best rear naked choke defense - paul vunak style

[bongothom]

For those who don't know, Paul is legendary. His RAT system is designed to teach people to defend themselves in just a few days, not months or years. He keeps it very simple with
ruthless aggression, eye gouges, groin strikes and yes, biting. Of course no one is going to be a UFC champion in just a few days...that's not his intent. Surviving a beat down is his intent.

Truth be told, if someone is behind you like that, you're in trouble.

Vu's assistant here is my homie George. Literally one of the baddest dudes I've ever known. We grew up together. He's who got me into training all those years ago and thankfully still a good friend today.

as a bouncer my advice is don't do this, when its real, you won't remember this, instead grab a finger (their finger😉) and wrench it back, pull like a your ass depends on it.
if it breaks keep pulling.
works every time.
if you can do this that's great, but the size of some of the guys I've had to deal with, could lift the average guy off their feet with one arm around the neck like that.
you want something that makes them let go as soon as possible, because they may not be the only one you have to deal with.
"bee stings" grabbing/breaking fingers, firing stiff finger hands at their face, crotch slaps etc. to make them forget about the hold for a second.
no quarter, no hesitation, be mean and nasty.

It's a simplified version of the Kombato defense for the same situation. But it works anyway. In Brazil we have more variations for this scenario, because many aggressions ends like this here.

I did this in a comp. Worked really well!!

[computerhoofd]

"Most people" haha.

Shout out to Marcelo Garcia who can choke people with one arm.

[riffsthatkill]

Best way to defend this is actually to just hold up your phone with the comments section of this YouTube video fully visible, and watch as your attacker removes one of their hands/arms so they can scratch their head.

I love these defensive techniques. You never know when a man or a woman might need them.

This dude is one of the seals best kept secrets 😉

Why do people don't want to mess with dogs? That's because they bite. So if you bite, nobody would want to mess with you...

[anthonybenevides]

Insightful but niave, I start the choke using my own forehead for leverage, then snake in the 2nd arm, there's nothing to 2nd arm defense against. The finger grab mentioned by Dabunny Rabbit is probably your best bet here, especially since you already ended up on the ground and have few other options.

[angogablogian]

I’ve used the bite like this to defend and save my life before, very effective.

[rapidself-defense]

A lot of comments from people who seem to have watched a different video than what is here. He doesn't say if you're in a rear naked choke just bite down (which many are saying if the guy flexes his arm you'll bust your teeth out or break your jaw) he said stop the rear naked choke first. He also didn't say once stopped just start biting, He said trap the arm in place so it can't move, then bite. And it's not a 'nibble' (which Vu did say, but the whole video explains) it's tear the flesh off their arm like a rottweiler. So to review, you don't do this if you're in a rnc, you prevent the choke, trap the arm in place, and rip down to the bone. Lastly, Vu has just shy of 30 years of jiu jitsu training under his belt, and a lot of the biting techniques he teaches were endorsed by Roy Harris (who was VP of Paul Vunak's company in the late 90's)

[jitsulee]

Regarding the biting part. Many people who haven't done jiujitsu don't know that you can be Rear naked choked not only from the neck grip but also from the chin grip. So if someone tries to tuck the chin in to bite, you squeeze your forearm so hard on the chin that it might break their jaw or choke them out immediately due to the vicious pressure. We aren't allowed to do that in training just not to be a douchebag to the partner but you can see many such subs in the competition. So guys, save your teeth and jaw, don't try to bite or get yourself in that position specially with a jiujitsu practitioner. Tap and ask for mercy.

[dugoabdulrauf]

Sun? He REALLY bit DA piss out dat arm! 😂

[johnh]

self awareness is your first line of defence, as mentioned already, if your in this situation then odds are against you.

[TheLockon]

Best part of the video was him tucking the second arm under his own armpit.

Marcelo Garcia and Gordon Ryan Win Most Bouts with One Arm Rear Naked 🥋

The only part I don’t like about the bite is if they have some kind of disease, I prefer a stiff rear headbutt and a mule kick if you’re standing.
