In the highly requested third volume of the Danaher Diaries, there are now over 100 musings from the mind of John Danaher from before and during the worldwide pandemic that drove the BJJ community out of gyms and onto various online training programs. Danaher's writings cover the timely to the timeless as he reflects on the current state of jiujitsu and it's unchanging constants.
Included in volume three are:
- Danaher's famous concepts of first contact and strategic engagement
- His parable style teachings such as "The Back and the Serpent"
- Reflections on the evolution of Gordon Ryan, Gary Tonon, and Nick Rodriguez
- His real-time reactions to the onset of COVID-19 and New York's shelter in place order.
Through it all, you'll listen to the inner workings of the consensus top coach in the sport of submission grappling, and leader of the now world famous "Danaher Death Squad" training out of the Renzo Gracie Academies basement. Professionally edited and packaged into short, daily audios that are perfect for training at home or as a gift for the quarantined grappler

This book discusses the struggles and importance of Carlos Gracie Jr. and the IBJJF in giving jiu-jitsu structure, shape, and professional credibility at a time where it was under threat of becoming simply another fad.
