Only a mouth-breathing casual would fall asleep to this. This man was hypnotic. When he was breaking down the components of Jiu Jitsu, I got chills down my spine. The dimensions of detail he fleshed out when he analyzed that Cyborg vs Gordon match broke my jaw open. He made Joe Rogan, a black belt & expert on the subject look like a kindergarten student.

[@OrcistCleaver]

Whackashit Thats not true. Hes got a rather boring voice and actually kind of did make me lose interest at times just because his voice is dull. Hes a genius at what he does and very knowledgeable on mma and jj but talking sure isnt his strong point.

[@tgrif5082]

😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂

[@thunderxgod01]

Ah, but leg locks ARE a part of the 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu system. The difference is that John Danaher is a 4th-Degree Black-Belt under Renzo Gracie, specilizes in training highly advanced students, and has developed his own system. Joe holds two bjj black-belts. One in traditional Gracie in-Gi BJJ under Jean Jacques Machado, and one in non-traditional 10th Planet no-gi BJJ under Eddie Bravo. Joe knows he can learn a tremendous lot from the man across the table, and if you noticed , John ribbed him a bit for being "one of those 10th Planet Black-belts".
