this and more here on the dean show
don't go anywhere this is the de the
this is the
the this is
the this is the
the
the this is
the this is the this is
[Music]
the so the B
how are you doing how are you thanks for
having me man how you been amazing man
I'm excited to be here I've heard about
the dean show I've seen other interviews
and I always wondered if I would get the
invite I'm excited that you accepted the
invitation thank you for being with us
pleasure time time is short you heard me
open the show we mentioned Bruce Lee the
graci sees we're tapping into a market
the dean show thank God is viewed
internationally all over the globe and
some people still they don't know right
I know you know definitely so some
people we mentioned Bruce Lee
now you know I I was growing up to Bruce
Lee most of us we love Bruce Lee I even
went to Elementary School uh I think in
eth grade and I put the like the Kung Fu
suit on I was so hyped that was it so so
let's talk a little bit let's introduce
the people now they think man you know
what Bruce Lee this guy will kill
anybody he'll just dominate but now we
got Helio Gracie and the Gracie family
let's get them exposed talk to us yeah
it's definitely um you know people it's
the one of the most common questions I
get you know as a member of this this
Gracie family is who would have won
Bruce or elu Bruce or ho Bruce Hixon
Bruce anybody and um I think it's just a
different era you know there's no doubt
and I think that not to take anything
away from Bruce Bruce is a very
dedicated martial Artisan like like the
Gracie family he's very dedicated to
taking what works and disregarding what
doesn't and in that sense we're very
similar but um if you ask me Bruce in
his prime and any Gracie in their Prime
The Gracie jiujitsu has the advantage
simply because Bruce would need to
remain standing and striking whereas the
Gracie family would want to close the
distance take him to the ground and
unless he got that one punch or one kick
knockout and he goes to the ground then
he's in our territory you know at that
point he would use a lot of energy waste
his energy and he'd get choked out but
we would let go and we' be friends after
and he would learn Jiu-Jitsu after
that's the funny part he's open-minded
yes see I'm I'm going to play the
skeptic because I know but some people
don't so they'll just say like look
Bruce Lee would have just been
like I know one punch one kick he's done
and and the truth is you know we never
had a chance to test jutu against Bruce
but we've tested jiujitsu against every
other striking discipline and and and
and and Mastery form of martial art that
you could possibly imagine and all of
them felt the same way 30 years of
Taekwondo 30 years of boxing 15 20 years
of of kickboxing and they felt they can
get that perfect puncher kick the
problem is in order for the perfect
puncher kick to land I have to be right
here at this range I have to be one arm
length away from you so what does the
Gracie do stands two arm lengths away
two arms away where the punches don't
reach so what does the striker do I have
to get closer to hit them but when the
striker gets closer to hit you and you
grab them you now mess up their distance
so the striker has one chance out of a
100 to knock us out we have 99 chances
out of 100 to grab a hold of their
clothing their body and pull them in and
if we grab them it's over because the
the distance is no longer there for the
punch my my grandfather always said this
in a fight whoever manages the distance
manages the damage that can be done so
if we stay away and then we grab them
that's a deal amazing amazing now this
was proven this is not a theory no it's
not a theory and that's where your
family came in 85 years your father
how's he doing amazing having kids
living the life chilling retirement
letting me and he don't run the show and
he's very relaxed i' like to say hello
to your father the rest of the family
and we really are grateful and thankful
for this you know this this martial art
really I I I I got addicted as soon as I
came in had a had had a small guy
literally like 130 lbs I went into uh at
the time we were the the representatives
for the Gracie Academy here in Chicago
and I was just really into working out
I've did a lot of uh standup martial
arts you know I used to like to throw
punches and then it was all about the
bench press who can bench more you know
what I'm talking so I went in there
small guy got me tired locked my arm
boom I was addicted you had you had to
respect it cuz it worked and and this is
the the UFC proved it all talk about
your family started this your father
well yeah cuz my family had been testing
it when the UFC was created in 1993 for
65 years prior to that my family had
already been testing jiujitsu against
other disciplines of martial arts so we
already knew Jiu-Jitsu had a superior
you know Superior skills for a real
street fight so it had been tested
successfully for so many years that my
dad just said well if we can put this on
television then we'll be able to answer
the most important question of them all
