Thank you for posting this video. I have practiced three different martial arts, but I still find it very useful to know 2 or 3 effective strikes / moves and become as proficient at them as you can. When something happens in the real world (outside of the dojo) you want as natural of a reaction as possible to stop the attack. What I don't agree with (my opinion, I'm not saying anyone is wrong, you have to do what you feel is right) is the "I don't want to hurt them" approach. You state this towards the beginning of the video, and you also use the phrase "nice and gentle" when describing the throat strike. You even change your wording about half way through the video (about the 3:30 mark) when you state "another thing that will save your life is the kick in the nuts!". The key phrase is "save your life". If you feel your life is in danger, why are you going to be worried about hurting the attacker, gently striking him? It is a different story if it is a family member or someone you know, but if you are attacked out in public by someone you have never met, and they are obviously trying to seriously hurt you, I'm sorry but I am not going for the "kinder, gentler" method.

[@mikado728]

Agreed. This fellow is so much fragile white okey-dokey you don't really have to know much about what you're doing to kill somebody hit him in the throat... and if somebody comes out you to hurt you if you're not attacking the attacker to beat him down till he stops twitching you're probably not gonna survive.

[@doreathaannhighsmith2808]

I don't understand why you don't want to hurt the attacker. They don't care about not hurting one who is being attacked. I say send attackers to the hospital

It is more about deescalating. If the attacker does not get hurt and you just avoid the attacks, actually even without doing any techniques, he might just get tired or frustrated and leave. And he has less motivation for any revenge.

If it isn't just some bully or someone coming to permanently hurt you, kill you or coming at you with full intent or aggression just immobilise them with a choke or hit a a sensitive area quickly, but if not, and they're coming bloodthirsty, you have no chance to win if you don't do that same.

[@chriscarey1291]

A very positive approach to dealing with a potentially big problem: How to protect yourself 'within' the law... One of the most critical aspects of any self-defense technique (including Aikido) is developing self-confidence. Too many nominally 'gentle-natured' people have a problem with this, since self-confidence is the entry-level 'key' for most locks. Aikido helps develop the necessary confidence to put superb techniques such as these demonstrated by Akidoflow. Self-confidence also (importantly) helps a person deal with the all-important problem of ego, since ego (unreasonably) often demands that a response be forceful beyond that which is absolutely necessary to resolve a threat. Just this 1.5 minute video is a valuable start in the right direction! I speak as a constitutionally 'gentle' individual who has always been troubled by needless violence. PS: I am absolutely convinced that ALL children should take some form of the martial arts at the earliest age possible, and Aikido is a wonderful way to start! We live in an increasingly violent age but there is no mandate that says we must be victims, despite a firm belief in cultivating and promoting the essential 'goodness' of humanity. As the Russians put it: "Trust, but VERIFY."

I’d say the best technique is to just stay calm, when your in a fight it’s super easy to miss a punch or a kick or something, so you have to be as focused as possible to land your hits, the best way of staying focused, is to stay calm. It also has the bonus of being able to control how hard you hit.

[@TrehanCreekOutdoors]

One of my favorite martial arts strike combinations designed to stop an opponent's attack which I like is a fast shuffle toward your opponent to (#1) strike with a backfist directly on his nose. As you retract that strike by simply curling your forearm back toward your shoulder, turn your hand over and (#2) strike with the knuckles as shown in this video directly to the Adam's apple in the throat. Use as much force as you can on both strikes so as to break the nose and crush the windpipe, if possible. This should stun the attacker enough for you to make a new (#3) strike that consists of grabbing his head with the palm of each hand to prevent him from jerking his head away. Once you control his head, push each thumb into his eyeballs for a couple seconds. Then use both hands holding the head to PUSH OFF the attacker as hard as you can so that you can make a safe exit. If this sounds violent and forceful, it is. But in a world where attackers may be physically stronger than you or their ability to feel pain has been diminished by drug use, it pays to attack with as much force as you can so as to stop the threat to your safety as fast as possible and to incapacitate the attacker long enough for you to safely escape. None of those strikes are likely to kill any attacker but all of them together should effectively stop the attack.

