Jiu-jitsu needs to be trained with strikes. Learning to defend against strikes on the ground is crucial for self defense. Using strikes, such as upkicks, to create distance and return to a standing position should be part of the basic curriculum This should be standard teaching in BJJ schools. Jiu-jitsu for a grappling competition and jiu-jitsu for a street altercation are completely different. Furthermore, this is what most people are expecting to learn when they sign up at a BJJ academy. Not enough emphasis on defending against strikes & street self defense is main the reason most people quit BJJ. Too many schools focus on pure grappling only.
BJJ was trained as a complete martial art decades before the UFC or MMA events ever started. World BJJ champion & Brazilian Top Team founder Mario Sperry spoke at length about how original BJJ was completely different than today's sport BJJ. Original BJJ was developed for no rules Vale Tudo fighting and self defense.
Jujitsu is self-defense. If you’re not training against punches and kicks and multiple opponents and complete random scenarios and weapons etc. etc. then you’re not training jujitsu. Jujitsu came from the Japanese battlefield and the streets of feudal Japan. We need to remember that. It is a means to protect life. It is BUDO.
Really appreciate Rener's emphasis on applying techniques to self-defense scenarios. The entire dynamic seems to change when you're training for competition vs. training for self-defense.
Outstanding Rener!!👍🏾 Thank you for making these distinctions between Sport & Street SO clear. It’s BEYOND necessary to preserve the true essence of the MARTIAL aspect of Jiujitsu!!!👊🏾❤️🙏🏾
love love love, Gracie trained last 10 years, proud and loud, be humble, but if shit hits the fan, I'm ready. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, yall changed my life for the better. I train at LCCT with Louis, Hickson given 6th degree black belt. Much love.
I'm a Gracie Barra student in Albuquerque NM. I find your videos very informative. we would love to have you give a seminar here in Albuquerque. Personally I think the academies need to teach more street fighting self defense style Jiu Jitsu for real life situations. Good luck in Australia! #TeamRousey
Every time I watch one of your videos it gets me closer to deciding to begin a journey in your program. Luckily, I live in Phoenix, Az and there is a Gracie center about 1 mile from my house. You guys are awesome. Much respect!
James Dreger Not exactly. There are many thousands of videos of real street fights, prison fights etc. Its not like we can't easily see what real fights actually look like.
Whoa! That head butt defense, heel kick, and ax kick were not on the Gracie Combatives videos! Thanks for sharing. Would love to see you do a seminar in New Braunfels, TX!
I've been watching this for a few weeks and had my first jiu jitsu class the other day. I was able to do an omoplata on my partner. Your videos have helped out so much. thank you so much Rener for doing these videos.
I have just recently started my Jiu-jitsu journey. I have been flowing these break downs for awhile now and love it. This type of training for real life situations is exactly what I need. Wish you guys could check out the East coast. If you came I would be there and many others. Preferably New England. Thanks Guys
I learned as much as I laughed. Great video. Every respect to you and the passion you have and always display for this art. You guys haven't done any seminars in Kenya. I really do hope that maybe someday I get to roll with you. It would be a great honor.
THANK YOU Renee, your videos are dope! I recently started my Jiu Jitsu journey with Eddie Camden here in Georgia, SO MUCH FUN!. I am 48 and wish I had found this 20-30 years ago. I am one of the proudest one stripe black belts walking around - Cheers - FISH
Love the videos! Such a great teacher! I’ve bee training three days already and I was able to remember some of the protection techniques today while I was rolling. Hope to do a class or a seminar after I get a few months under my belt.
I'll just say this: the best way to achive a good ground submission is performing a great takedown / throwdown. The best way to achieve a good takedown is unbalancing the opponent with some nice striking. Great video as always. Rio de Janeiro for sure!!!!
done a lot of martial arts, including Jiu Jitsu. One thing in common: Control the distance to your advantage. Of all the videos I have watched, these make the most sense.
It'd be so easy to just vomit some instructional video for clicks and to get cred on the Gracie name, but you can feel the passion Rener has with every word.
I'm beginning to think that there needs to be a completely separate, optimized curriculum for self defense BJJ as opposed to tournament/sports BJJ - perhaps with it's own belts/levels. Otherwise things will always get mixed up and the applicability will decrease more and more (just like it did with many traditional martial arts).
Not really, combatives is a beginner program for people prior to blue belt. I think it's excellent stuff, but it doesn't offer content for more advanced levels. I was thinking about a curriculum for self defence white to black belts, and another one for sports white to black belts.
I disagree, the master cycle is just the regular curriculum post blue belt. It's not specialised on self defence, and many things are actually counter productive for self defence I would say
We need another Super Seminar in Canada! I went to the one in Sudbury last year and it was great! I think you should come to the only one in Quebec! That would be amazing!!

Would be inspirational to meet and talk with you and personally, I would take so many key concepts and lessons home with me!

Well done sir. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for being open minded enough to see that there is more to Jiu Jitsu than sport. Peace be with you.
Toronto, On Open mat academy of mixed martial arts, We have a Fight Like A Girl workshop once a month with Professor Elliot. Still is a great self defence workshop but can still have more.
This was so helpful. Are you still goin' round the planet? Come to Denmark! We learn Muay thai, Krav maga and there's also a BJJ and 15 or so other arts in the gym of Odense, so I believe that the seminar would be filled with practitioners. Thank you!
Such amazing technique involved in the true jiu jitsu, you don't even have to "fight" the person, just defend yourself and smile the whole time. So many people are so into the UFC (which has went away from its real intent, to a sport) and sport jiu jitsu that many of these people sadly I don't think would be able to defend themselves at all.
São Paulo, Brazil! From my perspective, back home is a place as desperate in need of getting (re)acquainted with the pure self-defence aspect of the art as any. +Gracie Jiu Jitsu São Paulo make it happen, folks! Cheers.
You should send some teacher of gracie university here in france. I like my jiujitsu club, but we only train competition jiujitsu. I wanna learn street fight jiujitsu like you guys teach. everytime i see your video i wish i was training in your academy. keep up the good work
Maybe what your student was asking about is something called "pre-fight indicators". Pointing, (measuring), yelling, ect. There are also a few perspective videos on what it looks like to walk into an ambush.
This should be all the proof that anyone needs about how great of a guy Rener Gracie is. He could've easily locked this video behind a paywall but he doesn't because he is more concerned about this information being accessible to those who need it than he is about nickels and dimes. That being said, I would like to see a video about disarming armed opponents, be it a knife, gun, rocket launcher, katana, or pet dragon.
Im a BJJ white belt (basically a Muay Thai guy that dabbles in BJJ). A few days ago I got attacked on the street after a brief racist confrontation. The much bigger guy punched me in the jaw and then the fight went straight to the ground, I managed the distance and held him as tight as i could in my guard hitting him with short shots until he gave up verbally, and then as soon as I felt his hips lighten up I got a knee inside to frame him off and kicked him off me, and that was the entire fight. I had watched this video about a year ago and it wasn’t fresh in my mind, but ive got to credit this video that my mind went straight to distance management in this real life, adrenaline pumping street situation, I didn’t panic and scramble to get up and waited for the window like you taught. After this incident, and the fact that it went straight to the ground in seconds, I’m much more motivated to train BJJ to a higher level. Thank you for this, it saved me that night. I
Bellingham Wa needs one! There are a couple of schools here (not Gracie jiu-jitsu) and i think people would go if they knew a little more about the style.
