Wrist Grab Defense - Self defense against a wrist grab

[@TR4zest]

AS a dad, I love seeing these young women learn some really effective tools to give them confidence and, if needed, protect themselves. Well done.

[@InstinctDefenseAcademy]

Thanks! I’m a dad myself with 3 girls so I know the feeling :)

[@SPBLadoga]

Sorry, but it is bullshido.go at home, and ask your friend to do this drill with you in real speed and strength it was a little surprise for you. I in combat sport almost 30 years. Kyokushinki, grappling, boxing. Peoples can do what they wants, but the big problem in such training that they start to think that they can really confront the criminal. But in real situation the consequences of this will be sad. Be careful - the better way to be safe is run away if you see any possible problem.

[@InstinctDefenseAcademy]

Thank you for sharing your perspective and taking the time to express your concerns. I appreciate the wealth of experience you've gained in combat sports over the past 30 years, encompassing Kyokushin-ki, grappling, and boxing. It's evident that you have a strong foundation in various disciplines. I agree with you on the importance of prioritizing avoidance and escape in potentially dangerous situations. Running away when possible is indeed a fundamental principle of self-defense, and I emphasize that in my videos. It's crucial to understand the context and applicability of different techniques. I also appreciate your distinction between self-defense and the warrior arts. Knowing when to use simple, direct techniques for personal safety versus employing more complex strategies in controlled environments is key. Your insights align with my belief that self-defense is about survival, and the focus should be on techniques designed to escape or create an opportunity to do so. I'm open to addressing your concerns in more detail and would welcome a constructive conversation. If you could specify which aspects you find ineffective or problematic in the demonstrated technique, I'd be more than willing to discuss and, if necessary, showcase alternative methods that align better with your expertise and expectations. Your feedback is valuable, and I believe we can engage in a productive dialogue that benefits both the audience and myself. I look forward to hearing more about your perspective and addressing any specific points you raise in a future video. Best regards, Peter

I want to emphasize that in the video, I began by demonstrating common martial arts examples, followed by more practical self-defense tips. I understand the importance of realism in self-defense training, and I'm always open to constructive feedback. If you have specific concerns or if there are aspects you believe could be improved, I would be grateful if you could share your ideas. It's through thoughtful discussions and sharing of perspectives that we can collectively enhance our understanding of self-defense techniques. My intention is to provide practical and applicable advice, and I welcome any insights you might have to offer. If you believe there are better approaches or techniques, please feel free to share them. Constructive dialogue benefits everyone involved, and I'm committed to providing content that aligns with real-world scenarios.

[@InstinctDefenseAcademy]

I think we can accommodate this. Thanks for your request.

[@reginaldwelkin]

First, I appreciate that you have smaller and weaker opponents successfully pull these techniques off. I'm sick of watching big guys push around little weak people in training videos. Techniques are much less important for a stronger and bigger person to use against the weak. Such videos don't show whether the technique actually works or not against someone of equal or greater size. Second, I had to look up the name of your school, rather than seeing a link here on KZbin. Putting a link somewhere might drive more traffic to your program.

[@InstinctDefenseAcademy]

I appreciate your thoughtful feedback and your recognition of the importance of showcasing techniques with smaller and weaker opponents. It's indeed crucial to demonstrate that self-defense techniques can be effective regardless of size or strength differentials. I strive to provide practical and applicable content that can empower individuals of all sizes. As for the information about my school, thank you for bringing that to my attention. I'll consider your suggestion and look into adding a link in the video description to make it more accessible for those interested in learning more about the program. Your input is valuable, and I'm always looking for ways to improve and provide a better experience for viewers. If you have any specific requests for future videos or if there's anything else you'd like to see, please feel free to let me know. I'm here to help and appreciate your engagement with the content.

The best self-defense method is to stay off your phone. If everyone else is wandering around, glued to their phone and completely unaware of their surroundings, keeping your eyes open and your hands free makes you a much less attractive target.

Do ANY of these techniques work on an aggressive, non-cooperative assailant?

[@InstinctDefenseAcademy]

Thanks for your question. Truth be told they can all work or they can all fail. Depends on the attacker and the defender. Many people think that it’s all about the technique. We call this the 80/20 trap. People think that 80% depends on the technique used and 20% on the mindset. But it’s the opposite of that. 80% depends on your mindset and only 20% on the technique. I’m working on making a complete self defense program for those who can’t attend a workshop in person that goes over all these things since it’s impossible to cover all these things in a short video like this.

[@landdreugh9955]

Do you do any full-contact sparring which includes your techniques, or do you only teach techniques in isolation?

[@InstinctDefenseAcademy]

Yes we do. That being said my main objective is not to teach people how to fight but how to live. With that philosophy our approach to sparring is slightly different than the norm.

That's so weird. Had a friend at university come up to me, he said he wanted to show me a technique he learned in martial arts class. It was that wrist escape. Asked me to hold his wrist and he easily escaped. Accused me of not taking it seriously enough so I actually held his wrist seriously and no matter what he did he couldn't break the hold. Sorry but you're not breaking out of a tight grip on your wrist. The guy in the video isn't even trying. And these "techniques", try them against a non compliant, aggressive target that actually means to do you harm. See what happens. It's not going to happen the way you choreograph these scenarios in your head. This isn't a movie. You're going to get people hurt with this nonsense.

[@mimesthaisilva8321]

I totally agree with you.

