Men Try To Grab Eve Gracie and Miserably Fail

Men Try To Grab Eve Gracie and Miserably Fail

Self defense is an integral part of bjj but it’s quite often under taught because in the instagram friendly age it just doesn’t look as fun. But most extremely useful things aren’t fun which is how the Gracie breakdown got the idea to film the following clip. In it a group of men demonstrate trying to grab onto Rener Gracie’s pregnant wife while she responds demonstrating ideal self defense for these situations.

 We picked 7 random guys and conducted a interesting experiment. Conclusion: “Alavanca” is everything, and all women should learn jiu-jitsu!

This clip is a kind of continuation to a conversation Tim Kennedy started the other day when he described sport bjj as, at best, gutless saying:

“I don’t like things that had balls and now no longer have balls. That’s what jiu-jitsu has almost become. Jiu-jitsu to me is get in mount or in side control and I’m gonna pick your face up and I’m gonna smash it into cement. Then I’m gonna push your eyes out and then I’m gonna bite your cheek off. That’s what jiu jitsu is to me. That’s the origin of it. The gentle art (chuckles)”

“Instead of like talking about you know getting four points for back control or
getting four points for mount or getting a takedown again – looks like find a place that you can hold somebody down and then hit them that’s it”
