The R A T - Rapid Assault Tactics Online Class - Learn Street Survival 

I've been a martial arts instructor for 20 years, and it's so good to actually see something real on the internet with no hype or grandstanding. Thank you. What you are doing is commendable.

81 year old senior here Dave, in "fairly good" physical condition. Thanks for a very informative video that will prove of great assistance in both the protection of my family and myself...it's getting ridiculous out there. 💪👊🙏. I might be older now and rather slow, but in my youth I was known as "concrete head", a benefit I know that will help me carry the day in the event of unarmed conflict. Thanks once again.

Dave. Great video. I'm a retired Police Capt., and used to do Emergency Service (S.W.A.T) stuff. These tactics are great to know and to use in case of getting attacked for anyone to survive an attack and get control of a dangerous situation. Thanks. Great job!

Thank you Dave! I'm 44 yrs and i walk my dogs everyday and i live in a bad area. I've got a pittie and a Rottweiler and they will protect if need be, but i always wondered what would i do if they got injured and wasnt able to help...this video is my answer! I've been wanting to learn martial arts and how to defend myself, and i have finally founf my teacher! Again thank you sir, your saving lives ❤❤😊

Wow, i am impressed. Very good teaching skills and great job Brad helping out. A+. I watched it all in one sitting. 👍 💪

Thank you Dave this video has a lot a great information in it

Its great to see a teacher/instructor actually teaching something usable.

thank you for making this available.

Thanks so much!

Excellent Dave. Thanks sir. I'm an older martial arts and wrestler (college). I also wear 'optimal' gloves for combat if I am out at night. I want my fangs to be protected. I still train on a heavy bag and I think that is good as you learn the focus of the hit

Excellent video, well explained!

Very good video! Well explained and clear instructions. Efficient techniques. Add killer instinct and then you have a very good self-defense program.

I appreciate the trainer. Wearing. The red and blue clothing cause it helps me to concentrate better in watching the video. Same with the. Other trainer wearing the black and white. Helps me as well.

Super. 👍

Amazing.... Teaching I love it... Really no one can explain R. A. T..... Like this. Make more video on it. And edge weapon to

This was GREAT, you did a GREAT job of explaining it, You didn't try to show how fast you were too many instructors try to impress with their speed. THANK YOU...

Thank you!!!

I'm not coming down on this method or video at all, but I can't stress enough the body to body physical experience one gets with even a community college 12 week self defense course, I'm 5 feet tall with shoes on, am female, am young by all definition, and I'm a single mother on the lowest rung socioeconomically, which is a nice way of me saying I'm poor as all get out, living downtown, you know downtown where police don't feel all the way comfortable, lock your doors in day time, kinda neighborhood, and while raised up in the projects as a young child and the street as a teen, I still am so glad I looked at the instructions, found one skilled and trained in martial arts and teaching self defense years and years, cuz throwing punches, blocks, kicking, disarming, ect, when you can feel that human body resistant against you, that was invaluable! I teamed up in my group of 3 with an average size young man and a big middle aged guy, cuz I like real case scenarios, and we beat each other, we had to, to a point, no padding all the time, some time but we kicked the crap out of each other, I feel everyone can benefit from that in order to know not to hold back their strength and how they really effect another body. Bruce Lee was the best btw, love it

Good thing RU-vid has adjustment for Playback Speed. Dave is so quick, fast and accurate it's ridiculous. By slowing it down, I can learn.

I studied this approach when way back in the day. But I remain a freestylist with good foundation not representing any system. What you get from me is what you get from me from every area: no belts, no trophies, just plain old fighting as it is. All the world's a critic.Even Bruce himself (as well as many great martial artists) as been criticized. Do your thing, enjoy your journey and move on man.

Have to say, after more than 7 years of JJ this stuff seems a lot more practical. Not saying JJ isn't good to know, but let's face it - it takes YEARS to become proficient/build the muscle memory needed to properly perform the technique(s). Some people don't have years or thousands of dollars to invest in a discipline like that. This is different, and a lot more likely to work IMO. Many thanks to Dave for making this info available!

