I'm a brown belt who has specialized in shoulder locks for nearly ten years and I STILL learned quite a bit from this video. You can never know it all gents, so don't pass these "basic" tutorials up no matter how long you've been at it. Thank you sirs for the information.
Congratulations for not giving up on watching the "basic" tutorials, man! I'm a white belt (who also specializes in shoulder and elbow locks), so I'm sure I'd learn more than you from this video :) ! I just have more stuff I don't know. Off to watch it now.
Person: hey John show me a basic submission. Danaher: ok you see the human body is split up into 2 half's, 8 limbs and 3 dimensions being spiritual,mental and physical that's how we all coexist within this ecosystem being watched by the extraterrestrials from the supernova of the crab nebula constellation of Taurus, so that's why I found it best to do this technique this way.
And just like that my kimura game has been permanently changed. Bernardo is probably my favorite personality in the BJJ community and the addition of John Danaher is the perfect combination for my learning style. Thank you Bernardo!
John Danaher was put on this planet to teach, on campus at Columbia University or on the mats at the Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy, this man was meant to teach.
John Danaher is such an amazing teacher. The way he breaks down techniques gives you such a deep understanding of what your goals are and the keys to the technique he is teaching. This elevates our ability to apply the technique correctly. Great stuff.
Word on the street is Danaher practices on cadavers first to find all breaking points. Rash guard is for safety always dealing with dead bodies. DDS name was given to them because this is the team that would go to hospitals and wait on warm fresh bodies as soon as they expired to be used as experimentation.
I can confirm this fact. I am one of the senior shift nurses at the Presbyterian Hospital on 51st, close to the RG Academy. We have a close working relationship with Mr Danaher and his team so that when we have an intact body comes in we hit a communication button which sets off a notification in the academy so they know. They have set up a 4 x 4 training area to the west side of the paramedics emergency entry for them to practice moves whilst the bodies are still warm.
Bernardo is extremly respectfull and humble to say he misses the kimura and cant finish it He is the perfect exemple of a true student of knowledge ! As for j danaher well no comment he is like a scholar in the subject 🙏
Old vid but golden info. My daughter has been doing mma training for a few years now and I’m generally ok with advice and help with striking, but grappling is an unknown to me. We’ve just gone through this step by step and, an hour later, it feels like she’s ruined my shoulder for a couple of days! Just as an idea of how effective that was, I’m 6’1” and 210lb and she’s an 11 year old girl!😂
This is a really good guide, just started BJJ and don't know any subs outside a triangle from guard. Well, I watched this and I can happily say I managed to get my first tap in open rolling. Good stuff, now I've got to watch the rest of your guides.
He is turning the kimura into a deadlift or goodmorning type action. Great use of leverage. Going to the end of the elbow is a huge detail. From what I have found, elbow at their shoulder provides the most control, elbow at their elbow provides the most breaking pressure.
Genius! It’s like what people learn in general at a BJJ academy is to beat average Joe’s on the street but the stuff John teaches to to beat black belts
Just watched the video again, and you are 100% right man! EXACT same technique, EXACT same steps into advancing to the final position! That man Khabib is a straight killer.... Scary shit. His understanding of body positioning for takedowns, top control and submissions are truly remarkable
My favorite submission from my favorite position, made even better thanks to both these amazing professors. Thank you, obrigado, and everyday freaking porrada porra!
I always did the kimura from side control. Then I started using the double wrist lock from catch wrestling stepping over the head which worked better. John technique is by far the best superb instruction and explaining
Been struggling with finishing this for a while with opponents sitting up and preventing me from stepping over. I've eventually just been going to a full helmet on the opponent to finish it. Will give this a try.
I really like this variation. I've always found success with the traditional "paintbrush" method the Gracies often use, but this is also a great option, and it seems to offer more torque...just be sure to maintain balance and position. I dig it.
In my humble opinion, the best execution in real combate of a similar kimura, technique execution explained by mastet John Danahet in the video above. Was implied by The Last Emperor, Feodor Emelianenko in the fight against Kevin Rondelman. Is worth checking out.
danaher has the talent, just like the gracies to talk around a subject for ages, the only diffrent is, he talks slower and like he explain a airplain engine
@@nocapcryptoo comp means not as much when it comes to coaching. People confuse skill with knowledge. One can be transmitted the other earned. John is hands down the top grappling coach in modern times. Name one who is sought after more than he? Ill wait...you cant...just because someone executes something well does not mean they can teach it well.... that is fact in any sport
donnie ward I agree to an extent - no-one has been better at articulating technique and mechanics better than JD. All this invisible Jiu-Jitsu bollocks was just people who didn’t have the ability to articulate it
@@panicjiu-jitsu5834 i agree, you dont need comps, but i dont see john as the best coach. he has a wierd way of explaining stuff, with overcomplex sentences. he dont use more physic/biology in his stuff than some other good coaches. i think its his ability to break down stuff to zero what makes him great, but to be on the top he needs to explain it easy, not make it sound more complex than it is, but thats how he sales himself i guess
@@nocapcryptoo not a fail...you named great grapplers and great coaches BUT not as sought after as him all around. Money alone wins this arguement. Lol ask bernard whos videis sale the most and fastest. Its not even close. I love all those guys also. But John is a more sought after coach...just because YOU dont think so doesnt make it true. Numbers prove it.
students of Jiu jitsu You know John has some serious physical limitations in his hips and legs that prevent him from competing. John might not have competed, but that doesn't diminish at all his ability to teach. Look at the students he has produced and how they have dominated the sub only scene. The guys you mentioned are great BJJ athletes and most of them have produced decent Dvds, but the anticipation and sales of their respective DVDs pale in comparison to John's; and John's DVDs have only recently been released.
Where is your favorite Kimura from? I love it from top side control.
When Bernardo said "very excited" in the beginning, I was afraid he wouldn't say it's a big honor for him. But he said it. Thank you.
LOL me too xD
loooooooool