which system of self-defense is most
effective when there are no rules no
time limits no judges no points nothing
you two men go in one man walks out and
really be able to test once and for all
what really works and I think that you
know we accomplished that because UFC W
for any of you out there who've never
seen you know the original UFC's you
have to go back UFC 1 2 3 and four are
the main ones because each fighter in
that situation represented a discipline
and it was wrestling versus karate
boxing versus Jiu-Jitsu savat versus
Sumo this is amazing stuff and you get a
chance to really see in a raw setting
what really works and what doesn't from
the best Representatives but my dad was
very clever he knew that of all the
eight representatives of all the martial
artists he wanted to put the jiujitsu
representative to be the smallest one
the the physically smallest and weakest
one so that when Hoist the
representative from our family would go
in there and defeat these Giants people
would not be able to attribute his
success to his physical attributes and
when he defeated them which he did
people said wow if the little skinny
Brazilian guy can beat the Giants that's
what I want to learn so basically it was
a big demonstration uh of the
effectiveness of Jiu-Jitsu and it worked
perfect L thank God ho won because who
knows where we'd be if he didn't and and
that was it man I put jiujitsu on the
map 1993 that went down
1994 US Army contacted our family and
since then the US Army has been
practicing Jiu-Jitsu as part of their
basic combatives training 1.2 million
soldiers now adopted jiujitsu it's
amazing it's amazing amazing definitely
and anyone I know who's uh incorporated
into their life even if they've trained
30 years in other martial art I mean
they've tremendously benefit what about
the person who says look look look look
the martial art that we do is too deadly
hey my next guest is so dangerous
everybody that we have a paramedic
standing by you can't be tested because
if we tested somebody might end up dead
have you heard these yeah we've heard
that and and you know and and and and
they all generally change their mind
once they get choked out and they wake
up from the choke and they say wow that
was that was pretty amazing because
these guys they can't fight in the UFC
but they can come to the academy and
they can have a challenge match which
they did for the last 65 70 years this
happened where guys would come in and we
would say listen you do what you do
whether that's headbutt grind strikes
you want to do that ey gouge whatever
you want you do what you do we do what
we do and we'll fight so let's not get
it twisted people have come and tested
these deadly
techniques all to to to no avail and uh
and jiujitsu has prevailed again doesn't
matter what it is they need a certain
distance they need access to my face and
if I'm blocking and managing the
distance correctly the the stes and the
and the techniques simply don't work how
about this art where you can't even grab
the guy and he's like 20 guys are coming
at him and he's doing some stuff people
just falling he can actually put you out
without even touching you without even
touching them using energy to interfere
with their nervous system please welcome
the man with the fingers of
death I can't wait to learn that
one amazing amazing we're going take a
break hener let's do it and we'll be
right back with more here on the dean
show what are we doing here and where
are we going to go it's like we just
woke up one morning and then it's
welcome to the show don't ask any
questions just go with the flow make as
much money as you can and try your best
not to get broke copy everything you see
on the TV from the hairstyles to the
cloes and don't think too often just do
exactly as you're told and if you ever
get confused and just turn towards the
alcohol you'll still hear your thoughts
then just Turn up the radio as you learn
to live a lifestyle of drugs sex and
rock and
roll but in all honesty I just need to
know is there more to the cycle than
growing and getting old living and dying
just to leave behind a happy home and a
whole lot of property that somebody else
is going to own I just really need to
know before the caskets closed cuz I'm
not willing to gamble with My Soul nor
am I ready to take any chances these are
just simple life questions and I'm just
searching for some answers like what are
we doing here and what is our purpose
how did we get here and who made us so
perfect and what happens once we go or
is this world all really worth it
questions we don't answer because
apparently we don't really have to
there's no purpose to this life and our
existence is merely natural then in in
that case please let me ask you did you
create yourself or was it somebody else
who had fashioned you cuz you're a being
that's impeccable faultless and
unparalleled you're a product of supreme
intelligence and I'm merely being
rational for there isn't a camera on
this Earth that can come close to the
human eye nor a computer that can
compete alongside the human mind and if
