People, be reminded this is a demo. If you are a woman or man getting assaulted, the aggressor will not let you do it so easily, make sure your practice these moves alot. Be ready and stay psychologically strong in order to pull these moves off.
yes ! it looks simple! and it is! but you gotta practice! in BJJ you actually fight against your classmates, and you end up in pretty bad situations, then you must learn to stay calm ... so during a real situation, you WILL HAVE the mindset needed to handle the situation!
This is a very good point. The attack by a vicious guy high on drugs, may begin with a hammer punch just in front of the ear, and when you wake up, you may have a knife at your throat. Better to learn some techniques than to be helpless, but do not forget your Glock 26 in a hidden holster.
Agree when your getting punched in the face its a lot harder to do this kind of stuff. You know the saying punch a black belt in the face they turn into a brown belt and so on lol
If you're a women in this situation and you decide to use one of these chokes I would make sure you're mentally prepared enough to hold that choke until the attacker is dead. It's possible to regain consciousness extremely quickly from a blood choke and if you can't escape in time you're going to end up with one seriously pissed off attacker who is going to know to defend against chokes now. Just my two cents..
I don't know, it's faster than the movies but it's more than a couple seconds, It's usually at least enough time to run. Probably good to mentally prepare to kill someone anyway when training self defense
It can easily be a couple minutes or more. Enough time to calmly walk away (not that one would). As with any Jiujitsu school, I can tell you I've witnessed students going out from a choke that was accidentally held slightly too long. My teacher for instance was demonstrating a choke on a black belt, and wasn't even really sinking in the choke, but just slightly holding it in place. He was still in the explaining process of the technique and we all realized at the same time that the guy passed out (again, a common occurrence at bjj school). It took him several minutes to awake, and when he did, he was groggy and disoriented. Which is also normal. Jiujitsu in incredibly and realistically effective for real life situations.
@North American UA-camr I intend practice all of these chokes, with a partner, starting out in super slow motion, memorizing each move, gradually working up to a less & less cooperative partner. On their website, they have some free lessons, and in Lesson 1, they emphasize to start out in extreme slow motion, including the proper way be an attacking opponent. The attacker has to be extremely cooperative at first, as well as remind the "victim" when they are leaving themselves vulnerable to punches, etc. Cooperativeness is reduced at a very gradual pace, and only after all the moves & transitions are memorized properly. Considering how Rener is not shy about making uber-long videos (pun not intended, but I'll take it), I'm surprised they didn't spend a couple minutes talking about how to properly practice these techniques.
As someone who has been choked you might regain consciousness quickly but you generally aren't "awake" enough to go straight into attack mode. You are going to have restored senses in stages and depending on how the choke effected them they will be dizzy and stumbly. So while I agree that yes hold until they have been out for a bit longer than pass out stage if you feel you need it... it's unlikely you will need to.
Also here are some more tips! -Take a picture of the car and license plate before getting into the car and then send those pictures to friends are family -Do your best to pay attention to where you’re going -It’s good to remember details of the driver (tattoos,jewelry,hair color, etc) -sit right behind the driver -also don’t get too close it gives you both personal space -DO NOT share information with the driver like if you’re new in town or who you live with or if you live by yourself if the driver’s being a weirdo and asking too many questions just lie. Your life could be in danger tell them you’re meeting up with family or friends -TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. If the driver is giving you weird or bad vibes just don’t get in the car, say you’ll get a different one or if you’re already in the car then immediately tell them to stop and drop you off right there -BEFORE getting in make sure the picture and name of the driver match the driver on the app Feel free to add more!
As a woman grown up in Iran and got sexually asulted many times on the street. From cat call to physically not appropriate touchs.. Appreciated your video a lot. In the Islamic countries from Iran, Iraq, Suriya, too Afghanistan the domestic assault is very common events. I try to share your videos with all my friends and family.
Very true. Drivers are more likely to be assaulted than passengers. drivers are generally out trying to earn a living while passengers can be drunk or what not.
An uber driver who drives full time, may pick 100 people up in a week. an uber passenger may ride 5 times a week. who has more chances of getting assaulted especially when you are dealing with drunk passengers and entitled people
+SwitchBladeCrisis420 people posing as uber drivers or lyft drivers is not a uber or lyft issue. it is a passenger issues. passengers need to be aware. passengers needs to keep communication. passengers need to probe drivers before entering. dont be dumb to enter a car because it is uber. verify the license plate of the car before entering.
no one gave a damn about dangerous passengers when the passengers were riding with traditional taxi drivers and there was no Uber or Lyft. Now that the masses are Uber drivers... whooaaa to the poor Uber driver... his passengers maybe be dangerous. Well, HELLO... driving a taxi has always been a dangerous job. Just because the taxi is now called Uber/Lyft, nothing has changed.
+Aaden Daniels exactly. the irony and hypocrisy of this is that, this same people will flag down a taxi driver new York city, and no one will ever know they got into a cab. At least with Uber and lyft, the driver where about is always accounted for.
