The fact that you're humble enough to admit that even with all of your experience you don't know everything earns you a sub. I wish more "combat" instructors had that attitude.
There is a video on youtube about a molester harassing a guy's son, while waiting in a line for a burrito. And trying to defend his son, the dad got beaten by the molester.
when I was young and dumb, I used to end up in street and school fights a lot. when I started wrestling i found myself naturally doing a duck under toward towards the opponents punching hand (of course they were throwing hay makers). I found a lot of success in street fight with that, and I didn't get in as much trouble because it ended things so quickly without me having to throw a punch. Of course wrestling eventually gave me the discipline and confidence to stop getting in fights.
You just got a new sub. The moment I saw that you are going to actually do the experiment, showing both success and failures, I knew that your content is worthy. Now I actually have some interest in grappling (this comes from a kickboxer), keep doing a honest job man - it's a pleasure to watch and somewhat practical, thank you.
I'm only 3 minutes into this video and the presenter says he doesn't know everything. Realism versus modesty versus conceit. That's a solid comment. Good on you adapt and overcome
Finally someone who is not overly focussed on weak locks. I've been in some weird fights before and people on drugs or drunken people do not stop if you apply a lock they keep going. If someone graps you're jacket or sweather just do a double overhook or underhook. Or duck under. Works perfect. 90% of self defence will get you smashed in real situations. Because they never tell you a person keeps trying and coming back. They never train in a realistic way where you get multiple attacks like a real sparring/grappling situation. So finally something usefull here👌
Congratulations for your work. Thank you very much. I'm Ju Jitsu, Judo and Self Defense teacher and I really find your approach: realistic, direct and simple. And so on very effective. Great. Keep safe and healthy. Blessings from Spain.
I love that going live, you use techniques you hadn't thought of ahead of time. Plus, arm toss and hip toss! There's a reason you teach them to everybody, even if it's low percentage later on.
@@TeachMeGrappling I didn't realize how lucky I was to actually see Brian do a flying armbar at Angel City Fitness! All these years later he's still one of the best instructors I ever had!
Thats a difficult move to pull off. But absolutely correct. I was going to go for the V hand attack where when he grabs you you use the area between your thumb and index finger and jab sharply at the base of the thumb releasing the grip.
I absolutely admire your approach to really pressure test your ideas and to see what actually works against a resisting non cooperative opponent! Well done!
I worked as a doorman for over 16 yrs and I was a Royal Marine unarmed combat instructor. I fully agree with the wrist lock thing. I encountered lots of violence. Never once managed to get a wrist lock on. It’s easy for the Police to tell you that’s how to do it. However I also did not have CS gas, a taser, an asp Baton, quick cuffs and a radio to call for stacks of back up.
Please people go to Patreon to support this channel, at least with a dollar by month , this is the best channel that teach for free the best Jiu-Jitsu ever . I don't want that this channel disappear. Please . Thank you coach , for your hard work and dedication to spread the Jiu-Jitsu all-over the world
This is outstanding on a lot of levels. The situation is common in street attacks; it shows that situations are fluid; and kudos for doing it in a lab environment to show the reality of mat to street application and that even teachers are always learning. Love it! Great channel.
That turning around with the first response is good for getting a look around you in a street situation. Where are the others? Where is my exit? Weapons I can improvise? You can't assume that your one-on-one is going to stay that way. The options that don't involve you going down are better.
I like this guy's honesty and being realistic. No point in being the, if guy does that, I do this b.s. Street fights are wildly unpredictable. Good for him being honest and being practical.
I loved your video. It gave me some new techniques to practice. I came from a system geared for the street. There are no rules when someone attacks you, throat, groin, eyes.
Good stuff Coach Brian! This is what I call my "Hockey Fight" series. All sorts of great drills from here! Grabbing the collar when striking was a tactic I adopted in grade school and it has worked great for me when "fighting for my lunch money." Can you cover some strategies for ground n pound defense? I'd love to see your perspective coach!
