  • whats ur workout?

  • @vlonp Jiu-Jitsu

  • Worst knife defence I have ever seen, please don't show people how to get themselves killed. If someone wants to stab you they are going to be flailing that knife as you as fast and a jab. Get someone to try stab you their fastest and this will not work because they will retract their knife no leave it there. If you want to learn knife defence youtube Paul Vunak or Luke Holloway. Don't get yourself killed.

  • @MMASNinja Luke Holloway - you mean this BS? watch?v=PNqWPqiXP_Y

    And what will happen to him in that technique should the attacker retract the knife? Or just change the trajectory a bit and strike higher? In what way is it better than what these guys suggest?

  • @MMASNinja Brazil is one of the most dangerous places for the commoner. Its violent crime statistic is one of the highest in the world. The Gracie family has been adapting jiujitsu for street fighting for 3 generations and counting. so who has more credibility?

  • yea its not that simple hey, especially if they fake the first thrust and you commit to one of theses moves, your screwed. Come back after you have been attacked on the street with a knife fellas and give a lesson based on experience not something that looked cool on a holiday.

  • what if you have no sand D:

  • "Throw some sand in his face" lol :)

  • Passing the knife from hand to hand was actually taught to WWII commandos, seen an old commando talk about it. Not saying that I agree with it, but that it has a historical history to it and not just a movie thing. Good video guys!

  • that is a well known and basic technique in many martial arts I expected more

  • First thing RUN

  • Coasta Rica? Can they not speak?

  • ive got a better idea go eat your dinner before it gets cold like you couple of plums lol

  • at 0:30, is that Eve Torres?! :)

  • USED TO SURF THERE EVERYDAY...PLAYA ESCONDIDA Y ISLA HERRADURA..OSSSSSSSSSSS..ISLAN­D JIU-JITSU FROM HAWAII!

  • gay poon

  • An interesting technique--it seems to make sense.

    Pull your fucking shorts up, though. If they fall down around your ankles while you're trying to defend yourselves, you'll get tripped up, and die.

  • @joebob2299

    2:41 Its dangerous. To block a knife strike without complete control of your attacker's arm is unwise. He could still slip the knife from side to side.

    It would be safer to take escrima (especially with those teachers who have actually been attacked with knives).

  • @1NX9 I think that what they are showing here is very realistic and very effective.I've studied Kali, escrima and arnis for many years, and imo it is a fallacy that you shouldn't block the weapon arm and try to grab and disarm. For 1 thing, maniac attackers aren't usually experts; also, a weaponless defender has few options during the attack. & Trying to "pass the blade" etc can be extremely difficult and dangerous for non-experts. Grabbing arm and disarming can work. Don't let go or give up.

  • @pokerisometrics

    I dont have issue with blocking. Its attempting to block Without control of the arm.

    It would have been safer doing a grabbing block.

    Yes I agree with you on going on the outside thing.

    Yep. I agree with missing the arm grab & attacker pulls away.

    In this demo. Its also dangerous if the attacker throw a feint and you commit to the feint attack. Your body weight is shifted to the front of the leg (thus momentarily pinning it) and your face and neck is exposed.

  • Comment removed

  • @1NX9 As a matter of preference I would try to move my body outside of the angle of the weapon (to the left in this example), most likely blocking with the right arm, or both arms, and then trying to secure a wristlock of some sort, twisting it around for a disarm. What I like about the technique shown here is the of arm-scissor action and the simplicity, and that it flows from natural response. But what's dangerous is if you can't grab the arm and the attacker pulls the weapon away.

  • hahahahah so funny!!!!

  • @heracles04 You forgot that a good majority of people go into shock when they get stabbed and often more than not the stabber isn't stopping with one stab they will stab you multiple times. :(

  • why are they wearing their shorts so low? weird boner spasm goin on right now

  • @heracles04 exactly! thank u man

  • @heracles04 Because Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the same as karate.

  • Go learn from an experience Filipino escrima master. From people who actually been attacked by knives. 

  • @heracles04 "Famous" muscle memory? Guess neuroscience is just famous and possibly mythical, because the streets is SO HARD.

