Marcos Santos: Hi! Welcome to NYBJJ Academy. My name is Marcos Santos. I am with today, with two friends who came for to have the first class of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ever. We start with Akaita; Akaita what would be the worst position in situation for you if somebody attacks you on the street.
Audience Member: If someone gets on top of me and I don’t know how to get out. I would like to know, how that works?
Marcos Santos: Hi! now I would like to see, we have Akaita where it come situation on a bike, and your buddy is going to try back hurl and to shoot right in. This is called the Jiu Jitsu Mount Position. During training, we’ll press this technique a lot. Somebody taught you how you to get someone, and help else from the body and escape, getting away not getting hurt. And as you want to try Akaita, pointing her neck. First thing I want you to do Akaita, why don’t you hold the wrist like that, putting pressure through finger, your hand have full control of his wrist. Alright, what I want you to do right now? You are going to keep your elbows tight together. Now what you are going to do is I want you to push his hand against your chest, not against your neck. Once he’s going to first choke you, you are going push his hand against your chest, and be put really as a little bit of pressure, he is be able to survive, let it be that longer as you finish the rest of the techniques.
As you do that now, I want you to lock his foot like this. Now what you are going to do? As you lift a bit, roll over right shoulder and hold back. Yes! As you come, I want you to stand up, and hold for that position like this which is a case of life and death situation, you can kick on his groin and run away. Alright, very good for the first time.
As I showed you after the first time, every position we’ll learn in the class is very important for it to practice over and over and over. And I tell my students, repetition is the mother of the skills. The more you practice, the more you do it, it's going to become as second nature for you. You don’t have to think to do it, it's going to come just naturally. Alright, one more time. As you get him all chokes, I want you to put your hands very close that if I push that hands against your collar bone. So chest right there, lock right here. As you do that, in the same time you are going to the lift your hips over to your right shoulder. Stand up the other way. Kick the groin and yes, very, very good. And you are picking up for the first time, it's just very, very good.
Next, now we want to have Fernanda. Fernanda, if you get with that what will be close position for you to be?
Fernanda: I don’t know, I know if somebody grabs me here, what will I have to do?
Marcos Santos: And you are ground with top, somebody between your legs, or on the side with a mount?
Fernanda: It can be on the ground as well.
Marcos Santos: On the ground? Okay, ground. In fighting you have guard. It can't be true when you get attacked. Somebody could be on top, I call it a mount position, and it also looks like in sometime he is going to beat between your legs. Alright, now what I am going to show you? How to use your legs to your advantage, you are going to close your guard, close your leg, just call the guard. But when you fight standing up, like boxing, boxing, we have this position, very popular one, we call the guard. You keep your hands up, keeping like a shield protecting you on your face, your chest, keeping the hands up. In Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, hands and legs are like that, up to throat and back on to the ground, or controlling, open that for a second please, will you put it right here? His biceps, right there. We call that open guard. Close guard and open guard. Because you have fell to ground, it would be a fight stance. When you are on the ground on your back like that, that’ll be your fight stance. We call that quarter guard. It's an example.
You have Fernanda who just got pushed down. Fernanda you have got to keep the legs up, maybe I will call it the fourth composition, that’ll be your guard. That's just on the ground