Hes like the Kai Greene of BJJ 😂
Kais a sick bodybuilder that talks about reps like theyre Shakespeares sonnets
🤣🤣🤣
LMAO!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahhahahhahah accurate
As soon as danaher started speaking, I had to turn the volume up
I had to rush out and buy a new $5,000 sound system to amplify the silence
As soon as he started speaking I had to mute.
Then as soon as Bernardo started speaking again I needed new eardrums
He’s like my farts, silent but deadly
Haha same I had it on full volume
And just like that my kimura game has been permanently changed. Bernardo is probably my favorite personality in the BJJ community and the addition of John Danaher is the perfect combination for my learning style.
Thank you Bernardo!
Bernardo is such a sweet, humble bjj representative
he is not all this is actually wrong
Thank you Bernado for sacrificing your arm to further you tube’ knowledge base on the Kimura.

When John Danaher speaks, my soul opens up like a child asking for a hug

@@joopsnoop wait wtf really?!
John “The Hannibal Lecter of Jiu Jitsu” Danaher
Sounds so sinister. His calm james bond villain accent, so calmly explaining how to break you.
Joe Jr it's zen like!
let me tell you, how I murder people...… lol
Big member no at no point does he kill outright. He just wrenches all their joints and they die from shock. So that's more like only manslaughter.
Joe Jr I’m not sure you can compare him to James Bond anymore...
He definitely has a Lex Luthor air about him.
His understanding of the concepts are amazing. His way of putting it together to explain is 2nd to none!
Bernardo, you really liked this technique. I could see it on your face
Bernardo is always liking something.
My man was regretting every life decision
Big thanks to Bernardo Faria for being such a good and patient practice dummy in every one of these vids. 🙏 It’s a tough job.
I love how you describe each part of the move and why you do it, in detail.
Thank you.
Bernardo is extremly respectfull and humble to say he misses the kimura and cant finish it
He is the perfect exemple of a true student of knowledge !
As for j danaher well no comment he is like a scholar in the subject 🙏
It’s easy to see why his students do so well. Thanks for the instruction.
these little adjustments. positioning the hips and angle on the shoulder are game changers. Thank you.
Danaher's explanations are so concise it makes it easy to watch and then try his moves out in class.
Danaher is probably one of the best bjj coaches I've ever seen, if not the best.

