The Easiest Jiu Jitsu No Gi Takedowns by John Danaher

[@daithi1966]

I really like this concept from just a self-defense standpoint. The vast majority of people do not have any self-defense training and practicing these setups gets you into a safe and dominate position almost immediately.

[@downtownjb100]

Placido is the GOAT

[@daveg2545]

He is America’s Uke

[@MrRitmu]

@@daveg2545 Uke of all ukes.

[@Jackthestripper]

I love how the worlds most famous ukes name sounds like the word ‘placid’

[@eamonshields2754]

Love Danahers emphasis on takedowns becoming so much easier when you reach the back.

[@Dantto92]

Not huge honor to have Placido??

[@fromsamuraitoscience7184]

Just a normal honor 🤣

I picked up on that too

[@olegwiththeknowledge1729]

Placido is a student of Bernardo, they meet all the time. John is a guest riding from Austin to (I believe Boston) to record these videos. The difference between a regular and a guest😊

I recently started Jiu Jitsu after doing wrestling back in high school. First thing I noticed was, first off, how much less my own wrestling skill was to what I thought it was. But also, just how much more dangerous and risky it was to go for bread and butter techniques like double leg or single. Definentily agree though that in many scramble positions, I find that I have an edge on my training partners, and can end up in a better position/finish the takedown or sweep. After watching this, I really want to change my standup strategy to that of prioritizing arm drags, russian arm tie, and fighting for the underhook, and avoid shooting and going for doubles except in highly advantageous positions. Talking about how the slight and major changes in ruleset really effects the outcome and success of takedowns is very good to hear. If I want to focus on the past and actually become a high level wrestler, I should go to a proper wrestling gym or club. But now that I'm doing Jiu Jitsu, its time to move on, use the wrestling skills as a base, and not focus too much on trying to do the same things I did in the past.

Ready for Placido to drop his instructional 👑

[@luismaldonado3618]

Just was I was looking for. You are the best🎉

[@RAPEDBYBLACKS]

Agree that the best takedowns are clinches and trips. Fedor emal never used a double leg to take guys down and his takedowns were the best in mma

[@thunderthumbz3293]

Nearly all of his takedowns were foiled by hard strikes. He didn't just go straight into clinches and trips.

[@fastlanenigeria]

I so needed this!

[@dannyboy536]

26:55 George St Pierre had always devoted a part of his training to wrestling. He had a dedicated wrestling coach, Victor Zilberman. John Danaher here is just perpetuating the myth of Jiu Jitsu, created by the Gracie's marketing plan. Brazilians always added techniques to their Jiu Jitsu from wrestling. Most of the no-gi strangles and leg attacks came from the "Luta Livre" school of wrestling. Even the 'Americana' takes it's name because it was learnt from visiting American catch wrestlers.

[@Dawood4]

Using wrestling techniques in Jiu Jitsu, doesn't make it not Jiu Jitsu. He said GSP never competed in wrestling specifically. He literally addresses this at 30:12

[@Kwisatz-Chaderach]

​@Dawood4 In the Lex Friedman Podcast John says GSP did French style wrestling which is different from American freestyle.

[@mrannymus]

A wrestler with a blue belt in BJJ is better than an ADCC world champion with basic takedowns.

[@brandonchasingwind]

"John Danaher, Huge honor for me"... "Placido, Meh"

[@jeremyyap1714]

Please please please upgrade your audio setup, Bernardo. I can only hear what John's saying after maxing the volume.

[@anon2034]

8:52 gently pulling Uke with right arm whlie posting left arm on his shoulder is a good way for an entry for Double/Single leg Takedowns.

[@andrewgrignon826]

Great video guys! Love the NOGI content. What's the best way to finish in the back position? Rear naked choke? I'm only 2 weeks into JJ training but I do have wrestling background from highschool

[@comfycouchmma]

Yes rear naked or also short choke if you cant lock ur rear naked up. Eventually at black belt you will just lock a rear naked on their chin and squeeze. Eventually armbar from back or triangle from back mount will be good.

[@sesimie]

Simple, effective, High percentage chance of success. John Danaher knows how to teach!

