Thank you Professor Danaher! I think we also need to remember how much Bernardo has given us. We are so lucky to be able to turn on youtube for daily content this incredible. Seems like just a few years ago I would just watch grainy sherdog videos for the 20th time.
thank you so much for putting out this amazing content for free on TH-cam. I own every program by John Danaher and Bernardo and I am sure this is going to blow my mind as well
Great insight into the orientation of judo methods when dealing with jiu jitsu. Especially what resonated with me are (1) driving to the floor with the techniques to have more certain control; (2) using techniques that are already familiar from working on the ground; (3) the idea that if you are going to pull guard anyway, you might as well go for something extra.
This first volume cover that. There are over 2 hours of content on self defense which takes into account diferent degrees of violence, multiple opponents and whether or not you or the other person are wearing clothes that are usefull for grappling.
The two hours of selfdefense he gives are probably my favorite selfdefense techniques at bjjfanatics. The instructional itself also grabs my attention because John contextualizes the lessons with his live experience as a bouncer, so the techniques he shares are battle tested.
It's very evident that John Danaher understands basic Judo principles and judging by the way he moves and does certain techniques he has to be a shodan in Judo at minimum. I think he's excellent with teaching adults and has good stand up skill. The issue I have with this video is the "drop-knee" O Soto Gari and this idea that there is a danger of roll through. I have a pretty devastating O Soto Gari. It's my best throw and I think I've rolled through five times over the past 14 years. The basics of Judo is always taught (or at the very least should be taught) in a way to secure the hold down or go for a submission immediately after the throw. In the demonstration at 10:25 his training partner is not nearly as off balance as John suggests and all he has to do is slightly adjust his foot to the left drive forward. He has both feet on the floor and all his weight against John on one knee with dead toes and the other leg hooked against. I think the version shown at 9:44 is a better way to teach beginner BJJ students and no, that's not the same drop-knee version.
I disagree with him aswell on some things. He know judo, but not nearly as well as he know BJJ. For example he doesnt like seinages in bjj, cause of back exposure or the idea of roll troughs is wrong. You dont have to roll tru. You roll tru to put the guy on his back. But you dont have to do it
Much love and respect from Austria/Croatia! I'm a fightfan my whole life and your videos are another step for my decision to train jiu-jitsu. You are an inspiration and I learned a lot from your videos. Thank you and Mr Danaher, you are both great in jiu-jitsu and as a person!
10:20 you don't need to drop to the knee. I used to do this to lessen the impact of my training partner but it's dangerous if even a tiny thing goes wrong because they can land on your knee. You can get the same benefits of body weight without risking your opponent landing on your knee: Dive the upper body downward but keep the leg hooking same as normal. You can see how it works in Judo competitions if you search for Osoto Gari highlights.
There are many excellent takedown instructionals at bjj fanatics by galvao and others, but there is ZERO programs on breakfalls (ukemi). Hurting myself is my number one fear about starting on the feet. PLEASE DO AN INSTRUCTIONAL ON HOW TO SAFELY FALL TO THE GROUND.
@@robvidalbjj not at all. The art of braking the fall is greatly developed in judo. But there is no dedicated instructional on it at bjjfanatics.com or even at judofanatics.com, hence why I ask for it.
Just need to learn trust yourself almost like a gymnast. Develop cat like reflexes. If you trust yourself you'll flow and not get hurt if not you'll be stiff its always the stiff ones landing on their heads. It's a feeling thing just gotta get in and try it. Their are many ways to break your fall
Google is your friend. Look up judo ukemi. Wrestling breakfalls. Gymnastics tumbling. There isn't a whole lot there technically, you just have to do a few progressions, and practice.
@@kanucks9 I have google ukemi, but not wrestling breakfalls or Gymnastics tumbling. That is a solid advice, mate. Thank you! I still want a proper instructional on the subject at bjjfanatics or judofanatics.com. I fell there is already so much quality content on takedowns, but none (not even mediocre or bad) on breakfalls and I fell it would warrant, at the very least, *one* instructional among the possibly hundreds (for sure dozens) there are on takedowns at judofanatics and bjjfanatics combined. Thanks again for the good advice. Osss
another thing about the dropping techniques, especially danaher's big 3, is that they work pretty well against most stiff armers. BJJ guys often stiff arm you and bend over to keep their hips away so it is really hard to throw them with the big turning throws. But you can often catch these guys with one of those sutemi waza.