Very good standard moves.. Now for those of you that have never done thing set up a practice are with maybe a dead bag So you can do this with out thinking or with very little thought and confidence.. Well done video.. remember always defense only never be the bully..

[@grahpasulj1008]

None of these millions of examples of "self defence do-this-and-then-do-that-stuff" will EVER work, if you have not the right inner attitude, emotional stability and a clear mind about whats happening. The absence of this inner attitude makes the outer form(the technique) absolute senseless. If you don't work on you fears, your breathing, your inner calmness.....I saw so many guys beating up some brutal looking tatooed hard acting dude who looked 1000 times stronger. And I saw a lot of guys losing a fight before it even began, because they were full of fear. It's not about the outer strength - it's the inner strenght that matters. And THEN comes the technique. And - you may laugh at me or think that I am an idiot - I don't care...I'll tell you the inner secret of Aikido: It's EMBRACING your opponent calmly with an attidute, as if you'd love him. I was practicing Aikido for many years and learned all the techniques perfectly and by heart. But I made no progress from that point on anymore....It took me 3 more years to realize, that it's just all about that. If someone attacks you: Think of the attacker as if your beloved son would try to hurt you...the only interest that you'd have in such a situation is to stop this violence and to come back to piece again without hurting anybody.....When I started practicing my techniques with exactly this inner attidute everything in my Aikido changed. My moves became minimalistic, relaxed, with little force, I did only what was neccessary to stop the conflict AND: The techniques became very powerful all of a sudden. I couldn't believe it. When I was younger I never believed in such things. I laughed and made jokes about Aikidoka talking about "love" and similar topics. But it's like with children: TELLING about them and learning about them don't make you KNOW! You'll never KNOW as long as you don't make experience with your own children. Only those who practice love know that it really works.

Kick/ Toe punt in the head or body, be prepared to use an elbow if it jumps at u, never turn ur back on a dog, back away facing it - always. I have used this defence more than once on street dogs across Asia. There are other defences but they require training.

[@ΑΙΕΝΑΡΙΣΤΕΥΕΙΝ-ψ3φ]

@@ps2212 Thanks, such experience is precious because there is not enough information available anywhere. A video showing such techniques with real (not trained) dogs would gather millions of views.

[@harrys.3165]

@@ΑΙΕΝΑΡΙΣΤΕΥΕΙΝ-ψ3φ fair enough. I will elaborate. When a dog charges you, if you are quick, grab your jumper and wrap it around your arm. Put it out for the dog to bite as this will limit your injury. With the other hand poke it in the eyes . Also dogs can be powerful and you may get bitten in any case. Look the dog in the eyes as it runs toward you and yell loudly as sometime a dog can fear a person that shows no fear. You can also punch them hard in the side of the chest. There are many ways that others may also tell you. Grab a stick and use that. You must think fast, show no fear. I have trained dobermans and have been bitten many times through the course of training my dobermans but in the end the dogs love and respect me but I too love them so much. Good luck and I hope you never have to deal with a crazy wild dog but if you do then protect yourself, use a jumper to wrap your arm or a stick or any other object, throw out food if you have it or face it with dominance, power and crazy anger or walk away but walk backward while maintaining eye contact.

Best self defence is to never get into trouble in the first place. Trouble never comes looking for you, you look for it without knowing. Even the hardest man doesn’t want the agro of a fight. So don’t be tempted to try out your skills if you see a situation develop : just walk away or run. Only use your skills as a last resort when backed into a corner. Ultimately, any ex soldier or marine will tell you that in the end there is only one real trustworthy sanction for an aggressor , especially armed with a knife and that’s a GUN ! If you’ve no choice then use it, it will stop the matter in its tracks.

