My late grandfather was a fantastic boxer. He did however once have to deal with two guys trying to rob his store. He did end up on the ground with a guy on top of him. The other guy tried to kick my grandfather in the head. Pops had pulled the dude on him across as a shield and. his buddy took that kick. Gramps got up ran the other guy down and put him to seep with a right hook. RIP Gramps and your ground game was effective that day back in 1966 in South Africa.
The emphasis on causing injury rather than trying to submit or compete is an eye-opener. It's all about ensuring your safety when faced with imminent harm.
The thing I love most about your organization is how much you’ve grown and evolved over time. I do remember some years back how you said that you need to pick between combat sports and TFT and I’m glad you’ve decided to change your mind.
He didn't change his mind, he's just saying how he could tweak something here and there and show how that tweak could be self protection instead of self defense and used in a sport fight. Tim and where he comes from don't use grappling as you or I know it. They break necks and limbs and crush when it goes to the ground so if anyone who's a ground fighter goes to the ground with someone trained very well in the approach of what Tim does is very dangerous as is when a Judo guy slams another on concrete. Remember, Tim likes anything that is useful and there's a lot of useful stuff in martial arts.
What's up Tim! DJ here ;). I agree with your video. Using the ground as a weapon is a fight ender. The problem is the title. In the video that guy wasn't using BJJ. That's actually an illegal move. BJJ (which I also do) principles is about control so their takedowns are soft. They want to take you down with enough connection that they won't lose control over you once you hit the floor. Once they get you down there then they injure you. Judo on the other hand ( the so called gentle art ) is designed to take you out once you hit the ground. That being said everything you said in the video was spot on💪🏾
My main issue. As I’ve taken numerous MMA modalities. Is placing someone in say a rear naked choke on the ground. And your vulnerability being ON the ground. As a cop, in the octagon, as a sport, it’s perfect. Not street fighting IMO.
Nice one. I've been involved with your approach since your days at the other place and this one escaped me. You guys really did think of a lot of the different ways that violence defeats all. As soon as it happened, I saw it and was like "How come I never thought of that one" and it's because I never thought about using the force of gravity to the head and at the same time 200lbs on the side of the neck instead of compression ground fighting. Great video!
I've perfected my Judo for almost 25 years; it's very effective... against one opponent. But these days, in a life-and-death situation, your opponent is either armed or isn't alone. There, it puts you at a serious disadvantage. One reason I moved to Silat years ago because it is not just complementary but also uses many of the same principes for providing efficient takedowns and quick and dirty ground (and upright) fighting.
I really like the leg sweeps/takedowns of Silat. It's quick, efficient, and allows you a quick 1/2 second to make a calculated decision: run away or go further into the fight. Great MA.
Even without taking into account the direct effect of the forearm on the nerves in the neck, it kept the opponent from tucking his chin to keep his head from impacting.
Over 50 years training martial arts 4hrs a days, 6 days a week. Over 40 years working in security and bodyguard. I have very rarely had an incident that was purely one on one, they almost always have mates running in to help. That is the reason I generally avoid any grappling in confrontational situations, the exception I have found is in domestic violence situations where the assailant is generally alone.
It's interesting to see how combat sports techniques can be applied effectively in real-life situations. This fighter showed that ending the fight quickly is crucial for self-protection.
Mr.Larkin,would you please do a video on how target focus training deals with kicks.Ive been watching your channel for a while and I dont think youve ever addressed kicks.
Yes, rock to the back of the head works just as well as back of the head to rock. The only difference is how much physical effort each route takes to get to the same end result.
Head small and moving. Rock small and moving. Head small and moving. Ground BIG and not moving. Which combination is more likely to effectively make contact?
@@faitharnold4643 Doesn't matter. What matters is getting the end result: Injury. The amount of effort you have to put in to go either route is just part of your calculation to get from them being a threat to them being injured/non functional.
I have almost no experience in unarmed combat. If I have an MMA gym near me that has classes in both Muay Thai and BJJ, which would give me a faster gain in real-world capabilities? (Understanding that both sports need translation in order to use techniques for defense)
@@faitharnold4643 I think that’s a truth people run too far with. Do I want the first time I grapple with a human or get punched in the face to be the first time I get assaulted? The sport is not going to bet he final answer, but it can be part of it. I want to know how to best control someone’s movement under pressure, or how to time strikes to connect with a moving target. I think sport is a great way to figure that out.
@@RyanSmith-op5vu train both. You will be light years ahead of people that think you can fight effectively from watching videos or going to weekend seminars.
Body lock take down, slam them on the concrete. Done deal. Just be careful not to slam the back of their head, unless it's a dire situation. Nate Diaz just choked someone out via modified standing Guillotine right on Bourbon street a few weeks ago lol.
When I worked loss prevention jiu jitsu helped me put multiple people to sleep after I got into physical altercations with them. I learned quickly to not get into fights for 15 dollars an hour. I was an idiot. But size matters, strength matters and training in a variety of martial arts matters. If there are multiple opponents I don't care if you're jon jones. Its not going to be a fair fight of there are 3 or more people involved.
This video has given me a newfound appreciation for the technical aspects of grappling in MMA.
That knockout in the video was impressive!
This video serves as a reminder to prioritize personal safety

Was your gramps white?

Wow, this video perfectly showcases the importance of grappling skills in MMA.

Absolutely. Very good job finding this one. I agree 100%.
Loved the ears bit. "Pretty face . . . never been hit!" (Apologies to Muhammad Ali.)
Great channel. Informative and entertaining. Thanks!
The combination of body slams and strikes to the neck can be devastating.

@@gbody2617 i remember getting an email from him about 10 years ago saying that you’d have to choose between combat sports and TFT.
Wow, that was an impressive knockout in just 20 seconds! The fighter knew exactly how to use gravity and leverage to his advantage

Title was supposed to say mma not BJJ thx for the heads up DJ!
Great advice from a true warrior! 👊👍

I never realized the potential of using strikes to the side of the neck in conjunction with grappling. It's a powerful combination.

Love how he emphasizes the importance of using grappling for injury and quick incapacitation. Real-world self-defense!

Am your biggest fan sir ❤️
Another excellent video! Thank you!
Thanks. Can you make a video on Sambo and its effectiveness? I think they know this stuff.
Joined your material oneyear pre-paid, instead of monthly,and 6 months in i have yet to get in as my password is always denied..
Thanks Tim!

Don't bother with the martial arts for self protection. They are athletic SPORTS. Just study TFT. Tons of great videos out there.

Those out of shape 500lb gurus can't kick your arse sitting down because you just don't believe in their system hard enough.
Already a student of TFT. Have you called Mike Glover? Mike is building prep centers around the U.S. Just a thought.

As a pretty good hs wrestler
I concur

I dislike a 'fair fight'.
