Knock Someone Out Every Time | Ultimate MUST LEARN Knockout for a Street Fight 

that smile he makes every time

I just chopped my kid to sleep. Finally, some peace and quie... wait, he's up again...

Great technique. I'm going to try this out tonight on my old Mother-in-law, who has been living with us since Lock-down.

Instructions unclear: My friend is dead

"Don't try this! It is very dangerous!!" *Does it 12 times on 1 person*

Great video as usual, but I had one technical correction to add. The technique does not work by restricting the blood flow to the brain. There are additional large arteries that provide sufficient blood flow to the brain to maintain consciousness. The Carotid Restraint and strike works because it activates the Carotid Sinus, which monitors blood pressure in the artery. The compression from a squeeze or strike is read by the Sinus as a dangerous increase in blood pressure and in order to protect the body it dilates the blood vessel and shuts down non essential functions including consciousness. It basicilly makes you faint. As a former Law Enforcement Defensive Tactics trainer the Carotid Restraint was always under attack as a law enforcement tool by anti-police organizations as a choking technique that restricted blood flow to the brain. The inaccurate description of how these very effective techniques work is why they are currently banned by most police departments that don't have the will or desire to fight back and protect law enforcements use of these tools. For more information see: Dr. John Pi, Bilateral Vascular Restraint, Facts and Myths, Survival Sciences,LLC

Elbows are EXTREMELY underestimated in close fights.

Years ago I was a kickboxer and I'll never forget a fight I had in an elimination tournament. My very first fight I was hit with the forearm in that artery with a mistimed overhand right and I hit the canvas like a ton of bricks so i know being hit there works. I managed to beat the count and actually won a decision but I can see how useful it is and being hit with a smaller surface area such as the blade of the hand in the same spot would penetrat even better and be more likely to put and keep them down.

1:10 The most caring choke hold I've ever seen 😂

I love how you describe a brutal technique then smile

That killer smile gets me everytime! Lots of respect, Shifu

I love using the rear naked choke, I've used it a decent amount of times while working security at bars and events. It's the best tool that I received while training in Brazilian jiu jitsu for the short time that I trained, and I hold it dear to my heart. I appreciate this video, because it uses the same concept, but it's applied by the use of strikes. I like the science of fighting, because no matter how tough an opponents head might be, it's going to shut down without being supplied with blood and oxygen. Fight sciences approach the human anatomy the same way that a mechanic disassembles an engine step by step. It doesn't even seem violent sometimes.

Wow thanks! This really helped me discipline my dog.

Been following him for years now, and this man is unmatched, that smile is like the sunshine after then storm that just hit that dude standing in front. amazing

I have to say that I have always been impressed by the videos you have been putting out. I prefer to use open hand strikes for defense in most cases because you minimize the risk to breaking your hands. The open hand also tends to spread out the effects of the strikes. Keep these videos coming!

Great video... well explained ;)

The problem with this is that its a LOT easier when someone is just standing there, NO adrenal dump and ZERO aggression.. I have dropped many guys with one shot and others it took many.. Never TRAIN with a one shot mentality... Its a hell of lot different out there in the TAR Arena than in the dojo... With that said, nothing is more successful more times than pre-emption!

I love your presentations ! I possess a black belt in Okinawan karate and have studied for 25 years .Your demonstrations are direct and easy to follow ! Keep up the great work !

Thank you Sifu Mark for this excellent knock out technique as well as a great explanation as to how and why it works. Awesome vid, thank you again! Peace.

These are amazing videos. thank!

I lpve when their like "im hitting hitting hitting" as if the target wont flinch or fight back lmao

I like how he smiles in all his videos like “now go F somebody up” lol

Open hand strike to the throat never fails. Excellent video.

Great demonstration and explanation. You guys always represent Wing Chun properly. Much respect mates!

I always knew the Austin Powers Judo Chop would serve a purpose one day.

Sooo, what you are saying is that karate chops have been legit all this time? I guess Star Trek was right after all.

Best real-life instruction on line !

Very educational. Thank you sir.

He always has that "try me" smile

I never think much of Wing Chun to be honest but I find your video's realistic and I see value in them

Great instruction. Awesome! Thanks!

