BJJ - Anthony Bourdain

"I spent a solid year getting crushed everyday by younger, faster, fitter and better partners. I lost 35lbs. I am no longer on Lipitor (drug to reduce bad cholesterol). I'm in the best shape of my life. I train everyday wherever I am in the world and BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) is pretty much central to my days' schedule. I often pick locations for my show that are close to Jiu Jitsu academies."

Gracie BJJ Breakdown - How to Defeat Multiple Opponents

"Gracie Jiu-Jitsu isn't merely a martial art confined by a limited number of techniques, but rather an all encompassing system of survival guided by a collection of timeless combat principles; the most important of which is that of energy efficiency. This concept of maximum effectiveness with minimal effort is what enable Grand Master Helio Gracie to modify and adapt the original Japanese Jiu-Jitsu techniques until they were effective against giants, and it is also the core concept when dealing with multiple opponents. 

In this video, Rener Gracie (@RenerGracie) and Brian "T-City' Ortega (@BrianTCity) discuss and demonstrate the three universal principles of self-defense as taught by the Gracie Academy, so you have a better chance of survival if you ever find yourself in a multiple attacker situation." 

Principle 1: Diffuse the "Combative Energy" of the interaction. 
Principle 2: Evade their attack with effective distance management. 
Principle 3: Attack first and attack fast. 

Bonus Principle: If you carry a firearm on you at all times, use it.

UFC 154: GSP Success Secrets Revealed

 

"How he does it, no one really know, how he makes it look so easy, is even more of a mystery. In this episode of the Gracie Breakdown, Rener and Ralek analyze the keys to GSP's success over Carlos Condit at UFC 154. They start by discussing the unparalleled timing and precision of GSP's takedowns, and then they dissect the incredibly effective 3/4 guard passing strategy that GSP uses to plow past the guards of even the most seasoned grapplers. They also demonstrate the inverted knee-bar that Carlos attempted on three different occasions and they explain why GSP is so effective at neutralizing submissions from the guard. All in all, if you ever plan on fighting GSP, this is the most important Gracie Breakdown of your career!"
