We do not focus on sport training but do believe it is an excellent way to put your skills to the test. We try to develop our students into a modern-day samurai as you can see we use Bushido the samurai code all over our website. Street fights don't need to go to the ground. In fact, it is best to stay on your feet in a street fight but that is not always the case in the street.
When you look at techniques like this one in the guard position where you are countering a knife attack you could think of all of the what-ifs that can come into play. Especially when a weapon like a knife comes out. This gift wrap technique is great but it will never be 100% effective because the knife can switch hands so fast. Yes, you will gain control of your opponent with the gift wrap but you might just get a knife in your ribs. When it comes to knife fighting know anytime the knife comes out you are going to get cut.
This is one reason why we talk about not going to the ground if all possible when it come to street self-defense. learning to stay on your feet and work your stand up Jujitsu as best as you can is what will keep you safer.
