How about this someday: "The John Danaher Podcast. Episode 1: The History of Jiu-Jitsu " Running time: 47 hours.

Please do a podcast on training methodologies and best practices!

I'm calling it now, a training methodology DVD will sell more than any other.

"would people be interested in that? See what people say." 😑 We're interested in anything you have to say that's Jiu jitsu related. Literally anything. Techniques, history, training methods.

Would most definitely be interested in hearing John Danaher talk albout his training methods!

Great hosting from Mr Faria. Asks few questions, doesn’t interrupt and lets his guest speak at length. Great to listen to.

The triangle is my favorite submission. I remember when I was only about 1 month into jiu jitsu and not sure if I would continue to keep training. My friends and I were getting drunk and high at the park and I’m not sure how it happened but my one friend who had a year of wrestling experience took me down to the ground and I locked my guard. My other friend who said admittedly “idk what’s happening but the guy on top is winning.” I then got double wrist control- he tried pulling his wrists away one at a time I let him have one and kept the other. I threw my legs up and over, locked it up and adjusted and got the tap about 5 seconds later. My friends were amazed because he was much bigger than me and I tapped him out. I was just glad in that moment that what I had learned in the past month was real. I had my doubts about it and have trusted jiu jitsu ever since that night. To me one of the best feelings in the world is submission. Knowing that if you weren’t playing the game- and it were a real fight for life, you would still win in most cases, is such a relieving feeling. Most of my anxiety in public was caused by being smaller than everyone else and knowing that smaller people lose to bigger people in most everything physical - including altercations. Now I can stand up for myself and one day I may have the confidence to stand up for other people

As soon as John mentioned Kosen Judo, man that put a smile on my face. John’s research is soooo in-depth.

Imagine not knowing bjj and listening to this like "today we're going to talk all about triangles"

Masaru Hayakawa, featured the first registered use of the move in a kosen judo tournament in Kobe, Hyogo in November 1921. A primitive version of the move had been shown by a Kobudō master Senjuro Kanaya around 1890, though it was apparently a simpler form of neckscissors without the posterior triangle action.

I don’t care what the topic, if John Danaher is talking, I’m listening.

The first time most people in the West ever saw a triangle choke was in the first “Lethal Weapon” movie and they/we didn’t even know what it was. It was a move that looked so impressive, so unique and deadly that it blew our minds. It was taught to Mel Gibson by Rorion Gracie.

I am amazed by John and his vast knowledge. Few BJJ practitioners even knows about variations of the sankaku jime/triangle. In my Judo classes in the early 90s, we trained all variations of it, from the back, the side and from the guard. In the last Olympics a Swedish guy who I actually trained with once, got to the bronze match by almost exclusively using the side triangle. There is of course the difference that you do not have to lock the choke (or alternative armbar) completely, since it is also works as a good pin/hold down. You may know that holding someone on his back in a dominant position for 25 seconds, is a way to win in Judo. And if anyone wonders, I tried to make a brief 40+ comeback, but my back couldn't take it. :(

John, I just want to say thank you. As a short person, I was deeply inspired by what you said about the triangle choke. You were superb in your explanation of the ideal body type for the triangle, but more importantly, you have hope to the short man. I admire everything you do, and I am a student at a distance. Even though I may never meet you, I take your principals to heart, and I admire your innovation. I also greatly admire your student, Eddie Cummings, who is my favorite of the Danaher Death Squad. Keep doing what you are doing as I am sure you are an inspiration to many. 👍🙏

Danaher is really leaving money on the table and depriving the world of maybe one of his best gifts, talking and specifically by way of large scale video training. I could listen to this genius talk for hours about cat food, and I don’t have cats. I can’t imagine if he started a monologue podcast with deep dives into the amalgamation of history, philosophy, and martial arts as they relate to one another. It would no doubt be PHD level education quality.

benerdo is so awkwardly entertaining lol

I hope you guys make a history of Jiu Jitsu documentary series with John narrating it. Top podcast Bernardo.

Man I love this. Faria, Danaher and Zenga are the bomb!

