This drill is really good, but the thing is that the "keysi" tecniques are not really present here, only basic kickboxing, wich shows that kickboxing and oher sport based fighting styles can be adapted to self defense quite well, not saying keysi doesn't work, but you can achieve simillar results by adapting kickboxing and mma to a self dedense setting
Yes as stated in the description, this was a specific drill only utilising Boxing and Muay Thai. It works well because it's still sparring at the end of the day and does not imitate a street fight in which everything goes in a very chaotic manner. Still a great drill to build certain attributes. 👍🏼
@@unleashselfdefence I am an MMA practitioner and i do incorporate some elements of the Defence Lab, like some elbows from my modified "pensador guard" and also hammerfists from that guard, i drill and sometimes spar multiple opponents in a similar way to what you guy do at keysi, but i do think, i think that keysi is a good suplement to regular striking systems, but i think that if you're only training keysi, it might end up not being enough, but i do like elements of the system, i like that it adress fighting and defending from your knees, i like that it drills and spars multiple opponents, but as I'm skilled in boxing and low kicks from my MMA training, I don't think that it gives enough enphisis on basic boxing footwork to avoid being stuck in the midle of the multiple opponents, I don't like the lack of basic Wrestling, but it is overall a good system that completes other systems and it could beneft from cross training a bit more with wrestling, and boxing and kickboxing, but as said, the multiple opponents drills are good and elbows and hammer fists from the pensador guard are great, but as I said that by it self alone, might not be enough
For anyone watching this, I think this is great, but I would highly recommend learning some FMA to supplement this. Imagine the same situation where she fights off 2 of the 3, but then the 3rd guy has enough time to draw a weapon while she's not focusing on him. I know she kicks the 3rd guy, but imagine a case where he's too close already and is able to stab her. It's too late for her to run away and it's hard to kick if he's already closed the distance. I train FMA, but I have started incorporating DL in my situation training because I could get taken by surprise in the train here in Chicago. My FMA training allows me to deal with weapon attacks, while DL allows me to not get knocked out right from the start. Also, as an FMA guy, I really see the shapes as an easier entry to be able to do my hubud/sagang labo and panantukan stuff. For those who only do DL, consider that FMA could help you in a weaponed situation if one of the multiple attackers decides to pull a knife or worse. Defend using FMA, then go back to your DL, then back to FMA. It can only benefit!
@@unleashselfdefence all bs aside. It really has piqued my interest. But there is defs a LOT that tugs at my brain as stuff that’s wrong. I would like to try learning it. Any so called instructors in Canada?
Hello Defence Lab Training, I wanted to ask you a question, and it's whether in the training sessions you conduct, you focus on Martial Arts techniques such as Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, real and scientifically proven techniques that are effective for self-defense, and if you also engage in sparring to improve your own physical abilities.
Thanks for the question. Our classes are ultimately based on Defence Lab which is a no nonsense, reality based Self Defence system. These techniques are very well thought put for defending yourself in real life and against Multiple attackers. We do also incorporate aspects of Muay Thai and Boxing, but this is mainly for attribute building and a few ways of our sparring methods. Coming from a Muay Thai background myself, Defence Lab does teach a very unique and enhanced approach for the street. I hope you come and give it a go. 👊🏼
Definitely credit goes to our Black brothers for creating 52 Blocks. However, this video only shows one very small drill from Defence Lab. Having seen 52 Blocks, it is very different to Defence Lab. Do both have some similar Blocks.... yes. Do both have punches..... yes. But the same can be said with other systems. However if you study Defence Lab in greater detail, it is a very different system my friend.
Have to respectfully disagree. Most attackers punch and not kick. Most attackers don't even know how to punch properly, let alone kick. But of course, it's important to have kick defence in case someone does kick, and we do certainly have it. Just not shown in this specific drill. 👍🏼 Appreciate your comment my friend!