Thanks

im a believer,,lol i love this guy, thank you for these videos!

Your a great teacher

Thanks!

I’m skeptic all of martial arts and I had my doubts about the techniques at first, but as I kept watching it’s actually really good stuff.

This is easy to learn for self defence thanks I'm searching for a self defence to train at home.

Give it a try 👍

I looked up your area code, and yes you are Cleveland area- as I thought. I’m from Toledo and you sounded like a buckeye. Really enjoyed video. Great instructor! Bet you have some fight stories? Best to you Dave!!

Thank you sir I learned alot.

i really appreciate this. street fight against MMA. Whole different League.

I ordered the manual only I did not order the videos how soon will I receive notification that the book has been sent out to my address

Thank you I was sent to learn from you 🙏

Hey Dave awesome work sir. But would you be able to tell me where I can purchase one of those groin pads you used

At 10 minutes, as we rush, what n how do we strike n aim 1. To avoid hurting hands (like hitting chin bone for example, maybe aim for nose to water eyes maybe?) It's early maybe u address this later? You're excellent presentation is easy to follow, Thanks!!!

I come from ancient combat martial arts before they made it into a sport. I cherish what I've been taught.

I see a lot of wing chun techniques in there. pac, blast (chain punch), center line approach. good stuff, footwork is a little different. americanized for sure. (He mentions it further in)

Only one question. After the straight blast and kick, knee, etc why don't you continue to press the attack until you know they aren't coming at you again. It seems that once you have the upper hand you would end the threat before backing off.

On the second technique you are using shots similar to those used by Kung Fu & wing chun. Moving forward on a narrow lineal movement. If your opponent side steps he will be out of your narrow reach. He will be able to side punch you because both of your hands will be busy throwing punches to your front and incapable of defend your sides. Most opponents with traning will not walk back but stand ground. On a 360° circle you will only cover 45° and leave the rest 315° vulnerable. Not including kicks that will come from the sides or from the front below your hands aiming to your belly or genitals.

Must practice ALOT. Pick eye gouge and practice. Practice hammer fist or Something in hand to strike temple and RUN

Yup.

Does Paul know you're showing his material?

Interesting stuff. Could be usefull if I don't have time to reach for my 8 rounds of critical defense .45acp.

In my quest to learn and apply from all arts (even the not so great ones, but broken clocks and all) I am extatic to apply all of this to my training.

One thing that I would've really liked to have seen is defense against combinations of punches. The old one-two combo and such. As a whole, this is an awesome system. Wish I had someone around here that taught it.

I noticed 1 key component that's not elaborated on alot, that I would like more instructions on is footwork while fighting every style utilizes it few elaborate on it in deep detail, I personally think this should be muscle memory in a fight as well, say if drunk or high and you know the moves but your footwork is lousy & you lose balance you'll probably lose, why else would ground technique & grappling become so effective in MMA if they didn't ?

Genesis 12:3; And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

On the first technique my only comment is that you are aiming to the fastest body part of your opponent. If he knows what he is doing he will never hit your elbows. He has his other hand to hit you and combination of shots will nullify your technique unless you have lightning striking speed.

Acknowledgment and Respect to Bruce lee, Dan Insanto, and Paul Vunak (R.A.T. rapid assault training).

Similar with Paul Vunak's techniques, learned from Dan Inosanto.

Hey day what can I do to defend myself when I cannot kick and I can’t raise my right arm over my shoulder😢

Is this based on the R.A.T. fight book?

THANKS DAVE, EXCELLENT TEACHER!! GOD BLESS!!

I've never seen a less interesting fighting style in my time on earth, however if you just showed people the truth, like whatever works in a fight is the right thing ! That would truly be ideal, I can tell you what works and that is being absolutely ruthless and incapacitating your opponent in seconds using whatever is available at the time! It is boiled down to violence of action, self preservation and not being a shot blocking vagina, just take it to them

At 42:00 On his back dave on top If they try to hold you there Wife getting hurt Use whats known as a frame or a double frame Harley daveisson all the way rotate your hand like rolling throttle on a motorcycle Youll lift anyone off you Very power Graice jujitsu showed me that

Hey Dave can your rat technic work for someone that has disability

Is that not Paul Vunaks System?

