Jiu-jitsu’s deepest roots are in self-defense and the ability to manage a real-life altercation without incurring a great deal of damage is a skillset all in its own. NOT ALL THEMES IN JIU-JISTU TRANSLATE TO THE PAVEMENT. If we hope to come out on the winning end of a real scuffle, there’s quite a bit to consider when we’re transitioning our BJJ knowledge to this kind of setting. Distance management becomes more important than ever and the ability to stay safe, while we remove ourselves from bad positions needs your careful consideration. LEARN TO DOMINATE THE STREET ALTERCATION in this comprehensive 4-part series from Eli Knight.

Eli Knight is an innovator in the BJJ/self-defense realm and he’s spent years adapting practical BJJ for the street among many other ventures.
