Yes mate Ryan’s a real one for being the meat puppet!

Nice one mate! Happy you got something out of it!

Cheers mate appreciate it!

Yeah I get you mate. I've got T rex arms and it wouldn't be one of my go to techniques. I've got a couple clients who are big guys with long arms. And because of all that torque with long arms it works really well for them. One of them used to just to calm down a drunk guy. He didn't do a choke just a seatbelt position.

@AlphaUrbanKravMaga Hey thanks for the response. That's a good point. Unassuming drunk women are the prime target for this technique. I'm not a huge guy and it will never work on me or anyone halfway capable of fighting. I taught this move for nearly a decade until I realized from pressure testing it was nonsense. You know what takes its place beautifully though? Arm drags. That actually works against huge dudes even in pressure testing.

As an instructor I compartmentalise what works for me and what works for an individual that works with me. Because everyone comes in different shapes and sizes. So a technique that works really well for a bigger person with certain physical attributes may not work for a smaller person. And vice versa. The arm drags are good. And if the guy pulls arm out you can transition to the single leg takedown. An underrated technique for a smaller person is a good old elbow strike to the solar plexus. My chief instructor Stewart always tells of the time of how a small girl at his karate class sent a bigger guy to A and E. She accidentally caught him with an elbow to the solar plexus when he dropped the kick shield.

Beat me to it

Yep you got me. It's BJJ. There's nothing new about what I teach. This stuff been done for 1000's of years. The whole point of a system like Krav is you can pick and choose what works. Without being restrained by a system or style.

@@AlphaUrbanKravMaga I like that approach. My school has the same mentality. Draws from the highest percentage techniques but has no particular style name.

@@AlphaUrbanKravMaga You're like a white belt in BJJ? Be honest.

@@claycowartisamazing 😂

Ah look it's my favourite fan! It’s a bit weird you pooped yourself watching my video though.

@ you’re my favourite ninja pajeet 🥷🏻😂…seriously though these are terrible and belong in the McDojo archives. Keep training though. 💪✌️🇹🇭🇯🇵🇧🇷🥋🥊💯

I got to say I'm really loving that you love my content so much. But let's see what you got. Now don't be sending me that grainy clip with you fighting in a long lost MMA promotion. Because I know that's not you. Unless you're the kung fu guy getting beat up. That's make sense. Upload a clip of you in the last week or so training. Upload up on this profile you're answering on. Let the world see what you got.

@@AlphaUrbanKravMaga …just send me your gyms location, I’ll be down, next year, I’m around London area quite a bit, done many a no gi drop in. 3 stripe blue in jits black in Judo and we’re probably about the same age (48) I’ll bring ID and sign any waiver as per on drop in.

@@AlphaUrbanKravMaga send location.

Thanks mate, I appreciate it. Yeah I've got more ideas. These kind of series seem to be popular. Next year I'll get on it. Catch wrestling is devastating. I'm familiar with some of techniques like face bars, cross faces, heel hooks I'm no expert . My chief instructor is Leo Negao and he incorporates a lot of catch wrestling and techniques principles in our grappling.

Cheers bro!

Cheers mate. Need to redo these again. Didn’t realise people were still watching ones over 4 years old!

@AlphaUrbanKravMaga still good. Looking forward to the updates.

No worries mate. Need to redo these again with more details.

@AlphaUrbanKravMaga i am waiting. Will subscribe

Osss

Yes mate I’m under Stewart McGill and Leo Negao. Still train with Stewart on the regular.

@@AlphaUrbanKravMaga brilliant! Great guy. Trained with him in Lincoln a few years ago.

Anytime time mate. Glad you got good value from it.

Yeah so was I back in the day! Ryan is a good demonstration partner.

Yeah you’ve got to be fast with. Helps if you have good strong legs as well for that explosive power. Personally I now prefer to teach the single leg takedown to most people. It doesn’t strength to pull off. Just technique to manipulate the 2 weak points in the leg. It’s one of my latest videos.

Fair enough. Thanks for the views.

Shout to you mate...with your dead gaming channel...zero evidence of your training...my mind starting to wonder...maybe you should post up some footage of your training.

