YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMost people think of Brazilian Jui-Jitsu (#BJJ) as a non-deadly means of self-defense, and imagine using such skills to defend against a non-deadly force attack.
There are, however, many techniques in BJJ that readily qualify as deadly force--because the definition of "deadly force" include not only force that can kill but also force that causes serious bodily injury.
The many joint locks in BJJ that can utterly destroy a joint certainly would qualify as deadly force if carried to completion. Of course, there ARE circumstances in which using BJJ as deadly defensive force IS lawful.
Today we share a video of a BJJ expert who successfully defends himself against an aggressor armed with a knife, and use that video as a platform to explore the circumstances in which the use of BJJ as deadly defensive force would be legally justified.