Rener and Ryron you guys are making Jujitsu history and you are really helping a lot of people in an ethical way, which is rare these days, thank you guys, i'm watching you since maybe 2 years now and i learned a lot as i used to be a Jujitsu practitioner back in Egypt, keep it up :)
Right, so easy do do in a confined space! So simple to type, just turn around and give your back and you'll have easy victory against your violent attacker.
Emmanuel Lescouflair I've actually fought someone in a car before. So yeah... YOu can turn if you fight for it and kick around. It's hard to get leverage on someone in a confined space because you can't move to certain positions to get that leverage. But twisting around in a spot is able to be accomplished.
Choked unconscious three times!!..., thank god she survived this horrific ordeal. Eve you're an inspiration to all women, thankyou and Rener for developing the amazing WE program. 🙏🧡🧡
Wouldn't this be extremely harder in real situations because the assaulter would fight back? Is it possible to request a demo where the assaulter also attacks so we can have a grasp on how hard it would be if the situation arises?
i know im hella late with this comment but yes it would be hard. especially if your a smaller woman but, when is not fighting for your life hard... but in hopes that they dont have a weapon, hopefully you can put the rapist to sleep and then call the cops
I've only been training for 2 months now but even with that tiny experience I feel a lot more in control when sparring. For example I was rolling with a brand new white belt recently and I felt I was doing a okay job with him. Couldn't submit him but he couldn't submit me or keep me in his guard. Anyway at the end of class he was getting changed and it turned out he was absolutely ripped like some pro athlete.
Mi hermano es maestro de artes marciales mixtas y, puedo asegurar que esto realmente fusiona, siempre y cuando, tu mente esté preparada y entrenada para ello... Recordemos,el miedo paraliza, pero quien conoce el plan... No tiene miedo 🙌👏👏👏
1. Check the make, model and license plate. Both Uber and Lyft provide the license plate for the car you called in the app. Before getting into the vehicle, check that the license plate number matches what you see in the app. 2. Ask the driver who they're picking up. Rideshare drivers are given the name of their passenger upon accepting a ride. Before getting into the vehicle, ask the driver to confirm who they're there to pick up. If they don't have your name, it's likely not your ride. 3. Check that your driver matches the picture provided. Uber and Lyft provide riders with a picture of the driver picking them up. Before getting into the vehicle, make sure the person behind the wheel is the person pictured in the app. 4. Find the child lock on the side of the back passenger door. Before getting inside the vehicle, open the back passenger door and look for a lever, switch or twist lock near the side as pictured below. This is where the child safety lock is located on most vehicles. 5. Check to make sure the child safety lock is set to the unlock position. An indentation above the child safety lock lever, switch, or twist lock on the side of the door will tell you which position is locked and which is unlocked. Set the switch to the unlock position. For a twist lock, use any key or narrow flat surface to twist the lock to the unlock position. Remember, the person driving the vehicle won’t know you moved the lock unless they see or hear you do it. It could've been accidental. The driver could have had their kids dropped off at school this morning and they just didn't undo the lock. Do not excitedly react as there are reasons the lock could have been enabled. However, stay on guard at all times and have them drop you off NEAR where you actually want to go; not to your actual home. 6. If you have an iPhone, make sure that you are signed into your iCloud & your Photos are syncing to the cloud. Ben if you lose this battle you have a crystal clear and well lit set of Photos in the cloud even if they destroy your phone. When the driver arrives while it looks like you’re checking your messages discretely snap a series of photos of the driver, the car, AND the license plate as you check the back. Text ANYONE that you are leaving in this ride share driven by this person (give their name & photo). Do this messaging IN the car as they’ll be busy driving somewhere of the beaten path saying they know a short cut. Attach the photos then make sure to Lock your phone and keep your Emergency Call button positioned under your thumb OR even pre-dial 911. The moment they try to come back to YOU...CALL & scream bloody murder or blow a rape whistle. If you have an Apple Watch you can activate you SOS feature. If you do not disable it in 5 seconds police are comes to your location; you just have to keep fighting. Scratch the hell out of your attacker(s). Always take a chunk of them with you! Do not be afraid to bite them as well! Stay alive. 7. I personally recommend wearing thin barbed wire hidden within the hair pretty much in all styles. I also recommend barbed wire bracelets/anklets on both wrists and ankles (depends on the outfit). These are in addition to the more common use security items like pepper spray, whistles, several stiletto switch blades (keep one in your bra, and one in your waist and/or sock), and a gun.
