As a military combatives/street self defense instructor (ARCS Self Defense & Combatives) and as a law enforcement officer, I have to say that this is some good stuff and I'm not easily impressed by vary many of my "competitors". Good stuff here guys!
Not sure who'd be stupid enough to take Lee on, but I guess there are some serious nutcases out there. The problem is that he looks very much like one of them :D
How can this work? It wouldn't work in MMA as you would be penalised for illegal strikes to the groin and neck, and MMA fanboys tell us if it doesn't work in the cage it doesn't work outside it right? :-) Now to be serious, simple + brutal = effective. Excellent stuff.
+WOODY210363 I typed a smiley at the end to show that what I was saying was a joke. I was taking the p*ss out of MMA fanboys who constantly tell people 'if it doesn't work in the ring' it doesn't' work full-stop.
It wouldn't work with an mma fighter because he wouldn't let you come this close in the first place. The point is not that it has to work in the cage but how it would work in a fight and what he shows here is not more than a suckerpunch in the groin. That's no technique, everybody can do that... 😒
I did some Krav Maga training a while ago: I liked the explosive speed it teaches and how it gets you used to multiple opponents and the rush of fighting, but I thought the techniques were quite poor compared to other martial arts.
brottarnacke Its just a waste of time to produce videos about how to suckerpunch someone. Anyone can do that. Better to show how to defend yourself when NOT having the option of suckerpunching.
I would really hate to have awkward hallway blocking moments with him. You both accidentally side step each other twice, give a nervous laugh, and suddenly you're beaten to thefloor for a misunderstanding. OH dear.
Yes. Lee is very good but the downside of a combative mind-set is the hair trigger mentality. There was a time many years ago when I was training in excess of 20 hours a week in various systems and doing quite a bit of combative type training but I had to re-evaluate things a little when someone asked me the time and because he moved in a way that triggered my training, I damn near took his head off. Fortunately, I recognised the false positive in time and didn't hit him - but I was moving.
@@baldieman64 I understand how that can happen, you immediately recognized he wasn't a threat so you did good on both ends. Recognizing and reacting to a potential threat and then pulling back when your assessment didn't match up. Shows quick mental and physical actions.
That situation and another couple of incidents made me think about perception management a little more. Despite what Lee suggests here, stepping back, adopting a defective posture and using verbal de-escalation techniques has a lot of merit.Yes, you may slightly increase the risk of him getting the jump on you but in the eyes of bystanders and possibly jurors watching CCTV footage, you are much less likely to be seen as the aggressor - even if you hit first. BTW: If you like this stuff, check out Mick Coup.
@@baldieman64 That's the point of training. You will act the way you train, especially when you are reinforcing that information, and conditioning yourself for such actions.
Yes but it's also important to temper that training. Had I hit him and killed him (all too easy), I would have potentially lost 10 years or more of my life to a manslaughter charge.
He spent way to much time talking about what he wants to happen he’s going to hit him and he’s going bend over in this exact way. My two take aways from this vid are 1. Surprise is awesome 2. Control the head. Everything else about the sequence is not helpful imo.
