#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

At some point, you're going to be like, you know what, fuck this old guy.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

It's tough.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

Mentally, I get why they left.

#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

When I was 20 years old, I didn't get along with authority figures at all.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

And to have someone telling you, you've always got to work that little bit harder.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

Your skill set's not complete.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

You still need this, this, and this.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

When you're already...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

doing very, very well, and far better than all but a tiny, tiny percentage of people.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

And then you've got this guy just constantly telling you, no, more has to be done.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

You're not there yet.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

I can, you know, of course, I understand.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

Let me just enjoy this more.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

It's always a choice in life.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

You can be the best you possibly can, or you can

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

go a route where you just get to enjoy life a little more.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

You do other things, you know, like there's more to life than just the inside of a gym and learning how to do a better heel hook or a better double leg.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

So of course, you know, years go by, you want to try other things and you have to make this choice in life between extreme excellence versus being incredibly good, but maybe just enjoying my life a little more.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

I think there's definitely a chance of that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#328 โ€“ John Danaher: Submission Grappling, ADCC, Animal Combat, and Knives

Right now, I think they have an excellent team themselves and they're doing very well.