Some very useful techniques against an attacker who is willing to wait for you to get in position and then tap out. Perhaps some aggressive role play and some actual physical contesting and or striking, hair pulling etc within the realms of reason obviously. But the training needs to be uncomfortable and attempt to replicate some of the emotion, intimidation, fear and adrenaline of an actual attack. Otherwise all the training in the world may mean nothing if the victim of the attack is too shocked and or terrified to employ it. Girls or boys doesn't matter, some muscle memory, some benefit to repetitive motions and actions will be there for sure. But most people who aren't around violence much simply freeze up when emotion and adrenaline surges. Most of the adrenaline goes into screaming and crying and if the situation is violent enough loss off bodily control, shakes, bowel movement etc. The ID-Inside-In Touch advice excellent and very beneficial. Thank you, some other great tips and advice in the comments here as well. worth checking out. appreciate your skills and techniques and 'safe' training in the dojo does have its place. But real world situations require real world practice. Again within reason. Never allow yourself to be abused in a class or training situation. But training that only focusses on physical techniques and ignores the mental and emotional component of attacks aren't as useful in real situations as those that do. My two cents, take it or leave it. All the best everyone, stay safe. peace and blessings
With practice or well learned task, It is very possible conquer any situation while your adrenaline is pumping through your veins. LOL Take my word for it.
My brother and I were taking Aikido and he would get aggravated because they never showed how it could be done in real life situations. That is what women need. Thank you for this.
I was assaulted in 2013, By my partner Whom broke my L3 Vertebrae in my back, arm, fractured my neck and ruptured my spleen and ever since always wanted to learn jujitsu to feel like i can protective myself and do things without that fear of being hurt again. I love this video i wish i could attend your workshop unfortunately i live in Australia . All the best # future goals . xx
Just awesome ... not just for women, but guys who are more mild mannered can get the same confidence and empowering mindset ...thank you GracieBreakdown
While sexual assaults on women by uber drivers are tragic and one is too many also please understand we uber drivers have a dangerous job too. We get put in sketchy situations quite often and were sometimes attacked by drunk passengers. A simple youtube search will prove that.
This is in no way discrediting drivers. It's reminding everybody to be safe. Nobody's going to randomly try to choke out their drivers if they're not being attacked (hopefully... you really never know with people nowadays).
Female Uber/Lyft driver here and I would love to see the reverse. I pick up single passenger men all the time, many weekend nights and most have been drinking. What does a driver do when assulted?
Eve, you're a badass and an inspiration. You - and the Gracie family as a whole - have shown me it's essential to be prepared in the NOW because when it's too late, it's too late. Wish I could make this self-defense course, but there's no Gracie facility in my area. So, I truly appreciate these free tips and videos!
What's wrong with these videos and teachings is that the person playing the attacker doesn't fight back. That's what I hate. If you are going to teach people how to defend themselves actually attack the person, give the victim an actual panicky feeling and give them the feeling of viciousness in the person. That's how you mentally prepare victims to defend themselves if necessary.
Jeff Bouchard yeh, there's only so far we can ever go in training. Not cool if you come back from training with broken nose and dislocated shoulder every time. Totally agree every technique needs repetition
These videos only show the technique of specific chokes, Gracie Combatives and many combat jiu-jitsu and self defense jiu-jitsu do emphasise that you practice real life scenarios and incorporate striking and how to deal with it. You can't just watch the UA-cam video and think that's it, this is additional content to add on to your fundamental training.
The purpose is to become familiar with the movements and technique. Position before submission. If you watch any mixed martial artist train for their upcoming fight, you will see the same exact thing. Nice and slow movements perfecting the technique to prepare for their upcoming, very real fight. They train this way for a reason.
Many thanks Gracie's, for releasing this for woman all around the world, to learn and unite against any for of sexual harassment, you are doing amazing things in this world through Bjj, I am no longer religious, but maybe not in this life as much, but in the next life, God will do good for you and your family and followers, keep promoting, and keep growing, it would be a pleasure to train with you one day! -Barzi
It might be more useful to go for the triangle and if you can pull it off lightning quick like Eve then it would probably be the best suited for the situation, especially in a tight space.
This is great. Most women probably think lying on their back with a man holding them down is the most helpless position they can be in. Nope, you can mess a person up from there.
6:35 to 6:41... Yes! I love that choke, especially. Love all of them, but the no-jacket version of the cross-choke is beautiful for the defender; bad for the sucker dumb enough to attack their would-be victim. Good looking out on the Uber awareness, Rener and Eve. Thanks.
Another good practice when you are with someone that is getting an Uber or even a taxi, is to take a picture of the license and the driver when they pick your friend up, especially if they are drunk. And be obvious about it... If you are alone, getting a ride, take pictures and txt the picture to your friend. A proper driver will not mind. Sounds embarrassing to do, but better to be safe. This is common practice in Asia.
I had a fake uber driver trick me into his car when my boyfriend ordered me one once, I'm grateful I had a tablet with data and charge and that I was noticeably sending maps screenshots of where we were to my partner, or else he definitely would not have drove me home. I didn't know any self defense techniques and escaped because I luckily got angry and argued against him when he tried to get me to answer questions that would isolate me "e.g do you know where we are, can you call people on your tablet, does it have internet?" And I scared him into just driving me to my boyfriend's. It was a terrifying experience for my bf and I so sadly we didn't get the licence plate before he took off in the dark. But now I am making sure I can defend myself physically if this ever happens again even though I'm highly cautious of it now.
