A jiu-jitsu instructor steps in front of the camera with one assumption locked in from the start: your attacker is bigger and stronger than you. This is a vintage street self-defense series, not sport. He opens with choke defense, and the approach is clear right away - chin position, leverage, and precise footwork over raw strength.
The choke section alone covers multiple scenarios. Two hands at the throat. One hand. Backed against a wall. Each variation gets its own specific counter, and the details stack fast. Then it moves into shoulder grab defense with a clean arm lock that ends the threat in seconds.
Bear hugs come next, and this is where the material gets serious. Over the arms, under the arms, from the front, from behind. Hip scoops for some scenarios. Foot grabs and controlled sit-downs for others. And if the attacker lifts you completely off the ground? There's still an answer.
Then comes the club defense. Timing is everything here. Can you close the distance and strip the weapon before the swing comes down? And what if he's standing far enough back that the close-range approach stops working?
