CarJitsu

[sensei8]

I must’ve been living under a rock to have never heard of CarJitsu let alone them having a Championship events.

I saw CarJitsu Championship this morning while surfing on my TV on the Stadium Stream Channel.

Here’s what I know about this unusual and unique sport…

Carjitsu is a competitive grappling sport that takes place inside a vehicle. The sport was created by Vik Mikheev, a Russian graduate student at Kansas State University who is a black belt in Brazilian jiujitsu and judo. The goal of the sport is to submit your opponent by choking them or forcing them to extend a limb. If the match is too close, points are awarded for dominant positions, such as back control or top position.

Combatants appear to be from varying grappling experiences and backgrounds. 

Matches are 3 minutes long and 1 round. The car they grapple in is a Toyota Sienna. Poor car takes a beating as well.

Makes a lot of sense because one never knows when they’ll have to defend themselves inside of a car.

The network seems to be PLN, Pro League Network.

Has anyone been following this sport and if so perhaps can give us more information and details.

That sounds interesting, for sure.  Makes me think of the scene in Deadpool & Wolverine where they fight in a Honda Odyssey.

Me too, Ken

Years ago we had a new student come in and ask if we knew any self-defense techniques against a drive by shooting.  If I had known about CarJitsu I would have recommend he go train over there.

I'm curious as to what he thought would be your answer concerning a drive-by.

I don't know, I think the guy was a nut.  He only lasted about two weeks then we never saw him again.  Everyone thought he was weird.
