YOU MOST READ THIS, THE BEST SURVIVAL TRAINING IS THIS. Most of these attackers, have truma/ posttraumatic stress disorder (ptsd) and bad childhoods. The best way is to show them love and respect tell them that you cares about them, give them promise and hope that they will look forward to, that will enable them not to killed you because you have give the hope/assurance. "Because they value what you have or what you can give them, not you" If it's female attacking you tell her that you love her so much give her romantic vibes promise or maybe if you don't have any promises even lies, can work. Remember be loyal to your promises/lies. If it's male show him respect, give him inspirational/Motivational vibes. Or make deal with him, deal in the sense that it promises, say ok if you don't kille me I will give you this or that. By doing that you show Sense of Phycology/emotional intelligent. Always remember to be Persuasive/Manipulative. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS MANIPULATE THE MIND OF THE ATTACKERS=AND USING THE TECHNICE. IF YOU FAILE TO USE BOTH OF THAT YOU'RE DEAD. ROBERRY'S LIKE WHEN SOMEONE SHOWS THEM LOVE, RESPECT, PERSUASIVE, AND MANIPULATIVE. REMEMBER DON'T RETALIATE IF THE ATTACK IS TOO INTENSE USING ANY TECHNICS YOU ARE HAVING. NOT STUPID ONE BUT BRILLIANT ONE, SIMPLE MISTAKE WILL MAKE YOU LOSE YOUR LIFE. IMPORTANT: IF IT'S TO ASSASSINATE YOU. REMEMBER THE STORY OF, DAVID AND KING SAUL. In (1Samuel-26:1-25) BE SURE TO READ THAT EXCELLENT STORY PLEASE 🙏 CAUTION: I'M NOT AN EXPERT. ALL WHAT MENTIONED ABOVE IS BASED ON REAL LIFE SITUATIONS. I HOPE IT WILL BE HELPFUL. MAY THE LOVE OF GOD BE WITH YOU IN ANY PROBLEMS.

@@Joel796. This is just a bunch of mushy Satanic bullshit. It's false love. You said, "CAUTION: I'M NOT AN EXPERT. ALL WHAT MENTIONED ABOVE IS BASED ON REAL LIFE SITUATIONS. "" No kidding, you're not an expert on anything, much less logic, because you just contradicted yourself. An expert has real life experience, which you claim to have, but never explain what that is. So why should anyone listen to you and read your wall of text? You don't know Jesus Christ, either. Jesus Christ moved believers to wage war, but it was done by His wisdom and leading. You're just spamming whatever comes to mind. You're not really coherent, but the gist of what I'm seeing is just "Oh, words will stop an aggressor!" Yeah, no. If someone is intent on killing you, they're usually past the point of listening. So your drivel is just emotional nonsense.

[@nicholaspreston9586]

@@Joel796. "1Samuel-26:1-25" David had the opportunity to spare, so he did. He had every right to defend himself from Saul, who was after him and had lost the Lord's annointing. I don't think the Lord would have a problem with it had David defended himself and defeated Saul. However, God moved David to have mercy for His purposes. As for David, he trusted the Lord with his life, even under threat (and yes, David did fight and kill. You ignore that, conveniently). This DOES NOT remove the need for people to defend themselves - believer or unbeliever - to stop evil. We have plenty of vermin running around destroying and killing. Your spiel here reeks of Ashtoreth worship.

You are very correct regarding law enforcement training. In my old department many officers fired they handguns once a year at the annual training and qualification. And we did semi-annual PPCT reviews for 1 hour. I was part of a small group of “weirdos” who trained with our sidearms regularly and I took Muay Thai classes.

[@Afed390]

Love this quote by Jocko

[@entropiated9020]

One aspect of "learning to fight" that is generally ignored is learning how to take a hit so you don't get a major shock when it happens in real life. I recall attending some martial arts classes where they were very uncomfortable when I told them to hit me progressively harder at my invitation. I wanted to get acclimated to the feeling of hard contact, but this part of the equation seems to get ignored.

