John Danaher Reveals How To Deal With Scary Situations In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

What are some of the scariest situations you’ve found yourself in, when it comes to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Well, no matter what your answer may be, John Danaher has the solution: knowledge.

Danaher explained his line of reasoning in a recent social media post:

The scariest situations in Jiu-Jitsu are always those where you know you’re in trouble but you have no idea what to do.
As always, knowledge is the antidote.

When you what to do in a situation you’ll keep moving in a positive direction even when it’s difficult.
It isn’t difficulty that’ll make you stop and quit – it’s ignorance that develops rapidly into hopelessness – that’ll stop you every time.

Danaher continues to further emphasize the importance of knowledge:

So make the acquisition of knowledge a priority and over time turn that knowledge into physical skills through training – then that feeling of fear will seldom show itself.
