A Machado black belt was attacked in front of his dojo earlier this week. At the time we wrote:
According to Nadow’s account:
This gentleman decided to attack me, in front of my BJJ studio. (This is an abridged version of what happened. Still too long)
He has been banned from the Village shopping center for harassing families and woman. I have heard of him, but never saw him in the center myself. He came within striking distance, threw a bottle at me and sat deep into a hay maker, I dropped for a double leg. Took him down and passed to a tight side control. Mounted from knee on belly, used pure BJJ to control him. He agreed to calm down and then tried to hit me “below the belt” I realized I had to call the cops as soon as I could subdue him. Turned him down on his stomach, and flattened him out. I set a rear naked choke, (Mata leaõ) I felt that I needed to put him to sleep to get my phone and call for assistance. He was obviously raging off of some substance, he was very…. VERY strong. Once I secured his back, and lock into his lapel for a possible bow and arrow (should I need it), I woke him up using my hooks to lift his legs. As he comes to, I assure him I do not want to hurt him, I am calling the police and to remain calm. About this time, my business neighbor from panache dance studio walked out and started filming. I was able to use my bjj to control a violent attacker (on some substance…… allegedly).Bjj kept me safe and made it possible to control my opponent with very little damage to either party. Oddly he makes a reference to me “crossing my feet” from the back, (which of course I was NOT doing), so think he may have trained some bjj some where. I hope he gets the help he needs.
Come in and learn applicable self defense or attack a bjj black belt and the first lesson is always free,…..
Now Nadow has shared a happy update. The man in question had come to apologize. At the time he was homeless and agitated.
Look who stopped by.
Adam Moss the guy who attacked me. He showed up during class, he came to apologize. I was shocked. He seemed level and grounded. I asked why he was so upset,…and what his situation was. He said he is homeless and has trouble sometimes controlling himself. he seemed to not totally be able to remember the situation. But all the same he came hat in hand. I had to respect the apology. He said he was hungry and cold, I went to the store and purchased him a bag of food and water. Also the team chipped in and got him a gift card for food at Safeway. He also needed a tent. So im going to get him one sat when he comes back. The food will be given weekly to help him under the agreement that he gets some help and doesn’t assault any one. Glad he stopped by. Made my night.
