Alright. It's time to get beat up growing up, aside from all
the acrobatic stuff that I did.
I also did martial arts, so I did like TaeKwonDo ,Tang Soo Do, some boxing and
kickboxing and stuff here and there.
And while all that stuff is super fun and like very good and like just
a good thing to know in general,
another really, really cool martial artist is Jiu Jitsu.
I'm really good at like, I don't want to say I'm really good.
I am decent at grappling and like wrestling and stuff, but I'd never
really did any real Jiu Jitsu classes and my friend actually just opened
his own Jiu Jitsu school, so I'm gonna roll around with him a little
bit today and let him kick my ass.
I'm gonna fight him today.
Yes.
That'd be a great idea.
I'll teach you technique and I'll let you play.
There we go.
You'll probably still win.
Thousands of people will see this across the country so don't suck.
Okay.
Nice.
Nice dad pep-talk I love it.
R
Represent the
fam.
Here's the bell.
Don't worry about the bell.
I'll help you tie it.
Okay.
If it's the same as
similar, it's super easy it's like square knot.
Even similar.
I haven't, I haven't had a ton of brought it up.
But if you come out, screwed up.
I'll help you.
I will be screwed up.
I'm used to tying Brayden's.
He's five.
So it's like, that's just pretend it's the same thing.
Okay.
I don't know how my knot is.
It's been a while since I tied my own.
You look a little like cookie monster.
yeah, you don't even look like a professional tumbler anymore.
I'm a professional martial artist.
Alright,
dude.
Welcome.
So that's good.
That's good.
That's not too shabby.
I mean my own alone, you know what I mean?
Generally, what you want to do is put them together, right?
So like you went under here, just go underneath both of them
so it stays together right?
And so I'm gonna teach you how to do what's called super
knot, a lot like karate.
They just do this cause they don't need it on other belts.
Yeah.
But if I go under, over through, and then I feed it through the middle,
right, between the two layers then it does like a super lock, right and
so then it almost never comes out.
I say almost because obviously people are fine for generally.
It doesn't come out at all.
All right.
Cool.
So Jiu Jitsu's a little bit different, right?
so we're going to like shake hands, hug it out.
No, no, no.
We're going to hug me and talk.
No, absolutely.
So, uh, no, you're good.
Lay down or sit down.
So what I'm going to teach you first, it's like Jiu Jitsu one-o-one.
One of the hallmark things about Jiu Jitsu is your ability to like
protect yourself from the ground.
Right?
When you're on your back, you can still defend yourself and win a fight.
So I'm gonna teach you two things today.
One how to defend yourself against anybody trying to strike you.
And two, how to put a man down and you come up on top, so you can either
in business or when you get out.
Okay, cool.
So the first position I'm going to teach you is called the guard.
So lay on your back.
So when you're standing up and fighting, you put your hands up
and you guard yourself, right?
In Brazilian Jiu Jitsu your guard is your legs, right?
So you can have, what's called a full guard where both of your legs are
in and your guard essentially is to monitor the space in between me and you.
Okay.
I start to press into what you don't like, that you can keep me out.
Right.
I start to try and reach.
I might be, I don't know if I should put on a band-aid.
I just want to get like, have a little bit of coverage.
I don't want to get blood on this.
It's not, you'll be fine.
Okay.
I'm not gonna, we're not gonna fight that hard.
It shouldn't start bleeding.
We are going to fight that hard.
Me and Leighton.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I'll give you a chance to, to, to work your skills.
All right.
So cool.
So your guard, I push in, you push out, right.
Just kind of monitor the space.
It makes it hard for me to hit you then.
Okay.
So I'm gonna teach you the three different layers.
Oh, guard.
Right.
So the first layer real close here, I can hit you.
You can't really hit me.
Right?
So one of the things you want to do is catch my head and my arm
and then hold it nice and tight.
Pull your legs around my hips.
Right, right there.
It makes it very difficult for me to hit him.
I've got one arm and he's not going to hit you.
You're not going to stop me from doing that, but you're
going to mitigate the damage.
Okay.
So one more time legs around my hips and I want you to pull me into that position.
Ready? Go.
Ready set go.
Good.
One more time.
Ready.
Second layer.
It's going to be your knees on my, on my biceps.
Right?
So what you're going to do, guys, go knees on the biceps and your hands
are going to go behind my truck.