    Anyone can tell you, as well, self-defense is preparation psychologically, as well. I'm not going to go ahead and toss a bunch of experience like you do, also, because that cannot be proven or disproven. We're on the internet, my friend. My point is simple: Motor skills work for many people, and a person who knows technique CAN defend themselves VERY effectively.

  • @heracles Your comments show that you have no idea about Gracie Jiu-Jitsu! Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is PURE SELF-DEFENSE! You probably only watched some IBJJF Championship fights. But what you see there is a sport version of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Ryron, Rener and Co. don't even like it. Because it isn't street applicable. They already talked enough about that.

  • Best thing to do is run from any knife attack, dont try and be hero there are no victors in combat.

  • @manz92 Better way is to be at home

  • @manz92 But sometimes you won't have a chance to run!

  • @Cachorrinho1907 well then most likely you will end up dead or seriously injured, thats a risk not worth taking for your wallet lol. but if someone attacks you to take your life, then you have to fight for your life and hope all you learned saves your life.

  • @manz92 Yeah, of course if the guy only wants my wallet he can have it but unfortunately wallets seem to be not enough for the bad guys today :/ .

  • @heracles04 Illogical? Everything you're saying sounds incoherent. You have got to be trolling: The reason why Helio Gracie fought Kimura was because the Gracies were profoundly against the nature of competition that grew in judo. Judo had begun to lose a lot of its character due to competition - BJJ sought to have a foundation in SELF-DEFENSE. FEAR means nothing, if you have conditioned yourself with enough muscle memory to react. Research motor memory and the history behind Gracie Jiu-Jitsu...

  • @Audiofalcon7 Audiofalcon7, conditioning comes after imprinting. Even the most conditioned people can fail with the wrong imprinting.

  • @heracles04 You do understand that the Gracies fought heavily against the judo sport, right? You do understand that BJJ's origins have nothing to do with sport, but everything to do with self-defense...right? It does not care about rules, and even in sport BJJ, the only rule is to grapple and don't do things that can potentially break your hand unnecessarily.

    Again - it's a MARTIAL ART FOR SELF-DEFENSE BEFORE SPORT. You train for MUSCLE MEMORY OF THE TECHNIQUE SO REFLEX OVERCOMES STRESS.

  • @heracles04 Also, did you ever stop to think that you should never even take into consideration a second stab? C'mon - if you're stabbed once, you it's over. The point is to be fast, strong, agile, and have the developed practice and muscle memory to make this move effective. They also show many other potential knife defenses as well. There is far more often more than one way to handle a knife. The point is to catch the knife mid-stab. You have to be fast, but it only takes practice.

  • @heracles04 This is funny, and utterly ignorant.

    First thing's first: Yes, someone is going to be fast, and yes it is going to be a fast movement. All BJJ movements are fast - it is, after all, a fight. Don't be so ignorant to think that just because they demonstrated the movement in a fashion to help the viewer understand what is going on, that all of what you are saying is not taken into consideration. The point of BJJ - any martial art, actually - is REPETITION and MUSCLE MEMORY. Get it?

  • the basic mistake is that they assume the attacker is not going to push the knife forward the minute they grab on his hand. it looks good on camera, but i do not think it works in real life. you need to hit the attacker the minute you block his attack, otherwise he will not let you apply any technique.

  • Starts: 1:23

  • @chailizard

    0:30 the hotty got good boobs and asss

  • how many gracies are there??

  • lame

  • @sifujosh do you know of a better technique? I've tried many and this is by far the simplest and most natural underhand knife defense I've seen. It requires very few motions, can be executed quickly, opens up various options and keeps the blade away from vital organ via bone structure. Pretty legit if you ask me

  • @lsloewen2 Better than most. Marc Denny's dog catcher approach is similar but more robust IMO

  • @e3con1 I agree. I like the dog brother's catcher better

  • @101ers77 homophobic much?

  • Lol! This is just a poor copycat of Krav Maga. BJJ guys should just stick to gay rolling-panty wearing acts.

  • @101ers77 How is krav maga a copycat of jiu jitsu, if anything krav maga is a copycat of all kind's of styles.

  • @DynastyLuminous46 krav maga is indeed a copy of numerous styles. But they're manly and not gay rolling-panty wearing acts, Lmao!