Grappling is the great equalizer!
Free instruction by an amazing pedagogue in full HD. What can I say, we are blessed. John, I saw you on Rogan, hope your knee is getting better.
Kimura has become my main form of attack (and of course, it can turn into other attacks) thanks to this DVD.
This is a really good guide, just started BJJ and don't know any subs outside a triangle from guard. Well, I watched this and I can happily say I managed to get my first tap in open rolling. Good stuff, now I've got to watch the rest of your guides.
I like John Danahers way of teaching. Very calm and detailed. I'm going to try this at my next no gi class!
These explanations help us understand the physics behind these moves which is so key. I just appreciate these tutorials so much ! Thank you 😊
He is turning the kimura into a deadlift or goodmorning type action. Great use of leverage. Going to the end of the elbow is a huge detail. From what I have found, elbow at their shoulder provides the most control, elbow at their elbow provides the most breaking pressure.
3:20 pull dominant kimura
5:26 details to counter hip block
7:20 repeat
I can only imagine the look of relief on Bernardo's face when he lets go of the kimura
I was grappling today and i got side control and had the kimura and coudlnt finish no matter what cant wait to try this the next session
Genius! It’s like what people learn in general at a BJJ academy is to beat average Joe’s on the street but the stuff John teaches to to beat black belts
Khabib executes his Kimuras exactelly the same way. Really nicely explained🤙🤙
haha i was thinking khabib through out the whole video
is this how he did Michale Johnson or is there a different reference?
Oh yeah, that's right. Sorry Michael Johnson
Just watched the video again, and you are 100% right man! EXACT same technique, EXACT same steps into advancing to the final position! That man Khabib is a straight killer.... Scary shit. His understanding of body positioning for takedowns, top control and submissions are truly remarkable
He trains their quite a lot.
best kimura application I've ever seen! hooked on this video :)
Bloody brilliant he is
Danaher is an absolute master.
Amazing! Very similar if not identical to the Kimura that Khabib used against Michael Johnson
Doublewrist Lock is the old armlock in the books.
You can really see the difference between getting yuur hips up higher and just trying to reach for it in side control. Great insight.
I never trained in my life, and after watching all those videos I am planning to go pass the black belt exam
Thank you so much as always, huge honor for me.
My favorite submission from my favorite position, made even better thanks to both these amazing professors. Thank you, obrigado, and everyday freaking porrada porra!
JD is always a great honour to watch!!

Wow! Excellent teacher.
Thank you Bernardo.
Deus os abençoem.
I really admire how he explains the physics behind it. Please keep on sharing, and thank you for all of your posts!!!
I learned this finish a long time ago from Mat Serra, nasty powerful finish for the kimura
Thank you Bernardo for making these videos!
Amazing! So insightful!
Been struggling with finishing this for a while with opponents sitting up and preventing me from stepping over. I've eventually just been going to a full helmet on the opponent to finish it. Will give this a try.
Excellent explanation, very articulate, class!
I could listen to Danaher talk bjj all day... dude is an evil genius
Ok, can't wait for this DVD to come out
I really like this variation. I've always found success with the traditional "paintbrush" method the Gracies often use, but this is also a great option, and it seems to offer more torque...just be sure to maintain balance and position. I dig it.
Thank you both of you Coach!! Love you and respect you!!!
That creaking sound couldn't have been at a better time lol.
PigIron BigIron I just heard it and read your comment. Lol
Thank you for sharing. These videos are extremely helpful.
Danaher is a great teacher - and no broken Brazilian English.
Excellent. So much insight. Thank you.
Amazing breakdown from John
Very well explained. I will be using this technique. Thank you all - OSS!
Great detailed explaination. I love the kimura. I love this concept on the finish. Epic! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I'm adding that to my toolbox immediately!
Awesome teabagmura move
He sounds like an audio book, great voice
Woah, guys i tried this after the update it still works on current patch!!
Thanks 🙏 to both - I learned a lot here!

Granted, I’m a newbie, but this video blew my mind. Thank you!

John is the man
06:16 Khabib did just what John Daneher says. Khabib is a legend.
Great explanation!
Excellent detail. This channel is amazing.
John details are insane.
The mechanics of a kimura is the same as a toe hold, can apply these same principles to toe holds too
I usually find that my opponents legs are too long to allow me to properly apply the teabag.
BJJ gold technique! JD is the goat! 🐐
John Danaher is a G.
Great video. John is a stud !
thank you for the video
This man is a magician... 🙌
my idol JD is so good at conceptions managing and selling...
Sinister look on John Danaher on 9:38
Thank You
Thank you 🙏 this helps a lot
Hi man, top and No1 ..many tks and big rgds from Serbia !👍👍
I need to go train under this instructor.
Awesome detail thank you !
I feel like I understand this position for the first time
Thank you🙏🏻
So systematic. Step by step by step. #Professor
Subbed because of John
Damn! Very detailed as always.
Great to see this technique
Awesome instructor, he reminds me of professor Xavier.
This is awesome.
