Very true.

Absolutely correct. There is a difference however in the P.S.I. (pounds-per-square-inch) force applied. The edge of hand has a very small contact area. This translates into greater PSI, greater penetration, which together create a greater concentration of force reaching the specific nerve groups we are targeting.

So attack from ambush and bite the neck?

Even if you have been in one, that experience (unique in who is the attacker and who is the defender, on what ground/environment, under which scenario, and under what laws/rules of engagement) does not necessarily prepare you for the next. All that leaves us is to learn the most common strengths gleaned from real-events in the "best of" preparation for what will very likely be a horror show. Doing nothing is rarely a more effective option.

@@fairbairnprotocolh2h399agreed, although most people do not understand that hand to hand and knife combat is mostly a last resort option. Hence offensive and defensive techniques (the way the knife is held, etc). It seems William mostly focused on offensive approaches of fighting, giving an offensive spirit much more relevance in his teachings. Violence of action is the main reason his methods are still taught around the world! Great video btw!

More people carry knives as tools than as weapons. I dont exactly know why it is im watching this i have something better for self defense, but this is clearly geared towards law abiding citizens. Yeah sure some criminals are gonna see this and use it. But they also steal cars right? And they use those stolen cars in crimes right? And youre still allowed to buy a car. Literally everything out there is misused by criminals but theres no way you can justify taking away from everyone else because of it.

1) there are plenty of people viewing like myself who can legally carry a knife, 2) everyone watching this at the very least has access to a knife within their home, and 3) even if you think it is completely impractical, it is okay to still practice any martial art (think about people who do Iaido).

Absolute wisdom!

I would love to work with everyone who wants to train with me. The key to access is inviting me down. Anyone interested should really contact me and together we can explore how together we can make magic happen. I am easy to contact. The fast route is through my website - h2h-selfdefense.com/.

LOL, Thx.

Correct two very different system with different objectives. Defendu was the predecessor to gutter fighting. Defendu was a system designed for police work and was largely based on jujitsu methodology. Gutter fighting was a slimmed down jacked up step forward. I still contained some jujitsu type stuff but there was also an element that included much more harmful/lethal method and intent. A change in intent is a massive change in method. The only difference between an arm-bar and an vicious-immediate-ripping through the elbow joint dislocating ii is intent. In a police action an armbar would be used to control a man. In war, gutter fighting would use the ripped through arm to cause massive agony and to force a man into a situation where they can be just as quickly dispatched.

​@@fairbairnprotocolh2h399now you have an idea for your next video. 😊

Knife hand attacks offer a stronger fact of penetration. High pounds-per-less square-inches that do not linger in contact with the body dump greater force into the target. Penetrating force can crack ribs at the 45 degree angle to the center-mass and crack/separate ribs at the cartilage-joint between the ribs and the sternum. However in closer inspection you will notice that I am striking along the floating rib area. This is the area I most commonly target as along this line you have the high flexibility of the floating ribs. Both of these organs reside just below and just under the 10th and 11th ribs. This flexion supports attacks to the liver and spleen. On the same line is the solar-plexus. Lateral EOH strikes generate the same force as hook-punches but offer deeper penetration. All of the aforementioned targets a highly suspectable to damage resulting from deeper penetrations of force. In order to throw a fist, the fist starts from a position exterior to the frontal-body, then comes in to land. Contrary to this opening of defensive-posture, the EOH is initiated from a position across the body then comes in. In doing so the across body arm position enhances the defensive-posture. In my experience-based-understanding of conflict I will always seek to put another grain-of-sand on my side of the scale. The above content is one way of doing that. Thanks for your comment.

hands break on hard things ie head mfer lol

​@@fairbairnprotocolh2h399Barry you should make a video dedicated to explaining this. Increase your content and views.

I got mine on wish.com

I love your comment because it is rich in truth. Combat oriented people often fail to look outside of their world to learn.
