Omoplata for Self-Defense - Fit to Fight® Fix

[@calebyoung2348]

Been looking for a legit street defense system, and tbh you guys are legit. You focus on principles rather than strict techniques, and that's something i like about you a lot. You guys definitely earned my subscription.

Favorite Ryan Hoover quote about fighting: “It Depends”

[@ryanhoover1522]

Appreciate the kind words.

[@TLanceEvans]

Found u on tactical rifleman, great content so thanks. And great response to the “what if” questions.. “it’s an option not the option” they’ve probably never been in any real fights

I like y’all are constantly taking it apart and breaking it down to practical app. I just have to figure out how to practice those techniques alone.🤣

There is a lot of terrible knife defense videos from this position. This one actually makes a lot of sense. I like how the first option uses the legs and puts vital organs at a distance. The two on one block is a better option than the Krav Maga 360 defense. It establishes immediate control.

If she was in your guard with an edged weapon, wouldn't she try to slash your femoral arteries? Being on your back is a very bad position to be in.

[@ryanhoover1522]

Maybe. Doesn’t change my response. Still need to break her posture and bring her close to me. That said, most people with a knife aren’t living in FMA fantasies and aren’t looking to target specific areas. As to the comment about being on your back, that’s sort of obvious, and I mention it in the video.

@@ryanhoover1522 A person doesn't need to be skilled with an edged weapon to cause serious damage. It is perfectly logical to assume that they would start stabbing at your groin, thighs etc and it won't be a singular stab either it will be in salvoes so really you have to look at it as how many times are you going to get slashed or stabbed before you can execute this defense?

[@ryanhoover1522]

I Wish I Was Dead I didn’t say anything about skill, and I’ve shot plenty of videos talking about how it takes no special skills to kill with a knife. That said, I’ve Seen TONS of real attacks on video or in reality, and I’ve never seen one like you described. Could it happen? Of course. Would it change what we are talking about in this video? Nope.

[@albundy8882]

@@ryanhoover1522 Well what happens if in the process of trying to do the technique the arm gets out? I mean the person isn't going to just stand there they are going to be throwing punches, thrashing and flailing. Just seems like it's taking an already dangerous situation and making it worse.

[@ryanhoover1522]

I Wish I Was Dead what happens if, during a fight, the guy fights? That’s the question? Look, it’s an answer to a question. I don’t know how many times I said in the video, “this is an option, not the option.” We are talking about concepts, principles, and technical responses. It’s a fight. Sometimes things work, sometimes they don’t. I’m not sure what your point is.
