Krav Maga 6 Punch Defense

In this episode of the show we will be demonstrating and walking through Krav Maga's various techniques for defenses against punching.

[@natnoonoo9290]

I've been doing Krav Maga here in Australia for the past 6 weeks and I love the self Defense Techniques as they are quick but effective .😊 👍🏼

Much appreciated Chuck and the rest of yall started training Krav Maga a few years ago after a short stint in Muayi Tai due to school relocation and was doing fairly well on route to make jump to MMA but got incarated and lost funds for membership.These videos along with other disciplines on other sites are a major help to prevent slacking until able to get funds for membership again.MUCH ❤️ GOD BLESS YOU AND Y'ALL AND HAVE GREAT DAY'S. 📱🥋👍🤔🥊🏋️

[@Dragonflyjones67]

Bursting technique is very effective. From empty hand to weapons, it will work no matter what.

[@honestlee9921]

I like the way you hold yourself in the comments , and even admit this type of training may or may not be the best against a trained individual. I feel this type of training is still very useful and can definitely help you in a self defense situation Especially when it comes to weapon attacks. When it comes to the argument of mma vs Krav etc, I feel it's just that there's no real shortcut. If they have trained many years in mma, he's going to be a difficult opponent for anyone

[@quietflameproductions5740]

honest lee Well stated, and thanks for the praise. I agree that a lot of martial Techniques are the way they are because they are made for defense against untrained people. (Going along with the logic that most well trained people aren’t the ones who don’t get into street fights- if you get into a fight with a very well trained fighter regardless of what system he comes from, you are in for a bad day. Period. Conversely, if you put in the time, and you are the one who is very well trained (regardless of the system) you can expect to have a reasonable shot at getting through it well)

[@alex3475]

No method is 100% perfect hence avoidance and verbal judo is the first method, running away is another and fighting should be the last and be done only if necessary. Once the attacker has been neutralized it is advisable to escape if you can.

[@DF-rc5uc]

My only problem with this is that in a real fight situation it is completely unpredicatble, this seems great in a pre determined situation but in reality for Krav maga to work u have to have excellent coordination and reflexes or its pointless.

[@TheOfficialJingo]

To be able to fight well, regardless of style, you need to have excellent coordination and reflexes. If you don't have those, you'll easily get your ass kicked. Krav Maga is made exactly for unpredictable situations. Nothing is easy.

[@mrharris7175]

Thanks Harris. Glad you enjoy them!

[@anngreen2165]

I like watching this in days free from trainings ;)

[@johnnymathew3422]

Inside defence technique is kind of risky when it comes down to a knife fight. Fighting unarmed is always risky anyways. But, the assailant who knows how to use a knife wouldn't just stretch out to stab, he would go for quick and short distance stabs and try to recoil the knife back to base position, close to body, where it'll be difficult for the person to be disarmed.

[@WHITELIONNYC]

Prison shanking style - like 10 pokes to the gut in 2 seconds - and don't even see it coming.

[@stevenholmes9641]

Exactly...these dicks give false confidence to those who practice this. There's only one winner in a knife fight and defending it ends badly.....best method if someone pulls a knife is to run.

[@assassinmanx6128]

I say train using random objects to defend against a knife, if you see it. But 9 x out of 10 you won't. Running is first, but only issue is if the person has good cardio and train with knives like a fencer. If you run into someone with good foot work and armed with a knife? Yea that is what you should train the motor skills to react to. It's one of those things of just always keep something with you. Anything helps. But nothing beats element of suprise which makes a knife deadly. But depends on the knife and your clothing as well. Cheap folding knive break easy or retract and cut the persons own finger. Fixed blades are death sentences.

