EXPERIENCE VS INEXPERIENCE - Self Defense Techniques 

My name is David also. I've been interested in martial arts since 1966,and I'm 65 years old now. I started karate in 1972 and I received my black in karate in 1978. I started aikido in 1979, and I received my brown belt in aikido in 1990. I briefly taught self defense in the early 1990's. I began studying phillipine kali in 1987. I love kali. I started studying african martial arts in 2001. I currently practice kali and and the african martial arts to this day. I always say that I am a student first. I love your videos. I'm always learning from you and I want to thank you very much for your information. I share your video to all my martial arts friends. In my 51 years of martial arts training, I realize the more I learn in martial arts, the more there is to learn. Thank you. Professor David.

I’ve been training in Krav Maga for a couple years now, and the techniques you use are very similar to what we do. Everything you talk about and show is spot on!! Keep posting and helping people out brother!! ✊🏼❤❤

I love how you guys, slow things down, explain, explain, explain...., and use multiple views to really see the mechanics. I cannot figt, grapple nothing. I NEED to defend corretly.

You're passion is admirable. Your commonsense skills is unparalleled and refreshing.

David you are the absolute master for self defense! No doubt about it! Amazing informative videos! Can you do a video on the mind set needed to defend yourself, how do you make your mind become a warrior and hit hard to defend yourself if you never had the situation happen before? If you never experienced that type of stress in defending yourself? Thank you very much in advance! 🙌🏻

Finally a man that thinks the way I've always thought. His analysis is spot on. Like he says, think.

Your information has no comparison coupled with practicality. This has improved my system, I've been a practitioner of Lethwei and Kra Maga for years. Thank you for sharing. I will be contacting you.

Never seen or heard of that devils handshake. Thank You!

DAMN you guys are NO JOKE you’re THE REAL DEAL MUCH RESPECT gentlemen

Well done coach! Thanks to Kenny for the help. I share it right now!

Happy Sunday ! Thank you 😊

Ous! 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿

I love this guy! You are real. I have a black belt in Shorie Ryu Kenpo, and Brown in American Kenpo, way to many unnecessary movements. Were not in the old days anymore, the thugs have evolved, and nobody has the time or the money to train at a dojo for 5 years to master an art. Great Stuff!!

I think it's wise to note that not every situation, will require deadly force. That said, I do believe that there is a time and place for joint locks.

PREACH SENSEI PREACH ...WORD!!!!!

Always the best

Thank you because you and Kinney are great teachers.im watching from new Mexico and the city I live in is rough and dangerous and it's not safe here and I love your instructions and I get the feeling that you and Kinney are the good guys.i havesny of yr videos on my phone😊

If I lived in NY I'd join up. You have a no bullshit attitude that I just don't see anymore. Keep up the excellent work!

I wish I lived in your neck of the woods. I’d come train with you for sure. Love your content, keep it up. You’re helping to keep us all safe.

Professor David and Kenny are the real deal! Thank you for your videos

Yet another wonderful video, that will teach us how to defend ourselves. Please share this great content.

MAN I CAN TELL YOU ARE FUCIN GREAT. I CANT STOP WATCHING YOU

Salute Gents🫡

U guys so great and amazing keep up the works

I love it! And I need to rewind and play that end rant over and over. This is gold and you are protecting people from bad advice

Great information, guys !

Always informative Professor.

Remarkable uncanny ability to see and dissect every minute detail. These two keep it simple. Which makes for very effective results. These two are truly on "another level". Their content speaks volumes. Nuff said.

Getting better and better, guys, this was a Great one👍🏆

I notice on the video, the MMA Instructor momentarily though about the arm bar technique on the inside flow!

Interesting stuff Professor ❤

Yes indeed sensei's

I Love His Videos He Knows What He Talking About

I believe in 3 zones of self defense. The 2 - 3 meter zone, I practice Sil Lum Quan Gung Fu for this zone but many other martial arts systems will suffice. I like the Jeff Speakman Kempo 5.0 for this zone but I don't know it. The 1 - 2 meter zone, I practice Wing Chun Kung Fu for this zone but the other choices seem to narrow significantly. Jujitsu, Silat and Kali are very efficient in this zone as well. The 0 - 1 meter zone, I practice Wing Chun Kung Fu for this zone but Professor David has convinced me that it may not be the most efficient in street situations.

