BLUE BELT SELF-DEFENSE

Self-Defense (attacks/counters)

1. Quickly perform all self defense techniques in order from white to green belt’s first two techniques including the first two greenbelt knife defenses, then number 1 and number 4 purplebelt gun defenses with a different person attacking each time in succession.

2. Attacker grabs your right wrist with his left hand using the 1rst orange belt self defense and you grab his left wrist with your left hand and twist your right hand outward toward their thumb stepping away from attacker with your farthest foot while pulling away your right arm back, then lean toward your attacker with a right spear hand turning into an armbar with attacker’s left arm bending them over and use your torso to shift your body weight backward then forward into the armbar as mentioned to build good momentum while doing technique.

3. Another variation of this would be to lift up attacker’s wrist with your right arm turning your hand to the left so you can grab the outside of attacker’s wrist with your left hand locking their wrist and then continue with the same armbar.

4. Attacker right high hook punches as you block with a left outer forearm block/right palm strike to chin, then grab the back of the attacking wrist with your right hand then push their right elbow upward with bending their arm in to finish them with the same finish as orange belt 2 while holding their head down with your right knee.

5. Then do a variation after the block/palm strike seize attacking arm and circle it down and upward in a circle to the right and lock their elbow on top of your left shoulder to break their arm, then circle your body to the right while holding their arm bringing them down on their back.

Lesson 16: Punch Block Series (Stages 1-4)

Stage 1: To control your opponent from your closed guard to help prevent punches swim your arms to the inside and hold his head down with one arms and hold his other arm down by putting your other arm on top of his above the elbow and work on getting you thighs up high on his body and your head up. If he swims your arm that is not holding his head just swim it back through but if he uses the side that you are holding his head just hold his head with your other arm then you can do the same swim you first did. 

Stage 2: When opponent tries to pull his arms back to deliver body shots your fill the space by putting your knees in the crook of his elbows while grabbing the top of the punching arms one by one. If he makes himself heavy again you can pull him back to stage 1. 

Stage 3: They might try to sit up for a really big punch and to fill that space you use both knees against his chest if you need to your feet can wedge on his hips and push up your stomach so he cannot reach you. You can drop him back to stage 1 with your arms covering your face if he pushes towards you. 

Stage 4: If he stands all the way up you keep your legs a little bent with your feet on his hips/waist like a belt with heels together and toes in opposite directions. After he punches once or twice bring him back in to stage one as before and use your feet to make sure he does not smash you by coming in to fast.

Lesson 17: Elevator Sweep You’re opponent is in your closed guard and you trap one of his arms as he posts out his opposite leg punching you with his free hand on the same side as his posted leg. Your leg that is under his posted leg moves out and hooks under the thigh of his posted leg as you use your free arm to underhook the arm that’s punching you to push his weight in opposite direction of his posted leg as you lift his posted leg with your foot to lean him farther in that direction, then your sweep him with your other leg and flip him all the way over.

Lesson 18: Double Ankle Sweep Opponent is in your guard and starts to stand up straight over you from a punch block stage 1 scenario you let him up slowly as you put both knees squeezed together on his chest and grab both of his ankles to bump him on his back with your knees, then get up on one elbow and put the knee on that same side onto the ground and with your other side’s arm grab his neck then staying low, assume the mount position. OR, if your opponent is too tall to get your knees on his chest put both feet into his thighs, grab his ankles and push him on his back, then stand up in base and either push his chest to knock him back down as he tries to get up you then assume side control mount, or grab his foot to move his legs out of the way, then assume side control mount.

Lesson 19: Pull Guard Opponent is in your clinch and starts backing away and you underhook both of his armpits with both of your hands while you rest your head on his shoulder looking away from his head and double step towards him, then you shoot your butt backwards enough that he cannot land and get mount on you or knee you in the groin so he lands right into your guard which you then close and get into stage 1 by holding down his head with one arm and his arm with your other arm to keep him close lessening his chance to punch you.

Lesson 20: Elbow Escape (Mount)

Shrimp Drill: Lay on your back and put one knee up with your leg bent keeping the other leg straight. Turn away from your bent leg on your side faced towards your straight leg and push your butt backwards in a shrimplike motion by pushing with your bent leg until both of your legs are straight and you are on your side. Do this in both directions.

Elbow Escape: Your opponent has mounted you with both of his arms in a wide base staying very low and you hug his back to keep him close and block his knee with your hand or elbow on his other side. Your leg is straight on the side with your arm blocking his leg and your other leg is bent with knee up. Push the blocked leg towards his feet as you sweep your straight leg under his knee then turn the other way faced more towards your arm that is hugging him close then hug his neck with your free arm while you trap the leg you were just freed from with your outside leg (you can use other leg to switch leg traps if they are very heavy) then use the hugging arm to push the leg on that side towards his feet so you can push out the knee on that side with your foot still trapped then you bite his back with your other foot but not too tight and then put the hand you were pushing his knee down with above his shoulder and shoot your butt out in the direction of the same side where your arm is on top of the shoulder and use that arm to hug the neck as you free your leg on that side and now you are in his guard.

Elbow Escape Continued:

1. Hook Removal: If opponent has his hooks in straighten the leg on the side where you are hugging his back to pop his foot out then use your foot on same leg to push down on heel of the foot of his other hooked leg while you straighten out the leg he is hooking then put your straightened leg on top of the foot you are using to hold his foot then take it out so your leg is know glued to the ground so he cannot put his hook back in.

2. Fish Hook: When you are trying to push his leg downward with your hand but his leg is too long and heavy to sweep out your leg you can make his leg lighter by using your other leg’s foot to lift his leg up under his ankle before sweeping your leg out.

3. Heel Drag: If when you use the fish hook but his knee won’t lift because he makes his foot light then you use the foot you are trying to hook with to lever his leg by wrapping it and pulling it in the direction of his other leg allowing you to free your leg to continue.