The only and the best self defense move is "fast legs" ... RUN -> Even if you look like a coward, that's always the best option. After that, you should call the police. If someone else is threatened, then you help by loudly announcing that you are on the phone with the police. An untrained person will never make the right moves in such stressful situations. So therefore, call the Police and run! (when you are attacked)

[@fluctura]

Und was empfiehlst du zu tun?

[@scheisstag]

@@fluctura Wettbewerb funktioniert in der Wirtschaft (wenn auch nicht für die soziale Marktwirtschaft) und funktioniert in der Biologie (survival of the fittest) und Wettbewerb funktioniert auch beim Kampfsport (UFC). Was nicht bedeutet, dass du selber Wettkämpfer werden musst. Es reicht, wenn du dir einen Kampfsport suchst, wo du selbst viel Sparring machst und wo andere Leute quasi für dich Wettkämpfe bestreiten und so die besten TEchniken für dich mit rausfiltern. Dabei sollte das System, das "Filtern" nicht durch zu viele Regeln, Mythen und Traditionen eingeschränkt sein, also Z.B. MMA. Und dann gilts nicht die super GEheimtechnik zu lernen. Es gibt keine Technik, die ich jetzt "verraten" könnte und die dir wirklich in einem Kampf hilft. Sondern es geht "nur" darum z.B. das Timing und Abstandsgefühl von ner simplen linken Geraden zu perfektionieren. Was nicht funktioniert ist generell "Selbstverteidigung" (wie in dem Video), also Kampfsportsysteme, wo sich "Meister" Techniken ausdenken (oder vor hunderten von Jahren angeblich ausgedacht haben), von denen sie vermuten, dass sie funktionieren könnten und dann wird das immer nur mit einem kooperierenden Partner eingeübt "Greif mich mal bitte mit einer rechten geraden an und dann mache ich so...." Und hinterher glauben alle in dem System, dass das tatsächlich funktioniert, weil sie dass so oft simuliert haben. Und keiner widerspricht, weil das gegen Autorität und gegen Tradition gehen würde. Also wenn man immer hört: "Ich will keinen (Kampf)sport machen und keine Wettkämpfe, ich möchte mich einfach auf der Strasse verteidigen können.", dann ist das Quatsch: Nur was im Ring gegen einen sich wehrenden echten Gegner funktioniert und dort 1000 mal geübt wurde funktioniert auch auf der Strasse. Deshalb ist auch der Satz: "Ich möchte mich ja selbst verteidigen können. MMA hat keine Selbstverteidigung. Deshalb kommt das für mich nicht in Frage" auch Unsinn. Eine funktionierende Selbstverteidigung und Kampf im Ring sind das gleiche. Jemand der sich im Ring behauptet (eigentlich ziemlich egal welches System) der wird sich auch auf der Strasse verteidigen können. Jemand der immer ein "Selbstverteidigungssystem" geübt hat, der verliert im Ring und auf der Strasse. 90 Prozent aller Kämpfe 1:1 führen irgendwann zu Bodenkampf. Deswegen ist BJJ ein besonders effektives System für den Kampf 1:1. 90 % aller Kämpfe auf der Strasse werden von dir gegen mehrere Gegner geführt werden. Bei mehreren Gegnern ist der Boden unbedingt zu vermeiden. Dafür brauchst du Boxen. Meinetwegen auch Boxen mit Lowkicks. Und, was viele Leute vergessen: ne Basis im Ringen, damit du ein gutes Gleichgewichtsgefühl bekommst und nicht zu Boden gebracht werden kannst. Also Ringen als Abwehr. Wenn dir die Zeit für drei Systeme fehlt: einfach einen MMA Club für Anfänger finden. Nen kürzeren Weg über Techniken aus KZbin gibts leider nicht.