Never seen one person going against multiple attackers in Kick Boxing. You are partly right but do have a read of the description to see what this is really about. 👊🏼
It's a great question. Obviously with your height, some aspects will not be applicable if you are defending yourself against much shorter attackers, but there are many parts of our training that will still be life-saving and not found in other systems, especially when it comes to multiple attackers. Best thing would be to come and and give it a go. 🙏🏼💪🏼😎
Thank you for your question 🙏🏼. By only using Boxing and Muay Thai, we are able to glove and pad up and go fast and hard in our sparring. So the emphasis on this drill is to not only build the usual attributes of timing, distancing, reaction etc which you get in normal 1-2-1 sparring, but to add to this, to also incorporate such sparring in a multiple attacker situation which is not common at all. It is not possible to go fast and hard without wearing protection. We all know this. And because of this, we are not able to incorporate our many other techniques which require the hands to be free of gloves. Hence why this is a specific drill to build certain attributes only but still done in a very unique way to DL. Hope this helped my friend. 👊🏼🖤💚
As the former 5th ranked Judoka in England, I can advise that you only need 2 martial arts - Judo for groundwork and Aikido for all your street needs. Nothing can defeat Aikido, not MMA, no striking arts can defeat it.
Appreciate your comment brother. I think it will be great to have you come and try one of our classes. I am sure that you will not only enjoy the session but also find it very interesting..... and it may even change your thinking. It's not about which system is best as all offer something. But would love to have you experience Defence Lab properly to add to your arsenal! 🙏🏼
Karate black belt, krav maga FEKM association black belt and now jiu-jitsu practitioner. We would avoid ending up between attackers for obvious reasons!
Obviously! We also teach the same but we ALSO teach worst case scenario. Do make sure to read the description of this video to truly understand what this 'drill' is about. I'm also speaking as a Karate Brown Belt, Boxing and Muay Thai for 11 years and now DL Black Belt and Crew Member that anyone who truly understands real life scenarios and street violence, would know that no matter how much you try, sometimes you WILL find yourself surrounded by multiple attackers and sadly each system that you have learnt has zero training on how to effectively deal with such a scenario.... in fact Defence Lab (DL) and KFM are the only systems that truly understand this and teach how to defend against. For someone to claim that they will simply not allow themselves to be surrounded by multiple attackers is naive of real life violence. So yes, try to avoid but should you find yourself in such a situation, what then? What is your answer? I hope you will come and try DL for yourself my friend. I am sure that you will love it, especially with the training you have got so far. 👊🏼
My dear friend, please read the description. You will find your answer there.👊🏼🙏🏼 But do keep in mind that kick-boxing doesn't ever involve sparring against more than one opponent at a time. I would also invite you to come and give our classes a go where you will get a much better idea of what we are about.
It would have been nice if you read the description of what is going on in this video. Of course the attackers can grab, and we also teach various other techniques BUT this exercise is to build certain attributes WITH gloves on. This drill alone is very difficult for most. Come and give our classes a go. I'm sure you will enjoy them. 👍🏼
@@unleashselfdefence I would love to see a real 2 VS 1 drill where you can grab and throw your opponent to the ground, and hit them as if it were a real fight.
Great I like that you’re showing what a class looks like instead of snippets Show more please so we can get some idea how this amazing system is taught
@siwal69 Well we don't have any Instructor around that area. As UK Director, I am looking to recruit Instructors across the UK. If you or anyone you know would be interested in becoming a DL Franchise then let me know. 👍🏼
Thanks for your message. It's designed purely for the street and has proven to work countless of times. My own son knocked out 3 older boys. Where are you based? If there are classes close to you then you can come for a free taster session otherwise you can always train from the comfort of your home with our online training packages - www.defencelabtraining.co.uk/hvoc/. 👍🏼😎
Not at the moment. We do have Home Videos which you can find at - www.defencelabtraining.co.uk/hvoc/. If you need anything else or have more questions, then fee free to email us at info@defencelabtraining.co.uk. 👊🏼
Yes. You can find some great online packages at www.defencelabtraining.co.uk/hvoc/. However if you are looking for LIVE online classes then please email us at info@defencelabtraining.co.uk. 👍🏼😎
The problem with this sort of elbow striking is that it puts you into grappling range. Against a larger opponent with grappling skills...could be a problem.
