A bunch of coworkers also train BJJ and they are adamant that they could beat an adult sized wolf in combat.. they say they would jump in its back and strangle it if it came down to it, I think they are nuts.
What do you think? What animal do you think you have a chance with? Are they delusional? Please roast
No, it's REALLY probable. I work with wolves, have been attacked by them, and break up fights with them (they're the worst, because they just circle back and re-attack once the fight is already broken up).
They are really no problem at all for an experience grappler to handle (ONE ON ONE!). Now getting attacked by two or more at once. . . .say goodbye.
I think you’re full of shit. I don’t think you’ve been attacked attacked. I think you’ve had a wolf who knows you snap at you, get kinda irritated, and show you his fangs. I don’t think a wolf has ever attacked you with the intent to kill and eat your body.
LOL clueless loser projecting. Project away, or open your mind to people who have done stuff and have experience that you don't.
P.S. the current wolf we have has major anti-social behavior problems, and I've been attacked and/or bitten by him several times, and utterly whooped his ass and choked or neutralized him. Sorry you can't fathom that. Eh...and also, pitbulls, particularly the already bread and trained specifically for fighting, are much, much worse. Wolf is a cake-walk compared to that. Take my word, or go find another lifelong grappler who also handles large canines and wolves for a hobby.
What technique(s) would you recommend against an attacking dog with a bite grip on another dog/person?
On another person is really easy (as opposed to your own arm).
If they have a collar on, there's a very easy "fist" choke where you grab the collar from the back of their neck, clench your fist, and lift/rotate hard. You can choke them unconscious in seconds this way.
Unfortunately, a lot of times they don't have a collar. Not the end of the world though, as you can go straight for a RNC, and use common sense to keep your head tucked back behind theirs so they can't catch your face. A guillotine also works well and effectively, but expect to get scratched up by their paws or if you've got love handles, to have them chewed on a bit ;) I've also wound up in some arm-triangle (from the side) positions, where they're a bit hairy to get into, but once you're there neither their mouth nor any of their paws can get you.
And seriously not seriously (but really), you can put your finger up their ass. This immediately makes almost any dog let go, and has worked each time I`ve seen (and laughed) at it. Some very small girls have broken up brutal fights with this. . . lol it's eh...not really for me though, but thought I'd share what works.
P.S. Especially with pitties, go immediately for a DEEP choke. They'll often not break their vice grip even if you're literally breaking wooden broomsticks over their head or kicking or elbowing them. Same with wolves, although they're easier to scare off (but they circle back and try to get your back if you're wrangling other dogs as well).
Lastly, if they're loose on you, generally keep VERY close to them (ha ha, same bjj principle). They're pretty useless anywhichway that way, and you just need to control/keep their mouth away from you. Every bad bite/attack that I´ve seen (with a trainer) is because the dog/wolf got to pick it's target from a distance.
Boof, that was only supposed to be a sentence or two, sorry!
Thanks for sharing! I went on an online journey to find this info after seeing a string of viral vids of pit bulls attacks and I was pretty let down. All people mentioned was lifting their hind legs or the oil check.
Side thought, have you dealt with coyotes?
I used to deal with coyotes occasionally in the (US) Mid West, but here in Europe (Spain) they don't exist. That being said, coyotes were never particularly problematic because they're actually pretty small and weak compared to pretty much all the other "scary" canines I've had to deal with. That being said, most coyote complaints were about them killing livestock, or needing to be caught. . . which is damn near impossible. They're really, really cautious of humans (lol rightfully so!).
p.s. and ya, a lot of places online they call any and all practical techniques to break up a dog fight (or defend yourself) "barbaric" or "cruel", etc., so they leave you with lifting their legs and oil checks. LOL, which is moronic because if a pitty is eating your friend's arm and you lift it's back legs, . . . .it's going to continue eating your friend's arm except with you awkwardly holding it's legs up in the air. Choke(s) all day everyday.
