- Today I sit down with my mentor and instructor the legendary John Danaher. John is one of the most respected Jiu-Jitsu and MMA coaches in the World.
John and I haven't had a chance to sit down together since the shutdowns. So happy to have this opportunity! I hope you all enjoy!
"If you don't develop an advanced level of stability, you can kiss your wheels goodbye." Firas Zahabi
Coach Zahabi has seen more broken knees then any other coach alive today, MMA/BJJ is brutal, no other sport can compare! In fear of seeing his own knees break someday Coach Zahabi spent years working with the top experts from around the world on how to prevent and rehabilitate injuries. Over the years he develop the Strong and Stable 4 Life program.
This is the World's Number 1 stability training program.

"Simply put, we need to develop advanced stability, most trainers however will only take you to the most basic level of stability training, that's all they know, that's all they can do, with knowledge of the correct progressions anyone can develop world class stability" Firas Zahabi
This program is designed for athletes of every kind and should be mandatory for all life‑long athletes. You need this video to ensure you good health. This is must have content!
As always, Coach Zahabi gets directly to the point. The video begins with a few key concepts about alignment to keep you fit and healthy for life. Coach then moves on to foundational exercises that will help you build STRENGTH, STABILITY, POWER, MOBILITY and DURABILITY in the lower body and help you protect your knees for life. All these components are needed for strong and stable knees.
Most athletes injure themselves with poor form, tight muscles, poor alignment and poor choice of exercise. Coach addresses all these issues in the first 45min of the program.

Part 2
Once the basics are covered in Part 1, Coach Zahabi goes into the Knees in Depth portion of the video. In this portion Coach will teach you what you need to know to build strong healthy knees for life. Reserve this portion of the video for when it’s most convenient. Here, Coach goes into many deep concepts such as:
Why alignment is paramount
Why tight muscles are dangerous
Why stability training is king
Would you build a house of cards on a wobbly table?
Why you need an Iron Base
Why we never do stability training before live training
Why we need strength
Why we need power: "Train like a Ferrari not like a tow truck"
Why we need low impact plyometrics
Why we need endurance
Why we keep our knees from going over our toes
Would you do a barbell squat with a rounded back?
Exceptions to the rule
Consistency over intensity (how many reps and sets?)
Why excessive soreness is the enemy
Working out for time
The pain rule (when it's ok to work through pain and when to stop)
When to wear knee pads
Coach’s own personal knee injuries
What he has observed from training professionals for over 20 years

I'll never forget when Danaher went on JRE & said he has a "dinner rashguard" lmao
He wore a rash guard to his friend's wedding too XD
@@UnexplainedHoveringSpheroid I think Matt Serra's wedding. I could be wrong though.
🤣🤣🤣
Actually it was Gordon Ryan that appeared on a later episode and said that about him.
@@pemborsky my bad
When Jon leaned into the camera: "When you can control time and pressure you are going to win this game of jujitsu" .... bruh my whole perspective on life changed
Firas, please do another session with John Danaher!
Jon is an absolute wizard in BJJ. I've never trained under anyone that is as smart and hard working and dedicated to the sport.
Does that mean u have trained w him
@@yakub0118 no he's just saying he's never trained with anyone 😂
Liking yes
Coach Firas...THIS was a fantastic interview. You asked ALL the right questions. THIS is one of the best jiu jitsu interviews in recent history.
This and the Fridman ones with John and then the one with John, GSP and Gordon are really impactful imo
I didn’t want to learn Jiujitsu to get an advantage by getting to half guard! - JD thinking in a different spectrum, whilst also understanding the crucial aspects for the average viewer/participant. Such a rare combination. These two are Gold. Grateful from across the pond! ✊🏼
Honestly, the detail both of you have for your disciplines is insane. John is such a genius , honestly so many gems in this one. Keep bringing on more guests, the podcasts with guests have been so good!
Just a couple legends humbly answering some questions... love ya both
Great podcast, cant wait for the philosophy edition!
Who was the ADCC legend that Gordon Ryan submitted 3x as an 18yo purple belt?
This was amazing. Especially towards the end when you got into the psychology/philosophy of fighting. Hopefully if you get John back on, you can spend a bit more time discussing it.
Great interview. Agree with Firas on Garry’s and Gordon’s comparison. Same system different personalities. And yes, Garry is also my favourite grappler 😂 Super entertaining and incredibly fearless for his size.