@@AlphaUrbanKravMaga 🤣 not trying to promote a TH-cam channel like yourself. I could also throw insults like yourself too, did post before but it got deleted 🤔🙄 not trying to ruin your livelihood brother hence the selective wording

I am a nefarious champions league hater and if you come for me I respond in kind. But. I've just seen your original response and I don't know why TH-cam deleted it. There was nothing wrong with it. I accept it. It's all good. No animosity. Let's move on.

Yes mate that's a fair question. And yes I have. I'm not going to bait myself out in public. I've had 2 of my clients use the side kick to the knee. More recently one of my clients used it against outside London Bridge station someone tried to grab his phone. If you google urban Krav Maga student experiences. And under the guard the coffees there's example of a student under our organisation using some of the techniques I've showed. I'll have to do my own blog post with clients using my techniques. So thanks for this comment.

@G3RRY-nz9ou this is 3rd time I’ve seen you post on my videos. And I do appreciate you giving your time to elevate the algorithm. I see you have loads of videos on your channel of your training. So if you’re going to take the mickey, show me what you’d do. Feel free to tag me.

@@AlphaUrbanKravMaga I can groin strike too but I won’t, I’ll just take you down and sub you in under 5 mins… 100% confirmation, you don’t even know how to apply keza gatame correctly. (Scarf hold is head and arm). I’m not taking the mickey, you’re delusional and seem only to have a kernel of knowledge and look in terrible shape. Feel free to LARP all you want but you have no business teaching fighting. I’m 25 years doing this.

@@AlphaUrbanKravMaga When fantasy meets reality. Happy larping. Dojo storm inbound! OSS😂🥷🏻🥋🤼‍♀️🥊❤️

Yes mate. I’m not the biggest or tallest guy either, so nice to see it’s getting to the right people.

Just be careful when practicing them!

@AlphaUrbanKravMaga Of course, that's a no brainer isn't it.

would elbow blocks work? like dustin poirer guard, or the 52 something prisoner guards? fuck their hands up

First of all you're not blindly charging in. You're strategically moving inside the wild swinging arc of the punches. Taking away the maximum power and range of the punches whilst keeping yourself in balance. If you has you've said "had extensive combat training experience with real violence" you'll know real violence is not a consential exchange of violence where you tap gloves and then spar. Violence happens in an instant. In this scenario there's usuall some dialogue before the caveman brain dump which usually leads to impediments of speech and then thier swinging wildly. When someone's swinging wildly you need to close the distance to take away the power of the end of the fists. The elbow cover comes straight from Muay Thai. I had client who used this when someone aggressively swung a few punches at him outside a night club. He covered drove 3 points of the elbow aggressively into the guys face leaving him flat on the ground. If you're shorter guy impact into sternum can also be enough on it's own to finish the fight. It's not a hook to the neck. I explicitly explained that in the video. It's a reverse slap to the facial structure. The jaw and face has a lots nerve endings and moving parts which allow you to control the top of the head.

@lesnacke You can use the O’Neill cover. I show this variation right at the end of the video. Will do another in the future breaking down this guard a bit more.

Yeah mate, I’ll do one in that scenario. Check this one out in the meantime th-cam.com/video/sfQDroUkBls/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RHnPXkZfRgpKYCOD And I’ll do a more detailed one soon.

Mate thank you so much. I really appreciate the positive vibes. I’m the glad the video is of use in scaring off your bully. Check out the strike to the sternum video, that’s a good place to start against a bigger stronger guy.

Osss!

Thanks for your comment mate, your response was respectful. So first off I prefer the big overhand right. I’m 5’3 and have T rex arms and it works for me. If you look on Instagram for a page called usf.fc and look at a post on the 9.6.24 there’s a great example of a smaller guy using the big overhand right against a bigger taller guy. Alternatively you can also use a reverse slap or a right cross to the bladder. I’ll do a more detailed video on how to set up the oblique kick and how you can train it for maximum impact in a confined space. Subscribe and I’ll get it done sometime this week.

I hear you mate. But I’ve had it done to me and when the guy comes at you aggressively and starts pushing you it’s very difficult to create distance. That’s why the overhand right is very hard powerful. It gives the guy something to think about up top as you aim for the oblique kick down to the knee. You can create a lot of power with the oblique kick in a close quarter confined space. I’ll do another video on this next week some point, showing you how to do it. There was client in our system who used a variation of this technique and the knee went on the bad guy went quickly. He didn’t even have to do the choke. If you watch the whole video at about 2:20 I do stick a choke on. You can do it the way you said. That’ll also work but for me I prefer it the way I do it.