Good for you John, someone finally incorporating Judo throws with your bjj, this will only help that have no takedown skills. It's long over due for bjj to finally learning and training great throws. OUS
They took our newaza first, now Danaher is set to take the tachi-waza too. If the IBJJF loosens up the rules and starts awarding takedowns, is that a higher realm of BJJ, or Judo as it was supposed to be?
johns next series, new wave no gi (the way he teaches no gi, not just enter the system subs) will have his standing teachings in it for no gi. its next series after feet to floor
@Puss Bucket He talked about the development of no gi standing to ground game, he referred to it as "scrimmage wrestling" on flograppling. On instagram dm I asked him is scrimmage wrestling going to be in feet to floor. he said no, but it will be covered in new wave no gi series. He has mentioned the "new wave series" on bjjfanatics facebook group, on video, and answering other peoples questions before
The "dropping" action is called in Judo "otoshi", so a dropping osoto gari is called osoto otoshi in Judo. By the way, Tai Otoshi es done with the same "dropping" action, no with a forward kuzushi (like seoi nage)
nice, although i prefer judo as a sport i always had issues with throws with no control where the thrower ends up getting rolled to the bottom position
For people asking for ukemi th-cam.com/video/IGtXfsquxIs/w-d-xo.html Tips: 1) Tuck your chin in when doing ukemi (so your head doesn't bounce off of the floor) 2) Do not post out with your arms when your falling, you'll break them (see this th-cam.com/video/ndyQsISsnuw/w-d-xo.html ) 3) When slapping the floor, do it from about 45 degree angle starting from the hip (0 degree) to the head (180 degree) 4) Do not cross your legs when doing ukemi (You can get bruise knee or squeeze your nuts like hard) Or just go do judo for a month or two, you'll pick it up quickly
Prof danaher, you must address self defense? Self defense is still being taught in static with no resistance, this method will never work against resisting opponents who are bigger and stronger then you, this area of bjj must be addressed?
@@jaimeivantamayo hi, am a bjj bb and i still see high level bb teaching self defense techniques to there students with no resistance at all? Here's my point in bjj training we train with resistance, but when it comes to self defense aspect of bjj why is it static training. This is a big disconnect, and am not saying all instructors do this ? But i been in bjj for 20 years and i see alot of this still going on, danaher gave me my very first lesson at renzo"s when i walked in off the street 20 years ago and he was a blue belt teaching he got his purple belt right after that?
@@bjjujitsu when you first learn a technique you learn all the details then you drill it and then you try to do it when you are rolling. When you roll you are training with resistance from your training partner thats the point i was trying to make? In self defence not all bjj schools or bjj instructors but alot are still training self defence in static with no resistance at all, i understand you first have to learn all the details of a technique but at some point you have to test it in real time to see if it actually works. Thats what i mean when i say alot of self defense not all is being taught only in static and not being tested in real time? I been doing bjj for 20 years and still see this in alot of schools, they learn a self defense technique drill it slowly x amount of times and thats it? It has to be tested in real time to see if it actually works?
Great video and thanks for putting this out. Great Judo skills by John...very impressive. That drop O soto works so well and great tutorial for the Yoko Tomoe Nage. What a treat to learn from the best!
I'll never understand this sort of thing. Why do BJJ guys try and teach Judo? Just get someone that trains Judo to teach it. Don't get me wrong, anything BJJ related and Danaher is basically god, but when it comes to throws, it's apparent they aren't his wheel house. As an aside, his analysis of Tai Otoshi at 11:31 is incorrect. Even an improperly executed Tai Otoshi will never result in your opponent pulling you over after the fact like that. Especially, if your throwing a BJJ guy with no break fall experience whatsoever. Search any Tai Otoshi highlight reel and you'll see for yourself. Your weight goes towards your extended leg and down into the ground, not forward like in a Seoi-Nage which is what causes the rollover; especially if you over throw it.
