- In a recent episode of "Hot Ones," Ludacris discussed the Afrocentric martial art technique known as 52 Blocks. This fighting style, also referred to as Jailhouse Rock or 52 Hand Blocks, originated among African Americans and has a significant cultural heritage linked to its development in American jails due to mass incarceration. It has been associated with notable figures like Mike Tyson and Wesley Snipes and is known for its practicality in close-quarters combat, emphasizing blocks and quick counter-attacks.

Ludacris's mention of 52 Blocks on "Hot Ones" connects to his broader engagement with martial arts, as seen in his action scenes in the "Fast and Furious" franchise, where such techniques enhance the realism and intensity of the fight sequences. The discussion on "Hot Ones" also included a broader conversation about his career and experiences, making it a unique platform where he could share this aspect of his martial arts interest
"52 Blocks is an African-American style of combat developed in the 1800's during the time of the slave fights. It was originally named Virginia Scufflin' taken from the most popular fighters during the era of the slave fights that originated from the state of Virginia. In the 20th Century Virginia Scuffling was renamed 52 Blocks by New Yorkers. 52 Blocks is named after the card game 52 Pickup, meaning let the cards lie where the may or anything goes in the art of survival. The modern 52 Blocks practitioner is an Athlete , Scholar and one who lives their dreams. So join the 52 Blocks Athlectics Nation in creating a new history for 52 Blocks by living in your dreams."

Dude is deceptively quick, i can't believe I've never seen him before. Salute!
You get in a fight on the street now, you better be ready. Lotta people training these days.
Then all you have to do is hit them as effectively as you can and then just run afterwards. You don't have to stay and let your opponent hit you back. Just get your hits off and run.
Depends, the person that would out of his way to assault you is not the average man who trains in a martial art as a casual. The people who train are probably the last kinds of people you'd get attacked by in a street fight.
@@oldboyxanliquidrage agree.
You don't really need to train to street fight though deep down you really should already know how to do it. I honestly think that's where these guys are failing. You just hurt him and don't let him hurt you there are no rules if you try to box like the science in the street, I think that you set yourself up for failure. Fighting on the street is supposed to be purely defense you aren't supposed to just walk up and box a guy because your mad at something he said it is supposed to be a near life or death struggle so you hurt them, or you get hurt you win big or go home. The guys boys are going to jump in on you anyway, someone's gonna pull out a weapon, you can't just win this is pure danger you gotta survive hurt them quick and get the out or you might die. Guy trys to stab you then you hit him real hard and fast and get out, you crack him with a bottle or a pipe if you have too. There is no one on one really you are going to be defending yourself from getting jumped by at least 2 dudes, this doesn't work like the movies. They grab you they throw wild punches and then kick you in the head while your down, all kinds of madness. You're at the bar and the dude's girlfriend smashes you in the head with a beer bottle, stuff like that. If you want to win you have to fight for your life with pure instinct, you aren't going to be thinking of "moves and techniques" you are really best off with pure physicality. Speed, power, and awareness and you don't think you just hit them. See the ball hit the ball, it goes too fast to think too much. Rule number 1 don't get hit, rule number 2 don't get hurt, if you gotta hit them hard or knee a guy really hard in his forehead to put him away so you can get away, then that's just what you do. Your pride means nothing its win, run or get hurt bad.
@@weshouser821the whole point of drilling moves over and over again is so that it becomes instinctual.
Soldiers and warriors have trained for battle for years. So why wouldn't you want to sharpen your skills to make sure they're as effective as possible if you do get into an altercation.
Being purely defensive in a fight is ridiculous, the whole point is to end the situation as fast as possible while taking the least amount of damage.
You say don't get hit, but advise against training. Without training then your head movement would most likely be poor. Which would mean larger full body movements to evade and block which takes more energy and you can't do that forever.
You would need to be on the offensive at some point.
This is one violent man 😆😆😆 He's doing alotta smiling and joking
I have been following 52 blocks for many years many years and I think it’s a wonderful art and there’s different expressions of it from East Coast to West Coast
That's awesome to hear! 52 blocks is such a unique and fascinating art form with different regional variations.
The mark of an effect system is its ability to adapt to the individual. I think that is what Bruce Lee was trying to get across to his students. So glad I found this.
I like Muay Thai. It's so effective but one of the most brutal self-defense styles to learn. And easy to recall when the adrenaline is flowing not to mention sparring against killers. I have respect to 52 practitioners.
Muay Thai is definitely an intense but effective martial art!
