The follow-up to the martial arts best seller!

The Danaher Diaries return with a new master class on jiu-jitsu.

Ready to return to the mats? New concepts, new stories, and more brilliance from the leading mind in Brazilian jiu-jitsu can be found in the follow-up to the surprise 2019 hit. This is the perfect companion for your BJJ journey. Short, thought-provoking entries can be listened to as you sit in the parking lot before the gym opens, or after class when you're reflecting on training. Included in volume two are Danaher's most recent postings on:

  • The iron law of speed vs. control
  • Why you must climb instead of jump to your favorite positions
  • Reflections on ADCC 2019
  • The power of wedges, levers, and fulcrums
  • Keeping your body warm, your mind calculating, and your heart cold

Be a fly on the wall in the famous blue basement as you study with the kingmaker to champions like Gordon Ryan, Garry Tonon, and Georges St-Pierre.

Special audiobook improvements:

  • New audio cues to break up each passage
  • Added ambient music in the opening and closing sections
  • By popular demand, the one and only David Sweeney-Bear returns to narrate, channeling the smooth New Zealand accent of the man himself!

Reads like a textbook

Definitely definitely need to listen to these diaries multiple times to gather every line of information. Quite hard to listen to, the content reads more like a textbook than a novel of any sort. Not a bad thing if your goal is to learn and absorb new information on Jiu Jitsu.

Another Dabaher Masterpiece

every principal and concept that John covers is not only practical but immediately applyable in training. I've witnessed this first hand. I've been a high-level guy on the mat for quite a while now. however, there's always room for growth and improvement. it's a lifelong journey that were never going to perfect. John's principles and concepts when applied correctly work at the highest level. I will be making an effort to practice them in my own training and when I compete. I highly recommend listening to the Danaher Diaries.

Required Reading for Nerds

This is great! If you’re a cerebral jiu jitsu player, JDs thoughts & musings are thought provoking and arresting. I listen to all 3 volumes every couple months & always get something new or different from each listen. If you’re not a cerebral bjj player than I dunno what to tell you🤷🏻‍♂️🤓

Dense with information.

So much excellent information about Jiu Jitsu that you will have to listen to it over and over to try to absorb it all. John Danaher is a genius and knows how to break down the most important parts of the Jiu Jitsu game.
