Dude. Ofc nobody is supposed to be helpess, but these "self defence tips" wont work against anyone with some resistance. If you want to learn how to defend yourself, take some real martial arts classes, don't listen to these bullshit tips made by a fraud and the biggest joke in the martial art community.
The Girl That Ain't Playin you realize most criminals drag you back when their choking you this "teacher" has been debunked and shunned by the Martial arts community for endangering women's lives go look up mma fighters try women's self defense
@@NACtheMC Except the "self defense moves", this woman is teaching do NOT work. Pain compliance does not work on someone hyped up on adrenaline, which an attacker already has built up in anticipation of making the attack. In COMBAT... you have to do actual damage to your opponent, or deflect & evade. McDojo Woo will just make you a helpless little bitch.
The Girl That Ain't Playin “Not everyone wants to be a helpless little bitch” “and then run away” Hmm those two don’t seem to go together. Anybody with any martial arts experience would choke you out faster then you can yell “rape”. If you ever teach this bullshit to anyone you should be ashamed.
And after you strike your attacker they laugh, pick you up and throw you on the ground like a rag doll. The whole "Women's self-defense" learn a couple techniques thing is a joke. Go to a BJJ class and actually learn how to get a 200 lbs. guy off you by training it for countless hours against a resisting opponent. There's no easy way other then actually learning how to fight. Even armed self-defense takes time and effort.
Women PLEASE DO NOT use these techniques against a fully grown man. It takes years of training to properly and consistently land an effective elbow like the one that is shown in this video, and by that level of proficiency there would be other, more prudent weapons to attack with. Furthermore, DO NOT ASSUME that kicking a man in the balls will deter him, let alone the shin. All past history of attacks have shown that these types of techniques only seek to further aggravate the attacker into being even more violent and aggressive. I am not saying not to defend yourself, but please take real self defense classes with people who can SHOW YOU these techniques working in real time. Test and verify every technique before you are confident that it could work in a real situation. This information as a standalone instruction is dangerous to give to women who do not know how to otherwise defend themselves. Doing these techniques are most likely going to put you in more trouble during a violent attack than save you. Take real classes, please.
Well said.... the only thing I can add is, That most people avoid talking about either in this video or others and that's about: FEAR!! When FEAR Kicks in it screws up your thinking process, you start to panic, you can not think straight, you get nervous and fidgety.. The ONLY way to control or actually use your fears as a positive reinforcement is to practice over and over and then face it over and over in a simulated manner. This is not going to happen over night.... Don't let anyone tell you otherwise... So get yourself some real training in a Self Defense School....
If you can jab a guy in the throat, he does NOT know how to throw hands, your chin is supposed to be tucked down so your forehead points forwards, this makes it a lot harder to hit the chin, and especially the throat behind the chin.
@@Mrraerae not to mention if he's choking you, chances are he's shaking the shit out of you as he does, making it virtually impossible to do this move she recommends.
use your nails....go for the eyes...shove it right in....always strike when they are talking...their attention is elsewhere...Then run...you wont get anywhere with this video.
This lady is going to get people hurt. Just watched another video about defending a choke. Literally everything she said is the opposite of what you should do. Stop it lady! You’re making this shit up
With all due respect, this video needs to be taken down. It has ZERO real-world applicability. ESPECIALLY that choke hold. The choke hold is NOT even applied the right way and does and does not resemble a real situation. Furthermore, it is completely known that none of these moves have been tested in real simulations. For example, someone putting you in a REAL CHOKE hold, not simply placing the arm on the shoulder as was done here. This is not even about not liking content, this is about horribly misleading information that could get someone injured, or killed.
women of the world: please disregard this as a possibility in real life, not only are the moves hard to try in any kind of real situation but you're only going to fuel the attacker's wish to attack you if you try them
what he says is true, i tried this on my brother and it was very difficult and i asure you i'm a pretty strong girl, so think twice before parroting feminazi shit please
***** its funny how you can read a stupid emotional response to a man(at least i assume the original commenter is a man) and assume female. coming from a woman, thats funny
The 2.5k people who liked are very naive to believe this is very informative but it’s very misleading due to improper technique of defence. Just take boxing and ju jitsu class and a little of weight training to make you feel more confident and feel safer knowing for sure what to do in these situations.
I don't think that last one with hair pulling would not make someone let go. If anything you would get pulled even more, if they don't let go on the first strike
I read somewhere that if someone grabs you by the hand and tries to pull you away, instead of you pulling away from them, use that energy of the pull to go towards them and strike.