  • What a garbage technique.... stick to the ground boys, if you wanna mess with knife, FMA such as Pekiti Tersia is how to go. Learn how to use a blade/weapon so you know how to defend from it. With even minimal knife training, a guy defending like that.... ohhh man, the amount of things a even decently skilled knife fighter can counter with... bad idea.

  • @BushidoBudo9000 So go to Rener and Ryron and prove your point in a friendly sparring match.

  • @HughSlaman what in knife sparring?

  • @BushidoBudo9000 That is exactly what I meant. Play the following game: you attack with the straight thrust shown, and see if you can counter their technique.

  • @HughSlaman pretty simple, three things can come from countering a straight thrust, trained or untrained. Pass on the outside, pass thru to the inside, step back n grab, or block the way they did here. For this, use your other hand and pass his elbow, and slice thru his stomach. OR grab his wrist and pull in toward you as you thrust. Key to knife fighting n defense is moving away from your center line. Since he really isnt, other than removing his arm, his body is completely open.

  • watch?v=4ah_0gia4A0&feature=ch­annel_video_title

  • Ju jitsu bodies are awesome. Amiright ladies?

  • Lol someone comes out of the jungle.. likely scenario. Good vid though

  • what are you doing

  • watch?v=96CaCUhFXM4&feature=re­lated

  • @capolan

    No dude, the techniques are similar. These is a super basic, very legit technique that is based on sacrificing a body part to protect vital organs. It also relies on bone strength and leverage and is simple and easy enough to be applied in a great variety of situations. And really, knife-defense instruction is all theoretical anyway, you can't prove any of it works for real

  • you guys should get the shock knife system, and test and develop your techniques in the gracie tradition of putting it in the labortory and testing what works and what least effective and whats crap!

  • @thethetruthiz

    Dude, calm down, I'm a GJJA student too and I argue on these comments for fun, people are ignorant, not worth getting mad at, go do some rolling and get that anger out :-)

  • Comment removed

  • @lsloewen2 you are so right...yet "ignorant" is a understatement...these people are neurologically incapable...never the less that was the wisest yet simplest advice anyone has ever told me through youtube....i will....thanx

  • @commentaccounta

    Iv never been stabbed but I assume grabbing/controlling the wrist of someone actually trying to kill you is easer said than done. However im pretty confident I can use my whole forearm to protect my vital organs like these guys

  • THIS IS WHYHATEGETADAYJOB BY THE WAY...I TEMPERATELY LOST MY OTHER PASSWORD BUT I MADE ANOTHER ACCOUNT BECAUSE I COULDNT WASTE ANOTHER SECOND READING ALL YOUR BULLSHIT

  • The only reason why I AM EVEN on this page is because THEY ARE MY FUCKING INSTRUCTORS...GO LEARN WHAT EVER THE FUCK SOUNDS PEACHY TO YOU AND STEP INTO THE GRACIE ACADEMY AND I SWEAR ON MY SOUL I WILL BREAK EVERYTHING THATS HOLDING YOU TOGETHER..NO RULES NOTHING..JUST SHOUT YOUR SCREEN NAME WHEN YOU ENTER AND I WILL PERSONALLY FUCK U UP. IN FRONT OF THE TWO GRACIES YOU KEEP CRITICIZING, THERE SO GENEROUS, THEY MIGHT EVEN TELL U HOW TO BEAT ME AFTER I COMPLETELY EMBARRASS YOU FUCKING LIARS.

  • Comment removed

  • nobody even thumbs up what you clowns say because NOBODY agrees with u...i went away for like a week because i have a fucking life..and come back and your all still at it..i didnt NOT-respond because u guys have valid points...i didnt because i have a girlfriend with a real pussy made of flesh...lol...you dudes are all gay nerds who NEVER been in a ALTERCATION let alone a Fight..i can tell by all once in a lifetime what-ifs u talk about..real fights are random,stupid and over quick..STFU

  • why are all you jiu jitsu trolls here.....you find the most respected art on youtube and troll away......go to a karate vid or something, maybe then some1 would actually listen to you..what a bunch of fucking losers...why dont all you experts create a art with your divine minds of god and show us alll a perfect style..instead of criticize people who spent 80 years perfecting something thats a choice to learn..if you dont like get the fuck out of here..why try to convince every1 gjj is useless.

