Throwing a One-Two Punch 

Bro watch out, Becker might enjoy this too much….pay back for all the Dad Jokes….😂💥✌️. Seriously though these “teachable moments “ short clips a spot on! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Pat you are like the older brother...some of us didn't have! You are awesome!

I love it … “…am I smokin’ crack on anything?” Good shit, Pat.

I used to box a lot and then taught boxing for a few years... I have thought a lot about how this information is conveyed. Pat is a PHENOMENAL TEACHER. I like how he told the guy " I'm not going to hit you. I'm just using you as a reference point" because that situation, even a demonstration, is very unnerving for someone who's not used to it. He explained things well and also asked for questions at the end.

The one thing I like about your coaching style is that you understand that it’s not something most people are comfortable with. I can appreciate what you’re doing with your students. I look forward to training with you someday.

Dude, I am loving these videos. 🇺🇸💪🏽💪💪🏿💪🏻🇺🇸

Funny the timing this shows up on my feed, just started teaching this shit and bit more to my 6 year old daughter over the weekend -been having some boy bully trouble on the recess field. Biggest part for those who are innocent among us is being able to break that seal to actually commit violence, gotta be able to flip that switch and do work without hesitation. Daddy ain't raising no victim, she'll be OK.

That lady had very good punching form

My wife told me I needed to be in touch with my feminine side, so I crashed the car. Then I ignored her for an entire day for no reason.

Hey Pat, I love these short vids you have been making lately and have been learning a lot. Thanks so much for sharing this stuff with us!

Always enjoyable to watch and learn from a pro. Thanks for continued content.

Showing us the basics of CQC. Excellent, Snake.

Great stuff Pat! I go to the gym and hit the bag as a regular part of my workout. I am 62 and stay prepared just in case. I practice a lot of 1-2 with a follow up front kick. Glad you are sharing this knowledge, its become a crazy world out there.

One of the best explanations I have ever seen sir OUTSTANDING!!!

Clean and efficient. Awesome info for worst case scenarios. Thank you Pat for your service and training.

this dude is funny as hell- super helpful too! Much appreciated sir

Man I just found you. Good shit sir. Doing stuff like this, similar to the way you do is my goal. You have expensive knowledge that will help someone at just the right time. Rock on sir

These are awesome, vital pieces of knowledge spread among all these ~5 min vids. 🤘

“It’s the one that you don’t see that’ll knock you out.”

This is a perfect OODA loop, the one gets you the .5 second of distraction you need for that two to land where it needs and end the confrontation.

I love these kind of videos!! Keep ‘em coming!

Very good advice

Well said. Simple 1, 2 is very effective. Especially if you know your effective range. Appreciate these videos!

That's stuff we were taught in basic combative. Love it. Keep it coming

Love.. love.. love this type of quick, down and dirty training vids 💪🏼subscribed

Love that he's putting out more content.

Pat's one = hospital bed Pat's two = cemetery

Much love Pat!!! Rock and RoLL brother!

Outstanding content ! One two is excellent. Be ready with 3,4,5 if the one two, only rocks them .

keep these coming , really good advice

Good stuff.

Another fantastic video 👍😄 yes I use the one as a range finder. Keep up the good work. Have a great day

How cool is it that he’s got his lady out there demoing shit. Great stuff!

I got attacked in my home by a crackhead once. He had wondered around the block and tried to get doors open, and I had forgot to lock it after taking the dog out. If I had lived in Texas or something I would have shot him dead, but in Sweden you can’t really do that. It ended with me stabbing the guy two times, but before that I remember punching his head anywhere between 5-10 times. He had hunkered down, after my father had tackled him into a wall, and I threw punches from above. At the time I didn’t know much about martial arts or boxing, and in hindsight I think that punching him like that did more damage to my hands than it did to his thick skull. After that incident I have spend a lot of hours boxing, and I think that everyone should do the same. No matter who you are there will always be people out there who will try to hurt you, and you need to be prepared for that. Choose to not be a victim.

Finish with the good ole double leg if need be! I know Pat knows all about that! Thank you for the great content!

On point brother!

I also like the jab to control the distance. A post style jab is great to not wreck your hand but still be able to knock someone on there but. Basically, keeping your jab arm stiff and using your body to move forward and back... not intended to be a knockout punch but very powerful. Thank you Pat for taking the time to share your knowledge. We have plenty of sheep and not enough Shepards.

