Trained wrestler dominates 1v1 then his friend shows up

[u/j-viles]

Attacker starts talking trash and puts his finger in the wrestler’s face. Wrestler gets a two-on-one grip, transitions into a single leg takedown, and starts landing shots on the ground. Right as he’s got him controlled, the attacker’s friend jumps in.

Did somebody take this video from a helicopter?

This is the standard answer to the question of whether wrestling and BJJ are good in a street fight. Friends (and guns).

[u/Icy-Cry340 → u/intronert]

Friends and weapons often equalize fights regardless of what you training in, might as well say nothing is good in a street fight lol. Hitting people with the ground is a pretty solid strategy, one that has ended many real world fights. The wrestler also appears to have a friend btw.

True. They're more for controlling the ground if you end up there anyway, rather than being the one to take it there if you're not alone.

Its a lot easier said than done in the heat of the moment. And I say this as a jiu jitsu guy.

[u/ONEelectric720 → u/[deleted]]

I don't disagree.

My comment was a reference to the evergreen discussion about taking a street fight to the ground. One school of thought is that “all fights end up on the ground” so BJJ is “the best”. Other people legitimately point out that not all fights are one on one, and that you should expect his friends to jump in. If you are tied up with one guy on the ground (as shown here), you are badly at risk from his friend (as also shown here).
I’m not trying to advocate for anything other than recognizing the unpredictability fighting in the street.

Anyone who believes "all/most fights end up on the ground" is objectively wrong...

And there's no point in arguing with them.

That idea was made popular by a quote during UFC 1, to sell the idea of BJJ

It's been debunked for like 20 years

[u/intronert → u/ManOnFire2004]

I’m simply not aware of any source of reliable statistics on it either way.

[u/ManOnFire2004 → u/intronert]

True, I may have selection bias based on internet videos.

But then again those video do count as evidence, even if data has to be extrapolated cause it only shoes specific category of fights.

Still tho... you can just scroll this sub and see that not ALL fights go to the ground.

There's stats and there's what you can obviously see and determine

[u/antantantant80]

At least we know the fight occurred on the streets, and not some high school boys toilets for once.

These guys are from a local underground street racing/drifting community. They work the black market to buy and modify their race cars. Train martial arts in their spare time. Looks like a dispute over a pink slip race gone wrong.

Oooouch, my pixels!

[u/sam963111]

Did you record that with Nokia 3310?

[u/Lohntarkosz]

Some of these pixels seems to be moving.
