To try and fill this void, I started doing some side training in BJJ and MMA, to learn new defensive tactics to combine with my Canryu skills. Over time, I developed a modernized, simplified approach to ground defense to cover the gap left by Professor Sylvain’s very open concept, one that was practical and adaptable for different body types that more closely fit with the self-protection tenets of our style. Having seen some of these defense methods, I was eventually asked by Steve Hiscoe Shihan several years ago to provide the foundation for an updated ground defense curriculum for our style.
Before you ask, no I do not have a black belt in BJJ, nor a competitive record in MMA. My goal in training in these arts was never to achieve ranks, but to learn what I needed to equip my students for self-protection against the realities of modern ground fighting. I’ve trained in jiu-jitsu for over 20 years and hold the rank of 4th degree in my style. Being a small woman, I’ve had to develop a set of defensive skills and tactics that make up for my disadvantages in size and strength. The ground defense system I’ve put together is designed with a “worst case scenario” mindset that is meant to be usable even if the attacker has a major size and strength advantage as most attacks don’t come from people who are smaller and weaker than you. That being said, I’ve also included variations in this book to address scenarios in which different body types affect the way a person can move.
