I would be happier if this was a 30 minute video instead of a 5 minutes video. Can't win them all, though.

[@FunkerTactical]

Hey if everyone were like you, all our videos would be 30minutes long :) Thank you for watching!

[@TrinityHealth215]

mridley64 Its like being teased by a woman.

[@airsoftmarkos]

Good stuff! The duck-under and arm-drag are classic wrestling moves, it's cool to see them adapted to this type of scenario. I'd be very interested in more clinch and ground fighting techniques involving guns and knives. Keep it up!

[@truebornsonofliberty554]

Officer Jared. Once upon a time a semi regular on Nutn Fancy

[@uomosenzanomo6465]

"Snake, try to remember the basics of CQC"

[@forte718]

so much win here big boss and boss

[@bboystance514]

Hey it's Officer Jared! I first saw him on Nutnfancy channel years ago

[@laskey84]

Same here and been fallowing him ever since. Him and Doug Marcaida are working on a FMA series coming out soon. I am very exited, now if only they all could hook up with Tim Waid PTK as well

[@Tyler_Lalonde-]

hell yeah i would prefer Tim way more then Doug. doug never shows anything helpful.

[@laskey84]

I agree with you. Doug is a martial artist, Tim is a warrior. Doug has great skill and theory but Tim has killed men. Years ago i found some sparing videos of Doug and it was not very good, but Tim's sparring is on muthufucken point! that being said I respect both men very much, but I fear Tim. If you never have watched Tims PTK training videos, then I higlyh recommend them, especial "advance foot work and lots secrets of FMA", and hi "CQC video" , well worth the money.

[@Tyler_Lalonde-]

robert paulson i have them and its the best I've seen. I disagree with doing the technical sparing. I would much prefer putting on gear and sparring

[@zhyarnkatie]

Doug is sas,

[@1221vito]

I too first saw Jared on TNP.. Cool to see him here too. He's always a professional. Thanks for the vid!

[@MAYH3M0NE]

Legit. I love it when wrestling is implemented in the Funker Tac vids.

[@ShidenByakko]

Woohoo great to see Officer Jared again, always a vid to watch when he's in it, all the way from when he was featured w/ Nutnfancy. Keep up the fantastic work, I'll be sure to catch your vids!

[@tripplewhipper]

I think he is taking a good approach, I'm personally a fan of the redirection of the attacker's force and positioning, I've found it to work well in sparring. Well made video overall with some good insight, obviously there's more than one way to go about it especially given the unpredictable nature of a real life altercation but all in all, good thought process behind it all

[@dragonfirefunctionalfitnes7925]

Genius! Awesome concept for applying Kali to gun vs knife situations.

[@carlitoso3]

Thank you great information please keep bringing more super value thank you for taking the time

[@chrissalazar678]

Great video as always.

[@saybo88]

Great Instructional vids as always Tuhon Jared!!!

[@Mt8871]

Can't wait for the rest of the series

[@rtc1964rc]

great vid, thanks!!

[@billbill6094]

Subscribed to other channel. First subscriber!

[@cb1982]

Great to see Officer Jared on your channel. Very informative. I hope to see more of him in the future.

[@FunkerTactical]

More videos of Jared will be debuting here: facebook.com/FunkerMartialArts/

[@tylerreis7627]

Jared! Glad he's getting into other channels, love him on tnp

[@DrTech-pw2cu]

Good concepts, thank you.

[@yamimbe]

Awesome!

[@ADHD_Samurai]

Fantastic video. Looking forward to the collaboration with Doug.

[@DarthTwilight]

I've seen quite a few well-rounded people pull off what you execute with seemingly-effortless efficiency. I know there's more than one way to skin a cat, but, your application is superb.

[@jaimcgee4566]

This is awesome , same principles of sword techniques!!!

[@hossv1147]

Wow. Thank you indeed.

[@djarnoldo516]

Great technique. As a gunfighter/Arnis guy, though, this fight starts WAY too close for me. A skilled knife fighter can cut your head off from two arm lengths away from concealment, which is the way most knife fights start.

