I once dated a girl who told me Tom Hardy paid for her and her friends kebabs after a night out, he wasn't trying to bang them, was just helping out some broke students - I concur with Mr Danaher, he is indeed a genuinely nice guy

[@WaldoIsLegit]

The real question is, did he get to bang them anyway??

[@SevenHunnid]

I love to do food videos while smoking weed on my KZbin channel, to cure people’s boredom 😅

[@davidmckayii752]

He definitely gets karma

[@Dev-In-Denver123]

I was once the brother of a girl who dated one of Adam Sandler's best friends Dante, he's in all of Sandler's movies. They dated for about a year here in Denver where Dante has some businesses (weed). He was definitely trying to bang her.

I wish Tom Hardy would re-focus on the best TV series he was in about 4 or 5 years ago. It's called *Taboo* . It should be at least three or four seasons long, but they stopped after season one.

So underrated.

[@nuce79]

A shame. Great show. Was very much looking forward to more seasons. Rock n Rolla sequel, Sherlock Holmes trilogy to.

[@j.bernard752]

Danaher's words brought tears to my eyes. Going from operating and maintaining military skills found at the highest levels of special operations to suddenly being immersed in a world of civilians losing their cool over decaf or parking spaces has not been easy. First-world slight inconveniences are a joke and despite public opinion they barely build character. Adversely, a man who's lost his brothers to war and suicide, had the battlefield calcify his brain and emotions, cost him his family and friends, but still awakens each day striving to be better than he was the day prior, that's character, that's a warrior, that's a gentleman.

[@juniorballs6025]

So true mate, so true

[@theoneanton]

Not brave enough to be in the military, but having worked as frontline medical in the recent bad events, that particular description of things by John really resonated with me, as there were many parallels particularly with the intolerance of 'first-world problems of civvie life' I found I had developed.

[@brunosoaresrodrigues8957]

I feel you. I've put it all on the line for 5 years and now find so hard to care about cleaning tables, windows and washing floors. Unfortunately, the skills and experience I've acquired have no use in the real world. But is it the real world?

[@mannyv.2769]

42 year old Army infantry Veteran here; been thinking of getting back into BJJ for over a year, but old Army shoulder injuries have my entire body feeling weak. This video is definitely motivating me to get back into it, especially with Hardy's post.

[@JimJamRazzMaTaz]

Danaher clearly disappointed when he realises the predator show is about animals and not men who murder prostitutes

[@Johnnyfreitas1]

John’s perspective is always nice to hear, I’m glad we’ve got such an individual in our world 🌎 he’s one of a kind.

[@RonALampman]

Tom's statement was great and true. BJJ has saved my life. Not in the sense of using it in a pure self defense way, but absolutely kept me from going down a dark path. I suffer from PTSD, and after all the crazy stuff I've been through, mine stems from one bad jump where I had a parachute malfunction. Got KOed, broke C2 - C5 vertebrae in my neck, and L3 and L5 in my lower back. Before I started, nearly 6 years ago, my body hurt all over from an out of shape 240+ body, and I had migraines quite often. Enough for anyone to want to cash in their chips. BJJ gave me the endorphins and joy just doing it and I got down to around 178 at one point. I now am at a very healthy 190 - 195.

[@RobertoAndAPiano]

Back in 2019 I was a newbie in a BJJ class waiting for a partner to warm up with when I heard someone call me from behind and say “I’ll warm up with you, Rob”. Unsure how we knew my name but he’s super genuine and was always down for a chat, really good guy

[@ritchiecare5775]

Fantastic listen this is. The fact that Tom Hardy takes his time to show a deep honesty behind jiu jitsu, what it has to offer is purely more than a martial art. It’s a lifestyle, a positive metal attitude. I’m happy to see the effort Tom Hardy has put in to raise the awareness for the veterans within the Re-org brand, and a massive shout out to Tatami Fightwear for standing by Tom for all these years, they’re a credit to the sport!

[@nursegilbey]

Glad to hear Agent 47 will give Wolverine a phone call after this interview.

[@micheandmikey]

I trained Choy Li Fut & Hung Gar for 16 years and I know what the comradery John is speaking of. When my sifu moved away and I stopped training to raise a family, I'd have dreams of sifu asking why I wasn't in class. These people become family, or even deeper because it's not you sibling making fun of what you're enjoying, you're sharing similarities with each other and growing as one. Regardless of what martial art you're learning or have opinions on which one is better than the other, the family connection is there for everyone (if taken seriously). This is a great clip Lex, thanks.

[@darraghkelly1744]

I’ve tried talking to him and have even beat him into submission a few times since then, but what do ye do!!

[@Jepetto21]

One of the things he was close to hitting on also about leaving the military is the loss of the team. Joining a great school can bring back the sense of team that many of us miss.

[@onemaddad3823]

I’ve never seen someone so thoughtful and tactical in expressing his thoughts. He doesn’t just spew things out of his mouth. Everything he says, he’s thought about, and chooses the perfect words to use. Very rare.

[@briocrow1411]

I had a minor degree of this experience with my own military training. Although I did not see combat, I was involved in a branch that did some search and rescue. But I had a plan to go into the reserves while I was still in school and then be able to transfer after as a petty officer. My thought was that I was struggling in school and going through boot camp and some training would ingrain tye "discipline" which I apparently, I thought, needed. However, the experience had the opposite effect. After going through boot camp and some additional training, when I returned to school I found that the social environment was so petty and ridiculous that I was even more alienated than before. At least among adults, they may have some analogous experience - some amount of hardship and bonding which at least allows them to understand by analogy how these things form. But most people at my age at that time, at least who would disclose, I had no idea about those kinds of experiences. I assume that there were probably some kids who had had exceedingly hard childhoods who might have understood, although they might have been missing the bonding and resilience part. In any case, the step I took to try to keep me in school actually wound up encouraging me to leave sooner. But it is true that it's an experience you can't duplicate and also that others cannot understand unless they have something really comparable in terms of brain wiring. I think it also shows us what Fight Club showed us - when you think you are engaging someone in conflict whom you have assessed by some superficial physicality, that is a bad decision. You never know what somebody has been through, what skills they have, even just what rage they are managing. It's a bad idea to assume that someone is coming from the same social perspective as you and therefore you can anticipate the response to your aggression. Just don't do it.

I love John, however he underestimates the loves of "normal" people. How can a soldier who saw his friends leg blown off talk to a normal person? Well I once dated a girl who had a car crash and watched her mother father sister and brother die in a gruesome way. I would say that there is not one soldier in the history of war to have seen or gone through anything even close to as bad. Friends are not parents or little brothers and sisters. Trust me, normal people can have tragic lives way worse than soldiers. Most soldiers give through very little. Some have it rough yeah, special forces are more likely to have seen some stuff. But none have seen what this particular girl has or other unfortunate people have gone through.
