Note to self: If I were to ever in life see Eve Torres out and about... appproach Eve Torres with caution or she will kick my ass up and down the block LMFAO

[CrazyTom34]

Fantastic video! I'm a teacher and blue belt. My middle school has found out I do BJJ and now has me teaching a women's self-defense class for the teachers! this and the other videos you've posted are really helpful!

Rener: "Why am I so excited about this?"

I love Rener's excitement about sharing the power and beauty of Gracie Jiu-jitsu with others. Ryron definitely had the perfect response to when Rener said that. Ryron and Rener complement each other so well! They're the best instructors!!

[PayatLumpia]

"It worked! Gracie Jiu-jitsu all the way!" Hahahah

Or you could just use Poon Sao..... Excellent technique though- I honestly never thought about trying that. But I'm an Aikido guy- there are plenty of things to do when my wrist is grabbed.

[DishOfRice]

Jiu Jitsu isn't just combat technique, it's a way of life.

[J90JAM]

Giving away more DVD material? Cool!

[wheeler90]

Hey so what happens when you have some one that uses an overhand grip... Like when I play and teach my wife I always use an overhand grip and I grab and turn to move toward my destination... kinda like we do in Krav. Is there a way to incorperate this when an attacker uses an overhand grip no matter if it is two on one or one on one?

[GracieAcademy]

@wheeler90 The inverted grip is covered in variations 4 and 5 of this lesson. And yes, we cover, 1 on 1, 2 on 1, and 2 on 2 variations of the inverted grip.

[ChiroccoDocument]

I know the move slightly different. Given someone takes i. e. your right arm, we learnt to move the right elbow towards the left elbow of the opponent (moving slightly sideways). Ending up at the left side of the opponents extended arm, our elbow bone pointing to the opponent's face/body. Any advantage or disadvantage doing it this or the other way? Thanks for your efforts!

[dagracieway101]

damn gracieacademy these are alot of forums your monitoring,

[speedrocks84]

guys i just bought ufc: ultimate royce gracie on blu ray its awesome, u guys should go watch it it is badass!!! never knew jiu jitsu started it all the ufc.

[BUSHNICKDOG]

awesome variation!



[grizzzler]

Is this also a good release if you're in someone's guard and they got double wrist control? I know that's nothing to do with women empowered but just something I thought about while watching this.

[dobberdoss]

NO ONE will grap you and pull you using 1 arm EVER! If you want to teach things that really work? "keep it real"

[GracieAcademy]

@dobberdoss Read the title of the video "VARIATION 1 of 5" and if you had to bet your life on it, do you think that the Two-handed wrist grab is covered in any of the remaining four variations?? If you answered yes, you're right. Obviously we need to start somewhere and the 1 on 1 wrist grab is a great place to introduce basic principles of leverage. Thanks for caring.

[MrMZaccone]

@dobberdoss EVER? C'mon man, don't bet on that.  Besides, they teach escapes against two handed grip and a BUNCH of other VERY REAL situations. Don't be a putz and YOU keep it real.

[utubepunk]

@dobberdoss Never say never :-)

[sonnych69]

damn bee.... if your confident with your program you should have open comments and not censor them ... with an open forum some one can come up with a better idea if you really want peolple to learn and not just market your idea ..

[GracieAcademy]

@sonnych69 Censorship of the comments on this video has nothing to do with confidence in the program. We are 100% confident in the scope and effectiveness of the program as will be anyone who takes the time to view all 15 lessons. The only reason we had to censor comments is because of the amount of ignorant people out there are making crude remarks towards the women in the video. We're trying to fight the right fight without allowing ignorant people to mess it up.

[SimonSez83]

thiis is sooo amazing ... so much passion :P

i love you guys, you like kids in a candy store.

[921144666]

Gotta love the Gracies! :-)

[PAINRedefinedxFN]

as a small guy, my code of jiu jitsu is : 'if it's almost effortless, you're doing it right'

[gdrocker93]

Is that Eve from WWE ?

[Fizzwut]

@gdrocker93 Yeah, she's Rener's girlfriend.

[MikeDunn]

@Fizzwut EVE is Rener's girlfriend, but that's not Eve in the video.

[MikeDunn]

@gdrocker93 no, it's Sage Gracie.

[heatchampions25]

@gdrocker93 Yes



[Morgothhhh]

This are the principles of aikido as well :)

[Nola213]

[IWanaSoftTaco]

I'm a guy.  Is it okay that I always feel empowered after watching this?

[GracieAcademy]

@IWanaSoftTaco Yes.
