hahahahahahahahahahahaha so so so true you made spit up my lunch ahahahhaa i can stop laughing thank you for the one groovass65

I was about to post this and saw your comment , may be he is murr , playing a joke

he really does heheheeeeee!

I said the same

Why did you mess this awesome image of this guy with Murr?!? Now I feel like he lost a bet and is trying to teach defense. God damnit.

Wouldn't it be nice to actually experience a fight or even a car wreck or being thrown from a horse or...whatever. These situations are risky no doubt but how would one ever know about the time dialation (slowing down reaaalllll slllloooooowwww) where there seems to be an enormous amount of time to make decisions? No way jose does any martial art training help one to look as if they are IP MAN!! Grins. Street fighting is an entirely different universe. I remember a few fights as a kid perfectly as if they were yesterday. Everything is crystal clear, I remember every step, where my little brother that was being beat up sat watching, how many people were there yet there was absolutely no hesitation. This one fight protecting my little bro when I was 8 years old, a scrawny as hell little GIRL is one of my most detailed complete memories. No words, nada. I had to jump up on this boy twice as tall as meself, I reached down his back and grabbed the skin of his lower back and ripped it up to his head. Seriously. He threw me down on the back of my head on the concrete and we both went to the emergency room. Him with 70 plus stitches, me with yet another concussion. My little brother was never bothered again well, where we lived then!! I never thought any rationale thought. I do remember as soon as I was told he was in trouble the distinct dizziness, clear pictures of everything and no fear, no pain...nada. So I've had a few circumstances with time slowing way down, the dizziness before a 'street fight', the clear path and even being thrown from a horse gives one the confidence from knowing the amount of time to make decisions (automatically for sure), roll, protect oneself somewhat, knowing there is no pain at all and having to take a few breaths to come back to normal time...to not fear confrontations. Dance, athletics, physical fitness, martial arts are critical to train one's body how to react. But street fighting is an amazingly different world. And close up, rolling on the ground is the best place to be with any opponent. They don't have the room to get momentum and the bigger one is the less flexible and more surprised when a wiry little girl gets in their face, I kid you NOT! Never give them time to even assess you, your strength, your gender! You'll be far more motivated to end a fight than they will and up close you have all the tools at your disposal...the throat, eyes, ears, and groin for starters and one does not need strength to bring a big person down at all!! Surprise is POWERFUL.

+stormy well im not gonna read all that, but its good to train the body for endurance so when getting hit u can still stand up from the punch when possible.

I KNOW, my goodness! That was quite the little essay. Grins. Hey, I was in perfect shape, ready for a punch and well, when one allows a hit they learn very quickly not to let that happen again. UGH. That IS the difference between small and large. That is why I get so close they are unable to hit like that. UGH. I was talking to 'little people'...not Jack Reacher types! ha ha

Great comment Johnny, very well said. Speed does indeed play a huge role in self-defense. It's great to have your input on this video. Take care and stay safe.

@@codereddefense, Thank you for your response. I commented as I did because of what I experienced over the years with respect to my physical 'health' as well as through the illness called "Aging". one of the things that I discovered was that the normal losses associated with illness or age could be easily compensated by training to become "Functionally Fast" or "Functionally Strong". ISo much useful knowledge is available if one can learn to think differently about how they approach their goal(s). Scientia Potentia Est Be Well

I think it is a good video. Also I believe there is some truth to what you say. But I'd rather be twice the size then twice as fast. When we talk about 5'8" 150 range vs a 6'4" 260, boxing, kickboxing, and most traditional arts will have many flaws. They still help your odds, any training does that. But at that size difference if the smaller person messes up once it is highly likely he will be in a horrible position. Like the student who tried this technique. He got hit multiple times before he successfully grabbed. Very likely he would've been out. So if your watching this just know you have to practice it if you want it to have any effect. My personal opinion is the smartest most well trained person in distance management will usually win the fight. BJJ philosophy "Whoever manages the distance, manages the damage that can be dealt. I believe if you train traditional arts such as Karate, Taekwondo, Wing Chun, etc. or boxing for 5 years you will have a 40% chance of winning a fight like this against a person with a similar age/build as you but 110pounds bigger with no fighting background. However I believe it's more around 80% in the same scenario but training BJJ. Also I believe Judo would be even better then that against someone within 60pounds of you.

