WNY MMA hosts a free women’s self-defense class the first Sunday of every month. In this video, Coach Doug shows two different wrist breaks – one when an attacker grabs you with a same-side grip and the other when they grab you with a cross-grip.
Rocking and Technical Standup
Being able to stand up properly and escape is important. In this video, learn the proper way to follow an attacker who has knocked you to the ground and then to stand up so that you can keep them at a distance while you get up and then escape. This standup can be used in a variety of situations and is easy to practice at home on your own.
This video comes from our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Blue Belt Curriculum. Black Belt Mike Dauenhauer breaks down the technique so you can practice with a partner or on your own.
Free Women’s Self-defense Class
This week’s self-defense technique of the week comes right from WNY MMA’s first Free Women’s Self-defense Class, which we now host the first Sunday of the month from 12-2PM.
One of the scariest self-defense positions to end up in is having someone sitting on top of you. In this video, Coach Doug shows the class a tried and true escape.