the whole world was to come together we
wouldn't be able to create a single fly
so many signs yet we still deny a
science tries to justify that all this
could come from none when it's a simple
sum 0 plus 0 plus 0 cannot possibly ever
give you one so from where did all this
order come but everything has its
Origins a maker a creator of its own I
mean the only reason you're watching
this video is because somebody had to
press upload so we can believe in the
Big Bang but I'd rather believe in he
who caused it to
explode Allah the creator of everything
along with every single soul the ever
living the master the only one who is in
control unlike his creation beyond our
imagination and no he's not a man nor
does he have any Partners in
association he's on his own and no he
did not ever leave us alone
just like every manufacturer he left us
with an instruction manual the Quran and
Islam and I'm sorry to jump to
conclusions but it's the only one
possible the only definition of God is
the one and only Supreme Being it's
logical a book with zero contradictions
with Miracles that are both scientific
and historical all revealed over 1,400
years ago
like the detailed description of the
human embryo the descriptions of the
human embryo in the Quran cannot be
based on scientific knowledge in the
seventh century to the mountains as pegs
holding firm the earth below and the two
seas that don't mix in a complete
separate flow to the planet in orbit
alternating night and day as they stay
in flow the expansion of the universe
and the creation of everything from H2O
to the stories of the past and the
preservation of pharaoh to identifying
the lowest point in the land where
Persia defeated Rome the gushing fluid
that created man in the glands between
the ribs and the backbone and not a word
has changed they still the same so
please explain how all this was known
over 1,400 years ago to a man who
couldn't read or write as he would
recite what whatever the Angels spoke
and if you still don't believe please
try to come up with something that's
even close but you can't so we took God
as a mockery and his Messengers as a
joke dismissed his scriptures as Legends
and tales of the ancient folk as we live
life according to our whims desires and
hopes saying this life is the only home
we will ever know we will live then die
then simply turn to Bones yo low
correction after the grass dies the rain
arrives and it regrows and Allah
promises to do the same thing to your
very soul and bring you back from your
very fingertips to your toes as the
allseeing Supreme Being watches us so
close and we are surely being tested in
our wealth our health and our self and
everything that we've been blessed with
so believe for we will surely be
resurrected and be brought back to our
Lord and account for every single deed
as he hands us our books and orders us
to
read from the bad to the good and
everything in between you yourself are
sufficient for your own accountability
so don't be mad at me you are the one
who thought he wouldn't come back to me
I gave you a whole lifelong to search
after me but you were busy in all that
which was temporary so read and Glad
Tidings to all those who believed and if
you
disbelieve read and don't let that day
be the first day you find out what your
life really
means
read back here on the dean show with
Henner Gracie your family started built
the UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship
proof can we say with without a doubt
without a shadow of a doubt that Gracie
Brazilian Jutsu is the most effective
proven the most effective martial art in
the world on the planet no doubt no
doubt I I think that nowadays we have a
lot of people who are merging different
disciplines and practicing multiple Arts
which is a great thing as well but uh
when you when you really you know sort
them out there's no doubt that Jiu-Jitsu
R Jiu-Jitsu has the most proven track
record uh in real Combat against other
disciplines so that being said if you
had to choose something to practice juu
is the best place to start I I mean
again I'm tell testifying to that
because I used to box uh standup kickbox
and when I Incorporated it was all about
you know just throwing the punch and you
know you get your hands broken you know
head butting but man it's so soft it's
it's it's like a a Jiu-Jitsu the soft
art it's such a gentle way to subdue
someone you don't even have to hurt them
and that's think that I think that's a
it's an aspect that a lot of people a
lot of Humane individuals really
appreciate about it because not every
altercation you encounter with someone
who tries to either offend you or an
uncle who gets too drunk at a family
gathering and is acting ridiculous and
you have to control this person not
every situation warrants ripping
someone's eyes out of their sockets you
know what I'm saying so to have a
technique and have a system of
self-defense that gives you the full
range of options in dealing with someone
whether it be just neutralization holds
where you can just control someone
against their will until they decide to
