[@projectdren806]

8:29 someone may have mentioned this, but if you know how guns work, the slide doesn't go back until AFTER the shot is fired. The slide goes back to re-chamber a new round. At BEST he is just stopping the 2nd round from chambering. He absolutely still got shot once!

[@jamesfrankiewicz5768]

It's possible to push a slide back, before the trigger is pulled, (that's how you eject a round), but you could only pull it off from that position if, and only if, it has a light recoil spring (definitely not a gamble I would take). Heavy spring, nope, the whole pistol will start to move, which will signal the gunman to pull the trigger.

[@ncrshane1919]

@@jamesfrankiewicz5768 Actually with most modern handguns it is possible to push it far enough "out of battery" to make the gun unable to fire with very little pressure. It only takes a very small amount of movement, around 3mm to 5mm, to pull it off. This is a design feature to make sure the explosion of the round is properly contained, if the slide isn't locked to the barrel it can cause pressure to go backwards into the gun and cause damage or injury. It's actually pretty common for the person with the gun to accidentally do this by pushing the gun into the person they have at gunpoint. As with any technique for when you are at gunpoint, I see them as a nuclear option. If the person with the gun has given you the impression that they are going to kill you regardless, you don't really have much to lose by trying something.

[@jamesfrankiewicz5768]

@@ncrshane1919 Depends on the caliber and manufacturer. I have a S&W99 in .45 that if someone were to try that on me, my wrist, elbow, shoulder, or torso will probably move from the applied force before that slide moves out of battery. Super beefy spring on that one. Baretta 92 (M9), yeah that one moves out of battery if you look at it wrong. Glocks, at least the models that I have handled (G17, G19, and G20), have pretty light recoil springs (at least in the first half of the movement… full compression on the G20 is fairly stout, though).

[@ncrshane1919]

@@jamesfrankiewicz5768 Yeah, that's where it comes down to the "most" part. I have tried it with Glocks, M&Ps, My SD9VE, as well some Caniks, Springfields, and Rugers. All of those I was able to push out of battery by pushing on the end of the barrel. For most situations the gun you will be against will probably be susceptible to this. Granted I would still put that as a last ditch option, only for use if I'm gonna get shot regardless. It would be a gamble either way. Edit: That DUST dude is a moron and I'm not defending him, just stating that its not the dumbest thing he "teaches". A lot of his techniques wont work in the slightest.

@@athousandlives7231 Exactly. As soon as you whip out a gun-shaped knife, as soon as you use it, you'll be testifying in court NOT for self-defense, but for attempted murder, 1st degree murder, 2nd degree murder, or manslaughter. No one is going to believe you were defending yourself when you escalate something to fighting with a a stupid little knife like that which no one in their right mind concealed carries unironically. Not to mention, not many people realize that certain items, when looked at by a prosecutor, defense attorney, and a jury, will be a major factor that determines who's going to prison and who isn't, you or the attacker. With that being said, 90% of proclaimed 'self-defense' items you can buy online or in stores, are actually completely useless in either effectiveness, legal court cases, or both. No jury, attorney, or prosecutor will look at a fucking kubotan and go 'oh yeah I can totally see why you'd use that.' NO, kubotans, to them, don't look like anything practical for daily use that you'd understandably use for self-defense, they look like weapons meant for harming or maiming. Self-defense only applies when you do everything in your power to deter an attacker without the intent to kill or harm, but would only kill if absolutely necessary. Trying to play hero, and intentionally fighting the attacker and trying to hurt them isn't self-defense, that's called vigilantism, which is illegal when you consider battery, assault, homicide, attempted murder, manslaughter, etc.

This is how he is just straight up calm, imagine someone like that on adrenaline. Also, some men take a kick to the groin as a challenge, my father tried that when he was young against a bully.

Hi Seth. I have an idea for a video. Can you make a video where you react to move lists from Karate characters in the game Tekken 7 like Jin, Lidia and Bryan? Do move lists, not combos. Because combos in fighting games tend to look a bit ridiculous and over the top.

[@bacul165]

I'm training karate since 15 years and the most important lesson in self defence i've ever had was when one of my trainers saw me (then 25 yo woman) by chance on a fair ground. He grabbed me from behind and i did... Nothing. Nothing at all. My brain didn't even register his grab as threatening. I got quite a lecture on situational awareness then & there, and i like to think that i've gotten a bit better by now.

[@cayk481]

i think the technique at 9:51 can work if it's done quickly enough. the guy was doing it in small motion to break down all the steps

[@jamesfrankiewicz5768]

I'm wondering if the original video had some voiceover that mention pressure points or pain compliance that Seth didn't play back for us. The entanglement in that technique works, and so does the takedown where you lift under the chin and throw to the opponent's rear. Any pain (like the pressure points under the jawline) are just added bonuses and not anything fundamental to the technique.

[@OptimusSledge]

I'm absolutely not any kind of fighting expert, but I can't imagine anyone who's let someone get close enough to press a gun against their chest has the speed or fine motor control to grab the gun's slide and move it out of battery before getting a hole blown through them. Is that tip supposed to make idiots feel slightly better about themselves in the moments before dying?

It's also dependent on the pistol having a light spring, which isn't always the case, especially for larger calibers or magnum cartridges.

I trained gun defenses and disarms like if a gun was to your chest like in that one DUST video. One of the biggest things I remember is to give them what they want. It’s not worth risking your life for your wallet or your car keys. The only time you start fighting against a gun is if they’re trying to kidnap you. Never go to a secondary location and all that jazz. They explained that there are just too many variables, too many things can go wrong, that they’ll train you the best they can with the techniques that the organization found to be most effective, but there’s never any guarantee that you’ll make it out alive when your opponent has a gun or a knife even.

