After having done BJJ for a little less than a year, I got into a situation last February at a party with a drunk individual who threw several punches at me - after the second punch, I did the arm drag to RNC and safely brought him back to his senses... he slept it off and there was no need to finish the choke. This move is money!!!

I like the way you describe that an arm drag may be the opponent moving toward you or if they are "bigger/stronger" you enter toward them to complete the technique. Many systems make an assumption that when you do "this" the opponent will always do "that." Adaptation is key.
@rollsgracie36044 жыл бұрын
Actually it’s about sensitivity... If you go for the arm drag and you’re bigger than the other guy. It’s a small guy resists hard to the arm drag. you just turn your body into his back it all depends Connection. And resistance

You join a school like Gracie Academy, Gracie Humaita, Pedro Sauer Federation or JJGF/Rickson, etc. Try and get as close to the OG Gracies as you can, as their schools still focus on self-defense. Alternatively keep training and join Gracie University remotely. That's what my current teacher did, so he was still learning BJJ while filling in the self-defense stuff on the side. Now he runs his own school that's purely street BJJ.

Grabbing someone’s wrist is one of the most difficult things to do. It’s like trying to catch the end of a whip. It’s the fastest part of the arm as it’s moving. You are much better off going for the elbow in most maneuvers because it moves four times slower than the fist.

Ergo, I'm not going to try and get hold of you. 2nd. 90% of thugs are head hunting right handers stood in orthodox stance, not stood in south paw as you demonstrate. That lead right hand is often concealed, dragging the floor for a knockout, hiding dusters, batton, knife etc. He's edging in to see what you got for him. See if you're easy pickings. Unexpected step-in jab - straight right has always worked champion for me. If you see that right hand, you not likely to be putting no tricep pull on the man.

Quite honestly an arm drag is important and effective, but the first technique in gracie Jiu jitsu for self- defense is not to engage in a fight. Then only when you must, self defense starts with managing distance, not getting punched or stabbed. While you doing the arm drag, your open to both. This is not self defense

I’ve taught this move for almost forty years. We drop into a front or bow stance to break the persons posture. This was called a carotid restraint back in the eighties. It was taught to NYC cops as a method to subdue people on PCP. Unfortunately it was not taught correctly in many cases and people ended up dead or with brain damage from windpipe restriction. The cops were shown to lift suspect off his feet and not release until he stopped kicking. I always reserved this one for my advanced Tae Kwon Do students who could grasp the responsibility and risks associated with it.

Try it in sparring and you'll see that it's all contextual. You're not usually going to be able to pull off an armdrag in a detached situation when everyone is swinging for the fences, however setting one up during the pre-combat phase (for example if someone has their finger in your face) or during the clinching phase is very possible. Also it's worth pointing out that an armdrag with your right hand followed by your own left hook is a great offensive combination.
@seandavidr7 жыл бұрын
If they do manage to throw a hook at you when you have their triceps. They're not going to be able to generate much power because you are 1. pulling the off balance, and 2 holding the triceps limits their ability to turn their hips and generate enough power to hurt you.
