From Fit to Fight Charlotte

October 8, 2026

What happens when someone pins your lead hand and takes away your ability to strike freely?

Chapters:

In this Modern Krav Maga™ training video, we explore striking and wrestling-based responses to lead hand control, including how to adapt when your preferred option is no longer available.

The goal isn't to memorize one perfect response. It's to understand your options, recognize opportunities, and develop the ability to transition between striking and grappling when the situation changes.

At Fit to Fight®, we train practical self-defense through Modern Krav Maga™, wrestling, grappling, and striking.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