[@PaulSmith-yj8xh]

@@mimesthaisilva8321 I Disagree...I'm a martial arts instructor, I weight 14 stone, 6ft and 45 yrs old, my assistant instructor is 18 stone of muscle, I always ask him to grab literally as hard as he can when I demo. With the correct technique, such as stepping in close before attempting the release, and always working against their thumb or the gap between finger and thumb, I escape every time, even in slow motion. I think speed is important, they don't expect it. Double handed wrist grab is a great example. Doesn't matter how hard I'm grabbed, simple leverage wins with right technique. Entire upper body and core vs the thumbs. Granted, no point in practicing unless you go all out to grab as hard as you can. I just graded a 15yr old to black belt, I'm 45 and a third degree black belt in multiple martial arts. I literally threw this kid around in every grab you could think of as hard as I could, up against walls, his hair, throat, you name it...with good training, he was able to escape. He was red all over his arms, chest and throat. He didn't of course go for my eyes and throat as you would in real life. Just used leverage....On the other hand, I've been taught techniques by my own sensei, for escape from underhand bearhug, which simply don't work when faced with a bigger guy, but that's when you go for eyes etc which you cant really practice! I think this guys moves are legit. The girl genuinely floored him with that taking away double wrist grab! The key I think, is to not have false hopes, practice the moves against a full strength attack, learn what will actually work vs, what will only work against a weaker attacker.

[@miss.l.1563]

Wrist grabs are very rare and these techniques will NOT work if your opponent is a stronger than you are. You will not be able to budge their arm. Most fights will not include a wrist grab. Not to say these techniques have no value it is just difficult to make them effective.

[@InstinctDefenseAcademy]

Wrist grabs might be rare in UFC/MMA type fights. Sounds like you are thinking of Mano a Mano type scenarios. That is not what this channel is about. MMA and BJJ are better at those type of scenarios. Wrist grabs are very real in self defense scenarios when men try to over power women. With the right strategy and the right technique these will absolutely work. Happy to show you if you can describe what you want to see. Please describe the type of attack you want to see as well as the level of resistance and we will do our best to make another video showcasing that.

@@InstinctDefenseAcademy " the type of attack you want to see" = an attack in which the bad guy responds to the technique

[@Jarek_73]

The greatest obstacle in this scenarios is not technique or power but fear. Women tend to panic and freeze, the testosteron aggression, which automatically kicks in in men after being attacked, is not in them. So the greatest downside of teaching girls fight, is the fact that while in normal situation, when the asshole who attacks her would probably stop immediately after seeing her sobbing on the ground, he will be raging like mad if the girl counter attacks him, and will eventually use much more violence than he had wanted before. In other words if a girl see a massive weight and height (god forbid muscle mass) difference, it is better to react as we all expect, i.e. let the asshole slap and cool down. A few bruises are better than something much worse.

[@RandyWinn42]

@@Jarek_73 "Let him beat you up a little bit, trust him to stop before you are seriously injured or dead" as advice that is, IRL, at best unhelpful. Some try it and end up in the hospital, others try it and end up in the morgue. Much better would be to teach women (and for that matter, men) who are not emotionally accustomed to stand against being brutalized to learn to do so. The precise technique may not be so important as practicing the attitude, over and over, so it is there when needed. Most aggressors prefer compliant victims, that's just the math. When a situation happens, every target has to make their own assessment of a situation and if allowing someone to hit you seems better to you than fighting back, that is your choice. But to have a choice at all, women (and men) need better options.

You should not teach offensive moves in women's self defense. Those "open palm punches" presented by ladies have ZERO effect on potential attacker. They will only be considered as a "start of a fight". Women self defence should focus on how to not get caught, how to release and other means to leave conflict ASAP, not to look for an opening, escalation punch.

[@InstinctDefenseAcademy]

Let me borrow a quote from Rory Miller in response to your comment. “It’s better to avoid than to run, it’s better to run than to de-escalate, it’s better to de-escalate than to fight, it’s better to fight than to die”. The only thing is I replace the word “Fight” in this quote with the word “injure”, because you are right if women try to “fight”against a larger male attacker they will most likely loose. But they can most certainly learn how to injure them using the right mindset and tactics.

[@TheEuropeanPrepper]

Doesn't work in real life... I'm sorry

[@InstinctDefenseAcademy]

Violence is a very complex subject and statistics sadly show that 75% of victims who made attempts to defend themselves were not successful. Why is that? It’s partially because too many people fall into the 80/20 trap. Thinking that 80% of success is all about the proper technique and 20% is the mindset. Really it’s quite the opposite. 80% is all about the proper mindset and technique is only 20%. In this video we are only talking about 1% of what you could do from an application standpoint and we are not even covering mindset. However I promise that almost anyone who has the proper mindset and understands the principles as shown in this video will be able to use this in a real life setting with minimal amount of training. Feel free to join us on the mat if you’re interested.

Dude, I was researching wrist grabs defenses for a good hour now (getting inspired for a seminar I give next week). This was among the top 3 Videos of about 20 Vids I have seen in this hour. The explanations of the 3 mechanical ways to remove the grip were really nice, the techniques were simple, there was even a moment when a pupil threw the master by accident. What more testament do you need for the effectivity of the techniques? Btw, your notion that self defense should work agaist "experienced resisting opponents" is BS. No teacher can teach a normal person to ward off an attacker with 2 years of boxing, wrestling or MMa experience. Not in the short amount of time that a self defense seminar provides. It's just not possible quickly to teach anyone to defeat someone who has any understanding of timing. What can be taught in a self defense class are brute force methods that work against an idiot who has no ability of reading what the defender is doing.

[@oczhaal]

This works !!! (when the woman is 3 times stronger than the man who gets her wrists!!!)
