Frank Mir on Jiu-Jitsu in Street Fights

[@jacksonlittle5993]

Chandler the Michigan Mauler an experienced fighter once told me this when I casually circuit trained in his gym when my brother trained under him in Middleville Michigan. "There are very few reasons you should actually fight, for your country, for what you believe in and to defend yourself or others." Fighting in the street is something you shouldn't do for recreation or for pride because someone can and will die. If you're not mad enough to kill, you're not mad enough to fight. Fighting in the street is for people who don't value their lives or others lives, it's for reckless people.

[@Mack98421]

The only time to fight is when it's for the safety of women, children or a senior. If you're smart there's no reason to ever get in a one-on-one duel/fight. You should recognize the danger and vacate immediately if there's a chance a pointless fight is going to happen. If it gets to the point of a fight then you're doing something wrong. Best advice I ever got was don't stare other dude's down, don't stare into their soul, don't size them up. If you stick to this rule you'll pretty much never get in a fight. This is a rule they use in prison to avoid fights and it works, most conflict starts from one dude squaring up and eyeballing the other guy. If a dude is trying to start beef and you don't square off and don't look him in the eye he almost certainly won't swing, keep your guard ready but don't try to intimidate back. Guys that like to fight are like dogs that match aggression with aggression, if you give them nothing it almost always turns into nothing.

You must be new. There's a tipping point, there are two different worlds. Big dude's that are legitimately tough get challenged all the time by slightly weaker chumps that are insecure. It doesn't happen to smaller guys and it doesn't happen to big guys that look weak. Being big and looking tough is a different experience, other idiot fake tough guys are always starting beef. It's something most people never experience and it's super annoying for big tough dudes that are normal, like Mitch Hooper. I bet he has morons trying to mess with him all the time even though he's a super gentle kind person. The trick is not to give aggression back and end the beef before it starts. Usually they're just barking like dogs with no bite. When you're like Mitch Hooper, Frank Mir or Jon Jones you have to carry yourself differently so as to not even accidentally provoke the idiots.

[@RealYRM]

@@Mack98421Yeah, it's nuts. And most actual trained fighters, I'd think, are not looking to start fights, especially with bigger guys. Because we know what it's like to get hit in the face in sparring. We know what it's like to roll with someone stronger, bigger, better. We also know that you can't tell if someone can fight just by how they look. A guy who has some level of fight training, unless he's an absolute psychopath, is probably not picking a fight with Frank Mir. Even Nate or Nick Diaz probably aren't singling out heavyweights just to try them for no reason. But blue collar idiot "tough guys"? Yes. They will.

Hey Frank, one of Maurice Smith's pro training partners was in the club The Beach in Vegas around 1996, and some guy didn't like his tone of voice and asked him if he wanted to fight. He said sure like it was nothing and they went outside. It relates to the 'duel' thing you said. The pro submitted him and was told "I give up"; after being released, the guy wanted to fight again; same thing happens again; the third time, he used a arm bar hyperextension to make sure the guy was done. The guy didn't even know he was fighting an extreme fighter out of J-Sect.

[@obeastness]

it's not so much having eyes in the back of your head while standing, but the idea that you will be able to strike them harder and knock them out so quick that you can then move and look for the next possible threat. What the massive majority of men don't realize, is that they don't have the technique, and power to actually reliably and quickly knock someone out with a strike either. I was in a situation where I had a guy in a standing rear naked choke, I had my back up against a wall and he was going to go nite nite any moment, I only just noticed at the last moment his friend rushing in on me, I let go of the choke to try and defend against this guys double leg take down, however there was a bunch of tree roots and I end up on the ground, but I managed to roll and get him in a ground and pound position. weeks later the guy I was choking messaged me saying "I could have kicked you in the head while you were on top of my friend" I just told him he should have done it then.

I believe it only because I've worked multiple rowdy night clubs and have had shit like this happen, and have them go to the hospital after with crazy tales of victimhood, which then police are called back and we are left filling out affadavits and having a review done on my security license. People literally go to bars looking for fights. Drunk rednecks that are supposedly tough in their small podunk towns going to the big city. Now I don't know about any one armed as s whooping or ever seen any kicks other than low kicks trying to make distance(not me, im a little to big to be jackie chan), and the only times I've ever seen anyone try to take someone down and roll with them they usually got stomped on by a crowd. Crazy stuff happens when you have 10 to 15 guys managing over 1000 drunk and cooked up people. Every night usually involves crazy altercations, alot of times outnumbered. We usually had faces and enforcement. Essentially guys who were the "social bouncers" like doormen who are usually the ones who love the attention and are alot smaller and try to look good, and enforcers, which are the ones standing back at a post waiting til either shit pops off, or your social bouncers are getting their ass kicked. Most drunks don't even realize they are being profiled upon arrival and watched accordingly by enforcement. It's not hard to beat up a few drunk idiots and have them make up tales of being jumped because of the shame of being beat up 3 on 1. Even if that guy was much bigger, and much more sober.

