Fred Mastro | Choke Defense

[@jaybladeart88]

It's not often you learn something really valuable on KZbin thanks for sharing this

[@uo7]

jordan johnson yup have to love Funker Tactical

[@straightblast100]

+jordan johnson WOW! I come to You-Tube almost daily to find a world of knowledge and instruction on most any subject. Your glass must be "half empty."

[@jimp7173]

I am an ex infantry soldier then a couple of years in the private security industry, and I have been a professional bouncer for over 23 years! I have trained in a few techniques over the years (some good,some not). I first seen this video a few month's ago and liked the look of it, which is unusual as most if these kind of videos are just a waste of time and dangerous. But I practiced this move for a bit and then have had a chance to use it a couple of time's while working, and I can say if it is done correctly it is very effective. So thank you very much for the video please keep it up!

[@jadenkim4826]

any recommendations of other instructors?

[@omegafeather6254]

Jim p. I am gonna to learn this move to disarm them from choke.

[@myeverdearestdarling5350]

This is how Fred Mastro's Defense System fares against an aggressive opponent: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHm6ondjfZWSgrc That's why the US Military and Secret Service, and even Israel, the creators of Krav Maga, are learning Systema, which has been tested and proven in real combat by the Russian Special Forces, who deal with much worse than disoriented drunks.

[@petecwalina8789]

So simple! I am sure it takes a lot of Practice but not a lot to memorize

[@FunkerTactical]

pete cwalina You'd be surprised how quickly you can learn this. Go ahead and try it...let us know.

[@petecwalina8789]

Funker Tactical - Gun & Gear Videos I did with my Oldest Boy for about 20 or 30 Minutes..Does it make us Defense Gurus..Nope but definitely showed us the ease of learning this Manuever and that Simple is better..Thanks for Sharing this with Me!

[@traws06]

+pete cwalina It's great to see guys pointing out how most martial arts shows are fake

[@stevenlyon4348]

+pete cwalina the basic idea of it is simple he is creating more force and leverage by turning his entire body into the wrist. the wrist is an extremely complex joint and by its very mobility makes it weak along a perpendicular plane to direction of movement. there is no where for the joint to dump the energy and maintain the grip. In jujitsu we are a similar technique that relies on the same physics. To practice this technique at home focus more on the turning of your hips and shoulders and sweeping your outside (of the direction you turn) leg in a circular motion to maintain your balance.The strength of the technique comes from the large circular motion of your entire body vs the linear force of his arms. 120 lb. body vs 40 lbs of arms. it looks amazing but the math and physics behind why these techniques work is simple.

[@jonb891]

actually I was able to get it down after a couple times. This technique is very effective. I found that if you step to the outside while your turning it almost becomes a throw and put you in the perfect possession for attack.

[@WillowMartin]

Thank you.. Was getting mugged recently and I remembered this vid. Buddy was choking me and thanks to your move I was able to break the hold incredibly easily.. Just lifted one shoulder and turned. Kicked him in the man bits and then ran.. Saved my wallet and my life.. So incredibly easy and useful.. I sat here for 20 minutes until I found this vid just so that I could write this to you. THANK YOU!!! I owe you! :)

[@RichardGetzPhotography]

It is always the simplest, less effort, most efficient, that is the best tactically. Great video!!

[@JavaJaxRex]

A surprisingly simple technique, but the best ones usually are. Thank you for this video, FT, and a thank you to Fred for being a great instructor.

[@RickMarsB4U812]

I watched this video post, and, as I noticed in an earlier video highlighting Guru Fred Mastro, his methods are quick, not complicated to learn, and in my very humble opinion, effective. I will respect anyone who disagrees, as that is how martial arts will continue to improve, with a healthy dose of debate concerning technique applications. Thanks for posting this video of Guru Mastro demonstrating his hybrid style of Silat. Keep up the good work, and if possible, let's keep training. Stay safe, and...cheers!

[@johnlocke6986]

One of the few useful self-defense videos I've seen on KZbin.

[@MrWayne1701]

I've been training in self-defense martial arts for 30 years, and this is the quickest, best defense for the front manual choke I've ever seen...My favorite used to be one arm up over the choking hands and drop my body weight on a downward elbow strike onto his wrists, then a chop to the throat backhanded, but I like this better, thanks!

[@jhorn5469]

Totally works, I was in a bar fight and I was able to perform this technique on 4 different attackers. It worked every single time just like in the video. Thank you Master. 😃

[@worddunlap]

I started at an early age and now this is automatic with me. I was a meek pacifist child and often bullied, even to the point of serious injury. The first thing developed was confidence and understanding that the people attacking, bullying me deserved no quarter. My father enrolled me in Okinawan martial arts schools but I've taken a few other kinds. After a while you develop a skill set of what works. I've been attacked by multiple and fared well. This guy is great, his advice and methods are correct. Be thankful I am a nice person and not a bully. When attacked I have left people pretty maimed. This all said I do carry a gun and I know how to use it however I've never been afraid to be without it and have been on the most dangerous streets in the world. Do you children a favor and start their training early. The world is much more dangerous and the most dangerous streets are right here in America.

