So last week we started our discussion on failed techniques. This is a topic that is too often neglected. Many many people plod along learning their syllabus and never think about what may actually happen in a real fight. After all, we do this in class it must it must work in the street right?
In a real fight your attacker is unlikely to be in exactly the same position, punch, or step the way you practice. All this combined with the stress of a real fight may well add up to your first technique not working the way you want it to. So how do we improve the odds a bit?
We start think about combining techniques. Figuring out what technique flows into the next. This is hard to do at lower belt levels but by green belt you should have enough techniques to start making a few connections. Think about this now, practice this now and it may well save you later.
Today I want to specifically look at a defence from a rear hair grab. Many styles of jiu-jitsu have something similar. If you’re not sure what this is or want something more instructional on how to DO the techniques shown here check out our on-line jiu-jitsu program and videos at www.learn-jiu-jitsu-online.com.

The video below talks more about this and shows some possible follow-up techniques from a failed breaking rear hair grab.
The fail point is the breaking rear hair grab, figure lock is both good and bad. Lets look at it. So your attacker grabs you by the hair from behind. You reach up to smash your knuckles down on the hand to release their grip and then do a figure lock BUT as your reach up they pull their hand away. So the good part is that they no longer have a hair grab, the bad well they are now standing directly behind you and you have no control over them. So check out the video for a couple of possible options.
Next time we will look at the breaking lapel grab to a failed half wrist lock.
As always is you are looking for more great videos or to learn the wonderful art of jiu-jitsu please check out our web site at www.learn-jiu-jitsu-online.com.
