Day one Jiu Jitsu in use...

Did anyone else see this?
This show is one of my guilty pleasures. I can tell a lot of it is hammed up for the cameras but this fight looked pretty damn real.

I wondered how many people that saw it were as excited as I was to see the very first standing headlock escape to knee on belly technique that I was taught when I first started BJJ.

I just kept thinking, "Damn that was beautiful.."

Yeah that looks real. F'ng sweet lol That was an early stoppage in my opinion.

 

That was beautiful.

 

I don't know what show this is but that big piece of shit got his ass handed to him. The smaller guy also has a real good chin.

and what a stupid bitch at the end saying "baby, baby". If your "baby" has no problem sucker punching a guy half his size he won't think twice about beating you up when the day will come.

 

Wow, very nice punches from up top too.

 

Damn, that guy can take a punch.

 

Thats actually pretty awesome.

 

EXACTLY!

I was sure he was KTFO! That was a beautiful...

 

There's actually a pretty legit self defense system that trains you to block the sucker punch. It's not actually a fighting style, just a transition to whatever you work best with, ex. bjj, muay thai, boxing, etc.

Something interesting while we're on the subject

 

First I've heard of this... and although I am not very much into self defense (I train BJJ), I find this guy very interesting. I've been looking through some of his stuff and he got me pretty interested. Check out these videos I found in another thread:

 

Not everyone is into all the marketing around that system, but the principles it is based on are very sound.

It's along the same lines as what I was discussing in the self defense thread here. There is really no time to think in a real situation. You just react.

Skilled martial artists spend a lot of time honing the right reactions, but it takes a lot of practice to get that into your muscle memory to the point where it can actually be used under pressure. This system tries to get a little headstart on that by working off reactions that are already human nature, but I still think it takes a good bit of practice before it can actually be used.

The key is to practice until you start naturally reacting in the proper way instead of naturally freezing up.

 

A granite chin and brutal ground and pound

 

nice!! fuckin pwnt.

looks like day one wrestling too me

 

does that guy train bjj? it didn't necessarily seem to be bjj, escaping a headlock and putting a knee on belly there. it was a nice smashing though for sure.

 

I don't know if the small guy trains, but the big guy is supposedly a kickboxing champ. Although internet searches turn up zilch.
That was actually one of the first BJJ techniques I was taught. Granted it was in a law enforcement academy, but it is old school Helio type stuff. Helio''s basics weren't entirely ground focused. The majority was for self defense. From what I understand that is how he introduced his students to the art.

 

that was brutal...awesome, but brutal.

 

I can't tell you how much joy that video brought me. Thank you!