[@djarnoldo516]

***** Thanks for responding, Guro, absolutely right. Unfortunately the first thing a threat will do is try to close the distance so he can attack you. That makes it imperative to be able to deflect, distract, dominate, disarm, and disable a threat from close distance. Gunfighters should never expect to be able to draw their gun and control the situation right out of the holster; that is a privilege you have to FIGHT your way to.

[@enriqueperez693]

Interesting I most definitely like that skill set

[@ZZZ7773]

Love your knife, I want two more !!!

[@laskey84]

Yes, finally. Thank you all

[@eddymia139]

More content of this , I love it 😝

[@FunkerTactical]

coming right up!

[@Dreccomel193]

Cool video, thank you...

[@FunkerTactical]

You're welcome! More to come.

[@ArneAsada69]

"That's not a knife." in my shitty fake Australian accent

[@chrisjbrunson]

He actually grew up in new Zealand but good guess for a troll.

[@kohl1724]

He was making a reference to the movie Crocodile Dundee.

[@danenakamuraable]

@nutnfancy #nutnfancy. it's great to see you being a bad ass on funker officer jared!

[@edgajam]

I'd prefer to see this if the guy with the knife would actually show some resistance.

[@FunkerTactical]

These concepts have been pressure tested hundreds of times---to show a pressure test minus an explanation might be visually pleasing, but this video gives you much more. We'll add some excitement in upcoming videos.

[@edgajam]

Funker Tactical - Combat Training Videos It's not so much for the excitement, as it is for my doubts, since I can see a pretty bad opening at 2:12

[@9cloud4]

Sir Jared, awesome movements but wanted understand about the second movement were you took his arm with your right hand to pass on but in such situation were you have only split second do any movement keeping inline of thought that never underestimate your opponent as you kept your firearm on the same right side and any fighters or bully become survivor by trying some tricks what would happen if the knife fighter grabbed your gun and left you without weapon and in combat fight it's always been upper hand for someone who have weapons. so do we need to keep up with quickness of this movement or do we have any other ultimate option for this. I've have been active subscriber of Funker Tactical for many years, Being Martial artist, street Survivor and combat practitioner over 10yrs I like to say that content shown in this channel opened my thoughts and approach towards situations and even more effective when added mine individually in it. really happy and proud to see such peoples skills,talents,experiences shared through this channel as a knowledge and we people able to get benefit through this. Thank you so GN for being awesome camera person, love the way you probe the questions behalf of us. Thank you people, keep doing it.

[@speciallyclean9625]

Nice clip, tactics that look like they will actually work and are not from a trailer of the latest Hollywood blockbuster, will try work these moves, thanks.

[@FunkerTactical]

Good luck. Train with progressive resistance. Start slow...very slow.

[@mwilliams6594]

Kia Ora Jared, any chance of starting a training school in NZ? Love your arts funker tactical!!!

[@franciscodelgado303]

Excelente ! puro Kali

[@MikeBrownOhio]

I have to use a cane to walk and I have leg and back problems...How could I use this to work for me???

[@261Pro]

more please 😆

[@xmarksthespot4617]

Everything is a million times easier when it's not an actual real-time threat.

[@FunkerTactical]

correct.

[@DelaV3]

Nobody is pushing, nobody is sweating, nobody is headbutting, nobody is biting...if you get in a fight with a knife you are getting cut. You can still win but all this ninja shit is going out the door when it really happens.

[@SigShooter9mm]

I'm like a leaf on the wind :P

[@lazycouch1]

You're telling me that a person that trains for years with real life scenarios has 'no viability' once they start "pushing, sweating, headbutting and biting"? I know there is millions of people that think they are king shit of fighting but the point of this video isn't that if you practice this one singular technique you'll win every knife fight flawlessly for the rest of time. I suppose fighting martial arts are all just 'ninja shit' as if you even know what you're talking about. Why don't you let me try some 'bullshit ninja stuff' on you and let's see how it works. Some people actually practice real techniques that are useful and work. Not all martial arts or techniques are like guns where one pull of the trigger kills all. Please think before you speak because some people that know 'ninja shit' are less patient then others.

