I love this teacher's method of teaching the emotional response, as well as the physical response. This is the exact reason that other methods of self defense haven't resonated with me, after having been faced with an attack; if you've never been attacked before, in that moment of the first strike, your first response is shock, which cripples you for at least a few seconds. I can see how practicing an actual attack, instead of just learning moves would be SO much more effective for helping a person to respond, instead of freeze. Even watching the videos, where you can see and feel the instructor's energy is so helpful in triggering that shock response. I really wish that this teacher would come to the U.S. to offer workshops. Also, I really love watching his girlfriend in action - it's so inspiring to me. I'm a 52 year old woman, so I'm not as spry or as strong as she is, but to see another woman being confident and handling an attack so capably makes me feel like it's something that I can do also. I asked my husband to practice these moves with me going forward - thank you for these videos!! Edit: I just found your online school - I'm so excited to get signed up!

The adrenaline dump can happen to anyone, even professional fighters. This is what is being shown, when you are grabbed violently, adrenaline floods your system. You will then be limited in what you can do, usually only the basic motor skills will work. So, once you get used to that feeling by using realistic training, this will make it easier to head but and throw the elbow.
@alexmousley721310 ай бұрын
I love your training style- it's so important to train realisitically so that you overcome the freeze response and respond instinctively to an aggressive attack. I did Ju Jitsu (ages ago) and the first things we learn are escapes from wrist holds- usually applying a "softener" or distraction such as a kick then using the leverage of the arm against the weakest part of a hold (where the attackers forefinger and thumb are). My favourate Ju Jitsu defence is against someone holding both arms behind your back (a nasty situation). It involves slamming youself backwards as you thrust both arms forwards folowed by a grab of one of the attackers wrists whilst applying a tight arm under that arm so that you can break the elbow, or, at least, control where the attacker goes (pain compliance). I like the training style and simplicity of techique in Urban combatives- no flowery ineffective moves and pressure training for real world situations.
@canadafree20879 ай бұрын
We had three variations of that but my fav was giving elbow after the body slam to free your arm. I never like wasting a move but in class you sometimes have to. In the video, it shouldn't just be a grab the neck/back for the knee strike, but the placement of the hand before the knee should be a hard hit to the neck. A chop-pull down, not a gentle slap-pull down. In class, of course you don't want to chop your partner hard.

Neurologically speaking this makes great sense. Get used to real psych/emo stress in the dojo, and then you are less likely to suffer an ''amygdala hijack'' (confusion, frozen terror etc) in a full-on situation. Most ''self defence'' classes teach people just enough to get themselves REALLY hurt in a ''live'' situation, but this /\ looks like it gives people way more of a fighting chance.

So true, not teaching the 'real world' shock of being attacked or intimidated and just assuming that we will all just apply defence, is bad. Nice people psychologically will always want to give the attacker the benefit of the doubt, almost as a 'is this really happening right now?'. Being taught to deal with the sudden stress of an attack and to not succumb to that is so important. My 2 cents ❤

Its always been a problem with training was always static training. Cause everyone is saying (i hope) who sets up a fight like this.

I think it helps doing the static for those that are not ready or understand form. I dont like it myself. Great content.

Yes, exactly , very few if any defence systems talk about the psychology of intimidation and the street reality. This is the real first step. Good people think that this will make them a bad person talking like this, or experiencing this, but this is what happens in real life. Only after you learn to be able to block and assimilate the violent language to the point which it becomes irrelevant and doesn’t elevate your fear any more that you can become a dangerous opponent/ defender, u need to be able to think clearly in these situations which hopefully will never happen to u. This can only be achieved thru practice. It’s mostly an elevated scared tactic to weaken u up. They know that aggression with the use of extreme profanity is used to get the upper hand. I seriously doubt they’re going to be reciting Shakespeare. One other technique that’s really helpful when you get rocked is to remember one key word that can help u in that situation to help your brain refocus. Only one word that u will know, because some of the times these offenders will try to hit your head/ brain first to disorient u, and at that point it’s critical to have one, so that u can survive the situation with good proven techniques! Knowledge, practice, and awareness is key, I also highly recommend some green beret survival combat techniques, no one knows better than them!

Wrist control was something I was very goodat in wrestling. If somebody grabs my wrist like that, I am twisting both of my hands inwards towards each other. Even if you were stronger than me, his thumbs are not and I can usually break a grip that way. Because I am pulling down, I am in an under hooks position to wrap my arms around his torso and either buckle them downwards or do a throw. I would not want to wrestle a stranger stronger than myself in a street fight, but this is a situation where it is too late. Grappling has already begun.

Old guy here. In my younger days, when I stretched a lot, I could easily deliver the underside of my foot to his chin, between both sets of arms. Quick and forceful. And he'd never see it coming. Drive his chin right up into his head. I was strong, too. Shoulder strength could easily deal with those arms you're sporting. I wasn't broad like a bodybuilder but thick like a tank. All rib cage. Good times. I look at this now and still imagine that WWE two-foot kick to the chest as a means of escape. Pull both feet up and explode them forward with a rotation in the hips. Again, he's not gonna expect that. Weird. I couldn't do either of those now. Your method seems much more cost effective.

Cool stuff. The thing with all drills though it's fine if the reaction is as shown. Fact in fighting, close heads means possible headbutt. So if your first strike was blocked by a head defensively. They will then have the upper hand and you may end up on the floor. Loved the intimidation drill. Spot on. It's a bit like training but never being hit, that's just not good in reality. Subscribed 👍

Many thanks for replying back like yourself, I'm a youngster as well. Like yourself, I've studied a few things and given me some of your past and knowledge. So I think it would be far that I passed on a few things I have learned if that's OK. I started weight training at 11 yrs old, went into Olympic lifing, and power lifting. I had to lose some weight. I also got into karate Shotokan for 3 years or more. I only got to a white belt, I had no support from my parents, but I knew 10 karters. Then I broke my ball joint in my ankle. I never got back into it. For some reason. But I had to have very good supportive weight lifting, and Shotokan instructors, they suspected I had very little support. Anyway, I got back into lifting and did a few bits and pieces. I learned to teach weights. Then I got into boxing at 16 yrs old, for 25 to 30 yrsI also took up a style of kung-fu for 16 to 18 years. I used to mix them both together. I also studied from a friend, Muay Thai, for a bit, that was very interesting, I did do for 1 yr Sambo. I'm still mixing it with the other things i was learning. But I had to stop that because it was causing me lower back pain. Sambo was very different from anything I knew of. But it was affecting my back too much, I was doing 4 sessions a week as well as some of the other things. I have had to stop any of the contact, seft defence stop because I was found out that I need a triple heart operation, which was a shock to me and all my friends. One year later, I had a brain injury illness. They don't know what caused it, but I was found on the floor blood out of my mouth. I was told. I woke up with memory loss, slightly paralysed at my right side and couldn't talk, that my friends couldn't yak and woffle on. This all started with the heart just over 3 years, and the brain injury illness started on Dec 18th, 2023. I haven't lost all of my memories lost, I can remember that I can drive, ride my motorbike, training. I sometimes wished I'd never recovered, but at least I've got back into my art stuff. Anyway, I apologise if I have waffled on to much. I look at life very different know???