For comments asking if the attacker has a weapon or taser, the victim would be screwed unless the victim also has a weapon like mace or a taser. When weapons are drawn, most martial art skills pretty much go out the window.
with confidence and get strongnes in ur body & try to get moore techniques in self defence , always woomens should think techniques is the best rescue for herself
my concern is that in those demonstrations it didn't look like the guy was resisting. I've taken self-defense before and was excited that I could get out of a choke hold when practicing with the instructor, but when a guy friend used REAL force on me to see what I learned, I couldn't get out of it. Then again, he was also expecting it, so perhaps the element of surprise with a combination of speed will do the trick.
Thank you for this valuable video. It was hard for me to watch yet I will continue To watch it to learn what I need to protect myself. Thank you again.
Thanks to Your videos Ive found the courage, confidence and inspiration to attend the selfdefence lessons in Poland. I havent picked the school yet, but Ive been checking terms and probably will have to take some individual lessons
Depends on what type of choke: air or blood. Air chokes may take however long they can hold their breath and blood choke should be seconds because you're cutting off the blood flow to the brain.
If you're in a car there would be hardly any room for the man to posture up for the slam, also the seats are usually soft so I doubt it would hurt much with the adrenaline
Hey...I am totally convinced jj can add in attacks, however I work for a hospital, where very violent attacks happen. I would love for you to put out stuff to keep nurses safe, something I can take back to my hospital. I get very sad coming into work, seeing my coworkers faces bruised and bloody.
hi Graciebreakdown I dislocated my shoulder a few years ago but its healed about 70%. is it a good idea to start a beginners course if at least for self confidence?
I'm starting BJJ soon (very excited) and I very much agree with what you're saying but I think that Uber and Lift etc. are way over rated. People want to take them because they don't want to ride in a yellow cab. They want to look good arriving to their destination in a Mercedes etc. but paying double the price of a cab and possibly putting yourself in a bad situation just isn't worth it. I use Yellow Cab and I've only had 1 bad experience. It was 3am, the driver was either drunk or on drugs. I had her pull over immediately and let me out. I did not pay her. I called Yellow Cab and told them what had happened and they made her stay there with me until another cab arrived. The new driver was great and I made it home safely.
I like the idea of the choke hold with the shirt but one thought that crossed my mind was, would your attacker attempt to bite your arm or shoulder in that case before you can get your arms back under to choke him? What would you do then?
With the third one, the triangle choke, how did Eve break the attackers grip on her throat? Was she using her legs to leverage the guy back so that he lost his grip?
I train at a place in Footscray called Resilience that teaches BJJ and Judo almost every week night. There are other places all around Melbourne that I can't name off the top of my head. But its a very welcoming environment with people of all shapes and sizes taking part :)
Just google "Brazillian Jujitsu Sydney" and go from there. Keep in mind you don't get as good at those chokes as the woman in the video overnight but don't let that put you off.
Been watching these. Noticed the when in the "final destination" or "guard" (never done BJJ) that you keep your attacker close? Not something I would have guessed but I see the real world implications.
I appreciate the lessons you teach, but us as passengers should start lobbying to Uber and Lyft to do background checks, fingerprinting, drug testing. i really believe this type of actions would weed out a lot of the possible sexual predators from the ride share industry.
How can these techniques be applied if there are more than one assilant and moreover they got guns or bladed weapons? I am very worried about these what if situations. Thank you.
jesus fucking christ that's terrible :O like damn she was assaulted and shot at and choked out, that's disgusting. hope that guy has a fun stay in prison
Im a blue belt and my only goal at BJJ is to teach Womans self defense. I live in Brazil, and here... Womans got atacked all the time... including one of my family... we are one of the most dangerous places for womans... every woman should know BJJ... and i will make my part in this,... great video Rener... Violence against woman must stop!
I've just done my sia training to be in the security industry are the laws different about choking in the us over it here in the UK it's illegal and an offence to be witness to seeing someone being choked like this?
you guys Rock... these videos are helping me out a lot in my Jujitsu training at Gracie Barra Dojo.... thank you guys....even the trainer noticed alot of improvement in my moves and chocks. ... I live in Lake Charles, LA... and it's start to get enjoyable..all because of y'all and these videos... thank you guys...Please keep these videos coming .....
People, be reminded this is a demo. If you are a woman or man getting assaulted, the aggressor will not let you do it so easily, make sure your practice these moves alot. Be ready and stay psychologically strong in order to pull these moves off.

Blue_Dream_ I like the Renzo Gracie Variation:
Choke them out; let them regain some sense and then choke them out again.
Maybe a third time.
A lot of respect for that guy for putting himself in pain for the benefit of others safety. He is saving lives. We need more people like him!
a choke doesn't hurt mate, just sends u into a new universe. BJJ doesn't hurt unless u get caught
+Jon Williams I take that back knee on belly can be BRUTAL
+Jon Williams Not so much hurt but having your windpipe crushed isn't far from uncomfortable...
