How To Perform The Perfect Rear Naked Choke by John Danaher 

So good that even the camera man is choking from hearing the explanation.

the moment he said ''lets do that sequence one more time'' my heart broke for bernardo

What's always most amazing in these videos is Bernardo Faria's eagerness to learn new things and his humility in his art. Dude's a 5x World Championships gold and 6x Pan American Championships gold. Sometimes the guys in his videos are much less established than he is, and he's still so respectful and eager to learn. So much respect for Faria!

Me: Mr. danaher, how do I make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? John Danaher: Well, first we need to discuss the system of peanut cultivation in the Jiangsu, Shandong, Guangdong, and Henan provinces of China and how seasonal climate changes effect growing cycles and impact exports to the USA. The peanut (groundnut) was introduced to China by Portuguese traders in the 17th century and another variety was provided by American missionaries in the 19th century. During the 1980s, peanut production began to increase, a major factor being the household responsibility system, which moved financial control from the government to the farmers. By 2012, it was producing 16.7 million tonnes of peanuts annually.Peanuts are often used to make peanut oil, a popular ingredient in Chinese, South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisine. Although China is by far the world's largest producer, the per capita consumption of peanuts in China as of 2009 was stated to be comparable to that of the United States. Most experts attribute the introduction of the peanut to the Portuguese during the Ming dynasty. Portuguese and Spanish traders introduced a number of crops to China during this period, including sweet potatoes, maize, potatoes , peppers, tomatoes, pumpkins, and tobacco. The peanut was introduced in Fujian at the start of the 16th century, and by the end of the century had spread to Zengian. American missionaries introduced the Virginia peanut in the middle of the 19th century. Archaeological finds of purported ancient carbonized remains of peanuts during excavations in China have led to the controversial claim that the groundnut is an indigenous crop, or that explorers from China or elsewhere in the Old World had discovered the Americas and introduced crops from there millennia before Columbus.

Speaking of air supply, I'm worried about that cameraman's breathing. Is he in a RNC?

When you forget your tripod and gotta use a sleep apnia machine instead

I have to admit I love hearing the important details that most coaches miss or don’t discuss. Danaher is a legend.

I don't get the comments here. People are getting a top expert teaching them a nuanced martial arts technique for free, and they complain the video is too long...

People clown John Danaher in the comments but I learned more from his RU-vid videos and instructional than I did from my first instructor (who I was training with for 3 years). My first instructor held back knowledge. A lot of politics. John gives away intricacies and details for free and people still complain. Head scratcher.

Watch St. Pierre's finish against Bisping, and he executes the RNC exactly this way. Danaher tutelage in effect.

No Doubt John is one of the greatest Instructors of our time. Any time John Danaher speaks about BJJ I'm willing to listen.

John Danaher is a terrifying man. I love how detailed he is and how he breaks down every step of the sequence. I could listen to him talk about jujitsu all day everyday. That attention to detail is the difference from being good and being great at anything you do. I've never been more scared of another human being. No room for error with that guy.

Right after the first choke at 12:19, you can see the emotional pain in the eyes of the Bernardo when John says "Now, let's have a look at that whole sequence one more time."

That knife edge analogy is gold

To understand the hear naked choke we must first understand the nature and evolution of the cochlea.

I love John's pedantry when describing the differences between choking and strangulation 😂

John Danaher: Lets go over this sequence once again. Bernardo: thinking Fuck no haha Awesome methode brothers very very helpfull. And i wish you a happy new year and all the health love and succes

This is pure gold, never seen such a precise, detailed and deadly description. thank you so much

Wow that was mind blowing. The amount of intricate detail to a nasty choke. Love how the professor breaks down each step to lead up to the choke. Thank so much. Now I will never lose when I'm in that situation.

4:15 rnc 12:20 repeat 17:43 proper seatbelt control

Bernardo "Huge Honor" Faria

I just started training BJJ and I’ve taken 6 classes and WOW this explanation is just wonderful. Thank you!! Looking forward to my next class!

Watched this video and got my first tap using this rear naked choke on my second rolling session back when I started BJJ. Excellent demonstration and attention to detail

literally never knew what an actual rear naked choke was before this. Amazing sequence

Love how John goes into the tiniest details

Great details! Happy New Year!

Great breakdown!

This is exactly what I needed!

Phenomenal breakdown !!

Step by Step.Thanks for the video!

As a purple belt speaking to younger belts, this is gold guys. And i mean this is gold for everyone myself included. I came here looking for something to guide me in my goal of bringing my back attacks to the next level. Im going to to spend the next several months perfecting this. My goal is to have a path to the back from standing passing guard, seated with open guard, and from mount. For the rest of this year my only goal with my training partners will be to follow my path to the back and exercise this choke GOLD Thanks for free and great content Bernardo and John
