Hi, this is Shady. Mushroom Arts are not like tennis, golf or basketball. There is always that element of reality that should be taken into consideration. We do enjoy competing with each other, having respect and courtesy for each other, but at the end of the day I want you to always have a few elements in your game, whatever art you happen to practice that can easily translate to reality. So what we will do today is go through David Adams video where he shows a fight. I'm not going to show all of it because it's incredibly graphic. I don't want it to be taken down or age restricted. So what we will see is some Neuwa's elements, BJJ elements of a triangle choke and discuss it afterwards. So this video, just like the soldiers video, is very revealing of how reality can be very different than the isolated environment of two athletes competing against each other. So without further ado, let's begin. So here you have two kids fighting on grass. They're swinging at each other. You can see here and one of them falls down. They try to catch up. The BJJ guy is in the right shorts. So here you can see he tries to take his back. The guy rolls and easily shrugs him off. So he's trying to take the fight into the ground and then here he rolls shrugs it off easily. And then here he takes him down. The guy finds himself in the guard. He tries to go for a triangle choke. The guy immediately acts out of instinct, pulls him up and then performs a slam. So then after that he just hammers him down with punches. You can see him here almost unconscious trying to get things done. So it looked absolutely horrifying. If you want to quit the video you can do because there's no more things to show, but I want to talk about a few things. So the way he was punching him after the slam, it was like beating a dead horse. How do you say it? So it looked absolutely horrendous. You can go to David Adams channel and type triangle fail and you can watch the whole thing uncut. This is very revealing of reality versus competition and or sparring in class because this is what I always try to say is that self defense should always be in the back of your head. I know we developed a lot of habits during training that does not truly translate, but I want you to always have that one element or two that can easily be brought into self defense because high lift, slams, etc are always going to be there. Are you familiar with Daki Age or high lift? This in the past used to be iphone. So the idea behind this is for example you find yourself against your opponent there in open guard after maybe a fail to moinage or something. So you just gather them, pick them up like this and the moment they are up high like this it is considered iphone because technically if you can lift them like this you can easily slam them and just finish them. Personally I am very much for bringing this back as an iphone because it is very much reflective of reality because if I can pick you up like this I can finish you. So these kids were actually very lucky. So if it wasn't grass, if it was something else like bricks or asphalt that kid would be either dead or a paraplegic. So this is why I am making this video. When it comes to guard and ground game please do it if you happen to find yourself there don't have a strategy of going to the ground. I know this is built in your DNA as a BJJ guy so I want you to have that one or two element that can be easily translated into reality. For example here this triangle choke is a much better pull than what happened from the open guard. For me for example against Rokas even though he had better ground game that I did when I pulled that to my naguya I found myself in an open guard and I was able to transition the way a judoka does into Nehwaza and getting the tap even though he has better ground game. So it is that judo mentality again of doing things quickly and constantly changing and being as dynamic as possible. So for the BJJ guys listening to this I have two things to ask from you. One have one or two good take downs. Whether it is a simple body lock take down that can get you into top position or like a single leg or a double leg. I know the take downs of BJJ can be effective. They are not judo-esque like take downs but still they can be very much effective. So have that one or two take downs you need to be confident on your two feet. Not just as a take down artist like you can be a boxer that will make you confident on your own two feet. You can be a karate taker. Same thing. You need to be confident on your two feet and have that one take down just or two. And also when it comes to the ground work your top game constantly for self defense for controlling someone. Or also if you are a great guard player you just have a neck for it. You are a natural at playing guard. Lapelle, rubber guard, you know, niche shield anything. Make sure you have a good sweeping as well because if you do find yourself in a guard position and in a real fight like this kid you need to make sure to sweep them immediately and then go for this submission. Don't try to tap from the from like the bottom unless it's like it's already there and you have distance like for example that open guard triangle or open guard arm bar. So this is the thing with I would say BJJ arguments. You see Jocco willing. You see Hannah Gracie talking about oh it's it is proved that it is the best system and it is the best martial art and you know the Taekwondo guy went against the BJJ guy to come down tapped him out because BJJ is the best or the Gracie challenges. But you are still in a context of an isolated space isolated two athletes against each other where there is courtesy where there is respect and you would know that a lot of the stuff will not be done like biting, growing grabs like we saw in the soldiers video guard slamming. There's a reason why even in UFC guards I'm not sure about guard slamming but groin striking eye gouging etc are illegal because not only their unsportsman like but also they are incredibly effective. So we need to keep in mind these particular elements. So I find the BJJ arguments a little bit confusing so in a very controlled environment yes it's the best and it's nothing new actually because back in the 1910s or that Sunitane you see him here in front of you knew this and he trained his students into going more of a Neuwaza direction so he can pull guard and then isolate the guys so take away their take down abilities and then when would superior Neuwaza Pedro Valente when I had my talk with him he says it's the best strategy in a control environment where there is only two people take them to the ground eliminate a lot of their options and just proceed to win it's very easy but this particular idea arose towards I would say the end of the 1800s with all that I'm sorry Mataymon Tanabe and how he shocked everyone with his ashi garami and pulling and getting on top after his tomoina gay and winning with superior Neuwaza so after that you had Hajime Asogai and Kairi Chiro Samura developing it so they can actually get rid of him and then the 1910s and 20s you had the rivalry of Oda and all these other schools so it did this idea of I'm gonna take things to the ground and win and it's the best strategy ever and you know Bay BJJ is the best martial art it stems from this it stems from a sporting contest not so much a reality context and Kanau knew this he wrote an article to respond to Tsunetane Oda and saying that in a real life situation this tactic is very dangerous for someone who is only depending on his Neuwaza and look at these footage that I'm showing you in the past week or so the Jigoro Kanau is one of the very few people who are ahead of his time but at the same time connected to his roots judo and sastrally speaking is far more connected to its military side than BJJ in my opinion because BJJ like you said you take your time on the ground you co-curuponent you set up your submission and then you finally go get the tap while in judo it's that quick mentality do or die or you will be penalized type mentality that is still there within the rules because they want to keep it quote dynamic and spectator friendly but it can translate very well self-defense wise I don't agree with all the judo rules of course I will you know my stance and also you know my stance on BJJ and their techniques they're both two sides of the same coin but always keep that real element inside your mind I'm not saying don't stop a training BJJ of course not there's a lot of good things that can be translated into reality but don't get too comfortable on your back this is what I'm trying to say this was Shady and thank you for listening