Why I'm here? I'm a 14 year old girl who some call a whore simply because I was harrased by some guys when I coudn't defend myself. This is very painful to me as a teen girl and now I don't know how to fix things. I was in a pool when they harrased me and I couldn't do much. I recieved a neck injury when all of this happened. I wanna learn at least some self defense in order for this not to happen again...
I hope your neck gets better! And i agree that you should learn self defense. I'm also gonna learn at next year's summer because SO MANY BOYS AT OUR SCHOOL ARE DIRTY MINDED.
Train in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai kickboxing. The latter would help in a "pool situation". The former is the most effective anti-rape system ever invented. Look into them.
as far as self-defense is concerned, there should be no such thing as women's self-defense, but just self-defense. the guy's life and well-being is just as important as the woman's. if what's shown in this video is something every woman should know, then it's something that every guy should know as well.
Self-defense in itself its bullshit 99% of the time. You either know how to defend yourself because you know how to fight or you don't. In first case why not just take bjj or boxing or even judo classes. There are no magic tricks.
XD yes most things sold as SD are BS. And yes, the difference between fighting withouth rules and self defense is more on the pourpouse of the techniques more than the techniques themselves, a punch is a punch whether is self defense or bullying. About bjj, box, etc, I think they are great bases for self defense, but need to be completed, they are incomplete (rules, awareness and avoidance, blabla) Anyway, bjj or box are ages beyond this video on effectivity.
It’s a disgrace that people like this take advantage of vulnerable people by teaching them this total CRAP and taking their money. I remember when UFC first cam out and everyone said now everyone will see what’s real. Well, people don’t care about what’s real!
I knew exactly she was a fraud by her elbow movement. You have to open your hand for an effective and powerful elbow strike, closing your hand will put stress on your forearm muscles thus weakening your strike velocity and could lead more to being hurt than hurting your attacker.
Also, if someone's got you in a chokehold, you can grab the fingers/hand/wrist and twist or bend them as hard as you can. That's a sensitive area and you're taking care of the immediate threat (the arm that's wrapped around your neck). But anyway, cool video, I love how you guys are diversifying!
I once broke my best friends wrist! (Accidentally!) I really just twisted it and didn't even apply much force or anything, I got so surprised later on when she told me it was broken.
No no no and no. If you can grab the fingers/hand/wrist you are not being choked. How does that work if I apply the choke properly and hide the hand behind the head? I guarantee that you will not be able to touch my fingers/hand/wrist.
My cousin and I were walking, we were going to my auntie's house and we just felt unsafe because were both girls and we didn't have any things with us so we thought about buying a pepper spray...I believe most of us women should have a pepper spray and a little knowedge about self-defense so we could protect ourselves whenever we need/have to! for self-defense this video helped me a lot, didn't have to watch a video about self-defense for 5mins+
Jenny Ferguson But in most of the countries where pepperspray is banned you can buy dogpepperspray it is normally for animals but it has the same effect at humans... and it's legal
OK Pepper Spray, Dog Spray whatever.. So you're about to be assaulted and FEAR kicks in, some how you pull out the Pepper Spray from your bag in time and just spray.. You're safe right? Nope what if the WIND is blowing into your FACE? You just pepper sprayed yourself.. This might work if you always walk with the wind to your back, and you can get the Pepper Spray out of your bag or pocket in time.. Here's a problem most people avoid talking about either in this video or others and that's about: FEAR!! When FEAR Kicks in it screws up your thinking process, you start to panic, you can not think straight, you get nervous and fidgety.. The ONLY way to control or actually use your fears as a positive reinforcement is to practice over and over and then face it over and over in a simulated manner. This is not going to happen over night.... Don't let anyone tell you otherwise... So get yourself some real training in a Self Defense School....
So your saying if a guy puts his hand on my shoulder or grabs my wrist I should attack him physically? What if the strike doesn't phase him or have the desired effect? I'm now in a fist fight with a guy who will probably be much larger and stronger than me and could potentially still have hold of my wrist. I don't know much about self defence but if a guy knocks me out because I 'technically struck him first' what happens to me after I'm unconscious? Ju Turn and just go you advise? well if I do that let's hope to god I've knocked him out cold otherwise I've just given my back to a very angry male attacker.
It helps if someone on the other side of the line calls the police asap, but I wouldnt rely on that alone, as CCTV shows most attacks happening in too little time for the police to appear.
What rubbish. I mean, most women's self defense courses are utter nonsense but this one takes not just the cake - it takes the whole cake factory AND all surrounding real estate for a radius of 60 light years.
Surely you want to information to make the objectively safer, rather than make them "feel empowered". Maybe try and teach them effective self defence...
If someone’s holding up you by your shoulder how the hell are you gonna elbow in the head? Theirs about 18,000 other things I could mention but I better not waist everyone’s time. Please don’t try this stuff.
