This looks great if you are in a competition, but it is completely irresponsible to pass this off as self defense. First, the number one rule of self defense is not to go to the ground, and, if you do, get up as soon as possible. He started this from a superior position, so why not strike to the head while getting to your feet. Then you can leave the situation and avoid further conflict. I am a self defense intructor, and I could not pass this off in good conscience to my students.

it's cool I'll try it on one of my friend :D

The best thing to do in this situation from a "Self defence" standpoint would be to get up, hit him the face while you're doing so, then run.

fact is you don't always know what situation you will have to fight in and what is on the line. So its stupid to say "this isn't good self defense" or this won't work on "the streets" i find people over enphasis the supposed deadly streetfighter. this idea of all fights are gonna be on a pavement filled with nothing but broken glass & aids needles while being surrounded by tons of multiple opponents ready to pounce the moment it hits the ground is preposterous . train to end it wherever it goes

@davidgard53  but it does show how if the fight does go to the ground how to at least get in a position where u have the upper hand

@davidgard53

Open your mind! When you know Jiu jitsu, you could defend better from the ground against a stronger attacker. Someone may also attack if one is laying down. Either way it is good to defend form the feet, but it is even better to know how to defend and finish from the ground.

@mmawilldesha Yeah, the point i was trying to make with the bruce lee quote is that you should do what works for you based on your strengths, and to always allow reinterpretation to rules youve been taught, because different styles and techiniques work well with different physical and mental abilities. As far as street fights go i think grappling is a great choice for me because I have the abilities, and people who dont always react the wrong ways, and probably think theyre getting raped.

@arisaka101 I think that's the D'arce Choke

[mmawilldesha]

@Pettyh Good point, but you know a lot of people are ignorant or at least as far as grappling goes.I've won many street fights with my grappling mind you I never use it when there's multiple opponents, or weapons involved, but it is useful.I always say you must be prepared for anything, and I'm a smaller guy 5'7 139 pounds with a 67 inch reach even though I'm very strong for my size going toe to toe is still a bad idea for me considering most people i've fought out weighed by 50 pounds or more.

@davidgard53 "Number one rule of self defense in not to go to the ground" are you kidding me? Maybe not against multiple opponents but some grappling is good for multiple people, see: shinya aoki waka gatame, or any takedown can do serious damage on pavement and you dont have to follow them to the ground.

if you were the grandmaster of the zen you claim to be, you would know that a choke does absolutely no permanent damage when applied right, it will make them unconscious for 15 seconds or so as well, giving you the chance to run/call the cops. Also, It isn't uncommon for a guy who attacked you to file a lawsuit, especially if he's the one walking away with the cuts and bruises from you punching them in the face repeatedly, but if you choke them out, it wont leave any long term marks or evidence.

self defence? If you tried that on with me you would have no Balls left!