  • i guess bvshr has the longest resume in the planet and is respected by all authority and life on earth in general....he has a purple heart and metal of honor and has ran into every Gjj practitioner in the world who happened to get a epic beat down right before his eyes , everywhere he goes a Gjj student falls to his knees by random bloody violent attacks that he happens to witness.....shut the fuck up you lying pedophile loser, shouldnt you be registering yourself online somewhere u predator

  • The technique shown here relies too much on a very clean attack from you opponent. Control the wrist before you do anything else, or the arm will slip away.

  • if your life is on the line and you use this.... your gonna die

  • if he has commando on you are fucked

  • i love the Gracies. but the intro up to :50 is pretty gay.

  • @bvshr

    Well I am a even more experienced corrections officer and was a UFC and Strikeforce Champion and was a Navy seal an Marine Recon and Green Beret and Combat Control and I say, with all my badass authority, that GJJ has beat everyone in every streetfight. (such statements are useless on YouTube, the military gets a wal-mart generic brand of martial arts training and prison fights aren't a threat to 99.99999% of normal people)

  • @whyhategetadayjob, and hes gonna proceed to hold you down with 1 hand while he beats your little pansy ass with the other, or you'll go to the joint and someones gonna shank your little bitch ass & then there will be 1 less cocksucker piece of shit Asshole in this world for me and anyone else to contend with, Now Fuck off Dickmagnet go hump somebody else's leg

  • @whyhategetadayjob, I don't have to argue with you, You're a fucking moron and I don't have to do anything about you, Your a hotheaded little know nothing piss ant who's gonna let his hot head and Big Fucking mouth get him Killed, there are no ultimate styles and The only pleasure I take from our interaction is that one Day you'll fuck with the wrong Badassed mother fucker

  • You are a fucking pussy assed little bitch who has not been taught the cold hard lessons of real world violence, you live in a fantasy world where because you are kingshit on UFC on XBOX that you are a fighter, I have met and trained with ex marines, ex & current Army & had the priviledge to train with an ex SEAL

  • @whyhategetadayjob, the GJJ kid got full mounted and got his face fucked up, not to mention shanked where he and one other inmate died that day, the brawl was a smokescreen to cover a hit that was pulled off in the confusion, the only thing more pathetic than you telling anyone they're a joke is the dumbshit you talk

  • @whyhategetadayjob, in one particular instance the GJJ fighter was in a prison yard and I had to call it in, the boxer got taken to the ground and fought outa 3 submission attempts & the guard when the GJJ kid attempted an armlock from the guard the boxer kid mashed his balls with a closed fist and when Mr.GJJ let go(in pain)

  • @bvshr

    This why almost all that ground game is useless simply because the GROIN is the primary target for any bad ass as well any house wife without any fighting skills.All the hype was and is good for one thing only...MONEY.

  • @whyhategetadayjob, I have worked as a corrections officer and a bouncer, I have seen acts of violence that would make you piss your pants & run to your momma, I have seen men shanked and bleed to death and I have seen many a wanna be hard ass fall. I've several GJJ fighters get fucked up trying their techniques on guys who whipped their asses because they tried their shit out side the ring

  • @whyhategetadayjob, you cant just let shit die can you motherfucker? You to run your fucking mouth until you find somebody to shut your fucking Dicksucker for you, why dont you just get off your grandma's computer and leave people alone before someone hurts your scrawny little ass real bad

  • been looking all over the place. why do knife defence vids never show a realistic knife thrust. you give some1 a marker pen and tell them to draw on you. I can garuntee they will not hold the knife in the rear hand and they will not do 1 upward thrust, they will flail, unless you catch the arm on the first thrust your stuffed. I suggest if some comes at you with a knife just think "is my wallet worth more than my life?"

  • @whyhategetadayjob. The last 4 comments came from my account but were not me, they were a close friend who felt he had something to prove. I will not relay these messages any further, if you wanna argue online do it on your own time and leave my name out of it, thank you

  • @bvshr And if your Close friend would think up and type something that gay and vulgar not to mention even thinking about child pedophilia ..then if i were you i would get new friends ....they'll get you in alot of trouble one day.......if i was a snitch i would track your ip addresses and have the police arrest you today.....have a good day and cut the tuf boy act out it isnt working for any of you.

