We don’t know what exactly happened but what we can see is an attacker going for some BJJ guy.
After the first few seconds, he figured out that was a very bad idea as he was taken down, controlled and submitted.
If you are interested in what BJJ is like for street fighting when compared to other martial arts HERE is an article for you
Let’s assume you’re attacked in the street, in the bus, train or in any other place and all you want to do is to finish the fight with no consequences for anyone and go home.
Isn’t that what we all want in a street fight? Well, even if it isn’t it should be.
When you’re training Jiu Jitsu the last thing you want to do is to hurt someone right? So I think we should all have Demian Maia as an example. He’s always saying that he doesn’t want to hurt his opponents. He just wants to win. So should be in any type of fighting we enter.
In this video we have 3 extremely effective chokes for you to end your street fight as fast as possible. Without really hurting anyone.

Rener Gracie, one of the most popular practitioners of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in the world right now sharing some opinion on his view of sports Jiu-Jitsu vs street fight.
Rener, like many other in BJJ Community wonders how modern Jiu Jitsu and training people for a competition can help in a real street fight? Of course, it helps a lot. You are working under pressure, you’re learning under pressure and it’s all a huge plus but are you ready to take a punch? Or even better. What’s your reaction on punches and kicks? Are you ready to defend against punches and kicks? Are you sure you have a good distance manager that is needed for you to execute what you know?
“People learning sport are being confused into thinking that they’re getting ready for a fight, but they’re not,” warns Rener. “It’s possible today in the sport, in the Brazilian jiu-jitsu world, that you get a purple belt or more, and go out in a fight and get beat up.”
As I mentioned earlier Rener warns about the lack of punch defenses:
It’s simple. Guys training Sports Jiu-Jitsu are not used to take punches, not used to react on punches nor to defend em. And in a street fight, it can be a huge problem.
In this case, every one of you should be real and ask your self: “am I fully prepared for a street fight?”. No, you are not. You have a great chance of winning, you are more likely to win a fight then not but like everywhere there is always a chance of you losing a street fight no matter how good you are in a sports Jiu Jitsu and no matter what belt you have. Street has it’s own rules that you’re simply not used to follow.
Let’s hear what Rener have to say on Sports Jiu-Jitsu vs Street fighting.

Taken directly from one of my classes where we cover the guillotine defense.
This works. I’ve used it in competition before. It’s certainly handy to have in your arsenal.
The Von Flue Choke is also a fantastic albeit rate submission. This technique is a great set-up for it. Plus you get the pass.
This really is easy guys, take a look at the video, give it a try on the mat and let me know how it goes…
I love half guard. But you might notice if you also get into half guard a lot that sooner or later your training partners start to Kimura you!
We have done some videos on just that! However, with a bit of thought and some little tricks, you can turn that Kimura attempt into a back take. Guys – this is pretty straight forward
