Yea you gotta be an animal in order to probably face off against multiple of attackers too

good to see that my thumb sore af from few days ago.. :D

Lmao I know this was 2 years ago so I’m a bit late but I lowkey needed this wake up call cause I haven’t gotten in a fight yet besides the one time I punched a kid in the face and they cried and for some reason that gave me a whole lot of confidence back then and even to this day. I needed the wake up call not gonna lie cause I need to get back into self defense classes and stuff

Great video, I always thought men were just naturally better at fighting then women, but I couldn't think why they are.

Elbow always works

Here‘s a thought from a doctor: If you make a proper fist and then take a look at the back of your hand, you will see that the metacarpalphalangeal joint of your index- and middlefinger are sticking out further than the ones of your ring- and pinky finger. With the metacarpal bones of your index- and middlefinger aligned with the radial bone there won‘t be much damaged with your hand while punching. If your wrist is slightly off with the knuckles of the ring- and pinkyfinger making first contact, then all of the force being generated is transmitted onto the 4th and 5th metacarpal bones, thus breaking easily. Oh yeah…He is my new superduperhero 🤗 I like him

So mma would be better or not?

👍

You somehow have to hope they all dont swarm in. If that somehow occurs you have to make sure you have excellent head movement reflexes and footwork to avoid most damage. Then you need amazing boxing kicking knees elbows trips throws to quickly eliminate one attacker. Then u need to that again and again. Ofc make sure you have enough stamina too

Well I do palm strikes and I can't punch because I'm not the fighting type but I would try if I needed to. Also cool way of using the visual punches while mocking people is so funny.

uh so if you get jumped and you can't run do you just curl up into a ball or give up or flirt or????

Taekwondo self defence at the gym I go to has literally the same problem, bunch of useless complicated moves when punching or leg grabbing would suffice

I don't think the issue is longsword vs. longsword being boring but the fact that there is a pause after every exchange to see who hit who and where. the fights should be long-form with points counted at the end like in a boxing match with extra points for takedowns and dagger stabs landed on the ground etc.

This is why biological men shouldn't compete in women's sports

Dude,you be brave my guy,you be brave

i can t be more in disagree , honestly , in my opinion ASIAN martial arts do not promote VIOLANCE as rage and always encourage to "control" your emotions , thing that leads to winning , obviously. And for real have u ever seen jiu jitsu ? IT S AN MARTIAL ART dude , there are secrets everywhere for who have eyes to see them , have a good day<3

FMA used karambits or sangot and they will disagree with you.

Part of the reason karambits are popular is they get around a lot of knife laws. The CRKT karambit is also designed so that the clip is integrated to the ring so you pull it out with it already in position. Opening it can be done with a thumb or with a flip, an existing technique in karambit use. Flipping forward with the ring and braking with your thumb also gives you a really fast extension with a lot of range for what is otherwise a sub 3” knife. Yes, knives are built around trade offs, and the karambit (esp the crkt) makes good use of a range of modern day limitations. Its also weighted properly with a thick stiff wedged blade that is tip heavy. In any case, most knives are tools anyway and one built in a way where you can retain it while still having use of your hands is awesome for a lot of things where you’ll be cutting and using your hands repeatedly. Opening boxes, packages, cutting zip ties, etc. If I need to actually fight off an attacker, that’s what my gun is for. Barring that? I’d rather have my karambit than most of my knives since it is compact and built like a tank with strong edge retention. 💁‍♂️

YUP! I just commented on another one of this guy’s videos about why the fuck MMA guys believe themselves to have ANY expertise with knife fighting. Tell me, what exactly makes you a qualified knife fighter, or teacher of such AND why should I believe you (because YOUR A FUCKING CAGE FIGHTER).

MMA guys are cage fighters, for sport. Why do they think they are self defense experts and knife fighters and Navy Seals? YOU GUYS ARE FUCKING ENTERTAINERS.

When in MMA have you fought against multiple opponents, and what makes you more qualified to give your opinion than these supposed instructors who know less about this subject than you, having never actually developed proficiency in this matter?

This kid ACTUALLY recommends hitting someone in the head with a closed fist? He thinks using that baby voice to antagonize his detractors makes his point more legitimate. Yo- guess what, if you break your hand on someone’s head YOURE NOT THROWING ANY MORE PUNCHES.

What kind of limp wrist are you that it causes you pain to hold your palm out dude? You BJJ nerds are fucking delusional.

Palm strikes suck? Well, I’ll go ahead and believe the Spartans over you boy.

A great master once said, "Punch him in the face."