[@haveaday1812]

Exactly. Sparring is as important as learning the actual fundamentals. But, even the most dangerous man in the world in unarmed combat can get snuck, or can get a knife to the kidney or can get shot. Real violence Is usually random, calculated by the aggressor, and the victim is always at a disadvantage when it comes to the initiative. No Amount of training can beat situational awareness. Just pay attention to your surroundings, to the subtle cues that things are not quite right, and stay out of places you know you probably shouldn’t be. Then you’ll avoid 99 percent of most violent encounters.

Self defense is NOT about fighting. It's about thwarting an attack and escaping. Also, self defense must also be coincide with additional training, such as what jocko stated. Most good self defense training teaches you NOT to fight because you know nothing of your opponents skills, desires, weapons or willingness to harm you.

[@Lovell93]

[@nickt3169]

I’ve been working in law enforcement for several years now and the “train 20% of the work week” idea is great in theory but unfortunately it’s not feasible for the vast majority of departments out there. Most departments are understaffed and mandatory overtime is often needed just to get the minimum amount of officers on the streets everyday. Most departments are not going to be able to pull on duty officers away from their actual work for 20% of their week and still properly function.

[@davidcarik1761]

I agree with you. This might be a good goal to reach one day but it's not really workable in the current condition of most departments. That being said, the old phrase "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good." (or something like that) applies I think to the subject of Police training. Can't train 20% of the time? Ok, but could you send 10 Officers a YEAR to say.....the "Sheepdog Response" course they talked about? Can you add ONE more DAY of DT or Shooting to each Quarters training this year? A half day? Can a Department fix up or buy new equipment for their range or DT room? I think even measurably "small" changes in a Departments DT/Shooting/First Aid/Fitness program(s) will have HUGE results in the long term. Small changes might just add up to BIG results in safety and training proficiency. My opinion.

[@bentaylor8038]

This is not much of an excuse for me, and I'll tell you why. People shouldn't be employed in jobs they aren't suited for or don't already have the qualifications for. Period. If someone doesn't know how to fight or grapple or wrestle or shoot straight...if those aren't the sort of interests that someone already has and has already pursued to some degree...they should have NEVER been a police officer in the first place. Here's an example from another profession so as to compare: You can't become a computer programmer without already knowing how to program computers, and then spend all day at work looking at facebook or some other completely unrelated task, and later complain that you never had time to learn how to program because you spent so much time at work. That's retarded.

Today's street violence mostly means is that other person has no qualms about killing u...I repeat a violent robber has no plans to "defeat" u , actually he is ready to kill u for no reason. A violent criminal will use anything as lethal weapon...Guns,machetes,knives,cars,wires,,rock,stones ,any heavy physical object etc. And here is the truth... Many people are good martial artists but not violent people....And the harsh reality is that more violent you are then more is the chance of you coming out on top in the streets.

I’m a retired Cop after 25+ years. I’ve been in a lot of fights. The amount of training police need isn’t the amount of training they get in fighting. Or anything else for that matter. The best advice I have when it comes to fighting is if you’re using a technique, which isn’t working, you need to change techniques. The sooner a Use of Force ends, the less likely you are to getting hurt.

[@Luv2tickt]

Not only do law enforcement officers not train 20% of the time, as in this day of dangerously understaffed departments, the type of training officers would need would never be approved by the state training and standards. Furthermore, the type of tactics that officers need to use to win over a violent subject have been banned by their departments and in many cases, criminalized by the state, and now even the federal government. That is all deliberate and has been since 2009 in order to demoralize good cops to get out altogether.

My father always was a proponent for martial arts (I personally am a 3rd degree black belt in Wado Ryu out of the Westchester Academy on 87th street in Los Angeles) but he used to say, in one variation or another that “violence is a language like English or Spanish. If you try speaking English to a person who only understands Spanish, then your message will not be conveyed and won’t be communicated. Some people speak the language of violence and if you don’t know how to speak that language yourself you’ll be at their beck and call when it’s time to speak it” I’m happy to say that I’m well versed in the language of violence.

