I don’t know you guys… I think I trust the random commenters more than a couple of professionals who have study this stuff for 2 lifetimes. Groin strikes >
@@KnightJiuJitsu Well to be fair, no one in the comments told me to punch my own junk in self defense. I tried it, it hurts. Not sure how it's suppose to help. Is it to build some kind of immunity or something? Im confused.
If you aren't rolling with gloves at least once a week, you aren't really training self defense. Most of the idiots that would try to fight us are going to try and strike. And if someone starts using Jiu Jitsu on you, you should probably just compliment their technique and become friends ;-)
Speaking as a striker who dabbles only a little in jiu jitsu, this is 110% my favorite grappling channel on youtube. Phenomenal instruction -- clearly explained and the perfect level of detail. Great stuff. (I've said this on your channel a few times before.)
Prof. Knight and Icy Mike, you guys just confirmed what I've been saying for a long time. Fundamental, basic Jiu Jitsu wins fights. That's why a strong foundation in the basics is so crucial no matter what level you are. As a very mediocre brown belt, I still go to at least one fundamental skills class a week. The last "fight" I was in was won with nothing fancy - just the basics. Sprawl, mount, pressure, gift wrap to get the guy face down and done.
No disrespect. I have the upmost respect for this, but, most street fights aren't 1v1, and, I mean that without trying to insult anyone's intelligence. Ground fighting can result in very bad situations if you're by yourself or outnumbered. Training in multiple scenarios is definitely the best way to go home alive.
@@JesseMiller-x4s None taken. I left out a lot of details. There were three of us trying to control three people and a crowd. You'll notice that 'fight' was in quotes. This was on the job where I'm not really allowed to use anything excessive, but I didn't have to either. Each encounter is unique, but a solid foundation will get you a long ways in an encounter instead of just relying on "seeing red, bro".
I tried to punch myself in the nuts, as per instructed. I rolled off screeching in pain from my imaginary victim, he then got up and proceeded to strike a horse stance followed by a loud KIAAAI shout. I was utterly for-da-streetz'ed.
Good demo and explanation. I appreciate that you're promoting a continuum between different aspects of BJJ as they are related to self-defense (competition, gi, no-gi etc.). Thank you.
This is not the only reason, but the biggest reason why I do jiu-jitsu is because it's really good for self defense. This video is a testament to that.
Eli! Glad to see you working with other martial arts UA-camrs (at least ones I know). If you're open, I think a video with you and JordanTeachesJiuJitsu would be fantastic. Always like the way you both demonstrate and teach things.
100% accurate. I find that like 95% of people who comment to criticize jiu-jitsu videos are people who don’t train anything…at least anything of substance.
@@KnightJiuJitsu My experience (training FTF and BJJ) has been someone trying to punch me while I'm under their mount or they are in my guard are relatively unstable and easier to deal with than when they are just grappling.
@RicoMnc - I would totally agree. It’s honestly not even arguable that someone striking is inherently less stable than someone strictly trying to control and maintain their position.
I fully agree with the first thing Eli said about keeping it all the same. I want all my reactions to apply to defending myself. Hey Eli, I'd love to have you on my show! Icy Mike was on already, we should nerd out sometime 😄
Any of the self defense dudes that tout groin strikes in this position, I'd love to see them do even a single live session where that's allowed. It's always talked about as a theory, and never tried on the mat. A good, solid groin kick right up the middle might be a decent target when you're standing and can get the angle and power, but a crappy little rabbit punch or elbow while your on bottom in mount is not going to be effective. Completely agree.
The best escape I ever saw was when Enson Inoue was atop Frank Shamrock full mount and punching him, and Frank got out of it. Frank was a master escape artist, submission expert, just bad ass during his prime.
Thanks for posting this. I found this video because I was specifically looking for how to shrimp escape with punches. I already knew you could bridge escape the way shown in this video. But the way I was taught the shrimp escape the person in Mount was postured up. I've also seen that in a lot of videos online. In fact coach Ramsey Dewey has a video where he's training a female fighter and she's doing the shrimp escape and he's slowly punching her. And I thought to myself that it wouldn't work in a real fight. Usually Ramsey's stuff is spot on but I think that one video is sus.
5:09 this is crucial. So many people just go "hur hur Gi useless coz no grips in real life". Like, dude, what are the odds of you having to defend yourself against a random werido in spandex and a Tapout rashguard, then? The majority of people live their lives in clothing, and grabbing fabric is as ubiquitous in street fights as it is important to comprehend.
Biting is a thing in streetfights! If not in striking distance, keep that in mind too pls. Either get his nose, depending on clothing, you can bite chest etc. Goes for both, attacking or defending tho :) I kinda miss this in this vid. Otherwise great content!
@@KnightJiuJitsu Wow, thanks for the reply and that’s good to hear!!And yeah, totally can see the lineage in your video. I wish more BJJ gyms would focus on self defense instead of just sport BJJ, seems the Gracie CTCs and maybe some other Gracie gyms (e.g. Gracie Humaita) are the main ones that focus on self defense.
Great video again, prof. Eli. I leaned a few new things again. I would like to request you to make a video about “defending a flying armbar.” Many videos out there about how to do it. But not one that teaches how to defend it. Thanks
Thanks a lot for teaching from a self defense perspective. It's very valuable for me because I'm not training for sport competition. I subscribed to your channel. Thanks for the tips. I'll buy some mma gloves and me and my buddy will test everything out.
Thank you for this video. A big problem that I keep running into is that when I'm thinking about self-defense and grappling, I keep getting into fights with naked people. If they had clothes, the grips would be significantly easier. I'm just tired of all the naked people, though.
