Today, footage emerged from Brazil where a BJJ black belt had a thief in a rear naked choke. The thief looked to be going in and out of consciousness and it’s not known whether he was out or not. Not only this, but the robbers arm was also in an armbar position which was held by another practitioner. The video also showed people flashing a gun and knife into the view of the camera, which indicates this may have been in the possession of the thief.
The back story is that the thief tried to mug a woman outside of a BJJ gym, so the black belt and others decided to intervene and help the woman out. Supposedly, the mugger was taken down and got his back taken and from there the fight was over. Once again, this only goes to show the real power of BJJ and how effective it can be in a practical self defense situation.