Yes, all your points are well taken and do apply to the "External" Methods, but there are a lot of things that you might not be taking into account. In any case, some of the Old Teachings say that Size, Strength and even Speed are Natural conditions and that no reliance should be placed on them . . .and not without good reason. If all that was required to win a fight was Size, then smaller people should just lie down and accept defeat, and if developing Fighting Skills were useless in being able to defend against a larger opponent produced the same outcome, why bother? If you are on the receiving end of an attack that is over before you can even react to it, never mind respond, then you could lose your contest before you're even aware that you've lost your fight. I base my comments on over 50 years of experience and Research into these ,matters, so my opinion would most likely be different from yours, but it is still nothing more than my opinion. Be Well

Surprise and ferocity beats speed, strength, and everything else. Go fucking berserk like your only purpose is to kill everything in the room and you won't even know what you're doing but it will work. Just the growling alone will cause people to evacuate the area. Only problem with this is it seems to unlock all the energy in your body all at once so that you're burnt out in just minutes but you have superhuman strength and also the damage that will be done to one's opponent will in all likelihood be terrifying and fatal. This will never happen in a training scenario you have to be doing something like I was doing running around in a blizzard in forests far north miles away from any humans facing off against wild forest animals.

@@asura8495 damn vermicious, chill.

Well that part was more the 5 seconds

Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that

Does this mean not to fight

This is solid advice but also consider that you have to know and be very aware of when someone is putting you into a position of compromise or not and to react before then. There's some "Black Israelite" videos up here on youtube where they do street preaching and the moment someone even reaches out to touch them or their stuff they react fast and usually with a slap. You can't hesitate or try to talk the person out of things if they're getting too close you must get the first strike in. In the military you don't have a second chance if the fight isn't over in seconds someone else comes along and bayonets or shoots you. All training should be aimed at having the fight over before the aggressor can even really start it by making a move.

@@FringeWizard2 - You are correct. This assumes that you are not surprised. In my daily activities where ever I may be, I try to put myself in relation to other people constantly where I have the optimal escape route or most strategically profitable place. I don't look for trouble, but I do automatically calculate weak points and balance deficit locations for each person I am walking towards or who may be approaching my body. So basically, I don't know if they will surprise attack, but if they do, my body is at a location where they have to do extra steps to be able to even position themselves for an attack. And by that time, it's too late, because I will definitely recognize that the person is in place for an attack. It's all theory of course. It is impossible to live in such a mind state every waking moment. You do what you can and keep cultivating strong habits so that it is first nature and not mentally taxing.

Exactly, I carry a concealed long bow....nobody expects to get shot with an arrow...element of surprise.....

It’s a tactic

Thank you Eddie for the feedback, it's much appreciated.

Thanks for watching. Take care and stay safe.

Hahahaha bra lol

Great point and question Robert. We do like to move in a "Y" angle behind our opponent to establish chest to back. But, usually we like to strike first and then quickly move in a Y angle to go behind the attacker. What you do from there is up to you. You can go for the choke or you can eye gouge the attacker and go for a neck crank it it's a life threatening situation. Hope this helps. Thanks again for your support and for bringing that up. In this video, we talk about it a little bit: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4HQcfnZJyIA.html Stay safe.

Thanks David for the tips. Stay safe.

First opp kick em in the balls

@@anthonylowery5673 I can tell you haven't actually fought at all or you're used to fighting with really weak people. ProTip: You can kick me in the balls and I won't even flinch. It doesn't even hurt and it doesn't really do anything to the person. If you want to actually fuck up a person you kick their kneecaps which breaks their legs.

@@FringeWizard2 yeah there are plenty of spots more sensitive than balls. I've never actually fought anyone either and even I know that. Go for the kidneys or underside of the arms, or the kneecaps, hell, get low and punch em in the ass. Anything to screw up their flow and then just rapid fire everywhere.