cooperate or you know deadly techniques
where I can break someone's joints or
kill someone if I have to Jitsu gives
you the full range
and I think that's what people
appreciate the most about it because a
lot of times I ask someone you know you
should learn J Jitsu and and and why
don't you and they say well I'm a lover
not a fighter and that's the worst
answer possible because my response to
them is if you're really a lover then
you should learn jiujitsu because only
then can you control your drunk uncle
without hurting them at the kid's
birthday party because if you don't know
J Jitsu what are you going to do punch
his face in or it's going to be a bloody
brawl but with your Jitsu no blood no
cuts no nothing crazy just control which
ties into our Gracie bully prooof
anti-bullying program the non-violence
aspect that's what I was going to get
into next we know that millions of kids
are bullied each year hundreds of
thousands they refuse sometimes to even
go to class to school tell us about this
program that you guys do to help Empower
children so they can prevent major
because we grew up in the Gracie family
very fortunate you know all around my
uncles and my dad and my grandfather
learning how to defend myself from as
early as I can walk I'm learning
self-defense not every kid had that
opportunity so for us when my brother
and I grew grew up and we matured and we
finally took over the Gracie Academy it
was our belief that if we could create a
program that would give families the
opportunity and the resources to prepare
their children the same way my brothers
and I were prepared from an early age we
would be doing a great service for the
world for for for mankind and we went
for it we created the Gracie bully
prooof atome training program where on
DVD or online someone can have the exact
lessons that our father put us through
from the beginning and it starts with
Gracie games they learn how to play
jiujitsu they don't even know they're
learning self-defense and they're
learning the principles of control and
movement and closeness and distance
management and once they get that basic
Foundation then they learn the Rules of
Engagement we teach them when they can
and when they can't use these techniques
in
self-defense once they understand that
that side of things then we start
teaching them what's called Junior
Grapplers Junior combatives and these
techniques are the self-defense 33
techniques basically that they'll need
for any self-defense situation on school
grounds on the way home from school to
defend against a larger attacker and the
best part at least that I've gotten
feedback from parents around the world
the best part is the nonviolence aspect
because if you take if you if you have a
kid who's getting bullied and you take
him to Boxing class or karate class and
you say hey go learn some punches and
kicks that child's only resource to
aggression or harassment is going to be
to punch and kick the aggressor in the
face and you're turning the victim into
the bully in that case so for us it's
not about fighting fire with more fire
it's teaching the children how to fight
fire with water if an aggressor comes we
teach them how to First neutralize it
verbally verbal Jiu-Jitsu if that
doesn't work you have to get help tell a
teacher tell a parent tell a grown-up if
that doesn't work and the aggressor
still is attacking them then they can
defend themselves with techniques but
only to match the level of aggression
coming so just enough to put out the
fire but no more and that's the secret
and and in that sense we're creating
more respectful disciplined tolerant and
confident more importantly than anything
else uh young boys and girls hen we're
gonna go to a clip right now and then
we're gonna come back it's really um
it's sad to see something like this but
we want the audience to um to see really
the reality of what's going on in some
of these schools and we get your
thoughts on this let's do it watch as a
15-year-old classmate in the white
T-shirt slams Austin to the ground and
punches him relentlessly now you just
saw that heartbreaking clip you see that
I mean the kid would just attacked and
just beaten tell us your thoughts on
this well yeah this is um this is Austin
McDaniel this happened in Indiana last
year October November and uh you know
you know him now oh yeah well yeah so
we've since had a chance to train Austin
and and Austin was beat up and and
someone sent me this video and you know
it's it's sad because every time I see a
video like this because you can imagine
how many cases like this are not
recorded by school security cameras 99%
are not caught on camera so to have a
chance to see this reminds us of the of
the of the bowling epidemic that we're
dealing with here in the United States
and uh it inspired me to do something
because I knew I could help Austin so so
I reached out to his family uh and
fortunately they accepted the Gracy
Academy offer to come to Torrance where
we actually spent a week training Austin
and and ultimately empowering him with
the physical self-defense techniques and
