You can condition your body and you can use the Muay Thai kick check to protect the torso

@@diaconicon that means a lot to me!! Train hard, my brother!!

@CrowdPleeza I wouldn't rule it out either. Obviously, there are many positive attributes to BJJ training, especially in the ways of controlling someone else. And I would never say otherwise. (Myself and my entire family train BJJ). All I'm saying is that there are other options, especially when the goal is to maintain range and distance.

@@Helltown66 thats a great idea. One that is included in the training, I assure you.

@UnexpectedWonder I completely agree!!

@@UnexpectedWonder you sound like a guy who has never been in a fight

@@garblehose I've probably been in way more than you. My Fighting and Martial Art is based around Street Fighting.

@@UnexpectedWonder 😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣

@@garblehose You speak like a Kid with no Real Life experience. I had left a reply with a scenario before you commented that I'm guessing TH-cam deleted because of a depiction of Violence or something. What experience do you even have, Anonymous?

@algierssolja aww, we have such insecurity that we have to get on TH-cam and spout this type of stupidity? What part of the video triggered you?

@benconforzi5696 I think it can definitely be beneficial in certain situations. But definitely not the end all be all.

@moroniford7101 I was going to take you seriously, I really tried. But the first line, "self defense classes are bullcrap". Man. Such a general statement from a supposed professional. Being a cop gives you clout? I've known great cops that have greatly influenced the "self defense" world with nothing less than professionalism and positivity. I have also known a few cops that obviously could have been shown a bit more positive attention growing up. Wonder which one you are??? Anyways, thanks for stopping by with your professional opinion. I wrote it down, I promise. Have a great day, officer!

@raydrexler5868 love it!! Giving our children the gift of self protection, especially in this present reality, is paramount.

@@lycandefensive I will argue that it was never safe and probably worse when our martial arts ancestors created the arts, but it ain’t changed much. Get your kids healthy and strong, both physically and mentally and when they are ready, arm them with legal tools to protect themselves and others with. Mine are grown now and still carry tools for self protection. Pepper spray (gel with dye is best imo) is a great fight stopper. A good knife, even a firearm if you are willing to train them. Also use the cell phone. Most phones will call 911 on speaker if you tell them to loudly. When dispatch picks up the other end, watch how fast the bad guys find something better to do. Lastly, teach them it’s better to be seen as rude or crazy than a corpse. I would rather be wrong about a good person than a bad one, so if they sense something wrong, do something. Go back inside the store or drive away. Run, or get ready (maybe pre-load your tool into your hand secretly) to fight. Be load and describe exactly what is happening and what the bad guy is doing for witnesses. Don’t expect help in the moment, but do expect witnesses after if they are around.

Love it!!

@richardtodd6559 ah man, you almost made a relevant point, yet you just missed completely. There is a lot of benefit here, from body mechanics, to skill transfer, to attribute building, all the way to improvised weapons. Funny thing too, you bring up that we should be focusing on empty hands when the entire premise of the video is empty handed applications of what we would do with the stick and knife. Way to show up and look completely ignorant. Better luck next time. Have a great day.

You don't need to carry a stick, but you can carry a collapsible baton. There's also a walking cane or stick, but if you happened to be in the Canary islands, in the Portuguese countryside or the south of France. Rest assured that you are going to encounter people going about with sticks.

Whether Defendu, Combato, or rough and tumble it's all the same. For self-defense you must fight dirty and anything and everything is acceptable. The game is about survival, not sports!

@@marcd1981 thank you!!

@Oshaoxin in a perfect world, you'd be correct. But this is a very nieve and ignorant statement for the reality that we find ourselves in. You don't have to look very hard to find examples ranging from sexual assult, human trafficking, straight-up bullying, and pretty much every crime out there that can be committed against another human.

@@grapplewithreality that's so awesome!!

As good men, it's imperative to help show our young ones how to take on life.

Thank you, my friend! Yeah, even with the head gear, my brain got knocked around pretty good. I was proud.

