[@philoalethia]

Huge honor for me to watch this video.

[@peacefuldecadence328]

It's a great instructional watching it right now lol

[@SS3213gsdf]

as always huge honor for me

[@thefinalsjv]

people might laugh at me and shit when i say i learn from youtube but they are the ones who are literally missing out on gems for free. thank you so much for this type of content. watching the best of the best is an honor. id read his grocery list if i could.

[@kelleyhq]

When Bernardo and John do videos together, i wear out the volume up and down buttons

[@JudoAndrew]

LOL.... so True!!

[@only1luv]

These guys are just awsome, John articulates his thoughts very awesomely.

[@badgoat666]

Such an eloquent, concise breakdown. John is a treasure.

[@eamonshields2754]

I never miss a John Danaher BJJ Fanatics video

[@alglasco4154]

As important as Johns teaching is on every video we can not hear him. I have to turn my phone/tv on blast to hear what he is saying. Can we please put a mic on him or something…

[@ACEOFTHEBLITZ]

It's literally free.

[@BallstinkBaron]

@@ACEOFTHEBLITZ its in about half the videos of danaher, he should just own one by now istg

[@hkazmi86]

100% agree. BJJ Fanatics, please invest in a simple Rode Wireless Go microphone or something

[@anthonyflowers7990]

I hear him fine on all the ones I've ever watched i think

[@dosage13]

headphones

[@nikolajovanovic1136]

Can we please put a microphone on John or anyone who's speaking? I'm sure everyone would greatly appreaciate it!

[@apekillssnake]

Interesting Dialogue- I regard C-Guard as a Reprieve!

[@Sui_Generis0]

This really must be a secret with how quietly Johns speaking

[@carlocorrales1572]

I gotta double the volume when he speaks lol

[@rstlr01]

As a white belt, this is the video I needed, not a fan of close guard, but done well it is such a powerful tool in the toolbox. So I will continue to work at it and get better.

[@terrynichol577]

You really need to fix the sound quality. Other than that great guests. Great instruction

[@oceanswithin]

Great to see how focused Bernardo looks, he doesn't just say it's an honor for him

[@colleenem9076]

The rubbing sounds on those mats 👌🏻❤️

[@ronaldmoore6619]

He’s an encyclopedia of grappling knowledge.

[@davidkingyogato1097]

Appreciate you sharing🙏

[@thomasarmstrong3917]

I love the systemic approach. No more hail mary armbars and triangles from bottom closed guard. Its too hard no gi. Break posture, advance position (clamp, top lock, side scizzor, double unders, etc), then sweep or submit.

[@Thenuma123]

Where do we get the full video's the website seems to be down every time I look?

[@hsx7576]

HYUGE HONOUR FOR ME i love u Bernardo u re so wholesome lol

[@mututuleao]

7:48 Every battle from close guard is a battle of posture.

[@warriorofgodfitness488]

I’m by far still a white belt but just got back into a bjj gym after 10 years away. My old training trained me to be more comfortable in closed guard. At that time I was about 150lb but I am 5’11” with long legs. Almost everyone I trained with outweighed me 75-150lbs. That said I’d be on bottom a lot and having that big of a size disadvantage I didn’t want them passing guard. Luckily I did have a couple teammates closer to my size but this built a very tight guard for me.

[@eugeniusbenediktusX]

how are most of your team mates 300 pounds? 😂😂

[@tapiorajala1599]

ok bjj class where everyone's around 225-300 lb, man that's one tough place for small guy :D

[@warriorofgodfitness488]

It was a small gym. We had a few people below 200 but the few that was always there were 200-300lb the near 300lb was only one guy. Also this was an mma gym not just bjj

[@TheDomLouis]

14:50 that also looks like the ideal position to lock in the clamp, control your opponent, then take it from there?

[@hhspector3006]

goat oss!

[@adapoy88]

This is the last? What happened to New Wave Takedowns?

[@matbroomfield]

I LOVE John's stuff, but at least $197 per course, with dozens of course - jeez, you have to be rich to train with him!

[@nally50]

Anyone know what Johns next series is going to be on?

[@claythelin4346]

Everyone talking about not being able to hear him lol Put in headphones bruh I got him turned down with my AirPods in rn

[@daniilvolosin1816]

Why is John spraking so quietly in beggining of the video 😂

[@jiujitsustudent604]

Because he’s telling your soul a lullaby

[@william7696]

one of the guys was just there for no reason lol

[@bolsbolbol368]

Can't hear him, closing this off but you technically got my view still.

[@tonymendestv]

How do we get outside the elbow without abs coach ? 🤣

[@prandz420]

You gonna need to develop some ab strength if you want to be any good at using your guard

[@MatthewinGooseneck]

Can't hear it

[@rodrigocepeda4053]

John has lost a lot of weight. Congrats!

"What!?"-Lil Jon

[@rickgraham7641]

When your closed guard gets broken? What's that?

[@KiwiFlavoredHate]

Open guard

[@jojosh6778]

When they open your legs so they are no longer closed around their waist

[@charlesr951]

That's what people call it when you open your guard to sweep them. Makes them feel better I guess.

[@alextenni5264]

Why Placido is so big?? Bodybuilding? 😉

[@rocker8692]

What did he say lol😂

[@t1974g]

John, please speak up and drive me crazy my volume doesn’t go any higher up

[@tylerdurden7918]

i hate when people dig their elbows in my legs to open my guard

[@Stefanhimself]

Machado has a video on this, hope it helps. Not sure why this is even taught it kind of sucks. kzbin.info/www/bejne/annTgqKGocisi5o

[@prandz420]

Just break their posture forwards and cut an angle

[@gqloc5987]

Softie! You will really hate it when someone throws a heavy elbow in your face in a real street fight. Stay in sport Jiu-Jitsu wimpo!

[@stellarmella9557]

is it me or that placido is getting more jacked by each video?

[@gqloc5987]

I can't stand his face for some reason. Find out if he will have a MMA fight with me.

[@zazampow9657]

Can’t hear Danaher.

[@johngrima2692]

I will not purchase John Danaher videos because I am concerned I will not be able to hear his instruction.

[@rollinOnCode]

placido is super jacked. must be on that gordon juice

[@JSMinstantcoaching]

But wrestlers stack, and move forward, what about that?

I have no trouble hearing him - maybe it's the accent that people are struggling with?