the psychological and the verbal
jiujitsu techniques we sent him back
after a week and I can say this um he
wasn't the same kid basically we we we
transformed him from the inside out and
uh he'll never have this problem again
for the rest of his life and if you care
to see the actual uh the documentary of
his week with us it's on it's on YouTube
Austin McDaniels onewe
transformation we we know that I mean
this this is is something that like we
said it's an epidemic it's really scary
so do you do you believe firmly that now
when a kid like Austin he went through
this program now he's really empowered
you know and he's able to you know
diffuse a situation you know through
verbally or also now if things you know
get yeah and and you know what it is is
a lot of people say well one week come
on how is that possible well I can tell
you how it's possible we had to
reprogram Austin in that sense that he
was programmed from a very young age and
and and this is a result of society his
parents and his family to believe that
you cannot be firm confident powerful
and strong and outspoken while at the
same time be respectful courteous humble
loving caring individual he thought
those two were mutually exclusive
they're not we taught him to say no you
can be respectful humble courteous and
still be firm confident strong and
assertive with yourself that's what we
change in a week this kid is 5'11 210
lbs he's a big boy and very athletic you
know what I'm saying very cool kid we
met him as was1 we hung out with him all
week what he didn't believe was he could
be both once we showed him some
techniques nonviolent Jiu-Jitsu and we
convinced him through these techniques
in our connection that he could do
whatever he wants with his with his
strength it changed everything he went
home knowing that he's allowed to assert
himself which he never had permission to
do that yeah amazing amazing let let's
go uh a little bit into how important is
it when you watch we've all watched
Karate Kid wax on right hand wax off
left hand yeah mayagi very you see
really he taught Daniel Su some some
really good ethics and some uh work
discipline good character he was really
breeding him then you got kotak
Kai kill kill kill crazy you know and we
see that in the martial arts world we
see like we've gone away from Integrity
good character when you come in for
instance to our on the wall you see the
best among you are those who have the
best character the Best Manners how
important is this to in in in to be a
complete martial artist well it's huge
because you
know how important is it for a police
officer to have integrity you give a
police officer a gun a baton and a taser
and you say go enforce the law if that
police officer has those tools and those
weapons and does not have the Integrity
to the equal degree you're you're
putting out now a very dangerous
individual to society and martial arts
the exact same thing we talk about oh
you know my hands are registered weapons
in 48 states and Elite the weapon and
blah blah blah I have tools that can do
some serious damage and we give students
those tools but we make sure at the same
time to give the Integrity the the
humility and the the knowledge of when
they are allowed to be used and to what
degree and uh and and how they have to
control their their ultimately how they
use these weapons very important I was
going to throw this in earlier because
you mentioned someone when you talk to
him about training they said I'm a love
not a fighter now another one that I've
heard how do you answer this when you
you're really excited to get someone to
come and experience this so now you
start talking to him and said look man
if someone says something to me I'll
just take out my gun I'll just blast
them yeah yes it's pretty common it's
pretty common I'm all set I know what do
you say to this where's your gun right
now you got it on you they go no not
right now I said okay you're screwed
then you know what are you going to do
so the bottom line is you don't always
have a gun with you number one this is
the easy answer number two is not every
situation warrants shooting someone in
the face you know what I'm saying like
you like I said the drunk uncle
situation or you know an ex-boyfriend or
the liability that comes with hurting
someone beyond the Call of Duty we don't
even want to go that route but the point
is everyone would like to have the
ability to defend themselves against a
giant with nothing but their bare hands
anyone who says otherwise is lying to
you now if that's the truth then why
aren't they embarking on the journey
fear of the unknown and people out there
who think think jiujitsu might be for
them and are fascinated by these
discussions but have not made moves in
that direction what you have to do is
check out gracieuniversity.com we
created this website specifically for
people who either a don't live near a
qualified Academy like the red zic
Brothers here in Chicago or the Gracie
Academy in Torrance or any one of our
certified training centers a they live
too far from a school or B they live
really close to a school but they're too
