Yeah... he's talking about jiu-jitsu but he sounds like a james bond villain explaining why he hided the weapon of mass destruction under an italian opera house.
1.Take the fight to the ground. Without being able to push off the floor your opponent has a lesser chance of generating kinetic energy to throw strikes. At least the damage is reduced. 2.Go past his legs./ Pass the Guard. Because even an untrained guy will kick you. A trained guy can arm bar/ choke you. 3. Control / Positional awareness. Go through the hierarchy of dominant controlling positions. They are graded according to how much you can damage him with strikes while being on top of him. 4 Submission. Finishing the fight without hurting him if need be.
@@juanwalker7424 Well he has a record to back up his words. His students are among the greatest grapplers in the world, and notable people within the combat sports and martial arts community have stated that he is the greatest bjj coach out there, with his gym also being considered the greatest, and his students world class. Gary Tonon, The Ryan brothers, Nick Rod, etc...
I disagree with step 3. Why are the pins or positions of step 3 graded on your ability of landing strikes only? Shouldn’t it be your ability to land strikes AND submissions? Better yet, ability to land strikes and submissions while being better abled to defend against strikers and submissions.
@@revo1974 In my old MMA club we had a rule - "Never trade punches to the face for a better position". The reason for this rule is similar to step 3 in the video. Grappling is meant to enable striking, which in turn enables you to finish your opponent with a submission. MMA is the combination of the two together. The reason BJJ was so dominant in early MMA is because it was the first art to combine the two functions together.

I love John’s analysis of a javelin thrower on their knees losing power. When I was in little league baseball, one of the exercises we had to perform was sitting in cross legged position and throwing the ball from greater and greater distances. It was an effective upper body workout. And of course it taught us how to use our legs when we were back on our feet. Great insights here in this interview. This is got to be one of my all-time favorites from Rogan. 👏👏
John Danaher, felt like he was some kind of a returning Jedi from a lengthy exile and while on his exile discovered this system from and harness and mastered it all the while returning back teaches everything what he had learned and to apply it to one's self.
Submission Grappling - Step 1 - Get it to the ground, eliminating use of explosive kinetic energy. - Step 2 - Get past the dangerous legs. - Step 3 - Work through a hierarchy of pins, granting gradually more advantageous striking platforms. - Step 4 - Apply Submission.
John: So what’s the step number 4? Joe: Attack with a submission.. ? John: Correct. ( taking a ThugLife gulp of water) ... Joe froze thinking: I thought I was wrong tbh.
Going to the ground also uses the environment as a “wedge” as he uses the term...americanas and kimoras and omaplatas all those locks require the ground as a wedge
I think it’s more of a five step system with 5 being “submit,” and 4 being “isolate.” After you have secured a dominant position, there are still so many submissions available to you depending how your opponent chooses to defend. Just because you have the position doesn’t mean you can just submit someone easily. You have to work on isolating an area. Isolation doesn’t have to be a single limb, but it does need to be a targeted area. Take the Gracie’s triple threat position. They are isolating the neck and an arm where the primary target of the triple threat is a choke variation or an arm bar. In summary, you can’t submit in a dominant position until you have isolated an area. To go from pin to submission definitely has that isolation step because many BJJ fights in competition have resulted in a win only from maintaining dominant position because they couldn’t get the submission before time ran out.
Cory Vore Would you really call it isolation of the neck before performing an RNC though? Doesn’t quite sound right. The rest i understand but theres a blindspot in the chokes
An excellent presentation. My only quibble is that taking the back with hooks in doesn't improve your striking efficiency, if that's the metric as JD suggests. It does of course bring you as close as possible to finishing the fight and the safest place to be.
Finally; a Jiu-Jitsu Master who can see in more than 2-dimensions and an Intellect. Rather than expertise based on years of adaptive muscle memory. You can play BJJ and have a BRAIN.
In regular wrestling you learn a take down, escape and a pin, judo and jujitsu you take some of the safety out of wrestling you can reach directly for the head you don't have to reach under the arm, a lot of the concepts are body follows head, hand control, and subconscious moves that are you aquire through training, the Banach brothers are from my hometown
ugh it ends right at "where do leg locks fit in?" Brilliant! I need to look up the podcast, but I suspect leg locks are a means to pass the guard. It is difficult to use the legs to defend your body (and maintain guard) if your legs themselves are being attacked.
I started with liking Danaher but over the years I've come to see him as petty and narcissistic. Rogan is getting his answers "wrong" because what he's looking for is deliberately vague so that Danaher can play the professor and give all the answers to poor uneducated pupil Joe. He just spent 7 minutes milking his "oh this guy is so smart" moment when he could've just delivered the entire thing concisely in 90 seconds. Guy just likes being seen as smart. He is, but he's overplaying it. Like much of the stuff he says, I'm sure most people got out of it not actually having learned many (if any) new things, but it was sure as hell delivered as if it was a lecture from the next Einstein telling us something deep and new about the universe.
Agreed. He’s talking to a BJJ Blackbelt. I love his theory and understanding of mechanics. His explanations are unnecessarily nuanced and drags out information that could be stated clearly without 10 minutes of rhetorical questions to see if others minds work similarly.
Step 1 - Take opponents to the ground. Closer the body is to the ground, the lesser the explosiveness. Step 2 - Get past opponents legs. Step 3 - Work your way through hierarchy of pins, graded upon its ability of striking. Step 4 - Attack with submission.
Thank you John, this is the Jiu-Jitsu I learned and love.. modern sport bjj has gotten so far away from this self defense mind set... 4 steps of sport bjj: 1. Sit on your ass 2. Scoot on your ass 3. Try to grab your opponents leg/ Hope your opponent sits on their ass too 4. Attack the legs
John: what is the first step to self defense? Joe: 🤔 takedowns? John: 😏 Joe: ground control?? John: 😒 Joe: 🤔🤔🤔 John: The big bang is the most explosive event in history...

He was a PhD University professor at an ivy league (Columbia) school before he defected to Renzo Gracie basement. He studies so much, he is a student of the game and a genius.
