Wow, he started Jiu Jitsu in his late 20s! Now that's uplifting.. perhaps its not too late for me then. haha!

I've modified my Jiu jitsu game in my mid-forties. I go 3x a week, and the other days I go to yoga. Quit eating grains and sugars to keep inflammation down, and I take ice baths a couple days a week. You gotta find what works for you.

This is encouraging. I too have significant bilateral knee pain and was a little hesitant about continuing my training. Can't pursue standing, so there is hope for all of us with leg pathologies. Just wanted to add that hip replacement is a piece of cake and minimally invasive now

playing Rugby here in NZ ACL MCL injuries are common.. when you have 2 or more guys 90 kg and over trying to smash you at once if your not conditioned youll be injured easy.. i have regular pains from playing rugby when younger.

Danaher is most likely the most dangerous man that you can learn to fight from. Hes a DAMN ENCYCLOPEDIA of technique. But some of his observations are about obvious AF. Hes a damn awesome coach though.

Seen a lot of hip, knee, and spine surgery. You wouldnt believe how violent they are.... but the person can stand and go home next day usually. Amazing surgeries (had two disc surgeries and saved my sanity from pain!). But still do bjj! Like he says... you adapt your game for us older guys.

Knee is trickier to replace because of its somewhat complicated biomechanics. Actually, it is well known it is not a bone operation but soft tissue surgery. It is extremely important to get soft tissue balance correctly by a surgeon. It is not successful as a hip replacement (99% of people very happy compared to 80-90 with knee after 1 year). However, rehab is EXTREMELY important. Weight-lifting well needed- carefully ofc. If your surgeon and you both do it right there is no thing you can’t do, except maybe plane jumping without parachute

Have John ever mentioned how he takes care of the face skin? Looks good for a 50yo

John Danaher speaks really well and has a pleasing accent, if people want to grow the overall BJJ community they should let him do the talking.

My father has both knees replaced, the first of which was done 18 years ago, was only intended to last 10 years and still is good now. He also is overweight, like 300 lbs and 6'2". The other knee was done about three years later and they both are fine now. I think a big reason so many artificial joint replacements fail is because people don't do the rehab the doctors order. For a month after each replacement, I helped my dad with exercises twice a day, three times for the first week and that was on top of therapist appointments which were twice a day at first then once a day for the last couple weeks. 30 days after the first replacement he and I were walking through London, he used a cane, but at 60 years, not athletic and 300 lbs thats pretty remarkable.