@@FightFast Yes sir thanks for the training video
Nippon Kenpo Karate is a hybrid MMA slash Karate style it has Japanese Jujutsu, Muay Thai, Boxing, Judo, Freestyle Wrestling, Karate, And Kung fu
You sir will get knocked out every time in a street fight....js...Muay Thai is only effective in an MMA setting...never in an actual street fight
@@stainless4140 Do you fight? You are welcome to test me out and see if it works. Cosmo Alexandre is my teacher; check out his reels. Plus, I have a knife work background, and not to mention, I am incredibly nice with a gun. Muay Thai is a very effective to add to my arson of other styles I have. I just leveled a dude just on low-leg kicks alone. Do you train more than 5 days a week? Come down and test me out if you wish 🙏
People are saying they don't think this would wor I have to disagree with that because this was formulated in prison where you have to literally fight for your life😊
I'm from the hood in the East Coast, fought 10 guys at once before, and I train in MMA with UFC fighters now. This 100% is legit, and Kickboxing is my Expertise.
@@RamboRichardson I have been fighting MMA before it was even called that, I'm a eighth degree black belt and karate and I was kicked off the 1988 Olympic team for fighting 6 gangster disciples in high school and sending all of them to the hospital. If you're wondering a little skinny Mexican kid named Juan Moreno took my spot on the US Olympic team and won the bronze medal,
Well, I guess we shall call it the "prison-tested" method then lol
That's quite the journey you've had! Keep up the hard work in your training.
@davidshareefChTPhD
Lmao 😂
I support this 100!%! I'm from the hood and train in MMA with Pro Fighters, UFC included. I practice and teach the same stuff but never heard of this system before, Love it!!!
I've been studying 52 block style for quite a number of years it's real and definitely is a formidable fight style. But just like any fight style its effectiveness is also determined by the fighter using it and their athleticism and tenacity.
Nice! Keep honing those 52 block skills and stay tenacious in your practice!
I 1000% agree with you
Also the nature of the combat.
With the growth of MMA many people see it as the ultimate combat style. However, MMA fighters train habits that could be weaknesses in certain life of death situations, such as the habit of grabbing, pulling guard, lack of situation awareness, assuming 1 on 1, etc.
Thanks for liking my comment
Didnt zab judah use this on floyd Mayweather?
52 blocks was originated in NYC ! I was taught this in the projects if Brooklyn in the 70s and It has worked for me ever since! Absolutely an effective style if utilized correctly!
Thank you for sharing your experience with 52 blocks! It's always inspiring to hear how martial arts have made a positive difference.
I also learned 52 in Queens NY in the late 80s 90s. I didn't know I was learning a system this is the way we fought amd we fought alot at that time. Much respect
yerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
52 blocks started during slavery from slaves that were brought from Brazil which is why it looks similar to capoeira
@@BradyHudson-qp3jzNegativeZ 52 Blocks comes out of NY Prison System
Powerful. Simple. Effective.
Sounds like the ingredients for success!
Working the high line and low line that's what its all about 👌🏻
Bro said "I dont care if your in india tying weights to your sack doing squats it ain't getting stronger"
I was in stiches 😂😂😂
Good tactical close quarter combat maneuvers. Simplistic and easy to transition from one technique to another upstairs to down stairs and vise versa Good job
Love using the elbows especially off the lead jab or extended fingers eye jam(ain't nothing dirty in fighting for survival). I like the ghetto boxing cause it's nobody using classic boxing defense that leaves open the groin, entire lead leg and foot open for attacks. It's simple and effective movements, great presentation 👏 👍
Just give the credit to "Bruce Lee, dude! "I fear not the man who practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practice 1 kick 10,000 times." Bruce Lee
If the instructor’s history of 52 blocks is correct he said after the civil war which would pre-date Bruce Lee and if you watch the Hollywood mummy movies you see that Egyptian culture pre-dates Chinese culture so in other words every culture overtime has adapted, changed and applied the use of one’s hands, feet, knees and elbows to match their environment and point in time in history. The key is what is the best way to use your hands and feet that meet your skill set because their is only one Bruce Lee, Ip man, Jim Kelly, Muhammad Ali, etc
@@vincenthyman895 Yea, but it's almost impossible to look up. If it's true, then Bruce is really the one who popularized it!
52 blocks developed in the 1970's in prison. No where I have red saying that 52 blocks was around the Civil War era. It was a prison fighting system for defense.
That part. Fuqin SELLebrities 🤡
Best comment i have seen about martial arts @@vincenthyman895
Thank you. I’ve been wanting to know about 52 Blocks for a long time!
I'm glad the video was helpful for you!
This Teacher is very entertaining while teaching well!
Entertaining and educational, the best combo!