One of the greatest Tai Otoshi thowers of all time Won-Hee Lee always drives his head down and forward to his NON EXTENDED LEG th-cam.com/video/HNK3RS4i-sw/w-d-xo.html. also look how there is roll through potential and full back exposure here th-cam.com/video/HNK3RS4i-sw/w-d-xo.html and this is just the first highlight video i watched
@@bradbettis9210 I watched the same video. That happened due to the guy grabbing on as he went over, not after he was thrown onto his back and pulling the guy over. That's point I was making. Also, it may look as though his weight is over his non-extended leg but all his weight is transferred to his extended leg and downward. That's what generates the throw. Tai Otoshi means "body drop" as in drop your (the thrower's) body weight straight down to throw. The throw is actually impossible to do with your weight over your non-extending leg. The weight transfer and drop is what causes the throw.
I agree with you that a roll through like that would never happen unless it was a deliberately timed counter which is difficult to do. I have rolled through on tai otoshi but it's only done so I don't land on a training partner in randori (sparring). If I didn't care about that and my balance was that far forward I'd just drop right into side control.
Só, basically, according to this video, if you want to learn how to apply proper takedown, take Judo classes. Because you will never learn that stuff Danaher is showing, at least not the best way to do it, on most BJJ dojos. Well, I guess Robert Drysdale is correct in the end: BJJ means Basically Just Judo.
@@DR-jz1esJudo is extremely popular. And it is grappling. As jiu jitsu people we don’t need to put down other sports to lift ourselves up. The more interest people have in combat sports and martial arts in general the better we all are for it
Not really. He mentions in the video that judo has different goals than jiu jitsu. The summary at the end basically says exactly what the goal is. We can’t keep trying to just add other techniques onto jiu jitsu and hope it works. We need to explore and test what techniques work the best in a cohesive manner with the rest of the sport. I did judo for 3 years before I started jiu jitsu. I couldn’t make my throws work well until I watched this video and took some of this advice on board. Particularly the drop variation advice. I pulled off 3 different throws in a 5 minute roll. It’s the first time I’ve been able to do that and I’ve been doing jiu jitsu for 3 years as well at this point.
@@MidnightAssass1n it’s all grappling. Jiu Jitsu. Wrestling. Judo. That’s the weird thing about casuals. Wrestling has all the same take downs as well except more brutal and aggressive. Jiu Jitsu adopted most of everything and judo in its singular form isn’t the end all be all. It’s grappling. Judo guys remind of Krav Maga guys. Mega cocky and feel the need to be heard and superior. Not saying that’s you as an individual. In general I’ve ran across that plenty.
Danaher has pretty bad technique when it comes the throws demonstrated in this video. You really shouldn't worry about getting countered with an osoto-gari if your kuzushi is correct. His osoto-otoshi form is also bad, look at how far he leans back, and where his hands are - away from his body. His osoto-gari at 15:00 was okay If you want to learn any of these techniques, just go to Judo class. You will also learn how to ukemi and how to avoid getting winded. Not trying to disrespect Danaher here, he is a wizard with grappling technique and gameplans, but this just aint it
You may think you know judo but sweetheart if you think kuzushi will save all you have alot to learn. just think of what the first counter to osoto-gari is..need help..take uki's kuzush step back and turn 90. And in a sport where uki can just jump guard and sit on your leg your knee can be in real danger in ways the rules of judo protect you from.
@@erikmmccray With efficient kuzushi and correct distribution/motion, counters are very unlikely. In Judo, how often do you see it? Against less-experienced grapplers? sure, but at the black belt level? Seldom. But yeah, pulling guard sucks in this situation. I can appreciate that the rules aren't perfect; Judo allows a reset if you stand up when uke has a fully locked in armbar lmao - one of the worst rules;
@@erikmmccray Not really if the kuzushi is done properly there is no way you'll be able to step back, the idea behind a kuzushi for osoto gari is to put the opponent's weight onto the leg that you are going to reap. You can try it too, lean sideways against a wall put all your weight onto the leg closes to the wall, see if you can move it easily hun. EDIT: What john is showing in this video is osoto otoshi (some call it o soto gake because your hooking the leg), similar to osoto gari but not the same
@@andreysid2610 OK, so all the times I did just that move on "blackbelts" since I got my "beltblelt" back in 1992 must have been a fluke..... Mudansha.
