Jocko Willink and Dean Lister Talk about Benefits of BJJ, Grappling grips, GI vs Nogi 

“No one tries to fight me.” - 6 ft 1, 220 lb dude who people call ‘The Machine’.

I wonder just how uncomfortable jocko would be if he knew how many of us grown men fall asleep to his voice almost every night 😂😂😂

At age 53, Just started BJJ, Should have done this 30 years ago

I felt like this was slam poetry at first. Really spot on about BJJ love it,

the first 19m49s of the video is brilliant

Jocko needs to be in UFC 4.

Lister is the only man who can get away with making fun of Jocko for calling fatigues camies!

Literally just saw Dean Lister yesterday in San Diego at TapOutCancer 2019. Understandable why no one picks a fight with him; his neck was thicker than the torso of kids he was coaching. Dude is huge. Also side note: awesome to see him giving back to the community

The first 45 seconds of this video was absolutely brilliant.

After 7months of inactivity,finally I can train again.I can safely say it's not about the belt but the journey,knowledge and wisdom that I can collect until come a time where I have to pass it on to my future kids,we share one ocean and we call it "tatami",train and be happy.Happy New Year guys!! 👊

Love the reference to "the way".

Thank you Jocko! I used this video to inspire my two sons to catch the vision on how Jiu Jitsu / Wrestling teach leadership skills for life.

U can make assumptions about how u would fare in a fight. But u don’t know til u do it. My first of bjj I realized that anybody in the world has had more than one day of experience then me on the mat could take me apart. It’s humbling. And it’s a feeling I couldn’t live with. It’s what’s motivated me to stay on the path.

Dean got that Batman voice going ..

Immediately got the BloodSport reference

Great 👍🏼 discussion.

This is gold

I was fat and happy the past couple years not very active and playing a lot of chess, I wrestled ten years of my life but got very lazy and didn't know how to push myself. I have grown to love how much wrestling, chess and jiu jitsu have in common, and they all have taught me things about myself and about the other disciplines.

Just finished my second class at age 52. I tell people a little humility is healthy and my ego is very "healthy".

I don't care how much better both Jocko and Dean are than me, there's definitely MORE techniques in the gi than in no gi.

Echo Charles biceps scare me more than Dean Lister

Wow just found this guys channel. Is great stuff.

Great video.

Loved the blood sport reference 😉

When you move from the military to give training. "Cammies to Jammies"

I used to train at Victory way back in the day when it was actually called Elite Training Center or something like that...it used to be a tennis club or something and became Elite training fitness...Dean was an instructor then along with a boxing coach Shannon whom I remember....I only did NoGi classes there but I was told by Kevin Husseini, who Dean knows very well, that Gi BJJ must be learned first...I went and trained at Fabios Santos for a few months in Gi BJJ but had to stop because it interfered with my Rugby at UCSD...I have only recently returned to Gi BJJ in 2016 in NorCal upon which I suffered a massive neck injury that took me out for 2 years...after healing, I resumed Gi BJJ in Arizona and just started doing no gi BJJ as a way to lose weight for an upcoming tournament for Gi BJJ....ok so my point is this, take both at the same time, one isn't better than the other, both can only make you a more well rounded athelete

I’m a Rexkwondo black belt

Crazy how I found a bjj gym and they told me to come in for a free class. It was No Gi night and the warms ups alone had me in sweat. Mind you I thought I was pretty good shape lol. Then we learned an arm bar and the rear naked choke from mounted position (first class mind you) then after foundational instruction for beginners was over I started to watch the master teach his mastery class as I got all the info on the price and services and the arm bar he taught was super detailed. He went through the reversals and everything. Instead of laying down this arm bar was leaning forward. I’ve been going everyday 5 days per week since

Excellent stuff, love it (being a few years into BJJ). I'd say all sports tell you a lot about people. Golf, basketball, football, tennis...all tells (idk running).

