I'm glad to see the self-defense aspect of BJJ being recognized because that's what the Art was made for. The sporting aspect is fine for those who like competition but it was made for self defense 1st
Studied this one extensively back in spring 2015 due to an upcoming Black Belt test. Super helpful, thank you for posting. Covers a big chunk of Self-Defense for BJJ. Great Job!!
Nice demonstration,this is what we will use for our "Night of Marital Arts" Big Thanks from MMA Club "Hazard" Love and Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegowina. Keep up with the good work ;)
Thanks for this demo we do some similiar to this but you have some nice simple effective ones from front grabs and chokes im going to show my Sensei. The weapons we have slightly different blocks incase it goes wrong but i like the finishes we do it the same with arm up back but then fore it off and take them down like that...Keep them comin..x
Nice demo guys... pity you don't see enough of this in a modern JJ schools these days... Its all sport.. Sport is one aspect... you have to do all the stand up aggression self defence and the VT stuff aswell.
Judo adopted Aikido via the Goshin Jutsu kata during the 1950's... Kyokushin did similar in the 1960's... Krav in the 70's... it was just a matter of time before BJJ took on some Aikido too It gets no love from the MMA community but the grandmasters add it to the MMA-art anyway. It's like the broccoli of martial arts... the experts think you should eat your broccoli.
@@asteriskcolon This kata was already part of traditional Ju-Jitsu, Kano whom taught Maeda was a teacher of koryu Kito Ryu and Tenjin Shin'yo Ryu styles in which he used for the foundation of the Nihondesu Kodokan Judo. In other words, the traditional Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is closer to the Judo created by Kano than the Judo that we known nowadays.
And i rspect for gracie from braziel were in aceh has a good two player fooball from braziel too.its so wonderfull a lil abit knowing about brazil.thank you gracies.bless youl all the times bros...
I value BJJ ground techniques but I have doubts regarding some standing techniques shown in this video. For instance: At 0:39 the final position seems fine if you bring directly your opponent onto the mat by slipping down your left leg (basically pushing him down with your body). However, if you remain in a standing position as in the video then the lock is applied but not "locked", your opponent can get out of it simply by rolling on the floor, which seems even pretty natural to do since it is encouraged by the armlock (bending him towards the ground). Then it's another story and the control is gone. In this position, I learnt to get my thigh right against his face (which prevent the rolling escape after which one can feel very dumb...). At 0:54 it's clear you have trouble applying the lock and I humbly think the reason is that the foot work is missing. In this position, I'm pretty sure it would be smoother if you had a 180° movement with your right leg: you end up side to side and you perfectly place to easily push his elbow up without effort (plus, you don't stand in his line of attack). I don't try to belittle you, I don't have the level nor the ego to do so. I appreciate that you made such video (thank you) and I only try to make a constructive comment. :)
This is waki gatame from Judo - you are correct, you can absolutely drag your opponent to the floor instead of applying the lock from a standing position. If your opponent is hyper-aggressive or has a knife, by all means, drop to the floor and break the arm. You should be side to side in the standing americana lock, yes.
My Karate dojo uses a lot of these techniques (maybe 70% or more of the ones shown), or maybe a variation of them. But we're a more traditional dojo that uses Okinawan Karate (not to be confused with that "sport" karate nonsense). It's cool to see how techniques cross over systems! Nicely done.
It is that also, but these are absolutely Gracie Self defense techniques and depending on your school you may be tested on this exact list. That's the reason I am here, in fact.
@@jjs3890 less than 100%. I trained Japanese Jujutsu for a few (~3) years and then BJJ for a few years after (3+) These are modified to be more relevant to the modern day, but I wouldn't say they are drastically modified, at least not in many cases And ground self defense, specifically where the defending person is on the bottom, is actually very unlikely to have been taught or practiced in traditional JJJ schools... That would have been the exception, not the norm
Its a shame you dont have a Carlos picture on the other sice of the logo. And to all the schools that have a carlos or a carlos gracie jr picture. Its a shame their is no Helio on the other side of that.
I'll priciated for gracie to show what self defend was it.so i thanknyou for thats and i 'll do respect for all martial arts in the world...nice exsecuted bro....viva gracies.and tarung derajatm
Yes it works. In JJ you learn about Ki energy, how to control it, you use the Ki of your opponent to fight him back. This is very powerful thing, but takes a lot of hard work to achieve it.
Gracies just refer to it as a headlock defense with pull down. It is meant to flow with them when they come from behind and grab a headlock you continue the downward motion and roll them forward and end up on top.