Seeing John and Firas in the back with Rory before his fight was awesome. Pulling for him this PFL season.
Gold! Two legends. Congratulations on the third 100th episode 🎉 So far so awesome. Can't wait for the fourth 100th episode. Ty Coach🙏
Saturday morning listening to this wonderful conversation. Thank you Firas! John too!
Great. Got the secret service on the door after trying to go to that Jiu Jitsu site Firas recommended..Must probably contain some amazing dangerous moves!
Wow there's like 8,000,000 IQ points on one podcast episode.
46:44 Lol! Made me laugh, because I'm sure a lot of other guys had this feeling as well in the beginning, then we realized how manly and cool it actually was 😂 🤣
Nahh that shit gai - Me otw to kickboxing class watching the other class do bjj
😂
@@Houcnc Yeah then you watch as your kickboxing lasts two mins before you are getting choked out
@@jamesmccusker2260 I'd rather being choked out than being gai
@@Houcnc Yeah I can box but can you grapple?? Fish out of water as soon as clinch. I train with strikers -ex pro boxers- who can't believe all their training means nada on the ground.
2 of my all time favorite professors.
Great conversation! Two legends. Thanks Coach. Next time, would love to get John thoughts on philosophy, God, religion and ideas like Qadr/ determinism.
Ive been waiting for this duo to be on camera for years!
The greatest martial arts coach in the world who encourages others to follow his methods with realistic results. I don’t think John knows how many people he has truly impacted since making instructionals. His teachings have changed my life! Thank you Coach for bringing him on.
I truly wish to shake and meet both of you guys. You are amazing
Now a part two talking about other things aside from combat sports! He’s so fascinating I hope we get to hear more from him before I or he leaves this earth.
This is absolutely gold! ♥️
Danaher is the best guest for the 100th episode!
Meeting of two of the most sophisticated minds in martial arts. So grateful we could watch this for free.
Danaher needs to just quit fkn around & have his favorite rash guard tattooed on him & bam 💥 just like that 1% per week of compounding time to dedicate toward innovation in SG
Thank you so much coach. Seeing this is like a crossover episode of my favorite TV show. You both have so much wisdom to offer and give it away freely.
This was a brilliant interview. Can you get Rener & Ryron Gracie on next?
Expected knees over toes guy or paul saladino but this is even better.
One of my favourite conversations about grappling ever - there is so much passion and wisdom being shared here; bless you Firas 🤙
Firas brother. Wipe those door hinges with some olive oil. They will never squeak again
Never clicked so fast
That a boy!
What a treat! Brilliant discussion between two philosopher-coaches. So many questions about the legend Jon Danahar answered. These gentlemen are proof that fighting is an intellectual game and thinkers sport first and foremost.
What Firas said about GI training is absolutely correct. I have found that and have witnessed that GI practitioners can develop muscle memory for techniques that cause their no GI BJJ techniques to falter. For example if you are really good at spider guard and the transitions wherein, you will find yourself defaulting to those grips and positioning fundamentals automatically in no GI matches, putting yourself at significant deficit when it comes to technique.
This is what I witnessed at Extreme Couture and AKA. Once the GI came off many practitioners were unable to compete with predominately no GI practitioners; especially wrestlers.
Excellent podcast, thanks for this. If you do happen to do another maybe give John some more time to expand on ideas/thoughts
46:40 "i thought it was gay at first" lmaoooo
Great episode Firas. If you have the opportunity I would love to see some philosophy content before he leaves
William Tackett did the same thing against Palhares in BJJ Stars. He in my opinion did beat Palhares even more decisively.
Fascinating stuff. I can't get enough of Danaher
"You've really got to plan what you're going to focus on. Hard work is not always good. Hard work, sometimes, is a waste of energy." Firas Zahabi
Thank you for podcasts guys
You're welcome it's our pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Coach is someone handling your podcast uploads? It’d be really nice to listen on a podcast app opposed to UA-cam
This is like in power rangers when they morphed in to the megazord.
Dewy cooper and John...firas getting some amazing MMA minds on the pod
Feraz, please stop saying yes or "mmm" every 5 seconds. It's annoying. Just listen quietly like Joe Rogan does. Thank you for great content nonetheless.
This is an amazing interview! Thank you and I hope we get a next one. Also, your being of an insider in the development of John's coaching career brings a unique perspective into the conversation and makes you ask the right questions.
