The Punjabi Archivesrecent 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 airlineThe video, while obviously satirical, actually shows real Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) moves which would most definitelywork 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.
Do notattempt 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.]