nervous about what's going to go on in
the school when they get there so you go
to graci university you watch the first
five lessons for free
and you get to see what Jiu-Jitsu is and
how the learning takes place and if you
love what you see online you can either
learn there or come visit my friends
here and embark on the journey with
another with an entire group of
like-minded people who are also on that
path to Jiu-Jitsu Mastery and Personal
Mastery at the same time we're going to
be right back with one more session here
with Henner Gracie few more questions
and we might even get you to do a little
breakdown how come on bro we'll be right
back here on the dean show
is your boss driving you crazy are you
just living from paycheck to paycheck
party to
party and everything is just getting
tiring it's getting played out and
you're asking yourself what's this all
about what's the purpose many people
don't reflect on why am I here you're
born to die and then what do you got in
between it's a big drama some days are
good some days are bad some days you're
sick some days you're sad we not we
might not make it to 855 years old we
might not make it till tomorrow and this
is something that we need to think about
the lights will go on after the party
and the party will end and you will be
alone and you will have to be
accountable for everything you've done
life is not all about just chasing that
man or woman or that good time it's not
all about the baseball game and the
basketball game and chasing a position
and getting a lot of wealth and money
there's more to this life and it's up to
you to be sincere enough within yourself
and to want to know more what's the
purpose what's it all about life is it
simple to understand Islam means
submission look at the word submission
not to yourself not to your desires not
to anyone or anything because at the end
of the day you get something you always
want more you get some weed you want
more you get some drugs you want harder
drugs you get a girl you want a nicer
girl you get a car you want a nicer car
you get house want a nicer house we got
so many
pressures by enslaving yourself
worshiping God loving God but submission
to the one who created you and by
worshiping God and seeking his pleasure
you get pleased and you enter
Paradise God bless

something yeah exactly you police or you
fight which one you want he said man you
know he said I think he said call the
police cuz he didn't want I think he
found out who he was dealing with but
the reality was that's how things were
done back in the days it was you know
you have a disagreement you you bump
into my car in traffic okay get out you
want to call the police or you want to
fight right now in other words
everything was set up with the fight
back then it was so amazing and I kind
of part of me wishes I was born during
that era because um that would be give a
chance to practice your techniques in
real situations but the other part of me
likes America where nobody fights for
dumb reasons for the most part and
everything is you know Humane over here
what about Hixon talk to us just a
little bit about Hixon yeah Uncle Hixon
is is you know one of the most uh
legendary and uh and accomplished
members of the family in terms of
fighting and you know hixon's amazing
because he was not only given the the
technique of Grand Master alio but he
was also gifted with a very naturally uh
strong physique and uh and as a result
he was able to do with jiu-jitsu what uh
what most you know skinny unathletic
individuals couldn't do um and add add a
little bit of physical athleticism to it
and because of that it almost like
multiply his efficiency times 10 and
because of that he was able to you know
remain undefeated and have some an
amazing career and be a good
exemplification of what Jutsu can do you
know for for for a person we talked a
little bit about bullying and people can
go to your University and get your DVDs
and really encourage people to do that
and it's going to really help them to
prevent their children from being the
victims tomorrow Empower them and we
want to talk about you know a lot of
people nowadays are sitting on the couch
becoming couch potatoes really
motivating him through this program to
get involved in martial arts
specifically Gracie Brazilian Jitsu and
also dieting is so important it is you
both you need both you know you can be
on a diet and you can still be on the
couch and you're not going to go
anywhere or you can get on a great jju
training regimen and and and not have a
good diet and you'll still you know not
get in the shape you want so it's
amazing package to be able to embark on
the JSU Journey if you're at home get on
gracieuniversity.com and start those
lessons and literally people are doing
it in their living rooms on some carpet
with a brother sister mother brother
father husband at home um you know and
making it happen where in addition to
that though you have to have you know a
conscious and awareness about what
you're putting in your body you know my
grandfather always said that people die