I wonder what his thoughts on Ryan Hall is, how Firas would compare Ryan's BJJ with Gary, and Gordon. What is like for Firas to roll with Ryan Hall compared to Eddie Cimmings.
Thank you for sharing!
If you do eventually have another interview with him it would be interesting to hear how his phd work influenced his pedagogical approach. Who were some of the philosophers and/or military theorists influencing his approach toward combat, epistemology, research programs?
One more podcast with John please
100 more?
@Rothgar eaterofass, don't give my hope 🙈
45:05 firaz re garry: “i remember putting him to sleep with a darce” CURSED WORDS!
Had no idea that Jon took up BJJ so late. Just shows how far pure obsession to the sport can really get you
He picked it up while he was a bouncer
the science of control! love that this finally went down.
You got Firas, you got Danaher, you got GSP, together: is it any wonder they were the BEST? What a team of exquisite humans.
I believe John should design a system in different levels of intericacy and supply it IBJJF or any other organization that manages the sport ... that way it will greatly helps everyone to have a fabulous unified fundamental understanding of Berazlian Jiu Jitsu and most importantly it takes away distasteful methods of teachings for those who has recently started to learn BJJ. The fundamtals must be equal for everyone but unfortunately it's not like that now.
Brb, canceling my plans
As you should
Wallahi your podcasts are a blessing ! I've never learnt so much in me life!
I know nothing about BJJ but still listening to it.
Why didn't you include the legs in the video...why would you ignore 50% of the human body? 😉
I absolutely agree about Tonon being the most fun grappler to watch - and let's not forget, Tonon is also my mother's favorite grappler!!!!1
Amazing! We need a philosophy edition too! JAK
Fascinating stuff. I can't get enough of Danaher
Firas' interruption game is blackbelt level!
Firas and Jon! I was happy to see Rory have a dominant performance last night against Brett Cooper in PFL! Took his back and choked him
This was amazing... could listen to Firas and John all day long man. Wealth of knowledge between the two.
The Arab Fanatics Joke was sooo good !!!!
Excellent podcast! Love hearing Danaher's thoughts.
Thanks for the content and keep up the great work 😃
Wow. What a privilege to hear both these men in conversation. Not only world class coaches, but world class communicators in ideas.
F'n legends, the both of you.
Thanks for this, was great to hear both of you guys reminiscence.
Peace And Prosperity Coach And Mr Danaher.
Another excellent podcast
Baron Vladimir Harkonnen sure knows a lot about Jiu-jitsu! ;) Much respect to these two legends for sharing their wisdom and experience.
Amazing conversation but not enough ads for my liking. They were almost able to finish a few sentences, I need ads every 30 seconds as opposed to every two minutes.
2 more hours brother
Great podcast, enjoyed the insight. Please do another podcast and discuss philosophy and science! God bless you Coach!
Oh hell yeah! Only two of the greatest MMA and bjj minds on earth!! Let's go!
Sqrimmage I think is a term that Mr D seems to have adopted from rugby - often used when referring to a scrum - could be wrong but love to see his nz heritage coming through
2 great minds thanks for this Coach, you're the best!
I wish this podcast was 5hrs long!!!!
Firas thank you brother for the great podcast much appreciated
Hey man, Firas isn't wrong with his first impression of bjj... I thought the same thing when I used to see the group at my college training in the gym 😄 it wasn't until years later that I recognized how necessary the art for any kind of real competence in fighting

Firas got jokes
@46:44 Not gonna lie, as a gay person I was a little disappointed by your choice of words. 😐 oh well… much love, Coach. Cheers
Wasn’t meant as an attack. In the early 90’s we only seen striking arts. Grappling was weird at first
Dude, two men rolling on the floor, hugging each other. How to not think it was gay? And for straight dudes, doing gay stuff like hugging men on the floor is not cool. The most common joke from people who don't practice BJJ or wrestling is: so you fight hugging other dudes?
Thank you for doing this. Both of you. Please do another. 🙂
Nice, thanks Coach!
👍
Can’t wait to watch this, great idea for a 100th episode special, brother Firas. I greatly appreciate the content you provide. May God aid you to keep it going for years to come
John is phenomenally wise! Great conversation!
I’ve been waiting for this all day
"John, please raise your voice."
1. No need. We can hear him fine.
2. Bro. It's John Danaher. Asking him to speak up, is like asking Renzo to quiet down. It ain't happening
I've been waiting for this for 3 years
Arab Fanatics got me dead🤣🤣
Arab fanatics! 😂😂😂
