Ok, so that’s the greatest mount escape of all time.

Fantastic job, Paul! Thanks very much for the time and effort that goes into posting these videos, they are a Godsend as I’ve very little time to get to the gym because of my long work hours. Great food for thought, straight to the point and very well articulated. Thanks again, I look forward to the next one!

More great information from The Wise Grappler. An endless supply of gold nuggets of grappling wisdom. Keep ‘em coming, Paul.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:37 pm
I like how you can throw in a bite during the mount escape. Gotta keep thinking Street and not Mat for self defense. Very cool stuff.
February 5th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
Great stuff….not all ring stuff works on the street and most street stuff ain’t allowed in the ring. Great, keep em coming.
February 5th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
Very good advice shown in the video, Thank you. I know its very basic stuff for most but for me just starting out its all good advice! I was training with an experienced friend and after a couple minutes he got me in an armbar. I took a heel in the eye before he got me though! LOL
February 5th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
That was great! I did not expect that at all (neither did your training partner)! Once again, a simple technique that is highly effective. Many (so called) martial arts schools probably wouldn’t teach this kind of technique because it is “dirty” or “unfair”. Real life is “dirty” and “unfair”, but you have to be willing to do just about anything to protect yourselves or your family. Keep up the great work! Love your videos everytime!

As with all your OG material that I have, simple, real and doable. Thanks
February 5th, 2010 at 9:25 pm
I had to replay that first escape a few times — it was so quick I didn’t catch what had happened.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:30 pm
Pretty good move, Paul!! … Grappling is easy but we always are looking for more complex move that the position need…. Go ahead your work in this matter is great for me… I only need to pass the grappling test to get my black belt…. and usually I use some of your moves & works pretty good for me….
February 5th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
Nice and simple….always the best strategy.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:48 pm
Very cool
February 5th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
Good stuff !Simple works ! Seen more than a few fights ,ended quite a few as a doorman ,correctional officer etc..
Fancy does not work outside the gym .Never seen 2 highly trained guys square off .. they know better . Big guy vs little guy , bully\punk vs drunk etc.
Also keep in mind that often alcohol and drugs are involved in most street situations …makes fools of us all .
Problem I have with most self defense moves when taught in the self defence context is that most citizens only fight if taken by surprise and than only well drilled moves will come to the fore .
Peace

Great job Paul. Your understanding to us older grapplers is priceless, if you were in california, I’d sign up to be your student. Competition and self defense are two different scenerios, and this info is priceless.
February 5th, 2010 at 11:14 pm
Surprised me. I had to rewind a couple of times. I’d rather get up than fight “fair”. Thank you.
February 6th, 2010 at 4:30 am
Ok, that makes sense from a street self-defense standpoint. Too many people forget that the street doesn’t have any rules, so you need to do what it takes to protect yourself. The great thing about it is that you still didn’t need to do anything other than inflict pain. No permanent harm was done. Great!
On the other hand, how well will that move translate to MMA or BJJ competition. In other words, is there anything similar that this self-defense move is descended from?

Nice techniques, good to see practical self defense tips being considered as they can easily be forgotten when focusing on the sport side of things.
All your posts and lessons are excellent, thanks for doing this.
February 6th, 2010 at 8:08 am
bjj Biting Jiut Jitsu!
February 6th, 2010 at 8:22 am
Good stuff, Paul! As usual.
February 6th, 2010 at 8:36 am
Don’t know what to say,but I watched it.
February 6th, 2010 at 8:39 am
More ‘real life’ useful knowledge. Awesome stuff. We are all taught the gentlemanly art of grappling. We need to know how to apply it in street survival mode. You give us what we need to know to survive. You are the man, who else is going to tell you to bite your opponent—–no one! Damn, sometimes you just have to be ‘dirty’ to survive.
February 6th, 2010 at 9:44 am
Very effective, I use it all the time
February 6th, 2010 at 10:16 am
hahahahaha that is great
February 6th, 2010 at 10:23 am
Thanks. Sometimes we forget that in class we are playing, and in real life, we can, and must, apply all aspects of fighting that we normally need to disgard (and not even consider) in a classroom environment.
February 6th, 2010 at 12:40 pm
Awesome…for somebody like me, with very little natural athleticism, 40 years old, I love the simplicity of the technique…the video was to the point, and practical. Thanks.
February 6th, 2010 at 12:42 pm
Is there any reason why you don’t trap their arm or hook a leg before you roll? I’ve never seen it done that way before.
February 6th, 2010 at 1:39 pm
Looks good so far Paul. Could you post a table of contents og the DVD? Would like to see an example of something from the bottom.
February 6th, 2010 at 1:55 pm
Thank you this is the type of stuff I need to teach my young children, how to really handle themselves in a bad situation! I am signing up to see what you have to offer.
February 6th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
Hi Paul it was my pleasure being at that seminar, i had learned some real good practical self defense and had written down some of the techniques , i would like to purchase the DVD Thanks again your friend Chuck
February 6th, 2010 at 11:44 pm
Oh, we’re here…and watching! great stuff, very practical. you are to old to be grappling, thats why the practical stuff, thats not in the juijitsui manuals, is so priceless for us OGs. I’m too old for the stupid stuff as well, things dont heal as fast so its best for stupid injuries not to happen. Thanks for the wisdom and keep it up. Wisdom Rules

Love it. Best weapon in a street fight… not an elbow, not a fist, but ya mothaf%$&in teeth.
February 7th, 2010 at 1:08 am
Love it. Best weapon in a street fight…not an elbow, not a fist, but ya f*#%in’ teeth!
February 7th, 2010 at 5:45 am
This is great stuff, Paul. Self defense is probably a big reason many OG’s go to the gym. Thank you for making these videos! Please keep it up.
February 7th, 2010 at 10:11 am
Awesome! My most memorable day learning Officer Survival at the Police Academy, involved escaping the mount, while my opponent was raining punches on my head, while maintaing weapon retention in my holster. My head hurt for 3 days after, but it was most empowering to know that it can be done.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:41 pm
I swear these videos are great!. the knowledge you are sharing with us all can definatly benefit us all.
THANKS!
February 8th, 2010 at 10:16 am
Paul – thanks for demonstrating the techniques. I like the part where you get out of the mount and stand up to either continue defending yourself our better yet walking away. Street fights are uncontrolled and you never know what other things can come into play (i.e. guns, knives, family members).
February 9th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
Hey OG,
Your too old to be grappling. Just kidding! wanted to get your attention.
I like that you are demonstrating some important differences in street situations versus sport situations. I have thought because I have some BJJ skills I will not have to worry, I know my stand up is weak and in street situations I probably will not want to take the fight to the ground. It makes us think outside the BJJ box.
Thanks,
Brian

What a way of keeping it K.I.S.S. It’s great.

Very good, simple to the point defense. I like the fact that you incorporate real word scenario and brought up the crowd factor. You never know what people around you may do, they might help and they might kick your A**! Being aware of your surroundings is key to survival. I was recently in Mexico and thwarted an attack by two individuals that were going to attack my wife and I. I was aware of my surroundings and the two individuals, saw their movements and placed my wife in a position out of the way of danger and began counter movement. The individuals quickly changed their tack and moved away.