I was fortunate enough to receive training in krav maga from actual serving Israeli military - before it turned into the cash-cow boxercise bullshit it is now. They all pretty much said the same thing - you get in a knife fight, you WILL get stabbed. You're outnumbered? You're in deep shit. You think choreographed, flashy techniques will work in a real violent confrontation? Guess again. Best defence is a strong offense; Jocko is dead right on this. Boxing, Muay Thai for the fight on the feet, and BJJ and/or wrestling when it ends up on the ground - and they're 5yerw to help you get back to your feet asap. You start doing submissions in a street fight and your head is going to get stomped by his mates. Hard and fast, then get the hell out.

[@NoobZxReviewZ]

I'm glad you mentioned the watering down of Krav. I've been training in Krav for almost 5 years now, and luckily my school actually teaches us properly, lets us spar and kickbox, and pressure tests us on top of being realistic. When we learned knife defences, our coach literally told us to count how many times we got poked when attempting to grab the knife/hand. Really eye opening. They even go so far as to say if a fight happens, run! Compared to another local school that teaches its students to kick knives out of hands and one punch "finishes", its sad to see such a beautiful MA suffer the Seagal treatment. I've more recently been training BJJ too and its helped me get more comfortable on the ground (my Krav school had alot of JJ/Wrestling base). I do think Krav has more practical use for anything outside of a gym, but I also agree that if you learn straight MMA you're never going to be at a disadvantage for sure.

[@Stevie-74]

@@NoobZxReviewZ Hah, Seagal treatment. Absolutely agree; it really is a crying shame. As a result of that awful commercialisation you now have so many clowns calling it a rubbish system - and sadly, in many cases it now is. That stress training, sparring etc is absolutely essential. We'd regularly batter each other senseless in the pursuit of finding which techniques actually worked in high stress situations - and, shock horror, it was always the simplest ones. The more technical they got the harder it was to get right, a luxury you just don't have in a real confrontation. One of the Israelis we had over here (UK) said to some of us that even though krav has dozens of different techniques by the time you hit instructor level (including utterly useless stuff like 'hand grenade defenses'...), you've got loads of techniques you're expected to know. But he advised to learn around 10, the ones we deemed the most useful. And drill the hell out of them. That minimalist mindset has been really useful; and is why even a regular understanding of the basic principles of BJJ, boxing etc is a big advantage in a street confrontation. Edit: Oh dear god Sawyer, that kicking the knife out of the hand thing 😂😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️ Absolutely kills me dude lol. I left my club when my instructor - keen to rake in the cash by attracting the Jason Bourne wannabes - started teaching long weapon disarms.

I wish I had a higher focus in graveling as every seeming fight that hasn’t been one sided has ended up on the ground. I’ve taken a lot of defensive tactics and they for the most part focus on the planned out moves, which barring a few times have never worked well for me. Another big thing that I never got was the need for stamina as form fighting of martial arts is all time based and limited and a real fight is energy draining, quite quickly, and isn’t limited to time.

[@cotybowman8825]

My Dad, a Federal Agent that was killed in a helicopter crash used to say ALL THE TIME that a police officer should be someone who can win a street fight against multiple attackers. I cannot begin to count the number of fights he got in as an officer. He came home (before I was born) with multiple broken ribs (still arrested the guy). He and a fellow officer were in a fight with a very violent felon who broke the other officer's arm and dislocated my Dad's nose (still arrested the guy). After Dad's death, people that worked with him told stories about fights he had been in with criminals that my Mom and I had no idea about. He didn't want us to worry. The standards of police departments have seemingly dropped due to inability to recruit. This is a direct effect of the media trying to turn people against police. It's despicable the way officers are treated now.

[@thepain321]

Yep, but too many cops do horrible things. Have been wrong. Along with the tactic of escalation for any petty offense. Once a cop lies, makes someone’s life take a turn.

