Jiu Jitsu Global Federation

RICKSON GRACIE, JJGF and WAR TRIBE presents THE SELF.DEFENSE.UNIT

WHAT YOU GET FROM SELF.DEFENSE.UNIT

You will learn the powerful concepts and details refined over Rickson's forty years of fighting and teaching experience, distilled into self defense techniques, plus the invisible jiu-jitsu.

During this course, you will learn much more than how to defend against aggression. You will understand what the best strategy is for dealing with a given situation, and how to deal with the importance of balance, timing, leverage, connection etc.

You will see the importance of connecting with base, and where the best lever can be found for a given position. Every lesson in SDU is taught directly by Master Rickson Gracie.

Who are you?

NON-PRACTITIONERS

If you have never trained Jiu-Jitsu and want to discover a strength you never thought you had, want to become able to defend yourself, gain self-control and learn to be calm in critical situations, there's nothing better than learning the fundamentals of this martial art from someone who has spent his whole life understanding and perfecting it.

BEGINNERS

If you train Jiu-Jitsu, you're going to have the chance to learn how to deal with unpredictable situations that go beyond Jiu-Jitsu as a sport, and perfect your knowledge related to what Rickson believes is the key to efficiency in Jiu-Jitsu: base, leverage, weight distribution, strategy and timing.

TEACHERS AND ADVANCED PRACTITIONERS

Each practical lesson presents an in-depth video where Rickson teaches, for the first time in history, invisible Jiu-Jitsu. This video enables the teacher to teach each move to a student of any gender, age and physical capacity. And it clears up questions a more advanced practitioner may have about the most efficient way to execute the position.

MODULE 1 – INVISIBLE JIU-JITSU

In Module 1, you will find the first twenty techniques that Rickson teaches his students. He understands that familiarity and practice of this sequence are able to pave a solid route of personal evolution through BJJ. Defenses against the choke, headlock, collar grab and back grab, and the escape and control from the mount and from the back-take are demonstrated and explained with an unprecedented degree of simplicity. As are some classic finishes like the rear naked choke, the guillotine, the cross choke. The notion of distance, proper front-kick technique, the block and the clinch that made history in Japan are also explained.

MODULE 2 – ENTER THE WEAPONS

In Module 2, you will find defenses against the punch, shove, headlock, collar grab, grab, choke, guillotine and tackle. Submissions like the triangle and the armlock, and essential positions like the mount elbow escape, knee-on-belly and hook sweep. For the first time, you will see techniques against stabbing, blunt weapons and threat with firearm.

MODULE 3 – IMMERSION

In Module 3, Rickson teaches the standing guard pass, the kimura from guard, foot locks, armlocks and elbow locks from side control, the defense against the double nelson, and additional defenses against the headlock and the collar grab. How to defend against other types of attacks with blunt weapons, knives and firearms. How to escape side control with the elbow recovering guard, and how to escape the back-take with hooks.

MODULE 4 – THE GUARD

Master Rickson Gracie teaches the concepts that make the guard the heart of BJJ, and shows the secrets that will enable you to perform the main sweeps and finishes with the utmost effectiveness. Additionally, learn self-defense and submission.

"I am loving the Self.Defence.Unit. It's about the information being presented and the experience and wisdom behind it. Great stuff. I am a college professor myself and just a blue belt and I know how difficult it is to translate real world experience to a student who has little or no knowledge of the subject matter that I am an expert in. I'm grateful for what Grandmaster Rickson Gracie is doing with this program. Thank you so much!"
