90% of self defense is staying away from stupid people and stupid situations. Best advice an instructor ever gave me. No bars, booze, drugs, shady relationships or crazy women. Haven’t been in a fight in 25 years since walking away from all of that.

[@Luigi13]

Staying away from all the bad energy is definitely helpful. And whatever another thinks of it it is his choice.

​@natepoodle9132 and don't forget, there are bullies running rampant. If you're in a situation, they feel like they just HAVE TO make you look worse, by laying you in the floor. I try every way possible to not be in a fight. I was in fire and rescue for over two decades, because I liked HELPING FOLKS, not hurting them. If they persist, I always ask them if they like HOSPITAL FOOD. That's their last chance to leave me be. I'd say, it's been over 50 years since I was in a fight.

Glad to see that you included the haymaker because the overhand right is the number one punch in street fights, and yet it is seldom dealt with in dojos.

[@turbomanmechachrist]

It's because if you're in a proper dojo, it's something you learn passively as you train against real punches that are barely telegraphed or better. If you can handle yourself a single haymaker (as in no feints involved) shouldn't hit you if you're even half ready.

[@kevinthomas2470]

@@turbomanmechachrist The haymaker is the overhand right. Most dojos, proper or not, practice strictly against straight punches because that is traditional. It is a rare dojo with an enlightened instructor that will practice against an uppercut, a hook, or an overhand right. So I disagree with what you're saying about picking it up passively. If you don't drill it in the dojo, you are at a disadvantage in a real encounter.

[@denniscrawford2248]

@@turbomanmechachrist "Haymakers" I 've repeatedly observed are loose, circular, swinging punches starting with the arms hanging naturally to the sides of the torso targeting high to the sides of the head that use the inside edge of the fist as a striking surface and not the front knuckles. Straight punches and angular crosses also, not using a guard ( completely open) with the arms hanging naturally to the sides of the torso targeting high to the head (front of face) using their knuckles is the other most common punches used by statistical probability in a street fight. The type of punches I've mentioned here are performed by untrained thugs. against lighter weight, shorter and lesser arm reach crime target victims.

[@dorianpro]

Just my two cents: I'm an IT guy, not really used to fights and so on. When I was 22 I got into a confrontation with 4 guys really wishing to hurt me and they clearly stated. Reason: my girlfriend was the ex of one of them - typical bullies. I was sh**ting my pants, I was alone with my girlfriend, no friends, nothing. They were waiting outside. I couldn't do much, so... I called a cab in front of the club, asked a bouncer to see us out till we get in the cab and escaped the trouble. Now, I'm 42 years old, I'm a Taekwondo practitioner for over 15 years and I still avoid confrontations. I'm not scared anymore, but my main concern is this: I have to get back home the way I left: no bruises, no harm done. If I'm with family and friends I would just defend them or people in need who can't defend themselves. I've been to prison for 3 weeks till the Police and prosecutors saw some footage and decided I was not guilty after a fight in the streets defending three 12 years old girls coming from school. Yet, they said "You will pay a fee for potential mortal hits and the hospital bills", I paid, but I'm still alive and still trying to stay away from trouble. My simple advice: mind your own business and don't hit anyone unless you have to and if you hit, be the first to hit and make it count. Again: stay away from trouble, you have a life to live, you're not a superhero, we are all people and should use words to solve problems. If you have knowledge of Martial Arts or other sports that taught you to fight, fight to defend yourself and other people, use it for protection only - that's the only way to prove something - you're a good citizen, the good guy. If you want to prove that you're tough, then... that's all you are - a tough guy with 100% muscle and minus 100% brains.

Lol taekwondo suck, you will not be Able to defend anyone

[@dorianpro]

@@yuri7674 Hi, Adam! Yes, at some point you might be right, when fighting different styles and fighting professionals, TKD might not be effective. But, with all do respect, it's too much to say that TKD doesn't allow you to defend yourself or anyone. TKD first teaches you how to dodge hits, how to rather avoid the hits instead of hitting, and when you create a good scenario and position in the fight that will allow you to strike and KO the opponent, then I should say TKD is good. Any (real) Martial Art is good to defend yourself as long as you see the Martial Art as a way of living, not necessarily to always think of everybody in the street like they are all potential enemies. Is much more than that, but always before using my physical force and fighting skills I always use my brain in finding the most effective and efficient escape together with the person I'm defending. The bodyguard courses teach you how to get out of situations without hurting yourself or others and escape with your "objective" clean and untouched. Anyway, thank you for your comment, I appreciate it. All the best!

[@dorianpro]

@@groknow Thank you, you're most kind.