A note re: Legality of Carry. Knife laws vary substantially across US jurisdictions, let alone internationally. If you're in the US, Knife Rights has an app - LegalBlade - which is very useful for figuring out whether you can carry that knife in your state - or states where you might travel where you're not familiar with the laws - or not. Be aware, if you're a weirdo like me and have de-Googled your Android, it requires Play services to work. And no, permissive laws re: firearms carry is not a good proxy for permissive laws re: knife carry - e.g. California, which (at least in 2017 when I lived there) has (or had, if they've changed since I left) more permissive laws than many nominally gun friendly states, with no length restrictions for folders, and no concern about one handed opening methods (assisted openers, wave features, knives that you can flip open if you pull them from your pocket energetically enough, etc.) so long as the blade has a detent or bias towards closing, compared to some of the more "gun friendly" states I've lived in over the years, some of which had length limits (3" in my home state, which is just plain silly) or vague silliness about "dangerous weapons."

Just watched this guy’s “best martial art for self defense” video, where he directly contradicted himself claiming wrestling is the best martial art for self defense.

I’m starting to think MMA guys are a cult. They always want you to fight according to their rules and in their gym. Then they claim everything that worked for them in these controlled environments are street fighting. Then, they talk shit about all the martial arts theyve defeated in THEIR comfort zone. I want to see this guy fly to the Phillipines and fight a trained knife fighter in HIS comfort zone. Feel free to wear all your pads and mouthguard dude.

Love how Cage fighters are such experts in self defense ALSO. How did I know he was going to pick a martial art he already practiced? Guaranteed a good knife fighter would give a wrestler a match he wouldnt walk away from. But hey, youre the MMA guy, youre experts on EVERYTHING.

This makes me question how effective would biting someone's nose off or digging your fingers into someones eye, or going for a quick nut kick, would actually be to create an opening to run away/ stop the fight Because seriously all bets are off when your life's on the line

bro is like a cartoon character but probably can beat most of us' ass lol

Loved the Kyle analogy You either have equipment (muscles) to compensate for lack of experience, or hope that your experience will let you, somehow, bend physics and do something impossible with subpar equipment. The only way I see it working with martial arts is if you're like some old men I've met: Old, no stamina, no huge muscles, won't last long in a fight, but knows how to move with precision and still has fast twitch fibers move fast enough for a knockout

Lmao no my boi just no I can see in them eyes you have never studied a single day in any genuine combat sport with anybody who actually practiced because if they saw this they would make you kick a tree to prove how unconditioned and naive you are. No sensei would ever accept this kind of blasphemy

I think a traditional boxing long guard is much better but this Zombie guard is cool though Stipe demonstrated how to defeat it with quick body shots and timing though I get the perks of this one since boxing long guards much more complicated this is like its crappier off shoot little brother.

Incredible video man loved it btw the car example was perfect it came to my mind before you mention it might be cuz im a cur guy

young sheldon if he knew how to fight

It is kind of crazy to think that judo sucks for self defense purpose, imo its better to know judo if you get attacked outdoor than to know bjj (and I do both and love both as much) My case is that BJJ practicioner are overall bad at takedown (if they did not do wrestling), and that judo offers much better control standing up and more explosive reactions The best mix for self defense is either muay or boxing + judo or wrestling I would avoid going on the ground at all cost if I were attacked in the street

This guy doesnt know what he is talking about, he is a clown

In my country, american wrestling is not common or probably doesn't exist. Which would be the best martial art for self defense, considering more widely spread ones globally?

I think it depends, as everything, no matter how much experience you have, how much you have trained or how much active combat you have been on, swat or mili, shit will hit the fan and you will have to see it by yourself cuz a knife using attacker wont dance around you waiting for you to attack. Ill go nozambique style and then canooe.

palm strikes are pretty effective if u hit them on the jaw tho, u use less force than a punch but can still do some damage to the jaw if hit well

This is a great video. Enjoyed it a lot. Subbed!

I've witnessed guys fight off multiple attackers while I was in prison gladiator school so this random youtuber has no authority to speak on things he obviously hasn't lived. But let's take advice from some sheltered kid who most likely hasn't lived through hard times in a dangerous area.

Our best fighters in our military fight club when I was active duty were most frequently Collegiate Folk Wrestlers and competitive Judoka. Generally, despite some exceptions, wrestlers & judoka rag dolled other martial artists in full contact unarmed competitive fights in our no holds barred fight club in my unit.

This guy's selling something too, don't be fooled, by setting himself as a youtuber martial arts critic and self proclaimed expert he's staging himself to earn public clout via youtube before launching his self defense instructor courses. KZbinr martial arts, srlf defense, pseudo experts are all selling something. Usually themself and their business.

IF JIM CARREY was an mma fighter 😂😂😂😂😂 1:40 HE WILL be throwing them punches at you WITH THAT FACE, while your on the floor rolling around 🎉😂

Spoken like a fool who’s never been in a knife fight.

I guess you haven’t seen Karo Parisyan

And if you’re not near a wall you could always run away
