How to stop an attacker: Step 1: Reach back Step 2: Put your arm in your pocket and try to bluff and make it like your pulling out a weapon Step 3: If they don't believe it. Take out your Magnum and shoot. Step 4: Profit.

This would never work against a good puncher. Learn how to move your feet properly, parry, keep your hands up and learn how to move your head.

[@MichaelSmith-em9cw]

Being calm and working your skeletal structure like a carousel is definitely the key. Doing less and what you need to do is how to prevail and thats how i prevailed. Learned from taking hits at competitions as well as before martial arts and it all plays a part. Its just easier to learn from being hit than actually training and learning the right way. Great vid!

[@AndoMierzwa]

I’d say you’re right about all of that! Thank you for the comment!

[@blockmasterscott]

I did a lot of full contact fighting 20 years ago. When people ask me how do I get to be so fast with my hands for blocking I told them the truth, that I got tired of getting hit all the time. Every thing said in this video is correct but you also have to know what it’s like to get hit. For me, it was a combination of forms, understanding blocking principles like in this video and getting clobbered that helped me.

[@AndoMierzwa]

Getting clobbered is definitely helpful! :D

Excellent video, thank you both (howdy Sensei Alec!) I got a whole lot out of this one (I think, anyway 😄). Reminds me of the old quote "Learn it all, then forget it all. Learn the Way, then find your own way." So here's some lessons I pulled from this: Fine motor skills become more natural in a state of comfort over time (confidence through repetition and experience ); When you forego your wants and attend to your needs, self defense becomes simplified and energy flows more fluid (less effort more effectiveness). Wants and needs are akin to being, respectively, emotionally reactive vs. intellectually responsive. I really like (paraphrasing) be comfortable here, with less panic you will breathe, see and feel better what's going on, the clarity of your "needs" are made manifest in the moment, so comfort equates to self-trust...but beware of the ego (Fight your ego!). I hope I'm not taking liberties in interpreting this lesson; If I am misunderstanding I apologize and invite your correction. Thank you for another great video! 🙏

It brings up some interesting points. I look at it in terms of weapon work; sometimes you need to use Karambit skill, or subtlety. But sometimes you need Claymore skill, large penetrating power that decimates an opponent. In conditioning, I train Claymore skill. In technique I train Karambit skill. Oil and water may not combine, but you need them both to make a good spaghetti.

You had me at spaghetti. :) Yes, you’re absolutely right. Different tools for different jobs. The problem is when you try to use one tool for every job!

I love the premise, Move as little as possible. it's great if you can keep your emotions calm while under attack. most people can't, but it's necessary. The hardest part is always being aware. it's not looking for the fight, but always being aware of your surroundings at all times. It's hard to know when someone is going to sucker punch you.

Actually a solid point. From what I've seen of boxers, they like to keep their elbows glued to their ribcage and their punches short and to the point. They don't leave room for misdirection.

[@nelsonglinton]

@@theempressbunny This is why it is important to practice the art of rhythm against a trained boxer. If you've watched a lot of boxing fights then you'll know that one of the ways boxer can win a fight is by changing their rhythm of attack. So rhythm and timing goes hand in hand in my opinion. Defense also has a lot to do with where your body's position and feet are at the moment. Certain types of defensive maneuvers won't work in certain positions. If you train the art of redirection while keeping these things in mind and also spar often with trained boxers, kickboxers and mixed martial artist then it can be effective. If you're thinking that the art of redirection is ineffective then you can watch clips of it working in MMA or do whatever you believe is effecient for proper defense as an alternative.

This is marvelous

[@lukegoffkat]

I still prefer not using the opposite hand to block. I did learn this technique early on, but it's better to use the same arm they use, and cross under your other arm to grab the elbow, then pull them forward. You can then throw them to the ground or use that momentum to strike. Maybe it hard to explain, but it puts them off center allowing you many other options. When they strick with their left arm, you block with your left and use your right arm under and around and up to grab their elbow. You can then pull them closer and then use your other arm and step in to put them on the ground or strike, you're choice. I hope this makes sense, I don't have someone to do a video with.

