0:35 I loved how John leaned in like he's teaching secrets the government doesn't want the public to know

[spacelevator]

Everyone remember to turn the volume down before clicking the next video

[betovargas]

Life is simple. I see John danaher, I click.

John is one healthy outlet away from being an actual cannibal. God damn scary ass genius.

I love how Danaher's ability to create and communicate jiu jitsu theory is so good, a longtime black belt like Bernardo Farias sees the info as revelatory! Danaher is filling a huge demand for understanding why and how Brazilian jiu jitsu works and these videos where Bernardo is like "I never thought of it that way" and "it makes so much sense" exemplify the importance of Danaher's work!

I've come to a point where I don't think the closed guard is interesting, but Danaher's insight has shattered all my prejudices and misunderstandings and now I'm intrigued by the closed guard once again! Thank you!

[divinerage]

I love it when John says, 'bring the camera this way'. He is so attentive to the finest detail. Would love to meet the guy.

[suliuchen]

My closed guard was super god before but after this video no one could escape that now they call me the queen of guard. Keep up the good work.

[jaehwan]

John Danaher is going to be taking my money AGAIN. 😊 But yes, the quality and depth of his instructionals are second to none.

[lucian]

[deviljon]

I love the focus on kuzushi right before 10 minutes.

[NeoMororo]

He is whispering , I feel like he is telling a secret, well I am all ears maestro 💪🙏🤙🏼

[donsmith]

John danaher it's a fkn genius, he is the only coach I will listen to with every fiber of my being!! I've been in jiu-jitsu since 96 and he is the greatest mind that has ever evolved in this sport!

[MWes]

John Danaher will forever be whispering "Buddocks" into my ear for the rest of the day

[BrokenFistX]

I love Bernardo and John's bromance ALMOST as much as I love their technique videos. Cheers!

[patoasdf]

11:15 just for that detail, it's worth watching the video. Excellent

[GodisGracious]

i love John's deep long gaze into the camera when he is in weird positions.

[jeskow]

Am I the only one who was submitted by the sweet, soothing tone of Danaher's voice and woke up in a daze at about the ten minute mark? Anyone?

[majin]

Just started Bjj 3 months ago this man is absolutely amazing!
