I’m just
recently back from an amazing week in Barcelona Spain where I attended the
World Elite Black Belt Society (WEBBS) World Congress. In fact I was lucky
enough to be included as one of the instructors!
I was a
great weekend and very tiring, with over 15 hours of seminars over the three
days. A personal highlight was when I was awarded my 4th Dan
(Yondan) in Jukoshin Ryu jiu-jitsu.
As I’m still
a little jet legged as I am sitting here writing this, I’m going to keep it
easy and show you a video of a ground self-defence technique from the bottom of
guard.
In grappling
the guard is considered a neutral position but often the person on the bottom
has far more option that the person on top. In a fight the person on the bottom
is in the bad passion. They cannot get mush power behind their punches, much of
their body is exposed to being hit. It’s just not a good spot to be in.
The
following video show you one possible option for defending yourself when your
back is on the ground.

I hope to
have some videos and photos for you from the Barcelona WEBBS World Congress
next week.
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.
