There’s the reactionary response, reflexive and correct response. Get to know all 3

Very good 👍

I am a fan but this looks like the block worked because the defender knew a right haymaker was coming.

I think we got ourself a reader here!

Last video I seen about stubbed man near ATM- no hands up, absolutely freezing. Also other person was freezed

This is where Tony shines..the physical stuff is less than stellar

So you’re blocking to make contact? or not get hit? Why not drop your back knee down and step back of the front foot, that seems like a flinch response too. I guess fighting off the back foot is harder but there’s less threat of different punches. Where is the whole video

Still not a bad thing to learn how to escape from ahead lock.

2:13

This is awesome! Mr. Blauer is an extremely knowledgeable teacher :)

3:53 Tony actually flinched and SPEARED. Nice. 😉

I hope that was real Andy 😅

This system is timeless. It's more relevant today than when he started it 40 years ago.

If it's going to go that way, hit first.!!! Don't hesitate. And don't stop until they are down for the count.

All of his techniques mirror martial arts, chinese Kung Fu in particular created long ago, just looks different to most people who don't know what there looking at. This is not a knock or negative comment- the course curriculum seems spot on and I am, sure is awesome and effective. More so, just painting a picture that all of these techniques have been around for a long time and if you are trained properly, and train with purpose, these are common skills learned and at your disposal if ever needed.

Your fucking kidding 🙄 explains why law enforcement can't fight for shit

I used this to defend against kimura or americano, very effective.

Maybe a bit too much time spent on one attacker. What about guy #2 or guy #3

Wow Wow Wow , thank you for your meticulous attention to detail it's so obvious ( this info ) but hidden right under my nose , now I have to train it to become second nature , thanks again this is priceless .

This is true for Hockey as well. The more options I look for the worst I do. The more I play toward a certain type of goal then I have quicker response to finding and acting upon better choices. Finding what works best and sticking with it. Better to be good at couple things and using it instead having a big tool box and not using it.

Wow, this guy is breath of fresh air, when it comes to CQC. I haven't seen this guy until today. [This is after I saw the comment below]... We both said wow, that's how you know this guy is for real, we both were astonished by the simplicity of these tactics. Great videos

So if action is faster than reaction, I want to be he first one to strike. Correct? I’m not being stupid. I want to learn. If the first strike has already taken place (and I’m on the ground with a screwdriver sticking in my shoulder), then my “first strike” had better be a really good one. I should break something in him if at all possible to live. Correct?

Simular concept like in Krav Maga even Wing Chun but WC is normaly trained more passiv while the original theory was also forward pressure.

What I like about Tony's approach is that not only is he concentrating on techniques but also on practicality. More importantly, he utilizes psychology in his teachings, showing how important mental preparedness is.

Brilliant concept.

Ahead of his time👍🏼

Really fascinating stuff

HE HAD TO GET OUT OF TOWN ( montreal )WHEN TRISTAR OPENED UP CLOSE TO HIM .. THE REAL SHITS IN TOWN SO LET ME MOVE TO THE USA AND BULLSHIT THEM.. GIVES EVERYTHING FANCY NAMES , SCIENTIFIC MY ASS... EITHER YOU FIGHT OR NOT ALL YOUR CRAP GETS PEOPLE HURT..

HE SHOULD GO TO THE UFC AND SELL THEM THIS...

TOTAL GARBAGE .. ALL MOUTH FLAPPING GARBAGE .... THESE ASS HOLES ARE THE FIRST GUYS TO GET THEIR FACE SMASHED ON THE STREET ... CAUSE YOU EITHER ARE A FIGHTER OF YOURE NOT,,AND HE IS NOT

ASK HIM IF HE WAS EVER ASSAULTED IN AN ELEVATOR no he has not BUT NOW HES GOING TO TEACH YOU GUYS SOMETHING HE NEVER EXPERIENCED ....

ASK HIM IF HE WAS EVERY MUGGED AT A ATM MACHINE no he has not BUT NOW HES GOING TO TEACH YOU GUYS WHAT TO DO...

THIS GUY IS ANOTHER BULLSHIT ARTIST !! GIVES VERY STUPID SIMPLE THINGS BIG FANCY NAMES .. LOOK AT HOW HES DRESSING LIKE A MILITARY DUDE .. HIS SHTICK IS DOWN SOLID... THIS GUY COULD SELL STEVIE WONDER A CAR.... ALWAYS THE SAME BULLSHIT.... NEVER WAS A FIGHTER , COULDN'T MAKE IT AS A FIGHTER SO BECOMES THE SELF DEFENCE GUY SELLING YOU TOTAL F GARBAGE...

