couldnt you wrap your arms around there back, pull then into you and trap there ankle with ur heel, bridge and get in guard?

@joeysmokesz195 Paraplegics can't do that. That is why the video is for paraplegics.

[bjjartist]

use the legless trap and roll its much safer as you don't get hit. As a bjj purple belt i use it everyday against guys much bigger than me.

[NotMe1357]

@bjjartist that would require use of the persons lower body and trunk muscles to perform. Paraplegics don't have use of those muscles.

[bjjartist]

@NotMe1357 some trunk use is required to bring the person down on top of yes. but there are other methods of doing that(a groin strike as you show does work). This escape requires ZERO leg strength its NOT a traditional as taught by the gracies its a modified version my instructor(A Carlson Gracie Black Belt) taught me after i explained i can't do traditional escapes due to my cerebral palsy limiting my lower body mobility. If you can roll over you can do this escape trust me.

[NotMe1357]

@bjjartist I appreciate the detailed rely. My point is that a lot of paraplegics with a higher level of injury, myself included, can't roll over without use of our arms. And even if we could. The opponent would just counter-roll.

@NotMe1357 at 2:15 adding a flashlight or pocket stick to this will really add to it striking the chest and arms with them would really injure a ground and pound attacker

@NotMe1357 i meant 25 yrs,im 38 yrs old.I mentioned competition because thats where the opponent is really trying to best you,at least in full contact and grappling styles whereas in self defense training its generally compliant in most schools.I dont need to be handicapped to know that defenses from the bottom without legs desnt work,its very difficult to do with full use of the legs if the attacker is really agressive

@billysue2 The only thing that is a joke is a child who trains for 2 years and believes he understands combat very clearly. Please come back when you reach maturity. The fact that you even mention competition shows your total lack of understanding. This video has nothing to do with competition. Do you also tell blind people that they cannot read braille because you can't? Do you tell deaf people that they cannot read lips because you don't know how? Grow up!