Hands down, I tell you what Dick Breath why Dont you leave you cell phone number or so contact information if you're so macho and gonna fight me cause I slighted your fucking queer heros

  • Full respect to gjj but won't a smart attacker close the distance first. They also won't stopmoving after you grab their hand usually they will keep trying to stab

  • @whyhategetadayjob- theres a very enlightening video here on youtube its called "a real knife attack is likely to look like this" I bet you never saw anybody "Knife Attack" your instructor with that type of intensity its got 30459 views as of tonight and a 5 star rating, personally I dont like seeing people mislead, watch that video and ponder the answer yourself

  • Comment removed

  • @bvshr you are just a faceless name on a social site...you think that the UFC fighters some who come from the poorest walks of light never been in a street fight???they were just born in a octagon and never been through real life? i dont know where your from but come to CALI dick brain...a street fight aint some rare event that only some internet nerd named bvshr harnesses the secrets to...over 1000,000 people see this link and i bet the 50,000 people whos been in a fight r like shut the fuck up

  • @bvshr Everything you say just sounds bitter and pointless and this isnt your first time arguing with me..now your saying the parents who watching there 6-12 year old daughters and sons in a Gracie Class are paid by the gracies to prove a point about knife fighting??....some of those people are my own relatives....your a joke....look in the mirror and laugh at yourself...get use to seeing and hearing that because a loser like you has to prepare to hear that alot..

  • @bvshr hahaha you are such a faggot here you go again, if you cant win in a fight WITH rules what the fuck makes you think you can win a FIGHT without any...i guess soon as you squeeze a dick in a altercation your automatically declared a winner in your book huh...u must have more street fights than the whole gracie family right? dog your a no body...youll always be a no body...and i swear on the constitution i wish i could find you & whip your ass myself and show everybody how weak you are

  • @bvshr sorry i meant to say 100,000 people, it seems your stupidity is contagious so keep that nonsense over there. u act like every street fight thats ever been u magically appeared as a spectator & took notes or some shit, closest man 2 the most documented street fighter is kimbo slice & look what happen 2 him as soon as his stupid ass touched the floor all that bullshit your talkin about goes out the window,oh but i guess kimbo was paid by a gracie 2 get beat on by bjj practitioners right.

  • @whyhategetadayjob - I guarantee you all those "Knife Fighters" they so carefully picked out to demonstrate the techniques with, were paid to not resist the technique and to take a fall for the GJJ instructors they are not gonna risk being proved fake in front of their precious students who pile in for classes thats bad for Business, and a real knife fighter will not swing for murder he will cut and stab anything you put in his way and finish you with about 20-50 stabs in the guts think for yo

  • @Iamveryfrozen ...Also challenge an ex-con and a Hell's Angel to test this pathetic excuse for a knife disarm and I promise you will regret ever being born, or atleast not being born a women. Buy a copy of Put'em Down take'em out knife fighting techniques from Folsom Prison by: Don Penecost and see what happeneds and how a real knife assult really looks

  • @Iamveryfrozen, if you doubt me find the nearest combat vet or Hell's Angel gang for example ,member challenge him to a street fight where Ball shots,eye jabs, biting, knees & elbows to the head, throat shots, strangle holds( not to be confused with chokeholds) small joint manipulation,and kicking the head of a grounded opponent are allowed and test your kimura their, better yet lets see if you even can get it applied,

  • @Iamveryfrozen

    In a "True" No holds barred altercation you will never get a competent combatives trained fighter in a submission hold things that are fouls in the ring, will kill you on the street and the Gracies only thrive in a sporting environment where referees protect them and the Holes in their armor remain undiscovered. They are great in the ring but to claim street savy in GJJ is lunacy at best

  • Comment removed

  • @MrAaronch your the type of person given the situation where you cant run (jail/prison/attacker in your house) would rather die..these techniques are now established in every U.S military branch & almost all 50 states in law enforcement starting from the adoption in the us army in 2002..curtsey of these two Gracies in particular & there father..id rather take techniques that are TRUSTED by our MILITARY than.......you.its better to attempt a TRUSTED escape than DO NOTHING and DIE...your a bozo

  • @whyhategetadayjob I'm stating fact. I have years of martial arts and combatives experience. I've seen people killed and hurt plenty of times. I myself was attacked and injured by someone with a knife and hospitalized. There is a big difference in an actual situation where your attacked. All fine motor skills dissapear which means things that involve complex movements cant be executed. I suggest that you take a look at William E Fairbairn or the dog brothers to get a better understanding.