Also here are some more tips!
-Take a picture of the car and license plate before getting into the car and then send those pictures to friends are family
-Do your best to pay attention to where you’re going
-It’s good to remember details of the driver (tattoos,jewelry,hair color, etc)
-sit right behind the driver
-also don’t get too close it gives you both personal space
-DO NOT share information with the driver like if you’re new in town or who you live with or if you live by yourself if the driver’s being a weirdo and asking too many questions just lie. Your life could be in danger tell them you’re meeting up with family or friends
-TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. If the driver is giving you weird or bad vibes just don’t get in the car, say you’ll get a different one or if you’re already in the car then immediately tell them to stop and drop you off right there
-BEFORE getting in make sure the picture and name of the driver match the driver on the app
Feel free to add more!

lol funny
Hope we get news like: number of rapes gets down to ZERO due to choke techniques. That would be cool. Great video, guys.

What a great idea! I'm going to call UBER to start practicing my chokes on the drivers!
Lol 😂😂

That cross choke with the t-shirt was super slick.
My trainer did that on me one time and I was like "gotdamn"
We use that all the time in judo! Really effective.
All you need is a lever you can grip. Rolling up the shirt is pretty slick.

Real men don't assault women. Real men protect women. Great video
I think these need to be demonstrated with more struggle and fighting back from the man. AND what about from a position from behind?
position from behind? Try turning around on your back?
Right, so easy do do in a confined space! So simple to type, just turn around and give your back and you'll have easy victory against your violent attacker.

One punch to the woman’s face in any attack situation and it’s game over. Attackers already know this so any simulation is badly flawed
1. Check the make, model and license plate.
Both Uber and Lyft provide the license plate for the car you called in the app. Before getting into the vehicle, check that the license plate number matches what you see in the app.
2. Ask the driver who they're picking up.
Rideshare drivers are given the name of their passenger upon accepting a ride. Before getting into the vehicle, ask the driver to confirm who they're there to pick up. If they don't have your name, it's likely not your ride.
3. Check that your driver matches the picture provided.
Uber and Lyft provide riders with a picture of the driver picking them up. Before getting into the vehicle, make sure the person behind the wheel is the person pictured in the app.
4. Find the child lock on the side of the back passenger door.
Before getting inside the vehicle, open the back passenger door and look for a lever, switch or twist lock near the side as pictured below. This is where the child safety lock is located on most vehicles.
5. Check to make sure the child safety lock is set to the unlock position.
An indentation above the child safety lock lever, switch, or twist lock on the side of the door will tell you which position is locked and which is unlocked. Set the switch to the unlock position.
For a twist lock, use any key or narrow flat surface to twist the lock to the unlock position. Remember, the person driving the vehicle won’t know you moved the lock unless they see or hear you do it. It could've been accidental. The driver could have had their kids dropped off at school this morning and they just didn't undo the lock. Do not excitedly react as there are reasons the lock could have been enabled. However, stay on guard at all times and have them drop you off NEAR where you actually want to go; not to your actual home.
6. If you have an iPhone, make sure that you are signed into your iCloud & your Photos are syncing to the cloud. Ben if you lose this battle you have a crystal clear and well lit set of Photos in the cloud even if they destroy your phone. When the driver arrives while it looks like you’re checking your messages discretely snap a series of photos of the driver, the car, AND the license plate as you check the back. Text ANYONE that you are leaving in this ride share driven by this person (give their name & photo). Do this messaging IN the car as they’ll be busy driving somewhere of the beaten path saying they know a short cut. Attach the photos then make sure to Lock your phone and keep your Emergency Call button positioned under your thumb OR even pre-dial 911. The moment they try to come back to YOU...CALL & scream bloody murder or blow a rape whistle. If you have an Apple Watch you can activate you SOS feature. If you do not disable it in 5 seconds police are comes to your location; you just have to keep fighting. Scratch the hell out of your attacker(s). Always take a chunk of them with you! Do not be afraid to bite them as well! Stay alive.
7. I personally recommend wearing thin barbed wire hidden within the hair pretty much in all styles. I also recommend barbed wire bracelets/anklets on both wrists and ankles (depends on the outfit). These are in addition to the more common use security items like pepper spray, whistles, several stiletto switch blades (keep one in your bra, and one in your waist and/or sock), and a gun.
love you guys for offering free classes to survivors of violence.
