A funny story he told was being able to utilize his jiu-jitsu prowess on the streets at a night club when a rude gentleman decided to berate a young lady that was attending the bar.
But let us start with Flanery stating, “I don’t support fighting, but I’ll be the first to tell you, everybody should have compassions, but you should be ready to have zero compassion at the drop of a hat should it become necessary,” Flanery told The UG Podcast.
When push literally came to shove however, the man who played Connor MacManus in The Boondock Saints let his BJJ take over in full Gracie form.
“Recently, Sean Apperson who I came up through the ranks with, who is a black belt in judo and a black belt in BJJ at Paragon. He was working a door and I think we were both brown belts at the time. A guy came to the door and me and a bunch of students were on the inside,” Flanery said. “Everybody was scattered out with different chicks. This guy walks up and he says, ‘oh, so is that your husband?’ and she goes, “no.” So he says, ‘Oh so you’re a fucking whore then?’ And I said whoa, you don’t talk to her like that. He said, ‘No, I was talking to her outside and she said she was married. So she’s talking to you and you’re not her husband…’ Anyways, push came to shove and the guy started approaching me with his hands out and I literally just grabbed his collar. I mean, with my left hand, four fingers in, thumb out and I grabbed the right side of his collar and as he came in, my right hand went in and I did a basic push choke. I did a basic push choke on this guy as he was closing the distance. I held him with two locked arms, I mean Gracie’s in action 101 man. Any jiu-jitsu guy would weave his arm in, out and around and maybe shoulder lock him. Oh yeah, I push choked this guy and you could see him panic and he started to swing and scratch at my face. I walked him all the way to the floor until he gurgled. You have no idea what you can do to an untrained person. Here’s the cracker on this story – this guy went to the floor and three of his buddies jumped up, so the bouncers separated everybody and then I realized this guy was at a table with like 15 guys...
*Our apologies for the audio quality on this episode. We had some last minute technical difficulties. Also Sean was gracious to join us on the 4th of July and was only available via his cell phone.