I thank you guys for video you’ll are really best in world I love all your clips God bless happy holidays more videos

Professor David James and Shihan Kenny thank you. Great share. Keep up the excellent work.

I'm unpacking and breaking down all the "techniques" that I've learned or try to remember over the years, which is too many. My mind would get in 'stuck mode'. I love the way they teach, simple, effective, raw and challenge you to try it to see if it works instead of what many teachers do in that they teach something because its part of the curriculum or looks cool.

Excellent

Wow, the Truth….Thank you for sharing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thanks for the great video and Thanks for slowing it down to understand. God bless you and Kenny

Thank you.

Thank you for keeping it simple.

Incredible breakdown! Thank you. Hope to continue learning on SDU

Love all your analogies with real life. Great advice thank you

Prof David puts mustard on self defense and eats it! The Real deal

You got MY Attention! EVERY DAY☯️

Love the wisdom and passion. Valuable video. Thanks.

Professor David and Master Wong say some similar phrases.😂

Yes your right the first thing a noticed is his face was wide open to a right hand punch

Excellent had to share!

Professor Dave, you are the one , and I thank you this one is definitely going to my son also…

My opinion re: the grapplers video insert technique vs shoulder grab. There is very little reason to believe the defender would have enough leverage against the attackers grip on a good day. Not to mention the attackers bicep & triceps muscles at full violent contraction along with the shoulder girdle which is quite secure, will be able to affect any sort of lock, certainly not a dislocation or rib fracture. There is no way the ribs can be fractured or shoulder girdle dislocated, not going to happen. This is part of the problem these days, inexperienced grappling practitioners teaching real world self defense that they have no idea about. I've always taught strikes as mandatory set ups for other Waza. A handful of times was I able to pop on a quick joint lock cold. When I did it was when the perp didn't see me coming. This type of "attack" if dislocation or fracture is called for, it would be against the brittle nasal bones via a left hand trap/simultaneous right hand strike to fracture it. Lightning quick, disabling immediately then make ones escape or deal with potential other attackers. Just my professional opinion. Thank you Sensei for clearing the air in the real world.

You the best!!!

Good Lesson! 💥

Brilliant 👏

Thanks!

Many Thanks wish you guys would consider coming to charleston south carolina we need this kind of training Here

👍

Thanks for slowing it down that was fast

SALUTE! The Devils Handshake 🤝

Thank you guys.

Thanks

Love that

Yes sir

Also, as the professor has taught us, "Your legs are longer than his arm. Get rid of the attacker quickly.

That is great

You are supposed to grab your own wrist when doing an arm triangle. Rotate while setting it up.

I've been spelling Kat k a t for 20 years that's wrong that's how I do it😂😂😂

I'm learning and hoping I never have to use it.

😂😂😂 priceless 🎉

I really like Tim and I also subscribe to his channel but like you said “he’s a grappler” teaching things that are more suitable for MMA or fighting than self defense.

Professor David James can you send a set videos , using your videos and teachings all Of them as possible so he can teach specialist in self defence for complete begginers and novices for Nana or NOk or Michael smith , online because like Marcus it is tailored for me and my type and come to the USA 🇺🇸 ,so we can do it london uk , Do something Papa Dad Jonathan smith and uncle Frank and uncle Phil let’s do something from professer David james

😹18:58 🚘🚙🚉...🚑!🤣

The DEVIL'S HANDSHAKE 🤝😮 That move was impressive. It looked like something someone who grew up in the getto would do. 

It's all about getting out of that MMA delusional mindset. People thinking that m m a will be the answer to all offensive and defensive and defensive situations when it comes to physical contact

You have to trap the opponent's hand to your chest to have a chance to pull off that technique, or he will pull his hand back.

😭

This îs not Devil hand, it's Snake bite

You need more subscribers to yell at! Love these vids not the working women 🤣🤣🤣

Most karate videos are STUPID

I love it the genuine passion from this man.

great video
