How To Deal With A Sucker Punch

[@alonzocoyethea6148]

Yo Kevin..I quit sparring at 55 ( Krav Maga, Judo and Boxing, 62 now) But still work the bags. When using the round-ball, I 'll get it moving around fast , then stick my face right in its path and "slip" before it can hit me. Being strong helps..I only clock in at 135 but got a 275 bench and 325 squat. Last month a guy with about 70 lbs on me took 2 sucker shots at me-The first I slapped aside, the 2nd I caught open handed and kicked him in the jewels so hard you heard the smack. Fight over. Thank God I still got it!!

[@jeffyoung60]

Hi Alonzo. Being around the same age group as you, what's your recommendation for old folks, way past their physical prime, who are interested in simply the fundamentals of effective, basic self-defense. I remember looking at the 1927 defense combative, "Defendu", invented by William Fairbairn. Something like that would be ideal as it took mere months to master, not years. But as far as I know, while Defendu exists today as the core art of many militaries' hand-to-hand combatives, it itself is no longer taught around the world.

[@DJK-cq2uy]

I'm 260 n can only bench 900 and squat 2400000..us that good? 😂😂

[@m.1409]

Definitely underated Channel...keep going pls...

[@dynamicdavid]

😂 Absolutely Agree! Stellar content!

[@jeremydehart7466]

I agree 💯👍🏼

[@dustin2250]

"Situational awareness" excellent advice. Fantastic channel. Always great instructions, clear and concise.

[@Selfdefensegoat]

Thanks for watching

[@robertrodriguez787]

Yeah it's good advice if there coming at you in Front of you . But Supposed someone hits you from Behind . I mean most people that Cheap Shot you ain't gonna do it to your face were you can Block a Punch ✊👊 or Kick 🦵🦶👣

[@howardb.728]

You are, without doubt, the most honest and effective educator I've had the pleasure of seeing. Thanks you so much for your dedication to honest, practical self defense. Outstanding!

[@jdzen8548]

u dont get out much, do u?

[@adammcwey7237]

Not sure why the KZbin algorithm showed this guy... but I'm glad it did. Great lesson.

[@MSA3568]

Situational awareness can save your life. Thanks for your well documented and executed illustrations man! ✌️

[@rockycologne603]

Dude, your the bomb! Wish I could train with you….your freakin awesome. Your demeanor is off the charts. Peaceful and yet effective.

[@jamesmunroe6558]

Excellent coverage of several factors that come into play in this kind of situation. Well done!

[@AM-db2uf]

I often use the phone/earbuds as a cover ...keep chin down and focus on my surroundings. This has made it easier for me to separate people who do not care vs. those focusing on you - and you are prepared.

[@jameshileman9326]

I am in security and appreciate you. Great advice. Well done my brother !!!

[@urbangorilla6733]

Know your surroundings. Leave that damn phone in your pocket till you're locked inside your car or at home.

[@JunebugPresents]

Great demo. And yes, that is one of the many aikido deflections. "Situational Awareness" is great advice and also something one learns in randori. And the Tai-Chi movement. What nice combos. You're a bad dude.

[@gregdavis19]

I’ve been sucker punched when I was younger and never saw it coming because it was dark outside. I just moved quickly to create separation.

[@456steel]

Great stuff... I've been practicing Wing Chun for almost 6 years and love your videos... Thanks

[@Selfdefensegoat]

Thanks for watching

[@douglassinclaire9968]

yes that bullet skull thing is an issue for some calibers, even cases of some 9mm doing that.

[@scottlaroc7396]

HUSS GREAT DEMO…. Love the parrying of blocks and strikes. The detail to the blocks are A+ …And as he said people, pay attention to your surroundings at all times.

[@allans7281]

Excellent demonstration you’re a wonderful instructure easy to follow along. Off-duty 70 yr old San Bernardino sheriff actually got hit with a sucker Punch, got knocked to the ground and died during a road rage fender bender confrontation. Always keep your distance and be prepared

[@dynamicdavid]

Yes, and Also Carry Self protection including 4-in-1 Tear Gas Pepper spray with UV ink plus a MACE type STUN gun Flashlight 🔦 because a flashlight can BLIND a attacker before you Spray with Tear Gas w/ Pepper 🌶 type mace! (producers of videos: offer these via Amazon! Thanks for Fantastic content!

