now this is what I call bad ass fighting techniques. I know that these techniques work. Weapons do help put down bad guys, but sometimes it is better to know the techniques and then take away the weapon from the bad guys and use it on them. Being physically fit and young also is a must.
To the guys making fun of this video. These are simple techniques. Even Green Beret soldiers don't have decades to study unarmed combat. Their techniques must be effective, and really easy to learn. Are there more effective techniques? Maybe. But they are harder to learn, and require more expertise. The instructor isn't teaching advanced martial arts to Black Belts. He's teaching a short course to non-martial artists. And of course, the neck breaks can't be practiced at full speed, or with intent. And the choke? Sure, there are parts of the technique that could be better. But again, he's teaching it to non martial artists. If they can get it sort of right, most of the time....I think that's the goal. And....this instructor clearly isn't a trained martial artist, but a competent instructor of the program he is given to teach.
I think some of the criticism in the comments by people are valid. Many of the movements look a bit suspect for practical army combatives use. Some of the movements look like aikido kata where the opponent cooperatively leaves their atemi striking arm hanging out cooperatively for the defender to counter. Furthermore, correct me if I'm mistaken but this is not a U.S. Military department training film nor does it claim to be based on actual circa-80's or 90's military combatives training. It's just a guy - maybe an ex-special forces - doing his own martial arts which may or may not be part of a circa-80's military combatives curriculum. Military combatives change over time and that is understood. Back in the day it focused a lot on the martial arts and combat sports that were known in that era such as boxing, judo, Japanese jujutsu, and wrestling. An example of this can be seen in this official old WW 2 U.S. Air Force hand to hand combat training film: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1IRa6zQEyzQ.html But the one thing we will notice is that the techniques in the old official Air Force hand-to-hand combat training film are simple because it has to be standardized to teach a large group of students quickly and efficiently whereas this "Green Beret" video's movements seem a bit too complex, if not high risk/low probability moves like at 28:55 which is like an aikijujutsu or aikido "kokyu nage" against two opponents that you see in Seagal movies. Just saying. You can tell that many of the techniques in the official US Air Force hand to hand combat training film works. Even today's "basic training" army combatives FM 3-25.150 (you can find a free PDF download on the net) which utilizes such varied methods as muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is simple and effective and not elaborate. I find this "Green Beret" training film a bit sketchy with far too many stylized movements and "karate chops" to be a legit Special Forces hand to hand combat methods.
Actually asking anyone if a system for the military is "standard" is kind of a trick question. There are apparently training vids, but these are derived ad hoc. many instructors are utilized for material taught in hand to hand combat for the military, and some may train a division of one sort, or another, but there really is no standerdized system for any of the armed forces. One way to look at this is logically: If you were in Paris, and going to cooking school, would you want to pick a particular restaurant and eat at it day in and day out? No... You would want to sample many eateries... The military is about fighting and with all the great martial approaches, a special forces guy could go learn from many great teachers... why pick one standard curriculum?
Anyone who really knows martial arts knows that when you're doing a "training" video, you have to allow the trainer to do the technique so that the viewer can see what's being done. In addition, these are "basic" techniques. Try teaching techniques to your students by moving so fast that no one can learn what you're doing, let your attacker do multiple techniques so you can't show the technique you're trying to teach, and use full force so you will make sure the audience knows that your techniques really work. Finally, make sure you have a good lawyer doing your way because you'd be going to jail afterwards if you do it your way.
This is an instructional video for Green Beret trainees. Their lives depended on their fighting skills. Life or death, no sport. Techniques are drawn from the traditional martial arts as they were practiced before they became sport.
@@pehunter1 The martial arts parts are great. It’s the over the top, BDU, bloused boots, bandannas and wrist bands imagery that was so prevalent among 1980s martial arts seminar attendees that I am paying homage to.
Of course you wouldn't actually break their neck, just do the motion, but would have to be VERY careful with your partner, I say practice on a grappling dummy, much safer.
@@JoanieKennedy don't let these guys bother you, I was should a simple and effective way to collapse a wind pipe from either the front of back with minimal effort, no partner is needed to train per say...
@@darkdan3379 I won't, thank you. ♥️ Ever since I was asssulted 11 years ago, self defense stuff has interested me. My uncle taught me some stuff similar to this he was a Nam combat vet. I got the Fairbairn Gutter Fighting books. Etc. I find it interesting how each era in the military has different systems.
Great video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you ever tried - Chireetler Dread Free Rule (just google it)? It is a great one of a kind guide for learning effective self defence moves without the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my close friend Aubrey at very last got great results with it.
