I agree, it's better to go for simpler options when being put in a self defense situation. That way, you will be a lot safer.

[@nathearn]

100%👍

[@codenametynner2388]

Yeah, we love pressure points at my dojo but all my teachers say that in a self defense situation the best thing you can do is to get a very simple but effective technique out, which is oftentimes a good strike to the groin or face.

[@Stardash81]

Not to mention the stress, you could mess up your moove easily in a life or death situation because you are shaking...

[@DUDEBRUHMICE]

It’s also better for people who aren’t good at martial arts, it’s better going for strong but basic punches and kicks to sensitive parts of the body

[@Muffln]

This shows that a lot of the time the first few belts (for self defense at least), and the first self defense you learn in general, is usually going to be some of the best you'll ever learn. It's simple, it's effective, and its success rate is much higher than some of these big, very planned out movements. These big, fancy self defense options usually look good to beginners, because they think, "Complex = Effective", but most of the time, you're gonna want to use the simple, effective, and realistic self defense. EDIT: Of course all of the techniques and self defense you learn is important, but usually, (from my experience), you learn a lot of simple, effective self defense with the first few belt ranks. It is very important to always remember the original self defense that you learn on the first belts for this reason.

[@nathearn]

Definitely, the fundamentals are the most important techniques👍

So Happy to see you make more detailed videos Seeing your Awesome kicks and punches is amazing but getting to know who you are makes me glad

[@KoreanH00N]

This is actually very realistic, not many people are going to have time to use some of these crazy things during a real fight.

[@JoJeromeMP]

Definitely. The crazy stuff is fun and good to learn just to train your body how to move, but in practical terms, you'd be using a fraction of one of those crazy techniques. So, not at all great for KZbin School Of Self Defense. There's just no substitute for LOTS of training to unlearn bad habits and learn better ones. The challenge for any school is how to keep said training fun and engaging so it doesn't feel like you just practiced the same move for an hour. ;-)

[@arny752]

Takeaway from this video: Quick and simple but effective techniques should be used for self defense and don't forget the basics. If you can run, run away and don't look back

[@Nig-jkjkjk]

[@Shaito_]

u dont know how excited i got when i heard Nat say the japanese names for soto uke and mawashi geri ( coming from a karate user )

[@LesterAbastillas]

my first time competing in tkd, i was nervous because i havent got the hang of various spin kicks my opponent (my friend) knew, but in the fight i quickly learnt that simple kicks in tandem with reflex and perfect timing is all you need, doesnt matter if you know 540 tornado kicks, because a perfectly timed roundhouse kick to the head is just as deadly (plus youll most likely miss the tornado kick as you can see it coming)

[@DevDattaChaudhuri]

I really like your longer videos a lot mate . Keep up the good work .

[@nathearn]

Thank you💪definitely will continue!

[@vegeta2682]

10:57 honestly from what I know in fights with sharp weapons not getting hit is valued over killing the opponent, with a knife usually being held tightly, being too short to parry or parry with and not getting moved around pushing their hand away might be effective but that would require training which you probably aren't going to learn just for safe defense

[@kiddeleurme3814]

[@Shik_]

I'm not going to lie, I enjoy this type of videos more than I enjoy shorts, keep it up !

[@nathearn]

glad you’re enjoying them, they’re fun to make too!

[@Spacecrabsss]

Palm strikes are good it can damage your opponent when you hit them in the face or just the "lower area" I know your fist can inflict more damage but if you are not trained there's a chance of you breaking a knuckle or two specially if you punch some in the face in reality it will hurt you too so best thing todo in a fight is just run away really

[@nathearn]

That’s fair enough👍there’s definitely a use for them I agree

[@Theknightman-wg1dz]

I never like when they kick the balls because there are a good bit of situations where that just won’t work. If you’re getting attacked by a guy on meth, he’s not going to feel that pain

[@JoJeromeMP]

This! I tell my students to know the difference between a strike that is disabling vs one that is merely painful. A painful blow might work, and a blow to the balls can psychologically stun a guy just from the anticipation of pain. But drugs, alcohol, or just plain the adrenaline of an intense situation, can all mask pain. Speaking for myself, it recently dawned on me that every major injury I've had in my little life, I never felt pain upon impact. The pain comes a minute or 10 minutes or 30 minutes later when the adrenaline and shock wears off. I'm talking broken bones, torn ligaments, bruised ribs... Yeah, if you even think your ribs just got bruised, don't be all "I'm fine! Let's go do some pullups!" Ask me how I know!

[@PLAYER-yd4fn]

8:44 But do you think a normal person without any training would be able to pull that off? I think we all underestimate how hard it was for us to do the Mawashi Geri at the start. The swinging motion, flattening your foot, turning the heel, etc. I don't think I'm wrong in saying that all of us needed some attention from the trainer to be able to throw it at any level. Not quite 'solid'. The block was also pretty conditional, I suppose? It makes it easier if the other isn't expecting it, but I've tried it with a few friends from the dojo, and the results have been pretty negative.

[@robertarnold6192]

11:09 you are correct, but we have to train for eventualities like guns jamming/breaking/being out of ammo.