[@shanepankhurst9958]

I thought the first one was aimed at the pressure point under the bicep. He'd lose use of the arm. Which conveniently is he strong arm

[@Bo.un_ez]

In the boxing gym in trained in the mma fighters were always asking the boxing coaches for advice on throwing a punch

[@nathansilver9190]

Great video Chuck, would you mind asking next time about the vertical punch, which knuckles are you striking with? Thanks, love your channel

[@nathansilver9190]

andjupa307 Thanks, that's what I thought. ...however, that means (at least for me) that one would have to contort the wrist to make proper contact. What are your thoughts on that? Thanks again

[@ChuckJohnson]

Hey man. Yeah, I am assuming the strikes are all done with the top two Knuckles for the aforementioned reason. The advantage of the vertical Fist is that it is more stable than a horizontal one; is it at the expense of torque however. Really all techniques are that way tho; pluses and minuses. An advantage in one regard generally means a loss in another. 💡

[@jesselee6687]

Very nice

[@fitzarthur3977]

Who else here is learning this fighting style?? Well I am

[@ChuckJohnson]

Good on ya bro!

[@grantstowell197]

thku for sharing your technics... ive taken years of krav so I ask this bc I've always been instructed to yes move into your opponent typically at a 45 but where I was taught differently was to move toward the outside of my opponent... meaning right hand strike most times i would step to my left and take his right hand across his body thereby positioning him where his left arm is out of a possible striking position... what you're showing is taking the right arm and going inside your opponents body which allows him the ability to strike with his left.. I understand Krav teaches different tactics to cover many different attacks but can we agree that when possible bringing the opponents right across his body and you moving to his right side limits his ability to attack and gives you more types of attacks? again not trying to find fault with what you've shown however id like your response of why you chose what you did.. the forward momentum with a grab, and at the same time a face assault to stun or get the opponent to withdraw or take a bad stance so we can carry on with a hold, throw or submission lock etc is what I've been trained over and over to go for...

[@1969jmac]

Chuck I have been around KZbin checking out different KravMaga sites and from what I've seen It is very similar in some aspect to the WW2 combatives. I've trained a bit in combatives and like that system very much, so it would seem logical to me to check further into Krav if it is so similar. I like the idea in combatives of developing and using gross motor skills and of not having to rely on fine tuned skills and precise angles and extraordinary balance and timing etc. what is your take on KravMagas attitude toward gross motor skills over fine skills and also the one big difference i keep noticing is Krav's attention to blocking where in combatives they don't particularly teach blocking and teach more of a preemptive attack than one in which you would have to rely heavily on blocking. Id be interested to hear your take on the idea of blocking as in Krav vs the idea of not blocking as in combatives.

[@johnpogany2444]

When l trained in Krav you block and attack at the same time no delay in between like karate

Thank you bro! Glad you thought so!

[@EragonAnimator]

The 360 defence looks like Karate's jodan age uke, shuto uke and gedan bara depending on the angle. The inside defence looks like soto uke. Interesting, soto uke in Japanese was originally called uchi uke which means inside defence.

[@ChuckJohnson]

Yeah, one of the most interesting things about martial arts is that the human body only has so many ways to move, so you end up seeinsg convergent evolution of techniques across a lot of different systems. (Kind of like how a lot of species of animals all evolved eyes independently becuase eyes are just really useful to have).

[@mauricewhatintheworldwasth9367]

I've seen dozens of street fights but I've never seen anyone throw a punch like that!

[@vegitosupersaiyanblue2793]

thanks I learned blocks but what's the punches and kicks

[@ChuckJohnson]

Hey man. The punches and kicks are fairly straight forward. Have you had a chance to check out the other vids in the series?

[@garagegorilla5x5]

Doesnt a squared stance give you less stability from a shove or what I call a counter force?

[@jaredbicker3931]

Being squared up allows for close reach off the immediate counter attack. Being off balanced by an opposing force is limited due to the fact that you keep attacking your target until you are able to disengage or have to transfer to a different type of attack, Such as a take down or control posture. The attacker is unable to mount a counter defense because they are constantly being pummeled by your strikes thus being squared up has little chance of being countered.

