Similar to our thrusting inward block in kenpo karate except we're taught not to block below the elbow when blocking on the outside. If its an inside block than you block below the elbow
Good techniques. Though I would call these outside defenses, since you're parrying or blocking the outside of the attacker's arm, rather than the inside. Except for the last, which is a standard split entry from JKD or Kali.
People always say the elbows to knuckle block when defending from straight punches is dumb....but u Kno exactly where the punch is going..... To your face. U just have get ur elbow in the way of the fist by moving it up towards ur face (where the punch will land). Once u time leaning into it you can practically break fingers
What a good way to protect yourself from a fake out punch. Let's say they start off like they are punching with one hand and then punch with the other.
The few fights I have seen ended up in a broken pinky or thumb from punching to the face/head. I have never seen a clean block like this in MMA. I am subscribed here so I respect the teaching. Just have some concerns.
Train MMA guys, dabble in some boxing,kickboxing, bjj , wrestling. There’s a reason you don’t see lots of techniques taught on the internet in high level competition and it’s because they don’t work. This video for example what he shows might work on someone untrained that over extends with punches, doesn’t bring back the hand to the face and doesnt manage distance correctly but if you have someone who knows what their doing, it isn’t going down like that.
Absolutely true. That's why Krav Maga is not a martial art, rather a self defence system. What he's showing here is suitable for entry level practitioners and applicable mostly against untrained average Joes. Once you get to an expert level, you have to learn more sophisticated techniques, that you can use against strikers, grapplers or people with other backgrounds.
I would not consider that a yellow belt technique. Inviting that straight right down the middle. You’re assuming your reaction is going to be quick enough. At a beginners level I highly doubt it. Far better to get bladed and make yourself as small target as possible....aka Tony Blauer SPEAR. I have no problem with bating or drawing them out but at yellow belt??
At some point, you need to hit back. It's hard to punch quickly and change direction so adjusting where you are makes it harder for them to punch and easier for you to counter.
@@richcapo his comment was spot on. My first day I was asked by my instructor to throw a punch so he could demonstrate the proper way to deflect it but he didn't know I had been boxing for 14 years. I didn't telegraph my jab and he didn't see it coming...
It actually helps. Same reason why they make certain noises in Muay Thai fighting. Plus it helps control your breathing so you don't get winded. Don't want to be throwing any kind of punches or kicks holding your breath and making noises helps expel and get the errand better than trying to do it through your nose or quietly.
