      GSP has my respect but that knife advice is terrible and will get you killed. For a knife you force distance and remove your shirt and span it between your hands. Then let the attacker swing. Block the blade with the shirt pulled taut. Eventually it'll tangle in the shirt and they either release it or sacrifice control of an arm.

    • @burts6896
      @burts6896 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

      Saying that "The minute you touch me, you are declaring war", taken literally, is terrible advice. It flies in the face of how the world works. Simply touching someone can mean a lot of things. Responding to a touch with a non-proportional response is generally unwise. Is it wise to escalate? As a general rule, no. The other person may have a range of intentions. Example #1: a drunk person bumps into you on accident. Intention to fight: unlikely. Example 2: dude pushes his finger into your sternum. Intention to intimidate or fight: high.
      Now, if your intuition says you are about to get attacked, you can choose step away. Do that. Don't try to diffuse a boiling situation with words -- by the time emotions have got that hot, they don't cool down easily. Rationality is probably a lost cause. Trying to diffuse the situation only with words is risky. Step back, use body language to show you aren't a threat. Be the wiser person. Your anger and ego might not like these non-violent options, but the violent outcomes tend to be worse, even if you "win".

      ​@@sepg5084 Reasonable people can see the context differently. Sure, I get his general gist, which is: use the element of surprise and don't hold back. But he doesn't discuss the consequences of fighting (winning or losing) nor alternatives to the Krav Maga style eye and groan strikes. A video of this length can't cover much, I get it. Still, I find this one somewhat irresponsible. I think Lex could have done better in editing. This is not his first rodeo.

Was completely outnumbered, had something to prove. Did well, they couldn’t fight all that well and I managed to stay up. That’s when one of them pulled a knife. By gods grace I have no idea how - maybe due to the sheer amount of adrenaline I managed to fight him off without getting harmed. After, I felt like such a strong man and was so proud of myself. Now I look back and I’m embarrassed, it could’ve gone so fucking wrong so easily and I would’ve left the love of my life bleeding out on the pavement whilst she cried.

      The part of the video about going for the eyes so quickly was not persuasive nor useful. First, avoiding a fight is preferable. Second, the context and environment is key. Sure, there are times when you "fight for your life", but this is not *all the time*. Where in the video does GSP talk about the context? Nuance is not something that GSP communicates well here in this video.

The key for this info to be helpful to the average person watching this video is to ‘study/practice/memorize’ it. That’s when the information becomes MOST valuable.

    So much of fighting is muscle memory and practice. Anytime you ever listen to someone teach self-defense, listen closely. You'll hear a lot of: if the opponent does this, then you do this. In a real life fight situation, you don't have time to think through that stuff. What GSP shows here is a mastery of joint locks, striking, and other offensive techniques that comes from years if not decades of practice. He's right about a lot of core principles: 1) don't fight fair. There's no ref, so strike the groin, the eyes, the neck, the soft spots where you can inflict maximum damage. In a fight for your life, you fight dirty. 2) Avoid fighting weapons, especially blades. You will get cut. It's a matter of who gets it worse, you or the bad guy. Avoid if at all possible. 3) If you can't avoid, put yourself in a position to win. Strike quickly and leave.
    Anyway, loved the video. I'm always a fan of GSP, and a fan of the insights you get when you interview. (10 month "late" comment for the algorithm)

    Not only the element of surprise but also how to set up your target by understanding body mechanics, by blocking either from your left or right to make sure your target doesn't hit back and at the same time attacking the eye. For example some blocks that you do will naturally make the target to attack back. As you can see in this illustration that Lex Friedman's left hand will find it hard to throw a punch.

      If you do have a firearm, keep it hidden and don't draw it until they approach you directly with a weapon. You're best off to keep it hidden and just hint at it's existence by putting your hand in your jacket, etc. It's all psychological. Unless of course you want your children to get charged with manslaughter for shooting an unarmed man. Even if they WERE going to get in a fist fight, there's no proof of that without a weapon and the ends don't justify the means.
      This obsession with the firearm really has caused a lot of hubris, idiocy and tens of thousands of kids of prison for years on end who took another persons life out of what they culturally were taught was fine to do - to take another mans life because he was having a bad day and started screaming at you.
      Ask any public defense attorney and they'll tell you where giving an 18 year a weapon will get them. Sorry to disrupt your previously held belief that taking another mans life is legal and just dandy, because they're the "other".
      You'll also see your child sued into abject poverty by the person they shot, or the family of the victim. (They became the victim, of course, because you made it that way instead of just teaching your child to run away from unarmed assailants instead of reaching for a firearm.) They won't be as lucky as a police officer who can just claim he saw him reaching for a knife but it was just a cell phone.

    2 big difference between street fight and MMA:
    - Potential presence of weapons (knife, beer bottle, piece of rock, anything other than bare fist)
    - Multiple opponents
    If the fight is fair, and the above 2 are not an issue, then it is largely the same as in the octagon. Otherwise it is about keeping distance, keep all opponents on the same direction, and leave the scene as soon as possible. Krav-maga is really good at these.
    As for fighting style, avoid kicks, as it can easily backfire. Maybe push kick to create distance. Boxing is effective there. Avoid going down, but most street fight end up on the ground anyway, so knowing BJJ is essential.

    upper cut with good leverage from your hips to the liver is a great go to technique. ALWAYS upper cut because that trajectory will kinda get around their ribcage if you throw a straight their ribcage will protect it a little bit

    To hit first is great advice when you're in a situation where you can't escape and see no other outcome than to fight and defend yourself, why let the other person get the upper hand by waiting for them to hit first.. I've actually had to follow this advice growing up and it has helped me in the situation more so than running and having the problem return all the time.. But one thing is for sure, teachers doesn't care mostly, so if you defended yourself you'll most likely end up as the one starting the whole thing even if you wanted no part of it.
    Here in Norway it's also not allowed to use more than necessary force to defend yourself against a threat. So if someone is trying to hit you with their fists then you can't use a weapon against them, or if someone runs at you with a knife you wouldn't be allowed to shoot them, you'd have to use equal force and you can't just hit first, even if you know you're going to get attacked at any moment. You could risk getting punished for using more force than necessary to defend yourself, I kind of understand that for some stuff.. But Jesus, they've made it challenging with how those laws works here, so much so that my girlfriend's little brother got put in prison for hitting someone back when defending himself, reason being is that some of his drunk friends decided they wanted to jump the guy afterwards even when my girlfriend's brother wasn't even involved in the whole thing anymore.

    All of this goes out the window if you can’t remain cool under pressure. The most important thing would be training yourself to remain calm but also knowing these things. Big thanks to lex and the Powerful GSP!!

      @ACarter87 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Ah yes master Ryan, we must always remain calm when a random drunk smashes a bottle over our heads or sucker punches us for no reason…
      Can’t let that make us excited or we won’t win the fight
      Just amazing advice master 🙄

    • @serpentinefire921
      @serpentinefire921 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well that's what training is for jerk. You know what prepares one for being calm while being punched in the face? Getting punched in the face. Muscle memory doesn't leave you just because you're not calm. I can't even remove the top of a bottle and take a drink from it without bringing my other hand holding the cap up to the side of my head. That muscle memory won't allow me to. Stress doesn't make you forget how to breathe or move or pump blood. You don't learn how to fight. You train your body to fight.

      @higherpurpose1212 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Learning martial arts and being confident with your abilities will help you be calm and defuse the situation, BUT not if you get physically abused or hit. I was so patient but I got assaulted while trying to explain myself, so can't do anything about it but to give it to him, the power of takedown and BJJ, lol.
