Did Police "Choke" NY Man to Death? - Gracie Breakdown (Viewer Discretion Advised)
BJPENN.COM News - July 23, 2014
On July 17, 2014, Eric Garner (6′ 4″ – 350 lbs) died immediately after an altercation with officers of the New York Police Department regarding the selling of un-taxed cigarettes. The incident was caught on video, and during the altercation one of the officers applied a neck restraint to control Mr. Garner and get him to the ground. Although the mainstream media has clung onto the idea that the “choke-hold” is what caused my Garner’s death, Ryron and Rener offer their own opinions on the incident based on their experience as life-long jiu-jitsu practitioners and lead defensive tactics instructors of the Gracie Survival Tactics (GST) program for law enforcement. The Gracie brothers also discuss the challenges that arise when arresting subjects with pre-existing medical conditions and demonstrate some of the GST techniques that enable officers to control and arrest unruly subjects with the least amount of force possible. In the video Rener references the findings of many studies on the use of the Vascular Neck Restraint in law enforcement, and here is the most in-depth studies on the subject conducted by the Canadian Police Research Center http://media.wix.com/ugd/89d384_9a7cb…

Earlier today Joe Rogan brought Rickson Gracie onto the Joe Rogan Experience as his guest for the episode. After the show however Eddie Bravo, who is a regular face for those who watch the Joe Rogan Experience, approached Rickson to talk to him about his style of JiuJitsu, 10th Planet JiuJitsu. For those who don’t understand what a groundbreaking moment this is for JiuJitsu, let me explain. Rickson Gracie, the son of Helio Gracie, is the ‘head honcho’ of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in today’s time. Eddie Bravo on the other hand, has been on the receiving end of harsh criticism for his unorthodox style of Jiu-Jitsu, which doesn’t use the traditional Gi. Bravo calls his style “10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu”. Eddie Bravo basically invented a guard that he adapted for Jiu-Jitsu in MMA called the ‘Rubber Guard’.