Energy analysis: When you step in you are meeting force with force. Try stepping back, windmill block and run with him. Most will not be able to stand when their energy is rapidly added to. Variant, duck hand block, step behind your other foot and hip pivot into zen. This will break the elbow, dislocate the shoulder (release) and let him smash his own face into a wall or table. You can help them along with a left palm strike to the thoracic vertebrae.
@@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman if you take a look at what special forces is taught. You will see that a lot of the techniques are from different martial arts styles. Karate might be one of them.
Horse stance is an intermediate step for an over head throw. Right hand to the armpit, left hand to the hip, lift body and release. Let them slam to the ground. Follow with a 45 knife edge ankle kick to the back of the neck. Block high medium or low step into a very narrow zen, rotate hips (horse stance) into a very narrow reverse zen and help them on their way. It is all about changing their vector so that they become unstable and hurt themselves trying to recover. This is highly effective when red runs at you.
Wing Chun (Portional) Karate (Portional Aspects of Ed Parker Kenpo) Muay Thai (Portional) Jujutsu (Portional) Gutter Fighting (Some Aspects) The main modification is to end the fight as soon as possible. Instead of creating a complete fighting system? They use certain techniques for different situations. Most of those situation would not happen the way it is demonstrated. The weapon defense category was off? *Side stepping and deflecting your opponent blow, and going for a neck break is something you'll see in a movie.* Your opponent with a cleaver is not going going to stop with just one blow? You'll have to monitor that attacking arm no matter what. Like the second (machete) attack to the mid section? Instead of stopping the arm? You'll have to *Jam or Intercept* your opponent too attempt the disarm. Overall the video did share useful techniques that can actually be applied for real life altercations.
I have this DVD, easy and deadly moves to use in combat. These are things I categorize as NOT things you do to someone you catch hitting on your Wife or girlfriend after coming out of the bathroom in a bar.
In real life if they got fists,use knife,if they got knife,use gun! If fists against fist,move forward into their attack with your own using palms and elbows,goodnight! Never fight fair and always become the aggressor on your attacker! Real green beret shit for you right there!
Even in 84, we were still doing a lot of this type training and knife fighting in 7th ID (L). They stopped shortly afterward because the gangbangers were training their own on the outside or so we were told. Also people were getting injured even during training. Now the new kids just pull their stress card when accosted by the enemy, hoping they get a safe space time out, 🤣😂
@@bobfromdenison That was one of those ideas that came about in the 90's for trainees, I don't think it lasted very long. lol. I guess they realized that if you can't handle someone in your face screaming, then we can't expect much from you when someone is trying to kill you or your team mates.
Pretty Sillly and dishonest of you to say that. The U.S. Military is the most lethal,combat ready force in human history. WE've been constantly at war since 9/11, invaded countries, occupied them, and none has invaded us. We left Afghanistan because we won the war and got tired of nation building. As far as special ops... They've never been deadlier or more prepared for ANYTHING. Why must people lie about our military.
@@deejin25 Just stating what I saw during my 20 years of service. I also served with the other side of that coin as well. Afghanistan was a lost cause, I spent a few years there as well as a diplomatic security contractor. The way Biden just walked away was simply the wrong answer, abandoning billions of dollars of military equipment was certainly a stroke of insanity.
@Peter Schmidt I guess you have never been in a hand to hand fight. There are no combatives, no drama, no rules , no do-overs,no posing. It is simply kill or be killed. In a real world fight the whole thing is over in less than 3-5 seconds, you are either dead or you are not.
The neck breaks come after a stun. Not walk up grab head and twist. It's block while giving pain and quickly go for neck. It's not going to work every time and they make it clear in the video that you may have to change technique or the order of your attack. It's a demonstration of the techniques, that's it. Anything can be blocked, countered or dodged. That's not what this is. Again, the narrator stated several times that these movements are to be practiced until they are reflex. I've trained since I was a teenager and overall this video is on point. This is for killing not a pissing contest.
@Jebediah Harrington No. Because you cant do them at all because its illegal to murder people. So since you never get the experience to actually murder someone in practice youll never be able to pull it off in the heat of action. I mean think about it it realistically. Imagine if you parcticed basketball by yourself then find your self in a game with people with skills moving. YOu may be the best shooter but lack the real life experience.
@Jebediah Harrington Thats exactly what im talking about. How do you know how to do the finishing blow under pressure when you really cant. You fight how you practice. If you cant practice the most crucial part of the technique then its trash.
