How To Do The Perfect Armbar by John Danaher

[@BernardoFariaBJJ]

Is armbar one of your favorite submissions in jiu jitsu?

[@Kai-bd1oz]

Yes Bernardo !

The way bernardo is so eager and excited to learn, you wouldn't even think this guy's a world champ. One of the best, for sure.

[@WVY.iscold]

Why not?? World champs become the best by being with the best

[@GodlordBazi]

Well, being eager to learn is what got the human species on top of the food chain in the first place. (;

His teaching method is flawless. A step by step method, that he repeats twice instead of asking “are there any questions” as you would in a group class.

[@SirWellingtonTheWell]

john danahers real wizardry is making you realise you've spent 7 years training jiu jits and still don't know how to apply a basic arm bar from mount

[@AmbicionEterna]

Over 10 for me :/...I personally use a variation on some of the hand positions he shows here, but I'm excited to try this

[@nathansmith5373]

I hear ya!

[@jimmynich4791]

A brown belt where I used to train showed me the arm bar from mount and he showed it wrong. He told me to lean forward before bringing the leg over my opponents head, the way John shows it here is much better, I was losing my balance the way I was told before.

[@paolo2012]

Seriously....

[@Zobokolobozo]

He gets the physics behind it. He speaks so clear and scientific. This what you should focus on in grappling as a beginner how to get the most leverage in yoyr moves. No matter if its standing up in the clinch doing heavy wrestling or if its on the mat. It's all about efficiency and mindgames.

[@kaikkimoi]

When i see these Danaher videos i get sad that i can't train with him, but then again im happy that we are living in a time that i can see Danaher videos in youtube, imagine how you would miss all these golden nuggets if youtube never came around!

I’m a simple man. I see John Danaher. I click,

[@johnhagebeuk8]

Noone At all Same here. He explainse so calm and complete i have no more questions.

[@flipao1]

@@comedyandjre You mean when you are in S mount? The key is to put all the weight on him and his far arm controlled too by pulling into you. At the same time your leg (from knee to foot) has to be perpendicular to his body in order to prevent his rolling and always with foot activated (the fingers' foot pushing into him). It's hard to explain only with words but I hope this helps.

The knowledge that this man possesses is one thing, the ability to communicate this extensive knowledge in manner that is unmistakable understandable is unmatched.

[@crossfitbilly]

Just amazing detail. John Danaher is the best BJJ teacher that I have ever seen. Bernardo Faria is an amazing BJJ practitioner with a great attitude. I hope these two do lots of video series and seminars.

[@Chaz_NFQ]

Here’s what separates Danaher from the rest: Rather than teach a few generalities about a large number of moves (which is what most of our BJJ instructors do,) he teaches a massive number of specifics about a small set of moves

[@larsb.1972]

Good job buddy you have functioning hearing

[@vlada]

It's a huge honour to watch these two.

[@bdcm1]

How great is this breakdown? I think few masters can explain their skills so well to the layman. And Bernardo is a beast whose enthusiasm is like that of a white belt who finally subs a high level blue belt. It's a thing of beauty.

[@ermac1499]

John is the master of processing knowledge and teaching, and you Bernardo, my friend, are ju jitsu's coolest guy. I would love to study in your class and just hang around with nice people😊

[@alexgeiser5924]

Attention to detail is one of the most important things a master does. My knowledge in grappling is very basic but I feel as if I'm watching a real master. I can only imagine the time it must've taken to discover all of this and how much trial and error. It was paid for in time (which is the most valuable thing we can spend), passion, and probably some pain. I just got this for free and without a rite of passage. I cannot help but to feel very grateful and will treat this knowledge with the utmost respect. The ones who take it for granted have never bled for their passion.

On 5:12 I would go for arm triangle, safer and easier. Anyway it was a great tip to reach there, thanks again John and Bernardo

[@matthewbetourney1476]

That is exactly what I was thinking. The main reason I keep rewatching this video is because the arm ratchet thing looks like the perfect way to setup an arm triangle, which I am much better at than arm bars :) I just hope that it doesn't make it easy for your opponent to roll you though, since you won't be able to post with the arm that is under their head. I think as long as they don't trap your foot on that side you could post your leg out though.

[@mexicanamerican8062]

Very very fine detail. Thank you so much for your time.