[@fluctura]

​@@scheisstag Wow, erstmal vielen vielen Dank dass Du Dir so viel Zeit genommen hast, mir zu antworten. Und ich merke beim lesen dass Du wirklich verstehst, wovon Du sprichst. Mir kamen selbst zuvor und prinzipiell auch ähnliche Gedanken -- allein in der Theorie hatte ich mir schon gedacht, dass (wie bei so vielem anderen) Übung den Meister macht und die Realität deutlich zu vielseitig ist, als das es so etwas wie ein "1 Technique fits all" geben könnte. Auch das Thema choreographische Kämpfe fand ich immer sehr zweifelhaft. Was bringt es mir in Slow-Mo bestimmte Techniken mit einem Partner zu üben der immer das selbe tut? Ich habe ein Bisschen Erfahrung mit Krav Maga und unter Freunden üben "Full Contact" -- irgendwie haben wir richtig Spaß daran gefunden, die Situation so real wie möglich zu simulieren. Nach jedem Training gehen alle mit Blauen Flecken raus, aber jeder hat eine echte Motivation gehabt sich so gut zu verteidigen wie er/sie eben kann. Wir üben auch mit Angriffen ohne Ansage und geschlossenen Augen, mehreren Angreifern etc. Da sieht man auch sofort, welche Technik funktioniert und welche nicht. Ich glaube ja, dass man sich (egal wie viel und lange man trainiert hat) z.B. gegen einen "aus dem off" ausgeführten harten Schlaf gegen die Schläfe mit Sicherheit niemals verteidigen könnte. Der Angreifer aus dem Off hat immer den Überraschungsvorteil und m.M.n gewinnt der Kämpfer mit weniger Skrupeln. Das einzige was da hilft ist Awareness. Also ständig (und das würde bedeuten jede Sekunde im Freien) im Kampfmodus und aufmerksam 360° abzuchecken was grade um einen herum los ist. Aber wer macht das schon? Wäre ja leicht paranoid ;) Ansonsten... es gibt ja schon ein paar Pain Points die leicht zu erreichen sind... in vielen Situationen... also sei es, dass man grade irgendwie gelockt ist oder whatever.. meistens kann man ja durch Eindrehen des Körpers seitlich oder nach unten jeden Lock lösen... und dann die Kontrolle nutzen um massiv in Pain Points gehen. Ich habe nie MMA oder BJJ gemacht, aber mir ist auch aufgefallen dass Kämpfe (wenn sie effektiv geführt sind) entweder sofort vorbei sind (1. Schlag, 1. Antwort) oder sich die Opponenten gegenseitig in eine "par"-Situation bringen und schlussendlich recht schnell Richtung Boden führen. Allerdings ist es bei uns grade so dass es durch die entsprechenden Hebeltechniken dort auch super schnell zu einer Lösung kommt. Da wird dann einfach schon beim zu Boden gehen der Arm kontrolliert, gegriffen, umgedreht und der Gegner ist friedlich auf dem Rücken. Wir kämpfen meist weniger als 10 Sekunden. Es geht uns nicht darum uns zu boxen sondern gezielt den Kampf zu beenden. Allerdings frage ich mich, was passiert, wenn man in einer echten Situation auf einen Gegner trifft der eben keinen Bock hat gegriffen oder gelockt zu werden und einfach in hoher Frequenz boxt und low-kickt (und nie versucht zu locken bis er mich ermüdet)... da hätte ich wahrscheinlich dann auch grade wenig zu entgegnen, da meine Sorge, meine Deckung runter zu nehmen und mit einer Technik (die immer langsamer als ein Punch ist) zu antworten, die dann ggf. dafür sorgt das ich einen Hit abbekomme, doch zu groß sein würde. Am Ende würde ich vermutlich den ein oder anderen Hit einstecken und je nach Speed des Gegners auch nicht schnell genug reagieren können. (Auch wenn ich schon gelernt habe, immer auf den Brustkorb des Gegners zu sehen und durch peripheres Sehen zu erkennen, was er als nächstes tun wird -- wenn er schneller schlägt als ich blocken kann ist es aus...). Ich finde es also einen sehr guten Ratschlag von Dir, mir mal MMA anzusehen. Ich denke, da kann ich noch viel lernen... vor allem in dieser Richtung. Zu Aikido kam ich übrigens mal in München zu 2 Dojos... mir schien es immer mehr wie ein Streichelzoo zu sein um ehrlich zu sein :) Aber die Rolls waren sehr hilfreich... auch für das Fluchttraining und Parcours... ich denke, Flucht wird unterbewertet... wenn man flüchten kann, sollte man es tun... mindert sicher das Verletzungsrisiko (auf beiden Seiten) ;)

