[@beaubellamy2999]

How crazy is it that Dean Lister hit a random dude with a single line of dialogue that gave birth to the most dominant bjj team of all time?

[@FreekFreeksma]

Except John Danaher is, and was at that time, not just a random dude. He was the perfect trainer at the perfect moment in Jiu Jitsu history to say that to.

[@justinellison4117]

This is by far the best explanation on leg attacks. By an enormous margin. John is top notch.

[@Toddry]

The best that you've heard. Lol I'm kidding.

[@SnailHatan]

I mean, no shit. He’s explaining his own system. Of course it will be the best

[@hasanicoward4425]

@@SnailHatan true I used leg locks but love his science of performing them

[@zacharykahaly4665]

Lex always does a great job of eliciting these explanations as well.

[@reddnacpil4420]

imagine having a drink with your bouncer friend and he talks like john.

[@tjl4688]

Dean Lister's jiujitsu however comes through Relson Gracie and Fabio Santos. Relson as I understand was the black sheep of the family and enjoyed leg locks far more than the rest.

[@hwago123]

JD deserves a red belt.

[@IceBuckets305]

He’s not a founder.

[@Rednivrug]

Such a hypnotic voice😌

[@Ps3keks15]

Dana white in an alternate universe

[@danieljessop7140]

Wow thats a nasty insult to John.

[@djwalker6608]

I need this man to explain the birds and the bees to my kids

[@clayton97330]

I wonder how many times he would work the word "strangle" into that conversation.

[@CharlesAlexanderJr]

@4:15 genius editing.

[@aaronperelmuter8433]

How the fuck did you even notice that? And what was edited out? Please explain the genius you saw happen, I’m trying to find it but honestly don’t know what I’m looking for. Unless you’d seen the unedited version, I suppose it’s near on impossible to understand the genius or effectiveness of said edit… 🤔

[@CharlesAlexanderJr]

Too many questions for one post. If you train you'll figure it out. Thanks

[@ck3082]

@@CharlesAlexanderJrlol what a lame answer just tell em

[@CharlesAlexanderJr]

@@ck3082 I did.

[@markquinnmarine]

eh Oswaldo Fadda not mentioned?

[@leonardobonifacio7652]

Good stuff, but... no mention of Eddie Cummings' contribution, or Lachlan Giles' system?

[@sale401348]

Danaher sound like he is on low batery

[@Johnny.G.]

I can see danaher respects musashi's name. Wish I could see him discuss what he knows about musashi

[@mpaiaina1131]

Who knew the WWF was ahead of the game by 3 decades?

[@Bovice..YT-handles-are-fn-dumb]

The man that made me decide that my after work hobby wasn't worth the risk.

[@ericdoolin6808]

talking about jiu jitsu? theres a lot more higher risk activities than jiu jitsu lol..

[@Willifordwav]

@@ericdoolin6808 yeah like playing Russian roulette

[@ronaldinhogaucho5460]

Soft

[@cake8211]

Do it in gi then.

[@alexcardoso4487]

Thats a lie tha gracies told because they lost to Oswaldo fadda só they banned de leg locks.

[@dangrange4150]

I'm just learning...3 weeks into leg locks..straight into side into reverse into butterfly....#ashigurami

[@andreagrazianodibenedetto1464]

I started watching Danaher's Leg Lock System last week. It's a completely new world to me.

[@rafelgraciegraciee6313]

Gracie bjj - were bullies --

[@hasanicoward4425]

They weren't infective it was mostly because of injuries, But I love when he talked about Dean Lister using leg locks

[@tjl4688]

Yeah, Dean comes from the lineage that actually appreciated leg locks - through Relson Gracie and Fabio Santos

[@alexcardoso4487]

No Gracie banned because they lost to the "luta livre" guys. Hélio and his stutents lost to Oswaldo fadda. So they banned and told that was a dirty stile

[@robbiewalsh6965]

Lex next time.you have Michael malice on can you ask him his opinion on Chonsky and his view of Anarchism?

[@ronpaulrevered]

Do you have a guess as to what he would say or are you really unsure?

[@robbiewalsh6965]

@@ronpaulrevered I don't really know but I'm interested. I've seen some lectures by Chomsky on American Imperialism and the idea of the state acting as an oppressor from the be giving seems to bleed through. I think his view might match up? Maybe. As said I don't really know.

[@ronpaulrevered]

@@robbiewalsh6965 Chomsky is what's called an Anarcho syndicalist and they may reach a similar conclusion about government on paper, but in reality they come from completely opposite ends of the spectrum as Chomsky is a communist and Malice a capitalist. I would hope that Malice would pounce on this difference to show the fallacy of anarcho-communism is it's property designation mechanism that necessarily requires government hegemony; making it non anarchic and non- consensual.

[@erdngtn9942]

Cummings leg lock system. Not danaher

[@mattfavaloro350]

Messerschmitt 262 first fighter aircraft made by the Germans produced in very small quantities saw very little time in action

[@HkFinn83]

Lex totally missing the point with the non sequitur Elon Musk stuff
