Aside from punches, encircling the neck in either a #headlock or guillotine is a very common behavior in a fight. I’m very lucky that I have friends and coworkers to let me practice some defenses and counters with the gear on (an additional 20lbs / 9kgs). Torso flexion is much more difficult. Keeping the back of my belt clear is much nicer on my lower back, particularly if I am stuck underneath someone. Day by day. 🙏🏽🥋🤙🏽 #jiujitsuisnotacrime #police #graciesurvivaltactics #selfdefense #jiujitsu #fitness #throwback #outreach #aloha #oahugrown #aiea #trainweeklyorfightweakly