*Throwing a Jab, even a light one is like putting a bug on a windshield.*

Beckah got some POP! Great form. Chin tucked and everything

again. perfect bullseye. gold. the articulation is next level here. perfect economy in words.

You, sir, are a Shepard. Great stuff. Thank you

Look up Geoff Thomson "the fence" he developed the entire open hand distance situation control position to a very high level

Love the info. Not sure why you showed in my recommended but you got a sub

Love your stuff, Bro!!! Good stuff - no bully bullshit or tough guy routine...just down to earth how to...!!!! Keep it up - God Loves ya and so do I!!!!

I'm emotional.

Thanks Pat! Love your stuff Dudeman. Seriously, THANKS! When you coming to Livingston Montana!?

No crack smoke on this end! Thanks for sharing!

Pat McNamara and Ernest Langdon are putting out the best content on RU-vid, period.

Hell yeah Pat!

100% a range finder. Awesome 😎

Trebuchet is good analogy, I make my hand, forearm and shoulder like a piece of wood, as solid as possible for that #2. Makes for a quick finish most times. If it goes on from there you have to take it as it comes. I have liked a lot of your videos, especially the common sense ones, like what are you carrying in your truck. That was a good one. Fighting is better avoided in every situation you can manage it for damn sure. No future in it.

awesome

Great tip's " Must subscribe.

Did my dude just say turn your body to a meat trebuchet? Awesome! Awesome to the max!

As a boxer I was surprised that you didn't make any mistakes.. good job man! Though omitting some important aspects like the rear foot pivot during the straight, and what your stance should be etc. The power comes from the legs and hips after all

nice job cameraman for filming his back the whole time

My dyslexia ass thought this said Throwing a one inch punch😂

Beware the guy who calmly kicks your butt or smiles while fighting.

A heavenly match: Pat & Rebecca. And they can fight! 😉 💪🏼😎🇺🇲

Hi Pat. Just wanted to thank you. I have a 14-year-old nephew I’m extremely close with. He’s at that age When things can just happen. I was a competitive martial artist as a younger man, and started training him up a bit when he was 10 or 11, but then my health went down the toilet, I’m too unhealthy to get out of bed, I’m no longer able to mentor my nephew With direct training. So I’ve been sending him your videos. This is the second one I’ve sent him. The first one what is the video where are you set to circle the aggressor instead of backing away from the aggressor. I couldn’t have agreed more, I sent it straight to my nephew, and he immediately engaged with it. He understood immediately why you council people to do this and he found it fascinating. So thank you for helping me prepare my nephew.

i was first brought here by his 'street fight philosophy' video, and man: this guy is a warrior...

I'd like to adjust an expression: "Power comes from the hips" in "Power comes from the heels (through knees, hips, shoulder, elbow, punch)"...

He reminds me of the Karate instructor on Napoleon Dynamite

Good lesson, one point to add. Once most get done with their 1 & 2 strikes, they don’t move off line. They stand right in front of their opponent. You need to learn how to properly step off angle and load up your next combo. In reality, before showing 1 & 2 combo, they should learn footwork via box drill

Getting hit or hitting someone is a lose, lose situation. Make sure your life is really being threatened on the spot before thinking about hitting someone with this deadly force. The state prisons and hospitals are filled with both.

Brokeass hand relegates me to elbows and palm strikes... Relic of a misspent youth.

I hope you led that class on a 20 mile run after this.

❤

Those of us who have been hit in the ‘beak’ before, can relate perfectly.

I'm sure that I couldn't knock that man down with a hammer. Love that dude.

I am by no means a street fighter. I am a avoid a fight kinda guy. I did learn as a LE officer that hands break. The more knowledgeable guys that did fight and teach a lot said if you must, use stick or taser. If you can not one up the threat with a weapon, use elbows, knees, head strikes. Practice elbow, knee, head strikes 10 k times. Actually hit sparring partner wearing motorcycle helmet for real time training. There is a lot to it. If a fight should happen to go to the ground, as many do, and the fella is a ground fighter, could be a big problem. Like Tyson says, everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth. Hopefully, training takes over if that happens. Great video. It really gets me thinking. Glad to be retired and not having to do this all the time. Thankful for our frontline skilled warriors and teachers like Pat, that are training the younger generation.