[@QueenBiscuit]

When I took karate I noticed the faulty-ness behind the teaching of the needle and thread method and the method he was showing here that was failing him as well. I'm so glad that I found a video that teaches the best way to get out of a choke-hold. Very nicely done! Subscribed!

[@searching4adventure85]

Thank you so much. I had to use this in a bar fight against five guys mugging an old lady and a bouncer. I had five dudes choking me all at the same time. I did a 360 spin, broke all the chokes, tossed smoke as a distraction and judo chopped them all to sleep. The crowd watching was so amazed that they lifted me up and cheered “hip hip hooray!” My future wife was in the audience, she fell in love immediately and we were married the next day.

I really love this dudes take on the arts and real life application to attacks...well done, EXCELLENT..

[@TheLateBoyScout]

Amazing!

[@myeverdearestdarling5350]

Note: I've decided to keep posting this because I've seen some of the frenzied, demented attacks caught on CCTV. Attackers in real life come at you like a raging bull, punching, kicking, and slashing wildly. They don't stand in place so practicing on unmoving subjects is utterly pointless. I've learned that the US Military and Secret Service, and even Israel, the creators of Krav Maga, are learning Systema (NOT Fred Mastro's Defense System). Perhaps because unlike sport martial arts (which are strictly for one-on-one and have many moves considered illegal) and choreography martial arts (which might work on dazed drunks), it's been tested and proven in real combat by the Russian Special Forces during war times. How will Fred fare against someone who's been in the Russian Special Forces, who deal with much worse than disoriented drunks? Why not ask Fred why he now exclusively does choreographed demonstrations (needlessly hurting his submissive assistants) after his (super embarrassing) fight against Malik, who was just a self-taught street fighter? m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHm6ondjfZWSgrc (For those who complain about the difference in their size, in a street fight do people fight by weight? For those who say that Fred would have killed Malik if there were no rules, how could he have broken Malik's arms and neck when his punches and kicks had no effect on Malik? In the first few seconds alone, Fred was already on his back and Malik could have pounded his face until he was unrecognizable if there were no rules.) Why did Fred post pictures of ROTC boys on his Facebook page and claim he's training them when most of them were entirely uninterested in him? Did Fred just show up at that place and demonstrated his choreography so he could be in a photo with boys in camo and say he's training military? Why does Fred claim he's training armies worldwide when a simple search will show that it's Russia's military that's being asked by countries to train their armies? Why would anyone interested in self defense spend their hard-earned money on sport martial arts or self-proclaimed gurus instead of what the real experts on the art of war are learning?

[@awkokwow2728]

Im from indonesia, and i use pencak silat for self defence.. Good maestro ❤

[@aryan3323]

Really loved the way this guy was training. It seems he is a good guy with lots of power.

[@DragonSlayer-tg5mk]

This technique has been around for a long time. I worked for 25 years in max prisons and bounced in bars before that. I have seen thousands of real fights and I have NEVER seen anyone actually try to choke someone like that while standing. This is a move that only happens during demonstrations.

[@4walludd1n]

DragonSlayer2014 ....you never seen anyone try to choke someone like that while standing? and then go asking the kids has got bullying...the survive of the Serial killers,..the childs has got attacking by pedhofil...alone old men/women in the house... and abused wife,...this technique definitely can safe their life

[@DragonSlayer-tg5mk]

awal parinduri Perhaps. I guess out of a planet of billions of people it happens, I have just never seen it and I believe it is extremely rare. The only times I have ever seen this choke used is when someone is pinned against the ground where the attacker can use more leverage. I tried teaching this shoulder-bump technique to my daughters and they were not able to make it work against me. They even tried the windmill technique which uses more leverage than the shoulder bump and they still could not make it work because of my huge size and strength advantage. The ONLY technique they were able to use against me was a finger lock of the small pinky finger. It allows them to use both their hands and weight against my weakest finger. The point I am making is this. You are more likely to get struck by lightning than have someone walk up on you like Frankenstein and go for your throat with both hands. The most common real world attacks are the sucker punch, the tackle, and someone grabbing your shirt with their weak hand while hitting you with their strong hand, like you see in Hockey. I am not picking on this particular Martial Art as they all spend too much time on this low probability attack. They should spend time defending against this choke the way it is usually used and that is on the ground or pinned against something while off balance. Modern Martial Arts should spend more time on the real world attacks I mentioned. Also, many of the knife attacks I have seen come from behind and the victim had 2 or 3 stab wounds before they realized they were being attacked. How many Martial Arts even think about something like that. There are a few, but not many. I am not saying that they should not teach this technique, I am saying that it should be put in proper perspective and this is definitely not the "Ultimate Choke Defense" . The Ultimate Choke Defense would have to be against the Ultimate Choke, not this low probability Frankenstein choke. If this were the Ultimate Choke, you would see MMA fighters using it, but they don't because it is very hard to make work. This choke only works when there is a huge disparity in strength, like you mentioned the elderly and children. But they will be taken to the ground, so what do they do then? The finger lock can work standing, or on the ground.