Simplicity and Efficiency make everything look beautiful

I like that you like you were a regular guy but you worked very hard to get where you’re at now.Hell Yeah Hat’s Off

It works, it helps my wife get to sleep every night

Thanks this is really helping me to write very descriptive fight scenes.💪 Your smile is swoon-worthy by the way! 🥴

I wish I could ever get a chance to personally trained by you, I'm in so need.. But it's my personal situation that I cannot. I find your videos and explainations so helpful. You are bringing positive change. Thankyou so much.👍🏼🙏🏼

Tried this on my little brother, worked like a charm! Thanks👍

thank god someone speaks a bit of sense here. Good video (and i dont see a lot of good ones).

Love your videos! You guys are SPOT ON!!! Thank you for posting! OSSU!

Brilliant! Excellently demonstrated and explained.

Well if I'm going to have the shit kicked out of me, I want it done by a guy with a big smile (friendly) on his face. lol

Love your channel Sifu. More than just restricting the blood flow you’ve actually got special receptors in the carotid artery (baroreceptors) which when stimulated slow your heart rate and drop your blood pressure. I suspect this is a large part of the mechanism. (Medical Dr and Wing Chun beginner).

Great stuff, thank you Sifu!

Best video yet in explanation of This technique. Well defined examples. Great video mate🌍✌️

Literally the definition of a human “off” button

Hi Mark. I really enjoy your reality-based videos and often share them with students. Keep it up. I have experienced the effect of the carotid strike first hand and I dropped. I would add that it is not just the restriction of blood flow but also the effect the strike has on the vagus nerve. Question though. I watched your video "bodybuilders vs skinny" and it got me thinking about how effective a carotid strike would be against a someone with exceptionally well developed sternocleidomastoid muscles?

Your content truly helped me 🙌🏾🙌🏾

"From my experience" get into fights regularly?

This never even occured to me good to know and its much easier and more comfortable thn throwing a punch.

Yep...same method used in 007 James Bond movies. Been a practitioner my whole life and i love your instructions. You do not mess around and your knowledge is vast. Save a micro second when your hand is on their arm after a block and instead of flipping hand over for strike,immediately strike with hand in palm down position using your tucked thumb side of hand. In a real fight,every second counts,of course,so even if i miss when i swing, as i draw back my arm,i try to strike on the way back. Every strike in one direction,has the possibility of a second strike,or diversion strike on the way back. Kind of like a bullet that when it misses you,it immediately comes back from behind. Does not always work,but NOTHING always works.

This is the best video and explanation of this subject I have seen to date. Well done sir.

that smile is always knocking me full of laughter

He has such a beautiful smile for such a deadly man xD

Always brilliant and full of useful information.

Well presented... Thank you!

1:02 - That's actually the jugular vein. Close enough, though, since the carotid artery is right underneath it.

What if you sneak up behind someone? You know, “like in the movies”?

Excellent. Great moves. Thank you.

Great info ! Thx

Sweet, my Gran has no chance now.. 👋👋

do I have to smile like a smack head at the end too?

That grin on your face when you explain savage strikes.

Superb info and presentation. Edge of Hand is indeed a great strike.

I feel so bad for your partner 😭💀

Good stuff! The whole neck is a great and overlooked target - a good strike anywhere, including the jaw just below the ear, the neck in general, down to the trapezius, is very painful, and shocking to the recipient - chops are best, but a fist works too. Then there's the back of the neck (aka rabbit punch), onto the front of the neck, aka the throat... Not good for sparring of course, but superb against an assault. Great videos!

First off I know I'm not the baddest mofo walking but I am trained. Taught by my father who taught hand to hand combat in the military, boxing coach, wrestling coach etc. This channel is by far the most on point combat info.

Good show old chap! great channel!

This definitely works......when I was into the Arts, my instructor did this to me and with the small amount of force caused both my knees to buckle.

If fixing to try to knock myself out lol

LOVED it😊... these moves

Awesome!

