What's always most amazing in these videos is Bernardo Faria's eagerness to learn new things and his humility in his art. Dude's a 5x World Championships gold and 6x Pan American Championships gold. Sometimes the guys in his videos are much less established than he is, and he's still so respectful and eager to learn. So much respect for Faria!
People clown John Danaher in the comments but I learned more from his TH-cam videos and instructional than I did from my first instructor (who I was training with for 3 years). My first instructor held back knowledge. A lot of politics. John gives away intricacies and details for free and people still complain. Head scratcher.
A lot of ppl take the piss about how long and theoretical his videos and explanations on techniques are .. But you can guarantee 99.99% are paying attention to every minute detail and everyone who watches learns at least one thing regardless of the level your at
Yeah, a lot of people like to goof on his tangents, but I don't think there are many sincere complaints. It's just funny. We all know he is dropping some serious knowledge bombs
Me: Mr. danaher, how do I make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? John Danaher: Well, first we need to discuss the system of peanut cultivation in the Jiangsu, Shandong, Guangdong, and Henan provinces of China and how seasonal climate changes effect growing cycles and impact exports to the USA. The peanut (groundnut) was introduced to China by Portuguese traders in the 17th century and another variety was provided by American missionaries in the 19th century. During the 1980s, peanut production began to increase, a major factor being the household responsibility system, which moved financial control from the government to the farmers. By 2012, it was producing 16.7 million tonnes of peanuts annually.Peanuts are often used to make peanut oil, a popular ingredient in Chinese, South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisine. Although China is by far the world's largest producer, the per capita consumption of peanuts in China as of 2009 was stated to be comparable to that of the United States. Most experts attribute the introduction of the peanut to the Portuguese during the Ming dynasty. Portuguese and Spanish traders introduced a number of crops to China during this period, including sweet potatoes, maize, potatoes , peppers, tomatoes, pumpkins, and tobacco. The peanut was introduced in Fujian at the start of the 16th century, and by the end of the century had spread to Zengian. American missionaries introduced the Virginia peanut in the middle of the 19th century. Archaeological finds of purported ancient carbonized remains of peanuts during excavations in China have led to the controversial claim that the groundnut is an indigenous crop, or that explorers from China or elsewhere in the Old World had discovered the Americas and introduced crops from there millennia before Columbus.