[@alexcardoso4487]

He basically explained the end of Gordon's fight with Andre Galvão. Between defending the leg or sweeping, he turned his back and got up, took the takedown and was submitted

[@jimster805]

can someone tell what moves danaher shows in the vid?

[@comfycouchmma]

Dang just had 30 matches and got the first takedown in every match. Double legs straight up.

[@mmongiello722]

Something tells me you dont practice it from your knees.

[@hwago123]

Anyone know what those shin and knee compression guards are called?

[@bryancjacobs]

I find I use less energy maintaining mount. Why is rear mount better than mount?

[@db2360]

Easier to escape and less threat of submission

[@jamesvillamor1842]

Rear mount statistically has the highest submission rate.

[@ericr2617]

Sound like you have poor back control

[@JehuMartin]

Very similar concepts to Craig Douglas’ Extreme Close Quarters Concepts

[@m.allenpettis713]

Sounds like wrestling. Looks like wrestling. THIS IS WRESTLING BEING TAUGHT. Position is always primary. CACC. FS/Greco/Flks Wrestling. BJJ. Judo. Sambo. Grappling is Grappling. It is all the same, people. Different day, different rule set. Last thing. No wrestler has ever said, "I wish I had done (put your art here) before wrestling. It is true. Everyone knows it.

[@tonytaf107]

Legion Grapplinh Academy in London, UK, has made a fantastic fusion between Freestyle, Olympic wrestling, Grappling and BJJ. The most underrated active gym by the way.

[@conorfiggs234]

[@biltontruth]

I imagine he introduces his wife in the say way. "This is my wife huge honor for me."

[@letstalkcaliber704]

I really disagree here. I've never had a hard time holding someone down after a double leg and last time I checked a takedown is worth 2 points. Furthermore many tournaments give advantages for close takedowns. You can easily sit to guard from a bad double leg so its not a huge deal if the fail. Many times if you shoot a second time you can get a finish because guys often wait too long after theyve sprawled. Arm drags and trips are cool but theyre hard to get right. when I really need to put someone on there ass I turn it up mix in a lot of fakes and finish with a deep double or single. If I get put in turtle I have many reversals from there and even a few submissions. Everyone in competition always gives the back now just to avoid the points. I win a large number of competitions just because I can put asses on the mat with basic wrestling. I can't speak to the clames gordon goes toe to toe with elite wrestlers under adcc rule sets but I do know Bo Nickle put gordon on his ass several times when they grappled.

[@alexcardoso4487]

Did you know the rules of that fight? Gòrdan couldn't attack hell hook or pull guard...If your opponent is not afraid of your best weapons, the game is much more difficult.Bo would think long and hard before going into a takedown knowing it could be finished immediately.

[@stevena8719]

Cant wait to see your instructional that solves this problem that every single top grappler in the world struggles with. Looking forward to it!

[@letstalkcaliber704]

@@alexcardoso4487 those rules had no effect on how bo took Gordon down. They were there to keep gordon on his feet to make the take downs matter. Gordon could have sprawled on Bo and done the things John talked about but none of that mattered and he got his ass sat down.

[@letstalkcaliber704]

@@stevena8719 dude its pretty hard to get up when someone has a body lock on you and if someone has a deep double than they can get the body lock. B comes after A. Do you eve. realize how much John makes from his instructionals? Did you ever stop to think "do I really need this?" You're watching an advertisement. John didn't show much but was just trying to tell you you need this new thing. What I'm saying is the art of putting someone on their ass and holding them there was perfected a long time ago and it's called wrestling. Rules sets and submissions aside wrestlers do extremely well in nogi because they force gaurd pulls and can avoid submissions with posture and base. I gave you a real world example where bo sat Gordon down several time even though Gordon was a bigger man. Gordon could have spawled and submitted him as john said was a problem only we saw in the real world the gordon couldnt. Nicky rod and j rod are just decent wrestlers and they've accomplished huge things in bjj in a short time. BJJ pays almost nothing so most wreslers stay in wresling or go to mma. Have fun being a follower and letting John think for you.

@@041882 Learning wrestling from a BJJ guy is one of da most retarded things to do. Danaher puts out quite a few instructionals he has no business putting out. its fine to show a couple of modified wrestling situations for BJJ and some ADCC rule stuff but otherwise theres plenty of amazing wrestlers to learn from outside this