[@stevenlees8504]

Glad you pulled through.Always leave them wanting less.

[@yyxy.oncesaid]

​@@stevenlees8504 nothing happened to the guy that wrote the comment.He was talking about a cop

[@angelfernandez6804]

Online classes like this would be awesome. 👊

[@xXDDKJefferyXx]

i love your teaching style however i must say that THERE IS NO DEFENSE AGAINST A SUCKER PUNCH as a true sucker punch is the one you dont see comin you cant defend if you arent aware. that is why before any techinque is taught you need to drill situtational awareness

[@Selfdefensegoat]

Agreed, most important thing to train for self defense

[@markjvervecka4299]

Some of best self defense advice. Keep it coming.

[@justinm412]

A moment of silence for the brave people in your videos. They sacrificed so we could all learn 😂

[@cbwelch4]

This guy’s a good instructor. I can tell. Shell block.

[@samueltheye5619]

Learn to go with it for hopefully to make space or roll away.

[@ericrobinson1789]

Really appreciating these defensive tactics.

[@rocknjock872]

Biggest key of information here is when he talked about covering the occipital region of the head/back of the neck. What he says is 100% true. At the least, if you take a shot there you will be dizzy and to defend yourself after that will be very challenging. I love the realism in your instruction because during times like these the reality is that you will get hit. So your instruction of making that a reality and to protect from vital blows is great.

[@rafaelsanntana4796]

This tecnique is Very using in The Aikidô

[@jimmybutler1379]

DEFLECT AND GRAB REDIRECT THE POWER OF YOUR ATTACKER AGAINST THEM AND DIRECT THEM TO THE GROUND AND HELP THEM FALL STRAIT DOWN TO GROUND UNABLE TO DEFEBD THEM SELVES FROM HITING THE GROUND HARD FACE FIRST !...

[@AlexTseng007]

It's good to witness that Tai Chi can be applied in this defending scenario! Thanks for your teaching, Kevin Goat.

[@dasgespenst979]

Awesome content as always! Keep up the great work

[@chester-chickfunt900]

Excellent as usual. Much appreciated. Selection never ends.

[@MikMarr]

4:34 that arm over arm is actually a great defense against straight on, up the middle kicks. It'll leave ur forearms bruised but the pain is surprisingly minimal.

[@padaudio6969]

Nah it‘s horrible! Never go with 2 arms to one arm. One in one out - this is one of the most basic rules of VT. And even worse: crossing arms. You‘ll be instantly trapped and knocked out if sb can fight and knows some basic VT technique. Realtime is much too fast for this fancy looking bong tan. Unfortunately doesnt work if the other one knows how to move

[@tonytony3895]

Your presentation is highly interesting to watch. Thank you very much and take care

[@fuyu5979]

Started watching ur uploads on You Tube SHORTS. Very interesting n informative especially utilizing various influences of martial arts styles. Will incorporate ur teaching in self-defense street fighting. New subscriber because of ur SHORTS. Anticipating ur next upload. Peace

[@xiaolongma986]

great video...perfect explaination. THX Kevin!!!!

[@Selfdefensegoat]

Thanks for watching

[@samueltheye5619]

You are right about all I've witnessed and experienced.

[@horst3k457]

Schon der erste Tip ist wirklich gut. Ablenkung vermeiden, die Umgebung beachten. Ich habe nie Ohrstöpsel dabei. Immer die Hände frei und oder erhoben. Kin runter Stirn zum Gegner ist so wichtig. Selbst mit nem Boxhandschuh merkt man noch wie hart dieser Bereich ist. Für Brillenträger wie mich ist das unfassbar wichtig. Haut dir einer voll aufs Auge ist es direkt vorbei! Glassplitter und ggf. Metall im und um das Auge ist katastrophal. Hervorragend demonstriert. Ich neige zu dem guten upchauligi in die Weichteile sobald es unfair wird. Oben Kontrolle unten rum schnell einen raushauen und dann oben mit Wirkung arbeiten. Deine Art die Hände und Arme zu bewegen ist wirklich meisterhaft. Respekt

[@TheFaustianMan]

Dude, here in NYC a cab jumps the corner it doesn't matter if you're blindfolded, you cannot react fast enough. It's all luck. Same with a sucker punch. The whole idea is to hit someone who isn't going to see it coming.

