How to Jiu Jitsu - Episode 7: United Airlines Drag Defense by Rener and Ryron Gracie
So I'm sure by now that everyone has seen the United Airlines video of dragging the doctor off the plane...
If you haven't I'll link the full video below. Be sure to check it out so that you know what this is about. However, since it's super viral online right now, I doubt many have missed it.
Rener and Ryon Gracie are two brothers that own GracieUniversity.com. This is somewhat of a controversial site in jiu jitsu, because many in the Gracie family, including Royce Gracie bashed the young brothers for teaching the techniques online, and even giving out a blue belt rank if they send in video of the techniques to be reviewed. They offer one of the most entertaining and informative YouTube channels online, Gracie Breakdown. They break down many UFC, mma fights, and other online viral videos of fights and show the jiu jitsu aspect of them. I personally own their Gracie Combatives DVD set and it is a staple for any new jiu jitsu practitioner.
In the latest episode of Gracie Breakdown, the brothers make a tongue in cheek video showing different defense when being dragged on the ground. They also have a special offer in the YouTube description: First 5 online Gracie Jiu-jitsu lessons free for 7 days only! That means you can go learn the first technique lessons for free. This is beyond valuable for anyone even considering learning self-defense and jiu jitsu. Trust me, you will be learning most of what new students learn in class as white belts through these videos.
And here is the latest video showing what to do when United Airlines tries to drag you off of a plane :)
This is very smart marketing, and in skinny aisles it may be difficult to pull off some of what you see. However, when being dragged on the ground anywhere in real life, this could save your life. So I hope you enjoyed this video. I hope you also check out what they offer for FREE. You may become a subscriber there!
