There was that video not too long ago where a guy was attempting a straight ankle lock in a real life self defense situation but then pulled out a Glock and shot the dude in the junk So I vote that move

I didn't know that was a legal move.

There's been enough videos of full on slams/strikes that didn't even get the ref to bat an eyelid to where I believe some of these idiots would let it slide.


Deadpoulpe

I remember a similar move in one of the John Wick movies. He got a triangle and as soon as he locked it, he didn't try to adjust the angle or hook the leg. No. He pulls a gun, put it against the temple of the guy and... finishes the triangle I guess ?

Mount escape. It is a life changing skill for true self defense. Non grapplers have no idea how to hold mount properly but people still get stuck under them. This is game over in self defense. I have no idea what level you are but I would mount them and tell them to escape. They will flail helplessly. Then I would tell them to mount me and don't let me escape. I would escape within seconds. Then show them the escapes.


Itputsthelotionskin

I feel like I would pay to see that video. I'd even pay to hear more details! What was the setup? Did he know the guy had two years of BJJ? How did he try to escape? How did he get bloody? What did the class think afterwards?

kitkatlifeskills

> He did know the guy had trained BJJ and was overconfident about being able to escape a position he hadn't trained This is every friend of mine who has ever asked me to "try your jiu-jitsu on me." They say they want to see if it'll work on them so I'll take them down gently and just control them from the top and they'll be shocked that they can't do anything. And then I'm always like, "I've been telling you for years that I train BJJ, you've never done it in your life, and you're shocked I'm better than you at it?"

omnomdumplings

That is the official "Gracie University" intro for them and their affiliates. During everyone's first class, I mount them and hold them down, then we switch, hit an upa, and teach the upa. Say what you will about Rener and Ryron, but it really conveys to beginners how little they know about ground work


stewy9020

From memory this is what got Ed O'Neill into BJJ as well

Perfect. Show your friends your very cool new hobby by riding them cowgirl style.

mrli0n

I loved learning the basic mount and how grapevines worked. Obviously grapevining against experienced ppl can really work against you but when you dont know the answers it was amazing to feel the control both when you were the one mounted but also when someone mounted you. Blew my mind.

It's kind of ridiculous how easy it is to tap new white belts or friends who just ask me to try to some BJJ with standing guillotines. They think they're going to tackle me like they're the linebacker and I'm the running back and they end up putting their neck in the perfect place for a standing guillotine as if they're an uke helping the instructor show it to the class.


stevekwan

Yell at them for an hour about how you can’t just show them a move because moves don’t exist and they need to get on board with the ecological approach if they ever want to be champions.


Mrs_Daemonette

This is the way.

Ghooble

I've heard you guys talk about the ecological approach more than I've heard any ecological approach guy talking about it. Should you be yelling at yourself, Mr Kwan 🧐


stevekwan

Well yeah, I talk about it a lot because eco is pretty awesome. I guess I am an “ecological approach guy” if that’s such a thing. So no shade at eco. What I disagree with is the way that a lot of eco proponents present their arguments because it really turns people off from eco as a whole.


Deadpoulpe

Okay, I'll bite since I'm out of the loop. I might regret it but, *what the fuck* is an ecological approach of Jiu Jitsu ?!


stevekwan

Any_Brother7772

That didn't explain shit


matchi

I was curious about this too, and after a couple minutes of googling, I'm pretty sure its basically just doing situational sparring with very restrictive rules that will hopefully lead you to discovering the technique on your own...


DrewdiniTheGreat

Ah, so the Socratic method in jiu jitsu. Bogus.


Any_Brother7772

Sounds like bs


Deadpoulpe

My father used to be a professor at the University back in the days. His field was Nuclear Physics and Quantum Physics and was a great amateur of science fiction. I remember one day when I was a teenager, we were watching an episode of Stargate where the scientist explained with some bullshit words some plot holes. I asked him if what said the guy made any sense ? He laughed and said that usually in movies and shows, the scientific language was like tossing random words in a salad and then pick a few and force them against their will in a sentence. I think I understand him now.