This was gold. Realistic, raw, fight science experiment. No doubt the over hook spin arm crank and the spin into head lock and throw were the best techniques. Perhaps going for a Muay Thai plum clinch might also work well. Great demo fellas. Your channel is awesome coach.
the "old school judo" standing armlock (waki gatame) is a fantastic one. Dudes used to get snapped up with that all the time when it was legal for competition. I mean you show it nicey-nice with that guy, but you just turn quick and crank that arm and that's it.
We cover these grabs in our Gracie Jiu-jitsu curriculum. Once concept we discuss is not going to ground willingly as you don't know if that guy has friend ready to kick you in the head. You are 100 percent correct to make your self-defense dynamic and pressure test it. He could switch grips, he could pull and push you, punch, kick, lots of scenarios that can be worked in. Glad you are experimenting with this.
This is a really great way to do a video on self defense. It would be insightful to see them regularly. It demonstrates how unpredictable difficult to control a real world no rules confrontation can be, even for the most experienced and skilled of fighters. This is the main thing the self defence crowd need to learn. Doing these drills also allows solutions to be discovered.
Interesting how times have changed--this "hockey technique" was how I was taught how to fight as a boy in the 70's. If you look at movies or tv shows from the 70's you'll see one guy grab the other guy by the front of his shirt and hit him with his other hand all the while never letting go of his shirt. I was taught to either grab the front of his shirt and start pummeling or grab his hair and start pummeling. The hair was much more painful for the other dude and you often had a fist full of hair when the guy pulled his head back. It was a double whammy. Being a lifelong ice hockey fan I've learned over the years that there's a technique involved when fighting this way BUT the technique only works IF the other dude happens to grab YOUR shirt as well. In other words both of you have a hold of each other's shirt. If only one guy has a hold of a shirt THIS is the guy that has the advantage. If YOU have a grab of the shirt then take care of business quickly. If you're the one with the shirt grabbed YOU'RE fucked and you better grab his shirt if you can or listen to these guy in this video or you're going to end up coming in second place in your fight. Best case scenario KEEP from getting your shirt grabbed unless you understand the basics of hockey fighting--these guys can switch hands and throw the other way, too--so you need to beware. Best case scenario is when you grab the shirt or hair and the other guy has no fucking clue as to what to do. Their first reaction is to grab your wrist you're grabbing them with all the while you're punching them. Don't worry---it's a short fight.
I live this! I'm tired of learning tournament stuff. Thats gonna get me killed on the street. I dont care about belts anymore. I want to experiment with real life combat just like this. Stuff you thought would work didn't but you found stuff that did work. BTW that standing arm lock is the first thing I learned in jiu-jitsu. Its part of the Gracie combatives which are all basic self defense techniques.
Ive been binge watching all your videos and honestly, ive seen plenty of self defense channels like graciebreakdown, stephan kesting etc which are super helpful but man you're just on another level. Such intricate details. You're underrated AF. God bless
Hey, this was great! As a BJJ white belt, I often think about those methods, but there's nothing like watching realistic trial and error to discover what works and what's fluff.
This show's that a professional MMA fighter and coach, cannot get it right all the time. He knew exactly what the adversary was going to do, and at a low tempo. He knew the drill he wanted to show, and still couldn't get it. So it will be so much harder for anyone else to pull off these moves in a real life, hight stress and dangerous situation. Where it is much faster, harder and more violent. I train street MMA 4 day's a week, and I work as a bouncer. There is very little drills if learned that I actually use. It is mostly grips from a scramble, and end up in a move that is a cross between 2 or 3 things i have worked on. But it is all in there somewhere. Great video, thank you!
If I ever see either one of you guys pumping gas at Starbucks or anywhere else, I'm not sure if I should run, or say "Hi" or laugh or what... Very educational and entertaining. Thank You.
