Chapter 7: Helping Others
The highest level of confidence is displayed when a child uses their skills to protect someone else. In this chapter, the emphasis is to give children the permission and the techniques to stand up for others when they feel empowered to do so. We also remind them that even when they have the opportunity to help, it’s not a requirement, especially if they don’t feel safe.

Class 04 - Take the Back + R.N.C. - Mount | Clinch (Conservative Opponent)
Rear Naked Choke
Of all the techniques in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, the Rear Naked Choke has been responsible for more fight victories than all the rest combined. Based entirely on effective use of leverage, you can use this submission to defeat an opponent of any size. In this lesson, you will first learn the Basic Application of the choke, and then you will learn the Strong Side and Weak Side variations that can be used in a street fight.

Clinch (Conservative Opponent)
The goal in a fight is to avoid getting knocked out, establish the clinch, and get the fight to the ground where we can neutralize the opponent with greater efficiency. The easiest time to do this is when your opponent commits to attacking you aggressively. For this reason, it is best to keep the distance and wait for their attack if at all possible. In the event that your opponent approaches you conservatively during the fight, and you would like to close the distance, you can use the “surprise entry” method to establish the clinch.

Class 03 - Positional Control - Mount | Body Fold Takedown
Positional Control (Mount)
The mount is the most dominant position in a fight because it enables you to win the fight in a variety of ways while depleting your opponent’s energy. You must understand, however, that as soon as you achieve the mount, your opponent will do everything in his power to get you off of them. In this lesson you will learn how to control and exhaust a larger stronger opponent from the mount. First, you will learn how to apply effective hip pressure, and then you will see how to neutralize the most common escape attempts you can expect from an untrained opponent in a real fight.

Body Fold Takedown
Instead of exchanging punches with a larger opponent, we recommend that you establish the clinch and take them to the ground where you can exhaust and submit them. Once you establish the clinch, there is a good chance that they will get desperate and try to hit you in the face. In doing so, they will lean back and unknowingly create the perfect opportunity for the Body Fold Takedown.

Class 05 - Punch Block Series (1-4) - Guard | Guillotine Choke
Punch Block Series (Stages 1-4)
The ideal position in a ground fight is the mount. If you are unable to maintain the mount, you can use your legs to wrap the opponent in a position called the guard. The guard is the “secret weapon” for any Gracie Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. From the guard, you can apply joint locks and choke holds to subdue even the largest opponent. These submissions can only be executed, however, if you survive long enough to attempt them. With an outraged opponent in your guard, it is almost certain that punches will be thrown at your face from every possible angle. The Punch Block Series will enable you to neutralize all punches and exhaust your opponent until the opportunity arises to execute a sweep or submission. The Punch Block Series is broken down into four stages which you learn individually and in combination with one another.

Guillotine Choke
In a street fight, your opponent will most likely try to defeat you using one of two methods: 1) knock you out while standing, or 2) tackle you and then knock you out on the ground. You have already learned how to establish the clinch if they attempt to knock you out while standing. If instead, they try to tackle you, you should resort immediately to the Guillotine Choke. In this lesson you will learn the Basic Application first, and then you will learn the two variations that you can resort to in a street fight.

Class 03 - Front Choke Defenses (3 variations) | Guard Get-ups (1 & 2)
Assailants often attempt to strangle their victims during an assault. In this lesson, we teach you how to apply leverage to escape the three most commonly used Front Chokes. These techniques epitomize Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. The Guard Get-up is one of the most important physical techniques in the course. The ultimate goal for most sexual predators is to get inside their targets’ legs. Should you find yourself in this worst-case scenario, the Guard Get-up will enable you to remain calm, so you can identify the escape opportunity.

Class 06 - Armbar - Mount | Guillotine Defense
Armbar - Mount
The goal in the fight is to achieve the mount because from there we can deplete our opponent and eventually submit them with ease. When you mount an opponent, it is very common for them to reach for your chest or throat in their escape attempt, and this creates the perfect opportunity for the Straight Armlock. The Straight Armlock is one of the most dynamic submission in jiu-jitsu since it can be applied from virtually any position and it can be used to incapacitate even the largest opponent. In this lesson, you will learn how to apply the Straight Armlock from the mount, and in future lessons you will learn it from other positions in the fight.

Guillotine Defense
When you establish the clinch, and your opponent no longer has the space or distance to strike you effectively, they will often wrap your neck in an attempt to submit you. For this reason, the Guillotine Choke is one of the most common techniques used by unskilled individuals because it’s simple and it gives them a feeling of control during the chaos. Although the proper clinch position should prevent the Guillotine Choke, your opponent may surprise you if your head is too low, and in this lesson, you will learn the most important Guillotine Defense principles.

Triangle Choke - Guard
If you achieve the mount but are unable to maintain control, you should resort to the guard position. From the guard, you can neutralize punches and submit your opponent with one of several techniques. In this lesson, we will discuss the Triangle Choke which is one of the most amazing techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, since it gives any individual the ability to render their opponent unconscious from the bottom of the fight. In this lesson, you will learn the finishing steps first and then you will learn two effective methods for setting up and catching the Triangle Choke in a street fight.

Haymaker Punch Defense
In many cases, the precise movement and aim of your opponent’s strikes are hard to predict. Sometimes, however, your opponent is so eager to attack you that their punch is totally predictable. The Haymaker Punch Defense is used when a determined attacker comes at you from a distance with the objective of putting all of their bodyweight behind one fight-ending punch. Because of this punch’s power and predictability, the best option is to slip underneath it and get behind your opponent.

Class 08 - Elevator Sweep - Guard | Rear Takedown
Elevator Sweep - Guard
If you can’t maintain the mount, use the guard to control your opponent. While trapped in your guard, an unskilled larger opponent may attempt to drive their weight forward onto your upper torso, in an attempt to immobilize your or submit you with their body weight. Little do they know, because they are inside your legs, their weight is distributed in such a way that it makes it quite easy to withstand the forward pressure. In fact, any time a larger opponent is driving all their weight forward from within your guard, there is a good chance that they are actually creating an opportunity for the Elevator Sweep. In this lesson you will learn two variations of the Elevator Sweep starting with the Standard Variation.

Rear Takedown
When you establish the clinch, your opponent’s arm may end up over your head. In some cases it happens inadvertently, in other cases it’s a deliberate attempt to catch you in a Guillotine Choke. Either way, any time your head ends up under your opponent’s arm, you can use it to transition into the Rear Clinch control position, from where you can set up the Rear Takedown. In this lesson you will learn how to transition from front to back of your opponent as well as how to take them down once you get there.

Class 04 - Inverted Wrist Releases (4 variations) | Guard Get-ups (3 & 4)
While the Standard Wrist Release is quick and effective, if he changes his grip, the escape technique will no longer work. In this lesson, we’ll teach you four Inverted Wrist Releases that can be relied upon anytime the Standard Variations fail, starting with the 1-on-1 variation. The greatest challenge when trapped beneath an attacker is to avoid panic and exhaustion. In this lesson, we teach you additional variations of this critically important technique to ensure your survival against an attacker trying to punch, pin, or choke you.