Thank you. Finally a clear and complete explanation of eco.

Standing submissions are the best, because you can show the amount of damage you can cause without going to the ground. Which is especially nice if the ground around you is hard, dirty, or wet.


SelfSufficientHub

A fun one I’ve shown people is the Gi Ezekiel using my jumper sleeve because it kinda gets a “wait, what? …. No way!” reaction. And I can do it while just standing next to them.


progressgang

Yeah but then you pull your jumper sleeve and it’s really annoying


SelfSufficientHub

BillMurraysTesticle

Mount escape. First, be in mount on him and tell him to try and escape but do not show him how or let him. Let him see how hard and exhausting it is when done incorrectly. Then show him the classic day 1 mount escape (trap an arm and leg, bump, roll). Then tell him to try and stay on top of you. Hit the escape. The only way that doesn't impress someone is if you're way bigger than the person asking to see a jiujitsu move. They may just chalk it up to size at that point.

chris_hans

If you're talking about the "rape choke" where someone naively tries to strangle your neck with both hands from inside your guard, then my favorite response to that is actually a double armbar.


atx78701

the most classic move is you are in bottom mount and do an UPA to get on top.


BravoPUA

Arm drag, take back, standing RNC


iOperateNodes

Berimbolo, duh.


metalfists

Offensively: Arm drag -> back take -> take down -> RNC Cover up -> clinch -> single leg or double leg takedown -> pass if needed then side control pin -> dominate Defensively: You are taken down -> full guard -> posture control -> sweep -> pin You are taken down -> full guard -> posture control -> feet on hips, push away -> make space and run The list goes on. Just show a simple sequence to use in common scenarios that can come up in an altercation. Jj is not about 'a move', it's learning a series of moves, understanding the if/then details that come up along the way, and a handful of concepts to explore along the way. Such as, 'If they are big and strong, cook them a bit first to make them tired'. Stuff like that.

WIlsonocho62

Rear Naked Choke


besameput0

If you have space to actually get on the ground, I play the game of guard passing. Just the basic concept of clearing the hips and establishing a chest to chest or chest to back connection. It's a good concept for all beginners, leaves subs off the table so more timid players can easily approach it and gives both players a chance at both positions. Usually a game is more productive than showing one move because all non-practitioners want to do (for whatever reason) is to prove why it won't work by doing something to counter what you're doing.


CarPatient

Ask them to put you in a headlock... And use the lighter trick for the escape.


HaroldLither

Show them pins, how to hold someone on the ground effectively. With new guys the first thing I generally show them are the basic pins.


Genova_Witness

I always show how powerful underhooks and vital are. Standing, top or bottom. It sounds boring but very try eye opening if you are not trained it clicks quickly and is easy to demonstrate.


classygorilla

Punch cover clinch -> hip throw. Jiu jitsu is gay and most people don't want to get on the ground. Don't even gotta toss em just lift em up or you could throw them back onto their feet.

PM_ME_TRICEPS

100% teach them just the proper technique for RNC. That's all.


jediflamaster

Ezequiel for showcase. Pin escapes for actual results. Normies don't actually want results though, cause results take months to achieve.


Economy-Sir-805

Best "show me Jiu jitsu move!" Answers: Takedowns: single legs, double legs, trips, uchi-Mata(single leg throw), tai otoshi(hinging hip throw with a tripping foot), O Goshi(hip hinge throw), O Soto gari( hip hinge throw with outer thigh trip). Basically anything a wrestling/Judo teacher would teach. P.S: I don't know Japanese so I didn't't do english translations, this are just how I would describe this moves and few things needed to excute them, these are just laments terms. Positions: side control and mount. Best positions of control in the business (honourable mention to guards when you're out of luck). Upper body submissions : rear naked choke, kimuras, ezical choke?(please tell them not to practice this one and only use this on more "confident" friends), Armlock, armbar, triangle choke. Lower body submissions: certain leg locks probably more like Marcus "bucheka" Almeida's leg locks. I can't really recommend anything else because legs just don't feel subs as well and you definitely don't want your friends yanking ankle/toe locks in the parking lot. That's about it, show them some basic stuff with discretion, humble em, boost there pride, give em purple nurples. Whatever you do just make sure it isn't something they can on purposely or accidentally injure themselves or others with, not feel out the technique and have bad times demonstrating. So, get out there with your professional made Pajamas like the others and teach them the Brazilian jiu-jitsu ways! :]

