Placido low key fighting for his life

[@ajr7273]

The American AHHHHHHH lock!

[@samuelemeryjiujitsu]

'American Lock' has got to be Danaher's most diabolical attempt at a name change yet. We, as a community, must not accept.

[@kaikkimoi]

no time to say that one last A of the americanA!!!

[@ivantheterribler8346]

Let's make Jiu Jitsu great again

[@mozes42]

Everyone knows it’s called the paintbrush!😂

[@errgo2713]

Or, we each use whatever name we want as we've always done?

[@vladx3539]

he goes out of his way to deny Brazilian contributions to the sport

[@errgo2713]

Anglophones whinging for decades about him using Japanese names now whinge about him using English lol

[@patbateman69420]

Umm, it's not the American lock. it's called a gyaku ude garami (逆腕絡み) XD.

[@Spiritof_76]

If a person doesn't speak Japanese, there is no need to use the Japanese name for things. Translate that Japanese name for the technique and what do you get?

[@moqo]

@@Spiritof_76 reverse arm entanglement? I don't think American lock or Americana helps either unless you practice BJJ. Referring to the root art can sometimes help to clarify things.

[@Spiritof_76]

@@moqo From what I see in the USA, there are way more people doing bjj than judo. I'd prefer someone just telling me "Americana" than reverse arm entanglement when I'm doing this technique. Danaher has that professorial asperger's way of using certain terminology.

[@Omencreep]

My boy at 3:01 about get a neck cracked! He’s thinking, “Danaher you’re killing me!”

[@Omencreep]

My boy at 3:01 and 3:50 about get a neck cracked! He’s thinking, “Danaher you’re killing me!” Darth Vader breathing sound

[@Omencreep]

Patriotic American's United States of America Lock

[@zBryRobinson]

everyone crying about the name of a move they cant hit on anyone is crazy

[@Jorbuv]

AmericanA Also known as “the slot machine,” especially from ankle triangle.

[@JD2jr.]

I know plenty of whitebelts half or a third my size I can submit like that. Also most untrained people and small children. lol

[@leocoelho12]

Americana*

[@Seegie16]

We are calling it the american lock now?

[@Cody.Tafoya]

We're not calling it that.

[@scottyboy6269]

Never say arm bar then

[@ItsPhrendly]

Poor uke has had enough retakes of this instructional

[@BJJTube]

So Danaher, what would this "American lock" be called in a foreign language I will never speak?

[@miguelperalez4966]

Yeah, weird that he didn't call this by its judo name.

[@hamerthyme7810]

Pretentious waffle. He renamed Catch wrestling leg locks with Japanese names and now this. John’s brilliant , its undeniable but for a guy who values history and the martial arts he doesnt half do his best to erase it.

[@gordonfrimann246]

Cath wrestling didnt invent leg locks you fool

[@colt1596]

Americana. BjjFanatics glazing