through their mouths you know through
what you eat or don't eat and uh and and
the Gracie diet is something my family's
been you know perfecting now for 80
years started by Carlos Gracie U's older
brother my great uncle uh and the Gracie
diet is a food combination diet to help
facilitate digestion to to you know
ultimately optimize Health Vitality
energy and and and reserve the greatest
amount of energy for Jiu-Jitsu practice
that was the original intent back in the
1930s and 40s was to create a diet that
would make sure that members of the
family were always optimally you know
healthy and as a result could fight
anyone on a moment's notice when they
either break into the house or they
knock on the door we have to be ready to
get down yeah amazing amazing you for
more on that you can go to grac diet.com
gra diet.com tell us now you're also
known for doing after some of these
major fights a breakdown not a break
dance but a breakdown a breakdown of the
fights can can you do one for us let's
do Gracie breakdown what fight we got we
got a fight we're going to go right now
to the clip hey you started it man
making me look like a jerk at the max
well that's what you
are what did you say you heard me get
out of my face and what if I don't punk
then I'll just have to make you punk
here I am here I am expecting some UFC
fight and you guys are playing Saved by
the Bell Zack Slater and uh and Zack
Morris can you break it down H can you
break it down I can break it down as
much as I'd like to um break down real
fights um we we we'll Pretend This one
is real and and of course there's a lot
going on here but initially when this is
how fight start right there's this aggro
energy and we call it combative energy
every interaction has a degree of
combative energy ours is zero right now
when you have a friend in a calm setting
but if you were you know if someone came
in here and was drunk and was acting a
little ridiculous it would be like 50%
you know combative energy even though we
weren't fighting he still is aggressing
you know creating some negative energy
and in a situation like this with this
disagreement both people agree that they
disagree and they're you know they're
getting physical they're they're showing
that that aggressive body posture the
first thing you want to try to do is
diffuse that through hey my friend I'm
sorry you have to step back and
ultimately any fight can be avoided if
you avoid ego and you avoid
alcohol
99.999% of fights that were going to
happen can be avoided that's the reality
so in this situation if they would check
their Eagles a little bit and calm down
that would be the best thing to do
however if the fight's going to go down
you want to end it as quickly as
possible and you want to end it without
causing any permanent damage so as soon
as someone pushes you and puts their
hands on your chest and shoves you back
they create an opportunity for a
standing arm lock which allows you to
immobilize them very quickly and not
have to go any further into the fight
and uh and if that doesn't work then you
can stand spin the around push and pull
on their shoulders create a quick whip
around in which you can catch a standing
red choke and it's so effective that
they have no choice either they take
either they tap or they take a nap
amazing amazing I like what you said I
mean look humbleness good character
usually this is the best self-defense
having a good attitude ego is contained
self-defense against yourself yes check
yourself you know what I'm saying before
you wreck yourself yes I'd like to thank
you tell our audience again how they can
hook up with you and how they can learn
if they're not actually at
yes my friends out there if you're
interested go check out
gracieuniversity.com we have a five days
free you check out all the lessons the
whole curriculum and it's really amazing
actually and if you have kids and you
know you're interested in in giving them
that confidence check out Gracie
kids.com and the same thing the
curriculum is online you can have it on
DVD or you can check it out on your
phone or mobile device and it's truly
remarkable because besides the
confidence the self-defense and the
techniques that your child will gain the
bonding time between parent and child is
something that we've been you know we've
to be one of the most unique benefits of
this at home training program because we
teach the parent how to teach their
child and in doing that every single day
for 10 15 minutes a day in the household
you really you really connect in a way
that you don't get when you're just
doing homework or just cooking their
dinner or helping them tie their shoes
it goes to a much deeper level and uh
and any child can do this there's no
physical prerequisite and and it's
guaranteed to change their life forever
you know a child with confidence and a
child without confidence are two
different children so we just hope to
help as many families as possible give
their children the the the greatest
Advantage possible you know from the
get-go and and head in the right
direction I'd like to thank you and
