Have you ever watched Keanu Reeves in the “John Wick” series, effortlessly taking down his enemies using a combination of tactical gunplay and deadly Jiu-Jitsu moves? Ever wondered about the secrets behind those cinematic martial arts? You’re in luck, because here at BGC Jiu-Jitsu, we’ve analyzed and broken down some of the most iconic scenes. Learn how to wield Jiu-Jitsu moves like John Wick himself!
John Wick, the ‘Baba Yaga’ of the criminal underworld, relies heavily on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), among other martial arts. BJJ is a combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting, a perfect fit for John Wick’s close-quarters combat style.
In the John Wick series, the titular character showcases a variety of classic BJJ moves, from arm-bars to triangle chokes. These aren’t just flashy film choreography; they are legitimate, effective techniques used in real-life self-defense and competitive martial arts.
One iconic scene in “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” sees Wick using a classic Jiu-Jitsu move, the ‘arm drag’, to overcome his foes. The arm drag is a fundamental technique in BJJ that can be used to off-balance an opponent and secure a dominant position.
At BGC Jiu-Jitsu, we teach these very moves that you see Wick execute on-screen. Our highly experienced instructors can guide you through the intricacies of the arm drag, the precision of the triangle choke, and the devastating efficiency of the arm-bar.
But it’s not just about learning the moves. To truly embrace the John Wick-style Jiu-Jitsu, you need to understand the principles that underpin the art. It’s about leveraging your opponent’s strength against them, maintaining control, and knowing when to strike and when to defend.
Whether you’re a fan of the films, a martial arts enthusiast, or someone looking to learn self-defense, BGC Jiu-Jitsu has something for you. Our classes cater to all skill levels, from absolute beginners to seasoned martial artists.