Right after the first choke at 12:19, you can see the emotional pain in the eyes of the Bernardo when John says "Now, let's have a look at that whole sequence one more time."
John Danaher is a terrifying man. I love how detailed he is and how he breaks down every step of the sequence. I could listen to him talk about jujitsu all day everyday. That attention to detail is the difference from being good and being great at anything you do. I've never been more scared of another human being. No room for error with that guy.
I don't get the comments here. People are getting a top expert teaching them a nuanced martial arts technique for free, and they complain the video is too long...
While most are jokes, It's also a valid criticism. Brevity and clarity are important skills as an instructor. Not saying Danaher doesnt have them but his style of teaching is not conducive to how most people learn. You also don't need this much detail to execute properly.
Wow that was mind blowing. The amount of intricate detail to a nasty choke. Love how the professor breaks down each step to lead up to the choke. Thank so much. Now I will never lose when I'm in that situation.
Watched this video and got my first tap using this rear naked choke on my second rolling session back when I started BJJ. Excellent demonstration and attention to detail
John Danaher: Lets go over this sequence once again. Bernardo: thinking Fuck no haha Awesome methode brothers very very helpfull. And i wish you a happy new year and all the health love and succes
As a purple belt speaking to younger belts, this is gold guys. And i mean this is gold for everyone myself included. I came here looking for something to guide me in my goal of bringing my back attacks to the next level. Im going to to spend the next several months perfecting this. My goal is to have a path to the back from standing passing guard, seated with open guard, and from mount. For the rest of this year my only goal with my training partners will be to follow my path to the back and exercise this choke GOLD Thanks for free and great content Bernardo and John
Perfect RNC by John Danaher (list format) 1st: control need to prevent opponent from rotating inside arms need to have one arm over the shoulder (strangle arm), and 1 arm under the shoulder (control arm) can lock hands together in "seatbelt" grip, which is either gable grip or clinch grip (control arm top) OR open hands with 1 on 1 grip. control arm hand is grabbing same side opponents hand with thumbless grip both will feature the strangle arm's elbow pinning the opponent's same side shoulder to prevent rotation 2nd: strangle setup: first problem is opponent putting chin down to chest defensively - need to create enough distance between chin and chest to fit wrist/rest of forearm think of hand as knife, use protruded knuckle of thumb with flattened fist to wedge between chin and chest first point of contact is thumb knuckle behind ear, digs in underneathe jaw towards chin once thumb penetrates, flatten hand completely against chest and use fingers to walk hand across once wrist penetrates, use flattened hand to lift with fingers against chest and shoot arm through finish: curl hand of strangle arm back behind nape of opponent's neck, hidden away and grabbing onto opponent's neck use head as wedge on top of strangle arm hand putting pressure into opponent's head to prevent movement take control arm out, put control arm's elbow over opponent's shoulder, and pass hand across opponent's neck blade strangle arm hand out into elbow joint of control arm grab own shoulder with control arm hand, lock in place by lowering chin onto forearm use rotational method of bringing strangle arm elbow over opponent's same side shoulder, rotating using back muscles
The detail of rotating toward choke arm is pretty dope, for the longest time I would squeeze both elbows together but the squeeze plus rotation is way quicker
Mr. John, great demonstration of the art of jiu-jitsu. You know, I,ve learned that detail for the last part of strangling, the 'water tap's crank rotation around the neck from Crolin Gracie, in the early eighties...Crolin is one of the best jiu jitsu teacher ever! Congrats for your observation of the move, during the years I've never seen most of black belts acquainted with this particular detail!
John, please consider doing a BJJ for self defence/MMA DVD. You are not only known for being the best coach for sport guys like Gordon Ryan, but also as a coach to guys like GSP. Thanks!
BJJ is for self defense and MMA. You should just learn BJJ. It's not like there's a special set of moves. Just if you have guard on the other guy, lock him down and try not to get hit while you work your game.
@@marcuspiscaer4120 no shit dumbass. You're gonna get hit from positions you can get hit from. It's literally the same thing, but with striking mixed in. I don't think there's a video version of that. You want to learn how to neutralize a person's arms as they're striking you while in your guard? Learn how to break their posture, trap an arm, and throw your legs over for an armbar. You want a list of moves you shouldn't use while getting hit in the face?
Started training about 3 months ago. Once/twice a week, religiously (save healing time on ribs). The amount I do not understand is voluminous. But John Danaher, is truly a wizard in application. This is enlightenment. Thank you for sharing... Oss!
Popped my cherry and got my 1st submission with this technique today :) Just started training @ 10th Planet 3 weeks ago as a new white belt. I was rolling with this aggressive new guy who is on his 2nd day. I watched this today before hitting the mats and to my pleasant surprise I was able to utilize this technique. It was a bit difficult to stay under the chin since we were so slippery but once I was locked in, it hardly took any effort & he tapped
Interesting fact is the name « mata leao » historically comes from Hercules killing the Nemean lion by strangle ( in some mosaics using a guillotine choke; but in most of mythologic stories, after taking his back so probably some « mata leao ») You have a lot of ancient mosaics with fighters using this exact technique
Thank you for this video... I can/could/would get to the position and won't finish the choke...now I Will implement the technique behind my struggles... Appreciate you/y'all for the video and the time you put in to explaining it to me... thanks again
I saw 2 videos, high elbow gillotine and this one. I just suscribed. Those details are insanely important, and make me understand why sometimes I fail. Very good content here. Keep up the good work.
Really good understanding of biomechanics and physics. Fingers and small tools for accurate setup THEN use whole body rotation to apply pressure and keep out of range of the opponent's arm s as much as possible.
It's actually not the carotid arteries that are the most important. It's the jugular veins. They are much more compressible as you only need to exceed the meagre venous pressures (which are ~3 mmHg compared to ~120 mmhg for arterial, ie 40 fold easier to compress). Once the jugular veins are occluded there is nowhere for the arterial blood supply entering the hard brain case to go. This causes a steep rise in the intracranial pressure, which left unchecked would lead to a burst vessel and death would quickly follow. Instead the brain and close by arteries (especially the carotid sinus and it's baroreceptors (pressure sensors)) detect this rise in pressure and very quickly drop both the heart rate and the blood pressure, leading to fainting (in medicine we call this a syncopal episode). This is relevant as occluding the carotids is much harder to obtain as you need to exceed the systolic pressure (quite hard to do, although probably not impossible). Also, it's completely unnecessary for the reasons described above - they are going to sleep with just the veins compressed, 100% of the time.
The amount of detail and thought put into each technique is outstanding, but not surprising. John should do an instructional on his process for developing techniques, combinations, details, and how he gets to each from beginning to end.
So good that even the camera man is choking from hearing the explanation.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣fucking hilarious
That's why it's called "the perfect rear naked choke" lol
hahahahaha
john acosta ok lol
Hahahaha