[@cotybowman8825]

@@thepain321 No one that I know (police officers especially and I know quite a few) disagrees that corrupt or dirty officers should be allowed a pass. My point is that you cannot paint around a million Americans as being racist or wanting to harm people on purpose. And to be clear, I am not suggesting that you are calling police racist or anything remotely like that. I'm referring to the media. There are exceptions. The officer that killed George Floyd should be on death row. I 100% agree with you that when an officer lies it can ruin a person's life. I have just lived on the other side of it where I remember as a kid that multiple people put death threats out on my Dad and they fully intended to carry it out. I believe that 9/10 officers are good people. The bad apples have to be fired and prosecuted. I believe that you and I most likely agree on much, much more than we disagree on the subject. It's great to be able to have discussions on sites like this. I wish that salaries and training budgets would increase dramatically so that it would attract more selection for the officer pool and would lower fatal encounters for officers, the public, and criminals included. The preservation of life is the first job of the police officer.

If someone is trained to fight though usually they understand and control emotions so you more than likely don’t fight some super experienced fighter but most people have a background of some type of physical sport or activity. Plain and simple don’t go out seeking fights because if you don’t know what you’re doing and want to do that you might piss the wrong person off

[@TheManCone]

You have Introverts and extroverts introverts are the guys staring off into the jungle then there are your extroverts screaming come get some and shooting anything that moves from any direction forward to hate kill they are not trained to control emotions they are encouraged to feel them like a ferocious dog we usually call them navy seals or just marines Don't assume everyone with training can control their emotions that's why you don't fuck with veterans and don't hire combat soldiers to be your police when they get home they will fick you up.

Law enforcement is a job that honestly has less risk then a large number of other jobs,its not even in the top 10 swat and warrant officers are about it when it comes to needing large amounts of combat training

[@jfkst1]

For death or permanent injury that is correct. For on the job injuries it is high.

The best self-defense you can learn is to always be aware of your surroundings. It’s that simple. Learn to read your environment and the body language of people around you. Be aware of your own body language. It’s amazing how effective these measures are at keeping you safe and preventing an attack upon yourself.

[@mattburns545]

“Gonna get wild” everyone fears the white belt lol

[@willbrink]

I have known and or worked with a various LEO's, and even those on the SWAT teams, where trained up on their own time and dime for the most part. When you work 40-60hours a week, have family, etc, and the $ it takes to get good training and or ongoing training, it makes it very difficult for them to be not just adequately trained, but able to train ongoing and retain those skills. Everyone says "LEOs need more training" but no one wants to pay for it. One major PD I knew well, reduced their 2x per year firearms qual (which was super easy BTW but another topic...) reduced it to 1X per year to save $. True story...

[@EnFuego79]

This is true of all state institutions as they violate the most basic tenants of economics. Anything state run via taxation is, by definition, a Socialist/Soviet system that suffers all of the pitfalls that the Nobel prize economist, Murray Rothbard, pointed out in his analysis of Soviet socialism: because the money coming in is completely divorced from natural supply/demand for the service, dislocations in capital allocation abound: agencies that don't need more, get more than they need, those that need more don't, and none of it has anything to do with the actual amount of crime, not to mention the political shenanigans and the massive conflict of interest in having state paid police, policing people who have their money taken by threat of force by the police. It's also obvious that those who pay the paychecks never get touched or, if they do, it's purely a political move having nothing to do with morals or ethics.

[@pixadragon46]

That DUST guy is legit

[@joshpointoh]

20%. 1 day per week. Does that really sound like excessive training for people who are walking around with guns and handcuffs and pepper spray and tasers and the authority to use all of them on you and imprison you... So, that person shows up to work 4 days per week to patrol the streets, and 1 day training on weapons, combat, de-escalating situations, medic training, even therapy sessions to prevent PTSD and burnout, volunteer work, community outreach... Defund the police? You want them to have LESS training??

