One of my favorite things about Jiu-jitsu is the stand-up, self-defense, and weapons defenses. I like the sport, I like to watch, and I even like to participate in a small in-house degree, but I really like the standing techniques and weapons defenses.
Some may find them hokey, or unbelievable. They ALL are if left unpracticed.
A training partner of mine, a mentor really, did a very entertaining video of this very thing.
Check it out if you have a moment. Click the link I have provided below, if it pleases you.

I have done a bit of old SMAC (Stickfighting Methods And Counters) and STAB (Survival Tactics Against Blades) material in the older days when trained with SBG coaches. They were very good ideas... as with most stuff, it comes down to how and what to train.

Thank you for your response! I am very new to Jiu-jitsu, as in training in an organized sense, but we did these at my unit and similar techniques every Friday morning (almost every), for many years. I always enjoyed it very much. Currently, It is a part of my curriculum, which is linear and builds on itself.
I like using them for part of a warm-up or even a cool-down.

The main thing is introduce aliveness as soon as possible and implement tools that give more realistic feedback e.g. feltpen knives all the way to tazer knives etc...

We practice the whole Gracie Self Defense program so we do knives, sticks, guns and chairs.
I know it's not to everyone's liking but I really don't care. My students like it and so do I.
I also like to practice shooting long guns and pistols.

I used to train in Kali in Orlando, FL and Escrima in West Palm Beach, FL but I can't seem to find anything in my area since moving to Delaware. Maybe I'll look into that program.

As a student, I love it! I think a lot of us do.

I practice the elegant art of groveling on my knees when a person threatens me with a weapon and then the supplemental art of screaming and running away.

Here's my A-Game drilling sequence for when someone points a gun at me from close distance:
Using Gracie Situational Awareness methods, I distract him by looking into the distance over my opponent's L shoulder and asking "woah, what's that"? --->Pull DLR guard ---> Wrap opponent's t-shirt around R ankle, then behind his own R leg, setting up an effective Gracie Self-Defense worm guard ---> Transition to Reverse De La worm guard (the more authentic one) ---> Fake the Berimbolo to the left ---> Kiss of the Dragon through the legs, making sure to grab the wrist of the hand that is holding the gun ---> Snag a kimura grip and transition to crucifix ---> Finish with a wrist lock/ biceps slicer, effectively disarming my opponent whether he likes it or not, keeping everybody safe.
Pretty standard stuff, I know. But if you don't train for the STREETS then you aren't really training.

You are a neanderthal! Human rights violator! All he (assuming their gender) did was point a gun at you at close range, and you decided to basically turn him inside out! Punishment here clearly does not fit the crime, sir!

Yup, I mean, I needed to know the whole self defense system in order to receive my black belt, as well as have the grappling prowess, and teaching prowess. It can spark a whole other topic thread, but I firmly believe that black belts need to know how to do all of these (compete, teach, know the self defense system.... Even though even today Royce, Rickson, Royler, and Rorion have all made adjustments on some of the old ways).
My coach, Jon Burke, made us know every nuance of the system, and in all honesty I am extremely grateful for him doing that. Plus ole Uncle Royce makes sure we know it too, or else he gives us the Royce look...... That damn Royce look

I also really need to get back into shooting but it's been kind of hard to come by ammo with everyone hoarding it since COVID.

Well, I may have a solution for the time being. Ammo price for 9mm and 223/.556 is high, but other non-target practice ammo is not as high. I shoot competitions and I reload my own ammo to save on cost. I also buy it when it is cheap.
The solution in the short term is airsoft. A good blowback airsoft gas pistol is surprisingly good for practice. Recoil simulation and whatnot.
If you have an IG account, this is me and my homemade targets, and my CO2 blowback airsoft pistol along with the battery-powered rifle. The rifle is of little comparison, except for driving the gun to targets.

I have a partner I train with who is getting ready to do what you mentioned. We are drilling all the techniques, he would be promoted by Royce when he is successful.
