Ten BJJ moves every cop should know...with a twist

The Ten Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Moves Every Police Officer Should Know

these probably have helped them tremendously even knowing only 10 moves!

So here's the twist, if you could only know 10 moves for a street encounter what would they be, they can be grappling or striking oriented.

for me it would be basic and frequent positions that you get stuck in.

1. Doublelegtakedown (good to know how to take it to the ground)

2. GnP (knowing how to throw elbows from on top)

3. Mount position

4. Knowing how to kimura the top man from guard position

5. RNC

6. Leglock ,easy to finish them off with after the double

7. Counter to the Headlock

8. Knowing how to keep opponent in the closed guard

9. Countering the shirt grab, with a wrist lock

10. Knowing how to close the distance and get to the clinch

From here the encounter could be finished like this easily:

Tackle them with a double and easily finish them with a leglock or mount them, throw some elbows, let them roll over and proceed to choke them out with a RnC.

So what are your ten moves in a street encounter?

One problem I see is the "throwing some elbows." If a law enforcement throws those elbows, he may get into a lot of trouble.

Pretty good list. As bushido_man pointed out, I wouldn't recommend the throwing elbows for LEOs. I would switch that out with knowing how to work side mount.

definitely. pretty much any type of security enforcement has a no strike policy, unless the situation is severe.

Also, I see an issue with the leg lock - not really an issue, but I disagree with it being a necessity, for a few reasons.

1. If I'm trying to restrain a guy - i.e. getting him cuffed - I can't work toward his wrists if I have to keep his leg locked.

2. a lot of people are just hard to leg lock. I am one of those people. You just will NOT leg lock me. A heel hook would work, but...

3. heel hooks are too dangerous. You often don't feel the pain at all until something has already been snapped. Not good.

[bushido_man96]

Good point on the leg lock. Not much point, unless you have back-up. Even though, the legs usually can just be pinned down.

I think there might have been some confusion in the original post as I apparently misunderstood it too. While I can't speak for bushido_man, I know my confusion came from this part:

I took that as saying if I was a police officer, what ten moves would I need to know.

My ten moves for a streetfight would be greatly different than one of a LEO (which I'll have to get to another time)

oh sorry...BUt if i was a policeman, bigger guns

[elbows_and_knees]

that was the impression I got as well. However, even if It were my own list, leg locks wouldn't be on it.

[BLueDevil]

I agree with the leg locks and striking, Judo throws would be at the top of my list. You could seriously confuse someone long enough to take care of the problem, officer or not.

If I wasnt an officer I would lear to sprawl and defend takedown attempts(you think your the only one who knows how to ground fight?)

I would also learn to control the distance with my jabs very well, and know how to use lateral footwork for those Oh-so-special windmill'ers

And I would work on my cardio in case I had to run the heck away from some behemoth
