This 16 year old girl was challenged at the park by a group of boys.
It’s always best not to challenge people to a fight or match when you have no skills yourself. It’s kind of silly, but it sure is entertaining.
The girl in the video is Riley Breedlove, who trains at Ryan BJJ under Todd Ryan in Tulsa Oklahoma.
One of the boys can be heard saying “I don’t tap. I’ll go out before I tap.” And, so he did.
Riley has been training for a while I got into BJJ when I was about 7 or 8 because of my brother. He was being bullied on the (football) field about his size, so my parents thought Jiu Jitsu would help with the bullying and make him more athletic. The instructor dragged me on to the mats for me to try it. Naturally I just fell in love with it!
Fortunately the situation was a bit safer than it appears in the video One of them tried to (slam,) but I had a friend who also trains ‘refereeing’ the roll so that nobody got hurt.
Riley is a great example of the positive side of BJJ. We at Jiu Jitsu Times wish her the very best in her Jiu Jitsu Journey.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. Brazilian jiu-jitsu was formed from Kodokan Judo ground fighting fundamentals that were taught by a number of individuals including Takeo Yano, Mitsuyo Maeda and Soshihiro Satake.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu eventually came to be its own art through the experiments, practices, and adaptation of judo through Carlos and Hélio Gracie as well as other instructors who were students of Maeda, such as Luiz Franca.
BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using proper technique, leverage, and most notably, taking the fight to the ground, and then applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the opponent.