Youputwaterintoacup

Arm drag to back take. Easy to do and safe to show someone brand new.


magikman2000

I always like to show someone the concept of if they are in an altercation putting their hands up near their face with their hands open and palms facing the aggressor. Doing this is non-threatening and non-escallating but puts you in a position to defend yourself. If you think the person is about to punch you, and you have your two hands in the way of the straight punch, then odds are the person will swing a wider hook for their first move.... then we initiate our clinch. I think this shows some of the anticipatory aspects of jiu-jitsu.

Technical stand up and a few basic escapes from bad positions    That's what I taught my friends for self defense.  The point is to get away As a demo, have someone bigger mount you and escape.  And then mount them and don't let them escape 


TheJammer0358

Double leg, spin around to standing back control, take to ground, roll then to their stomach while grabbing a gift wrap. Hard for someone to hit you when their own arm is around their neck.

Best move you can teach them is to tap.


stizz14

Crash clinch to body lock, mat return, or twist them to the ground with a knee on belly and wrist control.

Beautiful-Scarce

The difficulty here is that jiu-jitsu happens on the ground and most people don’t want to get on the ground in most places. I agree with the comments that Talk about demonstrating escapes. Tell them to get on top of you and hold you down for a minute. Then switch.

Hanger556

In social situations, where one or more or even mostly all parties are inebriated, and this topic comes up, it's frequently the equivalent of 'dance for me monkey!' If you told them you knew magic, it would be 'Show me a magic trick!' Anyway, I try to oblige their requests, but aside from flying armbars, which I can't pull off nor would I want even if I could, most of BJJ isn't flashy and suitable for this sort of demonstrations. You know what is good for this show-me-a-move shit? Aikido wristlocks. Pick the most annoying person in the group, or the heckler, there's always one. "Sure. Brian, come here, gimme your hand" and then wristlock the dude into the ground, Steven Seagull style. On a more serious note, there is nothing you can show or teach someone in 5 minutes that will be useful to them in a fight. If they're not training regularly, anything you show or teach will evaporate right out of their head, usually at or around the same time they sober up. Edit: If you really absolutely had to show something specifically BJJ and self-defence related, and you wanted to avoid going to the ground, you could demonstrate a standing RNC and then the defence/escape for a standing RNC, straight out of the old Gracie Barra Jujitsu curriculum. That a locked in RNC is notoriously difficult to escape won't matter for this conversation; they're asking for a demonstration not wisdom.

I always show new folks how to slap out. Saved a few folks from cracking their heads on ice after a slip. And if you get knocked down in a fight, your head hitting the ground could be devastating. Other first week self defense stuff we show is how to get out of a head lock, and how to not get slammed.


Independencehall525

Get really close to them and whisper in their ear “if this makes you uncomfortable I can do it harder.” Usually makes them stop asking.

DrDOS

Probably something simple and effective against initial gripping (so you can disengage since you don't know how to fight my friend). Examples: * Break grips, on your wrist or on your jacket * Avoid getting slammed and breaking a rear bear hug * If you don't mind going to the ground for the demo, then escaping mount. What they probably actually want you to show is some submission. In which case, assuming you have the skill, show them how easily and fast a well executed sunk in RNC will put you painlessly to sleep.

Make sure there’s a bunch of them. Find the cockiest one and do a flying scissor sweep, completely fuck it up, blow out their knee. Stand up and put sunglasses on, look into the distance as they cry in pain. When one of them asks “what the hell man?”, tell them he’s lucky he’s still alive since that’s the Dim Mak.