  • @whyhategetadayjob This technique was taught by Fairbanks in WWI. It's been around for a long time

  • @whyhategetadayjob our government has NEVER made judgment errors? bjj is just hyped up from the SPORT of mma. i've reviewed the gracie handbook meticulously and can tell you, MANY of the techniques involve disarming only to lay on the ground with your attacker. this has NO place in combat, military, police or street fighting. I will never willingly go to the ground in a true fight for my life...for that alone i disagree with most of gracie disarmament.

  • @sifujosh well the way your thinking as far as military goes is correct...the objective its quite the opposite..and the Gracies have been doing this training for a while now so they already have the most feedback in law enforcements stand point... its not hot ass-air talk lol...this is not theory anymore nor philosophy its already been successful for a couple years now with feedback from the guys who REALLY do it... check out the newest video on this channel for a small amount of insight

  • @sifujosh second the issue now is all the different jurisdictions and only a couple Gracies (rener and ryron ) I dont know where all you people get the idea that this isnt going though a fine-toothed comb when your dealing with law enforcement but opinions are like ass holes everyone has them regardless of what has been tested in the field positively...this is not a game...nor is it a oooh my martial art is better type of deal,it was the choice amongst multiple(hundreds) different options.

  • @whyhategetadayjob I stated very specifically why I personally don't agree with the techniques that I have been shown and seen demonstrated by Gracie BJJ. I'm not spouting off about any one system being better than another either. I watched your video and commented on it accordingly. If you want different opinions or comments, post a more definitive demonstration....I still believe there are far better techniques for disarming your attacker...period.

  • @sifujosh lastly... this is not MY upload only military or law enforcement has access to those seminars and vids this is merely ONE TECHNIQUE FOR 100'S OF DIFFERENT SITUATIONS A PERSON CAN BE IN. ITS A 3 MIN VIDEO GOD DAMN IT...THIS WAS NOT MEANT TO BE A DETAILED CLASS..THE GRACIES JUST SHOW A LITTLE INSIGHT WHEN SOME1 TURNED ON THE CAMERA FOR A COUPLE MINS ON THEIR VACATION AS A TREAT FOR US...THEY DIDN'T KNOW ALL THE TROLLS WOULDN'T GET THAT. LOL JEEZ PEOPLE GET INFORMED BEFORE YOU POST!

  • @whyhategetadayjob I'm prior service marine corps infantry and currently re-enlisting in the army and I've been a close quarter combat instructor for 5 years. I know for a fact that military forces use a blend of techniques that include, but are not exclusive to, Gracie BJJ. All i said was that I think there are better techniques, than the ones I saw here in this video as well as from students of Gracie JJ here in my local town.

  • @sifujosh THANK YOU!!! and your right there are better ones(or shall i say more than over hand and under hand knife attack...not necessarily better)....unfortunately they don't just leak them all over the internet...this is as good as it gets as far as publicity goes...these two Gracies in particular are extremely strict on that.i should know they are my instructions.

  • @sifujosh 3rd I would trust their professional opinions and actual detailed feedback from the field, a million percent more than random internet-politicians,GJJ trolls ,keyboard warriors or youtube-combat-scientist whose never been in any of those situations. (I'm not by any chance implying that your either)

  • @sifujosh Because everyone who doesn't want to go on the ground in a fight won't go on the ground. Yup.