Some very useful techniques against an attacker who is willing to wait for you to get in position and then tap out. Perhaps some aggressive role play and some actual physical contesting and or striking, hair pulling etc within the realms of reason obviously. But the training needs to be uncomfortable and attempt to replicate some of the emotion, intimidation, fear and adrenaline of an actual attack. Otherwise all the training in the world may mean nothing if the victim of the attack is too shocked and or terrified to employ it. Girls or boys doesn't matter, some muscle memory, some benefit to repetitive motions and actions will be there for sure. But most people who aren't around violence much simply freeze up when emotion and adrenaline surges. Most of the adrenaline goes into screaming and crying and if the situation is violent enough loss off bodily control, shakes, bowel movement etc. The ID-Inside-In Touch advice excellent and very beneficial. Thank you, some other great tips and advice in the comments here as well. worth checking out. appreciate your skills and techniques and 'safe' training in the dojo does have its place. But real world situations require real world practice. Again within reason. Never allow yourself to be abused in a class or training situation. But training that only focusses on physical techniques and ignores the mental and emotional component of attacks aren't as useful in real situations as those that do. My two cents, take it or leave it. All the best everyone, stay safe. peace and blessings
So the "faketaxi" driver has a real problem huh?
HA
With practice or well learned task, It is very possible conquer any situation while your adrenaline is pumping through your veins. LOL Take my word for it.

The ladies in those videos appear to be willing participants
@North American UA-camr I don't think you got the joke
I just realized, having a older brother taught me some jiu-jitsu moves. I love what y'all are doing! Everyone should know how to defend themselves!
My brother and I were taking Aikido and he would get aggravated because they never showed how it could be done in real life situations. That is what women need. Thank you for this.
That's because Aikido doesn't work in real life situations.
I was assaulted in 2013, By my partner Whom broke my L3 Vertebrae in my back, arm, fractured my neck and ruptured my spleen and ever since always wanted to learn jujitsu to feel like i can protective myself and do things without that fear of being hurt again. I love this video i wish i could attend your workshop unfortunately i live in Australia . All the best # future goals . xx
Just awesome ... not just for women, but guys who are more mild mannered can get the same confidence and empowering mindset ...thank you GracieBreakdown
While sexual assaults on women by uber drivers are tragic and one is too many also please understand we uber drivers have a dangerous job too. We get put in sketchy situations quite often and were sometimes attacked by drunk passengers. A simple youtube search will prove that.
I agree, also most of these incidents occur ith FAKE drivers such as this one.
Stay safe then brother. Bring a "little friend" with you under your seat.
This is in no way discrediting drivers. It's reminding everybody to be safe. Nobody's going to randomly try to choke out their drivers if they're not being attacked (hopefully... you really never know with people nowadays).
My dad always told me “NEVER get in the front seat of a taxi!” it brooks a familiarity that should not exist.
I love the importance they always give to "security" and "survival" and similar concepts, in contrast to "cause hurt", "punches", ...
Eve is excellent! Super impressive, so slick! And Rener is the man! : )
Female Uber/Lyft driver here and I would love to see the reverse. I pick up single passenger men all the time, many weekend nights and most have been drinking. What does a driver do when assulted?
Eve, you're a badass and an inspiration. You - and the Gracie family as a whole - have shown me it's essential to be prepared in the NOW because when it's too late, it's too late. Wish I could make this self-defense course, but there's no Gracie facility in my area. So, I truly appreciate these free tips and videos!
Find a reputable jujutsu school near you. Doesn’t have to be Gracie approved.
What's wrong with these videos and teachings is that the person playing the attacker doesn't fight back. That's what I hate. If you are going to teach people how to defend themselves actually attack the person, give the victim an actual panicky feeling and give them the feeling of viciousness in the person. That's how you mentally prepare victims to defend themselves if necessary.
Jeff Bouchard yeh, there's only so far we can ever go in training. Not cool if you come back from training with broken nose and dislocated shoulder every time. Totally agree every technique needs repetition
These videos only show the technique of specific chokes, Gracie Combatives and many combat jiu-jitsu and self defense jiu-jitsu do emphasise that you practice real life scenarios and incorporate striking and how to deal with it. You can't just watch the UA-cam video and think that's it, this is additional content to add on to your fundamental training.
The purpose is to become familiar with the movements and technique. Position before submission. If you watch any mixed martial artist train for their upcoming fight, you will see the same exact thing. Nice and slow movements perfecting the technique to prepare for their upcoming, very real fight. They train this way for a reason.
mentally protect victims? oh boy
They're are demonstrating TECHNIQUES not fights
Many thanks Gracie's, for releasing this for woman all around the world, to learn and unite against any for of sexual harassment, you are doing amazing things in this world through Bjj, I am no longer religious, but maybe not in this life as much, but in the next life, God will do good for you and your family and followers, keep promoting, and keep growing, it would be a pleasure to train with you one day!
-Barzi
rideshares need panic buttons on apps for drivers and passengers if someone is being violated so Uber can notify law enforcement and give location.
I like this shorter video style. Good for when I don't have time to fully watch a 20+ minute breakdown
I never thought to use the whole shirt to substitute for a strong collar
North American UA-camr maybe, but the collar choke has the advantage of being useful when he's up, if he's stronger, you might not get the guillotine
It might be more useful to go for the triangle and if you can pull it off lightning quick like Eve then it would probably be the best suited for the situation, especially in a tight space.
