Good drill, talented students

[@25Letifer]

Absolutely love this guy and Libre, I was stabbed while choking a guy out a few years back in the left upper thoratic, can you tell me where you get that focus mit with the face on it please? Respectc🇮🇪🍀👊

Some/most of those strikes seem lethal. I am amsuing that these strikes will be a be used in a life death situation. No shade just trying to figure out the implication here. Love the content. I have a cousin who has studied Libre. He swears by it. This comes from a dude with three kids and I ain't going to jail lol.

[@LibreFighting]

Yes, In this scenario the attacker (though it’s a bit hard to see on camera) was deploying a weapon, as he approached the practitioners vocalizing lethal intent. The students weren’t permitted to engage until the opponent drew their weapon.

[@joekelly4]

thx for the quick response. Do you have any schools on the east coast?

[@LibreFighting]

What's happened?

[@contemporaryfighter]

These look like sucker punches using a blade. If there is actually an attack that is provoking such a response, it would be nice to see how and why you are going from zero to sixty for seemingly little to no apparent reason. The hardest part to train is determining WHEN to pre-empt. But I guess we have to assume there is context that justifies the use of what would be considered lethal force.

[@LibreFighting]

Its not clear in the video, but for the purposes of this drill the simulation involved the practitioner engaging when an aggressor approached them in a hostile manner and reached to access a weapon. The practitioners weren’t permitted to engage until the opponent was within striking range and was accessing a lethal force weapon.
