I got attached by a teenager with a knife this past Friday night (29/7/2922) . First is the shock that I was being threatened by a demon possessed child ! Confused, should I kill him or run (it was two of them, both in mid teens) I ran backwards while asking him what he was doing . He eventually left me alone as we were entering a public area ! In retrospect I should have said to him, "I bring the blood of Jesus against you and simultaneously kick him in the knee followed by retreating ! I did it once In the past and it worked because the words have power and it dissorientates the attacher . You are also calling on the spirit world to enter the fight with you ! Another "combination" is to say "I claim Hebrews 4:12 and Psalm 91 " and then attack ! Sounds crazy , but that has also worked for me , and the aggressor just crossed the street and walked away !

This is a very well taught technique here brother. Even at my age now I'm learning more and more on your channel. Thank you

[@TheShaunyboy67]

Been a doorman for 32 years and a Head Doorman for 15 of those. This IS the number 1 move that has saved my ass many, many times and a great basis to steam into some other potentially pavement fight ending moves.

[@ramakrishnashalom9004]

Yeah but you can easily kill someone by hitting them in the throat. Then you will have to face prison time if that person didn't have a weapon and threatened you with it.

[@Tanuki-Ha]

@@ramakrishnashalom9004 I don't think the throat is the dangerous part here. Hitting the head on the concrete, is. However you always have the right to defend yourself and if someone stumbles bad while trying to seriously hurt you, it's not your fault and I can't imagine a court will hold you liable for it.

[@QuantumMech_88]

A well executed slap or web hand to the trachea is a fight ender . A well executed throat punch , knife hand or stomp = A kill shot . An immediate tracheotomy would be required to save the life of the recipient and is obviously not likely to happen . "Pulling the crushed trachea back out so the recipient can breathe" is a total myth .

[@karatearmchairhistorian9825]

@@ramakrishnashalom9004 The idea that you shouldn't use a potentially lethal technique while your life is in danger because you may face prison time is laughable. Legally (and I am a lawyer) proportionality is the key in establishing a self defense defense in most of the US states - I can't speak for other countries and legal systems; but once you can demonstrate that you had a reasonable fear that you or your family lives were in danger you are free to use whatever means necessary, and for us martial artists of all levels that may well be the most deadly technique that we have learned. But even if were not so: your choice would be to sacrifice your or your family's lives to some thug because of fear of prison time?

Im an old man 67 this year. im still in fairly good physical condition. over the years ive studied judo and ju-jitsu. you mentioned that things are getting any better on the streets. I still need to be able to protect myself and/or my loved ones. the techniques you demonstrate can be life saving. but you know they must be practiced in order to become proficient in using them. Most of the dojos in my town there are a bunch of young bucks who dont want to either grapple with an old man or they have tried to hurt me. I cant shadow box to perfect the techniques you teach. what can i do?

[@grantaum9677]

I hope you can find a trustworthy partner. Are there any other clubs or ways to find someone sensible locally maybe? Like find taichi place and offer to teach someone and recruit them I get you know way more than me, and this might sound dumb but I heard that really interesting thing where like they proved that an athlete measurably improves their performance by doing the task over and over in the mind first, If it works for other sports there must be some effect in martial arts too, I often think that generally practicing health/flexibility/positive mind set has a large impact on performance, obviously we can't really practice for all possibilities and some moves are too dangerous to go full force. Just some thoughts 🙏

[@MrRobertFarr]

Find a similar minded sparring partner. Head down to his gym on holiday. Book in the sessions. Or whatever. Hire a Sparring Partner from your local gym ? 😁

[@daleeasternbrat816]

Practice Ukemi until it is unconscious. Knowing how to fall without getting hurt has saved me from injury many more times than fighting. You will get to the point where taking falls on concrete has no effect. Stretching and general exercise prevent injuries. I'm 67, I get a lot of exercise as a Industrial Diesel Generator and Marine propulsion mechanic. I practice my falls. On occasion I practice with some AiKi Jujitsu and Aikido people I know. Not often enough. Supplements for joint mobility and healing plus enzymes like Bromelain work wonders in both Conditioning. Consult with Knowledgeable People about nutrition and supplements. I studied Aiki Jujitsu with a Former Rikkusentai. He was born in 1900. In the 1970s he was an absolute physical monster, with stamina, flexibility, strength and reflexes that would be amazing in a person of any age. That is what happens when you work out every day for 60 years! It's not too late, but it takes more effort than when we were 15!

Always great content in these videos and seems like a great guy. My ‘go to’ is a very similar move.. palm heel uppercut under the chin (or side palm strike to side of the neck) Any of these 3 are immediate elimination * in close quarters OR when you’ve been hit first - a move that’s served me well for years is the old hockey fight move - grab their right arm with your left hand and keep them off balance while administering 1 of these 3. Hard to attack when someone has control of your arm and keeping you off balance. 2 to 3 seconds and threat eliminated. Don’t ever look to ‘fight’

so true, attacking vulnerable spots with open hand gives you time to escape.

[@michaelreynolds6543]

As a martial artist i have always looked and will continue to look at quality channels like this one for the content. Im at the stage now where I can absorb and educate myself rather than going to train with others. My "method" relies on quick calculated aggressive techniques using wing chun and augmented with "old school" (professor R Clarke system) JuJitsu. Looking at this a couple of points came to mind. I could've stopped the attack at 3.57 without even entering punching range. As the opponent delivers the front kick volition dictates that he would have had to reconnect with the ground offering me a perfect opportunity to deliver a response to the leading leg providing I continue to control my distance and remain at kicking range, and listen to his body language. From my perspective . . . There are 3 opportunities to negate any attack A/ intercept the attack before it happens (line is opening) this is preferable as the attack has not yet gathered enough speed or volition to do any damage. B/ Move in, block, counter (which is what this technique is) and as we all know this is limited because out in the real world aggressive people dont leave the attacking limb "hanging" they rush in at 100mph so try blocking all that and survive . . . . good luck with that! C/ Remain in kicking range and when the line has closed (his foot has reconnected with the ground) you strike to the leading leg or kneecap, this will work if the opponent is rushing in and generate more power leading to extensive damage. The latter requires good timing and an understanding of rythymn. However the point of my post is that whilst tutorials like these are invaluable for martial artists they can also be of use to anyone who watches and surely this could possibly be picked up by some people and used in a live situation. Being a martial artist is not all about accruing techniques you also have to accept responsibility for what you do and sometimes forced to do. Look up "reasonable force" then you will see what a minefield the law is when it comes to self defence. Striking someone in the throat could potentially kill or seriously maim them. In Wing Chun we are taught to do this as well as attack the eyes Azu makes it perfectly clear this is a last resort technique and so it should be.