I've done plenty of what I'd call "mannequin training" in BJJ. Especially when learning a new technique. Your partner HELPS you get the technique down, even if they have to move a bit to help you get it right. The key is this is just the first step. After you've got the move down initially, your partner should provide more and more resistance (not fully resisting during drills, just little things to test your grips and control) to help cement the move and the little details that come up with resisting opponents. But I also practiced Aikido for about a year and that is 100% full time mannequin training.

The most useful advice anyone could ever offer to someone who doesn't or can't preform super sick martial arts moves is to remember that there are no rules, other than survive.

[@Riot076]

Actually in a scenario when you're being attacked with a knife,with literally no route of escape (or the one where you have to stand in defense of someone else,who you know isn't capable of keeping up with you during said escape),I think using your clothing is probably the most viable method of trying to deal with the danger if you do it correctly. If you take whatever outer garment you wear on your upper body off (the thicker the better ofc) and wrap it around your hand you can kinda use it to deflect and redirect the knife attack. Yeah,you still risk a thrust to the hand if you misjudge your parry,but it's still much safer to do it this way than with your bare hand (keep in mind that once wrapped around your hand,that piece of clothing will get a couple of layers thicker as opposed to it being just one layer spread across your entire body). You also get more space to work with when it comes to deflecting the blade. And if you manage to entangle the blade or the opponents arm into it,you'll quite likely either disarm him or even take the blade for yourself. Of course for being able to pull it off,you've got to have good reactions and proper knowledge of distancing so in short at least SOME experience with striking based martial arts (or a shitton of luck,but I wouldn't count on that) Of course all off that doesn't work with surprise attacks,in case of which you're fucked anyway,no matter what you do,but if a situation escalates gradually (but you're cornered,so to get away you'd have to get past the agressor anyway) so you have at least a brief moment to set yourself up,I can see it as a viable option

[@strannielson5342]

8:56 gun nerd gonna say it for seth in case he doesn't. He grabbed the slide while it was recoiling backwards. He didn't make it recoil backwards. What would make a slide recoil backbwards is a bullet being fired. So he essentially taught you how to keep the gun from firing a second time after you are shot in the chest. . . Assuming your not already dead. However lets assume he's insinuating that he forced the slide back before the trigger was pulled. Firstly this would only theoretically work for semi-auto handguns as they are designed to only fire with the slide forward to essentially keep the gun from exploding as the slide being back means the round isn't secured inside the barrel were the pressures of a bullet are contained. This wouldn't work for any sort of revolver, long gun, or firearm without a slide(altho those are rare). In fact, this wouldn't even work for all semi auto handguns as some of them would simply explode, killing you and disfiguring your attacker. Of course whether or not it would work in theory doesn't matter because if you have no firearm experience, it takes roughly 10-12 lbs of force to rack that slide on a real gun, and you gotta get your hands to it without the opponent so much as moving a finger. If you don't know how guns work people make it look gentle, so you probably aren't going to apply enough force to push the slide back in the first place. Also assuming you somehow manage to move faster than they can lift a finger, your still fighting an armed assailant.

Love the videos keep it up bro

It's so cool seeing Sensei Seth talking about 6:06 back then , saying it wouldn't be practical in self defense. When jusy a little while ago he tried stunt kicking and learned this exact kick was able to see it had practical use.

That lipstick taser. Made me giggle over the idea of females using it and saying " LIPPPPPPP STICKKKK TASEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR " I know I would :P

[@ht8138]

Stun guns are also very ineffective against a determined attacker because it is pain based and has no real stopping power. Especially a lot of the cheap ones. A taser is what's issues to police and is effective because it caused muscles to size up for a few seconds as well as it has range and some even have two shots. However it's also not super reliable in certain situations.

My favorite is the one with the guy somehow stopping the knife with the jacket - very classy! Hashtag should've been #karvemahgut instead of #kravmaga though :D

[@clickityclack7217]

Glad ur feeling better

No other fight in the world is brave enough to fight a full and weight Muay Thai fight because you already know that your blood will become the purification of a Thai boxer's feet.

The girl's wrist release can actually be found in Sepai Bunkai for those of us who practice Karate. I loved to see it here!!

[@johannesstephanusroos4969]

Huge props for recommending the 'loose' fist, Seth

[@sonyaartman9697]

Fantastic video! 100% agree.

[@Spiceistaround]

Sensei Seth you always make great videos and I was wondering if you had any tips/advice for me as an aspiring UFC fighter.

[@nijimbagao7090]

If a cloth jacket can stop a knife I would buy it and I even buy a matching cap with it 🤣.

[@CrokyBoiEditz]

Be honest, who else imagined the Roblox oof sound or the Minecraft damage sound at 0:07

[@joaovictormartinslima6755]

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[@JohnDoe-sr1dd]

Cloth will not stop pointy things from hurting your tum tum. Comedy gold.

[@martialartisticguy648]

It'd be a weird day to meet a really mean guy who says "tickled my angry bone" lol this is awesome.

[@diogenes42069]

You should watch the dude who had the gun to his chest how to deal with groups of attackers he basically shuffles in a circle it's hilarious

[@Dan_Hill43]

At 1:20 was that a bby crying in the background 😂

[@TheToneBender]

The last page did have a *few* good things in it. Flashlight, taser, pepperspray and alarm.