[@AndoMierzwa]

Makes sense. Prepare for everything!

[@fonkymonkestudios7798]

At the end when y'all talk about not liking the word block reminded me about something. For all the karateka reading, uke(what we use as the word for block) actually means "to receive", because you're not trying to completely block an attack, you're just "receiving" it.

Hello Sensei Ando. I'm a big fan of Martial Arts and I just recently found your channel (and your very insightful podcast). Subscribed! But what I really wanted to know - speaking of not getting hit - is how to effectively dodge attacks. I've been training Muay Thai and dodging seems to never get easier. I mean, throwing punches is so natural, but thinking quick enough to evaluate the speed, direction and trajectory of your opponent's attacks is so difficult! Could you give me your opinion on how to actually get better at dodging? Thank you so much!

[@AndoMierzwa]

Hi Matheus! Thanks for the kind words. And glad you found the podcast! 👍🏼 Be sure to check out the other video I mentioned in this video... I talk more about dodging in that one. The answer boils down to experience. It’s also important to LEAD your opponent into doing what you want. Giving them the freedom to do whatever they want will make defense very difficult. Control the ring!

You say let the shoulders do the motion for you, but I say let the shoulders do the motion & bashing simultaneously on your opponent with your shoulders in rotation on creation of developing centrifugal force from one angle to another. I do remember I wrote to you to follow thru my demonstrations of this a long time ago I am only so glad to see you doing so! You should also take care to use my back hand hand grenade exploding into or onto your opponents head & body with snap crackle pop action. And by the way I'd always been the one to say it's better to fight smarter & not harder Than it is to fight on hustle/ muscle! I'm 64 but I'm still able to close the other guy's door! L.O.L Anyway I also developed my own way how to defeat the hands & feet with my own technique. I teach the rodeo bronco buckaroo bag training workout &, the arm lift under over loop smack n whack, sword/arm fighting & fencing skills, how to fight in & around /not in & out like hopalong cassidy or be a bouncing Betty sissy & how to slip n slide in & around not in & out till i'm wore out & or become myself un-anchored or off balance You don't come tipsy toeing in like a ballerina or & bouncing Betty. But you must alway's keep your arms in tight to yourself, cress crossing them back n forth, to twist, spin, jerk, grab n toss. just smash n bash bucking up & down moving in & around while hitting him with your ass, back hips, elbows & shoulders using the back hand hand grenades. Stop running & keep fighting by eliminating his efforts of deciding what he's going to do next. In other words' stop playing his game & fight your own game! Take no shame or blame but leave him in pain! Actually this style can leave you smile as it gives you the advantage to fight in close contact & still not be took back or be it necessary to severely hurt or damage him seriously to injure your opponent if say you don't need or want to destroy him/her but still be it kept easily protective of yourself. On the most part It's kinda like sword fighting, or rodeo bronco buckaroo where you convert yourself into a wild bull stomping mad & bucking him off of you. It just takes redundant practice to develop the right habits & then you'll easily have it! Practice it slow & easy as you go for the power & speed will just come naturally & easily. Only remember a habit is a habit that once you develop it 'you will definitely be stuck to it. develop only the right habits & avoid developing unnecessary bad habits as not be needed! & alway's remember the power & speed will come with it faster than if you rush it for haste only makes waste! Just slow down, take your time & understand your body is like that of a machine that has only so much wear & tear before you lose a gear or two & then your done & thru! Just keep tuned up & know your stuff!, It can & most often will carry you through.

I like the way you guys break it down to the T.