Being on the feet is important in a fight because your not a sitting duck. Generally in a mallay situation everyone is vulnerable, so it is important to have a self preservation mindset and not indulge in the fight so to speak. Never be passive, but just know it's never fair and best avoided. Cowards generally revel in the idea of doing great damage when it's not a fair fight, although they cannot necessarily be criticised for it all the time because street fights are about all out violence. In a duel situation, guy's like Frank are in their element. They can use their fight IQ and skills to win in variety of ways.

A lot of the criticisms geared towards jiujitsu and self defense is nullified with two things. Firstly, The limitations are applicable towards all unarmed self defense (multiple attackers, weapons, etc.). Secondly, the other limitations are not applicable in true self defense when viewed as a fight you are not voluntarily engaged in. You do not have to worry about an evasive striker with great takedown defense in a situation you are willing to walk away from. Jiujitsu is a very defensive fighting style. A guy lunging at you, trying the hold you down or swinging wildly is the ideal situation to utilize jiujitsu.

[@HJRPodcast]

Brutal

[@happyman1272]

I saw a local well known Black belt BJJ instructor, try to split two large athletic looking men arguing outside a restaurant, late one evening. He grabbed the one who he thought was the main aggressor and took him to the ground, by grabbing him from behind. But unbelievably while he rolled around and gained the mounted position, the other male that he thought he was saving from a beating, kicked him straight in the head laying him out cold. Then the police suddenly arrived, thank god, or who knows what could have happened? I'm in my late 70's so couldn't do much, but it was me that phoned the police. I've seen a lot of things in my life and learnt that the worse place to be in a street fight is on your back, or rolling around the ground. But with Jujitsu that's where you are meant to be, rolling around the floor to incapacitate your opponent, but for me that's not a good thing to do, especially in a street fight. I had a friend, who has now left this world god bless him and he was in a similar situation and just knocked both men out who attacked him, basically within a few seconds of each other, which I thought was much more practical and much more safer for him than BJJ. I know by looking on KZbin, that many BJJ practitioners have called boxing, but maybe they should think again.

I’ve seen people kod cold from punts and stomps, thank god nobody was permanently injured or lost their life. I’ve seen it happen multiple times. Ive even seen bats and clubs with nails as well. I wasn’t saved yet and drinking was involved every time. I’m not proud of this behavior and to be on both ends of it. Best defense is having Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior ❤️. Repent and trust in Jesus he saves

[@kravmagaCDK]

ok, the reason why your better on your feet if there's another person is not because you can't see them. It's because it's easier to get away from them if your on your feet.

[@SuperThesavage]

kinda fucked to do that to someone, u break dudes arm he clearly (more often than not) will not be a threat anymore, trying to cause long term dmg like that on purpose seems a bit much and yes I know any punch could cause that type of dmg often times that does not happen tho, most times you can read a person if they are a real danger to ur life you can tell if this guy is trying to kill me in this fight, if he is not and or if I break his arm and I can tell hes not trying to still come at me and attack me I dont see the point in trying to damage him further UNLESS your life is in danger even after the arm break which often times would not be the case and if it was you would be able to tell and then continue applying dmg

[@davidprivate949]

With respect to Frank's greater point here, the argument is not that someone cant blindside you while you're striking, its that if you stay on your feet you can run immediately if things start to go south - like his friends join in. It's also - and this is inarguable - possible to fight multiple people standing on the feet. We've seen it happen. I've never seen anyone successfully grapple multiple people at the same time on the ground. Doesn't seem like a feasible thing, seems like its really easy for someone to treat your head like a soccer ball while you're trying to get your submission in.

[@williambarton5681]

It's possible to fight multiple people one at a time on the feet. As soon as they crowd in you, you are screwed. So in both grappling and striking the aim is to attack and disengage. But not knowing grappling makes it much harder to disengage if they have already grabbed you.

[@southtxguitarist8926]

This has been a standard counter for years, and yes, it makes sense at first; you probably don't want to go to the ground if there's more than one person attacking you. BUT, and this is a big one, hear this: I trained stand up martial arts for years, thinking it was all I needed. So what do you do if the group that's attacking you has a grappling guy who'll throw your ass on the ground and start pounding on you from the better position? The problem with NOT training grappling is you will have literally no idea how helpless you'll be against a good grappler in a "real fight." This was the story over and over and over in proto "MMA," back when there were almost no rules, rounds, judges, weight classes, or time limits. The elite strikers were routinely beaten by grapplers. The other assumption here is grappling only means going to the ground. A good submission grappler can choke you unconscious or break your arm from a standing position too, and he can use you as a shield/hostage to keep your friends from jumping in. Last, but not least, if you don't know how to fall correctly a good grappler can disable of even kill you just from throwing you to the ground. "No rules in street fights" means he can pile drive you onto your head on concrete.

[@corybrown416]

How are you supposed to run away if the person who has blind sided you has knocked you to the ground with the punch to the back of of the head or what if they grab you from behind, or what if they cut off your exit from running. No, martial art is effective against multiple attackers but at least with grappling you can control a person physically and end a fight more effectively, not everyone has Hail Mary knockout power to end fights with one punch.

Mir acting like he lives where predators are frequently lurking. The vast majority of people go their whole lives without getting into a fight.

There is only one good outcome in a street fight, but there are a lot of potential bad outcomes.