It's a good point and proves how self defence for reality has so many different aspects to it with so many different possibilities. This is a technique designed for close quarter, which is also effective in a multiple attacker scenario, aimed to teach both blocking and rapid attacking at the same time. There isn't any faster elbow combos out there except in Defence Lab. But yes, can you get taken to the ground? Of course this is possible, and you will then need to adapt your strategy. But could you also cause serious damage first with this unexpected attack.... yes. It's all about learning as much as you can for your specific purpose in life, whether that is to compete or just to be able to better handle yourself in real life (which is a totally different to the ring/octagon). Thanks for your comment!
It's a great question. And the answer is BOTH. In the middle of a chaotic situation with fists flying (especially in a multiple attacker scenario), traditional blocks simply don't work. This is one of many drills showing how you can defend and attack at the same time (attacks being close quarter).
@@unleashselfdefence thanks for the reply, I think I understand. That's where the D-N-A concept comes in. I'm just trying to visualize what targets he might be going for. I'm going to give it a try in shadow boxing and contemplate it a bit.
The shapes are great but my issue is this notion of being able to fight multiple attackers. Against a skilled striker, it may not hold up. I don't think the argument "in the street" helps in that efficacy in sparring and competition and pressure testing helps determine that. Using sneaky or dirty tactics against a better fighter may help or may make your situation worse. I love DL but I just don't know if maybe I'd be better off with just boxing and BJJ. I'd be curious to see more explanations on these things because I could be wrong and don't want to be an ignorant conventional martial arts purist. I see a lot of influence from Phillipine dirty boxing which is good.
Really good to see that your open minded unlike many. This video is very limited and you are right that if you investigate further into DL, you will find that it is far more realistic for multiple attackers and real life violence in general.
@@unleashselfdefence thanks I'm definitely looking into it. My nation is extremely violent so it will help, I also know a young kid who will soon be entering high school so the anti bullying sounds great. Are you guys going to be doing the anti rape program? Or programs for us guys who do have training but suppose go out with our women companions (wives/girlfriends) and the female is accosted?
@@livingweaponnightmare The Anti-Bullying Program is fantastic for Kids. What country do you live in? There are already a few defence techniques which would be great for women on the HVOC program but we will also be adding Rape Defence as well as other defence techniques specific to women.
And there are some these days who also believe that there are more than two genders yet it doesn't make it so either. You opinion is meaningless if you have never even tried what we do. Let me guess, you're into BJJ, Muay Thai or MMA and think the UFC is real..... right? I can 100% say that you've never even properly trained or tried DL with a proper DL Instructor. If you had, then you would not have made such a comment, which frankly we find both ignorant and arrogant. I hope you give it a genuine go someday to make a more informed decision. It will change your mind. 👍🏼👊🏼
@defencelabtraining9687 Good response. UFC is so rigged. I know a couple of guys that tried to get into the UFC and it's disgusting. You pretty much have to sell your soul.
Yes. Lets cover half of your face, reduce range, reduce sight, and attack points of the body most people would walk through. You punch my thigh and you will find yourself eating my knee for lunch.
You are not really claiming that Keysi or defense lab or whatever movie name they want to use next "invented" putting your hands on you head? and that other people are "imitators"? Come on, although for such an instinctive and useful position it was certainly pretty rarely scene, but there are documented examples (which I usually insist on when dealing with the fantasy world of self-defense) Examples that come to mind are David Newsome (i think) , back in the late 80s, and his "jail house rock" prison fighting that appeared in a couple martial arts magazines back then. It sure looked a hell of a lot simpler and more effective than doing the karate upper blocks we were doing at the time-that really got me thinking. And BJJ emphasises it now but "framing" the head is old school bjj and i think Hugo Duarte can be seen doing this at the beginning of his (loss) to Tank Abott, as well as Rampage Jackson's tight "wedging" blocks defence just before he knocked out Vanderlai Silva. So i would have to argue that all this predates Keysi and is more proven and effective, therefore you guys are the "imitators".
