Principle 19: Isolation
Tactically containing one or more of your opponent’s limbs for your advantage.

Whether used for the finalization of a submission, the neutralization of your opponent’s defensive structure, or the impediment of movement, the Isolation Principle is about gaining a resource advantage through the restriction of mobility. All joint locks techniques require the targeted limb to be isolated and restricted from pressure releasing mobility. Precedingly, the Isolation Principle can be applied to neutralize a defending asset. Finally, the Isolation Principle can be used to control an opponent by restricting the mobility of the limb that might be used to actualize an escape.

Officer Jeff Muai of the Richland Police Department researched several defensive tactics programs before settling on GST as the optimal solution for his agency. Due to travel and budgetary constraints, he couldn’t get approved to do a live GST Level 1 in-person instructor course, so he decided to complete the course through the GST Level 1 online instructor certification program with one of his colleagues. In this review, he outlines his initial concerns with the online course, and then he shares what it was like to go the the live GST Level 2 course after graduating from the Level 1 program entirely online.

Principle 18: Depletion

Draining your opponent’s physical and mental energy using targeted actions and connections.

In a fight, the rate of energy depletion is often the key deciding factor in determining who will win and who will lose. Consequently, your main objective should always be to burn energy at a slower rate than your opponent, and there are two ways to accomplish this: 1) invest in techniques that burn less of your energy, 2) invest in techniques that burn more your opponent’s energy. Once mastered, the Depletion Principle can be applied from every position in the fight (offensive and defensive) to drain your opponent’s energy and break their spirit, one frustrating connection at a time.

Principles 16: Posture
Neutralizing a technique by disrupting the optimal posture from which it is applied.

Whether standing or on the ground, on top or on bottom, on offense or on defense, there is always an optimal body position from which to initiate a particular technique. Like the Distance Principle (where we disrupt distance) and the Clock Principle (where we disrupt timing), the Posture Principle disrupts the opponent’s optimal body position to drastically reduce their ability to execute the technique. Ultimately, our goal is always to apply our strongest postures against our opponent’s weakest postures.

Surrender Feigning surrender so that your opponent let’s their guard down.
In combat, most of our actions are predicated on what we perceive to be the mental state of our opponent. If our opponent is over aggressive and over-confident, we will often take a defensive posture and mindset. Alternatively, when our opponent is tired, exhausted or weakened, we are more likely to make our advances. With this in mind, it’s easy to see how feigning compliance or surrender in a specific situation can lure your opponent into making a move that you are not only anticipating, but prepared to capitalize on. Like a magician’s use of misdirection, your success with this principle lies in your understanding of human nature, and the ability to disguise your true intentions. On offense, this principle is often used to overcome a strong focused defense by luring the opponent into a false sense of security. On defense, this principle can be used to conserve energy and create escape opportunities when movement is heavily contested.

The final 8 principles are released on October 1 (Helio Gracie Day). 🙏🏼

The Uintah County Sheriffs Office in Vernal, Utah is sponsoring a 2-day Women’s Self-defense Super Seminar taught by Eve and Rener Gracie on October 1-2, 2021. Since the Sherif is cover over 80% of the cost, the total cost to participate is only $50 per person! This is the first time the Gracies have taught a women’s-only seminar of this length, and women will be traveling from all over the country to attend, so we expect it to sell out very fast.

Mark Anthony Gonzales was on his way to his BJJ school in Texas when he noticed a police having difficulty enacting an arrest in his city. He got out to help, while his wife recorded (for liability purposes), and the video of his BJJ-laced intervention went viral with over 20 million views in 48 hours. In this interview Mark shares details of his first-hand experience with Rener.

Also, the cop in the video has graciously accepted our offer to attend the GST course!

Yesterday, I encouraged people (especially those with BJJ experience) to intervene to help police officers in need of help. After speaking to several officers and getting their feedback we came up with some basic guidelines that should be considered before lending a helping hand:

1. ASSESS the threat to the officer and to yourself. Is your help really needed? Is it even safe for you to intervene?

2. ASK permission to help and identify yourself to the officer. An officer has no way of knowing which team you’re on, so let them know you’re there to help and wait for explicit permission to enter.

3. ACKNOWLEDGE the risks of intervention. There are safety risks and there are legal risks. Each jurisdiction has different laws regarding civilian intervention so make sure you know yours.

Principle 15: Fork
Creating positional dilemmas that force your opponent to choose how they lose.

A forked position creates two or more “prongs” of opportunity. The Fork Principle forces your opponent to choose between a submission, sweep, takedown, pass, reversal, positional advancement, or any combination thereof. The River and Fork Principles are similar, but one is reactive and other is pro-active. The River Principle applies to an open, free flowing situation in which you react to obstacles by flowing around them. The Fork Principle actively limits your opponent’s options causing them to flow into positions in which you will determine the outcome.

Principle 14: Tension
Capitalizing on the on the offensive and defensive opportunities enabled by tension.

The tension between two connection points creates vulnerabilities and opportunities. From breaking your opponent’s grip to breaking your opponent’s balance, your understanding of this principle will determine whether tension is an asset or a liability in your jiu-jitsu.