@Jebediah Harrington Ok I get what youre saying. I just assume that anyone I have to fight against or defend against knows how to fight and wont be a stagnant turd that lets you do this stuff to them. Thats why I prefer fighting styles that allow you to fully test your techniques like wrestling, juijitu and boxing. I do see how these techniques do work against someone smaller, weaker and without any fight skills.
@@Seegie16 ignorant mindset, you must be one of those Gracie marionnettes,when you train with weapons you don't train full force either, doesn't mean you can't kill someone when serious ... think before you talk
@stfujoerogan The special forces are not the MMA. The fighting style around these periods is effective if you need to take someone down, and kill them. This is no "matchup" as if it was an MMA fight. The Jeet Kune do and such can be effective if used well, stuff that Frank Cucci taught, I watched those videos originally when I was in the SEALs, absolutely is effective, unlike some systema shit. BJJ is also great tbh.
I do SCARS and the U.S. got soft and replaced SCAR decades ago. The original 25 sequences are still in use at BUDS but with those 25 sequences, a person could create ma y others since it goes on reality based and not assumptions like martial arts.
@@thedarwinist672, who has time to roll around on the ground? This video is hand-to-hand combat. I'm sure that the military also has techniques for ground fighting, but that's not what this video is teaching.
@@pehunter1 no, the army literally does bjj as it's primary hand to hand combat. I was in the army and I trained with infantry and rangers. Their hand to hand combat is all brazilian jiu-jitsu.
@@jvazquez7160 and what do soldiers have in common? THEY FIGHT IN PACKS ... what does this mean? THEY CAN AFFORD TO GO TO THE GROUND ... what else do they have? WEAPONS ... apples and oranges to make strawberry shakes that's your kind in a nutshell
The problem i have with all of these videos, the attacker is always min of 2 steps away, i know you start with distance to build confidence speed etc etc, but show it being done close up,
I was trained in Army hand to hand in the 70's. Everything was taught slowly, and "by the numbers". The reason is that this is only to be used in a life or death conflict. It's considered impolite to kill your training partner. Even now, as a senior citizen, I walk with confidence. I know that if some young thug thinks I'm an easy target, I will be happy to provide an attitude adjustment. Edit additional: I was taught that when you throw your opponent to the ground, and you still have a hold on their arm, you snap the arm at his elbow, or finish him by stomping your boot on their head.
Already know this. It is better to never throw a punch. Jujitsu is very effective. I'd rather shoot, no questions asked. If your life is threatened it's either my life or his.
Just saying. It's like the police, I asked an officer the other day wouldn't you use your weapon if a suspect had a weapon. And dont hate bro its just a profile name. Must be former military.
With all due respect Some people dont got guns, I just say it's best to mind your own until someone provokes you or comes up to you unexpectedly. That's when you hit with the good ole.
@@2009blahblah u got to remember one thing. There is a big difference between cage and reality where there is no rules. Single eye gouge will take any one down
@@2009blahblah bro, if your life is in danger and muscle memory kicks in. Some dude can break any dudes neck. But anyone can kill anyone. Especially in a world where people fight with guns or in large groups.
Jamie Phillips, you don't think these techniques work? If you know martial arts, you should notice that the techniques used in this video are from the same ones employed in various styles. I'm sure that the Green Beret who did this video also had knife techniques, ground techniques, and rifle techniques. But that wasn't what he was trying to convey in this video.
@@pehunter1 Try them and let me know how it works for you in a real life scenario. These techniques are just as bad as the ones they teach LEOs. They don't work. Know what works? General techniques adapted to your body learned through tons of sparring against unpredictable opponents. Grappling and striking arts that are simple and effective. MMA has the best, except that they don't incorporate weapons. Add weapons to the training and adjust it accordingly and it is the most effective. These are the training methods used by SOF teams today because they work. I don't blame the guy. Thats what was being taught then. But it wasn't effective at all.
@@brojitsu "unpredictable opponents" ... in bjj classes literally everyone knows one another, so much for your bullcrap logic ... "except that they don't incorprate weapons" ... so basically they might as well be a defenseless baby ...
@@SINdaBlock411 I have used grappling on real fights in and off the job. You can know someone and become familiar with their habits but training is always evolving and there is no way to predict what your opponent will do, even the ones you normally train with. As for weapons, there are many examples of effective use of MMA arts while utilizing weapons. In fact that's what the majority of special operations use today. You can call my logic flawed but my logic is arguing that any skill not tested with active resistance is theory at best. There is no perfect way and nothing will guarantee your victory, but I will stick with utilizing tested methods.
That neck break is being done wrong. The motion is correct but he must first go right then left because that neck is a tough muscle when tensed and it needs to be loosened up a bit.