[@xmarksthespot4617]

lazycouch1​ someone speaks real tough behind a pseudo account.......talking about "let me try some bullshit ninja stuff"....... you are what they call a "keyboard warrior"

[@lerch400block]

holy shit, it's Officer Jarred.

[@stevenledwith]

I've been teaching the exact same things for years.

[@mrm9858]

Good luck with the second technique.

[@helllokitty138]

was this filmed in richmond hill?

[@ShadowMosses]

Do you have classes for this

[@sicksagee]

I see some wrestling in there

[@richardn7874]

Can you do a video where the attacker is flailing and slashing? Not many try to stab the stomach, they slash up high.

[@InqWiper]

Kick to the knee, move back, put one bullet in each eye, easy.

[@MAlford65]

Continue creating distance and engage. If they're moving forward with momentum, move aside so they have to change direct. Doing that while drawing can give you enough time to react. Like he said, this only scratches the surface.

[@randomazn420]

hes like the Jason Falla of edged weapons

[@Aikibiker1]

This stuff looks familiar somehow. Is Jared an instructor under Craig Douglas?

[@Tyler_Lalonde-]

jared is cool i like his style. just ptk-smf its about bringing it into modern day combat.

[@mcreaction7133]

Correct footwork is very important

[@FunkerTactical]

absolutely.

[@armenvladimirovich877]

this has been a decent video I'm always on the fence with some of funkers cqc videos this is one of a few I was not on the fence about .

[@IlPadre4103]

it would be really nice if you kept the camera on the instructors hands because no one ever disarmed an attack with his lips

[@FunkerTactical]

It's also quite hard to learn while from just watching and commenting on videos. Get up and train.

[@IlPadre4103]

I spend 4-5 hrs at the gym a week working on hand, gun, knife, and stick defense. I like to watch USEFUL videos to think aboult other peoples techniques so I can talk with my instructors about what our system teaches. But thanks for the passive agressive response. Sorry it took me a year to respond... i haven't had time to watch your videos... been at the Gym.

[@j2os43f5h]

Why down votes?

[@FunkerTactical]

Because Internet.

[@josephbriggs9790]

Where does he train?

[@josephbriggs9790]

Are you doing any sessions in Florida?

[@xxFairestxx]

works great when he freezes after his attack.

[@seansimmons73]

nice moves but the way he fully extends his arm with the gun gangster style is dangerous . It would be better to pull the gun in close to the body to keep it from being grabbed

[@glennwih]

Never bring a knife to a gun fight. Also, if you get into a knife fight, you will get cut. Expect it and keep your distance until you can draw and fire and fire and fire until the bad guy is not breathing.

[@glennwih]

You need to research knife attacks, pistol shootings and rifle shootings by the FBI. Knives are the least effective. Pistols are 2nd most effective then rifles/shotguns kill the most. If you are walking down an alley at 2am that is just stupid. Daytime knife attacks rarely happen. Usually, it is someone you know in your own home. Look it up.

[@mridley64]

I don't think the "you will get cut" mentality is healthy. If you expect to get cut, then you're just making a self-fulfilling prophecy. Just my $.02

[@glennwih]

You are blind to common sense. Good luck.

[@glennwih]

[@randomazn420]

is Jared a Aussie or New Zealander?

[@thepiccards2105]

So basically folkstyle wrestling...

[@jamesc2545]

Arm drag and arm duck... teach my freshman wrestlers this :-)

[@Tyler_Lalonde-]

not to sure how i feel about those vids on fb. bad attacks already starting.

[@teamspeakisbetterthandiscord]

I think these are good techniques, but I'm left handed... I carry my gun on the left side

[@jahtehiko2866]

Tena koe e te tuakana the man bro too much cuzzie

[@imrimurphy7399]

when are you going to show knife tactics against firearms

[@imrimurphy7399]

Right

[@kamagoong]

+Sig Shooter Never go full Rickon. 😂

[@SigShooter9mm]

[@FORTUNENGLORY]

[@SigShooter9mm]

FORTUNENGLORY Don't forget the limpy wrist movements. :P

[@vincent_fericelli]

Krav-Maga adresses knife attacks whether you're armed or not for a long time. A lot of problems where solved along the way. Blocking a real knife attack with an open hand like at 3:20 is not really good idea for instance ...

