Vini Aieta on self-defense, competitive BJJ and benefits the gentle art can bring to all

Gracie Tijuca instructor Vini Aieta talks about the benefits BJJ can give normal people, and the importance of practicing it daily. He explains how BJJ can improve your technique and the importance of self-defense, and teaches us a choke from guard. 

"Self-defense is paramount. But there comes a moment when things get mixed up. Both competitive BJJ and self-defense. Which in reality are one and the same. But there comes a moment when, after a few months that you're practicing, that you are fighting another guy who knows BJJ like you. So you start developing skills and reflex that also become a sort of self-defense. There isn't competitive BJJ and self-defense; they're the same. The strong BJJ fighter must have that outlook."