Thanks... I spit my tea all over my laptop when I read that 😭🤣
the moment he said ''lets do that sequence one more time'' my heart broke for bernardo
LOL!!!

in this case though, he is the student. John Danaher is the best BJJ teacher on planet Earth!
It's a hayooj honor hor him that's why
Bernardo is a bjj treasure
And he’s in there like a white belt who just got bit by the jits bug. Shit is admirable
Legend

who is complaining bruh
A lot of ppl take the piss about how long and theoretical his videos and explanations on techniques are ..

I don't think ppl complain just the internet jokes about hire knowledgeable he is, so they throw jabs but we all appreciate his mentor
Yeah, a lot of people like to goof on his tangents, but I don't think there are many sincere complaints. It's just funny. We all know he is dropping some serious knowledge bombs
Idk, anyone who complains about Danaher's teaching but if they do, I'm sure they never pull guard, so screw em.
I have to admit I love hearing the important details that most coaches miss or don’t discuss. Danaher is a legend.
I agree. My BJJ professor taught me to do a RNC that way because nobody can defend against it.
for his full series hit me up
Pro Seller post it
His attention to detail is amazing
Pro Seller how we meant to hit u up mate?
Me: Mr. danaher, how do I make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

Me:...
Didn't read!
Too much information!! LOL
Yeah but the Danaher Deli Squad dominates in NoGi PB&J so he's doing something right
Hahaha!
Thanks, I learned a lot about peanuts from this
Speaking of air supply, I'm worried about that cameraman's breathing. Is he in a RNC?
🤣
I was drinking water, all of that is on the floor now 😂
RNS
😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Darse Vader
Right after the first choke at 12:19, you can see the emotional pain in the eyes of the Bernardo when John says "Now, let's have a look at that whole sequence one more time."
No Doubt John is one of the greatest Instructors of our time. Any time John Danaher speaks about BJJ I'm willing to listen.
John Danaher is a terrifying man. I love how detailed he is and how he breaks down every step of the sequence. I could listen to him talk about jujitsu all day everyday. That attention to detail is the difference from being good and being great at anything you do. I've never been more scared of another human being. No room for error with that guy.
I don't get the comments here. People are getting a top expert teaching them a nuanced martial arts technique for free, and they complain the video is too long...
Right wtf
Mighty Spider they don’t realize the Bjj scientist is in session 😆
While most are jokes, It's also a valid criticism.
Brevity and clarity are important skills as an instructor. Not saying Danaher doesnt have them but his style of teaching is not conducive to how most people learn. You also don't need this much detail to execute properly.
@@nelson1954 you're an idiot
Low IQ
Watch St. Pierre's finish against Bisping, and he executes the RNC exactly this way. Danaher tutelage in effect.
Nice, gotta watch again.
4:15 rnc
12:20 repeat
17:43 proper seatbelt control
Wow that was mind blowing. The amount of intricate detail to a nasty choke. Love how the professor breaks down each step to lead up to the choke. Thank so much. Now I will never lose when I'm in that situation.
This is pure gold, never seen such a precise, detailed and deadly description. thank you so much
for all his series hit me up
🤝
That knife edge analogy is gold
Watched this video and got my first tap using this rear naked choke on my second rolling session back when I started BJJ. Excellent demonstration and attention to detail
I just started training BJJ and I’ve taken 6 classes and WOW this explanation is just wonderful. Thank you!! Looking forward to my next class!
so hows the bjj going? you keep up your trainning?
Gordon Ryan vs Galvao is even more impressive considering that galvao has literally no neck
John Danaher: Lets go over this sequence once again.
Bernardo: thinking Fuck no haha
Awesome methode brothers very very helpfull. And i wish you a happy new year and all the health love and succes
When you forget your tripod and gotta use a sleep apnia machine instead
Omg😂😂

