Grappling Or Self-Defense - Self Defense Techniques

[@New_Czar]

Thanks for breaking down how a fighter thinks vs a self-defense person thought process. Much respect to Kenny for always taking the abuse😅

[@stephenjgamma3299]

Nicely explained... These distinctions are more important now than ever. The rise of popularity of grappling sports which often put someone in a very dangerous spot...the ground. Doesn't allow for multiple attacker scenarios. An all too overlooked reality.

[@williebraxton1988]

Excellent comment. Grappling won't do you much good if reinforcements start coming out of the house. Finish the defense quickly and "get out of Dodge": old school saying.

[@laymondcovington1130]

Excellent video bro, I’m a senior Citizen,theses lessons mean so much to me now more than you might ever know. The old main over and out.😊

[@bajuszpal172]

Let me , Sir just review your ideas: -Itś the Mindset that counts in solving a self-defence problem, whatever martial art style we employ. -Fighting is not self defence and vice versa. It´s the way of thinking whether we go in, go out or go home. -More to it : Confidence, beliefes in one´s abilities honesed to the highest possible level. However, common people would freeze and might be may unable to move! Probably there are some levels to which people might react. 0 level -freezing, Level 1 may be putting his bac inbetween them, level 2 moving in one of the dierections. Probably only level 3 might counteract and level 4 even to Gracie´s ground fighting. Any way, congratulation anad many thanks. Paul,68, retired instructor, for health reasons.

Great video, trained in different styles geared to self defense, our mind set is Do not box with a boxer, do not kick with a kicker,do not grapple with a grappler, do not fight their fight. Escape to gain safetey, in short, eyes,throat, Groin, shins. Thank you sir, you are a great instructor

[@victormarshall9765]

Simple technique...Self defense..OSU... Professor David.

[@complexblackness]

16:50 The grab of the back of the shirt, and pull down. That technique is taught by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Though I can't recall ever seeing it used.

[@marcogiordano1019]

Yes, thank you self defense is good, but in this case I think you should also emphasize that an effective self defense requires an absolute NO HESITATION reaction...once the regular Joe hesitates the attacker just goes for it....Thank you for the clarity of reality based self defense.

[@paolosmaldone8347]

Reality is adrenal stress, tunnel vision,rage and an hard sidewalk or stairs not a BJJ mat.Thanks!

[@efontanez79]

Excellent explanation sir may I suggest that you collaborate with a Gracie Juijitsu professor to speak on these topics while explaining what it talked about. That would be one fantastic video. Yes there is a difference between BJJ and Gracie JJ.

[@novicetech1]

I absolutely love this guy. I was into karate, taekwondo, jujitsu, and a bit of kung fu for over 35 years, and I was good. Now, at 72 years old, I am not that guy anymore. What this man is teaching gives me back the ability to walk down the street knowing that I'll be ok if something happens. Thank you Professor.

[@jodykwik]

Clear as anyone that's ever taught, Professor Dave. Amazing.

[@ilikewaffles6907]

Glad you went over the v angels and vision breathing and bal. Got to get that in my head. Thanks God bless you and Kenny

[@markburch8370]

Like the video professor can't wait to start training with you And Kenny Again.

[@isdifww]

Prof. James, I have been trying to get a hold of you.

[@soulsearching7336]

Very well put. Once again breaking down the situation and simplifying it to the degree where the average joe can comprehend. Other reasons (which the Professor mentioned in other video's) not to go to the ground are: 1. A fight is fluid so one doesn't know who will impact the concrete. And the pavement is very hard. and 2. You don't know how many friends your opponent has with him? Who may attack you when you two get to the ground. Too many variables even for a trained fighter like a Gracie. So much can go wrong in those few moments. That said, Blessings to all this holiday season. Stay safe. Ous.

[@michaelfraser4929]

As always - Great work. MIND SET !! Are you purpose driven? Put purpose in the forefront. Beautiful.

[@michaelfraser4929]

Congratulations ... I am happy to be seeing ads as I view this video and know it is contributing to VAJ as an institution. Driven to completion!

