Great advice, as always, Professor. Never allow anyone to pick you up… Even if his intentions are good, what if he slips by accident? The safest is to open your guard and sit up. If you have worked hard to get your opponent into closed guard, and don’t want to give it up, you can try putting your arms and hands behind your head, creating a much longer lever for the opponent to have to lift. Much more difficult to lift you up, as you said. I always learn a ton from you.
the best way is to simulate a slam, meaning, if you catch me in a triangle and i stand up, the ref should reset, signifying a submission fail. or a slam. this would make it more realistic for street self defense.
I just finished a seminar with Ricksons black belt Chris Burns. Opened my eyes to Ricksons JJ. Made me (purple belt) to relearn the hip escape, body ends up looking like a pyramid/triangle
Use Judo, play a standup offense and standup defense game and don’t focus on pulling guard and attacking from guard unless you are forced and end up in a guarded position. I try to primarily sweep from bottom positions, because I prefer to establish a top position with a pin before submitting. If you have to in a self defense situation, you can easily strike from a top position where you have all the control of the other person. Bottom playing is purely are sport dynamic. Most bottom players pull guard immediately and they tend to invert their positions from bottom to isolate a limb/joint or setup a triangle to submit. You can get good at that but that is really a sport Jiu Jitsu approach. That is not going to work in a fight 9 out of 10 times because people can freely kick and strike you from a bottom position and slam you. If you train a standup and focus of passing the guard, taking people down, covering the distance to a clinche, and controlling someone by taking them to the ground, if you get very good at this, you can use this both in sport Jiu Jitsu context to win to control the person with a pin and it works in a fight as well because striking is readily available and likely will lead to the other person exposing an easy submission. You can fight and win all fights 99% of the time like the Gracie Garage fights did. Pulling guard and butt scooting is a sport Jiu Jitsu construct. Not good for self defense situation. If you train in the standup takedown offense and standup defense with a focus on passing guard, pinning and submitting, it works both ways for Jiu Jitsu and self defense. Especially with the closing the distance safely and body clinche to take-down to the ground. Love the Rickson and Rolls story! Better to lose by disqualification than by submission 😅
Great stories 👍most submissions only tournaments allow slamming but IBJJF doesn’t allow slamming. Learn the rules every tournament has different rules and don’t forget no rules in a street fight 👊🏻‼️
Enter a Bjj tournament When the match starts, don’t defend yourself. Watch what happens. Start a fight with someone who doesn’t train at all. Attack them with 100% effort takedowns and submission attempts as if you were trying to win a championship Bjj match. Watch what happens.
I got slammed really, really hard at an ibjjf tournament when I was a Purple Belt and I looked at the ref he kinda rolled his eyes and shook his head no😂
Which one would you recommend learning for something like King of the Streets? If you dont know its an mma promotion but the rules are different. Its bareknuckle mma on concrete and you can headbutt, eye gouge, bite, curb stomp, soccer kick, etc? If i wanted to fight for that promotion would sport be more effective or since its literally anything goes on concrete the self defense aspect is better?
His father didn't train him, he joined a gym with questionable philosophy, and I'm not certain he knows Gracie Jiujitsu or moreover is unable to use Gracie Jiujitsu in a sport setting. Let's not forget - Gracie Jiujitsu is designed to defend oneself against large untrained attackers, with no rules, no time limits. Nothing in MMA or UFC comes close to this since the old days. To think an athletic sport like MMA or football alone demonstrates quality of a martial art superiority seems like a fallacy
@@ShumierAnd I hear Kron was hanging with the Diaz brothers and got on marijuana.. that’s cool if that’s his thing, but it just leads more to the point of he was not trained by his father like you said…. If he still on marijuana, he’ll never be long-term successful in MMA. Yeah, I said it. The Diaz Brothers were okay fighters, but they were never champions in the UFC….
There have been many successful BJJ practitioners in modern day MMA, even champion. Damien Maia, Jacare Souza, and former UFC HW champion Fabricio Werdum just to say a few…. Kron is not ready for MMA and probably never will be. Kron represents himself in his work ethic in modern-day MMA. He needs to adjust and adapt or get out of the MMA and go back to sports BJJ…
@@nmr20067 Kron is 36 years old. He is past his prime, he simply has no future competing in MMA nor BJJ. He can become a great teacher and transmit his father's style.
Rickson and Kron need to reconcile. Bryce slam Kron in a bad way at UFC. Rickson can teach Kron better. Fathers and Sons relationship are more important than jiujitsu. Peace and love. Peace and love.
Not necessarily, it's about a mindset. In the Gracie gym that I used to participate in there where many positions and guards that you didn't see during our practice that you would routinely see in competitions. You would actually get corrected routinely for doing maneuvers that would leave you vulnerable to punches and other strikes. We even kept head butts in mind as well. Not to mention that during the Gracie Combatives classes you would glove up on Friday's to gently simulate punches with grappling. Not perfect but closer to the reality of a fight.

Love it.. history.. and education. Enjoy your many talks.
Thank you!
Great video! 🙌

Good idea on the reset.
This is Judo Ruleset.
Fr this is a good rule to keep ppl safe same time rewarding traing realisticly
I love this topic ;)

bjj should have a high lift rule, like what old judo had. it would make bjj more realistic while keeping it safe 🌞🤗

Opinions on combat jiu jitsu?
I like it.
opinion about combat/slap bjj? nick pace showed an interesting bottom game.

That's not a "promotion" it's bum fights for people with heads empty even before the CTE sets in
What’s your thoughts on Kron Gracie getting KO’d doing Gracie JJ? He jumped guard in an actual fight lol
His father didn't train him,
he joined a gym with questionable philosophy,
and I'm not certain he knows Gracie Jiujitsu or moreover is unable to use Gracie Jiujitsu in a sport setting.

There is no guard jumping in Gracie jiu jitsu. Influenced by competitive bjj and paid the price unfortunately.
Get on top, stay on top, smash and control. That's what jiu-jitsu should be about.
Literally Jiu is in the name.
You meant submission grappling, luta libre, or wrestling. This is not Jiujitsu.
Rickson and Kron need to reconcile. Bryce slam Kron in a bad way at UFC. Rickson can teach Kron better. Fathers and Sons relationship are more important than jiujitsu. Peace and love. Peace and love.
I agree. But not because it’s GM Rickson and Kron. I think parents and children should always strive to maintain a healthy relationship.
Every time anyone rolls, they’re doing “sport” jiujitsu. Just saying.