[@AndoMierzwa]

I appreciate that. Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@robsden7]

Teach the same thing in Ninjutsu. No need to waste movement ,move only the few inches required to make the punch miss. Stay facing him and stay close but avoid the fist by moving to the right position. All about angles, footwork and shifting your body . And keep the spine straight. And most importantly never turn your head away, common mistake. Keep your eyes glued on him the whole time. And helps to train slowly and as your timing and perception get better increase the speed of the attacks.

[@AndoMierzwa]

I appreciate the comment. Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@leon-hj7jm]

I wonder, does change the color of gloves give off any advantage? I heard red makes you more attentive, which maybe is why boxing gloves are usually red. but in a real fight you may not have that luxury. What do you guys think? maybe the gear as well maybe one of these newbies mistakes. (i'm not talking about changing the design, obviously they're made for a purpose, but rather the color to make it as skin like as possible)

[@deacfaram2946]

i think it kinda does, at least for me, if my opponent wear red gloves, my eyes are blinking, but other colors doesn't, i can see the punches come as close as touching my nose without blinking, but red gloves make me blink. anyone else having same exp?

[@AndoMierzwa]

Interesting question! Gonna have to think about that one! 🤔

[@ban5753]

Thank you Im gonna practice this now!

[@AndoMierzwa]

Cool! Happy training!👍🏼

[@ZeeshanAli-ky4yc]

Please add a video on blocking kicks because that's the thing I need to improve P.S knocked out by a kick 😛

[@AndoMierzwa]

Knocked out? Sorry about that! 😳 The same principles will apply, but it’s still a good idea for a video. Thanks!

[@frankwagner3659]

Some people just don't get the principle of an action and don't understand how it can be more versatile than the word for word description of an action. The base creates the variables. Thanks again for another great video.

[@shinwook5145]

I would reccomend that you either avoid it or jam it. You can avoid it by moving out of range or to the side and forward (diagonal), in case its straight both sides work, if it's circular you move the way its not coming. About jamming, if you get close enough, then high kicks just aren't very effective (against low kicks thats a more tricky, but works). I think the avoid or jam idea (or all the way in/all the way out, BUT not in the middle) works against most strikes, actually. There are orher ways, and actually better ways, but that's the one I'm more comfortable with. So, one idea: get out and avoid OR jump in and jam. And counter. As soon as you can. The counter is what stops the combination.

[@johnnychannarong5484]

if its leg kick, check it.. if its body kick, check it.. if its arm kick or head kick, lean back.. dont take it full on by using your arms! you'll get dead arms like me!

[@makaiev]

so... sorry for the dumb qestion, but how do I this apply when fighting a small pack of people? Large movements kinda help me dealing with the mob....

[@AndoMierzwa]

Different tools for different jobs. Big and small can work together!

[@makaiev]

that opens room for a cadency... broken cadencys are the best/worst XD

[@AndoMierzwa]

Right! Mix it up!

[@johnnychannarong5484]

large movements are the signs of a beginner who cant fight.. practice more and you'll use smaller movements to get the job done better! less energy wastage too!

[@arnoldsintos1794]

You can apply magic techniques for fighting the mob: RUN as far as you can hahaha

Redirect energy. Sounds a little like Aikido

Yes sir. There's a time to crash in and a time to get out of the way... irimi and tenkan. Thank you!

[@Msosbog]

Redirecting energy is common in many styles, as it is a super useful way to take easy advantage of physics. I remember learning a lot from my Aikido days; Now though I can only remember all the uke ukemi😅

[@burnerjack01]

Ya know? If only street fighting were in slow motion... Fact is, in a real fight, its all a blur, super fast, all ad lib, all automatic responses. If you have any time to think at all, either you've already won or already lost. Either way, it's already over.

[@AndoMierzwa]

That’s what training is for, I reckon...to build better automatic reactions! Happy training!

[@shingrandy]

Sound like wing chun

It's not wing Chun in taekwondo we do that in ITF TKD it also could be a lot other martial arts

[@alexansari2138]

Great tips.... I like less motion and not block but divert the opponents attack. Good video and instructions, thanks.