[@45gloak]

I totally agree, you are usually hit by the sucker punch when you are looking away. The average person cannot defend against it. Going to have to take the punch and react after.

[@jamespmullin21753]

In public, i was suckered twice, but the sucker punch failed both times. Both attackers were downed by a right shuto to the left side of their necks. My trained reflexes saved me from harm, my reflexive fighting came from gojuryu budo. PS I was in my 50s, the two men were 30 or under in age.

[@artredoubt3629]

Thank you, kind gentleman. very good info. Love your tone. We all must learn to get along.

[@ton_of_youtube1831]

Great material Kevin. Keep up the great work.

[@vaderenseun]

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing on KZbin. Best regards.

[@Sabamonster]

There will never be a best-case scenario. It's all about preventing the *worst* - case scenario.

[@gladius2489]

Head on a swivel, don’t be caught unaware. I developed this as a habit from my work. Tucking the chin should become instinctive. I developed this from fighting. I once took 3 solid punches on the forehead while trying to restrain a guy. Didn’t even faze me.

[@stevenlees8504]

Very functional mechanics.

[@samuelflorez1461]

Kool .Kevin, continue on , great moves

[@dwaynedumalanta9590]

Thanks for being real!

[@phillwho2934]

You’re the man brother

[@jeremydehart7466]

Oh yeah, and stay humble friend.👍🏼

[@ivanriverajr5012]

It's called galaxy pro buds with ambient sound. You here cars when they honk. Music turns off so you can hear your surroundings. Also, pickup on voice as well.

[@miamichi5]

Nice techniques 👍. But still to this day. I'm yet to see any1 be able to block. A full force sucker punch in the streets. Thanks.

[@alexblue6991]

I have been trained in boxing and takwondo and karate but I must admit some of this is new to me my age 71yr old I stopped training months ago I still do bare knuckles planks on a wooden floor most days being from Glasgow Scotland I been involved in a few fights mostly because of my dogs

[@rosscoyle4381]

I like the way you talk about multiple attackers. There’s never a fair street fight. Usually 2 or more onto one. It’s a sad fact. Something that must be trained for.

[@alkman9880]

R U GOOD OR R U GOOD? I SAY U R VEEEEEERY GOOOOODDDD!!!!

[@renehouse2015]

7:45 "So you pull..." WHOA!... wait... stop. If with your left hand you're holding him just above the elbow, and after sliding your right hand down the arm towards the wrist, why would you give up such an advantageous position to throw a punch? In that moment, it's like hitting the lottery and saying, keep the money, I don't want it.Why would you do that? From that position continue sliding the right hand all the way down to your opponents clenched fist then cup it and turn outward like you would opening a door knob. That will cause his head and upper body to start leaning forward and downward. With your left hand that's just above his elbow, start applying pressure as if you want to break the arm at the joint and ride the slide. You can ride him face first all the way into the ground then slightly adjust the contact with the right hand so that you immediately apply a wrist lock while carefully maintaining the physical contact the whole time and the fight pretty much ends right there. If you want or need to, you can apply more pressure to the wrist lock while bending his hand backwards and tear some ligiments, or you can dislocate/break him at the elbow with more pressure and or a forceful downward hit at the elbow.

[@Timotheus157]

Situational awareness is highly important. Knowing the layout of the battlefield brings one closer to victory. The goal is not the fight but the escape to safety. If one has no escape then the enemy must be neutralized. How that happens is what self defense is all about. This may include the legal use of a gun. Just saying...lol.

[@jesseeichelberger1350]

To be such a young knowledgeable sensi is rare because me being a early member of the b.d.f.s.,of the 70's (the original) I am a registered warlord, it's just good to see that make it plain and simple with out everybody getting all stressed out and forgetting the most important things. I seen guys jumping up and down saying "I got island after the first punch they race to the ground screaming "I don't got it" outstanding simply outstanding.

[@Tsuyoikaratekai1998]

Thank you, great explanation.

[@raymond4u100]

Thank you for this

[@stevent4955]

This guy would be the ULTIMATE bodyguard

[@DJK-cq2uy]

Your sincerity!!!😊

[@BigDaddyJinx]

People's utter lack of spatial awareness never fails to amaze me. Not even kidding. I see it every day and I ask myself "How could you NOT have seen/heard that?" People seriously have no sense of self awareness or their immediate surroundings. No wonder so many make for such easy marks.