[@itsmeseventy7480]

2 years late but it's a deflection...

[@DarthDefiler]

Is that a birthmark? Or did he kill someone in jail?

[@kamagoong]

Oh, yeah. Gun Fu.

[@danarief]

How is he going to cock the gun, with 1 hand tangled to the assailant.

[@Echo1AbleProject]

Weapon is carried at condition 1. Ready to fire when drawn from holster

[@InqWiper]

IKR, and how is he going to cock the gun before he puts in the bullets?

[@Echo1AbleProject]

The gun is already cocked with a bullet chambered. You just pull it out and shoot (responsibly).

[@danarief]

Thank you for the kind info sir, have a great day.

[@danarief]

Thank you Officer Jared, great stuff you shared there. Where I'm from its advised not to have chambered round while carrying. Have a great day Sir!

[@stoo84]

Id love to see a video where the techniques are used in a real situation; rather than in an instructive manner. I've never seen a completely controlled fight in the real world, no matter how good the tactics are. Certainly not suggesting he doesn't know his stuff, merely that having someone pose for an example, isn't the same as having someone actually trying to stab/kill you.

[@sgtmajorburtontruxel1497]

Exactly a knife attack is furious and frantic! I'm not certain of a "stalemate" in a real life situation 1% this may happen. I agree he is highly trained and I'm not bashing him, appreciate the concept.

[@itsmeseventy7480]

Well it's a demonstration so we have to see clearly what to do. IRL the concepts will be there but it may not look neat like a demonstration

[@gggroup7705]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@gacalu7150]

maybe to an unskilled person... but try to do this to a professional... ? his forearms, wrists, ribs, would be prime cuts already...

[@Tyler_Lalonde-]

i just hope you guys try hard to show realistic attacks and correct applications of techniques. no patty cake hubud like most do. i want to see intent and counter offence. if so you guys will be a better channel for it.

[@oliver6able]

Expectation Vs Reality, This Shit Don't Work!

[@jakehawthorn7920]

Nope, especially not the special forces unit that he trained to use these techniques.

[@MAlford65]

13 years in SWAT but I'm sure your internet research is superior.

[@oliver6able]

No my 6 years of martial arts and black belt teach me reality vs expectation

[@MAlford65]

Jody Short What martial arts do you have training in? Do they apply the use of firearms into tactical and realistic scenarios? How does your training supersede his 13 years of dedicated training and *instructing* the use of firearms in those scenarios, and do you have references like Commanders in the military attributing their confidence in their units to your level of expertise and ability to train them. Which Special Forces commander has quoted you and is their unit better than Airborne?

[@oliver6able]

I hear what your saying, I'm not discrediting him or his training. And no I'm am not a special forces solider or have a military background. But I am also not a social media warrior. I have a black belt in mixed martial arts, I have focuses on Krav Maga, edge weapons, handgun combatives, empty hand skills. I also am a realist and understand that under stress, fine motor skill become gross motor skills and deadly force encounters never, NEVER go as planned training goes. In a deadly force encounter when a knife is involved you will get cut! Distance is your friend in this situation not hand to hand combative skills. Keep your distance at all possibility and shoot the perp trying to cut you. This training he's offers is good, but unrealistic for what will really happen in a "knife attack" deadly force encounter. That is reality.

[@donben7622]

If you have a gun, USE it for first! Why hazard your life, tó disarm the knife attacker, with gun in your hand! 🤤🤭🤣?!

[@FunkerTactical]

Context matters. Your philosophy is not only dangerous, it proposes a massive leap in the force continuum that will land you in jail.

[@donben5353]

@@FunkerTactical More rather in jail before as death!

[@itsmeseventy7480]

There's some cases when one gets snd continue to fight.

[@THCBLADEWORKS]

1:35 he is going to shoot his own hand if any rounds pass through the target

[@Wavemaninawe]

Jared Wihongi Could another solution be to angle the trajectory more down through the pelvis, also reducing the risk of strays? Good demo, either way. 👍🏾
