THE ADCC INTERVIEW with John Danaher

Watch ADCC Live: bit.ly/2019ADCCWorlds | Some call him mysterious, some call him a genius but just about everyone can agree that John Danaher knows his jiu-jitsu. If not by the athletes he's coached then by the way his approach to grappling has transformed the sport, the Renzo Gracie black belt's influence is undeniable.
In this hour long interview Reid sat down with John to talk about his approach to training for ADCC, the future of leglocks, Galvao vs Pena, advice for Ben Askren and so much more!

@@t-bone7988 i think flo would make more money just off marketing and advertising because its anooying as hell to get clickbaited all over the internet for 12.99

[@Disidnte]

I agree, Nick Rod's quote is great, hilarious! "I don't remember too much about that arm trap stuff, but I know one thing: if I can lock my hands anywhere below your eyebrows, I'm gonna strangle you unconscious."

[@steverotella5395]

He jinxed Gordon in this. He said you can get food poisoning 2 days before the event, then he got it 1 day before.

[@adrianarroyo937]

Indeed. He also says you may break your thumb. And Gordon had his whole hand crushed

[@AbuDurum]

John. A systematic wrestling/takedown instructional and a grappleboxing/positional control specifically for MMA would be really cool.

I think this was originally recorded in July. I remember seeing at least part of this before. like others have said, Gordon is now going to compete, Nicky is back down to 66, and Garry tonon is taking the 77 slot.

I don't see why they let anyone but Reid do interviews. He is hands down the most fluid and actually asks poignant questions. The others at flograppling leave a lot to be desired however.

[@stevena8719]

Btw even if Nicky doesn’t get HYUGE, if he respects the principles of strength training he can easily get stronger than the big guys. Most of the BJJ guys aren’t even squatting 405 for reps and that is very easily achievable to someone with even poor genetics.

[@scarred10]

Squatting that much wont transfer to grappling, its irrelevant

[@antufcti]

He should stop working with Danaher and get a strength and conditioning coach to prepare for this upcoming ADCC

[@stevena8719]

Jcream101 I may be biased because I came from lifting to BJJ, but I honestly have no trouble maintaining a 405+ squat just through programming really flexibly.

Neither does boxing. I don't think striking allows world championship tournaments. When the match between two top strikers ends, they are done. They can't get in the ring again for a whole match until they heal. Lots of damage. Probably even concussion. Not smart to do that

[@zyphos9444]

@@adrianarroyo937 Kickboxing has had tournaments in both K1 and Glory. Also, Muay Thai guys have hundreds of fights over the course of their careers so it wouldn't be a huge stretch for some sort of Muay Thai tournament.

@@zyphos9444 I get what you're saying, but probably should be done over a month timespan, or something like that. I thinkore than a fight per week would be too much. 3 or 4 fights in a single night has been done, as you say, but I think they don't do it anymore. I guess it's too dangerous