Appreciated. Very courageous from you to do this kind of test. Could you Please test the same but with the left grabing hand thumb down (so inversed). Easier position for the striker... thanks
Lots of good options given. Your videos always get me thinking. I would only say going to ground in a street fight is a bad idea. Does depend on the situation however it’s not often you are dealing with one opponent so keeping on your feet is always the best option. My personal favorite is to pin the hand to the jacket with same side hand roll in towards the attacker with a elbow to the face locking down over the arm . followed by rear elbows to the face without releasing the pinned hand. Keeping a 90 degree angle to the attacker so the back can’t be taken. It is high level response and would require an assessment as it may land you in prison. But very affective
Not necessarily, if you are a wrestler/judoka and are good at takedowns, taking someone to the ground isn’t as bad. You can end a fight or at least stop them momentarily with a throw or takedown and then get in a dominant top position like knee on belly or side mount. That way you can look to see who’s around while controlling the person and react quick in case there are others. I’ve even seen police officers do this effectively (when trained well). It’s when you are in the bottom position that you are vulnerable to getting jumped cause you won’t be able to react like get up and run quickly enough. That’s why it’s good to train in wrestling or judo and not just bjj. Still it doesn’t hurt to learn striking also.
Agreed you can go to ground if that’s what your comfortable with. Police are usually working with a partner who will follow up and the intent is to subdue and arrest the person so they will usually pin. Like it says in the video you will do what you train in a self defense situation. It is simply my preference to stay standing. I will usually finish with a throw or take down going to knee on belly or back for control but never choose to ground or mount. FYI I am from Australia and our laws are not the best for self defence. If I break a dudes jaw for grabbing my shirt then I am the one in trouble. Unless there is multiple attacker’s.
On the street you never know how things are going to go down. Many people who practice Karate or other similar arts are incorporating Judo and Jujitsu into their training regimens and vice versa. Great video. 👍
Really goo video. I like the exploration of the theories in pressure testing. Some other ideas are the extremely violent yet effective things like stomping on the knee and striking the elbow of the grabbing arm. You can also cover up then strike the grabbing arm with your forearm of your opposite arm while twisting downwards to throw the guy. Great stuff. Thanks
Thank you!!! love the live-thinking format. Please do again with assailant grabbing wrist. MANY assaults with a knife or fist occur when the assailant has a hold of a wrist or sleeve.
Thank you for saying it! Mirroring your opponent and relying on brute force is not martial arts! It's all about using less energy to accomplish what you want, not engaging in the fight your opponent wants.
You have an arm crank as well with your overhook, as seen in Tyson vs Botha or Jones vs I don't remember. Basically get the overhook, and twist your torso to bend his elbow the wrong way like in an americana
@@TeachMeGrappling I love these types of videos where you're problem solving with your skill set, doing stuff that's a bit different. I just think playing with the knife would be very interesting to see what you would come up with... think of the views...
The double underhook looks like the most affective because it's easy to do, hard for them to avoid and even if they do will leave the open to more grappling techniques. The easier the technique, probably the best to go for because when it happens you don't have time to think.
Do the haymaker right into overhook and spin out like you guys were talking about... but as you do it, grab his wrist with your left to keep his arm in position and cinch down with your armpit on the overhook. When you spin out he won't be able to "let go" to avoid his elbow breaking.
Thank you John for your time...again thank you coach for your time...your style is realistic....that's why I prefer your teaching...and btw recover and get well soon...coach and John..😁..👍👍👍💪🙏
Shit thaat was hilarious when he says, 'how you gonna stop thatt???'. Lol. Just for these vibe I'd go roll with these guys. Bad thing I live very far away.