[@jfkst1]

There is absolutely no appetite in America to increase the cost of their police force by 20% annually. Also, given how recruitment is based on lowest risk factors and NOT most capable of doing the job, you can give many current LEOs unlimited training time and they will NEVER be capable as they shouldn't even be LEOs in the first place. So really, it would require a 25% increase minimum for better recruiting, pay, and training.

I kickbox. I got jumped one time by a guy who very clearly knew how to box, and he got me by surprise. I managed to run, but not before taking some serious blows. Real fights aren't pretty. Just because you train doesn't mean you're gonna kung-fu you're way out of a streetfight.

A street fight or bar fight or club fight in Vegas…. Was always a higher possibility you would be in a fight with a novice or decent boxer or MMA student. That being said a larger amount of Vegas cops were training in MMA off duty as well. Vegas is a fighter town for sure.

What is Jockos thoughts on 52 blocks

[@LetsBeClear87]

Depends on the situation.. looks to me like there are 2 opposing takes and neither are wrong : 1st, if you might die anyway, try something wild bc it could work. Get dna under your nails. Stun and run. 2nd, if OTHERS lives depend on your obedience, then maybe don’t be a hero and get people killed unnecessarily.

[@nathanammon4021]

I wonder if some of that stuff might work sometimes I’m only saying that because of that video of that marine disarming that guy trying to rob that convenient store. It’s pretty slick the marine just turns and grabs the gun out of his hand but they have great situational awareness the perpetrators were completely stunned it was awesome. Most of that stuff I’d say you get yourself shot.

[@dominicvioli7098]

The number 1 thing people with no combat experience don't understand and will never understand untill they experience it is the negating factor of another human being. I have trained and completed my whole life and even I find myself falling victim to it. You will see one man on top of another and say to yourself " come on, just throw him off of you" or you will see two guys fighting for position and say to yourself "come on they aren't even doing anything" they so often view a fight through the first person perspective they fail to consider that opposite them is another human being with similar weight, strength, agression and will to survive.

[@Skalias]

people dont understand how tough having a human as an opponent in anything is too, obviously there'll be slouches but humans tend to be crafty and determined. you have to put a lot more in when you're against another person who wants to win

[@dominicvioli7098]

@mate oh you are so on point with this comment. Ive played so many sports growing up including division 1 football and still to this day I have never been more fatigued or expended as much energy as I did during wrestling matches or street fights. It's the act of planting your foot/feet into the ground and drawing energy up through your feet>knees>thighs>glutes>hips>core and then extending out through your arms and hopefully into the opponent. This kinematic sequence is the essence of all athletic motion and it is highly, highly fatiguing. A basketball player will do this when he jumps for a rebound or dunk or when he changes direction. Or a football player when they make a block or tackle or throw the ball down the field ect. But in every sport their is moments in between these burst of energy where the athlete can pace their output. In fighting the entire bout is essentially doing this over and over and over again. And it's not just when they strike. It's when a guy puts his weight into you, you have to plant your feet and draw energy to push back. When a guy does a head snap you have to plant to reisist. Every punch every kick every block every sprawl. It's all energy conservation.

[@MaddenMagician]

​@@Skaliastell me you've never fought them. Unfortunately I had the privilege of fighting for my life in prison quite a few times I'm an expert mixed martial artist trained with professionals for the last 15 years was considering trying to fight and now I'm just a corner man.

When I was a deputy Sheriff the physical means of control (that’s what it’s called) was beyond a joke. Fortunately I trained in martial arts (Goju Ryu) in a a fighting dojo before and during my career. That’s on the individual LEO because their departments will only train them to state standards that are only designed to reduce department liability. It’s a great time to be retired.

[@stephk5255]

Departments care about checking the "done" liability box, not the "done well" box. I work in one too. Regardless of what Jocko says, my Uechi Ryu dojo is a fighting dojo, also. I respect whatever someone will do to help themselves because departments won't do much for you.
