How To Break People: Defensive Techniques With Dolph Lundgren

'80s action star Dolph Lundgren shows Lifehacker how to defend against an attack using only your body. This video demonstrates how to fight your way out of a variety of situations -- from escaping a strangulation attempt to taking down an aggressive drunk.

I sat next to him outside a 7-eleven last summer in stockholm. I Was kind of starstruck 😂 bit he was just out for a bike ride and needed a vreak i guess

[@403patriot3]

one of the most interesting dudes on the planet and my personal favorite action star, a lot more to his guy than meets the eye. of all the poser-ass action stars of the 80's and 90's, the dolph is still around because he's a legit toughguy. intercontinental karate champion, nuclear physicist, hollywood actor...when chuck norris is gone, the world will be telling dolph lundren jokes. (too bad the dolph's no joke)

[@ToyKingWonder]

Every time I see a video of him he seems to be gracious and pleasant. And he is in total shape all these years. Just goes to show you that if you keep up the effort, you can stay looking good. Look at how Jack LaLanne lived!

[@CosmosZeroX]

the movie universal soldier was interesting because the two main actors Lundgren and Van Damme were real fighters in their best years. Both of them very nice and friendly and master fighters. That was something special. Because you don't regularly see a movie with not only one but 2 real fighters in the main role.

[@despayre3914]

@@CosmosZeroX Par for the course in most Asian movies.

[@Shadowrulzalways]

Dolph Lundgren is a Kyokushin Karate black belt. Literally the most practical form of Karate and the strongest. So he is showing basic self-defense techniques in Kyokushin Karate.

[@Johnflugelhorn]

Right on Dolph. I have used some of those techniques and they do work.

[@nemass26]

That's pretty cool. Dolph lungren is a really cool guy. It would be interesting to see Dolph in the masters of the universe film that is being developed at the moment. Seeing Dolph play king randor or king greyskul would be so awesome

[@arthurwatts1680]

I remember seeing a photo of Dolph ripping into some poor bastard when he was doing Kyokushin here in Oz way back in the late 70s and thinking 'That guy could tear your head off before he ever set foot in a dojo !'' Hard to beat those Viking genetics.

[@SoylentGreeeen]

That guy is so happy to be beat up by Dolph.

[@hanifarjo5434]

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

[@lairdriver]

It's nice not having the 'but he's not MMA' crowd around. He's showing street fighting and self defence techniques..

[@theboltthrower8661]

Totally agree!! I love MMA, but YT MMA nerds are so fuckin annoying.

[@zackurban]

Dolph's a serious striker, even mma enthusiasts wouldn't dare to talk about him. He's got a black belt in karate and is huge.

[@GuzQuebec]

But he's not MMA

[@Amadeus_Eisenberg]

MMA is for safely fighting in a cage. No defense against weapons. And you don't want to be on the ground either in a street fight. Give a man a weapon or some unsafe non-cage fighting martial art skills and mma will be defenseless.

[@GuzQuebec]

@@Amadeus_Eisenberg i can remember some mma fighter dking great in real fight situation even against armed people. And Jiu-Jitsu shines as self-defense martial art if you trained for that like Rickson says you should.

[@Kev80ification]

Great guy! Good advice given!

[@ScholarsInk]

80s action star and bareknuckle knockdown karate champion. That part is worth stating! It isn't a case of two week pre filming boot camp for him.

Dolph needs no techniques, the mere sight of him is intimidating to any perp.

[@danfors1333]

Actually a couple of robbers who broke in to his house fled in panic when they saw a photo of him on the wall.

[@ThePenroseIncident]

Well i've been told it's the other way around. I got this friend, 195cm, 130 kg, always getting picked by small nervous blocks who try to impress girls or buddies. I'm a small fellow myself and no one never argue with me, i'm random.

[@Elriuhilu]

It totally works. I'm quite tall and built like a fridge, and I've gotten out of fights when I've been out in town just by drawing myself up to my full height and looking upset. It's good because I really don't want to be in a fight.
