One-Stripe White Belt Gets into Street Fight!

Спорт

John Ikuma is a one-stripe white belt in the Gracie Combatives program who hasn't trained for over 5 months. On Friday, March 24, his jiu-jitsu was put to the test when he intervened in a violent assault. The very next day, he returned to class and he broke down the entire incident for Rener as well as all the students in attendance at the 10am Gracie Combatives class. John managed the distance AND the damage. Amazing!

If you're part of the Gracie family as a student, you should do all in your power to stay a part of the fam. Because you will have the best caliber of people that always push you, slways encourage you , and always have your back (and sides, front, top, bottom, in, out, etc) and will treat you like the brother you are.

    What I love about Gracie Combatives is that it is street defense oriented Jiu Jitsu working from a clinch against an opponent who's main arsenal is striking - every position in Combatives assumes you are being struck at with punches.

    " every position in Combatives assumes you are being struck at with punches.", yeah, they assume [for no good reason] you can safely eat a punch on the way in, absorb a rabbit punch on the ground and then gain dominance... but they do not assume being gouged, ripped, neck-cranked, stabbed or kicked or grappled by another attacker. So it is lunacy for the street.

    Daniel Skipp They (we, us, me) do not assume you can safely eat a punch on the way it. One of our rules says - who manage the distance, manage the damage. We tell all students the first thing they have to think about is protecting themself from striking. There is no such thing like "absorbing a rabbit punch and gain dominance". Every situation is different. Every opponent is different. Depends on indicators from a "bad guy" - you protect yourself at first, then make them tired while you preserve your energy and finish the fight if you have to. Being gouged or grappled - false. You will learn during gracie combatives how to defend yourself from that. Ripped - Women empowered - different course. Men dont get ripped Neck-crank and stabbing with a sharp object ect - less common behaviour on the street (according to statistics). Same with the kicks, If someone can headkick other person it means that is skilled opponent....no one leg kick on the street. And you got to be very unlucky to be knock-out by kick to the liver on the street by unskilled opponent. Please, go to any ctc close to you and just try....You will have a free trial...judge Gracie Combatives course after you try it....not before

    As a retired police lieutenant and black belt holder in Korean Tae Kwon Do with some training in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, I will say that first instinct is to help someone in need. However, as a police officer you'd be surprised how many domestic violence calls I'd go on to find similar situations where husband beating wife or sister, mother, etc.. The second we had the suspect in custody the family turns against us. These types of situations are dangerous because the sister could have turned against him. Not only that, but you risk getting shot or really hurt if there are multiple attackers - hence the reason I trained in Tae Kwon Do for over 40 years. Granted, jiu-jitsu is brutal one on one, but speaking from experience I am sure glad I have mastered a few kicks and hand to hand combat in a multiple attacker situation. Of course someone well trained in jiu-jitsu should be able to handle more than one attacker, but the art is geared more toward one on one.

It doesn't make any sense in a great way, you think you're making progress and then something Amazing happens and you learn again. It's the most humbling experience in a self defence format, all your old assumptions are just blown away. If you go with the attitude of I'm here to learn, tap often and ask people to explain you'll love it. Give it a try!

Not many people are going to get out of their vehicle to help because they already see the situation as being handled. Reminds me of the time I pulled my car over to help a broke down van out of the road, only me and the driver pushed it out of rush hour traffic because they saw one person helping another and saw that as enough people. Sure would have been nice to have at least 4 people instead of me and the driver push a 1500 pound vehicle up a small incline. Sure anyone could do it, but most people aren't going to, this is the age of electronics and apathy. Nobody gives a shit as long as it's not impeding their day.

So because the floor is lava, Jiu-Jitsu doesn't work, because you take your oponent to the ground. That's the whole joke. Btw lava is also part of the portugese word for lever "aLAVAnca"

    just came to the realization that, when me and my brothers fought growing up, we unknowingly were using BJJ techniques against each other. Albeit basic stuff, but still pretty much what you see in this video. No matter how hard we fought we never punched/kicked, so our fights, and there were many, involved grappling. (important to know that i'm a triplet so most fights were more or less equal in terms of strength). Such a weird feeling watching this video realizing that. I suppose BJJ is kinda pure, or rather a "natural" fighting style in that after trial and error, fight after fight, these moves just emerged over the course of our roughhousing. dope

    MaharlikaAWA When I started BJJ we were under the Gracies. White belts got a stripe after so many classes. I think it was 20 classes for each stripe but not sure exactly how many classes. After the 4th stripe they had to take a test to get their blue belt. There was a blue belt curriculum also. They had to test for their first blue belt stripe. After that stripes were given as the instructor saw fit. We are no longer under Gracie’s. Every organization does promotions a little different.