My foundation martial art is a lifetime of karate. Not what you may think of as today's karate, but old time real "blood and guts karate," so I admit I was skeptical of what you were going to say (I need to say that you are my go to site for the grappling I am doing now). But no, I really like what you are doing and how you presented it. I can only add, that even though he may control a bit with a grab, it occupies one of his weapons. All of yours are available. Primarily, if someone even reaches to grab you, they are going to punch you, so strike them immediately before they can secure the grab. Also consider using elbows, especially a 6 to 12 right up the center as most people swing wide punches. Then there are low kicks, and knees and head butts from close distance. Lastly, don't forget to account for their hands in case they have a hidden weapon. Thank you!
the thing is that people are going to use this either to keep you away or to keep you close, depending on whatever they think is worse for you at the moment, so it's not always a safe assumption that all of your weapons are available (from a range and/or balance perspective). If you ever get some time to kill, get a judoka to lock you out with just a basic collar grab and try to get past it. It's surprisingly difficult.
One thing to also consider is getting too close for either also risks a knee to the groin since this is a street fight where there aren’t any rules. Just my 2 cents.
Nice video. I appreciate the honesty at the beginning. A fundamental truth of martial arts in real life scenarios: any moves you've been taught as counters to specific situations are the first to be forgotten, along with 90% of any moves that aren't well ingrained in muscle memory. Being surprised and punched in the face certainly doesn't help. Lol My instructor always said to keep it simple. Get off center if you can. Crowd if you can. Grab if you can. Strike at poorly defended areas if you can. Then figure it out from there. Lol In this case , that could translate any of the following: attack the elbow of the grabbing arm, kicking his knee, trapping his arm and pivoting on your back foot to off balance him probably taking the fight to the ground, etc. You never really can tell what will work until you're in it.
Great vid, thanks guys. Bottom line like you said reaction will depend on your training and background. Another very important key is your opponents advantages over you like, reach, strength, and height. Also its far more serious if the person doesn’t give warning or telegraph their intentions and just initiates attacking by surprise, so situational awareness is the very first thing to practice. 🙏
From my experience in boxing I think double overhooks are the best for stopping punches, with that said I don't know any takedowns from the double overhook possession so I should definitely invest some time in that
Great Video! It is crazy how many karate kata techniques I can see here! I think grappling focused martial arts should work more often with the threat of punches and kicks... the same within kick and punch based martial arts, they need to incorporate grappling and grappling defence! => at least if you are interested in self defence
That's why I've stopped wearing clothes when I'm outside.
Yep, and lather on lots of oil all over my body before I leave my home.
@Techy Nomad nah, that would be nuts.
Nutty Organic Peanut butter is a visual wonder. Double takes from the on lookers.

No other self defense video ever covered what to do when attacked while ordering a burrito.

I think this is where judo throws come into play.
And the grip break which should be relatively easy for a judoka.

Doing things live I feel like is the only way to know what works.
This really is the best martial arts channel....I learnt so much! and pressure testing at the end!!

Thank you!!! love the live-thinking format. Please do again with assailant grabbing wrist. MANY assaults with a knife or fist occur when the assailant has a hold of a wrist or sleeve.
Thank you for saying it! Mirroring your opponent and relying on brute force is not martial arts! It's all about using less energy to accomplish what you want, not engaging in the fight your opponent wants.
Subscribed. No bullshido here, great content and love the realistic tests.
This attack is especially annoying if someone has a much longer reach than yourself. Can you also do video on the double collar grab? Thanks coach!
@Semper Fi that's what I do, use my legs.
Double collar grab just pummel inside control and then you can go to osoto gari
uploaded on my Birthday... really nice! Keep going
You have an arm crank as well with your overhook, as seen in Tyson vs Botha or Jones vs I don't remember. Basically get the overhook, and twist your torso to bend his elbow the wrong way like in an americana
Nice work 👍now can you do one with a knife, just for kicks
🤣.... that would be a fun experiment... with a rubber knife. 🙈 🏃
@@TeachMeGrappling yes, make sure it's a rubber or foam knife 😜
@@TeachMeGrappling I love these types of videos where you're problem solving with your skill set, doing stuff that's a bit different. I just think playing with the knife would be very interesting to see what you would come up with... think of the views...
It’s a little alarming lol that was funny. This was great and lol in many ways. Thanks!!
