MBC Guerrilla Video Volume 1: Concepts

[@MsPatman1979]

Hello Mr. Janich, thank you for breacking your art down this way, feeling like sitting in an University studying Arts…🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@heedmywordsforiamthephoeni205]

Thank you for all of the videos you have made I own the 2 critical skills of damithurt silat 1 and 2. I also own fighting folders and forever armed the improvised weapons system. I like how you scale down things put emphasis on physiological potential and have a solid set of about 5 or 6 concepts that are interchangeable in each of your videos but the videos do not get repetitive or stale because you always add new variations and applications of the concepts as it pertains to the topic covered. I am really a huge fan of your instructional style.

[@VanPrepper]

This is an exceptionally well done video. Thank you for sharing.

[@wehrwolf8006]

Read a article about this in 2009. It's not about a kill shot it's about getting away..and not getting charged by the district attorney. sound tactical theory and stopping power

[@bae313]

to: zwan94, he is performing a comma cut. to: fred5344, janich was a spyderco man before blackhawk

[@blacksilkblacksilk]

Thank you sir! Clear and usefull words for the blade. And there is a chance that you and the assailant make it oput alive. Ethical and legally less difficult. By the way I do not find it complicated at all. It is easy to learn, easy to use, and you can have fun perfecting it for a long time. This kind of training is pure gold - if you are willing to dig ist. Deep respect. silk

[@jinggoyd1967]

@zwan94 Both. A simple slice into jeans might not penetrate into the leg. He is penetrating with a stabbing motion first, then slicing through the muscules.

[@docnightfall]

The techniques are not concerned with what's ethical or legally defensible. Striking to disable biomechanical targets (nerve/tendon/muscle) is simply the quickest and most reliable way to prevent someone from delivering bodily harm to you. Some systems emphasize targeting major blood vesels, but even with a severed major vessel, a human can continue to fight for several seconds. Whereas a biomechanical cut causes immediate disability of the limb served by the injured nerve, tendon or muscle.

Guerrilla Video, great idea. Can't wait to see more!

[@a661992]

Mike makes some great points especially (get off the couch and train). I don’t agree with everything within MBC. But, again.. listen to Mikes points. You can take what he says and blow it off being an armchair quarterback or.. get up and try it. He’s been at this for a long time. Touched hands with a lot of folks over the years..

[@crazilyon]

I really like the fact that you train in Ts and jeans... because I've been attacked twice in my life and neither attacker waited for me to put on fighting pajamas LOL.

[@BareseMaledetto]

stuff looks pretty good, but it still seems to rely more on fine motor skills that have to be conditioned over time. I'm not sure that under the pressure of a determined attack you will be able to resort to them... with that in mind I respect the dude, he obviously knows his stuff

[@fmann7545]

Question on your targeting. Once you block and slash the triceps, you target the leg with the idea of dropping him or rendering the leg useless, and causing a potentially fatal cut to the leg artery. but once you have him blocked and before you move to attack his leg, a clean straight shot to the side of the neck is open or in a reverse grip , a slash along the entire neck . Is there a reason for the preference?

[@austinpunditt2049]

With your arm or hand monitoring his arm, and blocking it from swinging back, it is going to be easier to strike down low for your next shot. Also, the neck shot is more likely to be fatal, and Janich is teaching for self defense. Stop the threat, you don't have to kill, and be aware of the legal ramifications of all your actions.

[@wyldewest278]

@ Brassassmonkey Depends where you live. i highly recommend looking up the laws of your local state. Tennessee youre allowed to carry a four inch blade and lower i believe. Depends on your location as well such as schools, etc. Im sure just looking up online will tell you alot :)

[@danielberry6060]

Hey Michael... When is spyderco going to do another run of your 'Reverse"? Only one I can find is overseas and they want a billion Kroner for it.

[@blacksilkblacksilk]

True. Cut a biomechanical target, and the limb is disabeled. The beauty of the techniques in this video is - as far as I am any judge in these matters - that cutting the arm makes it impossible for the assailant to hold a weapon AND it is legally defensible. And I have seen enough good men go through a great legal ordeal, although they clearly acted in self defens. So if you train you One Reflex Singel Response techniqu it should disable AND be legally defensibel. peace

[@FRUlery]

Still as valid today as it was then

[@sanjuancb]

This was a great video. I particularly like the Christmas tree in the background! :)

[@crowcraves7343]

First off, good video i really like the concept of your style but there are a few things that arent either right or im getting it wrong. If you lean back like that isnt there the posibility that its goin to hit anyway? like if he takes a step forward, next thing, most people i saw with a knife never swung it in that way where you go way to far, they always do many rapid stabs if the first one (most hidden and unexpected) doesnt hit

[@NabilAbdulrashidComedy]

@crazilyon how did it go?

[@ParkourEh]

What if I don't have the luxury of space and I can't evade the initial slash by leaning back? Say I was backed up against a wall or something.

[@rooroo9216]

ParkourEh move forward and block/or move to the side depending on if it's a straight or round attack, and block if you can't move at all (like a bus seat or something) and immediately get out of that position to somewhere more open or try to smother the knifemans weapon.

[@jackwilson6467]

Do something else.

[@fitepitsnbonfires]

I agree it's not very difficult all you have to do is put your knife out there in the general area of his forearm if he runs into the blade he's cut and the fight unless he's drunk out of his mind, the fight is over !

[@tywainwright1]

@brassassmonkey In California the knife blade can't be bigger then your hand (palm)

[@blacksilkblacksilk]

If ... IF there is no other choice - and no choice can I will admit that cover a lot of scenarios, so If by my best nstinctive judgement at that moment there is no other choice to save my liefe, my family`s life or perhabs a strangers life - the I agree, the i would rather take my chances with 12 instead of my guarantee with the 6. However, I want to practice so that I can shift my chances so that it will be less probable that I will have to face 12 or be caried by six. Peace silk

[@filobladework]

Nice Mike, well broken down

[@jesmg]

outstanding!

[@fidelmarcalderon1188]

que bonito saben pelear estos amigos..

[@rbslammed6163]

And his other hand is gonna be doing what, checking his fly?

[@wilsonsolutions8470]

thank you sir

[@ВалерийКлименко-ж1ы]

Idiot !

[@BBoyAlfredo]

holiday time!

[@rbslammed6163]

How to determine if a man has EVER been in a fight in his entire life

[@crazilyon]

@halfhausaman I'm still here LOL (I ran both times.. Kicked the dude in the nuts the first time and ran... I'm a better sprinter than martial artist :) )

[@leroy592]

Janich makes good videos but his techniques are more for the advanced.

[@tactical2bagpipes]

Never seen anyone attack with a knife by slashing and freezing in place. I have scars to prove it. Dance moves don't approach the reality and brutality of an edged weapon assault.

[@austinpunditt2049]

Its a demo, goose. He is teaching and so moves slowly, and so do the attackers. Watch his materials, and he ramps things up in them.

[@josephjrbarber5052]

[@robberyrob]

Fuck that, it's nice and all but this does not compare to the techniques and concepts of Systema, the russian fighting system is more bad ass