What you call a " Thai kick" is used in every martial arts worldwide It is also known as a roundhouse kick and other terms. It is taught in white bt level

CCW.

Magnum TA teaching you karate

Yea I’d like to have an ice cream sundae …..” ONE SCOOP OF ICE CREAM ADD NUTS!☺️” HENCE-SCOOP KICK!!!

why no shout out to the great Paul Vunak .... he is the one that created and imparted the RAT training to said navy seals.

I will be you in 3 moves my son! And will teach you on my channel.

Rex Kwon do I'm gonna break the wrist and walk away

My name is Jonathan every good sit happy new years

So this is Paul vunak's technique

it's eerily similar to jeet kune do

That is what i'm talking about !! 🖐👺 five stars !!

No man on earth could headbutt me if I resist at all

you gotta be as fast as this dude,, or you got to practice ...lol thank you for this...

Looks like Dave has deleted any critics, any real fighting has them. I think this is hilarious.

the reality is nobody punches that slow & someone throwing a hook to your skull and your thinking about tryin to thump the radial nerve is gonna get you KO'd or worse! block or counter punch or leave dont focus on a 3 inch target

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth" - Mike Tyson

I don't believe a few of the things he said like no MMA guy survived that blast technique 😂

What happen to the Israeli combat I had to learn I'm not real sure about this guy's technique but I know the Israeli stuff works to end fights fast and quick!! And I'm not saying rat doesn't work or this isn't criticism by any means !! I like to think that taken all these techniques as a whole and used in conjunction works better then any one given technique it's all about survival and any eye gouge or earbox will do in a hurry to give me enough time to sweep the shirt and grab steel

I spent 10 years doing Kung Fu and 5 Kali. Both teach "De fanging the snake" The level of training to make it work even 33%, of the time in sparing,let alone real world is huge. A few hours,?, Give me a break. If you want to learn how to Fight. I suggest Combatives. Specifically - Urban Combatives UK/Netherlands. Don't get yourselves killed.

Ok . Drop the continual, ok , ok , ok . Work on ok , on that , ok ..

I have been using some of your techniques for years and didn't even know it. I am a gifted fighter, and I love adding things to my arsenal. What I mean by gifted is, fighting is second nature to me. Like eating and sleeping. Nobody taught me how to fight, I just jumped in, growing up. I never realy thought about attacking the hands as they fly at you, I was focused on the quick jab to the tip of the nose. I'm starting to look for other things to add to my arsenal, because our country is going down the drain, by the hands of worthless leaders. I ran across your video. Opened my eyes to alot off thing, I WILL ADD to my de- off-ense. Like you, I will try to spread your teachings to others, if only we could turn our GREAT nation around, if not, I am prepared to deal with any kind ok WOKE BS that the so called leaders are HELPING SPREAD!!! Dave keep doing your wonderful work, without LEADERS like you, teaching others to defend themselves, I don't know what kind of shape WE THE PEOPLE would be in.

Full disclosure, I have not watched the full video, but what I have seen, though it may be effective by a fit person with months of practice with an opponent who is mostly complaint, it is total B.S. that this system can be employed by anyone and be foolproof against any trained opponent. All of the praise received here is totally ridiculous and some of the questions and comments are so silly that they must be from either teenagers or senile old men who are trying to hang on to youth.

Do not ever block a low kick or shin strike with your own knee !! (as taught here FFS) Apart from raising your foot off the ground, unbalancing you, you risk SERIOUS knee injury. On top of that, unless you despatch your attacker quickly, you may need your legs uninjurd in order to run, climb, climb.

Sorry, but if I see your elbows go down - you're going to get popped (by straight or hook) in the head by a fake. I always PARRY/HIT - or BLOCK/HIT - even if the other guy fakes - cos he needs to ALWAYS be wary of a strike back (not sometimes - EVERYTIME you're close enough to touch him) while doing whatever he does.

