It’s never wise to pick a fight in the street. And it’s even less wise to pick a fight against someone in front of a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym…
As it may turn out that this person is a BJJ practitioner.
And recently, one guy didn’t think through a situation like that well enough.
And he found himself in quite a pickle.
On the video below, he can be seen in a scrap with a BJJ black belt Trevor Cooper, right in front of a 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu academy.
And in front of a sign that spells “free trial class”, no less.
Renzo Gracie shared the video on social media and used it as a “warning” to all those who want to go head-to-head against a BJJ athlete:
It’s wise to think twice before crossing paths with a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, especially someone like our boy [Trevor Cooper].
Our advice is to walk away from a street fight, just as he attempted to do before being attacked by a significantly larger aggressor.
Well done for handling the situation effectively. Oss.