How did your plan go??
he loves to teach , literally the greatest to ever do it , JOHN GODAHER
The way John Danaher talks about Jiu Jitsu is just Beautiful, This Guy is Just a Master.
Love how John goes into the tiniest details
literally never knew what an actual rear naked choke was before this. Amazing sequence
22 minutes well spent. All the little details... what makes John a master instructor. Always a pleasure to watch him!
Absolutely enjoy the technical analysis. John's humble, cerebral approach is what entices me to this sport.
I love John's pedantry when describing the differences between choking and strangulation 😂
Love, love, love this!!! John, your wisdom of this game is unreal.
What an amazing instructional video. John Danaher is an elite master trainer. This video has immeasurable value for self defense students.
Perfect RNC by John Danaher (list format)
1st: control
need to prevent opponent from rotating inside arms
need to have one arm over the shoulder (strangle arm), and 1 arm under the shoulder (control arm)
can lock hands together in "seatbelt" grip, which is either gable grip or clinch grip (control arm top) OR
open hands with 1 on 1 grip. control arm hand is grabbing same side opponents hand with thumbless grip
both will feature the strangle arm's elbow pinning the opponent's same side shoulder to prevent rotation
2nd: strangle
setup:
first problem is opponent putting chin down to chest defensively
- need to create enough distance between chin and chest to fit wrist/rest of forearm
think of hand as knife, use protruded knuckle of thumb with flattened fist to wedge between chin and chest
first point of contact is thumb knuckle behind ear, digs in underneathe jaw towards chin
once thumb penetrates, flatten hand completely against chest and use fingers to walk hand across
once wrist penetrates, use flattened hand to lift with fingers against chest and shoot arm through
finish:
curl hand of strangle arm back behind nape of opponent's neck, hidden away and grabbing onto opponent's neck
use head as wedge on top of strangle arm hand putting pressure into opponent's head to prevent movement
take control arm out, put control arm's elbow over opponent's shoulder, and pass hand across opponent's neck
blade strangle arm hand out into elbow joint of control arm
grab own shoulder with control arm hand, lock in place by lowering chin onto forearm
use rotational method of bringing strangle arm elbow over opponent's same side shoulder, rotating using back muscles
The detail of rotating toward choke arm is pretty dope, for the longest time I would squeeze both elbows together but the squeeze plus rotation is way quicker
This really is amazing. Anyone who bought his instructional videos recommended?
the way he communicates, he makes it easy for anybody to apply these techniques. That in itself is a huge skill.
Very detailed as always. Thanks Bernardo and John! ♥️♥️♥️
To understand the hear naked choke we must first understand the nature and evolution of the cochlea.
😂😂😂😂😂
Lol true
Haha
This is awesome, classic Danaher style of explanation
Trachea. The cochlea is part of the inner ear.
Mr. John, great demonstration of the art of jiu-jitsu. You know, I,ve learned that detail for the last part of strangling, the 'water tap's crank rotation around the neck from Crolin Gracie, in the early eighties...Crolin is one of the best jiu jitsu teacher ever!
Congrats for your observation of the move, during the years I've never seen most of black belts acquainted with this particular detail!
Wonderfully explained and shown like a professor. Thank you very much and best regards.
Danaher is a priceless gem. Thank you Bernardo for sharing your collaborations with him.
Thumbs up for John Danaher sharing this with all of us.
John, please consider doing a BJJ for self defence/MMA DVD. You are not only known for being the best coach for sport guys like Gordon Ryan, but also as a coach to guys like GSP. Thanks!
Marcus Piscaer he also worked as a bouncer
BJJ is for self defense and MMA. You should just learn BJJ. It's not like there's a special set of moves. Just if you have guard on the other guy, lock him down and try not to get hit while you work your game.
@@redditate4587 GSP says otherwise, as does Maia, Carlos Newton, Ryan Hall etc...I trust them.
Try doing an over under pass or hooking a leg when in guard during an mma bout and report back.
@@marcuspiscaer4120 no shit dumbass. You're gonna get hit from positions you can get hit from. It's literally the same thing, but with striking mixed in.

