A lone figure in all black with a hood approaches you in a dark alley. He stops 5 feet in front of you. You are unarmed and cornered. Which of these weapons feels the least dangerous to you? Against which weapons would you rather defend yourself.

The PREMIUM tier of Defend Yourself is now live. https://www.skool.com/defendyourself/plans This membership tier will allow you to participate in the Live Q/A Sessions, gives you access to the recordings if you are unable to attend and gives you access to future courses. For a limited time, I am offering a special founders rate of $29/month. The cost will never be lower and you stay at this rate when price increases. Some of you have asked for even more personal guidance and attention. I have a VIP tier in the works as well. DM me if you want to be included in that program. In the FREE tier, you still have access to the community discussion. In the classroom you can access free introductory courses covering topics I believe everyone should know. More courses are coming. Thank you for choosing to be a part of Defend Yourself. As always, let me know if there is anything I could do better to serve. Mind Heart Respect, James 😉

You are out with your family and a drunk guy starts acting aggressive and yelling profanity at you. You keep a safe distance with your hands in good position trying to defuse and suddenly your wife steps in between you and the aggressor to try to defuse the situation.

Be honest. This is a safe space. Select the option that matches your jiu-jitsu powers. This helps me tailor training discussions, drills, and self-defense concepts to the group. Vote so I know who I’m dealing with in here 😄 💬 Drop a comment: • How long you’ve trained • Sport vs self-defense (or both) • Or the belt you feel like on your best/worst day 😏

Knee on belly escape with strikes or sport. This one is simple but works well. Try it out.