[@ActionHero29]

+DragonSlayer2014 explain that finger lock please

[@evertondossantos5202]

+DragonSlayer2014 From Brazil, I agree with you. Two hands choke like that is rare, its a kind of technique for demonstrations, in a realwordl figth never happens. One hand choke while standung is common, but not like that.

[@brandonkain9231]

it happens all the time in alot of house holds...ol man comes home drunk every night then fucking trys to choke u...

[@albertmccready478]

Technique is simple. combined with a pluck at the wrist of one of the choking hands and a simultaneous strike with your other hand, the job is done. But what a fantastic relaxed ego free teaching style. Excellent.

[@caineheffner4232]

the funniest part is the lil turn and hand trap thing so simple and effective.....actually is a ninja move!

[@choaniki7645]

it is awesome to see more realistic approach. very good work brother

[@airgunnerperkins6720]

Hung in the air while being choked = finger fighting, focus on grabbing any finger and proceed to bend or break that digit. Two hands beat one finger, one hand beats one finger, finger fighting the least taught system

[@obiblade]

+Airgunner Perkins good stuff

[@jonjonstone7688]

+Airgunner Perkins That'd work too

[@Germaxicus]

+Airgunner Perkins Serious question. In a panic when someone is choking you, how easy is it to find a single finger and the point to which leverage it with your hand?

[@airgunnerperkins6720]

Practice grasshopper

[@filipezin]

+Germaxicus Theres no mystery to it, it's pretty basic and easy. But in my experience, the thumb is always the easiest finger to get hold of. Once you get hold of it, just push it in the direction you feel more resistance (which would probably be in a direction pointing AWAY from you). Many people think they'd panic in a situation like this, but once you practice just a little bit, it becomes pretty fluid and natural. You can even twist the selected finger to add more tension and pain. Or just break it more easily. And also, if you break the thumb, the entire choking movement falls apart. So I'd say to always focus on the thumbs.

[@caucasianman]

[@3ncrypt3dcod3s]

AnyNameWillDo I was thinking the same thing! The "rape choke" is probably the last choke you should be worried about. With the popularity of MMA these days, I would be more worried about something like a surprise rear naked choke or a guillotine...

[@kikojiu]

AnyNameWillDo As simple and often seen and trained by you or me most people don´t know it. I saw more than one guy almost being choked to death and they didn´t even thought how to get out of it....Most people never use the right movements becaue they never saw it or have been taught. This is an amazing defense which I use and teach very often as being one of the best releases. However it took me years to perfect it and do it from every height and angle. Thanks Fred Mastro for showing independently of how many people knew it already. It is simple and efficient although somehow difficult to master. With practice people are wrist locked without chance of getting out of it.

[@twotracksoutdoors7390]

+AnyNameWillDo He didn't say he invented this move. Its a very effective street move, that you will be happy to use if ever needed. Its not the end all move. its a tool used when needed. and maybe some of the comments are made by people who have never practiced martial arts.

sounds like you need new friends, or a better environment in general. The only person who starts fights with chocking are the people who start the fight.

[@County425]

This is the best technique I've seen that's so simple yet very effective. I practiced this with my wife. I'm 6'4", she's 5'4", so a considerable size disparity. Her reach isn't anywhere near mine. She was able to perform this technique and very quickly was able to get out of harm's way. Make sure you're integrating a follow up with this, whether it's open hand or weapon, practice, practice, practice. Good video!

hmmm a front choke dosent really need a defence. I would gladly let someone occupy their hands on my throat in a useless technique and take advantage of their exposed torso, oppertunities for an.arm bar, etc. All you have to do is tense your neck muscles and put your chin to your chest to render a front choke like this totally useless.

[@lsporter88]

That was good. Very intelligent and practical. Simple.

[@William.Driscoll]

In practice, when the defender's elbow moves out/away from their body too much/too soon, the technique is likely to fail. If memory serves, from earlier this evening, the defender's upper arm must not ramp up the attacker's forearm; the humerus needs to be ~perpendicular to the ulna, until the attacker's stance and grip is broken.... Then the elbow can be freed to leave the side of the body, and the arm may come into play, toward following up and creating an opening to exit the situation. Seems that the elbow has to stay down, until the attacker's grip is cleared, first. That was my experience in working with it, this evening. Mastro's upper arm seems relatively close to his body, until the attacker has more or less let go. I'm looking forward to studying this more, in-depth. Thanks very much for sharing this piece, guys.
