Effective Martial Arts

⭐️ GrapplingSMARTY.com ⭐️ Guard Retention is one of the most difficult skills to learn in BJJ, and it’s also arguably the most important. Whereas you ultimately NEED to practice with qualified human training partners to develop this skill under pressure, you also MUST be adept and keep perfecting these basic body movements. And while it’s entirely possible to practice these movements in the air or even against a wall, the addition of the SMARTY & Harness is a great way to add another level of realism to these solo drills by giving you a clear sense of how to position your body and limbs in relation to your opponent.Big shout out and credits go out to Lachlan Giles and Ariel Tabak for their instructional “The Guard Retention Anthology” on BJJ Fanatics Online Store. This is, in my experience, the most comprehensive resource on the subject, and has really helped me improve this area of my game. Thanks for putting it together! And if you’re among the few who still don’t have a SMARTY to enhance your solo training and drill anytime, anywhere, get yours today only on GrapplingSMARTY.com Practice well 👊#BJJ #Jiujitsu #MMA #martialarts #selfdefense #wrestling #Grappling #guardretention #lachlangiles #arieltabak #bjjfanatics #GrapplingDummy #bestgrapplingdummyever #GrapplingSMARTY

What’s wrong with this picture? 🤔

Answer:

Like most "Women's Self-Defense" content, this is a fantasy, not real, and could NEVER happen. Here's why:

(1) Even if roles were reversed, this loose overhook on the arm does not provide enough leverage to bring an opponent down, and does not create that much pain.

(2) Even if his shoulder were about to be broken, a normal human would never cry out in pain and give up like that... They would hide their chin, pull in their elbows, stand up, and FIGHT!

(3) Given the relative size and strength difference, it is unrealistic for Maya to hope to mount any type of effective offense and control on Seb, even if it were with proper technique. It is much more advisable to focus on defense and escape skills.

This is a mistake a lot of people make in the self-defense industry, giving women a false sense of confidence by showing unrealistic techniques that would never work against even the mildest form of resistance.

The best way to develop real self-defense skills for ANYONE is to practice relevant situations with a qualified training partner offering PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE.

Congrats to Vincent Péloquin & Naomi Avril, 2 newest Blue Belts in the EMA curriculum! Naomi is our first ever female to earn the rank!

Yesterday we just did one full hour of MMA Sparring, 8 X 6 min rounds with 1 min rest! Great workout 💪

Might share some cool vids later…

That’s the real beauty of EMA, these students might not be experts in any one range, but they can certainly out-wrestle a pure boxer, out-box a pure grappler, and submit a pure wrestler. As for a hand-to-hand altercation with the average person “in da streetz” (TM ) I’m proud to say I am confident in their self-defense skills.

Thanks to all the other students who were there to share the battle joy! 😅

Keep up the good work 👊
