Drunk, Meet Jiu-Jitsu Expert

Apparently, back in December, Ryan Hall was enjoying dinner in the company of friends when a drunk (and stupid) man approached the table requesting a lighter. After informing him the table was comprised of non-smokers, the man became enraged, demonstrating violent behavior and directly threatening Ryan Hall. The problem for the drunk? Ryan Hall is a Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt and is one of the most competitively successful American-born Jiu-Jitsu players to date and is widely regarded as one of the best lightweight submission grapplers in the world. Oops. He has over 300 victories in competition (over 275 via submission), so you can see where this is going to go.

I will say though, he showed remarkable poise to not just murder this moron. No punches are even thrown. Fun stuff. The guys should send him and his buddies a thank you card.

"This video displays the occurrence in its entirety, to show exactly how Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can be used in self-defense as a means to control and subdue an opponent. Without a single punch thrown, the opponent is first controlled, and in a second encounter choked unconscious as a means to end the confrontation."
