Using an Non Violent Posture

[@kevlord9]

I'm 38 and never been in a fight in my life, .. came close a few times but always talked my way out of it

[@mcmc1863]

Nothing wrong with that at all

[@Hexenhammer]

The end of this, where your opponent has to reorient himself, is utter genius. I have used the fence so many times as a bouncer, but no one has ever explained it quite like this, sir. Bravo!

[@QuantumMech_88]

Bouncer , doorman and personal protection . Do your best to maintain a non threatening posture , but have your feet planted correctly and be ready to rock .

[@Carlton_Wilson]

I like to put my hands up, but out front, in a "Hey, I don't want trouble" gesture. It sets up my defense, my counterattack, and reminds eyewitnesses that I didn't start the fight in which I ruthlessly harmed my attackers. It's important that you aren't seen as the aggressor. Learned this the hard way.

[@Carlton_Wilson]

@@watenallace663 I learned to do this a long time ago. Witnesses don't always remember what started the fight, but they sure as Hell remembered the moment when I made a guy's nose come off his face. I barely avoided felony aggravated battery conviction on that one. I also make it a point to not raise my voice. Let your attackers do that.

[@supriyodatta3116]

Superb practical stuff!

[@flamecolumn]

Other commenters echoed my thoughts. The fence looks to onlookers that you are trying not to fight, possibly intimidated, saying hold on a second, etc. so when the cops come the spectators and cameras will portray you as the one deescalating.

[@MrBrown-yw4oe]

Your voice, the flow of ideas, peculiar showmanship. I've learned more about self defense from this than any spat I've had. Thanks 👍

[@aol6983]

Brilliant Lee, as always, so fantastic at explaining basic defence tips that we can all use.

[@jfilm7466]

I've been combining verbal judo with Tim Larkin's system as we can't expect a fair fight. It's also true that the eyes are the mirror to the soul, possibly the aura, but we usually know what's going to happen or not. Derren Brown has got some great stuff on brain scrambling.

[@specialcombatdefensivetact1784]

Excellently done! Many of these principles are taught to law enforcement officers here in Virginia. We did move the contact distance to three arm's length from arms and a half distance. Very difficult for anyone to effectively punch from the three-arm length distance. I will be sharing this vid with my students and my fellow law enforcement instructors. Lots of excellent info and application for police and corrections officers.

@@MikeD-hn9hf it screams something...

[@danielskipp1]

Solid class... just one thing though, I wouldn't tell a hostile to "calm down". That's not non-confrontational and usually makes them worse.

[@StormBringare]

Yelling "CALM DOWN!" will kick things off but worked into sentences more calmly should be fine. If someone's fuming it's more about energy and getting them thinking than about specific words IMO.

[@splatbubble]

@@StormBringare agreed... sometimes taking things on yourself, or making things a LITTLE less black and white can help.... "I think we should maybe just calm down." or "How about we both just calm down a bit..."... that way you're not barking orders, but making a suggestion. This stuff can work well in general teaching/meeting examples as well. I enjoyed and learned a lot in this video too.

[@optimize.]

100%, your energy and attitude speak louder than your words. And intelligent communication will manage 99% of conflicts; ‘Speak softly but carry a big stick’.

[@HKFunster]

It works if you say it repeatedly, have a perm, are wearing a brightly coloured shell suit and have a thick scouse accent. Seen it done on the telly before.

[@loxleyltd]

My dad taught me this when i was younger. Always used it. The DONT STAND SQUARE. Arms length one foot back ready with defence or attack. It’s one of the best things I was ever taught. But it does get a few odd looks from your opponent if not done exactly. They always look at your feet and expect somethings incoming but when they see your not attacking I have always found the aggressor gains more confidence. So it’s gonna kick off basically. At least it always usually did for me 🤭 tactically for me wait for your opportunity and attack fast and hard. He asked for it

[@boastyy]

Exactly, a lot of guys who start fights will try to intimidate and see how you react. The second you show any weakness ,they get even more confident. Had a friend in the same situation saying he did not want any trouble and was trying to back off and the guy went ballistic trying to knock him out until my other mate smacked him in the face and hurt him, he backed down straight away off one punch lol.

[@PrimeMatt]

The psychological aspects of having that barrier between you is not to be overlooked. Even if it is a very subtle fence, and the opponent is not consciously aware it is a 'fence', they will still feel it as a barrier to be overcome before they can do anything, and that could be the difference between them trying and not.

[@mikearakelian6368]

Like your explanation of the fence n placement of hands; and of course your right... Learn something new everyday

[@NakedSteak]

I used fence and other NVPs to deescalate conflicts that were going to get violent, and they worked wonderfully. Especially fence worked like a charm when things got escalated.

[@juanmontelongo7314]

Great video and great explanation on de-escalation. Even though I’ve thankfully have not been in a violent situation in many years, I train for this possibility often. The two touch rule seems to be a great way to handle a violent confrontation that will either de escalate or to be the point in which to act. Thank you.

[@Lutonman2010]

I had a bit of an altercation last year whilst driving in london. A guy thought I’d got him to get a ticket by forcing him to stop in a box junction behind me. What he couldn’t see was that there was a learner in front of me so I actually had no where to go. He started making violent gestures towards me in his car. We had a bit of verbal and I thought that was it. However he followed me for several miles, out of london and eventually when I stopped at a service station he pulled in behind me a few minutes later. I was more than a bit surprised. Whilst he was shouting and posturing and saying he wasn’t frightened and we should sort it out like real men. I adopted a nice relaxed fence. It quickly became clear to me that this guy was very verbal and aggressive when out of range, but less so at he got closer to me. So he basically wasn’t a threat. In this case I honestly believe being trained helped to avoid violence. If this was two posturing idiots then I’m sure there would have been physical confrontation. I was comfortable that this guy had no actual fight training, it’s amazing how I was able from behind my fence to actually run through what I was gonna do the second he got into range. Thankfully he didn’t and it all fizzled out and he left after demanding an apology, happy his manly ego had been fed. In this case the fence worked just about as well in real life as I could ever have hoped for in training. 👍👍 the one and only time I’ve ever needed it in real life and I hope the last.

Thanks. Discussing how not to get into an unnecessary fight through de escalation is great. I'd rather have someone who's had a bad day and wants to take it out on someone vent on someone who's in a similar state of mind. When 'the red mist' is going in someone it is hard to snap them out of that mindset... Or is there a way- short of knocking them out?

As Tony Blauer puts it, our NVP is our modern day Trojan Horse. It aligns our weapons while attempting de-escalation (to our threat and to onlookers). This gives us legal and moral benefit and allows us to maintain an element of surprise.

[@zeus1141]

I see the sense... but I feel that putting your hand that low in the middle and out there, will only get you knocked out with a haymaker or hook around the hand and ANYONE will be too slow to stop it or react to it. My preach is; if I can touch you; so can you touch me. Hint: you don't need to be in touching distance to still connect (a good striker), so again placing yourself at that distance and hands down will get you knocked out.
