I don't care for Jujitsu or any other grappling discipline, but I can appreciate the ease with which Professor Freddy Trillo explained things.

[@Blackbeltcop]

Thanks Berenger!

[@Nanology101]

"I don't need to throw him, I know he can fly."

[@russellbray4594]

Thanks. It is great to see realistic defence applications back in the martial arts.

[@Blackbeltcop]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Tom-tw1wd]

Great lesson, this guy seems like a good teacher really chilled out

[@Blackbeltcop]

Thank You Tom. Im just being me helping people out.

[@Blackbeltcop]

This video is a few years old, I will be doing a new one soon. Everything evolves🤙🏽👮🏽‍♀️

[@SomoshiphopRadio]

Old School Self Defense! Love it! Real Teacher right there!

[@JoosWulfe]

That's a really interesting lesson , thank you for sharing your knowledge !

[@dostma1]

Nice video, I like the control of the hands. You know you don't have to throw him you can sweep him.

[@Blackbeltcop]

That's true!

[@luthercharles3025]

I loved your explanation on how to anticipate if he us going to throw a punch. Very street smart skills

[@Scott-xb7ov]

A few keys for the throw is 1) getting your feet inside your opponents and 2) grabbing their belt, or back of their pants with whichever hand thats going around their waist and 3) getting your hip in deep enough to be able to pick them up with it. It’s not as easy as it looks and requires a LOT of practice to be able to pull it off in a real fight.

[@Blackbeltcop]

Thanks Scott, I have actually evolved this defense and throw. I agree, not easy to step in front of a resisting subject, but it can be done if you practice it frequently. Remember, doing against an untrained person in the street is kinda the easy part, the hard part is against someone who knows.

[@hoppy760]

Great video! I also like to do the uchi mata from that position as an option. For me it feels easier. Keep up the good work. Oss!

[@johnnyangel3683]

Great demo,cool ,calm ,collected just the facts mam!

[@Blackbeltcop]

Thank You John!

[@44556613able]

I like the video. My personal big lesson is not the technique...its the fact that i need to calm down. much respect to you smiling and waiving at someone who just gave you the finger....i will work on it

[@IsabelDiazJr]

One of the better/realistic counters I’ve seen. Thank You

[@Blackbeltcop]

Thank you

[@baldieman64]

I agreed with him up to around the 4 minute mark. Engage, keep your hands up, create a physical and psychological "fence" etc but if he's going to throw, pre-emptively hit him. If you are forced to block, block and hit, don't block both arms and aim to clinch. Clinching means going to the ground and you never ever want to be on the ground in a real fight. Sticking your head on the guy's chest as shown at the 5 minute mark is going to result in his fingers in your eye and him trying to rip your head off - especially if you haven't hit him and are anticipating 30 seconds of tussle. It also means that for those 30 seconds, you have no idea whether his buddy is walking up behind you with a baseball bat.

[@johnmatthews5974]

Possible response against a single unarmed aggressor that might end well. There are two problems with relying on this kind of response, however. First of all, those people are often not alone, and you don't know what's in his back-pocket or his sock. Does he have a friend hanging back? Secondly, you know what's coming in the dojo, but you don't know what's coming in the street. Is it a haymaker, an elbow, a headbutt, a knee, an uppercut, a concealed knife? It is safer to train for universal solutions - pre-emptive punching from a safe position. The hands up in the danger zone is a must, but grappling should always be plan B. Self-defense is self-defense. You should not worry about hurting your aggressor, your only focus should be to defend yourself effectively and fast. If someone is squaring up on you and acts in a threatening manner, you should not rely on your reflexes, you've got to act - now! If you have the luxury of time to train for multiple scenarios, like a drunk uncle you can hip-throw, by all means do, but know that grappling in the street makes you lose sight of what's going on around you, and if other people start joining in, or a weapon appears, you've lost control. I know it has a feel-good vibe to train for pacifying people without hurting them, but the reality of naked aggression has nothing to do with feeling good. Geoff Thompson is the guru of martial arts applied to self defense. Check out his stuff.