Also jede Sekunde muss man wohl nicht im Kampfmodus verbringen. Wenn man normal aufmerksam im Alltag ist, dann fällt einem ja meistens eine Situation als komisch auf (Spätestens im Rückblick erkennt man, wo man aufmerksam hätte werden müssen). Wenn man dann in den Alarmmodus schaltet reicht das auch noch. Angriffe wirklich ohne jede Vorwarnung, wo jemand normal neben dir herläuft und unvermittelt zuschlägt gibts eigentlich fast nie. Selbst hartgesottene Gangster versuchen potentielle Opfer vorher meist einmal abzuchecken. Also fragen nach Feuer und gucken, wie man reagiert z.B. Das lernt man nur durch Lebenserfahrung, so was zu erkennen. Ich glaub, wenn man zu paranoid wird, dann strahlt man die Abwehrbereitschaft irgendwann auch über die Körpersprache aus. Und das wirkt sich im Alltag negativ aus und wirkt auf andere eben eher nicht mehr passiv defensiv, sondern wird von Mitmenschen mit Aggressivität verwechselt. Und die reagieren dann auch komisch auf einen. Das ist es also nicht wert. Wenn man selber stillsteht und der Gegner Zeit hat die Distanz abzuchecken, dann kann niemand abwehren, da die Reaktionszeit länger ist, als der Gegner zum Zuschlagen für die Überwindung der Distanz braucht. DAdurch sind Strassenkämpfe oft so kurz. Die sind zu ende bevor sie angefangen haben. Das einzige was hilft: wenn einem die Situation komisch vorkommt: immer den Abstand halten. Also knapp ausserhalb seiner Reichweite bleiben. WEnn er die Reichweite unterschreitet: einmal zurückspringen und verwarnen, dass er einem bitte vom Leib bleiben soll (auch wenn beides ängstlich aussieht), beim zweiten Mal vorbereitet sein und sich ein Herz fassen und selbst genau in der Sekunde den KO anstreben. Also eben vorher nicht Brust an Brust stehen und sich in Imponierstellung ein bisschen hin und her schieben. Wenn der Kampf dann einmal angefangen hat, und beide sich bewegen, dann ist es viel schwerer zu treffen, dann kann das auch länger dauern: speziell eure Kämpfe mit Hebeltechniken und ohne Schlagen dauern bei erfahrenen Leuten schon mal Stunden bis zur Aufgabetechnik. Wenn das bei euch immer nur 10 Sekunden bis zur Aufgabe dauert, dann macht ihr vermutlich in der Simulation des Kampfes was "falsch", da sich gegen eine Technik wehren eigentlich immer einfacher ist, als die Technik korrekt auszuführen. Es sollte also bei echtem Trainingskampf genau umgekehrt sein: plötzlich lässt sich bei Anfängern gar keine Technik bis zur Aufgabe mehr durchführen.... at " Allerdings frage ich mich, was passiert, wenn man in einer echten Situation auf einen Gegner trifft der eben keinen Bock hat gegriffen oder gelockt zu werden und einfach in hoher Frequenz boxt und low-kickt" Nicht fragen und die Situation theoretisch zu lösen versuchen: einfach mal ausprobieren: also Abwehr mit geschlossenen Augen vielleicht erst mal weglassen, weil das ja im Alltag eher selten vorkommt, Abwehr gegen mehrere GEgner erst mal weglassen, weil das wenn überhaupt nur für sehr erfahrene Kampfsportler möglich ist und stattdessen eben keine Einzelabwehren mehr üben und immer wieder Pause machen und den Kampf unterbrechen, sondern richtig Sparring machen: Mundschutz rein, Handschuh an, Wiese oder Matte als Untergrund und alles ist erlaubt für volle drei Minuten, aber ein bisschen aufeinander aufpassen. Das geht halt nur meist schief, weil man als Anfänger zu aufgeregt wird, als dass man noch daran denkt, dass man sich mit der Schlagkraft zurückhalten muss. Also erst mal im Stand als Partnerübung ganz softe aber trotzdem schnelle Treffer mit Kontakt üben. Es schlägt dabei nur einer und zwar dem anderen ins Gesicht. Der wehrt sich nicht und weicht nicht aus. Ganz soft, ganz locker. Auf die Rückmeldung des Partners achten. Abbrechen, wenns zu doll wird. Dann der Tip: macht erst mal Bodenkampf ohne Schläge aber mit vollem Einsatz. WEnn ihr es nach ein paar Wochen besser hinkriegt, die Emotionen in den Griff zu bekommen, dann mit erfahrenem Partner und einem Schiedsrichter, der bei Härte abbricht, den Übergang zum echten Boxen suchen. Dazu braucht man einen erfahrenen Kämpfer, der nicht so viel einsteckt, weil er ausweichen kann und der einen immer wieder zur Ordnung ruft, wenn man zu doll zuhaut. Wie bei allem anderen im Leben steht einem dabei das Ego im WEg. So muss jetzt mal zur Arbeit. Aber vielen Dank noch für deine freundlichen Worte.