Outside your knees just like that, right?
It's a nightmare.
So what happens is sometimes hugging me into the first position and arm.
Okay.
Right.
Sometimes the guys will start really hitting the, to
get a good punch in on you.
So what you're going to do is fill that space with your knee
and move your hand to my tricep.
Boom.
Right?
So now you can kind of ride, keep holding my arm.
Boom.
And you can fill the space with your other knee.
Boom.
And now you can ride, put your feet on my hips.
And he's on my biceps and now it's really difficult for me to hit you right now.
Drop me back into the first one.
Oh,
good.
Drop me in.
Nice.
Right. So stage two, stage three.
I started standing up.
You clear the space with your feet, keep me out.
And he said hard for me to hit you.
Right?
Hands defending yourself.
You're tracking me with your feet.
Very good.
If I come with a huge haymaker, drop me all the way into stage one.
Oh yes.
Oh, work, you're working, working.
Stage two.
Stage three.
Oh, yes.
Nice.
Awesome.
I'm going to teach you what's called a balloon sweep.
You can catch my wrists, get control my hands.
Good.
Start to bring your knees in some, let me get over top of you.
Right when I start crushing it in, you're going to use your legs like
a Slingshot and back, right over.
Ready go.
Boom.
One more time.
Hey, you're actually tracking me.
Get your hands to these four kind of cup.
Come on.
Right.
Boom.
Using it.
Keep the hands you to tuck them into your pockets.
I want you to roll with me and end up on top of me.
Okay. So you go in and over.
Boom.
Nice again.
He's the king of the world.
Alright, last time.
Good deal.
What?
Stage one.
Go.
Get your feet on me?
Go, move.
Pin me, sit on top,
Manage the space so that you can manage the damage.
And, uh, and that's, what's called the balloon sweep.
Up and over?
Okay.
Uh, it's pretty nice works.
Particularly when they go in, every technique is an answer to one problem.
So obviously that won't work every time, but if you have somebody
leaning in, you can get control of their risks and then you can feel
that they're leaning on your feet.
You can take it for a ride.
All right.
One of the things that you want to try and do is once I get the risks
and I'm monitoring your feet, I mean, your hips, excuse me, with my feet.
I need to feel you push it.
Cause if you're backing away that isn't it.
Yeah. I need you to, yeah, I got to ride you.
You got to push, I've got to give you a little bit of pushback, right?
In every, in every situation, right.
Uh, there is, what's called a push pull dynamic.
I push you.
You're probably going to push back to me.
Right. Cause you're going to resist that.
So when I'm pushing, you're pushing, right.
I get you to trust.
My legs.
Yeah.
So when you can use that, you'll make what's called an effortless suit, right?
So I used to push full dynamic.
I get you.
You're trying to swing at me.
Just do thing I used to follow, like from here, take my arm,
put your hip behind my shoulder.
Sit over and hit your arm bars.
Arm bars
. Arm bars for breakfast.
Let's go.
And then you go on the hips.
Very nice.
You control the risks.
Nice.
Get me to pressure a little bit.
All right. So monitor that.
There you go.
Boom. You go over to mount.
Bring the arm across my body.
Get your knee behind my head.
Boom. Step all the way over.
Dope.
Up and over slide over blue.
Boom.
Nice.
All together now.
You're good.
Stage one.
Good, nice.
Stage three.
Hold on.
sweep.
Now it's time to put to the test.
I've got this killer, the baddest dude in the gym, tops everybody out.
All right.
I saved them just for you.
Okay.
All right.
I don't ever take this off, but I don't want it to get ripped off.
I'm ready.
You ready?
Come on.
All right.
Here's my killer.
He's going to put it on you.
Okay. He's not taking it easy or anything.

Whatever's available.
I'm just telling you, we decided to let Sam give it a try really quick.
Okay. You ready?
Slap and bump?
Cali dap.
Okay. Why use your legs and hands to stop him?
Sam don't let him just walk around you
good, but he's like a
third of my weight.
No mercy.
Why he started asking your feet, use your hands to block him and
use your feet to get back in.
Okay.
Put your feet always back in between you and him.
You can block with your knees too.
That's fine.
But are what you like ready?
Set go.
There you go.
Bring your feet in, Sam.
Push on your shoulders.