The double underhook looks like the most affective because it's easy to do, hard for them to avoid and even if they do will leave the open to more grappling techniques. The easier the technique, probably the best to go for because when it happens you don't have time to think.
Wow!!!! One of the most informative video in self defense ever!!!!!
I love the realistic street approach, that's real life. There's a lot of psychos out there. Thank you for the video!!!
flying waki gatame. may not be legal in ijf/usja comps but many of us are trying to stay true to the jj roots. love your channel!
Do the haymaker right into overhook and spin out like you guys were talking about... but as you do it, grab his wrist with your left to keep his arm in position and cinch down with your armpit on the overhook. When you spin out he won't be able to "let go" to avoid his elbow breaking.
Great video coach!! Love the realistic pressure testing. A couple times it looked like you were in a good position to execute a Judo throw.
Here you go Ashem... now shut up! ... jk 😜... I know, I know... I didn't do the mount position collar grab!! 🙈

As always realistic humble advice thanks for your channel
I like the pressure testing. It's extremely important
My foundation martial art is a lifetime of karate. Not what you may think of as today's karate, but old time real "blood and guts karate," so I admit I was skeptical of what you were going to say (I need to say that you are my go to site for the grappling I am doing now). But no, I really like what you are doing and how you presented it. I can only add, that even though he may control a bit with a grab, it occupies one of his weapons. All of yours are available. Primarily, if someone even reaches to grab you, they are going to punch you, so strike them immediately before they can secure the grab. Also consider using elbows, especially a 6 to 12 right up the center as most people swing wide punches. Then there are low kicks, and knees and head butts from close distance. Lastly, don't forget to account for their hands in case they have a hidden weapon. Thank you!
the thing is that people are going to use this either to keep you away or to keep you close, depending on whatever they think is worse for you at the moment, so it's not always a safe assumption that all of your weapons are available (from a range and/or balance perspective). If you ever get some time to kill, get a judoka to lock you out with just a basic collar grab and try to get past it. It's surprisingly difficult.
One thing to also consider is getting too close for either also risks a knee to the groin since this is a street fight where there aren’t any rules. Just my 2 cents.
Just subbed! Loved this breakdown! I have no jiu-jutsu knowledge! This is so cool.
Ralph Gracie...good one!
Knowing some background into the situation with Flavio, I stand with men of honor...I stand with Ralph.👊💪☝️🙏
I stand with flavio
Hey coach...love your vids...old school bklyn boy here. It's a 2pc w/a biscuit lol...
A day in a Starbuck. "I like the aa..grande..latte.."then got hit with non stop punches. 😂
Nice video. I appreciate the honesty at the beginning. A fundamental truth of martial arts in real life scenarios: any moves you've been taught as counters to specific situations are the first to be forgotten, along with 90% of any moves that aren't well ingrained in muscle memory. Being surprised and punched in the face certainly doesn't help. Lol
My instructor always said to keep it simple. Get off center if you can. Crowd if you can. Grab if you can. Strike at poorly defended areas if you can. Then figure it out from there. Lol
In this case , that could translate any of the following: attack the elbow of the grabbing arm, kicking his knee, trapping his arm and pivoting on your back foot to off balance him probably taking the fight to the ground, etc.
You never really can tell what will work until you're in it.
Great vid, thanks guys. Bottom line like you said reaction will depend on your training and background. Another very important key is your opponents advantages over you like, reach, strength, and height. Also its far more serious if the person doesn’t give warning or telegraph their intentions and just initiates attacking by surprise, so situational awareness is the very first thing to practice. 🙏
From my experience in boxing I think double overhooks are the best for stopping punches, with that said I don't know any takedowns from the double overhook possession so I should definitely invest some time in that
Great Video! It is crazy how many karate kata techniques I can see here! I think grappling focused martial arts should work more often with the threat of punches and kicks... the same within kick and punch based martial arts, they need to incorporate grappling and grappling defence! => at least if you are interested in self defence
Could you turn into the collar grip and use his grip to hip toss over that side.
You have a great program here. Very realistic.