You're welcome. You brought up some good points.

Taba Allday it's ight bro you'll get him a other time

...Bruce Lee was 5' 7" - What would he have done? He wouldn't have let it get that far. I imagine a hundred options based on how it began, but an intercepting fist means not going on the defensive by allowing your attacker the aggressor's advantage. - Once the scuffle is inevitable (and learning to read the situation, and potential for escalation, is 1/2 the fight!) you must take the initiative, especially against a larger attacker and stop the threat until you no longer feel threatened BEFORE it's HIS fight. Not that this situation in the video could never happen, just try not to allow it to, and end up playing into your attacker's hands.

Im 5' 7" too and i think bruce lee would disagree with his one inch punch.

There are effective ways to prevent a strong taller man from slamming you on your face.

That only works against John Cena

that was my favorite street move and it worked on large people.

Take some real advice from a spook (my role is mostly psychological operations but I know everything about everything). You have one strike to take down your enemy or you're fucked. Don't even consider any situations where the fight isn't over in seconds. Any video you see where you're blocking or getting locked up is wrong. If someone even reaches towards you, you react then, you don't let them get a hold on you. Even if it's just to step back and give them a slap and tell them to not touch you, like you see in those Black Israelite videos up on youtube where they're preaching about how they're the real jews, and sometimes people get stupid and get too close or try to touch them or their stuff. You have to position yourself properly and you have to be ready to fight without thinking, no delays, and you have to have timing right where you know when you have to act or else you're in a vulnerable/compromised position. Also if there's multiple attackers try to line them up, keep it so only one can engage at a time, you don't want to be attacked by two guys at exact same time. Be extremely aware of these things that you maintain an advantage.

@@FringeWizard2 Thank you very much. I'm 6'2.5

Listen to this gentleman!

Sensei Andrew Thanks Andrew for your comment, it's appreciated. Glad that this self-defense video is helpful. Stay safe

First off Abdul, there would be surprise. Let them think you are a scared (3'4" dude or gal), cry, whine for mommy and the moment you are within those gonads, let 'em have it. Never forget teeth, never forget your entire body weight. Let's see, I used to be 5'2" and now am 5' 0"...that is just 1'6" higher than (you)? 6'4" guys are SLOW, no little person has ever been within their grasp, they will be SURPRISED (as well as wrestling with the reputation of hurting someone so much and that hesitation will get you right up in their face where they will have the dickens getting you off their body before you can do serious damage. Of course, if there is the chance to run THAT WOULD BE FIRST. If that doesn't work play the mamma bird routine, acting injured, scared out of your mind, retarded, whatever. It'll be the acting audition of your life and your audience having relied on bigness all their life, is so easily fooled. I'd rather take on a humongous dude than someone of my own mindset! Always have your backpack, courier bag with something extremely heavy in it, grins! I took on a guy that was twice my size (as a little girl protecting my little brother) by jumping up into his arms, face reached down grabbed the skin of his back and held on while he threw me backwards onto the sidewalk. Yeah, I got a concussion, but he got 70 something stitches and NEVER bothered my brother or sisters ever again. Wouldn't even walk close. It was all done quickly no thinking. I chose (if able) the big guys in martial arts classes just because I HAD THE advantage. Kid you not.

Funniest thing ive read all day

never underestimate the speed of a 6'4 i am that lenght and i can tell you when i start hitting all they hear is the wind haha.

Great point, thanks Jeff for sharing your feedback about this self defense topic. Stay safe

Right, agreed. Also. No attempts to trip, legwork to flip, Judo, Muay Thai or even Shotokan in the clinch, no attempts here to use the legs to trip and throw...I don't understand this here. No incorporation of trips or throws. I appreciate the effort and sincerity here, but this lacks techniques that can be applied, but are not. (?) Fights usually go to the ground. From throws in the clinch. None of this here. Whatever...

