Today I sit down with my mentor and instructor the legendary John Danaher. John is one of the most respected Jiu-Jitsu and MMA coaches in the World.
John and I haven't had a chance to sit down together since the shutdowns. So happy to have this opportunity! I hope you all enjoy!
"If you don't develop an advanced level of stability, you can kiss your wheels goodbye." Firas Zahabi
Coach Zahabi has seen more broken knees then any other coach alive today, MMA/BJJ is brutal, no other sport can compare! In fear of seeing his own knees break someday Coach Zahabi spent years working with the top experts from around the world on how to prevent and rehabilitate injuries. Over the years he develop the Strong and Stable 4 Life program.
This is the World's Number 1 stability training program.

"Simply put, we need to develop advanced stability, most trainers however will only take you to the most basic level of stability training, that's all they know, that's all they can do, with knowledge of the correct progressions anyone can develop world class stability" Firas Zahabi
This program is designed for athletes of every kind and should be mandatory for all life‑long athletes. You need this video to ensure you good health. This is must have content!
As always, Coach Zahabi gets directly to the point. The video begins with a few key concepts about alignment to keep you fit and healthy for life. Coach then moves on to foundational exercises that will help you build STRENGTH, STABILITY, POWER, MOBILITY and DURABILITY in the lower body and help you protect your knees for life. All these components are needed for strong and stable knees.
Most athletes injure themselves with poor form, tight muscles, poor alignment and poor choice of exercise. Coach addresses all these issues in the first 45min of the program.

Part 2
Once the basics are covered in Part 1, Coach Zahabi goes into the Knees in Depth portion of the video. In this portion Coach will teach you what you need to know to build strong healthy knees for life. Reserve this portion of the video for when it’s most convenient. Here, Coach goes into many deep concepts such as:
Why alignment is paramount
Why tight muscles are dangerous
Why stability training is king
Would you build a house of cards on a wobbly table?
Why you need an Iron Base
Why we never do stability training before live training
Why we need strength
Why we need power: "Train like a Ferrari not like a tow truck"
Why we need low impact plyometrics
Why we need endurance
Why we keep our knees from going over our toes
Would you do a barbell squat with a rounded back?
Exceptions to the rule
Consistency over intensity (how many reps and sets?)
Why excessive soreness is the enemy
Working out for time
The pain rule (when it's ok to work through pain and when to stop)
When to wear knee pads
Coach’s own personal knee injuries
What he has observed from training professionals for over 20 years

When Jon leaned into the camera: "When you can control time and pressure you are going to win this game of jujitsu" .... bruh my whole perspective on life changed
Firas, please do another session with John Danaher!
Jon is an absolute wizard in BJJ. I've never trained under anyone that is as smart and hard working and dedicated to the sport.

This and the Fridman ones with John and then the one with John, GSP and Gordon are really impactful imo
Just a couple legends humbly answering some questions... love ya both
I didn’t want to learn Jiujitsu to get an advantage by getting to half guard! - JD thinking in a different spectrum, whilst also understanding the crucial aspects for the average viewer/participant. Such a rare combination. These two are Gold. Grateful from across the pond! ✊🏼
Honestly, the detail both of you have for your disciplines is insane. John is such a genius , honestly so many gems in this one. Keep bringing on more guests, the podcasts with guests have been so good!
The greatest martial arts coach in the world who encourages others to follow his methods with realistic results. I don’t think John knows how many people he has truly impacted since making instructionals. His teachings have changed my life! Thank you Coach for bringing him on.
Meeting of two of the most sophisticated minds in martial arts. So grateful we could watch this for free.
John is Legend ! Built this man a statue ! How lucky are those who have the chance to train with him ! God bless him !
2 of my all time favorite professors.
Great podcast, cant wait for the philosophy edition!
Firas we need more science of philosophy talk. I think it would be a great chat with Andrew Wiltse. Thank you!

Saturday morning listening to this wonderful conversation. Thank you Firas! John too!
Seeing John and Firas in the back with Rory before his fight was awesome. Pulling for him this PFL season.
Gold! Two legends. Congratulations on the third 100th episode 🎉 So far so awesome. Can't wait for the fourth 100th episode. Ty Coach🙏
Fascinating stuff. I can't get enough of Danaher
One of my favourite conversations about grappling ever - there is so much passion and wisdom being shared here; bless you Firas 🤙
Now a part two talking about other things aside from combat sports! He’s so fascinating I hope we get to hear more from him before I or he leaves this earth.
Ive been waiting for this duo to be on camera for years!
This is absolutely gold! ♥️
Wow. What a privilege to hear both these men in conversation. Not only world class coaches, but world class communicators in ideas.
What a treat! Brilliant discussion between two philosopher-coaches. So many questions about the legend Jon Danahar answered. These gentlemen are proof that fighting is an intellectual game and thinkers sport first and foremost.
F'n legends, the both of you. Thanks for this, was great to hear both of you guys reminiscence.
Thank you so much coach. Seeing this is like a crossover episode of my favorite TV show. You both have so much wisdom to offer and give it away freely.
This was amazing. Especially towards the end when you got into the psychology/philosophy of fighting. Hopefully if you get John back on, you can spend a bit more time discussing it.
This is an amazing interview! Thank you and I hope we get a next one. Also, your being of an insider in the development of John's coaching career brings a unique perspective into the conversation and makes you ask the right questions.
I truly wish to shake and meet both of you guys. You are amazing
Great. Got the secret service on the door after trying to go to that Jiu Jitsu site Firas recommended..Must probably contain some amazing dangerous moves!
Danaher is the best guest for the 100th episode!
I really enjoyed that, thank you both for taking the time to make it and to pass on your knowledge
This was amazing... could listen to Firas and John all day long man. Wealth of knowledge between the two.
Thanks for uploading the interview 🙏 it is amazing
When a man builds up a another man, but none of it is BS. It is all genuine honor and respect and the due of a demonstrated master. This broadcast was a pleasure and an honor to watch.
Thanks for finally making this happen Firas!
Thank you for doing this. Both of you. Please do another. 🙂
Legendary Episode!!! Amazing coach

More than great video! Thanks Firas and John!
Thank you for sharing 👊 I love the history literally my two favorite coaches
Thanks Firas, your channel always provides so much insight.
Great interview. Agree with Firas on Garry’s and Gordon’s comparison. Same system different personalities. And yes, Garry is also my favourite grappler 😂 Super entertaining and incredibly fearless for his size.
you guys are legendary. Thank you for sharing this conversation
I could listen to them every day
What an epic conversation… thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!!
You got Firas, you got Danaher, you got GSP, together: is it any wonder they were the BEST? What a team of exquisite humans.
Great interview. 2 legends
I absolutely agree about Tonon being the most fun grappler to watch - and let's not forget, Tonon is also my mother's favorite grappler!!!!1
Oh hell yeah! Only two of the greatest MMA and bjj minds on earth!! Let's go!
This was great. Thank you!
Nice, thanks Coach!
Who was the ADCC legend that Gordon Ryan submitted 3x as an 18yo purple belt?
Great conversation! Two legends. Thanks Coach. Next time, would love to get John thoughts on philosophy, God, religion and ideas like Qadr/ determinism.
Can’t wait to watch this, great idea for a 100th episode special, brother Firas. I greatly appreciate the content you provide. May God aid you to keep it going for years to come
John is phenomenally wise! Great conversation!
What an incredible and informative video. I’ve never practiced BJJ but i enjoyed every moment. Great questions and also love Firas’ awareness of the need for proper volume whenever John would speak too quietly; really quality production !
Firas! The man! Thank you for this, it was awesome!!!