[@dorianpro]

@Koter alexous Hello Koter and gratitude for the nice words, I do appreciate them. I couldn't agree with more than this. TKD taught me how to exploit my weak points and solidify the core of my strong ones. I'm humble because I like to listen and understand, get the information, classify it, store it or not and how/when to use it. Information is more useful than just labeling and judging. That's how I auto-educated myself and perhaps being an IT also helped me in being more analytical instead of jumping to conclusions.

Sound Critic FOR REAL

[@hiyorisarugaki1830]

@Bloods They actually do work. I have never understood why people fail to understand. it's probably because nobody is explaining it. if you do not believe it works, try it with somebody. you will see. but like everything in life, the more skilled fighter will win, fighting style is irrelevant. that is why a karate fighter can beat a boxer in a fight, and then a week later a different boxer may win against a completely different karate fighter. karate was not stronger than boxing one week, then the next week it got weaker. its all down to the skill of the individual, not the Art. So if you believe you are not skilled enough to apply these techniques in combat, blame your lack of skill, not the technique mate.

[@hiyorisarugaki1830]

@Bloods i don't practice Aikido. I'm simply saying its the fighter, not the martial art. on the street I would prefer to know Aikido, it's efficient and effective. in a ring, I would prefer BJJ, as its more aggressive. but because it's an external art it requires force. so there are weight categories. in real life, if you are not a big guy your BJJ will not work on anyone. only people smaller than you. Aikido has no height or weight restrictions it focuses on real life. the techniques are practiced slowly because if done fast, they would seriously injure the opponent every time a technique is done.

[@hiyorisarugaki1830]

@Bloods I accept there is no real sparring, and that some of the demonstrations online are stupid. they throw themselves to the ground. no wonder it gets a lot of criticism. most of that is when there is some very high ranking teacher who is about 80 years old. The young student will pay him the respect and go down. or it will be when they simply roll out of a throw to prevent injury. in real life, the technique will be applied without the Uke rolling, as he wouldn't have the time, he would just hit the floor. your hate for these techniques clearly looks like you don't think it's possible to parry a punch or evade it, especially if its a combo. well only in the ring do people do combos or try put someone in an arm lock. on the street, EVERYBODY goes for the knockout. that's where Aikido is best. if you practiced Japanese martial arts you would know about mushin, zanshin and fudoshin. They are fundamental to the technique. you have to consider them when watching aikido techniques. you cannot separate them, or ignore them. These arts were not made for the ring, but for war. MMA is for the ring, but i have never seen an army train in that style for war.

@@FringeWizard2 A straight kick I could see not being useful, but did you ever get a "flat footer". Example, years ago one of my cousins, for some reason decided to kick me in the groin from behind, his foot struck the bottom of my sack flat...It wasn't a strong kick, but it felt worse than getting the wind knocked out of me. I think you're right about people thinking their balls are more fragile (or it's a psychosomatic reaction from the male ego's need to validating they do posses the jewels) by overreacting to a power kick. But I think there is something to a lighter kick that covers more surface area, like there are some nerves there that only urologists know of and they keep it that knowledge secret as all Urologists have for the last 3000 years.....yes that last part is not real, but seriously, light flat kick, I dub it "the grazer" has dropped me before, but those aiming to split the uprights from 60 yards only have a shot a t sending one of the boys up, and it will drop (thanks gravity) at least from a friends experience i"m aware of.

[@jeanfourcade]

What army taught me about "civilian" street fight: 1- you dunno the enemy, from definition; so walk away any way you can. 2 - if you can't walk away: deliver first and hopefully last blow: use maximal force (hands or whatever object come handy), for maximum damage (the worst the better), as quickly as you can. 3 - then, as soon as you can, walk away. What I learned: a fight is an EXTREME crisis. It's all-in. It's not a contest, it's survival. Martial arts can help, but what if the attacker has martial arts too? Nothing, NOTHING, trumps a pistol.

Being calm can offset the aggressor. I trained in the art of Zen sword for seven years to get my balance back after getting mugged. I walked through an alley as a shortcut. I heard footsteps ahead of me. There was a corner in the alley. I realized that there was only one person in the alley. I didn't know where the person was so I went where he wasn't. As I rounded the corner I saw him standing on a crate with his fist set for a downward punch. I was far enough away to tell him that I didn't mean to scare him and you have to be careful walking in an alley at night. He stayed on the crate but didn't move. I told him that you could get mugged easily so be careful on your way home. I don't know if he tried mugging anyone else that night but he may have decided to retire from being a mugger.

Take awareness out of the equation (not to mention the dangerous unpredictable nature of the human species that increases exponentially when combined with stupidity enhancement drugs like alcohol) and you're left blindly dancing leaving fate to decide if you will hug spontaneous foes into submission. Please take my statement with a grain of sarcasm, and a dash of my insanity if I unintentionally offended anyone. I have great respect for Aikido and all martial arts.