One hand behind the neck one arm over and around the tricep is the A choice I think, then when you latch on when they try to posture up, you can be heavy on the head, they’ll have to pull you up to get up you can flare your elbow if they wanna hit your ribs, then the detail that I think you could’ve added, is you really do a bridge and a hip thrust that posts their head up on the mat makes them have to put their hands down. I don’t generally try to pull anybody down I hip thrust place, both hands on the ribs, pushing them up above me, and then work from that position to grab an arm to roll over🤙🏽🏋🏻♀️🥋
Excellent video. We use similar approach in Army Combatives (& various Special Operations combatives programs ), and it's foundational Jujitsu for sure! I don't get ANYONE who thinks that NOT knowing this would make them better equipped for dealing with a top person in a real fight..😅 Like, what is their brilliant alternative? "PinCh ThEm iN tHe D** k.."? 😮
Gracie Jiu Jitsu Trap and roll class number 1 slice 3. These guys could learn a few things from this freely available lesson. An umpa (hip bridge) from the bottom will get the opponents hands on the floor even if they don't have clothing to grab. You should learn techniques that don't require specific clothing to work for self defense. If their arms post too far north, bear hug their body, lift your hips off the ground (this puts most of your weight on their back forcing their hands to stay on the floor) and move north until you can collapse the arm.
I’m a 3rd degree black belt in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. I came up learning the same Jiu-Jitsu that Rener and Ryron did, although my lineage is via their uncle. I have the utmost respect for them. They are world class teachers. I say this, because when I see comments like this “advising” me to watch the Combatives or whatever else because of the similarity, there is a reason for those similarities. I’ve spent 30 years training and refining deliberate decisions in how I train and teach what I do.
I've been doing the online gracie university combative because there's no gyms within an hour drive. I had a friend put boxing gloves on the other day and we did a mock street fight and it ended up with me on top of him with my hooks in, hip pressure and had his arms locked up. I was nice and didn't throw in a submission but it was very eye opening for him. Thanks for the video.
Eli from Knight BJJ is one of the best BJJ experts ever! I love his videos. But, the other guy...well at best he's literally a jack of all trades and a master of none.
@malkomalkavian I'll keep watching Knight and other legit experts and real fighters. Attitude, delivery, and personality are everything in these training videos. Eli Knight is very intelligent, humble and really really good at BJJ and his delivery in his videos of BJJ techniques and concepts is second to none! Eli is the man! On the other hand...There's nothing Mike shows that is truly impressive. He's very opinionated and rambles on and on about his views and what he thinks about martial arts and whatever. There's nothing in martial arts and fighting that he talks about that can't be learned from someone else.
I meant that it isn't just marital arts skill which makes martial arts youtube channels, and Mike has been consistent in trying to gain views for channels other than his own. @@spartanlukas
In defence of Mike, dude was an actual police officer, confronting & controlling violent people on the street. Includes modifying techniques considering possible weapons, other assailants, environment.. there’s experience there you don’t tend to gain from the gym alone
Thank you Prof. Eli for this video...I actually got stuck at the bottom of a bigger strong opponient the other day in my school MMA class..I almost forgot my basic Jujitsu escapes because I was getting punch in the face...now i have a better idea without having to go through my mental catalog👍🏽
I think, instead of asking "Will I get hit?", to which the answer in a serious fight will always be a "Yes" the question should be "Will I get hit into vital parts and will I be able to continue fighting afterwards?" Getting punched is not neccessarily Game over, so don't fret too much about that.
Do you have one where someone is mounting your arms/shoulders to keep you from grappling while they punch your face? Back when I was doing a Mcdojo Karate as a kid who didn't know better, one of their self defense drills was someone puts knees on your arms while punching your face, you use one leg kick while planting the other one to push the attacker forward to loosen the knees, quickly move arms and push knees to free arms, and then snake wrap their left arm with your right arm and grab their shirt with hands while quickly rolling each other to the side to get out. I know that's stupid.
i heard a good analogy one time about being in the middle , "it's like being a bridge , you'll get walked on by both sides" everything shown in this is basically Gracie combatives
“It’d be like trying to punch your own junk” is the best description. Who’s telling you to try “pressure points?” I thought we got past that as a society, lmao
I wish we had, but every time I think we have advanced beyond pressure points and chi blasts, I see more videos of people seriously pushing that garbage. It’s sad.
I punched my own junk and now have a severely bruised meat and potatoes. If it weren't for the steel cup that I always wear when watching an Icy Mike video things would have been a lot worse
I could be wrong but I've always thought of the upa escape as a day one move...I can't seem to get this on any training partners and they don't get it on me. But I suppose someone throwing punches is setting themselves up to be upa'd, right?
Upa is a good base disrupter. It can be an escape on its own, but generally not against people with much balance and body awareness. But it stays valuable as an off-balance that effectively sets the stage for combining escapes.
@@KnightJiuJitsu yeah! The special Forces can turn the killing machine on but they can’t turn it off! But seriously, great video! Judo guy here, and I struggle with mount still in bjj class.

Being humbled is the foundation of learning how to fight, and when you run.
Occasionally rolling with punches has been one of the most informative experiences in my BJJ training thus far.
It’s always educational and enlightening.
It’s how BJJ was SUPPOSED to be trained. The rest of the world decided to embrace their silly grappling sport instead of training to actually fight.
If you aren't rolling with gloves at least once a week, you aren't really training self defense. Most of the idiots that would try to fight us are going to try and strike. And if someone starts using Jiu Jitsu on you, you should probably just compliment their technique and become friends ;-)

The reality is if you end up in a bad position on the ground you are going to take some shots. Expect to take a few good ones before escaping.

Full mount would be very unlikely against you if you are a trained grappler.Guard and side position way more likely.