so useful thanks so much

I'm confused about Jiu-Jitsu always telling the truth. I've been a blue belt for over 20 years, and I'm okay with that. I give purple belts a run for their money almost all the time. My professor says my best skill, is how well I recognize when to tap. When I was younger and first started Jiu-Jitsu you would just about have to rip my shoulder out of socket before you'd make me tap. I didn't discover early in the game, that's not going to make me feel good when I'm 60 years old. My professor would be happy to promote me to purple belt. That sounds nice to me, but getting higher belts makes me feel the level of expectation required of me will increase. I just love training, and I think mat time is more valuable than a belt. I can finish most guys half my age, unless they're a black belt or brown belt or a 3 stripe purple belt who is half my age. Because of my age and my diminished athleticism overtime, I barely feel like I'll be worthy to receive a brown belt if I can ever make it past purple. I just love Jujitsu and I want to do it for the rest of my life, in 14 more years I will have been doing Jiu-Jitsu 40 years. I must be the world's slowest learner, but I'm having fun, and I'm doing better than anybody I know at my age. I'm grateful to God for my Jiu-Jitsu Journey!

Great listen. Just an FYI though. John Danaher is most likely the greatest Jiu Jitsu instructor on Earth and has never competed.

JOCKO FOR PRESIDENT

You can learn about someone by how they fight......reminds me of Ryu from Super Street Fighter 4. "The fight is a form of communication. It leads to understanding. It holds a meaning deeper than mere words". I imagine it is basically a lot of nonverbal communication so I can kind of see that.

Love both these guys, I agree with 99.9% of what’s being said here, except the Golf comment. You could tell a lot about a person by the way he plays the game of golf. Why do you think it is such a great place to do business? The way they play and approach Golf is the same way they’re gonna play and approach business.

Same thing happened in Minneapolis guy hit someone he fell hit a curb and died. However a friend of my brother put a choke hold on a guy and killed him. He cried as the judge gave him 8 years. So just be careful everyone. Also to Add it was his friend that he was as doing the drunk uncle technique on.

This is the way

Jiu Jitsu is the art of war

Good.

John Danaher is the exception of instructor that has not competed

Subtitle, please

Proximity. Thats it. I'm starting a school out in the middle of BFE...

more humiliating... than DYING ? 😆

For jiu-jitsu it's a purple belt level Gracie Baja can have permission say Ralph Gracie let BJ Penn instruct his class while he was gone.So many great topics you guys are covering Awesome!

Yes its true you can say all that about boxing too though

White belt here I love this videos

i think i saw dean lister on the history channel.. they dug him out of a glacier researching what humans looked like during the last ice age.

Was it dean lister that got Crocop into Juijitsu,,Even tho he came from Kickboxing background,Around the time when Crocop decided to go after Fedor and challenge him

At 3:36 I thought he said his teacher was one of the world's best rappers.

Real life application for guard-pulling; Being a Correctional Officer. An irate inmate is coming after you. You know that help is coming, but you have to survive until they get there.

Any footage of Joko rolling or sparing

Two men who have a enough natural testosterone to provide Vitor Belfort with enough TRT for the next 10 years!

I'm just looking at echos arms

I was at a seminar with Gene LeBell and they asked him what is the difference between what you do and Brazilian Jui-Jitsu and he said nothing it's just that I have less rules.

Why does he say that hand clasping is so bad?

GREEEEEEEEEED

Why can you just repost this? *says guy who doesn't understand youtube*

Head scratch by Echo lolz

I've heard John Danaher has never competed.

Instead of Jui-Jitsu I say grappling.

In no gi most people where belts to keep up there pants or just grab the waist of his pants. Flip his shirt over his head if he's stupid enough not to take it off.

This is more like a presidential speech.

Yes, Marines call their uniforms "Cammies." We also call the top and bottom parts of the uniform the "Blouse" and "Trousers" respectively. Yeah, Marines are huge dorks.

The reality is in real Street situations there are no rules eye pokes bites even a pen in your pocket or keys becomes a friend jujitsu for sport and competition are trained differently self defense if completely different

Dean Lister been chokin' back those burgers... eat a salad...represent the art.

pulling down with all your weight making the pressure unbearable.

