Great to hear mate. I would recommend having her spar e.g. in a jiu jitsu gym. Seeing the techniques is one thing, but actually applying them to a resisting opponent is entirely diffferent

It is great you are showing her some of these techniques, but I would really encourage you guys to find a bjj gym. My wife is abut the size of yours, but just 5" taller. I am #215 5'10", so while I may not have a issue following an instructional video there are often times a good instructor can show her how she will need to tweak it on a larger opponent. There is also the stress inoculation that happens when you roll consistently. just like with street fight videos the guy that only knows moves will default to just winging punches vs the guy that fights a lot whether on the street or in the gym can better manage the stress. My last bit of advice if you cant afford a gym (you really owe it to her, & yourself to make sacrifices if you can) is to find some online or digital curriculum, and starting with defense work through it systematically, and then roll together to simulate the stress of a fight. Start slow, & step it up as skill increases. Sheepdog Response has some, but for a gal her size The Gracie University Women Empowered is great, as is the Gracie Combatives which would work extremely well for both of you. Last resort use KZfaq, but try to find fundamentals vs just attacks. Rumor has it the Gracie Combatives, & Women Empowered videos are online as torrent files as absolutely last resort. Not a fan of stealing intellectual property as these guys put a lot of work into it, but if we are talking survival do what needs to be done, and when your finances improve buy their products.

@@harvestblades I'm currently going to Diaz academy Gracie jiu jitsu Stockton California it's on Pacific avenue she's a stay at home mom currently taking care of our 2 year old so I just show her what I can can't both go not enough time in the day

save up and get one of their classes do it with eachother and start carrying a few forms of protection, since youre in CA,

@@SNAGEMNTAG3M can't you stay at home with the kids once in a while and have her take some lessons a woman is an easier target and she may need those lessons more than you do

It’s not a stretch, that’s a submission to rip someone’s arm off

Bones Brigade jokes on you I’m an only child so it’s my mom 😉

Bones Brigade I got your joke lol thanks and be safe as well

My experience is that it’s a really good noob-crusher submission because of how easily it can be applied if you let it and don’t know the counter, which it literally just shooting your arm straight above your head. Why nobody even attempts it in the ufc i don’t know though, probably because everyone there is tough as nails and would rather overstretch their joints to escape than tap.

from mount yes striking can finish the job quickly, but the benefit of bjj is you don't have to escalate the fight to control or win it. Especially in our lawsuit society or on the street where you punch someone, knock them out, they strike their head on the concrete, & either die, or suffers brain damage. Even in mount if I am striking someone I do not have the control bjj offeres to regulate the damage I am inflicting. You punch until they stop fighting, and damage will be done. Not everyone deserves getting their face busted up or killed, because maybe they had a bad day or a drink too many. Yes they need to be responsible but with bjj we can be the bigger man & show mercy.

@@harvestblades I understand your thought but I disagree. A detailed answer would be to long to write here. To achieve your goal, anyway, you need submission like RNC not like Americana /kimura/armbar where you have to break an opponent arm (causing even worst damage than punching) or risking to fight again after he taps and you release. To me fight has only two outcomes: avoid it (as much as possible) or incapacitate the opponent (it does not mean killing or breaking arms everyone left and right)

If a bastard is trying to kill you on the street, there is nothing wrong with ending the fight by shredding his arm. Why is brain damage better than arm damage?

Don't give him your arm in the first place. If he gets your arm, pin your elbow to the ground, don't allow his hand underneath it. If you reach the point of no return bridge your hips and trap and roll.

go monkey mode and roll out before its too deep...

It's not, but it looks similar