[@Blackbeltcop]

John good points, and I always address everything you mention. However, like to tell everyone who mentions the 1 vs several question. You must first learn to fight 1 guy, before you can even think about fighting more than 1. As for the several guys jumping you at once, well I hope you have a Gun because there isn't much you can do if several guys jump at you at the same time.

[@SergioArroyoSailing]

excellent instruction! great technique very clear and precise, also great to relate it to real world scenarios. In the future , could you please please mount the camera on a tripod? That would be very much appreciated :)

[@johnmichaelrollon6922]

Great, very applicable, thanks

[@Danny_Lopez_]

great video demonstration

[@tcbtcb7553]

GOOD EXAMPLE!! GUARD UP- ATTACK THE ATTACK!! DO NOT HESITATE.

[@SabeelCombatives]

Nice. Even though a hip throw against a punch is not my favorite response, I like how you set it up here.

[@bashlivingstonstampededojo882]

awesome video loved it good sucker punch defense

[@petertracanna6679]

Thanks for this Very Important technique! As a bouncer, I have to deal with the "Sucker Punch" on a nightly basis.

[@rcchristian2]

Yeah.. I've used the uchi mata before, but not from that sucker punch entry. It's a nice combo.

[@FNDG1]

I like this channel, but please try to use a fixed camera

[@thegamechanger2058]

[@1brighthorizon]

Impressive demo of this technique

[@kentberry6969]

Pretty good audio. I can hear your voice loud & clear. I'd love to see your channel shot with a steadicam. Thanks for posting. I love Gracie Combatives, and you're an awesome teacher.

Thank You Kent!

Trillo Academy

[@brandonkain9231]

awsome lesson

[@ProVoK]

Awesome vid

[@Mirandorl]

I like this video :) The block you do with the left hand, is it used similar to wing chun where you use a soft, absorbing or wedging force, or is it more like karate and used as a hard block to the arm? It looks as though a hook could slip round it, so is there some technique to it preventing the movement? I like the psychology aspects in there as well, hadn't thought about the side turn

[@grant9005]

How do you block a punch instead of moving into them from a bigger guy who can just pick you up and throw you if you get close

[@antoniodominguez3839]

Good stuff!!!!

[@calebsammy1725]

Good teacher

[@jpf7007]

Thank you

[@madjack821]

T-position!! Love it!

[@bestofbudo264]

Haha, I wanted to talk about the cameraman, but I can others already done so. Thanks for the video, master!

[@Sgtbigmike]

Good video, don't practice Brazilion Ji Jitsu but Judo. We teach this exact thing in my Judo class. I think the O-toshi (which is what this particular throw is called) is fantastic for self defense purposes. Respect from the Judoka to you BJJ Gracie Combatives guys.

[@Blackbeltcop]

Thank you Mike. There are various throws you can do from this position. This is a good example of not just practicing your Jiujitsu, but your throws, striking etc. all must be practiced. Only then after repeated repetition training will you develop the instincts to handle all the "What If's".

[@MrChompy]

Great info.! Great communication. Camera work...ah. I only say this because I was so intent on watching that when the camera jumped around, it took away from the lesson Master Trillo was teaching. Still appreciated though.

[@Blackbeltcop]

We have come a long way. New videos aren't shaky:)

[@salsa4umoudrik141]

hi, does it work if a lady of 55kg is attacked by a guy of 90kg? Can she pull him on her hip?

[@juwysock5570]

Hello, First of all, I would like to thank you for the quality of your videos ! I can feel your passion through your demonstrations ! :D Otherwise, I'd like you to give me a few tips for my Gracie Jiu Jitsu journey please :) Actually I'm just beginning at home with the Gracie University :) By the way, what do you think of GU ? Best regards, Julien from France.

[@brynjones3445]

2 stripe brown belt here in Gracie jiu jitsu. Practice slow, if you can do it slow you can do it fast.

[@brynjones3445]

Especially takedowns

[@MikeTMak03]

Really good teacher!!

[@Blackbeltcop]

Thank You Mike

[@MikeTMak03]

+Trillo Academy hey Mr trillo @4:08 what if he throw an straight punch not an haymaker or over hand??

