Danaher always teaching, even in a documentary. What a beautiful human being.♥️

[@RetiredTop43]

He's a genius!

[@patrickmcinerney9491]

"he thought of himself as just another guy in the room." Hit me in the gut. I'm sure a lot of us feel like that.

[@thomashanham723]

As someone who's a casual when it comes to the pro jiu-jitsu circuit I'd never heard of him until ADCC. What an evolution! Also love the documentary, great sound, visuals, storytelling, great job!

[@marcusapodaca2069]

he has a really good youtube giancarlo def check it out great techniques

[@patrickmcinerney9491]

If you're a casual fan, I'm sure you've probably heard of Craig Jones, but if not, check him out. He's hilarious and one of the best

[@levishepard3696]

I had the pleasure of training with him when he was a brown belt after he won ibjjf worlds in the gi. I could tell even then, like "this guy is a little different". He just had an aura of something special.

[@zBryRobinson]

G’carlo knee torn to shreds Gordon commentating - “nice inverted heel hook 😂😂😂😂😂

[@newbraveworld9733]

Great documentary. The lesson here: anyone can completely reinvent themselves in a relatively short period of time. Thank you, Giancarlo for the inspiration.

[@counterhit121]

If Lachlan was the breakout star of 2019, Giancarlo was definitely it this last go around. With Gordon making gigantic waves at ADCC, I think Giancarlo's incredible performance kind of gets overlooked. Great work by Flo in shining the spotlight on Giancarlo and I look forward to all the great things he'll do in the future.

[@matheuslucarevschi4518]

Giancarlo is a gem, happy to see him get his recognition ❤

[@SF_Native]

The smile after he got that foot lock was awesome. Really great example that even when you're a high-level black belt, you can still learn so much more and get even better.

[@anonymousreviewer169]

The current belt system is antiquated at best, and completely irrelevant at worst.

[@Spiritof_76]

@@anonymousreviewer169 How do you propose to improve it?

[@dcn92123]

​@@Spiritof_76Don't use belts. Like every other sport

[@Spiritof_76]

@@dcn92123 I would be fine with that, but (almost) no one wants to compete at a tournament where former black belts commit violence on a bunch of newbies because they weigh the same or are the same age. Do you also propose that karate, tkd, judo, and bjj use velcro or buttons to keep the gi top closed, or go sambo style and color coordinate?

[@Deepgoat]

​@@Spiritof_76 I think the belts are necessary, any form of identification will be manipulated by coaches who want to show off their blue belt who is clearly black belt level. There are teens who are better than most black belts will ever be. Most realistic people know the belts aren't a real indicator of anything other than time and dedication.

[@Theheroherculeast]

what a testament to this mans determination and also Danahers coaching

[@Sir-Complains-a-Lot]

"peoples perception of reality can severly impacted by prior beliefs" just a nice post modernist inside from a world class coach.

[@TaintedNate]

I trained with Giancarlo for a very short time in Toledo at Dante’s gym. Probably one of the nicest guys in the BJJ community. I’ll never forget how nice he was to me. So happy to see his success.

[@mylesshao]

Glad they're doing the interview at Danaher's place. Inside the Death Star.

[@Actionable_wisdom]

One of the best ones produced by Flo. Thank you

[@pninnan]

I think this guy reffed some of my blue belt matches a while back. So sorry you had to stand there and watch that

[@peekaboojujitsoo525]

Craig Jones vs Giancarlo Bodoni at 88kg. Thats the match we want to see, make it happen Flo.

[@pninnan]

The change in physicality and overall body composition is pretty drastic too

[@robinradema1]

GSP still so humble! Truly amazing.

[@dna8269]

Full length documentary lets gooooo

[@HUMANAI3]

Super Clean run through a tough division mad props

[@joepeezly]

This story is another example of how high the ceiling is and what kind of changes are possible when you’re focused. Insane story. And getting to hear Danaher expound and really peel apart the driving factors and the truth behind the scenes is so great. It’s a always eye-opening.

[@mitcHELLOworld]

Holy shit this documentary was incredible. Way to frigging go flo. Damn. I’m kinda blown away.

[@edwardweeks2229]

Giancarlo is a DAWG. Lucky to have him as an instructor here in Austin. God bless Texas

[@tjgadner8896]

How does that work, does he have multiple gyms or do you train at new wave?

[@jerkov420]

As much as John Danaher is a technical genius, he is also a psychological one.

[@doblealfabrazilianjiujitsu7365]

Simplemente bravo.

