Here's a helpful* video on how to defend yourself with jiu-jitsu the next time United Airlines tries to drag you off a plane

Published by Yahoo on Fri, 14 Apr 2017


The recent incident on a United Airlines airplane, in which a passenger was forcibly removed from his seat and dragged out of an over-booked plane, has prompted a reaction from pretty much everyone on the internet. Now, a pair of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belts'brothers Rener and Ryron Gracie'have added their expertise to the mix, posting a video that shows you how to fight off an attacker trying to drag you somewhere by the legs. SEE ALSO: 'Funny or Die' uses United's own commercial to blast the airline The video, while obviously satirical, actually shows real Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) moves which would mostdefinitely work in real life. BJJ focuses on self-defense and ground combat, so a situation in which someone has grabbed you and tries to drag you away somewhere is a very common training scenario in this martial art. In the video, the Gracies jokingly show a couple of self-defense possibilities at your disposal, ranging from taking down your attacker and running away, to putting them to sleep. Before we go further, let us reiterate an important point:The video is satire. Donot attempt these anywhere outside of your BJJ dojo. Trying to pull any of these moves against a police officer will likely get you tased or shot, and almost certainly arrested. The video is technically a part of the Gracie brothers' "GracieBreakdown" series, in which the two show how BJJ could be applied to a recent event, usually a mixed martial arts fight. As for United Airlines, well, the video is just another flag in a long, painful line of reminders that treating your customers horribly and failing to apologize will cause a lot of PR problems. [*Again, for the last time, this video is satire. Do not try to Jiu-jitsu your way out of anything on an airplane. It will not go well.] WATCH: Not again. Another story about a United passenger emerges'this one with handcuffs.
