Frequently Asked Questions

How can a non-grappler defend against Jiu-Jitsu or wrestling attacks?

Non-grapplers can defend by using structural framing with their limbs to create distance and prevent opponents from establishing control. Striking from these frames, along with techniques like leg pinning and joint manipulation, can disrupt attacks and create opportunities to escape or counter.

What is 'frame-striking' in self-defense?

Frame-striking involves using your limbs (like forearms or shins) as a defensive barrier or 'frame' against an opponent's attack, such as a takedown attempt. This frame can also be used to deliver strikes, disrupting the opponent's balance and intent.

How do you counter an opponent in your guard?

When an opponent is in your guard, maintain posture and use elbow frames to create space. Focus on delivering strikes rather than getting drawn into a grappling exchange. Techniques like leg pinning can also help control their movement.

What are 'cold joint' manipulations?

'Cold joint' manipulations are specific techniques designed to cause immediate, sharp pain to an opponent's joints. The goal is to force a quick release or transition from a hold or position due to the intense discomfort, rather than through prolonged submission holds.