[@HalfGuardMedia]

Amazing doc work, shout out to whoever filmed and edited this piece

[@Baron_Kigume]

The Best Documentary Yet!

[@williamboix8510]

ok, to be honest. i watch in full, and this guy has a new fan, that fan is me.

[@fhwang1]

Awesome so far. Can’t wait to finish. Strong work flo!

[@albiebhoy3870]

Wish flo pumped more of these out. Love these 🤌🏼

[@mahamedhersi7308]

What a documentary!

[@sistematico17]

These documentaries are amazing! Very well produced and entertaining

[@petrosplatis7791]

Wow. So well done. Inspirational and a showcase of just one of the dramatic stories from ADCC 2022. Can we also get some love for Darth Danaher?

[@njwizard]

about TIME!!! sick shit flo

[@Lijah2good4u]

New wave is no joke, Gordon, Nick, Luke and now Giancarlo. Nice 🤙🏽

[@miked2802]

The next generation is rising up...watch out world.

[@backattackjack3857]

Quality of this documentary is unreal, 11/10

[@Emily-jx8em]

Great story of overcoming adversity that we so often see in Jiu Jitsu- inspired as ever!

[@MichaelSaunier]

This is an amazing documentary and so well filmed and produced. You guys knocked it out of the park! You don’t even need to be into grappling to find a compelling watch here 👏

[@MouhcineAlMansouri]

Excellent documentary! Well done guys !!

[@ManojHegdePuttur]

Goosebumps when you listen to John Danaher

[@chrisp6829]

This what a sick piece of content, well done

[@tmjjoficial]

so awesome ossssss

[@TheRealEricRose]

I love his style! Been a fan since the 1st match at ADCC!

[@theholyroller7657]

I was absolutely inspired by his story. It actually made me believe I can grow even more than I thought . Bravo sir

[@anonymousreviewer169]

Now don't get too excited there buddy. For every Bodoni that gets gold, there are thousands that languish in sub-poverty levels pursuing the same thing. Just kidding. Have fun.

[@theholyroller7657]

@@anonymousreviewer169 absolutely

[@aplus1080]

This is such a genius topic to have a documentary on. I'm not sure who came up with it, but f'ing kudos! Using Giancarlo as a case study was also smart. Dope integration of biography, bjj biography, and team biography. Very well done.

[@TheMartialWay]

That was amazing! Giancarlo is such a great guy, and flo is upping the game! Well done.

[@positivetradingofficial500]

Flograppling is a blessing 🙏

[@Hazama91350]

His physique has changed through the years

[@joeschmoe6908]

He's obviously on the juice, but so is everyone else at that level. It does make his recent rise to the top a bit less incredible.

[@Hazama91350]

​@@joeschmoe6908 right on the spot man

[@raf889]

If everyone is on juice, juice doesn’t make his rise to the top less incredible.

[@BrunoCoelho]

Amazing quality on this documentary and what a story! Hard work and perfect practice are a dangerous combination. John's teaching methods are proven to work.

[@weisey100]

Amazing evolution and great production! I also always love to see John Danaher and his analytical approach to everything.

[@plutonium120]

flo grappling consistently putting out top content keep up the great work

[@anthonyhahn1523]

Guys! Fantastic job on the documentary, really upped your game!

[@josephbreza-grappling9459]

Fantastic documentary! I didn’t know that leg locks were his weakness. He certainly went to the right place to learn how to defend them and that helped get him to the finals. I look forward to seeing this man’s progression over the years. Great job Flo

[@Vintagegijoefreak]

What a fantastic story!! And what a fantastic guy! So humble and down to earth, we need more of those guys in jiujitsu. All I knew before about him was that he was always the guy getting smashed in Danahers half guard videos lol. Wish him all the best! A true champion! And as always, Danaher is the true god of this sport..

[@crossashigarami1450]

It looks like he's absorbed 'all' aspects of the new wave/death squad philosophy.

[@deejay22369]

HE was skronny and getting beat, then hes HUGE and winning, i like it :-)

[@TeeBoxTobies]

That monologue at the end from JD was sick

[@danieldiaz9948]

Awesome video. Excellent production value. It’s amazing how far the sport has come. Would love to see No Gi 1v1 and No Gi Quintet 5v5 become Olympic events How cool would it be to see the Ruotolo brothers + New Wave guys on the same team matching up against Craig Jones + Lachlan Giles + other aussies or against Mica Galvao, Hulk, Dinizh etc on the Brazilian squad

[@denisbejtja9937]

I got chills toward the end by listening to Danaher speaking about that psychology topic
