"Final DDS Split Update! Danaher Finally Breaks His Silence on DDS Split!"
In his most recent "tell-all" interview John Danaher FINALLY breaks his silence and reveals the true nature of the "personality conflict" which led to the DDS split over a year ago.
When John Danaher appeared on the Lex Fridman Podcast (link below for the full episode), Lex was quick to bring up the subject of the true nature of the DDS split. As it turns out, some of the speculations that were running wild a year ago were true, the Danaher Death Squad split because of conflict between the two Ryan brothers, Nicky and Gordon ultimately had a falling out which was exacerbated by their time in Puerto Rico.
I for one wonder how the performance of some of the key members of the B-Team would have differed if they stayed as one team under the banner of DDS, but I guess we'll never know. However, I think it's a silver lining that we now have TWO absolute jiujitsu POWERHOUSE teams in the form of the B-Team as well as New Wave.

San Juan is a great city, absolutely stunning, but I can see how living there would make tensions worse. They were technically in the US but it does not feel like the US. Most local's are sweet, but there’s a large “get out gringo” contingency. I’d imagine it was only the team, maybe some random girls, as a social group. Pork and plantains get boring, the culture is more South than North American (culture shock can turn to feeling isolated), and it must have been unbelievably hot in the training room. Add expectation, ego, and shit talk to that mix and it’d be tough for very close friendships to survive without good communication. Love John and Gordon’s work, but I can’t see either saying, hey, you guys seem frustrated and we are too, perhaps we should all bring this to a head and talk it out.

Danaher blames his team breakup on "Tensions that were magnified between two brothers due to training in a small town"... then stated that "More than half my team left me for team B". When 3/4 of a team leaves a gym, maybe the coach is part of the problem? Danaher then attempts to victimize himself "We were left more or less homeless"... as if he would not be welcomed to teach just about anywhere or did not have the money to rent a space to train.... just because he talks slowly does not mean he's sharing words of wisdom.

@brettmason1899 Год назад

I think khamzat would roll right through Danaher s whole team. can any BJJ guy beat these Russian wrestlers? Apparently not.

@robbie31580 Год назад

They are doing pretty damn well and New Wave's primary accomplishments come from the greatest grappler of all time. They are both top notch gyms.

That’s what happens when you don’t have a head coach

@REXAZOR Год назад

They literally performed the exact same in 2019 with 2 silver medals lmao. Danaher has NO ONE outside of Gordon..absolutley NOBODY. Gincarlo is a lucas lepri black belt. Danaher has 1 homegrown student Nickyryan from white to BB with 3 adcc losses now which proves danaher is not special he is just another top coach and nearly his entire team lost at adcc outside gordon lol. Kade rutolo is better than anyone that danaher as produced outside of Gordon ryan.......yet kade has never even met danaher. Stop spewing bullshit

Nicky rod made it to the finals of absolute in less time than any other person in the history of the sport. He beat Felipe Pena on the way there. I would say b team is pretty impressive.

@brettmason1899 Год назад

can any of those guys beat a dagastani wrestler...doubt it. BJJ days in mma are almost over. the Gracies had great market ing... fight guys with no experience to make themselves look good. hickson was "the best" and he never fought anybody of substance. wouldnt fight Sakuraba to keep the mystique in tack. Royce faced much better fighters. But was never highly regarded in The BJJ community. and no Gracies even in mma anymore.

@jimgallo6909 Год назад

B team made a bad call leaving John. Behind every great team is a great coach and that's a fact. The B Team is basically a group of dudes that are amazing at BJJ and train together. It is always easier to have a coach come up with your game plan, training, peak phase etc. I also get the vibe that Nicky Rod and Gordon can't stand each other. Call it a hunch, but it is a gut feeling I get.

His “laid back” attitude is not that at all. It is proven for a fact that by maintaining the same voice level drops anxiety, and allows someone to keep their head and emotions in check. This man could fuck up 99.9% of men in the world and break bones literally. It is sad how little people understand about psychology and how you can learn to control your brain and mood
