It's such a rare thing to see John on a podcast, loved every minute of it! The host was kinda cringe at some points of the podcast, but overall asked great questions.
0:13 - John's Background, Childhood, etc 5:02 - Self Image, Starting out in BJJ 14:09 - How John started Teaching 19:39 - Spread of jiu jitsu 21:22 - Intermission 22:24 - Return - Spread of BJJ & GSP 28:18 - Funny GSP Story 29:22 - Credibility in BJJ - there's no lies in sparring 32:42 - What John learned from his mentors
What a legendary guest, I always wondered how much of studying philosophy affected his ability to learn Jiu Jitsu or if he would of been a great Jiu Jitsu coach without it.
I don't think it affected his ability to learn, but his ability to teach. He thinks in systems and problem-solving. But before he teach you the answer he ask you about what you think about the problem so you know the importance. I've learned more from his instructionals than from my BJJ coach itself.
@@carloscortes1577 I wonder where I can learn more about his way of thinking, like probelm solving etc. I know that Karl popper has similar views on probelm solving, I would like to learn more about that though, his way of thinking about positions and creating a theory of certain things
Watch his instructional videos...he blathers on endlessly before getting to something as simple as a submission. That is what studying philosophy does.
When Dahaher said put me in a headlock and locked the door. I sounded like the Napolian Dynamite scene where they start slapping each other to test out their mma moves. 😆
Thank you for this content. I feel richer for listening to John speak here. After listening to this i am keen to listen and learn more from him. Great interview 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are a no belt join a school first then you will be a white belt 😂😂😂😂😂😂 so many people talk about jiujitsu and wanting to get good but never ever join a school it’s so sad. Men need to be brave drop the excuses and step up get started 💪🏻
@4:27 John says "I think the oldest child has to be the first one to break the rules... I am not a psychiatrist, but a psychiatrist could definitely give some interesting insights on that." I think John is a G... He knows far more than he admits to. Giving up priority of first to talk like that, and yet having the knowledge he has. I think he is an undercover expert. Ok, John. Fair play.
So long as you earned it, none of your elders can say anything. It seems like you have earned something though. I obviously don't know your specific circumstances, but you clearly have earned a lot. You are roughly 15 years older than me, but I am an oldest child, so at the very least I can speak on giving a sibling the floor if they have earned it.
I don't think that the parents get worn down, I just think that the parents learn over time that they don't have all the answers. If the parents had all the answers then they wouldn't get worn down, but after facing push back and trying to fight it, they slowly realize that they can't answer every question.
I myself can't answer every question. I make no judgement. Instead of trying to answer every question, how about we focus on an ultimate goal, and push for that?
@5:45 John says "I am naive" No you are not... you practice humility. Practicing humility is the smartest thing. Don't bs me, guy. I know someone who practices humility when I see one.
And after John says he is naive; he goes on to explain how he does things to practice humility. Listen buddy, I love you and your approach, but you aren't going to fool me, you practice humility to gradually know things.
Stop the nonsense. Lloyd Irvin has made more world champions than possibly any other coach. Lets respect that.....John is a good coach, but facts are facts
wow the host has no idea what he's talking about but trying to sound smart. Jiujitsu & MMA are not the same thing Whittle :( GSP was also coached by Greg Jackson.
He doesn't have a PHD. I appreciate his content but he reminds me of someone who taught AP classes....you already are getting the best students so what ware saying? Has he actually taught anyone white to black to a world championship?
Why are Canadians so gd at hockey, because I started it at 2 yrs old, so by the time I was 15 I had 10 000 hrs of practice in, practice and repetition creates greatness
Nobody should need to say they are a deep thinker, it should speak for itself. John, on the other hand, is a legend.
John Danaher is an absolute treasure to the martial arts movement. So happy we have him

He was absolutely cringe, Danaher hasta replayed “interesting” when this situations occurred

@@T-Fernz Basic philosophy is a good way to start. Socrates is the base of most problem solving systems of thinking.
A lot of John’s teaching methods/tactics are drawn from academia.
Watch his instructional videos...he blathers on endlessly before getting to something as simple as a submission.
That is what studying philosophy does.
Excellent interview, you covered a lot of stuff that wasn’t repetitive with other Danaher appearances. Nice job!
This is soooo good! And making me wanna do Brazilian jiujitsu 🎉 congrats on this great episode! Such a great podcast ❤
You won't regret it. It's addictive.
Do it. I started at 45. Im 46
Please do it’s amazing
Honestly an underpowered host for a guest of his caliber. I think if he had done more research on his guest this could have been better.
I don’t it was a bad interview at all. He asked questions politely n listened. I think it flowed well
Congratulations on scoring John Danaher as a guest!
Let's hope Danaher hasn't eaten him and stored his body parts in the basement.
History will reflect back on John being the GOAT a, Teacher and Instructor.
Great Interview - love how you listened, John is a great speaker. You need to amend the description tho bc he does not have a phd
Wow, what an interview!

Jiujitsu knowledge interview John compared to most of the time

Good job!
Love this man.

I always have to lower the volume when Danaher is speaking. I wish he wasn’t always so LOUD!

The only way you can be wrong is if you stray away from the ultimate goal.
Let's make that the standard.

He must not have thought deeply about the corniness of that statement 😂

Bro what?? he gets the best students because he has a history of turning lots of his students into world class grapplers
The answer:
Be their steroid dealer!!!!
LOL!!!😂
He has no PHD. He dropped out of the doctorate program
He drop out of the PHD in philosophy, for a PHD in strangles and breaking bones 😂
Well, wow, he said so himself in the interview...
Who cares.
@@ryanthompson3446 for real
Bravo, so u've been listening throught the whole video
Steroids ahahaha that is the teams secret.