With all due respect, Sifu, I would like to nitpick. ;-) Your description of the mechanism of the effects of a carotid sinus strike is not exactly correct, in that the mechanism is slightly different from a blood strangle "choke", as the blood supply IS interrupted but it is mainly NOT via the same restriction preventing blood flow in the carotids. The KO effect in fact comes from 1 or both of 2, TWO, mechanisms: sudden compression near the baroreceptors [pressure detectors] in the carotids, making them send a signal to the brain that there is dangerously high blood pressure which then triggers the fainting response by the brain to get blood pressure down fast AND/OR disruption of the vagus nerve which regulates the heartbeat rate, causing a stutter in the heartbeat. Both cause a drop in blood supply and a nervous collapse. Naturally a carotid strike can restrict the blood flow directly but the effect is so quick as to be minor, unless the artery does not open up again.* Perhaps insignificant a point as the effects are usually the same, but it does mean one can get a stun from a simple push into the carotid sinus, and a strike is instant and does not require the same continued pressure as a strangle [or as the BJJ people now call them, a "choke"]. The stun effect can take a second or more to really kick in, unlike a concussion KO, which is a disadvantage but they are usually still incapacitated to a degree before then. as you know. You are going to hate me! I have not finished! You note that doubling up, alternating opposing side carotid strikes, is very effective, which is true and good teaching, but, again, I don't think the real reason is entirely as you state, like compressing both sides in a choke. My dim mak teacher said that it is a nervous and/or chi effect, neural shock from opposing sides of the body, that works synergistically, not per se to do with having both carotids' blood flow interrupted, though of course it would seem on a double carotid strike that would help with a stun so I guess it is a bit of both. One can get the same synergy from other parts of the body [e.g.arm and opposing side neck, leg and opposing side arm etc.]. *This can happen after a strangle/choke too which obviously could be fatal... RNC's have killed people after they were released. Of course, while the carotid attack avoids the dangers, you rightly note, of hitting the jaw it has dangers of its own, not least the risk of brain damage when they fall KOd onto concrete, not to mention the risk of a stroke or even major haemorrage or a heart attack from disruption to the vagus nerve. It is not the safest of techniques!

This doesn't explain proper technique for the Shuto knife hand, just one place to strike with it. Anyone who uses this without conditioning and strike training is more likely to fail. Proper form of the Shuto should make all the muscles in the forearm flex making the hand and forearm into a single edge. The small finger of the hand should be pushing outward slightly with the rest of the fingers pushing onto the small finger. The index finger should be slightly bent and the thumb pushing against the index knuckle. The knife hand should be conditioned by repeatedly striking a hard flat surface 5 times daily to start for the rest of your life. This is the iconic karate chop.

Thank you for the lesson.

Awesome thank you

" I knocked him out " said no Wing Chun guy ever.

my wife now knows to make my dinner on time! thank you

Awesome I love this stuff keep it up

Really helpful thank you

i try it to my self and it makes me dizzy

Spot on!

Great video !

hi, what do you mean when you say "in my experience"? did you use it many tines in real fights?

I'm scared my mom might find this video

great stuff !!!

Very informative thank you

This technique can crush air pipe if you missed it is too dangerous it could land you in the cell for life.

I'm going drinking at the bars tonight, I'll get back to you on whether this actually works or just makes people mad

These are actual facts 💪💯

That’s why protect yourself with your guard up is vital in a fight.

i'm not shure, but i think the vagus nerve is the reason for the knockout and not the artery.... but it was a nice video anyway ;)

Tonight, I'm gonna go to my local bar and try and start some shit and give this a try. Thanks!

I believe that EVERYONE sould learn how to knock someone out without hurting them. You don't wanna kill people . You wanna incapacitate them without causing too much damage. Thank you for this video, man. As long as I don't hurt or cripple the person offending me or loved ones, I'll sleep fine.

The best video, thanks.

Great advice

If this technique is used with let's say excessive force, could it possibly result in someone's death?

Sounds good but have you ever seen this work in a real fight?

Thank you Sifu. Appreciate. Regards from South Africa

This is a great channel!

The problem is..you might kill him...this is an old samurai technique..which is prohibited to use,unless you want him dead?..
