When To Attack - Self Defense Techniques

[@garagebodz8441]

So true. Never heard in the dojo. When to attack and nullify the threat before it becomes a bigger problem is not taught. Many thanks for this eye opening Self Offense and awareness.

[@c.a.c.inthespotlight9066]

Sound technique. When to attack. Guard your self with your hands while gauging the window of opportunity. Talk to them, step off the line, attack by surprise. This is a practice. Great video and information. Many to you both, Professor and Kenny.

[@soulsearching7336]

Self Offense.. Self Offense... Self Offense... Defense, that's the "other guys problem".. I'm so happy to see that your subscription base has exploded since I first found your excellent site. Truly you have earned it all. Providing top tier methodologies and principles (not just techniques) has certainly set you guys apart from the rest. Bravo gent's. Ous!!

[@elig1184]

I could not have said it better.

[@HEMZbEATS]

Self offence = having your elements of surprise and knowing your windows of opportunity. Best practical and realistic methods of offence ever. Respect Pro N Kenny all the way from Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@JonnyRollin]

Pre-emptive strike is always,the best strike!

[@Deelove-kb9bs]

I love Professor David speaking loud gets your much needed attention

[@mindlink1811]

Poor Kenny is taking his life into his own hands when he decides to volunteer for David's too real of a demonstration. 😂

[@roybrown8151]

Self Attack techniques.. Love it. Lads of info on WHEN and HOW to attack.....

Outstanding Life Saving Self Protection Techniques

[@diceydie-c]

Not really. Not at all

[@diceydie-c]

Maybe from the movies you've seen or something

[@SS-gd4vm]

Every time I hear the Professor say the words “Kenny come on in here”. I breakout in a cold sweat. God only know what Kenny goes through when he hears them. 😅

[@carloswilkerson9761]

Yeah poor Kenny lol. Gotta love it though. I was Kenny to my uncle who was an instructor just like Prof. Dave. lol. God Bless them though🖤

[@iamedey1232]

Kenny's definitely a champ

[@DH-oy4zf]

Kenny has a good chin

[@stevechan6244]

Sound Strategy. Experience has me saying Professor David James knows the concepts and is deploying them as far as KZbin will let him. Great Video. I want out of Goju Ryu! Any Contract Attorneys out there. I was Robbed! I do KunTao, Silat, Ninpo Tai Jitsu ( not the whole thing), Danzan Jujitsu, and Tong Long Pai. I got old and I got more out of this than the Best Karate School under Chojun Miyagi's Goju Ryu (Gonna Be A Fool) Karate! I did Hakau Kai Karate and I could take a persons head off with the kicks since we stretched until we walked funny and could do the splits. That was in SFO and I was in my Teens until my early 20's. I am now 56? Here in Bakersfield they have McDojos EVERYWHERE! I get more on here than I do anywhere on KZbin? Ne Waza is cool until you get shanked on the ground? Keep doing this Teacher James. Man gives the version of Old Mans Kung Fu and they DO work! I am an old man so yea it works. After all of the Martial Arts we do and a Steak Knife ruins your Day! Black Belts, Trophies, and Gi's do not allow you to stay alive in the seconds that a homicide can take place. We are ALL on our own. Even Real Combatives become unattainable because we get old. No worries. Profeesor James breaks it down where the lay man and OLD Dude can knee on knee strike and get their head...with no problems because we all know KZbin will not allow you to show the killing moves. We already know them for most of us watching you. Hey, we all are experienced Martial Artists on here and I LOVE this Channel! KISS...Keep it Simple Stupid. GREAT JOB!

[@gainrob]

Excellent Excellent Excellent Lesson (Video)

[@04DynaGlyde]

Please do a series of videos on thinking clearly and not freezing up when in a possible conflict. There are many people who just dont know how to protect themselves and or deal with confrontation. Especially against bigger and or taller people.

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

This is an unfortunate thing that does happen. They don't get to decide when they do or don't freeze, and it can put them in serious danger.

[@kennethdumpson5719]

Peace master 👍

[@raginmundsawcheck9767]

So True!! Love that advice "Three Foot Rule"!! Words to Live By, Yes Sir... Words to Live By... Thanks again

[@markmitchell385]

The guy is great

[@rcombatlife9838]

You know what man !?? Your honesty make you the better on the net ,;) good job !

[@marcellusbrady1903]

Very good points. Don't wait for anything. It's self defense. Defend yourself if it's getting aggressive.

[@nathanbolden4072]

YES👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Valuable

[@BMO_Creative]

Yeah man! Icy Mike teaches this too! You guys need to colab! LOL That would be awesome!

[@davidwood2387]

I did a pre kick when approaching attacker came into the striking range .and it work.

[@rhondaisler1882]

thanks and peace 😮

[@darrenkostrzewski9622]

That was probably the best video I've seen on your channel and the others are fantastic as well, that's a fantastic video guys awesome as always 🙏

[@segalknievel7173]

You guys are awesome thank you.

[@anthonydavythompsonstevens4297]

Thanks Professpr David. Much Appreciated. ❤👍👍👍

[@roberthutchins946]

Greatly appreciate the real knowledge to handle real situations. Yall are awesome. To many people think TV shit is real. Nothing real about choreographed fights. Better chanc of winning dancing with the stars than a fight. Much respect guys.

[@ervinbarfield7881]

This is some excellent information. I've always heard "self defense". Self Offense makes sense.

[@ovenpipe8306]

I Love you guys! I watch all your videos and get a tremendous amount out of them. Thank you! But, at least once and awhile throw a hand out and help poor Kenny get up from the floor. Lol! It's only right man!

[@carlfranklin594]

I did a lot of training with a Sanuces Ryu group in Maryland and their philosophy was "get off first" or be the first to attack.

