  • What you guys dont mention is the safty, always give them what they want if all they want is money. If they want more than just your money, thats when you risk these disarming moves.

  • @Snapshot290 Thank you and we totally agree. We have mentioned that in several tips. If you go through and watch more of the TACTICAL TIPS you will see that Jager mentions that a lot. Good point though...we just don't put it in every single tip.

  • butt cheecks of hand

  • But cheek of da hand

  • This is Jiu Jitsu. I like how you are teaching it. It isn't commercialised and pays attention to technique. Not quite what i saw with Brazilian thingimag. You routines - brilliant. Nice Job!

    The 'bobbies' in Bradford (UK) trained some with us but exposure was limited to kattas and escaping grabs.

  • I always wonder how true to life these types of videos are.

    Did the aggressor in this video have a very tight grip? It would seem like that wouldn't make the guy drop his knife if he had a tight enough grip.

    These demo's always seem like they are only good in theory and not in practice.

  • If that would of been a real knife on the first technique all your going to do is give your self a criciodotomy

  • @jiminycricket555 I believe in America we call them balance bracelets

  • but if the goy with the knife hve commando ? u r dead

  • hey mate, thanks for the tactical tip. random question though i was wondering what you guys call those little bracelet type things you have on your wrist? some of the guys i work with make them out of hutchie cord when we're out field and i know theyre popular with the special forces in my country. cheers

  • Knife vs. empty hand is always a risky proposition. I have been taught that first disarm; if you do it wrong, you end up slicing your own neck. Instead of going for the disarm, I rather get to the outside of the knife arm, and go on the offensive; move your head back, slap the knife down while moving to the outside, elbow the head, knee the outside of the thigh push him down and either run or produce a weapon of your own. Not saying it's better, but it might be easier to pull off under stress

  • liked the first one--slap from two sides. not convinced of the second and the level of compliance it'd take to pull it off. you can tell you can handle yourself though, like your stuff
