That's why you don't take shit from them. I've let myself get punked by people I could turn inside out and let them. What are they going to do? Kick my ass? Stand up for what is right and don't let others take advantage of people.
Seth got skills! Say what you wanna say about the Gracies but it just puts a smile on my face when I see kids like Seth doing jiu jitsu. All the best Mike & Seth!
Autism is a Spectrum - some have it in a severe way, some to a lesser degree. It is harder for doctor's to diagnose High - Functioning Autism, so people get help (if they get help) much later in life. If your child Hops up and down, and flaps his arms or hands, and his conversations are one-sided, get your kid checked out. Seek 2nd and 3rd opinions. Interventions works best if done EARLIER, rather than later.
Great that it has helped him with some self confidence. and something to show the bullies. I am not sure about losing the diagnosis of Autism but it is great that he is doing better.
Nice job Dad, best of luck to Seth. My son, Brenden is one of the only young kid to be working with Gracie Barra and just had his first class with Black Belt Professor Philipe Della Monica. He is 5 yrs old and I have uploaded a video of him training with. It is such a great thing and this is the start of more great things to come for these special needs children. The Gracie family is such a giving fun place to build confidence and find "family' values.
Yea I was just being sarcastic. No need to get so fired up, I was only stating that it's not a good idea to teach mentally defective children how to most effectively break their peers' bone's.
Apparently these specific kind of window lickers' [Autistics] are much more prone to fits of rage and violence then other children. A parent teaching his autistic child how to shatter other children's elbows, or tear their peers rotator cuffs doesn't exactly sound safe or sane.

Someone please explain to me why you think it's a good idea to: Teach a preteen retard potentially lethal chokes, and joint locks that can cripple another kid. Then give that retard the green light to use those submissions on someone that he feels has bullied him. Why don't you just give the kid a loaded gun while you're at it.
I doubt you want anyone to explain anything to you, since you seem to have such a strong condescending opinion of things and have missed the entire point of this story. People with autism are not retarded. In fact, they tend to be some of the smartest, richest most successful people in the world. For example: the following is a very small list of people with autism:Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, Mark Twain, Emily Dickinson, Beethoven. I find your comments laughable and cowardly.
I wanted to add something about people who are actually mentally or physcially retarded.
Retarded people are often times simply arrested at some point of mental development, but they function quite well. Sure, they can't draw up the blue prints to build a sky scraper, but they can understand a lot more than the average person seems to think they can.
Prejudice against retarded people stems from the same selfish ignorance and vanity that racism and sexism does.
I am amused to see that you agree with me. Disillusioned means knowing and enlightened, the authors AKA hacks by you happen to be no less than 5 famous biographers who are published and 3 of which have PHD's. Tell me friend have you graduated high school yet? With a screen name like fake&gay 69, how can anyone possibly take you seriously :) you are amusing. End of story.
It's not just about Jiu Jitsu, but it's all about relationship. I'm 33 years old now, but, when i was younger, i had so many problems with bully that i can't see te videos without compare my own experience with the testimonials.
THAT is a Super smart ass remark. I'm 4 tip blue belt Gracie barra, trained jits mma for 4 years now. The bully proof system is legit, marketing or not. Don't reduce it to a marketing scheme. My son has aspergers and these techniques have allowed me to involve him in training successfully. Congrats on getting the little boy involved in jits. It's still the best stand alone martial art style that doesn't involve weapons.
@jiujitsujody Whoa tiger! Perhaps the part of martial arts where they talk about peaceful centeredness has escaped you. I'm not sure if you always assume the worst of people, but it's not pretty...nor kind. (continued,,,)
I did not "reduce" anything to anything else. I merely ACKNOWLEDGED the marketing genius in this video. YOU, my friend, are the one suggesting something dirty or evil. If you'll take the time to re-read my comment with a less defensive set of goggles...you'll find that I'm very, VERY complimentary of the marketing I see. And perhaps you'll forgive yourself for firing one across my bow.

Great Video! When I was a kid my dad taught me a style of Karate called "Tang Soo Do" now called "Soo Bahk Do" but he didn't teach me to throw punches or kicks, only how to block punches and kicks. I think this bullyproof DVD is a great Idea on how to teach your kids self defense. I wish I knew Gracie starting out when I was young. Your kid may become the youngest American to achieve a black belt. THUMBS UP!
@SniperJDM If he can do it by age 19 he will officially be the youngest American. BJ Penn got his at 20. The dad's right though BJJ is totally life-changing, I have a disability too, cerebral palsy. It's like therapy for me w/o BJJ i'd probably be confined to my bed by now. Thanks guys
The dad is the real deal...I can just tell by his comments...As a dad of a son with Autism...you just cant make this stuff up...I am gonna try this
