There's No Mind Reading In A Fight

[@pm2050]

When I first started Aikido I was told to grab a senior student by the gi. I had a Judo background. When I grabbed him I grounded and he couldn’t pull his technique off and I quote he said “you are grabbing me wrong!” TRUTH!

[@Jahman718]

That makes you even more qualified to speak about self-defense, especially from a realistic perspective rather than a theoretical perspective. Experience is the best teacher, you’ve been through it which is why you’re here teaching it to others.

Outstanding Life Saving Self Protection Techniques

[@stevearcherarcher5960]

Thank you Prof Dave for teaching the real street offense. I always said the bad guy is not going to just stand there and let you defend yourself. Usually there are two or more and armed. From old Fort Greene Brooklyn NY. They wait till you lease expect it. Follow and run on your. On time to think, acquaintance don't matter. You better be ready. I really hope to get your course. I already shared some from Ytube to whatsapp. I move upstate already otherwise I would be to your school every week.

[@alanfreeman7374]

THANK YOU Professor. As always, GOOD info.

This video suddenly reminded me of my dad who didn't like fighting at all. But at the same time, he gave me a tennis ball, and showed me a little game. This game was to punch and kick this ball against the wall. Without it touching the ground. That little game taught me more than I would have ever gotten from a Dojo.

[@ipsofacto1000]

My God Sensi. Yiou are 1000 percent right. I love Aikido but it took me years to learn that Martial Arts is an art form. Street defense is something completely different.

[@carsonjamesiv2512]

"THAT WAS A HORRIBLE ROLL"!😂😂

[@yorkiebilger7805]

Yes 😂

[@jeffreyliddell9366]

Word 👍!

[@russellcanderson]

I have belts in different martial arts. I also boxed and wrestled. Whenever I get into a fight I leaned on the boxing and wrestling because I knew the techniques I learned in the dojo just would not work. I got introduced to competitive years ago down here in Florida if I lived in New York I would definitely study with this guy. He goes into more than just a techniques he also goes into reading body language and situational confrontations and how to mitigate circumstances or fight your way out if you have to

[@joesmith6528]

Point fully comprehended...

[@ericwein2595]

Professor David James’s videos are simply the best, most realistic self-defense videos out there. Period.

[@JimmieFontanez]

There you go Professor DJ & Kenny, another great example in knowing what you know best and schooling us the correct way, much respect to you guys, I know one day Kenny will be the next Professor . So KENNY , especially you you're going to be the one to keep move it up. So thank yous. Keep going Professor DJ , I know we all respect what you doing .

[@RonnieLisbon-of3vl]

Great advice, I was shaking the water wrong in my mind for a long time.

[@thehermit761]

this was Bruce lees argument he would talk about how people would not practice realistictly that is why he emphasised sparing so much

[@PKDanisz-ie8ul]

Thank you Professor David and Shihan Kenneth Relentless energy NRG ⚡ The need to learn from The two Gentlemen is clear it couldn't be overly aggressive to use the appropriate mindset for an appropriate encounter

[@warhawksmemories3071]

Can't wait for the 90 day program. Still deciding to either take up a free style karate or a combat sport but more interesting in getting home safe

[@StevenMsukwa]

Professor James is gifted

[@chiazorolutimileyin2975]

thanks guys

[@joesmith6528]

Effective video

[@stephenj6296]

I am thankful for the reality based information gained by this program. Street smarts 101, NOT "dojo performance". Definition of insanity: finding something that works, and then not doing it.

[@StraitTalkMedia]

Thank you so much for sharing Professor David Self offense..I learned something today...so blessed by the passion in the videos.. hopefully my attacker is Kenny so I can use Self Defense...but until then it's Self Offense from here on out...Great job guys love y'all from Birmingham Alabama

[@eugenejohnson3791]

That the way its supposed be

[@diakidis3167]

It really comes down to denial, that what people practice must work, it has to, cause it's Martial Arts, it suppose to work. But the realty is, what is practiced is the Art. What is learned, is not meant to work in real life, it's meant to instruct the art.

[@OutOfThisWorld1100]

"No you didn't attack me right!" LOL. I remember my Shotokan training didn't help me for the street. Right now, my krav maga training has been the best, along with impact style training with the ballistic suits.

[@OutOfThisWorld1100]

Still, Shotokan helped me with coordination, movement, and the techniques were good to know.

[@DanpoOlobong575]

Motivation Time Up Another Level ❤❤❤❤ Positive, Thank you Professor David 🥋and Shihan Kenneth 👍👍🥋

[@John-D.]

Funny "Skit", Thanks☯️

[@yorkiebilger7805]

Your dedication and genuineness really says it all, thank you. That movement @11.28 is similar to what's taught in Krav maga. Looks like I was lucky I never had to use it.

[@victormarshall9765]

Never practical application...in a combat situation. Osu Professor David...another real life combat.

[@davids11131113]

There’s that video of the Sensei showing some technique and he’s not getting it off because the student isn’t ’cooperating right’ and he gets all mad and they end up throwing punches at each other.

[@gregtyler9473]

This is only channel I watch I love the videos

[@chiazorolutimileyin2975]

HAPPY SUNDAY

[@John-D.]

Liked & SHARED 💥

[@elig1184]

GOOD STUFF. You did well and it will be for a good cause.

[@WyattTwerpp]

I don't watch snl but they had a comedy skit I saw where a woman gets bum rushed by a big guy and all her bogus moves got her messed up

[@davidsingleton4718]

I love this video. I think martial arts have to evolve and adapt to today's world. Much love and respect to Professor David and Shihan Kenny

[@valentinbalanica4420]

Grabing cannot aply to a bigger opponent. And like David said in another video pidgeon hand is against wrist lock

[@kahunamoneyminded8362]

Best of the best

[@John-D.]

ONLY if he LETS YOU!

[@jaygatsby9546]

You are so right that aikido move will not work in the streets, you will end up on the wrong end of life. Like prof David is saying self offense

[@carsonjamesiv2512]

NICE!😃👍

[@elig1184]

This is simply the greatest and most unique channel that offers highly effective and practical self-defense for the masses. Please share this superb quality content. Txs

[@chriswallace2298]

Practicing the wrong thing over and over again does not make the technique perfect. Only a perfect mess. Oss Professor.

[@iamedey1232]

💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Ous!

[@LUISSANABRIA-fs1iy]

I'm what if you get push from the back

[@etherealregions]

Yep! Amen bother. KZbin is full of martial arts masters getting their buts kicked. By MMA guys.

[@eugenejohnson3791]

I never saw it

[@ThugKwanDo]

Thanks

[@user-bike-hd58]

Good stuff as always Prof.David

[@southerntiger3107]

100% right!

[@gordonloughton4070]

Brilliant respect 🙏 💯 agreed

[@randyrowland6744]

Touche. Hilarious. So true. Lmao.

[@divinedamon921]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@glennrobinson7193]

Professor. Please show us real footage of confrontations you have while working on the door and how you deal with it. Otherwise I'm going to think all this you teach is unproven. Have you at any time experienced being mobbed or surrounded by attackers? Show us through real footage that what you hype preach about that you put it into practice.

[@brittaniesyfert3591]

I have seen no one do that on the street.

[@willismartin9196]

Heeeeeee !!! 😅😅😅😅

[@Alander8]

TOO MUCH TALKING AND SHOUTING TOO LITTLE OF SHOWING ACTIONS UNSUBSCRIBED

[@joncovington7512]

Outstanding professor D!!!!
