[@thegoru0106]

On the ground: position before submission; standing: control before takedown; striking: angles before strikes.

[@TheTMschannel]

Well usually you'll throw strikes to obtain an angle, so I feel like that one doesn't quite work. Also plenty of knockouts are not thrown from angles, but from playing on your opponents bad guard habits (e.g. not sweeping past your face when blocking a front kick to the body). Also standing grappling is more "posture before takedown" than "control before takedown"

[@kaliduncanel3356]

​@@TheTMschannel I'd agree with except for the fact the best grappler/wrestlers utilize boxing the most because the angles not only keep you out of the way of strikes as well as takedowns. As for obtaining a dominant angle of attack you can get it before, during, and after a combination. Neither option is more effective than the other. This lack of understanding in the striking range is the reason why people like Kron Gracie will never advance their BJJ over someone who understands positioning. People like Kevin Holland, Khabib, or Olivera, or Islam have to risk getting hit clean before they advance their grappling which is not recommended for everyone. The best pro grappling/anti grapplers are guys like Dominic Cruz, Mighty Mouse, Jon Jones, Frank Shamrock. All of those guys utilize dominant angle of attack to initiate offense and eliminate their opponents chance at a takedown.

[@kris3451]

All of them: advantage before attack.

[@luisdawnfinder3188]

@@TheTMschannel Maybe so but you should definitely being throwing feints first which almost count

[@MoneyballUSA]

Very well said. I’d like to hear John’s perspective on angles before strikes, and particularly on the importance of footwork vs handwork to create angles.

[@alanhaine644]

The focus on Bernardo's face as John is talking, Bernardo's willingness to learn and passion for BJJ is top class.

Good video. Love the stand up game more than anything else.

[@yew2oob954]

Summary: Inside position with hands. Head position, limit exposure of back of head. Drive with the legs, stay off your knees.

[@rhmotes]

Prioritize collar tie and use it to control opponent's posture and foot position.

[@kovenmaitreya7184]

Insaaaane! I knew Danaher and crew would come up with some great systems and insightful understandings on standing grappling despite the extreme length of time wrestling and other stand up arts have existed,, but the explanations and concepts are still explained with such clarity that it blows my mind. I really wish I could train under them. At this point, I kinda consider Danaher's black belt as another tier altogther. I'd probably ask if I could start over at white belt if I ever got a chance to train at their school, haha!

[@BarryComerford]

The timing of this, I was literally looking for a video on this topic!

[@nia7558]

I remember when danaher laughed at placido for being the smallest guy he trains and demonstrates with. I see he’s taken that to heart.

[@PhysiKarlz]

Fastest way: go to a proper place to learn standing: wrestling, judo, sambo. Learn from and against proficient standing grapplers.

[@rodiermadiande249]

The detail I will add is to learn efficient parts of these arts in a grappling context where submissions hold and chokeholds are allowed.

difference between the fastest way to become effective in the standing position & feet 2 floor

[@CaptChilly]

feet 2 floor is gi focused and fastest way is nogi. Also fastest way is focused on an easy to learn and concise system, feet 2 floor is more of an encyclopedic deep dive

[@zartic4life]

As long as the rules don't change stand up will never become significant in BJJ you get what two points maybe? There's no reward for effort. Same thing with Judo's strict time limit on the ground. The rules dictate how the art moves forward.

[@docsnider8926]

As much as I appreciate Danahers ground work, this is not really good. Not attacking the center of gravity, no connection! only pushing around. With advance stand up fight, you naturally come up with no-gi judo techniques or free-style wrestling.

[@raymondaloni2309]

Jiu jitsu is becoming catch wrestling 2.O with the introduction of Judo and Guard. Awesome.

Nah as long as the rules stay the same. If they gave Judo 1 minute time limit on the ground it would start looking like BJJ. The rules dictate.

Don't waste your time on BJJ. If you want to actually be good at stand-up, learn an effective martial art like Judo, Sambo, wrestling, etc.

[@blumpkinspicelatte4580]

So now John Danaher is a takedown specialist? Gimme a break. He can't even run the pipe right. Head position is wrong, he didn't even touch on shoulder pressure on the leg and his feet weren't even in the right position. Leave the takedowns to wrestlers who know what they are doing John.

Well. One can say that his students are really good at throwing in the BJJ ruleset

[@MegaHitman666]

As long as John Danaher looks into jiujitsu as combat sport not martial art he won' t be able to find effective stand up techniques neither be able to improve classic jiujitsu techniques as Renzo did about many subs and positions . Look at his standup suggestioms , Ositions , etc.. he misses the point completely , no stance , no adequate postures , no connection , everything in his teaching is wrong . O

[@quasar4601]

Bjj is good to know but striking is far more important in self defense.

[@KaninTuzi]

Based on what?

[@dimitardobrev3296]

Depends on the situation. There are no silver bullets.

[@kris3451]

Jocko already gave a good summary of why grappling is more important for self-defence. In almost every striking scenario, you have the option to run. You can choose to disengage if needed. Being a good striker will help you with that, but isn't exactly required. BUT once someone grabs you, you can't just choose to disengage when you need to. You need grappling skill in order to keep that choice open.
