The shoulder throw as a defense from standing rear naked choke is a real Judo technique (first time I did it successfully I was 10) but there are some caveats, such as: the person choking you needs some forward momentum (like if you are both struggling), and once it is sunk it is sunk, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

@McCarthy1776 8 сағат бұрын

Lol kenpo is such bullshit. I did that for several years when I was younger and even as a kid I was like who is going to stand in a crescent stance and shuffle in telegraphing their completely straight punch. Kenpo assumes everyone is going to just throw that telegraphed straight punch at you. And tiger claws? Really? I didn't learn anything that would be effective in kenpo. And those blocks are so unrealistic. How would you have time to do a full circular block like that. Obviously a straight punch will be faster then that exaggerating block. Boxing on the other hand is incomplete but for punching and avoiding punches it's top tier. And it's refined through trial by fire. Boxers actually fight and their methods are proven time and time again to work. Sparring in kenpo is bullshit, you get a point just for touching the other guy and then you reset, that's nothing like a real fight. And katas are completely useless and stupid. Its like choreography for a poorly made kungfu movie. They say that's how you would fight many different opponents at once. Anyone with any knowledge of combat knows 1 man is not going to take on more than 2 men. Even 2 on one is extremely difficult. I have seen 1 guy knock out 3 guys but he just happened to land 3 knock out punches and the 3 guys were completely useless. But 99% of the time 1 guy no matter how bad ass he is can't take on 3 men. Much less a mob of men. Kenpo is just an adaptation of Shaolin Kung Fu which is just a Buddhist religious ritual.

The technique that turns the rotation of the attacker from their head to the ground defense is something I used to practice in To Shin Do, one of the arts studied by Hardee Merritt, who you did one of the Ninja videos with. One of the styles variations of defense involves first a clapping type strike with the defenders palms to attackers ears to rupture the eardrums, a headbutt ending with the turn seen in the video. Very cool!

OK, bear with me as I mashup a bit of philosophy and cognitive science into my praise: IMO sometimes in our quest for "effective" we over-emphasize the "martial" at expense of the "art." Art endures because it touches something deeper within us than physical... Like laughter! And those things we remember and find joy in, we can also embody more effectively. And I think everyone here demonstrates finding that optimal cognitive space between being embedded within a context, embodied in practice, enacted practically, with the best extended cognition as they learn from each other... AND the past! Funny, impactful, and MUCH THANKS to all the participants!

We refer to that head technique as the Steering Wheel Take down and it is quite effective. The one aspect that they missed however is that in any bear hug situation you have to drop your center of gravity and push your ass back. This way you have a good base and can create power through rotation of the hips. If you notice in this video, during the bear hugs his back was arched, effectively weakening his base and lessening his power. He still made the technique work though. If the victim is smaller and weaker than the attacker he/she would have to correct that form in order for the technique to be effective! Just something to think about. Good video though!

@alonsoallen 4 ай бұрын

This leg grab move was taught to me, the key is to do head and groin strikes first. And when sitting down when grabbing the leg, don't just use your back and arms, use your legs to create leverage. BTW, this is easier if the person being grabbed is shorter, and harder if they are taller like Seth.

@toddellner5283 5 ай бұрын

As someone who was, for a few years, one of the best informed folks around on self defense outcomes, there are other things at play. And it's not just "She tried that in a controlled setting against a trained fighter and it didn't work." Self defense isn't just or even primarily about winning a game of knuckle tag. It is about not being the victim of a violent crime, and if you are coming out of it better than you would have otherwise. If you recognize a dangerous situation before there is a specific threat and work around it, congratulations. You have done perfect self defense. If you see the threat and avoid it, great. If you can convince him whatever he wants isn't worth what he'll have to pay to get it, very good. If the bad guy decides there is someone else easier to victimize it worked. If your initial reaction to a creep is to hunker down, make yourself small and hope he will go away, congratulations, you just won a crime. If you have a planned, practiced response even if it isn't the absolute best there's a good chance the predator will look for different prey. And if you do fight back verbally or physically - not screaming or aimless struggling - the chance of the attack being completed goes way, way down. We have over half a century of multi-factor multi-disciplinary research from around the world on this. That's the baseline. The more effective the stuff you learn is and the easier it is to bring up under stress the better.

Being so experienced in karate, is there another martial art he’s seen that he thinks in another lifetime he would have loved to pursue in the same way as he did karate?