[@vituscastro3930]

It depends on target; a closed fist is best for softer targets (nose, solar plexus, etc.), whereas the palm of the hand is better for bony areas (where it is strongly probable that you would break your knuckles). That is the real reason boxers, and MMA fighters wrap their knuckles and wear gloves.

[@brunope6105]

I really like this longer videos! Good job

[@slithxrx4489]

he has a point when it comes to the intricate stuff, thats why we loosen the opponent up and then get to it, plus, if you do the intricate stuff straight away theyll be able to resist and youll have to muscle them down which isnt good form and will prob fail as the opponent can throw attacks at you as nat said

[@educatedcanadian7408]

Sorry to say this but you're 100% wrong. Let's be honest you haven't been in Many street fights have you. Well I have. And if you are trained in aikido or krav Maga etc you want to do those arm and wrist locks right off the bat. It usually happened too because roid monkeys like to grab people in street fights and those are the ones I like to fight. But yes those crazy wrist locks are effective

[@1bertomateus]

About these pressure points, I also thought they were useless. I'm taekwondo praticer and one day my kyosanim brought a hapkido teacher to our dojang. He used one of this and that pain was wild, I swear hahah

Simple moves when you are in a bad situation is good, but if you are able to get out without fighting, then run. Everyone should be aware of their surroundings even if it means to take out your earbuds/headphones

10:10-10:11 the Clash royale app there bro got his priorities straight 🔥 dude is the goat

[@JoJeromeMP]

~3:45... Previous life in Shotokan Karate and Ki Aikido, current life T'ai Chi/Kung Fu. Not seen that specific technique, but looks like a basic "Splitting Energy" technique. Most all of these that you critique as too elaborate, "Attacker isn't going to stand there and let you do all that," definitely true and definitely useless for the "civilian" who doesn't train to just learn off the interwebz. My Sifu calls the elaborate stuff like that (which is most of what we learn/teach) "swiss army knife" moves. The understanding being that you'll never use the complete technique as taught in a street fight. But you're developing the muscle memory to pull elements of the technique out by instinct when needed. My school also puts a lot of emphasis on the real fact that street fights will be messy, chaotic, unpredictable, and you'll end up in a lot of spots you really didn't mean to be in. "Woo-hoo! I totally blocked that punch! And... totally left myself open for the next thing so now I have to adapt and fast." To that end, I also call a lot of our techniques "Oh shit moves." I ended up in a position I didn't want to be in, now how do I adjust and get out of it? Finally, a huge difference I've experienced between Karate and Kung Fu; I think of Karate as "Cooties" and Kung Fu (especially T'ai Chi) as "Touchy-Feely." Most Karate techniques (also currently taking Kempo on the side) are about strike-and-get-out-of-there. My opponent has cooties and I don't want to touch or be near them any more than I have to. In Kung Fu/T'ai Chi, we do a lot more stepping into the attack and keeping contact with our opponent to know where they are and where they're going... Then run when you know you can get away. E.g.; I've never been a strong runner and my pushing-60-years-old knees ensure that my opponent needs to be on the ground with a leg or two disabled before I can confidently outrun them. ;-) Loving your vids! Especially critiquing McDojos (my Sifu calls them Belt Factories).

[@educatedcanadian7408]

At 9:40 yes best advice so far. Of all the things we train, knives just run. You are likely to get stabbed in that situation and Nat is right

[@JoJeromeMP]

Knife or not, "Not Being There" is always the best technique. Unfortunately, it's not always an option. Backed into a corner, other people around, trying to disarm someone who is threatening others, or if you're like me, you're just not a great runner and can never count on simply outrunning your opponent. Gotta disarm/disable them first. Even then, I think most people with a broken ankle can probably outrun me.

[@bombdotcom2168]

:o I like comparing these to what my instructor teaches me. It's pretty interesting As much as it is cool to get the technique down, from what I've learned with a hand to hand self defense situation it's best to be able to block/dodge then counterattack if necessary to be able to get away. Honestly, as cool as it is being able to do a cool takedown, the fundamentals are what's important in the long run. From the first day since I started doing Taekwando again, the combo I've always been taught is block, evade then counterattack, and that's been the most effective in and out of class. We're just taught that same combo with new moves, and taught different directions to move in as we get higher up in the belt ranks.

Hey Nat I got a question what is more important in a martial arts film: story development and plot or just fight scenes?

[@thgvn9992]

fight scene is never enough. Can u just watch a film that it has a terrible story/plot that you could turn off the TV after some minutes watching it or a film that what everyone do is just fighting and then end? I think a martial arts film should have a enough good plot, at least enough to help the people who watching it can understand what is going on and enough interesting P/S: sorry for bad English skills and using "enough" too much

The one thing i dont see videos like these take into account is that when somebody hits you your natural instinct is to cover yourself and try to defend your body by curling into a ball and when thats the case the attacker will repeatedly hit you and you will not have any opportunities to counterattack since you are too busy defending your body like if somebody’s jabbing a knife at you your focus is gonna be on that knife alone and surely the attacker is not gonna stop jabbing continuously
