Dirty Ground Fighting: Fannul Harb Jujitsu

Have you ever wondered what groundfighting would like without the rules of MMA? Brazilian Jujitsu is by far one the most formidable fighting arts ever invented!

With that said...

Everything has it's weaknesses!
Yes I said it...

A major weakness in Brazilian Jujitsu, aside from the fact that it's no good against multiple attackers is the way it's trained.
It becomes instinctive NOT TO DO THE THINGS ON THE GROUND THAT WOULD SAVE YOUR ASS IN A REAL SITUATION!
Rules that apply to MMA that don't exactly apply to true self-defense.

Call it a philosophical conflict...
In the octagon they're looking to prolong a fighter's career...

V.S.

In the streets with an attacker,
well,
we're definitely trying to shorten his career.

I did some ground grappling with a very skilled partner a few days ago, and saw numerous opportunities with striking and small joint manipulation. He demo'd a move on me and my immediate reaction was to break his wrist (which almost happened) What's scary to me is that he knew nothing about this stuff!

Much of today's MMA grappling comes from Pankration, Which literally means "ALL Power"...
Comprised of strikes and grappling... Many of today's illegal moves, were legal back in those days when gladiators armored up and battled.
Illegal moves Like:
Gouges
Fish hooks
Groin shots
Illegal Elbows
Endless chokes to name a few

In FHJ (Fannul Harb Jujitsu) Art of Combat fighting, everything is good. And it's trained at a tempo that fosters maximal learning and realism, with minimal injury. To get an idea of what this looks like,
