Wrist Locks Are Garbage For Self Defense

[@brianwilliams8033]

Great advise. In self defense we should always prioritize good strong basic techniques, whatever they may be for that individual. As you say, putting your safety first! Much respect 🥋🥋👊

[@StealthyNomadica]

Oh, Sifu Goat, you could do groupings of great videos and/or shorts targeting self defense for women and special techniques for kids, like awareness and escape skills. Something that always weighs heavily on my mind is seeing children walking up and down the street by themselves. They’re such easy targets for somebody in a van. Your crisp style is so easy to understand and you can very effectively train mindset, grey-man stealth, evade and escape, signaling , and many other vital skills! I’m praying for your success, Sifu. You’ve got a special talent I rarely see among other MA practitioners! 🙏

[@Selfdefensegoat]

Stay tuned for future videos. It’s hard to find an adult that will allow their children to be plastered all over the internet which I respect.

[@JMac-fj1rg]

With children, teach them that they have been issued with 32 teeth, 10 fingernails and 2 feet. They should not hesitate to use them all. If someone bigger than you tries to hurt you, well then, that isn't fair, so you don't have to be fair either

Wrist locks are not practical when they're not practised, just like any other technique

[@scottlaroc7396]

Great info…. I have 13 1/2 yrs of training, 2nd Degree Jujitsu. I would never try to apply a wrist lock right from jump and I know how to efficiently.I’m not going to say they don’t work because there are ways to get to them if you are a seasoned practitioner.But as mentioned They Are Not Practical in a self defense situation. NO ONE IS JUST GOING TO LET YOU PUT THEM IN A LOCK.

Nothing works if the other person knows what you are going to do.

[@Selfdefensegoat]

Isn’t that obvious

[@jfearless3420]

@@Selfdefensegoat my point is that you can argue anything is garbage regarding self-defense if the person knows what you are going to do. There are a lot of youtubers who put down martial arts or self-defense like Ramsey and Captain Chris and this other guy who claims to be a navy seal. You might have seen his ads. Every time they show that a move or a technique doesnt work the attacker in their scenarios always seems to know what technique they are going to do. They also have the attacker having much more knowledge of martial arts than the average street thug. Wrist locks can work in self defense situations depending on the person executing them and the person receiving them. Many martial artists wouldnt just do the wrist lock. They would incorporate a combative or a distraction prior to executing the technique. Perhaps your title was just to catch people's attention.

Thank you Sensei. Your teaching is the only reality-based instruction on YT! Great teaching...great explanations!😊

Thank you for sharing real life training!

They are not. They are easy to apply. Particularly the inside versions

[@StealthyNomadica]

Sifu Goat, I just looked up your website. Sadness: you’re in Calgary, CANADA, 1,138 miles from my door otherwise I’d join. I’m looking for a Krav studio in my area, but they’re a 1 1/2 hour drive which makes frequent training hard as hell. There’s a MMA studio about 3 miles away that I’m scoping. The owner is a good (godly) man and he works with kids like you do. I’d like to make a suggestion that you be aware of your language with your videos and expect that kids (and their parents) are going to be influenced by their attitudes about swearing.

[@Selfdefensegoat]

Please look into the digital seminar available on BudoBrothers.com. Use KGDEFENSE for a 20% discount so you can train yourself at home without having to drive 1.5 hours or 1200 miles. Appreciate the feedback. The intended audience is Adults. I do not swear in my kids program.

[@BFett-ri8kt]

I can only think that someone would grab your wrist to pull you ( onto a punch perhaps) other than that nobody is going to start a fight with wrist grab , maybe grab your shirt to assert themselves but not really a wrist grab. So its as you teach, your problem is whats coming , not your wrist being grabbed. Just as you show defend or move to attack first then slip the wrist after with a quick round flick . Great video

[@sarahv8284]

No hun your bigger and stronger 💪❤

[@mkleng]

Kevin, where’s the latest video on Grab Defense? I saw it almost to the end and then it went missing? It’s really good as I was put in that situation before and it ended badly for me. So that’s great help, man!! So, can you post again?!

[@Selfdefensegoat]

Should still be there, try again

[@patrickkeoug6070]

Love your videos but you've missed the mark on this one. Wrist locks and finger locks are fantastic self defence tools if you know how to get them on, people react differently but the principle to getting them on and keeping them on are the same: know 1 thing to know many applications.

[@joshikrishna7118]

[@SonnyCrocket-p6h]

I never seek anee specific sort of hold or strike . I take what I can get as things progress. Just because an informed person can get out of a given hold doesnt mean that tipical thugs can do so. U should always have a different hold or strikes ready in case a given technique fails

[@mervinmarias9283]

You touched on why aikido does and doesn't work. It works because technically it does. The moves are legit. There is nothing wrong with them on a fundamental level. If you have the skill level and composure to apply them under stress you will look like a god. They don't work if you don't spend a lot of time sparring and developing your composure under stress. Lots of people are quick to scream bulshido. If they were to actually were to get off their asses and practice a skill until they are good at it, they would understand how much potential we all have.

[@Redthepunkrocker]

My sensi talks about that body movement tai sabaki you can't pull your opponent towards using muscles you use your hips

[@Poqanics]

I don't think you're honestly repping the signif of a wrist lock..it's used under duress, but in a situation where you have an advantage, you can be standing and pull a mf'er in when he reached or strikes, or you can be on the ground which Pete the Greek demos as ideal..and use as a tactic, it's not a macro attack, it's an end all

[@masteroluselfdefense]

Master Goat even this your technique is not realistic..any self defense moves that is more than one to two moves have higher chance of failing in the street or real life SelfDEFENSE situation

[@Selfdefensegoat]

What technique are you referring to?

[@masteroluselfdefense]

Ooops! Very very sorry master I did not get you right the other time now I have watch the video again ..u are very correct, I tot u are trying to teach those techniques earlier sir, I am very sorry 🙏🙏🙏🙏...you always have a very realistic video anyways...watching from Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬
