First Five Clinch Entries Vs Striking - Jiu-Jitsu Self Defense

[@bwkid1]

Great video. I train most days, and i have been a profesional bouncer for many years. This is the stuff i use on a regulal basis. And i know it works. There are a couple of points in the video i havent used. But i will be trying at training. Thank you guys.

[@MyZ001]

What would you say is the top 2 to 3 common de-escalation/neutralization/control techniques you've used

[@icenic_wolf]

Putting 'sticky hands' on their fists when they put their dukes up works *so* well. Everybody always laughs when I suggest that it works, but in my experience, it works great (especially if your sticky hands are just a little 'heavy').

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Definitely. I knew this would be the one people would be most sketchy about, but it’s legit. IYKYK

[@MyZ001]

How TF are they letting you get close enough to do that without punching you in the face? Is it because they're like "I got my hands up cause that's what you're supposed to do in this situation (right?). But, uhhh... I don't REALLLY wanna fight. Fuck, guess I gotta play this out"

[@ejeverett4322]

So you use it in combination with footwork. So while moving in and out maintaining distance you time your shot. The goal is the slap the hands down but they resist by holding them up, then you use the sticky hands. It’s not necessarly because they just stood there. Is simply for when you can’t clear them instead of letting go hold on.

I always really appreciate when you do stand-up grappling/clinch stuff. The strikers in your audience thank you. You see that body scissor sweep in just about every single martial art regardless of geography or origin -- kung fu, karate, judo, kali, silat, greco-roman wrestling, etc. -- precisely because that "merging" engagement is such a universal problem. There's also a ton of Wing Chun theory in the section on covering hands. Great stuff. I'd be excited to see the entries to some standing chokes and locks as a follow on. Great stuff as always.

[@JustSomeGuy69420]

2:45 is called Sukui Nage for anyone who is curious. Awesome throw that you don't see super often.

[@mgherter]

Good technique and useful information as always. Special shoutout to the editor....the little cutaways showing the technique with the voiceover were helpful.

[@fredrikzels2637]

Loved this video as I started jiu-jitsu for the self defense aspect. Always good to refresh the memory with some stand up defence of strikes. Thx guys!! Oss

[@truebeliever8605]

Thank you i like your self defense realted videos keep up the good work

[@davidtice4972]

Excellent!! Sharing!!

[@bcjaliu]

Fantastic tutorial !!! Many Thanks! I’m only a 2nd stripe 54 white belt in BJJ, so I could be wrong, but clinching and then doing a clinch based takedown just seems like the least risky and most effective and efficient way to approach things, as opposed to single and double leg takedowns, especially in a self defense situation.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I absolutely agree with that. I think it would be hard to argue otherwise. Thanks, my friend.

[@uchenwokedi6812]

Awesome techniques!!!

[@seanfuhrman2882]

Love these guys!

[@robindavis7023]

Thanks!

[@Stuntsandtricking]

Would love to see a video for entries to close the distance for mma💪 really wanna study your punch protection stuff more soon. I been working my wrestling a lot and have gotten extremely good with my takedowns and want to start using my bjj offensively for mma💯

[@damodarblanco2998]

Excellent vid!

[@cbeaudry4646]

The snap-on braclet is a great analogy Also that pull-back matt-return is my favorite; quick & effective using little energy More vids on this topic! Maybe demonstrating with boxing gloves & a sparring helmet

[@cbeaudry4646]

Btw sorry if you already have, but you should do a video on the single-leg ride (or crossbody) Also the highly-underappreciated Hillbilly-Roll

[@adamwood87]

i'd like to see an in-depth video about that Muay Thai dump at 3:25 - we do the sucker punch, and haymaker defense at my gym, but i've not seen that MT dump version before.

[@RecordsPopular]

excelente gracias por el aporte

Thank you anonymous whitebelt! 😂 🙏

When I wanna find videos on how to transition my grappling to MMA this channel is my first stop. Thanks boss 🫡

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you and I’m happy it helps!

Thanks Eli

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you too!

[@samuelpierre-louis2529]

Awesome

What part of NC are you in???

[@oliversacks3837]

I’ve seen some reconstructions of samurai battles and noticed that they “crash” into the clinch to initiate throws/takedowns rather than grip fighting or shooting for doubles, very interesting and similar! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZqtamVurc-YiKM

[@waltherwagner9711]

Works really well in self defence

[@SurajSinghGulia]

Does the guillotine put pressure on the windpipe or on the arteries

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Primarily the windpipe and secondarily the arteries

[@chanbru]

Great video, prof. Eli. Can you also make a video about defense against shirt grab and punch? Many videos of different martial arts teach dealing with the grabbing hand first. I disagree because as soon you hold than arm, you may eat a punch or two. Thank you.

[@AnimeKidGod1]

You could do a two on one kinda and turn your back to him and throw don't know the proper name or try thumb blocking the arm that's gonna hit you or grab it and the one holding you try getting your hand inside bending his arm and get in close to clinch. I came up with it in my mind might work or might now idk.

[@chanbru]

@@AnimeKidGod1 thanks for the suggestion. I’ve done judo for many years. But still find judo arm throws hard to used in real self defense. Judo hip throws and leg trips/sweeps are easier to be used in self defense though. If throws in general were that easy, we would see them used more in BJJ Competitors. Thank you.

[@samuelpierre-louis2529]

Exceptional

[@VISHNUVISHNU-xx3xj]

How to defend straight punches and uppercuts...?

[@aaronclarke405]

The second one will be different if the guy is orthodox stance as his legs will be reversed?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

If he switches stances, one of the other options works better. Thats why I try to include multiple options from multiple scenarios. Watch the whole video and you’ll see what works best for which

[@djignatin4043]

I have been doing karate since college. I have some boxing as well. I feel striking is the only thing that BJJ is weak in.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I’ve done a lot of striking all my life, mostly boxing and Muay Thai. I agree that jiu-jitsu doesn’t have sufficient striking.

[@djignatin4043]

@@KnightJiuJitsu Muay Thai is the great. Boxing is good too. For a long time, it was the Number one street defense. (The influence of Rocky Balboa) Nowadays, JJ is a damn tidalwave.. I have decided I had better get myself a surfboard. But I LOVE KARATE. I can't divorce it.

[@cbeaudry4646]

I'd say BJJ doesn't have enough wrestling which doesn't have enough shooting on strikers like in this vid Doing stuff like this video at BJJ or Wrestling is more effective (& pragmatic) than training pure boxing as well

[@djignatin4043]

@@cbeaudry4646 I was on the high school wrestling team. Wrestling has a lot of holds and takedowns, but it is not nearly as good with regard to submissions.