[@brucecharlie8613]

Have you thought about using Tiotoshi based throw rather than a hip throw because hip throws don't work on fat or heavy people in my experience... kneewaza kataguruma works quite well aswell in a clinch

[@Blackbeltcop]

Charles, there are many other variables that go into account. I don't have time in this short video to address them all, but we do have other throws for heavier person.

[@brucecharlie8613]

Trillo Academy I know but its worth mentioning that in videos regarding thows, because people whoo have never done this get it in their head this would work against anyone and it definitely doesn't - its a self defence video you have a responsibility about what you tell people cause they will get hurt if they try that in a real street fight.

[@-Bob12345]

Blading body could also mean he will arm himself with a weapon

[@Blackbeltcop]

Yes, and that is why you always watch the hands ;)

[@abukhalid7447]

Genuine question. What if the guy gets you in a headlock with the arm that's not wrapped up,could you still excute the same throw?

[@Blackbeltcop]

I have since modified this technique to an even easier takedown. To answer your question, yes you can still get out. It doesn't matter if he holds my head or not. In many cases, holding my head is prefered as he cannot hit and hold at the same time. If he wanted to hit me, he would have to release his grip and then I could escape easier. I hope this helps. Sensei Freddy

[@NormenBatez]

I've been working moves from his position.

[@bensalahyoucef8749]

but take care you can receive ahead from your attacker

[@iloverumi]

thanks

[@matkasim]

one other thing , to throw, the attacker's centre of gravity must be higher than the thrower..

[@dogguyful]

Thanks👌👌👍👍🥋🥋

[@ryanp758]

What about the headbutt to the nose?that usually ends a row

[@Blackbeltcop]

Yes it does!

[@SteelRhinoXpress]

Yeah in a street fight especially when you're dealing with multiple threats at once a headbutt after you block someones punches with this technique would be the safest and fastest solution. The last thing you want to do is to get into a grappling situation when you're dealing with multiple threats at once, because you'll be opening yourself up to all kinds of problems then. a few years ago there was a fight outside a bar i went to and one guy took the other guy to the ground and the dudes friend that got taken to the ground came in and head kicked the other guy ontop of his friend knocking him out cold. That's why grappling in a street fight can be soo dangerous because you never know how many threats you may have to deal with at once.

[@Blackbeltcop]

Great feedback Steel. If you ever take a class with me, I often tell everyone that you want to avoid the ground if at all possible in a street attack. In this case, we are dealing with a one subject attacker based on what is happening at that moment. If you are being attacked by multiple subjects at the same time, well we can all agree that you are in for a ride. Here is my concept. I teach you to maximize control and overcome that attacker through efficient Jiujitsu techniques which involve Takedowns, Striking and Jiujitsu. You must first learn to defend 1 attacker, before you can even possible think about defending more than 1. Thank You Steel.

[@TGBFROAT]

What about the headlock they will probably use with the arm you aren’t holding, when you step?

[@Blackbeltcop]

I have modified this technique. From side position I will extend my back leg across his two legs and make him fall on his back instead. If he decides to hold my head, I will simply modify mount him and free my arm by framing his neck, or you can chose to punch him in the face;) These videos are old, and I have since made many modifications. I will post new ones soon.

[@TGBFROAT]

Trillo Jiujitsu Academy than you

[@TGBFROAT]

Grr... typo. “Thank You”

[@ZWATER1]

Ty

[@jujitusuka]

*if* you’re lucky enough to block that first punch, as you’ve moved in wouldn’t the quickest and easiest thing to do would be hit him in the face with your right as your moving in or right uppercut followed by left hook....but then this is grappling.

[@daygamedon2390]

my French wrench you wrist a lock you doing heen Damage like armbars

[@evolve749]

Is this from the Gracie Combatives curriculum?

[@Blackbeltcop]

Yes sir, although I may give slight variations.

[@vipulthapliyal5464]

how to build self confidence?

[@rcchristian2]

Go do martial arts. It will do wonders for self confidence.

[@mylaksjdkorcess4760]

Don't take notes from movies on what is actually possible with martial arts. In other words, don't expect to be able to solo a group of 5. An intelligent martial artist would check the situation, weigh the risk, and make a decision. And when it comes to fighting in the streets, there's no room for risk since you don't know who is armed, and who isn't, or if the person that is attempting to engage you has backup. Better yet, be smart about your surroundings and don't put yourself in that kind of position.