This man is amazing such a good teacher, thank you for your knowledge now I can teach my kids the right way of Bjj.
Absolutely beautiful. Blessed to have this information so easily accessible
Not only a brilliant tactician, Danaher is an outstanding instructor. No wonder he makes the best.
Bernardo "Huge Honor" Faria
Bernardo "Hear Nake Choke" Faria
Bernardo and John are some of the best coaches of our era.
I'm very interested to hear Danaher's reflections on BJJ in self defense.
I learn crazy by watching. Once I practice this all week. It's in the vault. Thank you both 🙏Amazing demo wow can't get this anywhere...
It's a huge honor to watch this.
Danaher is brilliant. Such an intelligent mind. Such an asset to the BJJ community
Very, very, very articulate. What a fantastic teacher. Please get him back. Ossssss.
Started training about 3 months ago.
Once/twice a week, religiously (save healing time on ribs).
The amount I do not understand is voluminous.
But John Danaher, is truly a wizard in application. This is enlightenment.
Thank you for sharing... Oss!
22 minutes of gold, thank you John 🙏🏻 god bless you
Thanks Guys!

What an amazing time we live to easily consume knowledge from top tier trainers of martial arts a mere few clicks away.
What an excellent teacher with exceptional knowledge. Thanks for the video
I could listen to Mr. Danaher talk about anything. Very good video.
Love these vids! Great job! Danaher is Yoda. Extra points for Darth Vader behind the camera
You both have the best DVD's.
john is such a good teacher.
this is why I love jiu-jitsu, subtleties like this!
This is really good walkthrough of it, very detailed.
Hell yeah can't wait to try this, been having a hard time finishing the RNC!
Interesting fact is the name « mata leao » historically comes from Hercules killing the Nemean lion by strangle ( in some mosaics using a guillotine choke; but in most of mythologic stories, after taking his back so probably some « mata leao »)
You have a lot of ancient mosaics with fighters using this exact technique
We are so lucky to have you guys on TH-cam
As a guy who has only tapped a couple of Blues..this is very thorough, a lot of people can not teach.
I like this instruction best. So detailed.
What a solid explanation. Very long but so worth it. It’s plugging all holes on my rear naked choke.
This is shockingly good!
Thank you

very good very descriptive and easy to follow, would like tohave this guy for my sensi
This man is a scientist. Amazing.
This man was born to teach.
Great lesson.
Thank you so much for publishing this for free 👊🏼
The details efficiency are impressive!
amazing i absolutely loved the technique in this
Incredible detail and teaching. Thank you
Nice clear precise - simple !
👊🏼😉👍🏼
My mind is blown. Thank you for all this. Thanks
enlightening to me.. it was different than i thought!
Hands down the best explanation!
Huge honor to watch this video.
COOL...let's see if I could remember all the steps in a hurry.
thank you, now i understand my mistakes while doing or defending the rnc, keep up the wonderful videos
He’s a master at his craft
Bravo...fantastic breakdown, always good to have masters go through it so you can see little things to improve the fundamentals
Thanks again Bernardo. Love these guys Danaher great teacher ❤
The amount of detail and thought put into each technique is outstanding, but not surprising. John should do an instructional on his process for developing techniques, combinations, details, and how he gets to each from beginning to end.
He’s done many instructionals.
So fascinating , definitely taking up bjj soon