One question to mr. Blauer .. were you ever a Bouncer ? or a Professional Boxer ? Kick Boxing ?Or MMA GUY ?( not really too old FoR MMA ) Or A Personal Body Guard ? BBJ ? How do you teach people how to defend Themselves when Youre Not a Fighter ??? Youve been in this Martial arts world for a Long time But You never were a fighter SO how can you teach something you never did??? Just a well Packaged BS Con & theres many guys like you out there ....Have ever been attacked in an elevator or Mugged in the street ( Montreal??? )

Um.....what? What does making a fist have to do with tricep contraction ?

This looks soooo fun. I could literaly buy 2 or 4 of those and train with it for 5 hours straight until I collapse on the ground

How does the spear counter a low thigh or calf kick. The system seems to promote attacks that are easily defendable by parrying with the forearms?

How are any of those responses flinches. He's knows he is going to be attacked and he is mentally prepared for the counter. A genuine flinch would have him on his back foot turning away, by which time the attacker would have delivered a combination of strikes making any tactical response ineffective.

Good stuff!

Bullshit

Love a lot of your stuff, Tony, you're a positive contribution to the ever growing understanding in the self defense world, and taking your words on ki, chi, energy, etc, shows that you prefer to understand stuff in terms of muscle groups and body mechanics, quite legitimately so since it works well enough for practical purposes, but will also say all that "ki stuff" is only mystifying to those not engaged in investigating it beyond the most rudimentary stage. Sure, while there is a huge amount of quackery and bullshit in these matters, and it can be hard to separate the wheat from the chaff, as with Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, etc, being considered pseudo-scientific "mystical" claptrap by many western medical practitioners, while there also many others (increasingly so in my lifetime) who embrace and successfully use it in their own medical practice. TCM is simply another, alternative, way of explaining and doing things. Although it might not suit your outside 90 and reptilian brain method, the unbendable arm demo can also be done (more usefully for students of ki) by relaxing the WHOLE BODY (as well as the arm, which should be slightly bent at the elbow rather than rigidly extended, the knees relaxed and very slightly bent too) when the hand of the relaxed extended arm can be loosely flapped up and down from the wrist, so all that extending of fingers or thoughts of driving through someone / something in front of you (the way I first learned it too) being unnecessary while maintaining the unbendable arm, with a very solid posture. NB: the relaxation must be of a "dynamic" type, head energized (but still relaxed) upwards, not the "dead" lifeless type, even if it looks like the latter to those unaware of the difference. It is just another way that opens up whole new vistas of employing energy and movement that seems amazing to those who feel and experience it for the first time by being thrown down like a ton of bricks, the more you resist the harder you fall, when you cannot but believe, also by the "very empirical" injuries incurred when the ego is too stubborn .... I guess it's similar to skeptics who join your classes and find out for the first time how effective your outside 90 and the rest of your stuff is... anyway, keep up the good work buddy.

I've been to martial arts schools and most good ones emphasize that it is better to know a few things well than 100 things so that it becomes muscle memory and reflex. This is pretty much the mop of any good martial art. What makes his reflex superior I wonder?

01:02 The good news: The flinch is faster than a bullet... Bad news: but the flich won´t stop the bullet - Killer

The Aikido I study which is not the mainstream forms doesn't call it "Ki" referring to some mystical power, it's basic physics and biomechanics. We are taught to exploit that in people. The arm only does 2 things well...extend and contract.

Kudos. He's doing a good job of showing how the body works. For people seeking quick knowledge, this is good stuff. Some folks don't have the capacity to study day-in, day-out. They want something quick and dirty, and they want to know why and how it works. Others, like myself, and many of you watching this, want to take things a step further. To learn the methods to train these skills to deeper levels. It's all good. Keep training!

First!

No one being aggressive should be that close to you to begin with to even throw a sucker punch.

Thank you brother for what you are sharing with your training. Bringing reality to encounters in real life sets you apart, and more useful than any katas you can learn. I’ve got a pretty muscular build from bodybuilding, so I’m not as attractive to people that want to do violence, but after watching your training... I realize I’ve just been fortunate, and that I need to learn what you’re teaching! Thank you, and I pray blessing upon you, and protection to all that is dear to you. - Harry

Brilliant!
