  • lol. i love people that don't have a clue what they are talking about. when put in a triangle you aren't in a position to bite a guys balls. if you think otherwise you've never been put in one. and i love training with people that think dirty tactics will get them out. that's EXACTLY what a jiu jitsu guy wants lol

  • I've trained BJJ, but now Krav Maga.. But the thing is, someone who is trained in Krav Maga, would probably never let you take him in such a position.. We are trained to always keep standing and never get taken to the ground. We are taught ground fighting too, for just in case. Before someone wants to take us in like a triangle,, he already got a feet, fist, finger-strike to his face and some kicks and knees to the groin.

see all

  • this guy would finish brock lesnar in 3 seconds

  • "I'm going to take his leg, and put myself into a triangle choke."

    If you tried this on any blue belt or even white belt bjj guy you would get choked out or give your back.

    

  • you cant be one sided. why have krav maga vs bjj. Why not take both one at a time and mix the two to gain more knowledge. The best martial artist in the world lived by that same philosophy why fight and compare. Better to learn as much as you can

  • i tried that move in grappling when i didn't have that much experience. soon i had my hand wrapped behind my back, got sweeped, mounted and submitted within 10 seconds or so. not saying it wouldn't work but it certainly doesn't work against experienced grappler.

  • @suuperduperfish well thats is bullshit jiu jitsu is not the ultimate If I have a knife your jiu jitsu is out of the window you may start off doing jiu jitsu but you will drop that like a bad girl friend when the knife comes out!

  • I love Krav Maga.......

    But if you do this on a grappler, you will definitely get your back taken as you turn to grab the foot.

    If I was in someone's guard in the street, I would definitely start raining down vertical elbows to the groin.

  • @DreDre2411 In that situation I would plant my foot on the hip, then hook my other foot around the back of my attacker's knee From there I'd pull his feet out from under him and use his falling momentum to pull myself on top, where I could control the knife. I was taught this defense in Krav Maga. It is better than any other defense I can think of in such a situation. And it is a technique borrowed from Jiujitsu, often being employed in MMA.

  • @xAristaicx I can't speak for Krav Maga Worldwide and Commando Krav, but in Israeli Krav International we're taught elements from Jiujitsu, American Wrestling, and Aikido, among others. We don't directly draw from MMA, but many of the styles common in MMA have been integrated. But, as the trainer says in this video, a Krav Maga background, while giving you some knowledge of ground fighting, doesn't enable you to go toe to toe with someone specialized in jiujitsu when on the ground.

  • i wish it was that easy to escape from guard... i wonder why the gracies or anyone else that is a master at jiu jitsu and has been doing this there whole lives and knows all the moves possible to everything grappling and is the master of grappling hasnt told me about this escape from guard... i hope you guys know if this move wont work against someone who has been training jiu jitsu for longer then 3 months. this might work on the kids that see full guard in ufc and then try to do it

  • @xAristaicx mma is just a sport krav maga is a martial art. There arnt rules in fighting. If someone comes at you with a knife and your on the ground and your pinned your not gonna go for a leg lock period. Krav maga has nothing to learn from mma.