O Soto Gari is the single most reversed Ashi Waza in Judo from White to Black Belt, because regardless of the perfect Kizushi you're able to demonstrate on your training partner in practice there's a world of difference in competition vs a resisting Uke. That's more or less how O Soto Gake came about in the sport, with the current Ippon rules there's no reason to perform a "traditional" O Soto Gari because the risk vs reward of an O Soto Gaeshi isn't worth it. And finally O Soto Otoshi and O Soto Gake are not the same throw, the first is an officially recognized throw by the Kodokan and the latter is not - it's classified as an O Soto Gari variant. O Soto Otoshi has varrying leg configurations, but invariably you remain standing durring the throw and drive your opponent over your leg as opposed to taking out the base of his support. You can do that with your foot planted on the floor as far as O Soto Otosi is concerned, where O Soto Gake only has one, distinct, leg configuration - hence the name.
brilliant video! but it's too long, too many ideas in one shot. I prefer more your standard format, where instructor explains thouroughly only one or two technics.
John Danaher was a myth people doubted there was a practitioner that trained and taught Jiu jitsu 60 hours a week in a basement (even though it was definitely much more than 60) and although he will never promote himself he was the highest level practitioner despite never competing yet annihilated every highly decorated gi or no gi world champion that crossed his path he is by far the goat of BJJ with crippled not injured knees
17:50 The three takedowns that are unusually well suited to the sport of BJJ:
1. tomoe nage
2. sumi gaeshi
3. uki waza
and the ouchie

I was looking for that comment hahahahh

Being respectful! Such a class act!
I thought the same thing!! LMAO. But.... Danaher is a BEAST
That tip to help commit your weight coming forward by dropping to the ground was great, can't wait to try these tips
Damn John's eyebrow and smirk game was on top form today, you see he's thoroughly enjoying filming this series
Great insight into the orientation of judo methods when dealing with jiu jitsu. Especially what resonated with me are (1) driving to the floor with the techniques to have more certain control; (2) using techniques that are already familiar from working on the ground; (3) the idea that if you are going to pull guard anyway, you might as well go for something extra.
3:29 looks like an interrogation scene shot in the First Person in which John Danaher is a Counter Intelligence Officer with his 2 HenchMen.
Bernardo has the best intro game on the youtube.
so next is bjj for street fights series with john danaher.
buy feet to floor vol 1, danaher talks about streetfights in dvd 7 and 8.
This first volume cover that. There are over 2 hours of content on self defense which takes into account diferent degrees of violence, multiple opponents and whether or not you or the other person are wearing clothes that are usefull for grappling.
The two hours of selfdefense he gives are probably my favorite selfdefense techniques at bjjfanatics. The instructional itself also grabs my attention because John contextualizes the lessons with his live experience as a bouncer, so the techniques he shares are battle tested.
@@jaimeivantamayo And tested by his teacher, Renzo

When is the no gi takedown series coming?
You're looking for Garry Tonon's Shoot to Kill series.
This first volume has about 2 hours of no Gi takedowns for selfdefense

@@bradbettis9210 I watched the same video. That happened due to the guy grabbing on as he went over, not after he was thrown onto his back and pulling the guy over. That's point I was making. Also, it may look as though his weight is over his non-extended leg but all his weight is transferred to his extended leg and downward. That's what generates the throw. Tai Otoshi means "body drop" as in drop your (the thrower's) body weight straight down to throw. The throw is actually impossible to do with your weight over your non-extending leg. The weight transfer and drop is what causes the throw.
I agree with you that a roll through like that would never happen unless it was a deliberately timed counter which is difficult to do. I have rolled through on tai otoshi but it's only done so I don't land on a training partner in randori (sparring). If I didn't care about that and my balance was that far forward I'd just drop right into side control.
Só, basically, according to this video, if you want to learn how to apply proper takedown, take Judo classes. Because you will never learn that stuff Danaher is showing, at least not the best way to do it, on most BJJ dojos. Well, I guess Robert Drysdale is correct in the end: BJJ means Basically Just Judo.

Also known as "Judo".
Judo is played out. Jiu Jitsu is grappling. Nobody likes judo.
@@DR-jz1esJudo is extremely popular. And it is grappling. As jiu jitsu people we don’t need to put down other sports to lift ourselves up. The more interest people have in combat sports and martial arts in general the better we all are for it
Not really. He mentions in the video that judo has different goals than jiu jitsu. The summary at the end basically says exactly what the goal is. We can’t keep trying to just add other techniques onto jiu jitsu and hope it works. We need to explore and test what techniques work the best in a cohesive manner with the rest of the sport. I did judo for 3 years before I started jiu jitsu. I couldn’t make my throws work well until I watched this video and took some of this advice on board. Particularly the drop variation advice. I pulled off 3 different throws in a 5 minute roll. It’s the first time I’ve been able to do that and I’ve been doing jiu jitsu for 3 years as well at this point.