I prefer to bite them, or, if you have long nails like me, i always file them into stilettos, for stratching. Just make sure your nails are healthy are hard.
I've never stopped trying to beat my opponent when elbowed in the ribs or kicked in the shin. This is gonna get someone killed. Go train realistically, and train every day.
good one but a gun can get you killed aswell...did you know blades are quicker than bullets..read up on it..plus a attacker could have a gun too then your in a shoot out and the possibility of death is higher.
This person has been or "teacher" has been shunned by the Martial arts community for endangering women's lives go look up mma fighters try women's self defense
I don't have a problem with the first part of trying to avoid a fight, however the way in which you try to defend yourself is shameful. It's clear to me that you don't understand how to fight, you need to be smart and relentless. As far as the "kick your own ass" part a leg sweep would be more effective although elbowing is a great way to defend in this situation, one elbow won't do the trick. As I said before you need to be relentless and you'll need to throw multiple elbows and not the kind you showed in the video, you need to throw an elbow that's parallel to the floor that way it gets great acceleration and gives you enough breathing room for you to do a take down. You can step to the side and bend down while going back and grabbing the legs and doing the take down. Another thing to keep in mind is you need to practice and test out your abilities to make sure they work rather than BSing like what they just did. I recommend if you really want to learn how to defend yourself is go to an MMA gym and learn, practice, and spar then you will know you are able to defend yourself.
I assume Ryan means that the elbows can work if you mix them up with a takedown, so that either your opponent let go or you end up on a headlock on the ground. Which is not so bad, that's why you dont see headlocks on BJJ tournaments, they work very bad. And escape from there. That's what I understood, not sure if I'm right. But yeah, no way you can escape that choke with elbows alone XD
100% true. I would never try to go to the ground, but 100% I will train the answers to get up in case that happens. That's why I mentioned it, I think it's important to train that, in case that happens.
This is worthless. Try it with a friend and see. Google Gracie Jiu Jitsu and try one of their classes. Women’s self defense is BS. Fighting is fighting. There is no magical technique that lets women escape danger ... watch the women fight in the UFC
Ladies, please do not listen to this. There's no way applying a move you saw in a RU-vid video is going to help you, in fact, it could do the opposite. If you are concerned about your safety, train in a real martial arts gym, preferably, a good Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym. BJJ is the best for smaller folks to defend against an untrained, larger person. But it takes years to be competent. You cannot learn self defense from watching videos.
Situation awareness will HOPEFULLY keep you out of these situations. Take some self defense classes and learn to use and carry a weapon. Make sure to check the laws in your area.
If you do choose Taekwondo, find a place without trophies all over the place.... those are sport TKD schools and the training is for points, not for self defense. For women, Judo is a good choice to start.
How the fuck this "self-defense expect" doesn't say anything or even seem to notice that Refinery29 holds her fist wrong?? You're gonna break your thumb with that.
I was scared into watching this after watching the dangerous of social media social experiments so I'm gonna watch a lot of these videos then go work out
oh yeah cos watching shit totally teaches you how to fight. cos like, the matrix wasnt a sci fi movie. its called an mma gym, or a boxing gym, or a wrestling camp.
I worry about the women who takes this woman's advice seriously. Go learn some Muay Thai, judo, karate or bjj. Go to an actual fight gym and train train train.
striking the groin as u said is good, but I wouldnt rely solely on a pain based escape, because the attacker might not even feel it if he is high enough on drugs and adrenalin. About the elbow to the face, you literally cant from a proper rnc (try it out slow mo with a family member and you'll see why)
Appreciate Video! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you ever tried - Schallingora Family Friendship Scheme (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great one off guide for revealing some simple military style self defence techniques to protect your family minus the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy got astronomical success with it.
Charlie Noah I'm sorry but this is full of bs. None if that works and trust me join a martial arts class. Maybe bjj but please dont listen to this fake self defense "expert". Whatbdoes that even mean..."expert"
Kate Robinson take up martial arts. Its a great way to stay in shape and you will learn how to defend yourself. You can even search up actual mma channels on youtube in your free time.
These moves are flawed. Dont get a false sense of security from them, that can get you into more trouble than not knowing anything at all. Check out real self defense (on YT, Nick Drosos is a good option)
I mean shes on something but damn... technique is terrible.. very hard to watch.. And there is multiple different and lots of better defense moves. Advice for you ladys take some krav maga class and dont do this i promise they wont work unless the guy is 10yr old kid and know nothing about fighting.
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to learn about cane self defense try Lomonting Survival Situations Mentor (just google it ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy got cool results with it.