[@MASCULINE_MELANIN89]

Salute Soldiers. Professor you are the absolute best at reality based self defense. Makes perfect sense to me.

[@ddragon1235]

I absolutely loved this Sir.

[@Fred-px5xu]

Thank you Sir for reminding the choir what really works when the stuff hits fan.

[@gregorygray2403]

Sensei,AMEN...!!!!

[@suzanneornstein3520]

Excellent video, one of your best imo, agree with multiple attackers scenario why ground is dangerous and I’ve trained a lot of it, but I believe the kicking entry is always dangerous too, weather slipping etc I prefer your other options.

[@zohartoriz4105]

Outstanding video, techniques, and insights. Thanks a lot. Ya'll are the best!

[@morganharlock3381]

BASED.

[@qadirshabazz3495]

CONSCIOUS THOUGHTS...

[@Steve2112Rocks]

Great explanations. Its amazing to me how many people can’t separate the difference between a fight and self defense! Avid self defender here! Been engaging as a self defender for almost two tears and we employ many of the exact same concepts. We also have martial artists in our dojo with karate, kung fu, Jiu jitsu, backgrounds and they thrive using these self defense concepts. “ IF JACKASS IS YOUR DISCIPLINE, THEN JACKASS LOST TODAY!” 😂

[@gregtyler9473]

I love the videos I want learn you and kenney are the best teachers

[@chriswarren3548]

100 percent great video. I would love to hang out with you guys. Cw cincinnati

[@jamesfloyd5407]

Well done sir peace

[@djgemini4723]

Great video

[@petegonzales9248]

I just want you to know that your video's make your self defense technics makes a whole lot of sense and I will keep watching them.

[@georgemartinezjr]

You also keep it simple

[@diakidis3167]

Your approach is so wonderful, the genius is in the simple moves, they can be applied by themselves, or they can be incorporate in any martial art. When you say V step, GoJu Ryu has the same concept, movements at a 45 degree angle. You and Kenny and your staff are just simply wonderful. Thank you so very much for what you guys do.

[@darrenkostrzewski9622]

Superb video 🙏👌

[@Jupiterxice]

The thing is these Jits or Bjj fanatics they can be sadly get rude awaken when the fighter has grappling and hybrid striking abilities.

[@scarred10]

You'll probably never be randomly atta Kerry by a trained mma fighter,

[@jessiecarter7887]

All I can say is, wow, that's amazing, and I love it. I'll keep following you

[@willswoopes5748]

Great video. I'm digging the mindset, and the technique is real world. It makes sense.

[@willismartin9196]

Thank you 😊

[@benzer888]

That was great ok, thanks

[@chuychampion8762]

Love it thank you Professor .

[@Voxclamantis]

Love it!

[@georgemartinezjr]

This for reality The Bad Guy does not stand still while. You do your Fancy moves motion causes MOTION

[@neilbeech4093]

That was a great video!! I love self- defense!!

[@djignatin4043]

LOL. I think you need to both. Thank you professor.

[@leroygreen8629]

I love this system it reminds me of tai jitsu

[@royradcliff2252]

I like your way of thinking I like all your videos be safe 🇨🇱🇺🇸💪

[@TheEtbetween]

Wow! Great lesson

[@ferdinandbuss9859]

You are the best. 😊

[@TheEtbetween]

Very helpful

[@Shaun_X]

Grappling as a non expert to me just seemed like an unsafe option, for a regular guy in self defence, even before I watch this video.

[@Bill-s8p]

OSU!!!!

[@TheEtbetween]

This Guy great

[@paulswift6595]

Great explanation but think my volume stuck on high ok I'm in my 60's

[@JohnReimann1]

Why not go directly for the face when you enter instead of grabbing around the body?

[@michaelfraser4929]

As a public service, I will add two other Vee A J JuJitsu youtube videos here that underscore this point on fighting vs. self-defense that I really liked. The one with the paint brush vs paint roller ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/hV7JeWCeg9WHqs0) and the older one about training to exploit your window of opportunity (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZndZ2p8jbade7c). Peace.
