Multiple BJJJ attackers

**FictionPimp** · Posted On: 3/09/2007 1:04pm

We do a drill for birthdays were the birthday boy is in the middle, we all walk around in a circle with the instructor standing off to the side. He selects people as they walk by, and at any time before they get around the circle they can attack the person in the middle. It starts with one, then 2, then 3, etc until you are overwhelmed and tapped out.

Very fun

That drill does sound fun but how do you manage to not end up in each others way? I would think multiple attackers would be more of a hinderence to the attackers then a threat to the defender.

P.S. I == Ultra-Newb so be gentle

The secret to the guy in the middle is to not get taken down. If he does get taken down then he is in a pool of deep ****, especially when we allow slaps. And yes, multiples can get in your way, but that's all part of the fun.

You didn't post the other pic!?!?!:evil7:

This was a joke thread on sherdog and MMA.tv by an old friend of mine, Danny.

He's in Thailand training and teaching. If you don't think MMA has an impact then consider this, he used to be Ashida Kim's rep for Aussie land. Now he does MT and BJJ. :shock:

When I did similar drills, we found that the way you can generally work best with multiple attackers is the strongest attacker ties the defender up and then the weaker comes in with some form of submission.