Back again...

@@takebyforceny8915 you are absolutely correct, my friend!!

Or they just have nothing else better to do. I sometimes see vudeos that I don't agree with or would never train. Know what I do? I scroll on, and that's it. It's really a lost art.

The short answer is that the base is dropped considerably from a traditional stance, and there is much less of a gap between you and your opponents (extreme close quarters). Therefore, the mid section is a less likely target, and in the event of a surprise strike, it's easy to adjust for. I would definitely not recommend keeping the high guard in kicking range. That's just asking for problems. But, in very close, protection of the head and it's knock out points remains high priority.

Do you? That's weird.

Interesting.

Its effective when entering protected. The key is to not get stuck and to make it ballistic.

@BeepBoop2221 gotta say man, I agree with you. And if this is a true representation to how you feel, we have a video or two coming down the line that I think you'll enjoy.

@@BeepBoop2221 but I do appreciate the comment, especially from someone who has been there, who has the experience.

@@lycandefensive I've spent 4 plus years doing defence lab, if you're still in with them I highly suggest you get out.

@BeepBoop2221 I have, since the release of this particular video, walked away. And you know what? Best decision (pertaining to my martial arts journey) that I have ever made. I started in 2012, was diligent in my training, and I can say that I have no regrets that I walked away, except that I probably should have done it sooner. All that being said, there are some things that I picked up along the way that I think are useful. But overall, I agree with your assessment.

@lycandefensive I do feel that some of the stuff, using the shell as a reaction. Perfectly fine. However as time went on things got way too into the weeds, we were drilling punching behind ourselves, the grappling despite andy being a purple belt was terrible. That's not even getting into the buisness practiced and MLM stuff I hope you're better off now you left, when I left I felt like I should have done it years before.

Who are delivering Body Shots in Street Fights?

@@UnexpectedWonder you ever tried punching a fence post as hard as you can and managed to not break your hand? first of all, if you're punching someone's face and still able to use it properly after, then your punches are garbage. second of all, who takes body shots? someone who isn't a complete idiot and knows how to fight

@@garblehose 1. Why are you breaking your hand? You don't know about Bareknuckle Boxing and properly punching. You completely screwed up what I said. I asked a basic question. 🤦🤦😒😒🙄🙄

@@UnexpectedWonder I chose not to answer your question because it was too stupid to deserve an answer. Instead I responded to the implication that you seem to think that you can get away with punching someone's skull, hard enough to do them harm, without injuring your hand, like in the movies. Honestly, saying you learn how to "street fight" is one step away from being that internet moron who says he "learns how to fight multiple attackers"

I have been thinking the same thing for a little while. Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed.

I haven't ever seen a demo in any art where the demonstrator wasn't trying to look good. That's part of the purpose of a demo. But i do see the point you're trying to make, I think.

@@lycandefensive This demo looks like children playing...

@@user-rr4sl2he8m or a beginning of a very very cheap gay p*** video

What a great guy and amazing Sifu, huh?

Definitely, I’ve learned a lot.

I am definitely a work in progress. 1% better every time, right?

Not a bad idea! I will incorporate this more in future videos. Thank you!🙏

Well, you seem to be a great teacher... I've learned techniques form your videos that work! So I just thought if you show the partner doin the moves after you teach them, it may give others confidence to try.

@@BMO_Creative thank you for the very kind words!! I really appreciate it. And, I think you're definitely on to something there!!

It's OK, buddy, as I'm not really trying to sell anything. I have said it before, I am a harbinger of different perspectives. I don't really care if you want to do this or not. My only goal was to put this out there so as to bring more light into what these guys do. I have done that. Where YOU go from here doesn't concern me, the same way as where I go from here doesn't concern you. Train hard and enjoy the journey.🙏

@@lycandefensive thanks pal!...of course I always have my mind open, and I believe if we practice hard and with heart...I want to belive things will work fine!...enjoy your practice pal!...success

@@iggiggi2 I definitely appreciate that perspective for sure!!