I bet If Danaher did a monologue podcast style high production value video of him reading the book of five rings & the art of war with him interjecting his own side tangents & anecdotes on philosophy & martial arts it would become the most listened to digital content in relation to martial arts, philosophy and their impact on life after a few short years. That would be my Bible equivalent and I’d fall asleep to it every night & listen to it to start every day lol

Evan “The Strangler” Lewis, American Catch Wrestler, was photographed performing The Triangle. He lived from 1860-1919.

hands down best jiu jitsu podcast, thank you and i cant wait for more, definitely would be cool to hear how he approaches learning new techniques and teaching techniques

Thank you gentlemen! I can't wait to hear the next podcast. Oss! 🙏🏽

one whole hour of john danaher 🙏

Tremendous amount of precious information!

Masaru Hayakawa ,Kosen Judo practitioner is on record to create this move and it took 7 years to become a very well known technic Sankaku Jime or Triangle choke. Circa 1921

Any bjj content coming from John danaher is pure gold.. please do more of this

Congratulations, Bernardo! Awesome podcast!

I can't get bored of this man. More podcasts with Danaher if possible and thank you so much for sharing!

I've only hit two triangles. The first was a Side Triangle back when I used to train 13 yrs ago-so much easier to do w my short legs. The 2nd was last year after my friend got Jon Danaher's instructionals. You're one of the greatest teachers I've ever had.

2 DVD's Danaher MUST produce: BJJ for Self-Defense Teaching Methodology

This comment is aimed at the John and everyone featured in this podcast and this video series. I'm not a BJJ practitioner I'm a Kendoka but I'm also a coach and I'd like to let you know that although I come from another discipline I still gain tremendous knowledge and benefit from the information you've put out. I particularly like how John places so much priority on positioning and the importance of the legs in martial arts as a whole and in the context of BJJ. I'm looking forward to the coaching approach/training method pod cast when that drops. Thanks guys for the effort and passion you put into your craft.

Thank you so, so much for all the great content guys, great podcast! John, you’re changing my life ! Please do the training methods video!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you so much Professors! Sankaku jime is my favorite technique and this podcast was very informative and entertaining! A conversation between Sensei Patrick McCarthy of Koryu Uchinadi and Professor Danaher would be a great service to the martial arts community.

awesome podcast, enjoyed it from start to finish. i have short legs and really struggle to lock triangles. cant wait to work on them some more.

Loved the podcast! Please keep it up! Thank you for the knowledge.

Rhis guy is the most clarify thinking person that I ever heard talking about this sport.Please do the video of training methods

John is a living legend of BJJ He is so Knowledgeable in all aspects of BJJ OSS

Further expansion on “leg-centric grappling” vs. “arm-centric” would be great. These concepts are taught in individual techniques, but I have a hunch that John Danaher has a system dedicated to this concept.

Definitely interested in Danaher's training methodology. I'd love to see a podcast on that. Pretty much anything you do with Danaher is going to get a ton of views no matter what you talk about.

Really appreciate Danaher's insights to grappling and martial arts in general

Great podcast fellas! Really fascinating stuff!

found out about this today 17/May/2019 ... on the one hand im glad i didnt last year for several reasons but oh boy on the other hand i wished i had these types of things available like 8 years ago. Love these podcasts

Danaher is a true sensei. IF he wrote an academic book on what every martial artist should know, I would read it.

+1 on Training Methods! Thank you gentlemen for a great podcast!

The first BJJ class I took was an early morning one. It was myself, the instructor and one other white belt. Luckily, the technique that morning was the triangle. My mind was blown away that someone had invented, or discovered rather the technique. I thought strangling someone unconscious with your legs in seconds was something only hollywood could invent. If we had instead looked at some obscure sweep from half guard, for example, I'm not sure I would have come back for another class.

Love the show and keep them coming!

John Danaher is amazing. That is probably an understatement.

Amazing podcast, amazing crew!

I love this pode cast!

So AWESOME!!!!

This is awesome

I have his whole ETS series, and i was starting with back attacks. However, this episode has convinced me to start with triangles.

Please keep this series going!!

