Here are the 5 Beginner Jiu-Jitsu Techniques for Reality Based Self Defense
#1: Punch Defense using the concept of cover and enter. Learn how to defend against a haymaker punch and enter into grappling range with a simple framing concept that keeps you safe when entering into grappling range
#2: Learn the Jiu-Jitsu Takedown Osoto Gari from an overhook control. The Osoto Gari is one of the simplest and most effective jiu jitsu takedown techniques ever. You'll find it very easy to hit from overhook control.
#3: The standing Jiu-Jitsu Armbar technique that is an easy self-defense and combat jiu-jitsu submission technique. Yes, it is easy to sit for the arm bar, but in a life or death self defense situation, the ability to remain standing is vital.
#4: Side Control Escape. Side Control is one of the most difficult positions to escape from. Arguably it should be one of the first skill sets any new jiu jitsu practitioner learns.
#5 Getting back to your feet. This is an underutilized Jiu-Jitsu technique that applies to self-defense, Jiu-Jitsu training and MMA. If you can't get back to your feet efficiently, you will get a beating.
