"How to brush your teeth by John Danaher"....would 100% watch haha
Or tie shoes
"To understand how to brush one's teeth most effectively, we must first understand what toothbrushing looks like at the highest level. There are two prevailing schools of thought in the brushing community: Up and down...and circular motions. I have The Squad focus most of their attention on the latter for reasons that will become apparent in the next few minutes. Bernardo, if you could raise your brush please..."
@@peteypablo09 "We are looking at the idea that if one can create the right amount of water to toothpaste ratio that it in turn will give them the optimal and maximum teeth cleaning ability. The circular brushing motion method creates Tremendous Brushing Pressure. "
@@peteypablo09 Gold!! sounds like a bit of Danaher's 10 hour instructional of the toothbrushing system that he got inspired for by someone 10 years ago
@@peteypablo09 So good!
So blessed to train with Danaher on a regular bases at RENZO NYC, blue-basement Monsters
How much is it a month? Just curious
Mate i always say “I’m so lucky to have access this guys immense knowledge on the bjj’’
I can only imagine what it’s like to actually train at his own Gym!
🏆
And now he's in Texas. Bummer for you.
We are blessed to have danaher videos on youtube 🙏🏼
3:16 adjusts his partner's shirt as if it's nothing. So masterful, so polite
And of course awesome points as usual
I think that rashguard pull was just telling him to come back to the spider web position. But Danaher does indeed always get awesome points!
He pulled him back so he can explain the next step
I knew someone is going to comment on this one🤣
I did a seminar with Dave Camarillo and he said crossing feet when on bottom was ok if the arm bar is tight and opponent is low. If you are throwing one up, then hook head with leg for sure for better control. However, there are a few times where you are already so dead on the arm bar a little hip up is all you need and feet crossed can get that done.
Thank you! Danaher is a wizard!
Aaah! This explains a lot, I always hear people say ”never cross your feet”. And then Roger Gracie sometimes say, ”now cross your feet”. I was always at a loss. But now I understand, thanks!
He’s such a fantastic instructor
Highly intellectual engaged practitioner. Thank you.
the thing to keep in mind is that teaching beginners its ok to do both will end up getting watered down over time especialy with a big academy where each individual doesnt get constant close attention from the coach, the students will loose the deatail of when ITS OK and just lern its ok to cross your feet, as a beiginner it is better to just lern dont cross your feet, then understand once you are good at jits all rules can be broken, it is the same as crossing feet when you have some ones back, As a MMA BJJ gym owner its a problem i face when getting my purple and above students to teach, they always think they are going to teach beginers all the advanced concepts, imagining they know better, but there is a reason that bjj is taught with certain concepts, ie, pass dont do leg locks, dont cross feet on back, dont cross feet in arm bar, and even more basic than this is, learn the gross muscle paterns of basic moves, fig 4, arm bar, back choke, gilotine, basic passing, basic sweeps, ETC ETC ECT. but people think they are going to teach xguard and inverted triangles to white belts, or even just over complicate all the details in an arm bar, because as a purple belt it is there best moves. REMEBER THER ARE WHITE, BLUE, PURPLE, BROWN AND BLACK BELT UNDERSTANDINGS AND IT TAKES TIME SO STAY IN YOUR LANE
I found this out one day, as I was working an armbar on my partner. During a roll, he rolled up to top. My reaction to catch myself was to open my legs and hook his head. To my surprise, it forced him back to his back where I was able to lock my ankles again and get the armbar.
thank you for the video

Thank you professor!
Does anyone know an armbar escape for when they have crossed their feet?
number 1 answer always and forever, "Don't get caught in it."
When they cross their feet, they're looking to lock below the far-side shoulder because their goal is to keep it off the mat. This naturally raises the far-side shoulder a little. It's good for defending the hitchhiker escape because the bottom player can't turn away, but it makes it easier for the bottom player to turn into his opponent. If the bottom player can get to his near-side hip & shoulder (right hip & shoulder if the right arm is attacked) and slip his elbow through so that it slides right down to the mat in front of his opponent's hips, the arm is no longer in danger. This spiderweb armbar escape is equivalent to pulling the arm out when the attacker is stacked: the goal is to free the elbow. This escape doesn't always work, but in this particular situation, 2 things make it possible: 1. The raised far-side shoulder which naturally rotates the body towards the opponent. 2. As Danaher explained here, crossing the feet compromises the top player's ability to control the head, so the bottom player is free to turn his head toward his opponent. It's going to be a fight though, you're going to have to bridge to make him post with his north arm and fake a hitchhiker escape so that your opponent tightens the lock, which raises your shoulder a bit more. The key is to constantly make him think of multiple things. It's true that the top player can keep you close when his legs are locked, so it's hard to find the space to slip the elbow through, but after several escape attempts, he'll loosen up because it's impossible to defend everything at once. You have to understand that it's not just one movement, you'll never escape like that. So basically, it's a race to see if you can slip the elbow through before he can break your lock.

@@charlesbell5500 I much better escape has recently been hatched. shrimp the other way, turn the thumb down. Not in that order and maybe at the same time if caught unprepared to defend. Used it today even. Saw from a Euro black belt, but I saw Mohamad Aly recently did a vid showing shrimping that way, but he didn't do the thumb down part. I am sure he will get there..
The blue belt that had me thought he really had me cause he caught me with my arm out, but I turn my thumb down, put it in his pocket (forgot that part), then shrimped towards my thumb. The shrimp usually changes the angle so that they lose head control (or becomes not as strong) and then c cup the other leg off of your body, use the thumb down hand to help you come up as well as leg scissor or something to get some momentum if need. Come up in side control. It will baffle mofos. Even escaped a brown belt arm bar a couple of times.
Is Plácido a brown belt?
Both are useful depending on the situation.
wow
WOW!
Your feet soles are very very clean
isn't this the spiderweb?
Yes
Truuffh.
AaaahKeh
😂😂😂😂😂
I don't know why they have to complicate this simple thing. You should try and cross feet when attempting to finish your armbar, period. It does not matter what Marcelo Garcia says or Jigoro Kano says. Let's just learn and correct our wrong belief. Crossing feet here, works similarly to when you cross figure 4 for triangle choke in terms of consolidating the position and protecting legs from being forced to move. You only open when you need to adjust, otherwise you are gonna lose it. I don't know why Danahar has to say "it's not right or wrong" when it is obvious.
I think the point is because many bjj practitioners have been told never to cross legs, he has simply suggested it’s not wrong when used for control of shoulder eg
never cross the streams! from butt
