Should be fun. Danaher's a "different" character. Like genius level.

Well you’re definitely not a genius then :)
Thank you. If you want to hear some dipshit regurgitate random philosophical nonsense they learned in college and pass it off as a keen intellect, you don't have to pay 2000 bucks to roll around with me in a 'private'. You can just ask me some questions while I bus your table at Denny's. I won't make you call me 'Professor' either.

Being the best teacher in your respective field probably does though.
Cool, so flat earther Eddie Bravo is a genius. That settles that.

Has Danaher ever personally climbed on top of you and given you a taste of his genius?

Danaher's students run over Eddie's. Eddie would also be considered a genius in his field though.



Unfortunately I was out of town when he was doing a seminar.
So we are talking about being a 'genius' in coaching a particular sport? Sure, I'm sure he's very, very good at teaching BJJ, although I suspect he's even better at convincing people how good he is, Lloyd Irvin-style.

I'm not referring to people thinking he's a genius in terms of BJJ knowledge anyway, I'm referring to creepy pajama-wearing cultists thinking that his 'genius' extends beyond that. As our good friend Eddie Bravo proves, you don't have to be an actual genius in any realistic sense of the word to be an elite coach at some particular activity - the human brain can be funny like that.

Yes. Genius is generally specific to a field. Elon Musk is a genius, but he still does a lot of stupid shit.

He doesn't license his name. He's only known because of his staggeringly good results. It's literally the opposite of Lloyd Irvin who marketed himself with little to validate his claims.

Understood. Eddie Bravo is a genius in his 'field' and is comparable to Elon Musk, as is some guy call Srdjan Veckov, who I've just looked up is the head coach of the Polish Women's Beach Volleyball team, who are ranked 12th in the world.

I'm also referring more to Lloyd's ability to get people to become sex offenders and worship him like a god rather than his marketing acumen - it takes a certain level of 'genius' to pull that off (hopefully not on an unconscious girl in a motel room or parking lot).

Could be. I don't think being coach of the 12th ranked team in a sport that no one watches, but I'd be prepared to defer to your knowledge.

When did John Danaher become a sexual deviant?

I'm not saying he is. I'm suggesting that BJJ schools can be weird, cult-like places.

Everything can be a weird cult like place.

Danaher is known as being a great instructor because of how successful his pupil's are. If you want to hate him, that's your right but don't make the guy out to be some sort of predator that he isn't.

I never did, calm down. I also never accused him of being a flat earther.

you did say this though:
We're derailing this thread even by my standards - feel free to delete some posts moderators, even though the world will miss out on some of my genius in the field of forum posting.

To finish: I stand by that. I think he cultivates a following like Lloyd does. I don't think he is a sinister dude like Lloyd Irvin though.
