Transcripts

I am Sundar J.

M. Brown with Joe Diamond's Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The video segment you are about to see is entitled practical self defense. The moves are drawn from the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Now, despite the support of aspect of contemporary Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Helio Gracie, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu's founder, originally conceived of the art as something to be used as a full-fledged self-defense methodology. You are going to see the moves demonstrated at regular speed. Then we will break them down step by step for ease of understanding. I have over a decade of experience in the martial arts. I am currently a second degree purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Luiz Palhares and Joe Diamond. I am also a certified Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and self defense instructor at Joe Diamond's Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Philadelphia. Now, there is no substitute for personal instruction. This video will not take the place of one on one teaching. So, we encourage you to find a local school and a certified instructor and enroll yourself in a self defense program. In the meantime, some important safety tips to remember. First, when you are training, watch the segment in full before attempting to practice any of the movements. Wear comfortable clothing and appropriate protective gear. Respect your training partner at all times. If you feel any pain or discomfort, immediately communicate this to your partner. Consult your position before performing any physical activity and make sure your training area is free of any hazards. Let us get started.

Very informative & useful by KarateLady at 02/16/08 09:04PM Flag

As a single woman living in a large city, I'm constantly trying to be aware of my surroundings and my own safety. This series of self-defense videos is not only easy to follow but has deepened my knowledge of personal safety and increased my confidence. I think everyone, especially women, could benefit from studying these videos.

Great! Very Practical! by MartialArtist at 02/16/08 08:56PM Flag

This video series really lives up to its name! It's extremely practical, well taught and makes me feel like I could actually defend myself if I had to. Thanks for making this!
