Gunfight Illustrates the Difference Between Cover and Concealment
I have never seen a gunfight that is not scary, chaotic, and FAST. We show these at Active Self Protection to train our minds to make unknown situations known, and part of that is knowing what is cover and what is only concealment!

SELF DEFENSE: Punch Block Series with Professor Alan Merullo
http://bushidomma.net/
https://www.facebook.com/Bushido-Mixed-Martial-Arts-111559818883117/
In addition to being the co-founder of the Bushido MMA, Professor Alan Merullo is the head Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor and coach. His study of the martial arts started in 1992; beginning with Karate and then moving to Wing Chun Kung Fu with the intentions of finding a practical self-defense style. After a few years Alan felt as if he was a fairly well accomplished martial artist, well capable of self-defense. Around that time a friend invited Alan to his first Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class. It only took that one class for Alan to realize that he was missing the most important, yet most neglected aspect of a real confrontation. That missing link was apparent when he recognized that fights typically go into a clinch, or end up on the ground. Alan humbly accepted the fact that he could not only rely on punching and kicking for self defense while sparing with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu students, who had less than six months experience. Very excited about his new discovery Alan began practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that same week.
Alan is the only Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt instructor located in Portsmouth, Virginia ( one of very few in world to attain this high rank under the direction of Professor Saulo Ribeiro). Alan considers it a privilege to learn from the best and truly believes that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has not only helped him accomplish the goal of practical self defense, but also the pursuit of becoming a better person in general. Alan enjoys teaching and passing on this good information to anyone who wants to learn. Alan has had the privilege and honor to train and learn from many famous instructors such as: Saulo Ribeiro, Xande Ribeiro, Royler Gracie, Ryron Gracie, Kid Peligro, Chris Blanke, Pedro Sauer, Sylvio Bering, Alvero Berretto, Matt Serra, Frank Cucci, Joao Morais, and Kazeka Muniz. Alan has also recently earned his Brown Belt in Judo, under Sensei Alberto Cruz.

Nephew of the great master Relson Grancie Jean Vandesteen is responsible for from the Relson Gracie headquarter academy in Brazil and teaches us how to defend when the opponent tries to pass his guard stacking . To defend the position he makes grips on both sleeves and put a hook with his left leg under the right leg of your opponent.
After switch the hooks, now puts the hook with his right leg, turns changing base to the opponent and applies the mount position on the back of his opponent and hold the grips, so he can submission with kimura.

Concealed Carrier Turns the Tables on Armed Robbers
When would you have acted against these armed robbers? I think this South Carolina CWP holder did a great job of practicing Active Self Protection to keep himself and everyone in the barber shop safe!
News story of the armed robbers meeting effective resistance (with link to the surveillance video) available here: https://get-asp.com/zgps
What does this incident teach us about confronting armed robbers?
1. Keep your firearm on your person! Plenty of people keep a firearm stationed near them under the counter or on a desk or in the glove compartment of their car, but in the moment of need you can’t ever be sure that you can get to it if it’s not on your person. These armed robbers gave an opportunity that ONLY was accessible to someone whose firearm was on their person, ready to go. So keep your firearm on your person at all times.

This is Why You Carry With A Round in the Chamber! | Active Self Protection
If you want to start a “grab your popcorn” debate in the gun world, a good way to start is by talking about carrying with the chamber full (condition 1 for 1911 lovers) or empty. (condition 3) At Active Self Protection we believe that each person has to make that decision for themselves, but as for me and for what I teach, I believe that the best way is to keep the chamber full if possible. This video is why.
Why is chamber full a better defensive setup?
1. Chambering a round takes both hands. Everyone teaches chambering with both hands because that is the fastest way to do it, until some goofy holster makes the rounds again that is impractical and not helpful for concealed carry. If your support hand is engaged in a bad guy or holding a child or is injured in earning your draw or otherwise engaged, you’re out of luck. Sure, range masters will teach using the rear sights to hook on the edge of your boot or belt or whatever, but those are small targets and someone is stabbing you or bashing your head in.
There are four additional reasons why chamber full carry is preferred on our website, so head there for more: https://get-asp.com/hi9g

Mugger Wants Valuables, Gets Shot Instead
Would you have fought or just given up the jewelry? This “Best of ASP” video first was narrated on our website in November 2015. There are over 700 narrated defensive encounters on our Videos tab of our Facebook page…come see what you’ve missed!
I think this mugger got what he paid for, personally. Don’t think for a moment that you don’t need every bit of Active Self Protection you can muster in the moment that a mugger attacks you. This guy had it and it served him well.
Original video of the mugger getting his just desserts available here: https://get-asp.com/pve1
What do we learn here about fighting off a mugger?
1. There’s a well-worn joke that ATM stands for “Accessory To Mugging,” and it’s not far from the truth. The ATM is of course a likely place to be attacked because it is a transitional space. A mugger or armed robber can easily ambush you if your attention is engrossed in the machine or your phone, and they are built to allow for easy access and escape. When you’re at the ATM, be sure to be extra aware of what is going on around you. I even suggest standing with your back to the machine, or at least with your shoulders perpendicular to it so that you can constantly see what is happening around you!

Black Belt Mindset: Blue Belt Blues
Robin talks about the blue belt blues and how to get past them. It is common for jiu-jitsu practitioners to experience very big highs and lows at the beginning of their journey. Keep training through a slump and you will come out of it much better. Be encouraged when things are not going well because when everything comes in to focus again you will be much better.

Defense Against a 2-Hand Collar Grab | Seth Shamp
The problem with most martial arts (Including Many Jiu-Jitsu Programs) is that they only prepare for a fight after it’s already in progress.
But, many fights don’t just begin with punches or already on the ground. They begin standing with shoving and grabbing and if you are unprepared for this part of the conflict then you have to wait until it becomes more dangerous before your skills become applicable.
This is why the Complete Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Program focuses so much on the Standing Self Defense Portion.
Here is Professor Seth Shamp demonstrating how to deal when someone grabs your shirt with both hands and how to get them to let go so we can get away.

Jiu-Jitsu 215 lb. Blue Belt tries to smash 170 lb Old Guy Black Belt
Head jiu-jitsu instructor at Dojo Americana/99 jiu-jitsu in Vista, Ca., Mark Hopkins, is a 53 year-old black belt at around 175 lbs. In any given day a larger, stronger and younger guy will walk in my door and want to roll with me. I’ve rolled with guys as large as 350 lbs. It’s no fun, especially if they have some skills. As an instructor, I have to roll with my students, no matter what size they are. I have to represent what jiu-jitsu is all about: a smaller guy defending and overcoming a larger and stronger guy. To do this takes technical skill. And that’s what I have developed over the past 20+ years.
Now Harry isn’t super big, but he outweighs me by almost 50 lbs and is very fit and strong, and he has some grappling skill. In this video I narrate what is going through my mind as we roll. I hope this gives you, the viewer, some additional insight on what one is trying to achieve while rolling. Many beginners often misunderstand the nature of rolling. Many believe and assume while rolling, you must go 100% and go for top position. Although my takedowns are quite good for a jiujiteiro, I often play bottom position. Playing bottom position is the only way to develop a better guard and bottom game. And I feel this is where most people will lose or become defeated, while they are on the bottom.
Dojo Americana represents the NineNine team in San Diego North County. We are located in Vista and have 2 black belt instructors of different styles teaching on our mats, professor Mark Hopkins and Martin Figueroa.
