Self Defense against the Push and Shove

In this video, we analyze the defense against the push and shove in a street fight. The first thing that you should do if you were faced against a potential attacker is to bring your hands up.
You also need to position yourself correctly to be ready to defend and fight back if need be. By placing your hands in a passive stance, you create some sort of shield between you and your opponent.
You should also try as much as possible to not let your attacker get too close of you. It's good to have a safe distance, to avoid getting hit by your opponent. It seems basic, but it's a crucial element of self defense.
If you do get caught off guard and you get pushed or shove by an angry man, you need to bring your hands up as quickly as you can. It's best to use a passive stance, making it seem like you "don't want to fight".
If the attacker makes a committed shove with lots of energy, you can open up his hands and come in with a solid head butt. If you read his intentions quickly, you can throw in a solid palm strike to your attacker's face to prevent him from coming at you.
Another key self defense principle against the push and shove is to avoid walking backwards in a straight line. Instead, you should move in a circular angle to make it harder for your opponent to hit you.
Moving from side to side, will disrupt the commitment of your attacker and make it much more difficult to get the momentum going for the push and shove.
We hope that you enjoyed these self defense tips.

[@daveedmondson6561]

Great advice! So many street fights start this way. A guy pushing another guy to set up a big punch or a take down.

[@codereddefense]

Glad ti was helpful Dave. Thanks for watching and stay safe.

[@available8987]

Going to middle school, ready for the kids who think they are strong.

[@codereddefense]

[@Bubble23428]

Hmm just learn kali and silat or muay boran

[@Bubble23428]

Or all 3 of them

[@TJ-lt9yn]

Same thing that's been happening to me, he disrespects girls by shoving me into them. He meaning the bully

[@hectoroyola6505]

Luke I'm coming

[@mexagodtvg8937]

The funny thing is that literally everyone pushes to start a fight most the time so this will come in handy to end a fight before it even begins

[@randysmith2866]

I’ll get some flak for this, but when someone pushes or shoves you, the fight has already started. Forget all those “self defense” techniques! Recover into your fighting stance and come out blasting with your most tried and true strikes. A well delivered punch or kick can end a fight instantly or change the balance in your favor!

[@MusicalMetamorphosis-]

This was the most practical and easy to remember style for countering the push and shove that I've come across.

[@wjf213]

Great info. I really like that tip about moving off to the side to reduce the attackers momentum. You really do have the BEST info for real world situations. I like that you keep it simple and use gross motor skills and nothing too fancy. God bless and keep up the great work.

[@codereddefense]

Thanks for your comment, we really appreciate it! Take care

[@jibreelgroup]

Very Smart Addition of getting off the "X". Most lessons on this stuff are too static and don't take follow up into account. If you move on a line it doesn't take any additional mental effort or time to track you and strike you. Especially since you might be backing up directly into the attackers power range(reach). Great Job Nick. I'm going to post a video of another good option we teach in my classes.

[@codereddefense]

Thank you very much for the feedback, it's appreciated. Stay safe.

[@ericg9999]

Almost suspended from doing this but it was for self protection.

[@ishyali9455]

I keep getting barged by two kids at my school. Do u have to do the same method?

[@dangkoen]

Karate & Aikido principles nicely applied here :)

[@codereddefense]

Thanks, yes it has similarities with Aikido ;)

[@marquanbrand-moorehead3897]

Thanks for watching... Stay safe.

[@faridzabihian1694]

Moving in circular patterns was the best tip I guess

[@codereddefense]

Glad to hear you got something out of this self defense video. Thanks for your feedback. Stay safe.

[@yeppits]

What about being shoved from behind?

[@stormytrails]

The shove; one Christmas dinner with FRIENDS we were all discussing my audacity for calling animal control to save a horse's life from a real 'horse's ass';...guess I broke some code of the neighborhood...I went to go DO STUFF in the kitchen and one of our friends came up behind me, I turned to face a very angry face coming up to me and he POKED me in the sternum with a finger, hard. I had an insane moment that worked and barked out laughing. Everything froze. Wiping my eyes and walking RR LL a little bit (right arm, right leg steps etc, done to look natural) by then the other guests peeked into the kitchen to watch me walk RR LL RR and my FRIEND who poked me hard was backing up quickly and fell over this piano bench I think that was being used as a table to hold lots of food near the dining table...anyway. Mess and mayhem. No one knew what had happened and left it that way. Just one poke. Yeah, we were not invited back to another dinner either and the animal cops came and rescued that starving horse. That little aggressive walk is amazingly powerful. Who says we humans don't have buried instincts somewhere?

[@codereddefense]

Excellent comment Stormy! thanks

[@bilaljanghir9693]

good

[@jamiegreeney5265]

[@vradic03]

It's 24th May, 2023 . It's Wednesday. Two hours ago , the one who promised to marry me, had rejected me because I'm allergic to gluten although he knows about my allergy from the very first hour we met with each other. All i want right now is to be able to express my pain. Maybe writing alleviates the pain. He did EVIL to me😢

Jake J nice eye

[@codereddefense]

Great observation indeed! Awesome ;)

[@available8987]

Trueee!!!

[@ProdBySKCBEATS]

Looks like gta push😁😁

[@TopSiteEnt]

This Technique is good, but won't work with a crazy fast dude all over you!

[@codereddefense]

It's true that a fight can get rowdy. If it's someone more aggressive, you might want to look into this type of defense - Pre-emtive striking: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6HQZpWvfc2Eq6M Stay safe.

[@stormytrails]

The point is to be crazier and more insanely BIG loud surprising like instantly..

[@itsjhitnotjit6292]

I know I seen dis video 😂

[@C0de46]

Just go preemptive and smack him. Why stuff around?

[@nischaydahiya7710]

C0de46 that is what you call defense yes sometimes attack is the best defense but not here

[@ARG23supreme]

If you strike first, it's no longer a self defense, it's an attack.

[@nischaydahiya7710]

Abbadon Despoiler exactly

[@TysonTheRand]

Abbadon Despoiler no sttacking first is still self defence if you stick to your story and say you really felt he was going to attack you eg hes shoving you yelling in your face [Im in the military and this is what I was taught in hand to hand combat]

[@nischaydahiya7710]

Tyson The Rand yes sometimes attack is the best defense

[@UnderCalledBros]
