Real talk

You make some good points but in my experience higher belts won't just smash lower belts but will give them some space to work. Where as when white belts face off against each other, it's most often a battle to the death. I also think that getting smashed is really valuable because it forces you to face up to bad habits (e.g letting other people grab your head, pushing off rather than framing). It also starts the process of acclimatizing to not having inside control and having to fight for frames and underhooks. I mean Danaher's position is precisely that you need a good defence to be fully comfortable going on offence. And elite BJJ athletes often start from the worst positions possible (almost fully locked in submissions) to develop their escape skills to the fullest. Edit: I think the driving analogy is quite interesting because while learning how to drive does involve theoretical knowledge imparted by the instructor, I think most of it consists of attempting to perform an increasingly complex set of actions at the same time, while responding to what is happening around you. And then learning from the mistakes you inevitably make. On my second lesson I was already driving on the roads, despite having merely 2 hours of prior experience. So I think learning to drive does have the element of learning through trial and error under significant sensory pressure that we see in BJJ. But you're right that there is much more of set learning process than in BJJ, since there is a fixed order in which elements must be learned. In BJJ every athlete develops in their own way and forms their own method of attacking and defending. In an ideal world every BJJ practitioner would be given a set of systems that suit their body type and mentality, but with only one instructor I don't think that is possible. A good compromise might be to focus on a core set of principles/objectives (eg. defending pressure passing, defending outside passing), and then intensively train them in a systematic way. Rather than just showing off random techniques and hoping the student puts them together into a coherent gameplan.

I totally agree! Let me clarify that I wasn’t talking about Danaher in this video. I think Miles says “thanks danaher” because it’s led to a bunch of imitators trying to pretend and sound like they’re as smart as he is. In terms of your experience with learning. Your 100% right. Unfortunately, most people get black belts and assume that because they know how to Jiu Jitsu, they know how to teach it. And unfortunately they’re completely separate skills! I appreciate your thoughtful comment!

@@williambarton5681 thanks for the really well-thought out comment!

@@PostRolls Thanks for the comment, I totally agree about the teaching aspect!

Yes totally, unfortunately many of us just love bjj and will stick out the madness just to keep doing it. Have you heard of the ecological method what are your thoughts

Yeah I think the argument Danaher makes is that it doesn’t work against high level competition. You don’t really see it done. But I know I’ve seen danaher teach it as a set up. Like attacking the Americana so the bottom person defends and use that to take the back or arm bar the opposite arm.

That’s awesome. Sounds like a great experience

Follow up question for you since you brought up “high percentage moves”. Where are these percentages? Where do you go to find out what moves fall in that category?
