Clearly, there are better ways.  I ran across this video and I think that anyone who is SERIOUS (see, I was so serious, I risked pinky trauma by reaching over to the caps lock) about self defense should watch this video… TWICE!!!1!!1!111!

    whew!
    before recognizing that man from star trek, I thought it was serious!

    LOL

    Hehe. Nothing about that video is serious, although what makes it funny is that I’ve seen “self defense” videos on YouTube that are almost as bad! :D

    So have YOU tried the, “nice gi, man” approach???

    Linda, that’s my bread and butter. My opponent attacks, I counter and then say, “Hey. What kind of deodorant are you weraing? Smells great!” Then, in the moment of confusion that inevitably follows… BAM!

    This video is just amazing, but just so you know the video you’ve got online is actually the short version and there is more! Hunt the longer version out at all costs.

    As for its application in BJJ, the deodorant trick is always a winner with me.

    I think the reason why someone has split the two clips is that if you were to actually watch both back to back, then you might die from laughter.