Car accident… not fight 😂 great lethal moves to stay alive. The oak tree wins😢4 broken ribs, concussion, contusions, broken nose… I would definitely prefer your dvd’s or download. I’m staying away from Oak trees. Going 5mph more I wouldn’t be here according to neurosurgeon.

Always be sure to let everyone know that all spec ops know this. Nothing like the old name drop. Hilarious 😂😂😂👍

Dave not Brad. Sorry

I don't really like this style at all. He adds to many joint movements into his defense style. Meaning he is opening and closing to many fingers. The way he does his kicks. Like that scope kick. That has high chance you can break your own foot or sprain your own ankle. The entire point of a self defense is you defend yourself. His attack moves change forms to much. He has a open handed defense, yet his counters make you have to close your hands. Some of his defense moves go from open to close hands. Then want you to transition into a slap after the close hand. Most people won't be able to use any of this effectively. If you are going to make a style for defense than make it where the defender doesn't have to transition their defense for counters. The elbow to block is great advice. But a lot of the counters are advanced moves that require the ability to perform them fast and precise. If you make a wrong move you will end up hurting yourself. I wouldn't call these move street survival moves. The best street survival move is speed and agility. Always be aware of where you are and everything in the area. Be aware of approaching things. Moving into locations that give you advantages, that give you ability to gain weapons. If trapped, you will most likely lose using these techniques. This video has like 4 moves in it that no experience fighters can use. It is more effective to stay with open hand defense and use eye gouges, finger hooks, nose hooks, ear pulls, slaps to push away strikes, the elbows to block strikes. Do what old boxers use to do. Use your forehead to break their hand. Then attack their hand. If someone is throwing a massive swing hook. Why block it when you can break their hand with a upper head hit or a elbow hit. Or just bait them into hitting a wall with a well timed dodge or push into the wall. These moves will be more effective for a zero experienced fighter. Best way to survive on the street is to use bits of everything. His open hand defense, should be combined with different forms of easier moves. Such as grapples and pushes to control and trip up your attacker Newbies could easily use moves like this. They can use back steps and side steps. They can bait anger. Why go toe to toe with attackers. If you have no experience, your just rolling the dice using this style. I'd rather not put my life on a chance of the dice. There is always a better option than standing your ground. Standing your ground is for professionals. The people that survive, don't use these moves. They use their ability to adapt and understand. This requires no formal training, but requires a mindset to survive.

Unless any is practiced, it’s honestly don’t going to happen. I the Greek, the word epignosis - means practiced life experience!! Until it is life experienced, you don’t know it! Gnosis means knowledge, but no experience??

Cuanto cantamañanas 😂😂😂en artes marciales 😂aquí solo hay 4 q es boxeo yudo muathai y poco más las demás es circo todo

Scoop thr nuts. .............. look of shock.... I said SCOOP THE NUTS, DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT??? NO SENSEI

This guy looks and sounds more like a mouse

I can admit when I'm wrong, I'm sorry for saying this is so bad it's not even funny. This is fu©king hilarious!!!

Sgt Major Mat McNamara 1st SFO )( Delta) brought Tony Blauer in to the Unit years ago- not this guy and NOT this tactically flawed "fighting" Shame on you

wtf did I just watch

What a grifter. He doesn't even pronounce Jeet Kune Do properly. He's copying Paul Vunak very poorly.

Useless video...no wonder USA army can't fight ..😂😂😂

It's choreographed...... And it's in slow motion.....I have my doubts....

Well it looks good when you say ok Dave slowly take your right hand and hit me. Now when Dave slowly puts his hand out exactly the way I said forgetting he has legs elbows knees. I slap this hand then I teke this hand and I move in on my tippy toes Rotflmao!!

Wtf is this? Are you serious. Neither one of them can fight their way out of a wet paper bag. Anyone watching this. This will get you hurt really bad or worse.