They're such an inspirational power couple I love them
The worst predators are the ones who don't verbally respond.
Nice job guys, appreciate your willingness to help teach, even if someone may not have the money to pay! Great family!
I would be really interested in seeing this exact same video with the attacker resisting
i am amazed how detailed he knows about these 6 seconds...
Thank you Rener and Eve. Another great vid. The class is going to be great.
This is great. Most women probably think lying on their back with a man holding them down is the most helpless position they can be in. Nope, you can mess a person up from there.
6:35 to 6:41... Yes! I love that choke, especially. Love all of them, but the no-jacket version of the cross-choke is beautiful for the defender; bad for the sucker dumb enough to attack their would-be victim.
Good looking out on the Uber awareness, Rener and Eve. Thanks.
I want to thank you two for showing women this. I learned a lot watching this video
Excellent video. I think a lot of the techniques shown should be taught to women in junior high and high school.
3 chokes? 6 seconds each? 666??? 😨😨😨 naw I'm playing lmao 😂 but cool video, just wish I had a sparring partner 😩
get urself tinder mate
kaan yaris lol I don't mean like that, lile I legit wanna learn how to fight
Jaime Hilaire sparring partner is easy go make friends who love crazy shit, and challenge them.
Another good practice when you are with someone that is getting an Uber or even a taxi, is to take a picture of the license and the driver when they pick your friend up, especially if they are drunk. And be obvious about it...
If you are alone, getting a ride, take pictures and txt the picture to your friend. A proper driver will not mind. Sounds embarrassing to do, but better to be safe. This is common practice in Asia.
I had a fake uber driver trick me into his car when my boyfriend ordered me one once, I'm grateful I had a tablet with data and charge and that I was noticeably sending maps screenshots of where we were to my partner, or else he definitely would not have drove me home. I didn't know any self defense techniques and escaped because I luckily got angry and argued against him when he tried to get me to answer questions that would isolate me "e.g do you know where we are, can you call people on your tablet, does it have internet?" And I scared him into just driving me to my boyfriend's. It was a terrifying experience for my bf and I so sadly we didn't get the licence plate before he took off in the dark. But now I am making sure I can defend myself physically if this ever happens again even though I'm highly cautious of it now.
Please do Justin Bieber fight breakdown
This deserves a million likes and a unicorn!!
lol
Art of street work out yes do it!!!!!!!!!!
For comments asking if the attacker has a weapon or taser, the victim would be screwed unless the victim also has a weapon like mace or a taser. When weapons are drawn, most martial art skills pretty much go out the window.
Megumi have you heard about Krav Maga? They teach you to defend against weapons
This was SO BADASS. Thank you guys!
This is really nice and informative. Please also talk about how to handle a situation where there are more than one assailants involved.
with confidence and get strongnes in ur body & try to get moore techniques in self defence , always woomens should think techniques is the best rescue for herself
my concern is that in those demonstrations it didn't look like the guy was resisting. I've taken self-defense before and was excited that I could get out of a choke hold when practicing with the instructor, but when a guy friend used REAL force on me to see what I learned, I couldn't get out of it. Then again, he was also expecting it, so perhaps the element of surprise with a combination of speed will do the trick.
Thank you for this valuable video. It was hard for me to watch yet I will continue To watch it to learn what I need to protect myself. Thank you again.
Next video is gonna be: Aliens and how to arm-bar them!
Ayyy lmao.
That would be cool-"Xenomorphs and how to choke them!" ;)
the green or the brown ones ?
good idea!...countless abductions occur around the world from ufo's/e.t.'s. good lookn out.
+jayme pereira nunes (jayminho) LMAO!
hey ladies do not let go the choke until the bad guy goes to sleep.....run away call the police!
:)
Thanks to Your videos Ive found the courage, confidence and inspiration to attend the selfdefence lessons in Poland. I havent picked the school yet, but Ive been checking terms and probably will have to take some individual lessons
Hey everyone... how long does it take for a choke to render someone unconscious!?
6 seconds if it's applied correctly.
Are you certain? I think he said it in the video about 9 times but I can't be sure.
+Chaos Omega lmao
+Chaos Omega
Different for everyone.
Depends on what type of choke: air or blood. Air chokes may take however long they can hold their breath and blood choke should be seconds because you're cutting off the blood flow to the brain.
This will be my exact response when people ask why I have glass breaker tactical pens as an EDC.
More collabs with Eve! She's an inspiration to female Jiu Jitsu students everywhere! :)
Extremely informative and very helpful video. Thank you 😊
6:09 what would stop a guy from lifting her up from the seat and slamming her head into the ceiling or window?
i'm no expert but aren't you in a very big risk of being slammed if you try to triangle an aggressive male as a smaller woman?
If you're in a car there would be hardly any room for the man to posture up for the slam, also the seats are usually soft so I doubt it would hurt much with the adrenaline
in car yeah but the title was every woman should know
What...?
