I believe the most common self-defense concern for men in an unarmed situation is: "What if someone punches me in the face and knocks me out?"

In street fights, the typical attack is a punch (sometimes after a shove) and the head is the primary target. It's crucial that students develop genuine confidence in their ability to avoid being punched.

I've filmed scenarios with untrained or novice attackers trying to punch me while I defend, aiming to demonstrate tactics and tricks for reading and reacting to strikes.

Here's some raw footage of my friend Jeff Bujak attempting to punch me in the face.

Here's one of our favorite foot sweeps: anytime you see your opponent more than shoulder-width apart, simply hook around the Achilles area with the instep of your foot and create a sweeping action. You may also use your upper body grips to pull them in the opposite direction of the sweeping action (always pull them away from their base of support).

This is a low-risk move that doesn't require much commitment and therefore leaves you less vulnerable to counter throws.

Here's an interesting Jiu-Jitsu submission hold which traps both arms and creates a hyperextension.

One of the things that makes Jiu-Jitsu addictive is how all the positions and submissions interconnect. The more you learn, the more you realize that you always have options. If your opponent moves one way, you move another. If they defend one option, they funnel themselves into a worse scenario.

It's a brilliant martial art... and I want to teach it to you!

One of my favorite counters for a leg tackle or a wrestling double leg is a classic judo throw called "Sumi Gaeshi."

This is a technique that works well in a "sport" context as well as in a more self-defense or combative sense.

New City Jiu-Jitsu is currently accepting new students and offering free one-on-one classes as well as two free weeks to get you started.

An advanced student hitting a perfect "gift wrap" into jujigatame in jiu-jitsu sparring.

He starts by utilizing a cross grip to force the arm to the ground. Going palm up and pushing the far arm at the wrist or hand lines up anatomically so that you can engage major muscle groups to push diagonally against weak muscle groups. In this case, the specific grip allows the triceps, chest, and thoracic muscles to work against the isolated rotator muscles—a battle that is impossible to lose. When the person on bottom tries to keep their hands connected to help the situation, it allows for what's called a gift wrap grip once their near elbow begins to go past the center line. From there, it's easy to swarm into a devastating series of submission attacks! 🥋