@@mtlkicker as promisex im back. a oerson may have come to far forward for your prefered defence so you must move back to create space to execute technique. eg-front lunge punch and guy as a stick or knife in other hand-moving in proves fatal,remaing close if he has closed the gap is fatal. excelent counter is a kick to leading knee. sticking to the initial technique in the vid.you may have ended up face to face so you need to move back to execute this tevhnique(something else would be better but people have thier favorite techniques that they have complete control over) also some wrist manipulations wont work to close-you need space to work with

Hi mate.. I've been doing all sorts of pure defense moves for years now.. I'm 48 and I've lasted so far.. I have been watching you tutorials for many months now and honestly I'd love to come training with you.. I wish I had the balls to do what your doing.. Your tutorial style is very easy to follow and very affective when under attack. I'm in London most of the time but I live in the Manchester area.. We'll never meet but keep the vids coming you are an inspiration..

A point of order. Peaceful people rarely get into physical confrontations, while violent people get into them all the time. So when someone wants to hurt you, you are almost always going to be at an experience disadvantage. Unlike this guy, you haven't worked as a bouncer for 20+ years and will not be able to stay as clear-headed or relaxed. Your muscles and brain will freeze. Your fine motor skills will fail. Techniques you have practiced a thousand times will suddenly feel awkward. Avoid going for wrist locks initially, when defending the first attack. Large sweeping motions with your arm, manipulating the attacker's head and/or throwing your elbows, will be easier for you to execute when panicked. Use loose locks on the attacker's elbow. Move your weight into the attacker to keep them off balance. Get them to fall down as quickly as possible, with force if you can manage it. If they try to swing at you and you put them immediately on their ass, most people won't just get up and keep coming at you. It will unsettle them. They will think you must know how to fight very well and will back off. Likely it will become verbal rather than physical, as they try to save face before getting away from you. And even if it doesn't, you have bought yourself valuable seconds to calm down so that you CAN use your fine motor skills and go for wrist locks if they try again. It is always better to use techniques that do not require your hands to be grabbing the opponent. These are stronger attacks, harder to break free from and with much more of your own strength behind them if technique/leverage fail you. They tend to move your body against the attacker's, so that you are inside the minimum range of their punches. Wrist lock techniques require precision. They fail sometimes, and when they do you are in a bad position both physically and mentally. When possible, stick to techniques that are sure to at least move the attacker in a manner they didn't wish to move -- spin them, trip them, throw them, etc etc. They need to feel like the situation is not under their control, or they will keep coming.

[@zaco-km3su]

Aikido actually has techniques like that. It's surprisingly useful in spite what the MMA and some of the BJJ crowd would say.

[@andrewloviska]

I agree that untrained people should not be trying to take sankyo in a bar fight. But these videos are made primarily for people who train in aikido but might be wondering how the techniques they learn in the dojo apply to real-world situations. And for that they work quite well

Like your style and also this is the best video on self defense ive seen so far. you perfectly differ between street and dojo. Also you make it clear that these attacks wont come from an experienced fighter but are more for a common fight with for example someone whos drunk or a "streetrat". and although you rlly like the flowing grabbing thing you still give advices for the more radical streetwise solution wich should always be as fast and direct as possible. Ive seen videos showing fancy and complicated techniques wich is not only not helpful but can be even dangerous for people who believe in it and use them in a fight. id like to see a video on different street weapons and how to defend against it e.g. bottle(broken/intact) knife, belt, ive even seen someone using a twohanded hammer so ... theres everything possible. also a video how to use allday things you have with u like a belt or a pen or your jacket would be a good idea

[@BigBri550]

Yes, choreographed fight scenarios always turn out perfectly. The problem is that the real deal tends to be unpredictable and without warning. The typical barroom skirmish is never choreographed. Also, a bouncer has two advantages over patrons: 1) a bouncer tends to be stationary & observant rather than tossed about in the middle of the mayhem 2) a bouncer is by their very nature a target. Therefore, a good bouncer is defensive at all times; whereas, a patron is too preoccupied with having a good time to anticipate getting into a fracas.

as someone that grew up in NYC I expect to be a target and take it upon myself to always have situational awareness. Even in a club or a park, yet, I am a woman, the stress of being responsible never lets up.

[@liverpoolscottish6430]

Alternative technique to break out of a headlock- if you find yourself in the headlock grip. Slide your hand around the back of the assailant's leg to the inside of their thigh. Use your hand to 'camel bite' the inside flesh of the thigh. It REALLY hurts and they WILL release their grip on you. How to camel bite? Draw your fingers towards your palm- as though you are going to make a fist- but leave the hand open- don't form a fist. Then pinch and twist the inner thigh muscle between your clenched fingers and the palm. It's excruciatingly painful!