[@davidav8orpflanz561]

And...that's why you always "Double Tap" (two rapid shots) when shooting someone!!!

[@jamespmullin21753]

Strike with the hand that you block or deflect the enemy attack with.

[@jetskiwrench4093]

Thank you, Sifu

[@Sid-ri1iy]

Sounds good, except the head movement alone to defend from people who dight dirty. For a punch it would work, but not for a dirty strike. Those additonal arm blocks made it reasonable for defense.

[@edwardphillips4586]

I'm partially deaf. I would rather keep my eyes looking all directions and keep my head on a swivel, and try to pay attention to see how close others are. So I can judge the distance of people. If I don't know the people, I would distance myself 3 feet. If I know the place and the people there 2 feet. Always judge distance and look all directions. Don't play on your phone,don't look in your wallet,dont look into your purse. You should have your keys out and put your finger on it ready to jabb into the threads

[@ElectricBurgers]

Excellent thanks Master.

[@williamsheppard8738]

You should put around 5:30 on the cue ball because you are pass 45° but I'm sure you know that

[@germanshepherdlover2613]

Great Wing Chun skills here 😁

[@jeremydehart7466]

I think I’ll subscribe to your channel. I like what I see, and I need a little memory refreshing. I used to do MMA myself, but I have quite a few health problems that want allow me to do it anymore. I miss it so much man!!

[@horst3k457]

Versuche es mit Tai Chi. Wenn du stehen und deine Arme bewegen kannst geht das gut. Dabei ist alles schön langsam und sehr kontrolliert. Ich wünsche dir gute Besserung ❤

[@zapas3429]

Buen canal suscrito, veré más vídeos...un saludo desde Madrid

[@Alcs_hobbies]

Awesome all true, never a fair fight…

[@christoffer32]

Looks like beginner kenpo karate,,, mabe im wrong.;)) Nice,,, thanks 4 share

[@rockago55]

you explanie very well good teacher

[@cryptonoobsnews1]

Great training

[@WCtrainer1]

This cross hands followed by a lap sau will just not happen 99% of the time in an open strike. In fights everything is happening fast. You simply will not have time to cross that hand then have the time to lap then proceed with a punch and expecting the opponent not to be countering or throwing a flurry of punches. Trapping hardly ever happens at the initial strike with a fast punch coming towards you. Effective trapping is effectively used when you are already in a grappling position and both have a hold of each other.

[@DxModel219]

lap sau is pretty quick and easy… it’s like a shoulder roll but yah if they attack you from behind or while you’re not paying attention not much u can do… just gotta be more aware

[@indigomontoya1970]

Do you know how to defend against the sun when you wear sunglasses?

[@burrellstouffer2817]

Thank you sir

[@Jeru22]

Real life scenarios versus all the other bullshit you say. This is solid.

[@Kal-El-sonKrypton]

Self aware is first defense. Know your surroundings

[@misterlau5246]

At that first example, that was very foolish to walk down the street without "eyes in front, private!" 🤨

[@hasj]

Thank you for this lesson 🙏 you are motivating me to start martial arts

[@MikMarr]

IF u c a punch coming at ur head, that should give u the time to duck or roll out of it thereby AVOIDING getting hit. Let's remember: sum ppl will wear such things as brass knuckles.

[@MickeyNutz54]

This guy is 22? Love these videos

[@MikMarr]

00:45 worst case is getting hit (or being placed n a rear naked choke) FROM BEHIND!!

[@alexobrien9063]

Thanks!

[@rbspider]

Wonder if you have seen the encounter in NYC where one guy leg sweeps the other guy and once down the attacker uses his foot several times to kill the victim . At one point the bad guy bends down to tee up the victims head. I have never seen something so sick. Once out the victim is robbed.

[@sopwithcamelus]

Good stuff.

[@HK-el4xv]

Good tech

[@prishammadura4383]

Good techniqu

[@justin57153]

catching the arm mid-air... yeah.

[@mlongpre100]

the most important thing is knowing you can take a punch . you can only know this by getting punched in the head by a big guy who wants to fuck you up . once you know this most of the fear dissipates

[@buenardhayes1866]

I have no one to practice with do you have a school

[@nabarunsengupta1651]

Wish I could go to your school
