if you don't know Ryan Hall, google him. dude is scary on the mat, and one of the best instructors out there, really makes sense to 'you' whether you are a white belt in BJJ, or black.

right after one of his seminars, the 50/50 team and some other instructors are eating a local join t when a guy rocks up asking for a light, they advise him they are non smokers.

it escalates from there

truly love how this was handled.

at the end of the clip, the guy and his friend rock back to the table, apologize and pay for their meals

Guy initiated the violence? :S

 

:blinks:

 

I thought all martial artists were taught to walk away from situation unless you absolutely have to defend yourself.

Hard to see whats goin on from the video. lol.

Could of escorted him a different way, pretty sure security/bouncers don't have a problem escorting drunk patrons from venues and don't need to tackle them or get them in any kind of choke hold.

 

Show off.

 

I'm a fan of BJJ and have done some myself

its fairly obvious to people who understand the game, what happened

firstly, you can't reason with a person in that condition, what we call, people with behavioural issues, mentally he wants an encounter, wants it to escalate.

Ryan spoke to him calmly throughout, hoping it might lower his aggression.

it didnt work

first encounter, the guy, after abusing them for a while, then throwing his jacket at them, and got in Ryan's face, so he took him down and mounted him, told him to calm down.

the guys own mate was the one with his foot on his neck. you can hear ryan asking him to remove his foot, while asking the guy mounted to calm down.

ryan lets him up, the dude's ego was bruised and still wouldnt go, ryan took his gear outside in a hope that would work.

at which point, Ryan, and TBH, anyone who has dealt with this situation before, can appreciate, Ryan escorts him outside, take his back and chokes him out, laying him on his side, and waits for him to wake up.

the police officer at the end, questioned everyone involved, and Ryan and his crew were allowed to return to finish their meal.

 

done some yourself mate? thats great. where at? i will probably know your coach

edit: melb west? John will's or one of the lesser known clubs down that way?

Would have to be one of Ryan's softer take downs.haha

 

 

So your base training is BJJ Zowie? Such an awesome art! I had to stop my taekwondo training due to a separated sternum and broken ribs from a downhill mountain bike accident.(4 years ago):( been meaning to get back into training just have to decide on what I want to train in. I'd be keen on getting back into taekwondo and further my training, but then again I'd even like to try something new.

 

Stu.

I would fully understand if Ryan had've beaten the living $h1t out of that guy & thrown him head-first out the door, he more than deserved it. Not a wise idea picking fights, really, you have NO IDEA who you could be picking a fight with. Having said that, that guy was so messed up he'd probably pick a fight with a lamp post & lose! :laff:

 

Having the skills is one thing, having the mental discipline to not use them unless absolutely necessary is another. Even when he did, even I could tell that he was barely exerting any effort in containing the aggressor & only did what he had to. Big respect for that! :y:

It is the preferred option, sometimes you can't just walk away. :no2: They'll just consider it a free hit the moment you turn your back.

totally agree guys..!

 

 

and Stu,thats a shame RE your TKD training, how are your knees?

as for my story, its a long and painful one, TBH.

i'd rather not bore you, especially on this thread, lol.

i will say, tho, that regardless of the years, i am an eternal white belt.

still a noob.

 

but yeah, I'm a true fan of the arts and always keen to chat about them, but not on a public forum so much
