This incident happened a few years ago in front of the Ralph Gracie BJJ academy. A man was making trouble in front of the academy, insulting and bothering women. One of Ralph’s black belt tried to talk some sense into the guy but to no avail.
When the black entered the clinch, he immediately tripped him to the ground and took his back, spreading him out. This is the famous ‘spread the chicken’ position. The black belt gave him a few slaps and the guy started crying. The black belt asked him “are you going to go home now?” to which he answered yes.
The black belt then stood up and let him leave.
That was effortless. Jiu-Jitsu 101 at it’s finest.
Remember what Demian Maia said a few years ago after defeating Chael Sonnen:
“I want to show jiu-jitsu to the world, and show to the people that you can win the fight without hurting your opponent.”
