LOL... His reversals while mounted were backwards. If that really was a grappler on top, he would base out and stop the roll.

The defenses from the guard were also pretty bad. The control when he switches to the sweeps are too lose. Someone trained in passing would have a very easy time passing the guard to side control from there.

I would say the things shown on that clip would be better termed "defense against people who don't know how to grapple on the ground".

Do you have any clips of it done right?

[SevenStar]

yeah, it was backward. think of it like a table. if you take one leg away, push in the direction where there is only one table leg, right? and also the guy was sitting directly on the downed cop's hips - where it is easiest to bump him from. A grappler would try to get position first, putting his knees under the guy's armpits and sitting on his chest instead of his hips, making it harder for the guy to bridge and roll him.

when he was mounted on the guy, there was a lot of space. if he lost control of the guys hand, it would be extremely easy to escape the position.

position comes first.

here are his tactics against wrestlers:

Now, compare that tackle to a real double leg:

look at his mount and the transition to it. He leaves little or no space - he is smothering his opponent until he gets into position. Notice how he slides his knees forward, under his opponents armpits, so he is not sitting on his hips. It is much harder to bump him this way.

[sanjuro_ronin]

I think that clip is what to do against some numbnut that TRIES to grapple you on the street.
Against a trained grappler you obviously spit chewing tobacco in their eyes.

A grappler would try to get position first, putting his knees under the guy's armpits and sitting on his chest instead of his hips, making it harder for the guy to bridge and roll him.

Agree, someone with experience would choose to sit higher on the chest, expecting the bridge and bucks.

The boxer one was funny. About the time you go to push his hand into his face your going to get punched. Not realistic.

And we all know that grabbing and twisting his balls would never work....;)

Its pretty hard to grab someone's balls when they are smashing your face over and over with elbows and fists then again, maybe your Iron face is above par.

It's pretty hard to smash someone in the face with elbows and fists when his balls are being grabbed and twisted ;). What came first, the egg or the chicken:confused:

I haven't had them grabbed and twisted, only kicked. However, my assumption is that when that happens, I would strike you off of principle alone, to try and get you to let go. I HAVE been scratched and bitten while grappling, and all it did was make me tighten the hold on them.

However, look at the vid I posted. He had the guy's arms pinned until he got his knees in the guy's armpits. when would he have had time to grab anything? when he sat up, he could have easily thrown elbows, but it was a bjj mount demo and not mma.

When I fought VT and the groin was a target, many tried and few were successful in terms of striking, as for grabbing and twisting, maybe someone tried, I don't know I was to busy beating on them like a 2 dollar crack ***** in jersey.

See, now someone is gonna pull out "biting his scrotum off"...:D

I agree, from that type of superior position, it would be damm hard to twist and squeeze anything. But what happens if that position is not secured and neither people have grappling experience? You are talking from your own experience and wisdom in fighting, not everyone has that benefit. What you can do indivdiually through your own experience is not common place. How about we look at it through that lense for a bit. Would the techniques subscribed work against the regular guy? To me this is what the officer was trying to portray, options when you are on the bottom against whomever is on top laying down some shots.

In this case, you would bite his scrotum off.

Marietta Police Department Makes Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Mandatory
By Blaine Henry 2 days ago
With so much unrest throughout the country, the United States citizens and leaders are calling reform in police departments across the nation. The Marietta Police Department is taking steps to make some sort of change in Marietta, Georgia.

The department announced on their website that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will now be a mandatory class for all officers affiliated with their department. With the murder of George Floyd in Minnesota by a police officer, change has been demanded from United States citizens by police departments. The Marietta Police Department believes that ignorance is no excuse and will be taking measures to change that in their community.

The police department is aiming to have officers stop using punches and instead incorporate grappling to subdue anyone under attest.

The MPD has already graduated seven cadets in the program on September 27th. Now, cadets are required to take one Jiu Jitsu class a week until they reach solo status. The MPD estimates that will be approximately five months of training on average.

Marietta Police Department also states that while this won’t replace current training the officers receive, it will be an additional tool they will have.

Marietta Police Department Trying New Approach
While the opinion on training officers in Jiu Jitsu is mixed, the MPD is taking a chance and taking proactive steps to make a change in how their department views social justice.

The department received training from Humberto “Beto” Borges in their September graduating class.

On the Gracie Breakdown, the YouTube channel of the Gracie family, they dive into a 30 minute conversation on why they believe Brazilian Jiu Jitsu would be a great fit for police officers. Watch that video below.

While it remains to be seen if this will actually be a positive step, I, the writer of this article, think it is great that the Marietta Police Department is attempting to change in a positive direction.
