Brazilian jiu jitsu is widely regarded as one of the most, if not the most, effective martial arts in existence. As a grappling art, jiu jitsu’s purpose is to use leverage to trap and subdue your opponent in a variety of chokeholds, leg, arm, and joint locks.
In response to the recent incident on board a United Airlines flights where a passenger was forcibly dragged off an allegedly overbooked flight, BJJ blackbelts Rener and Ryron Gracie demonstrated some techniques to counter someone who is dragging you by both arms.
Watch:
The video is obviously meant to add some levity to the situation, just like a video that was posted by two other jiu jitsu blackbelts demonstrating how to defend against President Trump’s aggressively dominant handshake style.
Good techniques nonetheless.
