Will Jiu-Jitsu Destroy Your Body? A Frank Talk With John Danaher

Coach John Danaher sits down with Bernardo Faria to discuss the devastating lifelong injury that led to "bone on bone" osteoarthritis and two separate hip replacement surgeries. If you've ever worried about injuries ending your Jiu-Jitsu journey, this is the blueprint for longevity and recovery you need to see. John Danaher provides an incredibly detailed account of his journey, from the initial leg injury as a teenager to the advanced surgical procedures that have allowed him to continue coaching and demonstrating techniques at the highest level. He compares his two different hip surgeries—a traditional resurfacing and a modern "anterior approach" replacement—offering invaluable insights for any grappler facing a similar path. This is a must-watch for any BJJ practitioner, especially hobbyists over 30 and 40, who want to understand how to manage long-term injuries, make informed decisions about surgery, and build a sustainable, lifelong relationship with Jiu-Jitsu. 🥋 Get more world-class instruction from John Danaher at BJJ Fanatics!