I worked Loss Prevention, apprehending shoplifters and bounced in bars with a full force policy, for 14 years. So I have pressure tested this stuff a lot. Not again insulting the arts, most systems could be more practical, with some very minor adjustments. Many people train for decades never sparring and if they do they limit allowed contact areas. Like no face strikes, leg kicks or grappling transitions and then think they know how to defend themselves. Same can be said for MMA fighters who've never trained knife defense.

Hang on!!! You're talking about self defense, and then you say you don't want to ruin someone's life? Well, I can tell you this, speaking as someone who grew up in a tough docklands town, My parents taught me to hit back, only harder and longer. Hit them til they give up all ideas of harming you. They were right! Anyone who attacks, unprovoked, deserves all the pain and misery you can dish out to them. Maybe that'll drill some sense into their thick skulls, and save other from getting mugged or even killed. Bullies fear only one thing, and that's being on the receiving end. Do it, and do it hard. It's a rare bully who will come back for second helpings. I know- I've bashed a few in my time, and that cured them.

[@SuperDaveP270]

Too many of the comments ask why you should care about hurting your opponent "too much." I think that the level you need to hurt them will depend on the opponent, and the situation, and you can use your judgment. I was taught: "Talk your way out of a fight. If you can't talk your way out of a fight, walk your way out of a fight. If you can't walk your way out of a fight, run your way out of a fight. If you cannot even run away from a fight, then kill them." However, after being taught those lines, we were quickly told the following addendum: Kill the Fight. Often when there is a person being aggressive, if you can do a hip throw and they are now prone on their back after flying ass over teakettle, they might very well decide not to go any further. And that need not hurt them at all, just send them spinning. Especially if there was alcohol involved. People might be more aggressive than they would be otherwise and a simple move to show them how bad it would be for them to try again is often all it takes. You just killed the fight. Now you do not need to stand there waiting to see if the fight revives itself---you can try to leave. If you need to do more, if those do not stop them, or if there is a group, then by all means lay them out. But I agree 100% with the sentiments in this video---no need to ruin someone's life for one instance of bad decisions. Give them a chance to change their mind.

I don't normally down vote any video. You are showing techniques that will cause damage to the individual trying to perform them.

Making your middle knuckle protrude, in an unnatural way, will cause damage if a hard bone is hit. Self defense, should be based on a more natural method, not on some contrived misinformation.