  • @MrAaronch & by the way this is a 3 minute video..this isn't no were near all the Knife Defenses..i should know im their student..it takes a couple months to learn them all..& couple years to perfect..as does anything you do in life..& we practice these moves with rubber knives with random visitors who come to the class just to watch,who are not trained in anything, just swinging like there trying to murder...& it works...u dont think all the 1000s of ppl they trained no1 thought what u did?..ha

  • Comment removed

  • @MrAaronch the U.S army (army rangers)(seals)aint your homeboys in a dojo.....the department of defense wouldn't waste time and MONEY on myths ...i suggest your homies make the switch from bjj to gjj....because if you for a second think they're the same.....your completely mistaken...i will give you the number to Rener Gracie in your inbox if you want and he'll explain the difference for you

  • @whyhategetadayjob Actually there is a current argument over that among the military hand to hand specialists themselves. Research it. They are complaining that all of the Jiu Jitsu incorporated into their systems is not what they need. And they bring people from many different styles, oh and by the way, The army rangers hand to hand system has little to do with jiu jitsu and there is no certain style that the SEALs use. DO you research. Lets not take up anymore of this page.

  • @whyhategetadayjob Many places claim the same crap. And I know several individuals who taught hand to hand to the Army Rangers and Green Berets during their service not 3 years ago. And no your wrong. The Marines use MCMAP and line training. The air force is using a form of karate paired with wrestling and Jiu-jitsu. The Navy is using SARS and Frank Cucci's system.

  • @MrAaronch Dude think what you think..everything i said was fact..if you feel Gjj wont help you by no mean practice it...i dont care if you do or if you dont..i know what Gjj is and if your dedicated the skies the limit..would i rather you practice gjj and become the most complete fighter you can become..yes..can i counter everything you just said with true fact..yes..but i can tell by your determination that you just hate gjj..i hate to a see student lost by internet skepticism..ull c in time.

  • @whyhategetadayjob No, I never said that and no you can't because my information is nothing but pure scientifical fact. I know that gracie jiu-jitsu is the 36 most effective techniques of the system but it is non-lethal. When dealing with an armed attacker you kill him before he kills you by any means possible. If you try to wrestle the man then his 3 buddies that he will most likely have with him will run up and beat the shit out of you while he gets up and slaughters you. my point proven.

  • @whyhategetadayjob Pretending to be smart is just fucking dumb. I said inbox me. We've taken up a whole damn page.

  • @whyhategetadayjob If your active duty army then I'm sure that your familiar with the works of William E. Fairbairn, rex applegate, and Eric A. Sykes? This is where my knowledge and understanding comes from as well as first hand experience. Jiu-Jitsu was invented for dueling without weapons. One on one. Not for knife "fighting". If you still want to argue then I don't feel like taking up a whole page. P.M me.

  • @Xveldin No he is intercepting it,..... and if he's really coming at you then obviously don't run you have to fight but, if you have the option to avoid violence then their is nothing cowardly about that. Granted depending on the situation im not saying run no matter what just that it is sometimes the better option.

  • you guys are the shit!!! THX for sharing your skills!

  • First you want to establish wrist control. Okay, now that you've got wrist control, the next thing you want to do is pull out your gun...

  • @Xveldin You don't block it the blade.... as you can see. And to pull a knife out of your own that would mean you would have enough time to run so thats the optional thing to do.

  • Thank you so much for sharing. The Gracies are the best.

  • no disrespect but this knife defense is choreographed.

  • it's bullshit!!! you can't block a knife!!! it's a suicide...!!!

  • throwing sand, KICK IN THE GROIN is so krav maga

  • Looks like Krav Maga to me but without an immediate counter attack.

  • It is the BEST IN THE WORLD BJJ and GRACIES especially

  • Bullshittt!!!!!

  • Haha typical Gracie thing to do... Go on holiday to get away from all the usual business but whilst were here may swell teach some knife defence for the youtubers :P

  • i remove a couple comment due to my grammer...sorry

  • TO SOME IT ALL UP GJJ IS ALSO BJJ.........BUT BJJ IS A SMALL PORTION OF GJJ IN WHICH BJJ CAME FROM (you dont have constant aggressive striking opponents in bjj its allllll rolling assuming the opponent wrestles you only) hence why Gracie jiu jitsu is the copyrighted term bjj is not. in other words their was COCA-COLA. then many brazilians rushed over here and said damn we cant sell coca-cola brand so heres SODA..looks the quite the same but the quality in ingredients is missing
