"Knock the head beyond the ass"...I'm using that from now on. That's for sure.

[@stephenstocks1074]

That thunder clap would work well with sliding the thumbs to the eyes after the strike

[@giovannifitzgerald113]

Exactly what I was thinking 😀👍

[@rayedwards7736]

Excellent examples and concise explanations. Thank you Tommy

Nice use of the finger jab (10:00) as a flinch response. I don't like using it when moving forwards because if you miss the eyes and hit the forehead you can get your fingers injured. It is always good to see your videos Mr Moore! Thank you!

[@briansandman3227]

Thanks Tommy-----really appreciate the work you did fir this clip----------

Excellent inventory of techniques with superb demonstration and instruction. If I may, one suggestion as regards the Hadaka-jime: it would be helpful to push against the small of the opponent's back with one hand or stomp on the back of one knee and then quickly taking a step backward as you apply the choke. That way the opponent's head is brought below the level of yours, negating any height advantage, plus causing him to lose his balance and lean to the rear, making it much harder for him to escape or counter. Btw, as a Judo instructor I also favor the old school version of Hadaka-jime that attacks the trachea. Thank you!

Love the simplicity and science involved in this. Regardless of the FMA and jkd I've done. This system and scientific approach to force and fluidity from one movement to another is amazing.

Thanks for another interesting video. I like the memorial to D-day and the WW2 perspective on unarmed combat.

[@Alessio.zucconi]

super!

They say once you learn this you can't turn it off, but you're a professional boxer what's your secret?

The Thunderclap was something my dad would do to us kids growing up with pillows to both sides of the head. He even called it by that name. Maybe not all of these combative were phased out of the US military by the early ‘80s.

[@josephperkins4080]

Yeh now they want bjj as a military combat system 🙄

After researching Silat for a month it's good to come back to the bread and butter I'm used to. Good tips buddy. I'd like you to try a little experiment if you would indulge me... grab someone in a combative manner and close your eyes... see if you can locate the opponents... I'll think you'll find you can get them unless they have you from behind. The key to an eye gouge attack is to anchor yourself to the opponent.... the body will naturally try to protect the eyes... anchoring bypasses the pull back.... I like to use the ear. To get an eye of a one handed strike ... to a jab like your doing an ear slap... the thumb goes in beside the eye.... they normally freeze if you leave it there tbh. But one hit, even while being struck... ended the attack... the other 2 ran off. 😉 If you do the forearm strike, turn the hand so the back faces the opponent, you won't get a artery cut if they're carrying a blade. My grandfather would be proud of you... he was on the beaches.... taught me when I was just a tyke. 😃😊🙂

Hi Tommy....i like the finger spear double tap to the eyes technique, thanks for another informative video.

[@marvinvghfffelton9179]

Good work

Bob is missing his jacket.

[@chrisd1]

Thank you for this. Have you considered any of the WW1 combatives? There's some good French material translated by M P Lynch and there's a collected book of British material under the title Fighting Fit 1914, by Adam Culling, available from amazon seems some based on catch wrestling and there's Billy C. Sandow's Self Defence for the Individual, from the US, which seems really good, "trench wrestling". I'd love to see/hear your take on that one especially

[@davidallen7540]

Very good. I look forward sering more. Have you seen the SOE training book ? Old but works.

[@iamnemo8479]