[@deanmann2210]

Kenny getting shook down 🤣💪

[@Azaad1956]

This is the best advice I have heard excellent.

[@tonybreez2480]

This is brilliant I've been saying this for years to other martial art teachers and practitioners that we have to practice positioning getting yelled at cursed at walked up on aggressively you got to practice these things cuz when it happens if you're not ready you'll receive everything and give nothing in return

[@BUSINESSRESOURCES130]

Great video! I have to say I never heard of this "self offense" concept in any martial arts class but it makes perfect sense. Thank you.

[@rfrancoi]

Makes perfect sense. Offense, not defense.

[@TheLogans13]

I have never seen this taught. I have asked about it, never got an answer. Thank you

[@LionBearer]

How many of You are getting Gems like this from your school / dojo ? It flows nonstop, here. Thank you, for another One, Professor & Kenny ❤

[@TheGraham43]

Nice…..when to attack

[@DanielChavez-zg6iq]

Excellent Lesson, GIve a Kenny a raise please. After all that training I imagine Kenny is one bad ass dude, just like or very simular to the Proffesor, Thank you for another great lesson.

[@michaelellis141]

Thank you guys for such effective combat strategies. Keep up the excellent work. Oss!

I remember from class ‘TOUCH!’ In the late 90’s we did these all geared up in pads it was great. I now have osteo arthritis I can no longer train in class anymore but it was great.

How much to join this gym? I live in NY

[@oedrogonzalez7056]

this video is very helpful like all of prof James videos are helpful and also funny ; when are going to attack when you remove the knife from your chest. lmfo

[@brothasean]

dope vid, senseis! sensei, my family and i are healthy and have had a decent amount of striking training over the last 8 years. there's a person that keeps coming to my building that i DON'T want to encounter OR fight but keeps wanting to encounter and possibly fight ME. he's committed one assault 3 (IN my NYC apt - i handled it) & i don't want that person around me because now i'm expecting assault 2 or 1. i've contacted the police several times about this matter & when this individual came back most recently, i called 911 AGAIN. i'm a school teacher in NYC and i can't work if i have an encounter with the police. of course "somebody at the gates" is to be handled with caution, but any fear i feel from this "threat" is because i have something to LOSE ($ or sanctity of the family). my wife and daughter are here & our door opens directly to the street. we MUST go in and out of our apartment. if i (or god forbid, my wife or daughter) see this MF when i'm OUTSIDE my gates - what do i do?

[@niceguy6827]

Please do a series of videos on thinking clearly and not freezing up when in a possible conflict. There are many people who just dont know how to protect themselves and or deal with confrontation. Especially against bigger and or taller people. Ask do a video on this in next 24 hours please

[@johnt2831]

I am very confident and still am never the aggressor. I have the three foot rule as well. But I let the person know, that if you come closer than the length of my leg, you are going to get hurt. I have this rule because I have been sucker punched so many times that I no longer trust people to get close to me. I find that even if I am sitting somewhere, I must have my back to the wall so that I can see everyone, and everything going on around me. You can always tell by the persons energy, whether or not they will test this. I try talking my way out at first, but usually that doesn't work, because they seem to want to beat me up even more. I never start a fight, but I finish them. By the time that they realize that they made a huge mistake, it is too late by then. Once I start throwing hands, knees, elbows etc, it is over.

[@marksn4020]

So good

[@Caleb-ez7jx]

this man is the shit. good stuff!

[@victormarshall9765]

My question Professor is there legal ramifications to preemptive attack in the state of NY. I know it's self preservation to do preemptive self defense. Thanks for sharing self offense techniques.

[@alvinhickling901]

there is alwys a risk of being prosucuted but compared to being beaten to death i tae the risk , also holding your hands up saying i ddont want any trouble just before you blast him makes you look more inocent Just sayin !

[@victormarshall9765]

​@@alvinhickling901I concur.!!

[@jeffreyjackson5229]

First, I don't argue.

[@biggwillbeats4384]

Bomb First‼️

[@shawnsalvetti1793]

I want to see this guy and John after talk to eacher

[@georgebowman1060]

lol 😂 🤣 "Why would I want to do that❗"

[@williebateman3613]

You never see a Goju dojo oosh🙏

[@Pierre50mm]

He's right. I did kumite in karate and in general I let the opponent coming in. When he's moving toward me, my attack will be faster than his. The most important is not telegraphing your strike or not showing what you're about to do. The strike must be straight and fast. But it depends. Once I won a point when I attacked first by throwing a fake jab, the guy opened his defense and I kicked him in the stomach. The elbow is also effective

[@jeannettemiller9275]

THE FIRST HIT CAN BE THE TWO FOR ONE HIT/THEY HIT YOU AND YOU HIT THE FLOOR 💪🏿

[@RT-mn2pb]

Oww, ouch, oh that hurt. Man, I attacked that Like and that Subscribe button just like he said, and ooh man my fingers hurt.

[@John-D.]

EVERYBODY loves Kenny! 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tprodyma]

I do, wholeheartedly, agree with your philosophy BUT as you said, there are people usually filming from their phones. If you throw the first punch/attack you are considered the aggressor according to the law and you are the one going to jail :-(

[@jeffreyjackson5229]

Just because you don't put yourself in harm's way means that you're less confident. Back to the arguing point, I don't argue because it distracts the mind. You are so busy on focusing on a verbal comeback, you are not focused on him- his body language.

[@plectroman]

I am wondering if someone violating the 3 foot rule is a legally viable argument in court.

[@greatfilmmaker]

And it depends on how you take a punch. Not only will it hurt, but it will make you dizzy, and you can't concentrate.

[@malcolmnex9297]

The best way to stop an attacker/aggressor is to make him fear for his on safety. I just found this channel and I am glad I did. Malcom from Oakland
