For the purposes of reality training (outside a training center, no rules, no refs, and points are irrelevant) Blauer's "understandable to all" approach has immediate value for any citizen or professional. He is very relevant if anyone is looking for more than a false sense of preparedness.

[@Shiresgammai]

Thanks for featuring Tony! Love this lecture!

[@MatthiasBehrends]

Coach Blauer is doing everyone a great service with his approach. "It is not what we believe that works. It is what we see that works."

[@Eric3Frog]

I remember meeting Tony at the Karate College. He got me out of the TMA rut. Thanks Tony!!!

[@apablo09]

Well, that's survival in a nutshell. Rank and years of experience does not replace mindset and intent. Great explanation.

[@teanistillmon3341]

Know the feeling. Know Tony four years. His thinking was helped me launch my way of thinking.

[@brianstramel9499]

The "first aid for self-defense" comment is spot on. Outstanding analogy!

[@paidapps733]

6:03 on is probably his greatest contribution. "You can learn to defend yourself in a day" Tony Blauer

[@rajasusi]

Tony Blauer is a smart man.

[@phoenixmarizzle5059]

This sounds awesome. And every martial artist of whatever discipline should learn this......

[@parker7785]

amazing... all the slow motion "fight" moves/movement in the video appeared very smooth and professional and will obviously totally work in real life in a street fight against people with boxing/competitive MMA experience!!!! Another great salesman

[@0713mas]

true!!! and perfectly explained

[@HollisZheng]

Appreciate this, very honest approach.

[@observantone1783]

great video thanks

[@eclipsewrecker]

I wish we worked on keeping range, keeping posture, and defenses against setups/entrances of moves in wrestling, bjj, sambo, boxing, and Muay Thai. He’s really on to something.

[@Eric3Frog]

Best defense is a good offense. Doesn't work legally, but excellent practically. Awareness and avoidance are key. If those fail, attack first. Defending always leaves you, at least, one move behind.

[@kingslavd661]

nicely explained.

[@impulsepdr2175]

Very excited for this new production! I mean...vhs is cool and all but...Haha

[@ara13blackwater55]

🙏

[@mlnyonasi]

"...the first aid for self-defense," haha, I like that

[@rikiwiki]

Go to a Valente Brothers school, you would be amazed with the system, the philosophy, efficiency and the effectiveness.

[@shitmemedankpost5926]

The Martial arts have become religions, making people convert to form instead of realizing the true brutality of fighting. There are examples in history of seasoned fencers getting stabbed by novices because they had been preparing for dueling. You don't need a thousand kicks, when you can land one kick a thousand times. You need to give each technique a job so that your art can become a system.

[@Blueballon]

How can i train this here in northen sweden?

[@cycm60a1]

[@cycm60a1]

thanks very much

[@Seanx-ps1cx]

Training from the negative has its place, but it is overused. Best way to get out of a headlock is to not get put in a headlock.

[@snakeace0]

That would imply that you would never get in a headlock , which when it happens puts you at a disadvantage, because you are not conditioned to that scenario. Most wannabe tough guys crumble under a real threat scenario and are as clueless as a novice, the crucial aspect of winning a fight ( when you cant avoid it) lies in the first few seconds of REAL combat.

[@victorandresroaalvarado8553]

I read your book to knife fights is fucking awesome

[@AlphaDad]

lots of good ideas, still needs refinement. Many examples of wasted motion and improper tool /target decisions exemplified here

[@xxdummyfreshful]

AgentX Refinment , who are you , the man has been developing his system for over 40 years.

[@xxdummyfreshful]

AgentX Really I was going to say the same thing, who are you, Tony has busted his but for over thirty years, and you say it needs refinement!

[@johnnyjavelin5408]

He looks good for his upper 50s , fighting skills are alright but those Knife fighting sceans are misleading . Doesn't happen that way ! Don't be fooled

[@grassshadow1]

Isn’t he the founder of Festivus?

[@Eric3Frog]

I'd love to see him participate in "the airing of grievances".

[@mgway4661]

Meh