[@garagegorilla5x5]

@@jaredbicker3931 I hear you

[@johnpogany2444]

You can use palm strikes too if you like your knuckles

[@quietflameproductions5740]

Yeah, palm strikes are good for exactly that reason👍🏾 If you haven built up your knuckles for bare-knuckle striking you can break them; especially if you hit the other guy in hard places like the forehead or if you hit wrong and hit with the lesser knuckles.

[@dogguyful]

Regardless I will go back to other in 3- 5 years...

[@kimchijuanito1631]

Hey chuck, do you have a video on how to defend against kicking and capoeira, and if you don’t can you write back to me? Thanks if you do!

[@ChuckJohnson]

It’s Not KimchiJuanito Hey bro, actually, I’m afraid I don’t. 😔 Might be an interesting topic to cover tho!

[@reallycooluleh]

In krav we block kickslike muay thai - with a check... Capoeira looks nice, but if you charged them with knees - that should be suffice

[@WHITELIONNYC]

That's very simple if you understand range and striking effectiveness. All the kick heavy styles like Taekwondo are good from a distance so that's why you get inside ASAP. Styles like this Krav Maga, Kung Fu can easily neutralize and disable the kicking based styles assuming both fighters are fairly equal in skill and natural/physical abilities.

I know this was meant to be a more 'smart ass' comment more than anything but if you seriously are looking for validation of the techniques then you really only have to look to the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) as this is the primary art taught to their entire military. Just saying it may look silly and ineffective but it is extremely effective in application.

[@ChuckJohnson]

Yeah, it's a pretty interesting combat system. And I would say, in it's purest form, efficient and effective.

[@marksn4020]

The inside defense he is referring to at around 10.50 is actually an outside defence. Also you should never be standing square. When you apply the defence (what you call inside defence and punch) you should be slipping to the right or left whilst blocking and then striking the opponent. Check any other video on Krav Maga on KZbin

[@WHITELIONNYC]

I agree. I couldn't understand their stance throughout this tutorial. I like that the video shows untrained people that there are techniques that can be learned without having to learn and memorize short and long forms, but if I had kids I definitely wouldn't send them to this particular school.

[@marioduva1411]

This Kevin maga will get you hurt in a real fight

[@theastromux2463]

what da hell is kevin maga lol

[@davidmoody3810]

its all well and good learning all these techniques but most victims never see the attack coming so have little chance to defend themselves against it. If someone is coming towards you with a knife, the LAST thing you want to do is move towards them, you want to get out of there as quick as possible.....

[@ChuckJohnson]

I actually have to agree with you in that regard. For this video series, I am approaching this as a student, and as such, it wasn't my place to state my opinions based on my previous training. I do however agree that until you are extremely well trained (and even then) engaging someone with a knife close quarters is extremely dangerous. You are much better off keeping as much distance as you can between you and then, and as best you can using objects other than your limbs to extend reach and or keep distance. (Belts, a broom handle, a chair, or anything else you can find, etc).

[@theimmortal4718]

Looks like a great style to use against people who don't have left arms

[@trailokyamukherjee5799]

Lame statement...trust me if that right hand strikes lands on ur chin or on nose you will not be in a position to use any hand...forget about left and right. Think about human brain and it attacks and defends. You will have a broken nose in 15secs n will still wonder what hit me? Try a Krav class n you will understand.

@@theimmortal4718 sure..most of the KM guys are good boxers. Moreover they are breaking the techniques so it looks like the attackers are not using left hands. Even in a violent road attacks will be over within 30-40secs.

