This guy is just asking to be arm barred. I love it when people try and choke me while in my guard.

This is horrible and not even real bjj. Who teaches trying to choke someone while you're in their guard?

[BandakaKush]

Well in a street fight, it is highly unlikely the opponent will ever utilize the close guard since most people have no idea about ground fighting.

@shredjedi I'm going to once I get a new camera, trust me. But I do agree with you. Everyone talks, but never put's their own stuff out there. There is a much simpler way to get out of the guard, both for sport and defense. I will cover the defense because I am not a sport oriented person.

[KungFuKid1015]

Good for sport, not the street. Why would you stay on the ground? Now if I am pulled into someone's guard, I am NOT going to put my head on their chest! I am going to maintain a good posture, drive my fist into his groin and or inner thigh to break the lock of the legs.. Once that is done I am on my feet again. No need to grapple at all! This technique is sport oriented, which is fine. But not advisable for a practical self-defense situation.

@daniels37 dude,i have to agree with hairofsteel, japanese jujitsu was the daddy of alot of martial arts which developed from it, and for you to say BJJ is more effective is stupid- its more or less a sport-there is ground grappling in japanese jujitsu also-the basic necessary stuff. whether you like it or not bjj has always been painted as a martial art whereby a smaller man can defeat a bigger man-yeah after years of training, a few nights a japanese jujitsu could get you out of a hole

the guy on the top is risking to be put in an arm bar the first movement after the bicep control when he choke the black guy and after that when he try to take his leg there is an easy triangle. at less this technique would work perfectly if you knock out the other gut first

I love how every video on you tube has at least 100 comments of people that could do it better or give you pointers. Make your own vids chicken shits.