On point for a knee to the groin if they're really in close. But a kick even that high would be wasted motion when milliseconds count. It would be more economical go for the knee or below if they're too close for you to go higher and drive them back. It doesn't take much force to break one's knee for a skillful enough kicker if the opportunity is there, but an easier target would be better for an inexperienced fighter. Getting in any strike first is better than getting hit first. Really , the best strategy is to *stay away* from aggressive idiots in social situations, so if they do decide to target you you they're out of range. If an unexpected scenario arises, I instinctively make distance while maintaining a defensive "back off" posture while *well* out of range, being ready respond to *any* move, keeping in mind where their legs are. In a stand-off that sends the message they're not dealing with a pushover, and is almost always enough. Always has been for me. If they're far enough away a feint hand strike (that's really preparation for a block) and kick to the mid-section at the first sign of motion could drive them back and have the fight broken up or get out of there before anything happens if it's a neutral scene. Again, this requires less skill than readiness. The element of surprise - whether physical, psychological, or even distraction - is *huge* in any fighting scenario. Any bar fighter would be expecting a flurry of fists, but a kick to the knee could literally break their leg without their being prepared in the least before they even properly start their head-hunting. The one problem is this couldn't be properly practiced, because a slight slip could seriously injure the sparring partner!

@@MrOhjok It's a 15 minute video focusing on taking the wind out of a specific attack. The idea is to establish control even when not counterattacking, so you can take it from there with confidence. There are plenty of other videos for all the stuff you mentioned, even on this channel I'm sure.

Thanks Mark! Just checkout out your RU-vid channel. You got great videos on there. Keep up the good work ;)

Great self defense tactic! Thanks for sharing your experience with us, it's appreciated.

Stick to your Krav Maga environment, buddy, you're not the guy to be teaching people about the 'in's and out's' of fighting on the street. Everyone, and I mean everyone in the combat community knows Krav Maga is far more of a financial model, than a thoroughly genuine self defense system. I'm not saying there aren't some genuine experts in your system, but they tend to posses higher belts in Brazilian Jiujitsu, be genuine Muay Thai practitioners, etc.

In the mean time, if people want to honestly learn how to defend themselves, go to a reputable MMA club, there's no better tried-and-tested format.

@@straightline76 Krav maga is a self-defense system based on military and civilian experience. They go straight to the point. MMA, BJJ, muay thai is about pleasing the referee like tennis or football. Obviously the fitness and skill you gain from those sports will help in self-defense but most people don't care about those sports and just need some brief instruction to increase their odds of survival. Steroid bodybuilding will also give you an armor of muscle and strength that will allow you to fold most people but becoming a steroid bodybuilder is not practical for most people just like MMA is not. The people saying "no, this is the best" are high testosterone males who don't care about anyone's safety but only their own ego and the average person is the one who ends up suffering as they try to navigate the sea of hyperbole, loud mouthed radio jocks, overconfident third world wrestlers, chi masters and what not. Every marketing guy who toots his own horn always leaves something out. Self-defense instruction is an evolving system and its knowledge base is based on military, police and hospital records as well as anecdotal information. Combat sports like any sport will keep on evolving and the athletes get fitter and more proficient but they are also highly specialized and their objective as athletes is very different from survival. Having athletes, who are essentially entertainers on the highest level, take over and overly influence self-defense science is like taking an actor from a hospital based tv-series and having them tell real doctors how to do their job. It is OK for self-defense science to study sports for extra clues but any modifications and additions to self-defense must be made by the self-defence community. I have taken a judo class where the guy submitted me by forcing my face against his ass/genitals. This goofball move is also BJJ and effective in competition and since I realize that it is not my job to change the rules of judo or BJJ I'm not going to go and tell them how to do their sport and that's why athletes should not go around preaching about self-defense.

You're still trying to convince yourself, which is understandable, you're dedicated to your thing, which is always commendable. But you're trying to 'spin' a topic, which anyone who knows anything about this subject in any realistic depth, understands that you're simply and demonstratably incorrect. Are you based in Israel? Because I'm due to visit there soon, and will happily prove my point to you in person. Of course, learning is a two way street, so it'd be an opportunity to learn a couple of things from you, and the guys and girls you train with.