[@user-om9if2td8i]

I fought 6 guys and won when I was 16. no training atall

[@user-om9if2td8i]

not one punch landed on me.

[@Tommy1.1]

@@user-om9if2td8iWhy? How?

[@foxybrown2]

why throw him when you already have your leg behind him just take him down backward.

[@brucecharlie8613]

Good luck if the opponent weighs 16 stone and obese with a hip throw said the dude who does Judo ;), try tiotoshi legs it works considerably better

[@Blackbeltcop]

I do teach alternative throws if the person is much heavier. I agree, I wouldn't do this on a heavy person. I will mention this the next time thanks

[@brucecharlie8613]

Trillo Academy Cheers mate , I understand it was pointed out to me too when I used to make martial arts videos that some people treat it like self defence gospel and think they are super man.... reality is as you know if there was one move that solved everything everyone would be doing it

[@georgeschahine8654]

That's aikido

[@Blackbeltcop]

I am like Bruce Lee, I take what I like and feel works, and I use it. Jiujitsu is my foundation but I take some techniques from all sorts of arts. Each art has something that it was specifically created for. That is their strength. Thank you for watching.

Tim, you must learn to fight 1 man, before you think about more than 1. This is an instructional technique. I am glad you watched it.

[@timsimmons7916]

I have learned Sir. I just don't carry to focus on techniques that focus on 1 man. I have even worked on this technique at a Relson Gracie School. It's straight out of the book, page 80 and 81. The "Sucker Punch Defense". It works GREAT on 1 man. Hopefully, if it's needed the attackers will do like the movies and wait their turn on attacking.

[@glennrobinson7193]

I am not trolling, but a nice clean sterile environment of a dojo is so absolutely UNrealistic. In real life there are obstacles, on UNeven or slippery ground. Otherwise very good advice about de-escalating and non ego approach.

[@danielskipp1]

BasicallyJustJudo is terrible training for self-defence. For every assault you defeat with grappling you will lose one because the other guy was bigger, stronger, faster, luckier or simply had reinforcement such as a buddy or a weapon. A system that actually expects to be tussling for "at least 30 seconds" is very impractical. Note the "attacker"'s left arm in this demo strangely becomes paralysed by "McDojo frozen attacker syndrome". In reality as you throw a guy he will grab and tear at your clothing/neck/ear/hair or face and you may well suffer injury as he pulls you over to the ground. Hint: only an idiot wants to be on the ground in a streetfight. Hint: just hit them.

[@Blackbeltcop]

You are missing the point Daniel. This is not a "Will work all the time technique". This is a guide of what you can do if placed in this situation. If you don't do any type of training in life, this is a good technique, and more important is the importance of distance management. I believe I explain all of this. The reality is that to become proficient at anything, you must train regularly, to the point that your reflex is a natural flow from one "What if to another". That is what Jiujitsu is. A what if answer. It is naive to say and think that in a real life fight, things will go as planned. They NEVER DO. But it is better to have a plan in place, which will give you a guide as opposed to not having anything in place and not prepared.

[@danielskipp1]

Trillo Academy No, I didn't miss the point. You are obfusticating with irrelevancies. You can do anything you like but this rubbish plan is just rubbish.... but do feel free to tell people they can expect over 30 seconds of tussling before they get their stupid hip throw in. I am sure your koolaid drinkers will be very grateful... right until they actually have to use it. Your plan sucks... better to have no plan at all.

[@Blackbeltcop]

Thanks Daniel you are quite an expert I see. I seriously ask that you visit me sometime if ever in Miami, and come show me some of your expert techniques. I'll be glad to show you the variations that I didn't have time to show in this video. Have a wonderful day.

[@danielskipp1]

Trillo Academy why teach a variation when you can teach something that doesn't suck ass? BJJ sucks ass and your video epitomizes it.

[@Gwarrior314]

+Daniel Skipp greetings sir, just my opinion, since your hypothetical scenarios are so well worded, maybe you should go to Miami. .. something tells me that a meeting with this instructor on the mat might humble u...we can disagree on tactics and applications, but it's never the style...the individual. . good job sensei, you know your stuff well..