@@MidnightAssass1n it’s all grappling. Jiu Jitsu. Wrestling. Judo. That’s the weird thing about casuals. Wrestling has all the same take downs as well except more brutal and aggressive. Jiu Jitsu adopted most of everything and judo in its singular form isn’t the end all be all. It’s grappling. Judo guys remind of Krav Maga guys. Mega cocky and feel the need to be heard and superior. Not saying that’s you as an individual. In general I’ve ran across that plenty.

English please
Danaher has pretty bad technique when it comes the throws demonstrated in this video.
You really shouldn't worry about getting countered with an osoto-gari if your kuzushi is correct. His osoto-otoshi form is also bad, look at how far he leans back, and where his hands are - away from his body.
His osoto-gari at 15:00 was okay
If you want to learn any of these techniques, just go to Judo class. You will also learn how to ukemi and how to avoid getting winded.
Not trying to disrespect Danaher here, he is a wizard with grappling technique and gameplans, but this just aint it
You may think you know judo but sweetheart if you think kuzushi will save all you have alot to learn. just think of what the first counter to osoto-gari is..need help..take uki's kuzush step back and turn 90. And in a sport where uki can just jump guard and sit on your leg your knee can be in real danger in ways the rules of judo protect you from.
@@erikmmccray With efficient kuzushi and correct distribution/motion, counters are very unlikely. In Judo, how often do you see it? Against less-experienced grapplers? sure, but at the black belt level? Seldom.
But yeah, pulling guard sucks in this situation. I can appreciate that the rules aren't perfect; Judo allows a reset if you stand up when uke has a fully locked in armbar lmao - one of the worst rules;
@@erikmmccray Not really if the kuzushi is done properly there is no way you'll be able to step back, the idea behind a kuzushi for osoto gari is to put the opponent's weight onto the leg that you are going to reap. You can try it too, lean sideways against a wall put all your weight onto the leg closes to the wall, see if you can move it easily hun.
EDIT: What john is showing in this video is osoto otoshi (some call it o soto gake because your hooking the leg), similar to osoto gari but not the same
@@andreysid2610 OK, so all the times I did just that move on "blackbelts" since I got my "beltblelt" back in 1992 must have been a fluke..... Mudansha.
O Soto Gari is the single most reversed Ashi Waza in Judo from White to Black Belt, because regardless of the perfect Kizushi you're able to demonstrate on your training partner in practice there's a world of difference in competition vs a resisting Uke. That's more or less how O Soto Gake came about in the sport, with the current Ippon rules there's no reason to perform a "traditional" O Soto Gari because the risk vs reward of an O Soto Gaeshi isn't worth it. And finally O Soto Otoshi and O Soto Gake are not the same throw, the first is an officially recognized throw by the Kodokan and the latter is not - it's classified as an O Soto Gari variant. O Soto Otoshi has varrying leg configurations, but invariably you remain standing durring the throw and drive your opponent over your leg as opposed to taking out the base of his support. You can do that with your foot planted on the floor as far as O Soto Otosi is concerned, where O Soto Gake only has one, distinct, leg configuration - hence the name.
I would recommend you to learn more judo... get a good judoka to teach you.. you have some ideas but some of your principles are wrong...sorry
Sorry I can't stand to watch. The guy in blue exudes too much arrogance.
brilliant video! but it's too long, too many ideas in one shot. I prefer more your standard format, where instructor explains thouroughly only one or two technics.
John Danaher was a myth people doubted there was a practitioner that trained and taught Jiu jitsu 60 hours a week in a basement (even though it was definitely much more than 60) and although he will never promote himself he was the highest level practitioner despite never competing yet annihilated every highly decorated gi or no gi world champion that crossed his path he is by far the goat of BJJ with crippled not injured knees
I’m so sorry for what I’m going to say but I just want to see the move all the other talking is just too much lol
take judo lessons instead
No, judo is very counterproductive. Wrestling is better 💪