Hey...I am totally convinced jj can add in attacks, however I work for a hospital, where very violent attacks happen. I would love for you to put out stuff to keep nurses safe, something I can take back to my hospital. I get very sad coming into work, seeing my coworkers faces bruised and bloody.
I am curious about the cross choke. When doing this choke do you want to draw you elbows down like in the cross choke from your guard?
Where are all the locations of your academy's only in California or in other states?
hi Graciebreakdown I dislocated my shoulder a few years ago but its healed about 70%. is it a good idea to start a beginners course if at least for self confidence?
I need to learn these so that I can choke out my husband everytime he tells me 'no'.
It is truly incredible what you are doing. Keep up the hard work. Stay safe, be safe and forever vigilant.
I'm starting BJJ soon (very excited) and I very much agree with what you're saying but I think that Uber and Lift etc. are way over rated. People want to take them because they don't want to ride in a yellow cab. They want to look good arriving to their destination in a Mercedes etc. but paying double the price of a cab and possibly putting yourself in a bad situation just isn't worth it. I use Yellow Cab and I've only had 1 bad experience. It was 3am, the driver was either drunk or on drugs. I had her pull over immediately and let me out. I did not pay her. I called Yellow Cab and told them what had happened and they made her stay there with me until another cab arrived. The new driver was great and I made it home safely.
how much do the classes cost, are there any classes in west Virginia
I like the idea of the choke hold with the shirt but one thought that crossed my mind was, would your attacker attempt to bite your arm or shoulder in that case before you can get your arms back under to choke him? What would you do then?
With the third one, the triangle choke, how did Eve break the attackers grip on her throat? Was she using her legs to leverage the guy back so that he lost his grip?
Great video . Love that you offer free classes .
The second one worked very good, my bf and i always are figuring out who's stronger and I tried this and was actually very easy! :)
Are there any "Classes" in Melbourne Australia?
I train at a place in Footscray called Resilience that teaches BJJ and Judo almost every week night. There are other places all around Melbourne that I can't name off the top of my head. But its a very welcoming environment with people of all shapes and sizes taking part :)
Same for Sydney? :D
Just google "Brazillian Jujitsu Sydney" and go from there. Keep in mind you don't get as good at those chokes as the woman in the video overnight but don't let that put you off.
Yeah i know there would be BJJ but i rather train by Gracie JJ.
Yes! Check our website!
Do you have anything going on in Chicago, Illinois on July 16? I'd like to go!
They should have added that it's okay to choke the attacker unconscious. The average person probably will wait for the tap lol.
I want to go to these classes
Been watching these. Noticed the when in the "final destination" or "guard" (never done BJJ) that you keep your attacker close? Not something I would have guessed but I see the real world implications.
I appreciate the lessons you teach, but us as passengers should start lobbying to Uber and Lyft to do background checks, fingerprinting, drug testing. i really believe this type of actions would weed out a lot of the possible sexual predators from the ride share industry.
Any of the free seminars in Indiana? I'd love to help spread the word.
How can these techniques be applied if there are more than one assilant and moreover they got guns or bladed weapons? I am very worried about these what if situations. Thank you.
jesus fucking christ that's terrible :O like damn she was assaulted and shot at and choked out, that's disgusting. hope that guy has a fun stay in prison
Im a blue belt and my only goal at BJJ is to teach Womans self defense. I live in Brazil, and here... Womans got atacked all the time... including one of my family... we are one of the most dangerous places for womans... every woman should know BJJ... and i will make my part in this,... great video Rener... Violence against woman must stop!
Great job informing others! Be safe and keep up the fantastic work you do!
8:16 Triangle Choke-gasm?
Thrilla from Manila. i saw it😂😂
10:46 hahaha that lose hand! It made her smile too :P
Thanks for putting the time and effort into these videos :)
I've just done my sia training to be in the security industry are the laws different about choking in the us over it here in the UK it's illegal and an offence to be witness to seeing someone being choked like this?
shared this! It's amazing that you guys are offering this free seminar 🤓👍💕💕
Was wondering if these moves would be possible for someone that wears only skirts? I don't wear pants, only knee to floor length dresses and skirts.
big fan of your videos,thanks for all the time you put in.
Just an outsider looking in but that 2nd technique with the shirt seems like the most difficult. Several steps with the hands and placement.
Did anyone notice Rener remembering he had a hand at 2:29 ?
This was absolutely fantastic... Well done guys
you guys Rock... these videos are helping me out a lot in my Jujitsu training at Gracie Barra Dojo.... thank you guys....even the trainer noticed alot of improvement in my moves and chocks. ... I live in Lake Charles, LA... and it's start to get enjoyable..all because of y'all and these videos... thank you guys...Please keep these videos coming .....
Holy shit! Eve is hella quick with the transitions
Yeah shes lightning quick with the Triangle ive never seen someone pull it off that quickly.
Good stuff as always! Keep up the good work!
The guillotine at 5:30 - it looks like it isn't necessary to get up, what am I missing?
