Ever since I've started jiu jitsu i've noticed super fast relexes. Jiu jitsu relex, or jiu-flex for short.

One of my experiences is almost getting broadsided by a big rig that was fish tailing. I quickly downshifted and zoomed to my left getting the heck out of harms way.

Another instance was a 2x4 leaning on a wall that fell as we were walking by. I quickly grabbed behind my friends back and caught the 2x4 before it hit us. He was like "I didn't even see that!"... I said, "nor did I"..

That's jiu-flex.. Come on people I know you have experienced soething along these lines! Let's hear it!

I dunno if it fits your definition of jiu-flex but every now and then I catch myself wanting to pronounce words that start with "R" as if it were an "H" (using my best Renato impression of course).

Jiu-flex thinking. Improv works well too. I don't know whether to say De La Riva guard or De La Hiva guard when Braulio Estima pronounces it De La Riva.

+1 ever since I saw the video where he said Joe Hogan.

To Ricks question - I like to practice that reflex by catching stuff that drops or I drop. Its always nice when someone is there to see you do it. I cant call it a Jiu-Flex though because I started as a striker first, if that makes sense.

Thanks Sean. Yup striking will give those types of reflexes. But I think wing chung reflexes is more in like to the face to face hand fighting while in butterfly or the defense to a submission... Waiting for that perfect opportunity to escape because they turned their hip just a tad.

Heck combine your striking reflexes with your jits reflex and watch how alert you become.

Re-dragging a re-drag of your own arm-drag attempt over and over again until you roll of the mat. I see theres all kinds of Jiu-flexes to power-up.

It's pronounced De La "Hiva" guard - that's how the guy who invented it says his name.

I find that when friends push me, or jokingly try to kick my feet out, I automatically shift my hips as if I were on top trying to stop a sweep. Often, without knowing what I'm doing, I end up shifting the momentum into them, dropping them to the floor.

Now, if I drop my wallet, and use a BJJ move to catch it before it falls, would that be Jew-flex? (I'm Jewish, this joke is ok, don't worry)

I have always had moments like that even before Jiu Jitsu, But I always called it my inner Ninja. Like if a glass falls off a counter and I reach out to catch it before it breaks or something along those lines.