@@AlphaUrbanKravMaga But its not even a real overhand, you have no power and you don't really come over the top, its like a long hook. Your way of doing it seems a lot less safe for the defended

Ohh I don’t know about that mate. With a user name like yours I might have to report you to the online police.

@@AlphaUrbanKravMaga If that's your security blanket, Snitch Sanderson.

Ok so the overhand right is a setup. As you know having trained in Krav or any in grappling sport you always try and set up your takedowns. Otherwise your opponent will read what you’re going for. In this case the over hand right isn’t necessarily meant to damage. Most people will instinctively block it allowing you the space and to timing to aim the oblique kick to the knees, breaking his balance and allowing you to stick on the choke. As an added bonus you get some stopping power with the strike as well. The oblique kick is very powerful as against a bigger, heavier guy because they’ve got all that extra weight on the joints. I’ve had a 2 clients personally use it in real life and it takes out the knee quickly.

@@AlphaUrbanKravMaga So your using it as a faint or a setup. Makes better sense now. The rest of the technique ai liked. Just wasn’t sure where you were going with the throw a huge overhand right thing. Gotcha.

Yeah I should have made that clearer in the video. It’s good feedback for next time. So thanks for that. And your question was a genuine one, so I’ve tried to answer it respectfully.

A very constructive response mate. Adding a lot to society.

Any reason why we should YOU seriously?

The only thing that’s foolish is your username and pic.

@@AlphaUrbanKravMaga Lmafo so you didn’t disagree with my statement 😂😂

And that’s a bad because? There’s a reason the old techniques and training methods have survived for a reason.

@AlphaUrbanKravMaga your training against a guy standing there like people do in karate. No one does karate any more because training like that doesn't work.

Like any self defence choke like a guillotine, you can't let the guy put it on you’re done for. Once it’s on, especially if it’s a bigger guy, it’s on. Part of any self defence training is learning to recognise the patterns of attack and train your responses to react rapidly and explosively. Getting some purchase on the wrist and releasing the shoulder gives you a tiny momentary release against the choke. Just enough so you can breathe. Which is why it looks like the v isn’t on properly. If you move quickly and explosively using your feet and hips with exercise I showed you, can move into a close quarter grappling position. And you’ll have no issues with spinal damage. You’ve still got work to do there but you’re in a much better position than being choked.

@@AlphaUrbanKravMaga why are you trying to explain something wrong to someone who obviously is in touch with real fighting? I suspect cognitive dissonance. It's like when you show a christian it's silly to believe in magic, and they try to explain magic to you like it's fact. The old world of fat dummies teaching karate and fake self defense and conning ignorant people is going away. You may want to get a real wrestler or grappler in the gym teaching instead of someone who has shown they don't spar enough.

Yeah you’re right mate. @FentonMulley-cz8pv as someone like yourself who as you say “who obviously is in touch with real fighting”. Perhaps YOU could enlighten me with your solution? Not a written essay in the comments but an actual video on your TH-cam channel. Your channel with 0 videos and 1 subscriber is very underrated btw. You need to be putting out more content mate.

@@AlphaUrbanKravMaga it says alpha on the profile. Why are you talking like a teenage girl? I have taught since 09 and the reason I comment on videos like this is because I've seen spinal injuries happen in tournaments. It's easy to do these videos and make it appear like the technique works. The reality of the position is much more detailed. My main critique of your strategy is that you think force into the person will help. You need to separate to move freely. If the position is loose and there isn't much friction that movement is fine. But the way you were positioned there is no way you are moving like that against a live opponent. With the heights of you two and the posture you would have had more success squatting and doing a shoulder throw. No space - throw. Space- turn in underhook. Test it out and make a video. Also "alpha" in the business title is a big mcdojo red flag.

@FentonMulley-cz8pv No. That’s too much mucking about when a bigger guy sticks it on. If you want to do it your way and break down the details I’ve missed, do it. Make the world a better place by casting away my McDojo ways and film your own response. Never know. Might learn something from your experience of teaching since 09 and real fighting experience.