Are these scripted techniques against an opponent who just stands there and lets it happen? The same kind that karate people do ? Or is this different because it’s Gracie ?
I agree. Ive done limited aikido and have spent a year training a standup style of JJ. This is very simplified versions of that. Stuff that you can remember to do real quick and it can work. Some of those other standup arts locks are way to intricate and hard to remember and count to much on endless flow variations that frankly are almost impossible to remember. The simplicity is what makes the gracie jj standup so much more effecient than all that other crap.
3 years JJJ, 2 years BJJ, 8 years Aikido, 10 years Karate speaking. Eventually the Aikido clicks for you on a deep level and it stops feeling complicated. The only time Aikido is crap is when you train it at a mcDojo... which I fear may be what happens the majority of the time :\
Because BJJ has become much more focused on sport and tournaments instead of self-defense and actual fighting. These kinds of techniques (which come from old school Judo and japanese jiujitsu) were thrown out by sport-focused schools.
Ok so when any other style does these exact same techniques the comments are flooded with “bullshido” and “that would never work”. But a Gracie’s does it and it’s amazing. 🙄 Typical.
Probably because gjj proved it's ground in nhb and mma competitions and you can't say the same about 99,9% of other styles. But when it comes to self defence you are right to a certain degree, it's still too complicated and you can handle many of these situations with only one move - kick to the groin. Escapes from headlocks are useful too, because it happens often in real life situations. You need to find a balance, gjj schools still overcomplicate self defence, but it's obvious, they make money on it and won't tell that you can handle multiple situations with one move, because lessons would end after three classes 😅 On the other hand sport bjj schools teach you competition techniques and bad habits which are useless in mma and on the street. You don't really need too much to protect yourself in 1v1 situations on the street. If you would learn proper techniques and concepts for a one year you will be able to beat 99,9% people on this planet. Probably much more less when you are a woman 😅
Step forward, draw katana, slice off hand. Iaido is the art for that one. Though I haven't begun training it and may never, since I don't ever plan to have a sword on me 24/7.
Yes, but It depends on some variables. Yes, if you took the time to practice enough before it happened so you developed the right reflexes (get any partner and practice). Yes, if your attacker is not as trainned, fast or as strong as you; if the attacker forgot to bring his friends that day; and finally, if you are not drunk, drugged or extremely tired from previous activity such as another fight. But the most important technique is to ALWAYS try to stay out of troubles by being aware of your surroundings.
Alot of these are bogus. But the groundfighting portion of this art surely does work. Some of the self defense stuff like headlock escapes will work to. But the grab my wrist and I will twist into a standinging armlock type stuff is bogus. Its what we make fun of aikido for doing.
Nothing always works, and if you don't understand the technique, it's going to have a high risk of failure no matter how often you practice it. That said, all of these can work in real life but you have to have the wisdom to know which technique is right in which moment and some of these might almost never become relevant.
Well - I think it goes without saying that knife/gun defenses fall into the category of "The chance of pulling this off is low and the risks are high - but it sure beats standing there and getting stabbed/shot to death". In other words, exercise your common sense.
I find the ones vs gun especially laughable, any half decent gunman will pull the trigger on the move by reflex, you're getting shot, as you didn't get out of the line. Against a mugger, maybe someone who doesn't want to shoot you, might work, I wouldn't count on it. Knife strike defenses shown here are pretty bad. Where's the footwork? Static blocking a knife is bound to end badly if the opponent is stronger.
@@AstralS7orm not true at all. In police academy we stood about 10ft away from our instructor with live paintball rounds. He said to draw and shoot as soon as he charged, none of us more than got the gun drawn... it's just not humanly possible, it defies what seems to be logic. But you should try the same drill. There's a really good knife vs gun video set that demonstrates that on Funker Tacticals page as well as UF PRO. There are a few videos of real life gun disarms and knife disarms with pure success here on UA-cam, and watch the world's fastest gun disarm, tell me you'd somehow pull the trigger on that guy.
As a Black Belt in Korean TAEKWONDO, Chinese KENPO, and Japanese SHOTOKAN Karate I assure you GRACIE / Brazilian JIUJITSU and the techniques shown here are No more "Comical" than your Kata, or Bagwork!.. You are the Joke here as you don't understand or know anything about the "Practice" of Martial Art's! ! LOL 3:)
Now this is the BJJ I want to learn!
I love how gentle the technique is. Pure skill.
I'm glad to see the self-defense aspect of BJJ being recognized because that's what the Art was made for. The sporting aspect is fine for those who like competition but it was made for self defense 1st