Rebeccar got hands!!!

Sooner or l8r he s gonna hit by accident the dude test "dummy" 🤣🤣🤣

Good info. Should also cover one of the most important topics - making a proper fist (or just use palmstrike if untrained)?

I practiced this on my mother in law. It worked.

The only thing I can think to add is make sure to squeeze your fist as tightly as possible, and firmly lock your wrist. I've seen a number of people hit a heavy bag for the first time and hurt themselves. Hell I did it when I was a kid and just learning. You gotta really take all the space out of the inside of your fist, and remove all the wiggle frim your forearm if you want to throw your best punch. Oh... and it's gonna hurt like hell no matter how well you throw the #2. Punching face bones is painful.

Great content as always. Thoughts on closed fist striking and the chance of injuring yourself? I was told once, soft hand on hard target (palm) and hard hand (closed fist) on soft target. Just thinking things escalate, if you had to go for your weapon and now you got a broken hand.

I was taught to step through the person as the punch/punches are thrown. It adds that much more mass to contact. (watch Bruce Lee's one-inch punch) Most people can't handle you being inside their space, so this psychologically freaks them out while they are jarred with punches. Your spot on with the center-mass strikes. A solar plex shot can end a battle in one punch. Most don't defend that area.

We all need the fuck you up light switch

Lol fuck yeah awesome Content Thanks!! for posting

Shadow box this combo for 30 seconds or a minute and unless you are in shape you'll be gassed. People punch themselves out. If the other person can withstand a short burst of punches or refuse to concede the tables can get turned.

1, 2 & out! lol Love it, great advice and demonstration. I learned something, thanks. 👍 It kind reminds me on an old school 80s flick, Breakfast Club. Imma give you two hits. Me hitting you and you hitting the floor 😂 I too am very protective of my personal space, especially and most notably in the presence of an agitated individual. One warning , maybe two and then it's self defense time. ✌️

When I teach muay thai and explain the concept of the striking zone, I like to call it the "AT&T" range. Like their old slogan said, "reach out and touch someone." To reach out and touch someone, you need Accuracy, Timing, and Technique(AT&T).

Basic Dude Stuff 👍🏻

Grappling is good for the Arsenal as well. 🤙

If you aim for his upper chest, many times you will hit him in the face or throat because most fighters duck down when they are attacking. So, if you are having trouble landing shots on a fighter with quick reflexes,.....go for the spot right beneath his throat. Also, throw a few fakes. And if that fails, go for the groin punch. Throw two or three punches to the chest area, and follow it up with a couple of groin shots. And remember that your punching power comes from the rotation from your feet, through your legs, through the rotation of your hips, through your stomach, and through the rest of your body through your fist.

Who would look at Pat and say to themselves " I want to scrap with him". Pat looks tough as a $2 steak. Goes to show how stupid some people are.

The two piece is effective

I want to train with the Mac.

Go to a boxing gym, before service I used to throw jabs with my dominate hand believing it was the power "one punch knock out" but with very little training and a stance switch like Mac is talking about it was a game changer, forget your programming and do what your body is set up to to do, humans are apex for a reason our brains. Hips, shoulders and boom, even against a bag lefties take note :)

0:55 "tReHBoOjHeY" is the word of the day 📖💪🧠

Who in their right mind would pick a fight with Pat!

...and if you gotta go to '3' then its a liver shot, devastating!

It is sub ideal to even throw a punch. You should drive and use your palm which has as much force and won’t break your hand if they lower their forehead into the fist.

Wow! I have followed Pat since Joe Rogans and Jocko WIllink podcast and he looks legit! Thank you for your instructions, sir. I hope that I can use them when it comes to it. One question that I have is that: Is closed fist punch better or safer to execute or open palm strikes? Because I was told to strike open palm as closed fist strikes may break my phalanges.

👍

Awesome to teach others how to defend themselves and sharing your knowledge. I do wonder though, how do you get into so many street fights? I mean, you must be looking for it or something.

How do you feel about how Bruce Lee described how he uses his hands when punching; clenching at the last second and trying to make contact with with your middle, ring and pinky knuckles mostly? Does this apply here?

Why has Pat gotten into so many street fights? He's not starting fights and who in their right mind would mess with him!

👍👍👊🏻👊🏻