[@theimmortal4718]

@@trailokyamukherjee5799 I think it's funny that KM video viewers assume anyone who critiques a KM video has no prior knowledge of the system. Nothing here is new. The US army has been teaching this for 2 decades. It's called Combatives 3 and 4. This instructor isn't even demonstrating proper technique. He's using an underhook at the forearm, which isn't sufficient to control the arm. It's important to use an overhook at the tricep, up high by the shoulder. This is basic grappling. If you've done any boxing, you will realize that counting on a initial knock out punch is foolish. It won't work 99% of the time, and anyone who tells you it will is a snake oil salesman. In full contact sparing, whether in KM or any other system, you will not see this tecnique used. In demonstrations, sure. That's a completely different animal. Like I said, people have 2 arms. The demonstrator is using both of his, yet his partner isn't. This demonstration relies on the opponent not fighting back at all once the instructor lays hands on him.

[@theimmortal4718]

The worst part is that it's correctly demonstrated in the intro the first few seconds in.

[@sabr219]

What is your defense against a boxer's jab. He is not leaving his jab out to be block. Also the boxer is moving around.

[@ChuckJohnson]

I would say the techniques works the same; you just have to move faster to apply it. In general though, jabs, by nature are quick and hard to block. If you train it well, you can slip them or deflect them, but that takes a lot of training to do. Most of these techniques (like a lot of combat or self defense martial arts techniques) aren't made for dealing with well-trained seasoned fighters. Usually, those kinds of people don't get into street fights. Most people that you would have to deal with with aren't professionally well trained.

[@sabr219]

Chuck Johnson Thanks Chuck, but most people who aren't well trained or trained in boxing would start off in a boxing stance. As u know it is bare knuckles novice street fighting, and depending where u live I e. Newark, NJ, philadelphia a lot of people have some boxing skills.

[@ChuckJohnson]

Robert Alexander I think it just comes down to the rules. If they use Boxing rules, I think McGregor's chance of winning is really small. Mayweather isn't the nicest dude on Earth, but he's a super smart fighter, and McGregor will lose half of the tools in his tool box. If however they go with MMA rules, Mayweather will have to knock him out fast or else he will get destroyed. Even if he is the best boxer on earth, I'm going to assume, he doesn't know how to fight from kicking range and has no ground game.

Nice choreography but in real life your opponent is not going to cooperate.

[@ChuckJohnson]

This is always the real test right? Application against a fully resisting opponent.

[@mutwiriabraham9054]

make the punches a little bit normal not that telegraphed

[@ChuckJohnson]

I think in terms of thinking of punching there are based two types: a trained punch and an untrained punch. Trained punches are generally straight and quick. Untrained punches are usually neither. This technique is generally for dealing with the latter. The other technique demonstrated is for the former.

[@zbyszekskibinski]

Useless in real fight scenario, the moment you see the flying punch its usually too late to respond. Better technique could be keeping distance from puncher and low side kick in their knee and then counterattack with punches or get from behind grabbing their head in a lock to choke and take them down

[@andrewreplica]

I really don't believe punches are always that hard to block if trained properly to react. The distance if applied would facilitate with reaction time too. Good points on distance and the side kick strategy. Very jkd like, using the longest weapon to the closest target.

[@reallycooluleh]

You don't think we spar? What a dumbass remark - If someone suddenly attacks you, you should keep distance or choke them from behind?? You have that luxury if you want to start a fight

[@WHITELIONNYC]

If it's too late too respond there is a very high probability the person is untrained in any sort of combat or martial arts. We repeat these techniques thousands of times so that it becomes ingrained into our muscle memory. Once the M-cells in the eye detect movement from the periphery, the body will immediately react without thinking. A trained person, if cannot avoid that punch will at the very least go with it to eliminate or drastically reduce the amount of damage absorbed. I'm not just talking theory, I live in NYC I have had several people over the years that attempted to sucker punch me.

[@xXDDKJefferyXx]

Follow your centerline utilizing low line kicks snapkicks to groining or lead knee......to keep distance however punches are easy to defend against as well using Ls Triangles Squares and Circles......like every tree its only as strong as it roots.....aka foot work and base stance