Excelente colocação técnica. As execuções foram feitas com muita clareza, didática e segurança. Parabéns!
Great demo. Please show more!
Love it! Great work guys! GJJ all the way!
This is great to see, haven't studied in years but I remember many of these techniques
This is a treasure. Thank you.
Excellent demostration.

some really good techniques performed very smoothly and made to look easy but as always after years of time in the dojo.!!
Great work !!
Outstanding !!
beautifully executed. thank you.
Tradicional Jiu Jitsu, some aikido moves
plenty of chin na techniques from kung fu too.

Wing chun too
sport is great,but real life is the real test to see who you are
Why would you want to manifest that?
Great TechniQue !
This is great
very nice!
Very nice.
And i rspect for gracie from braziel were in aceh has a good two player fooball from braziel too.its so wonderfull a lil abit knowing about brazil.thank you gracies.bless youl all the times bros...
the gun techniques will get you seeing me
Many people misunderstand that BJJ can only fight in ground position... No!! it is useful until both are standing
nice techniques
Good trianing jiu-jitsu background fighting stace
Nice moves. The good and high percent self defense moves. :-)
That throw at 3:00, awesome

some useful moves...

YES!! hope all bjj schools starts doing this IBBJF and its silly rules killing the art.

What style karate do you do.
Yeah, samurai jujitsu, judo, lung fu, Silat and many more, all have these basic but effective techniques.
We'll done
GALING
Great! BJJ is evolving into more than just a sport combat. More well rounded.
Josh C. Incorrect, these have always been part of the Gracie Curriculum, sport BJJ quit practicing these because they don't help you win competitions.
Josh C. Its actually devolving in most schools.
HA HA HA....THE LOVE ROLL AT 1:52 FUNNY
Now that i’ve seen this, I know jujitsu.
👍🏽
I think we should spar with this technique
This is a good art for 1:1 ratio. Once you put weapons into the mix or multiple opponents, the dynamics change considerably.
The weapons start at 5:20
I don't know I only teach Japanese jujutsu
nice hand to hand and grab defenses. but for knife and gun, I think I'll stick to my Kalai and Taijutsu training.
@Universal Kombat That's a much smarter way. Being armed is much safer, especially against a weapon.
gfum69, did you mean Kali/Arnis/Eskrima? Or some other art with a similar name?
Taijutsu? Too much Naruto 😂
Should rename the video "Basic Japanese Jujitsu". lol
Thought the same thing. Jiu Jitsu is Japanese, period!
It is that also, but these are absolutely Gracie Self defense techniques and depending on your school you may be tested on this exact list. That's the reason I am here, in fact.
Sans mitsuyo maeda gracie jjb n'existeraient pas lol
@@asteriskcolon this is 100% traditional samurai jujitsu. Good on the Gracies for using practical methods.

What belt should know all these? Black?
Haunted -White.
Yeah probably advanced white belt
But in BJJ that's probably 2 to 3 years in for most people
This looks like it actually works ..
Yes it works. In JJ you learn about Ki energy, how to control it, you use the Ki of your opponent to fight him back. This is very powerful thing, but takes a lot of hard work to achieve it.
I've scared too many friends with my martial arts. None of my friends will put me in a headlock anymore (when I tell them to). :(
😂😂
At 3:00, sukui nage would be a much more efficient technique
Zack Desroches tani otoshi is what my gym uses
@@ericsynatschk5459 A modified tani otoshi is also taught for this situation, if the opponent is too big for you to throw.
A lot of this looks like aikido
Good bunkai
1:50 what is that move called?
Its called the probably not happening unless the guy giving you a headlock is a dunce.
I believe it is a variation of Judo's Yoko Otoshi.
Francesco G. It does actually work, I have used it for real, and I have a student who does security at a hospital who has used it for real as well.
Gracies just refer to it as a headlock defense with pull down. It is meant to flow with them when they come from behind and grab a headlock you continue the downward motion and roll them forward and end up on top.
Are these scripted techniques against an opponent who just stands there and lets it happen? The same kind that karate people do ? Or is this different because it’s Gracie ?
So that is how to take someone down holding your gi
Or shirt we always train these moves without the gi
It is more real ai ki do. So therefore it is more useful on the street

They can't say "proven in MMA competition" and then show all these moves that would get them wrecked if they tried it on a fully resisting opponent.
Is there any way I can practice this without a partner?
Kidnap someone.
+Vishagan Ketheeswaran omg....That's a great idea. =D
What happens when the guy with a gun is 7 feet away and pulls the trigger?
What is your solution?
Decide (quietly, in your mind) that a different reality will manifest instantly for yourself ..I've done this and it worked!
+Jonathan Votefan The REAL question is... What happens when 4 thousand Mongolian horseback archers ride through your town killing anyone in sight?

Basically Japanese Jiu Jitsu.

You use 2 hands...old tehnick..try use 1hand...Respect U...little one