7:56 "Drop it down to the sack" was funny as hell to me
Great vid. There will always be a place to implement these types of techniques.
I have trained in over of Japanese and Chinese systems of martial arts and have had to use them on the street, and I am pleased to say that 52 blocks link the best parts of practical applications to a whole other level.
That first bit about having your strong arm forward is legit. I'm a right handed southpaw. Nobody expects your jab to have ass behind it like that. Many fights ended right there.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Man I remember back in day we used to slap box on the corner just to test skills.
definitely going to get this training dvd
I've seen this style as a kid, but they always kept this fighting style a secret. Ty for this.
Great work ,i believe in this and urban combatives holland.
It works really well if the other guy is just standing there 😂
Not sure how but glad tis came across my feed 🔥🔥
Damn. I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this! It looks legit! Good concept for a street fight and some self defense.

Outstanding. Thanks.
Great Breakdown of Vital, Practical close quarter action! Many Thanks!
😳 Did anybody notice that beautiful roll big man pulled off at 18:21?!
Legendary Knowledge 🤛🏾
You guys have the best CZcams Channel! Thanks for all you guys do
I love this!
Growing up in Brooklyn we used to slap box and do 52 blocks. Dope to see the art form is spreading.
The way he broke it down, he pretty much explained a philosophy of Muy Boran and Wing Chun combined. And both of those martial arts were made for quick and effective self defense, not sport! 🙌🏽✊🏽👏🏽
Awesome I like that Chaotic Combat 💪🏿
What happened to the "Skull and Cross Bones" block?
I believe this is a variation of it! I'm from Brooklyn and dudes in my neighborhood was nasty with it!!
Reminds me of Kenpo.
Alot of people know 52 blocks especially if your from NYC that's where it started
🫡
I love to play the cat like a funky piano.
You can’t reinvent the wheel, you can only refine it. I can appreciate combat styles that is both effective and simple to learn. I really believe all martial arts are useful, but many of them takes years of practice to be effective. Most people are looking to fight in a cage match. They’re in a situation and they need that situation to be over with as quickly and safely as possible. Fighting isn’t like the movies. It’s quick and it’s dirty. If you can finish a fight in one punch and walk away, that’s way preferable to dancing around with someone.
Well I'm impressed, nothing is fake about this. This guy would mess me up lol
Dope video!! Good looking💯💯💯💪🏾
I think it’s cool how he got 2Pac to guest host
This here is very important impressive knowledge
I like how they filmed this at the loading dock behind the bodega in Compton with all the graffiti & stuff, just for that extra grit of 'reality'... I can practically smell the urine from here
😜
Coming straight out of Compton.
*A BRAH!* 😂😂😂
I knew he was from Cali. I said this under one of their other video.. I can hear his Cali accent! Didn’t know it was the CPT, though..
@@nmr20067, if you listen very carefully you can hear the pitter-patter of tiny homeless feet in the background
If you don't think this would work just because he's bigger or thicker your not looking closely. Angles change he's showing you moves for a video
Getting hit in the sack and the throat is putting any man down 😂 and I mean any lmaoo
Everybody has a plan, until they get punched in the face !
: Iron Mike Tyson
Good video
Nice Feed👍
Thanks 👍
I appreciate how the angles being shown here make it hard to enter a grapple. That would be my first instinct since judo is all I've trained, but getting in from knees and elbows and headbutts isn't easy.
Damm really Luda. He raps like a New Yorker and learned the 52 blocks? Wow!
Simple and effective tactics for close quarters hand-to-hand combat!
This is not the 52 blocks we do in NYC!!! Ours features actual BLOCKS!!!
This is a few tips in 3 dvds we have.
Real talk 👄
Can't we All just get along!👀
52 is basically mix of boxing a wing chun.
But way shittier lol
Of course my fellow keyboard expert
@@S.N.T.247IDK man, his footwork is slick
@gxtmfa you ever see anybody dance? They have slick footwork but can't fight. This too flashy and chasing g hands. Never going to work against a real boxer
I don't see where he is chasing hands bud. But yeah, I guess that cocaine you are trying is one hell of a drug
This style is very brutal. And I see a lot of comments talking about fighting for survival. Hopefully you can gauge both your intensity and targets(throat, groin) when fighting for the other things in life. It all depends if a sucker needs to get bodied, floored, whooped, or pummeled. You are really skilled at fighting if you can deliver the necessary beating the situation calls for. All I'm saying is some homies don't need their sac in their stomach for some minor bullshit
If Ludacris took martial arts, especially Karate, he’d know that we train by the adage, “You must practice 10,000 blocks to block an opponent once,” and the same for strikes, kicks, etc. I’m definitely not the best of martial artists but I live by that saying because has enabled another latent skill for self-defense: In the absence of of thought, technique will flow 🙏🏽
I'm going to Nigeria and I don't know if I'll be able to carry a firearm or not so I'm definitely going to implement this style since I already have 6-8 years of boxing experience. I gotta stay sharp out there just in case.