First the popularity of everyday rash guards, then the return of the fanny pack. I love this guy! 🤙

Loved this poudcast!! More of this please!

Yes, Please do a podcast with Sensei John Danaher on training methodologies, evolution, historical perspectives, in depth insight. Then please make a DVD and online video to add to the collection.

John on methodology WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

yes please videos about training methods ! thx for all the free content

I read Gene Lebells autobiography a few years ago and he talks about seeing someone when he was young (a catch wrestler, I forget who) doing triangles back when he was v young, well before the 70s. How seriously anyone wants to take that is up to them but I'll see if I can dig that up

I love history. If I am into something, I want to know the history of it. This was an awesome podcast.

I AM INTRESTED. IN EVRYTHING JOHN DOES. MAKE THE VIDS, AM ALL FOR IT . ^^

Tremendous!!!!

Danaher always impresses

I love how he calls chokes "strangles/stangulations"

Good stuff!

Amazing discussion!

Great talk. Thanks

Also this was an awesome podcast !

It was about time to do the podcast

Alright, time to work on my triangles. Thx John!

A training methodologies and best practices discussion would be an amazing podcast!

I'm so glad that the Anderson Silva win had such an impact on me. I've been fishing for triangles ever since I started, and apparently I'm gonna be better for it.lol

Damn. Thank you for this.

thank you for this video!!! As a white that favors the triangle I almost give-up on it because I can set them up but can't finish them. very frustrating!!! haha. There is something missing from what I'm doing but after watching this video my love for the triangle returned. Now I will focus more on the triangle and do some reach. Osssss!!!!

This is gold

Due to the placement of the head near the junk of the attacker ancient clothless grappling may have had biting involved

Yes on the training methods podcast

Please do the podcast about training methodologies! It would be priceless!

I will be so happy to watch the video to explain how to train bjj. please I beg you to do the video 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Please do a podcast on training methodologies! That would be amazing

U are awesome guys.

Danaher suggests that Royce's triangle choke against Severn was the first in UFC history, and that the commentators had no idea what was going on. Both points are false. Jason Delucia defeated Scott Baker at UFC 2 via triangle choke. (Although many databases have it listed as submission due to strikes. Technically, Delucia had locked up the triangle choke from guard, swept Baker to mount, and it's unclear whether Baker taps from the choke or the punches) Furthermore, if you watch the fight, it's clear the commentator (Ben Perry) knew exactly what Delucia was doing, and repeatedly referred to it as a triangle choke while Delucia was locking it up. Funny enough, the Wikipedia entry on "Triangle choke" also completely fails to credit Delucia, however the UFC 2 entry does list Delucia's win as via triangle choke. (Similarly, Remco Pardoel defeated Alberto Cerra Leon via Ezekiel choke at UFC 2, yet most databases record this as an armlock win. Food for thought in relying on any database for historical MMA information.)

quite nerdy and interesting!

Bernardo`s voice=Arnold schwarzenegger of bjj......

Watch out for Professor Robert Drysdales upcoming documentary on the true history of Juijitsu,called Closed Guard. Might shed some light on some of your questions.

Great stories from danaher

Curious about when the leg scissors as a strangle/neck crank came out. Seems very old and possibly pre-empting the triangle date mentioned.

We need the training methodology video more than anything else. Also what about mma techs John? He was already one the best mma coaches prior to death squad days

Wow. How amazing. I can't even imagine grappling without triangles. The triangle, the threat, and it's defense are jiu jitsu to me. Crazy to think about them not part of the game.

If I could just download John Danaher into my brain and have his voice commentate on my daily life I would be complete

Yes please. Trainning methods.

I'm down to hear about curriculum overall schedule and individual class setup as well.

Yes!

I would TOTALLY be interested in training methods!!!! Please.

Thank you

100% want to know about training methodologies!

The Gracies admit that it was Rolls that introduced the triangle after lookikg at a judo book. So yeah, Carlos and Helio didn't know.

Training methods video or podcast would be huge!

Please do a training video, awesome!!

I'm a professional sailboat racing coach, and a bjj white belt. For the love of God, please do a podcast on training methodologies.
