I teach to keep hands up but open and palms out which doesnt look aggressive to bystanders (witnesses). Also say things like "I dont want to fight" loud enough for the witnesses to hear.
Mario Sperry teaches that when you are clinched in a streetfight, try to drive your opponent into a wall or a car or some other large immovable structure. That way he will not be able to sprawl back defensively if you attempt a double leg takedown. It is similar to what is shown here.
Good to know and practice. Apropos of nothing I always liked that Royce Gracie always through a low kick when their opponent moved in. It worked to throw them off balance. 🤗😁🤗
I almost wish that before anyone gets permission to comment on martial arts videos, that they have to prove they train. There are too many lames, liars, & roleplayers who don't know anything &/or refuse to learn.
I like the concept of preventing a potential assailant from entering your personal space, since aggressors like to do that to setup a sucker punch. Preventing him from entering your personal space prevents him from gaining an advantage.
@@tjl4688 no the Gracie’s act like they made all the submissions up even the guard. Helio lied about everything he was 5’9 and jacked talking about he couldn’t walk up a flight of stairs. He was a champion swimmer in Brazil
@@silencio5184you don't make any sense no I don't understand what you mean Clarify please? You're claiming that Helio Gracie lied and was not able to walk up a flight of stairs? Helio Gracie appeared to be slim and trim but fit The term jacked I only came about in the 90s not the 50s
Yeah he didn't really expand on that concept. Basically you want to stay out of the "red zone(distance where they can generate power)". Once you have blocked their strike you should now be in the "green zone(distance where they can't generate power with their strikes, but you can now utilize Jiu Jitsu)".
Closing distance during attack is a solid advice for the massive arm punch 👊, everything he's talking about is totally applicable against mature street fighter ❤
My streetfight with my Airbnb housemate in Feb 2019 went to the ground and I put him in an improvised armbar from my high lock guard. His roommate pleaded with me to let him go. Afterwards, neither of them ever bothered me again. There are always people who will say that going to the ground is bad - if it is a “real fight” - to try to rationalize that BJJ is ineffective. It is a speculative argument based on hypothetical logic with no measurable testable results to substantiate it. Usually people who denigrate BJJ based on unsubstantiated hypothetical logic are proponents of worthless TMAs that have no merit or accomplishment.
D*mnit man! Dude in the green should never throw a punch like that. LoL! He needs to be utilizing connecting his straight jab/s before throwing a wild haymaker obvious punch at you dude! LoL.
So simple, yet so common sense effective in defensively blocking a blow from the left or right - but then moving into them when you previously said stay away a punch's length or more?!?
So many BJJ guys have become so tournament oriented, they forget about the headbutt, knee to the huevos , etc. some schools don’t even teach self defense anymore. I’m afraid our art is going to turn into a sport, like what happened to Judo.
@@jmgonzales7701 Not doubting what you’re saying but taking a fight to the ground is dangerous. There could be broken glass or other hazards but the big one is the aggressor could have an accomplice who could kick you in the head attack you whilst you’re in mount position. I once saw a video where there was one guy choking another on the ground and some girl possibly a girlfriend took off her stilettos heels and hit the guy on the head with the spiky heel. Still makes me sick just thinking about it. I’ve seen too many horrible things on nights out in my younger years, best to just suck up your pride and apologise even if you’ve done nothing wrong and walk away. Stay safe.
Bjj will get you killed on the street. Maybe you've heard of this new invention called a knife. How about a gun? Eye gouge. Biting. Nut grabbing. It ain't the UFC out there partner.
@@jmgonzales7701 Wrestling is a 1 on 1 sport. Fighting is not and you never know who's jumping on your back while you're on top of your opponent or hit you over the head with a beer bottle or a chair. Don't do it.
This shit will get you killed. This looks like some Detroit self defense moves. Gracie jitsu will let you stabbed and or shot on the street. Last thing you wanna do is wrap on with someone and fall on the ground to kiss and rub preciouses. Bas Rutten speaks about this in detail. All this body rubbing and magic locks and pulls only works when the other person plays by those rules. While you're trying to pull off some stances you'll be getting bit and your eyes gouged out. Bjj is great for mma and terrible for survival when there are no rules. The Gracie's had to have many moves made illegal in many instances because they couldn't win when the other guy isn't playing body rubs.
I wish people would just test these moves. Go to a boxing gym and see if you can block a straight right with your open left hand to the bicep. Just test it. That's all I'm saying. Most of these moves won't stand up to testing it with someone who isn't cooperating as your training partner.

@@perfectsplit5515the key part is his roommate "pleaded". If you change that to "took a rock and smashed it in your head", that would be a different situation.
You were doing so well keeping the distance, and then you screwed it all up with the utter incompetence of ju jit su. Your now in knife range, you're going to ground where his friends could surprise you. Go try knitting because fighting is not your forte.
@@DUDEBroHey I don't care. It's incredibly dangerous to be showing people these techniques for use in street fights, where they could have a knife or friends. You have to stay on your feet and if taken to ground get up asap
@@tjl4688 there's a difference between running and purposely entering the grappling range where you can be knifed or taken to ground where his friends will have access to your head. Good luck with your surgery and rehab
@@markc6714don’t think this chap is talking about if he had a knife, or multiple opponents. His advice would probably be to run. Don’t be a smart arse.
They're not locked up and this is for the verbal deescalation and engagement before it becomes a fight. You must teach cops or something, because you're de-escalation skills, are trash. Sorry bud, unlike cops, untrained civilians actually are accountable for measured responses of force.
Well, whatever. That looks odd and will get someone on their guard against you. You call it prayer move but it looks more like a villain gripping his hands in anticipation. The point is to get your guard up without showing you got your guard up. Scratch your head with one hand while gesturing with the other. It looks more natural and accomplishes the same thing. I feel like you guys have moved away from practical knowledge to the theoretical and some of this stuff will only create false confidence. Best advice is and will always be to look away from screens and be aware of your surroundings. See it coming and avoid it before it ever starts.
This is a good one, also like the 'chin/beard stroke' if you find standing in prayer awkward or unnatural.

You also break their stance. It's hard for people to generate power punches while leaning backward on a car.

When will people realize this is what jigoro Kano was teaching and his student was maeda who taught the Gracie’s judo
We already know this.
Judo is Jujutsu/Jiu-Jitsu. Kano focused more on throws, the Brazilians focused on newaza.
It all comes from Japanese Jujutsu.

Obviously, it works if he throws a hook ! What if he leads with a jab or an overhand right then what ??????
All fun and games until he goes for a low blow and not a punch lol😅
Even going to the t position :)
I'm always doing that
You mention keeping your distance, but then completely abandon it, to show off the prayer move. No shame in moving away from a lunatic
Unless they follow you? All the way out OR all the way in. 👌🏼
Yeah he didn't really expand on that concept. Basically you want to stay out of the "red zone(distance where they can generate power)".

He means close the distance after they attempt to strike you not while you're trying to like not fight
That’s when you get clipped, I believe he said.