Im from the Bronx. We been doing the 52 hand blocks when i was coming up ever since the 80's. I seen all types of shit. Cats tapping the ground and walls to create faints, doing windmills, throwing some elbows, even boxing with razors, but the way you throwing those elbows is serious. Not only is that dangerous, but it look like some ghetto Bruce Lee shit. Lol. Shit is dope!. Gotta add this to my arsenal. Good looking for the video family!
I confirm 💯% - these are effective tools for the tool box. Like pliers: Vice grips can’t do it all, so they created needle nose, crimping, lineman, round nose, diagonal etc.
It would be interesting to see this as a sport. You have opportunity to create it now.
so this was luda inspiration for " throw dem bows " 😂
Yea never heard Of MR.52 Block NYC been fighting like this
I have a hard time believing they were saying “guard your grill” around the time the civil war happened. 😂😂😂
I got hip to 52 in Des Moines, IA.
New subscriber Little Rock Arkansas
WE NEED A YOU VS LYTE BURLY FOR THE 52 BLOCK CULTURE
I thought you could only upgrade the story-mode characters. Fight for NY remaster looks amazing
I laugh so hard my head hurt 🤣🤣🤣
I am curious why the system doesn't utilise the clinch? Great to be able to throw knees and elbows without a clinch, but clinch control is a force multiplier. Great way to cut short a fight in complete control.
I wanna learn this. Where does Diallo Frazier teach?
All his assistants dwarf the dude, but you can tell they want 0 smoke. The dudes legit
I wonder can i learn online bc i live in the country country of Ga
Joe took forever to get on camera, he doesn't want to get punched on.
😅
LMAO
Yeah, Bruce said it 1st be afraid of the guy that practices the same kick 10000 times not the one that practices 10000 kicks.
Ludacris trying to learn the arts to keep Diddy from his ass...
That's crazy everybody been talking about diddy
😂😂😂😂😂
This is JKD what bruce was teaching. Fighting with dominate hand as your lead hand and cracking the opponent with that straight lead.
It was called dirty boxing when I learned it" from a old Manhattan cat in 80's at the rec center. The shit! definitely works for shorter fighters. I've used it several times in years of cats trying to front on me or being jealous and in acting in Philly manners. The style allows you to stay loose and be creative and reactive in a heart beat. I've done my " thing with it against bull's. Its Factual arts here...to fam.
Question, Is this self defense or self offense? Your opponent is never the initial aggressor in each demonstration or is this a system of "beat him to the punch"?
Cool style 🫡
Hahaha! @41 seconds....He said it was developed in the "penile" system. Lost me right there😂😂😂
The penus system
He meant penal but lol still 😂
Bruh swift wit it
It definitely has some Bruce Lee,Gypsy boxing,Muay Thai influence. However I’ve seen people use this in the ring like Kamaru Usman,Israel Adesanya,Conor Mcgregor,and a few others.
Jailhouse rock!
That’s kewl 0:22
This is how I imagine Def Jam fighters train.
It’s called a hop skip, and simultaneously striking with move.
I prefer any art that doesn’t have limits. When an art acknowledges no rules I listen and has things you can’t even practice - tell me more.
6:49
Lol what city is Diallo from?
He's from some where in California.
Somebody in the comments said this is Compton.
Certainly not New York. I didn't here one pause after "Feels good touching the body" or "Feels good dropping it to the sack" 😂
He's originally from Chicago
@@somebody2310 You are aware that this style comes from New York right??!!!
Bruce Lee..said this😮😮 it true
He was interested in real fight streetfighting strategies AND performance ('piuyin') moves for cinema and knew the diffrence.
Too bad people are so linear in thinking, they can't hold two thoughts together at the same time.
@@_BillyMandalayTrue. He grew up street fighting in Hong Kong. There was a deep fight culture there at the time. He left after he beat the sh*t out of a triad member’s son, and moved to San Francisco.
I thought that 52 BLOCK was developed around the 1970's.
Seems like a lot of similarities of JKD just different names of the concepts but damn near the same. Thank you Bruce Lee
this way more ruthless than what Lyte Burly be training.
Ludda should've defened his backdooria with that mindset.😂
I used 52 blocks on my college professor, totally worth it