Hey guys Jocko wakes up his alarm clock!!!!

And what is new...

You can get tapped out.. I can get tapped our . What's your point

Boxed in the service but doesn't do much good in the real world, seriously considering this art.

John Danaher never competed.

Interesting podcast specially what he refers to as “the Way”...before early followers of Jesus Christ began call it “Christianity”, it was often referred to as simply “the Way”. Even Jesus said it: John 14:6 New International Version (NIV) 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Cammies = Camouflage utilities...

what sport isn't about "problem solving"?

Would love to know who disliked this video and if there was any logic behind their dislike.

Do u know da wae?

Why do you always look angry in your podcasts the black and white is really throwing me off

You look like a mutant bro😆

Just keep your legs away from Mr Lister

Camies and Civies. Those are the only two classifications of clothing.

Joko just stated that John Danaher is a fraud,a phony coach......lol

And for the striking the Boxing & American Kickboxing has no similarities to the Muay Boran and can be used to defeat all of the attacks when trained correctly the Muay Boran is devastating say in the clinch game standard Kickboxing and Muay Thai grab the neck pulling the head while knees are delivered ect.In Muay Boran turning the 1st hand into a fist knuckles facing behind the ball in the back of the head 2nd hand placing over the first hand supporting the two knuckles digging into the back of the head causing pain just from the hold nobody does that.

I could say that same things about tennis (strategy, tactics, balance of power vs. precision, endurance, speed, etc.) and frankly most other sports. Sport, in general, provides many life lessons and actual tangible benefits for life in general. I don't see BJJ as any better or worse than tennis in this context. Plus, in tennis i don't have another dude's butthole in my face. So there's that.

All the benefits are the same in wrestling, expect in wrestling its better

Let me just put this out there... Royce Gracie only won the first couple UFCs because they let him in the cage with wearing his weapon on..period! Now, we seen what happened when he went against a wrestler "Matt Huges " without his weapon on. He got held down and his head pounded in relentlessly until the ref pulled him off. With that fact noted, just imagine if it was outside on the street. He'd have brain damage or eye gouged out or worse crushed bones. Either way the wrestler would of put him in the ICU.. In real life survival situations, wrestling is top of the Martial arts food chain.. there's a reason why ancient romans used it on the battlefield against a hundred thousand warriors. If you go to the ground your dead only controlled environments with rules is jujitsu the Martial arts to go to.. If you came across a few buddy's of mine "Carry Kolat, Nate Carr, Kevin Bracken " and tried to fight them on the street, you would not walk away. Rather you'd be rushed to the hospital straight to the ICU..

Im a former Marine, it's camies... also Im cute as hell keep your l ladies locked up.

Lister exercised some rudeness calling the way real soldiers call bdu “cute”. He obviously enjoys the respect of Jocko but should reciprocate

What about Fabio Santos, Jocko, you didn't learn from him? the other thing is that you can tell you don't have experience fighting in the street. I grew up in the street, getting stabbed in fights, fighting for my life, that is why Jiu Jitsu guys lose in the street , it is because you can't pull guard in the street when you have several people attacking you, by the way, I've trained with you and Dean, but Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is not practical for the street!! I have seen a lot of Jiu Jitsu guys take terrible beatings in street fights. I think it is very disturbing that you are pushing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as an end all means for self defense, this is why I prefer training with martial artists from Okinawa where they had to fight against the Japanese swordsmen with no weapons, they understand this concept. Be honest, how many street fights have you been in throughout your life, or even as a Navy Seal, how many hand to hand combat situations where you had to face a knife or gun against your martial arts expertise have you had?

Stop with the corny black and white background....we get it..you're a tough guy and like to say exceedingly overdramatic motivational nonsense so people will pay you money......alright dude.

I practice Jiu jitsu but everything he talks about can be applied to any of the five major combat sports: Boxing, Wrestling, Jiu jitsu, muay thai (kickboxing in general), and Judo, MMA (a medley of all of the above). I say this just to be fair to the other disciplines.
