I trained in martial arts daily since I was 13 years old, and I still practice today at age 65. I was trained to be a warrior. I started off in the traditional Kobra Kai philosophy of "NO MERCY." As I got older, I learned the value of strength through being gentle and soft. A truly strong man is gentle. Only when there is no choice would I be aggressive. Much love to Professor David and Shihan Kenny
I've trained under some good people. You are legit brother, Love your videos. Need more guys like you out there teaching. Fight smart! defuse it, do not agrovate the situation or you're dead if hes got a hidden blade. Locked up if you get it wrong and go crazy. Be passive in your reaction unless you have to defend.💯🙏🇬🇧
My guy that’s an attorney taught me how to talk with the hands with regard to backing up and holding up your hands in a non threatening position he says it speaks to the jury as to whom was the aggressor in the situation so to this I agree totally Great job sir🫡
Your video somehow came across my feed. So I start watching it and I understand what you are saying. I'm 63 trained half my life in multiple styles. I agree with you 100% always pull back and manipulate the situation to your advantage.
Thank you so very much Professor James, I trained under Aaron Banks GoJu-Ryu, he was a wonderful man, and just like you he was very street centrist, he focused on defending yourself on the street. Unfortunately he passed away in 2004. You remind me so much of him. I would love buying your book, God bless you and everyone in your school who help's the everyday person defend themselves from all those crazies out there.
@@JoseGonzalez-gg6rs So very true I had a chance to visit he's last resting place in the Bronx and pay my respects. I was a student of he's for a little over a year, but I learned so much in that time, and with the help of TH-cam I learned all of the rest of the katas up till black belt, cause sensie Banks always emphasized that the art is in the katas"you do them as their supposed to be done " he's words.
Walk away if you can. However, you have the right to defend yourself if someone invades your personal space. KISS: keep it smart simple. I don’t have time to learn a million different kicks and complicated moves. Thank you coach.
I practice Shotokan for years now and what you are saying is a good complement to my practice. You are Totally right. This subject is never discussed by our teacher/sensei. We are very good atheletes, we respect the old masters and the discipline, we are strong and focus but we MUST'NT be crazy ! We MUST learn to Master our emotions ! Sad that I can not go to your gym. I live too far. Cheers. ;)
I really like and value this content. It is really interesting and should be shared with your friends and family. It is that good. Share the care and love. Txs
I trained under Ed Parker father founder of American Kenpo karate back in the 60s. I am now 77 years old and after watching these videos my interest is peaked once again. Thanks for the great information I’ll be a regular follower from now on.
I have trained in other schools, but I haven't gotten the information right, and I have been following your videos, I am learning a lot more, and I from you and I respect you in your techniques then the 2 schools

I love the videos! I don’t have balls of Steele but I’m getting smarter watching your videos. I’m understanding from you that your brain is your greatest weapon. Keep up the great work!
Motion Causes Motion = Cause & Effect. These very principles stated by Prof. David have been around for 1000's of years. He is applying them in layman's terms for our better understanding in their relevancy to differing applications in self preservation. Once again, the Professor and Ken showcase their advanced wisdom as this comprehension and dissection takes much thought to discern and thus create a teachable moment. Appreciate and revel in their imparting of knowledge, for the message IS the lesson.. Spread the word. Ous.
That is propably the most important lesson in combat. In my 7e grade of highschool a green belt in bjj was teaching a whole class of future safetyguys how to get in to knife attacks and how even to take over a gun. It looked really stupid howmany steps he was taking to manage that position. I asked my self what is worth risking your life so bad? Is it worth being the big hero against a weapon? NO is a clear answer to that. And learn to sell it says a lot about fight IQ. Why only 25k watches this. Idiots giving deadly advise be the hero when overpowered should be banned from teaching on any ocassion. Respect
My Uncle & Cuzin taught me the same principles when they came home from Nam, Your reminder is a great benefit, Btw,,, they were from Brooklyn as well, i grew up in Spanish Harlem Thank You
Definitely Kung Fu Sansu techniques in there. New subscriber. Ty. What is your background in, besides just street fighting, if not too personal? Im a Moron. Says Jujitsu in the title. Lol
DAMN RIGHT....THEY TALK ABOUT BLACKO ON BLACK CRIME AND NEVER TALK ABOUT ANGER MANAGEMENT, EVER! THAT IS WHY WE DIE FROM HEART DISEASE CAUSE WE NEVER DEAL WITH ISSUE AND DONT KNOW HOW.
Bang I gotcha ❤❤❤❤Love these videos guys but other than watching these videos how do I practice do you have some suggestions on certain equipment or a way for one person to practice
Find a good instructor, Get yourself a dummy for practical moves. Practice Safely with someone you trust, a good friend who shares your love for combat.💪🙏🇬🇧
Don't let your ego put you in a grave or a prison cell
Professor is correct , STAY HUMBLE
I know people in both situations. They were attacked, they were not the aggressor, but they were the ones that either ended up dead or imprisoned.

Much love to Professor David and Shihan Kenny
I been watching you , for a year . And what I learned is extremely good .
I want to say thank you for the truth about learning how to not advance but wait on him.
Meekness is not weakness. It is strength under control. Your lesson is a perfect example of this.
It's art of war "when weak, act strong, when strong, act weak"
I've trained under some good people. You are legit brother, Love your videos. Need more guys like you out there teaching.

yeah but how can I use those strikes if I am very short 5"2, do you have some kind of advices how to defend yourself against taller attacker
I would be interested in your book as well.....
Good video wit legit insight.👍🥋
The snake seeks the eye of the bird, and in that moment of looking each excepts the role of predator and prey . A proverb. I like your presentation.

good lesson, it is also said in the art of war...
Beautiful thoughtfulness, BAM.
Good Advice! Thank You, Sir!
One of the most dangerous men I know, gets his hands up fast, and backs off slow… stay safe out there
Professor David is the real I take away something from everyone of his videos
Some of the best instructional teaching I have heard in years!!
I need to move to Brooklyn!
Excellent video!
New subscriber.
Thanks again Friend ROCK ON

I have learnt something today thank you
Think of your defense after the fight that come to you that you did not start but finished !...
Thank you for imparting your knowledge.
I watched you and Professor Vee train as a kid.
Thank You Always...GOD Bless...😊

That was a great video!
This guy can put his food order in at the drive thru intercom when he's still 10 miles away from the restaurant.
When I was a younger, and after years of training, I can't go first, your right, 9 times was going to jail, self defense kept me from going...
Thank you sir for the great content
Great stuff.
Thanks!
You are the real deal
Great content
Thank you.
Great advice, sir-

Acting is self-defense, yes.
DAMN RIGHT....THEY TALK ABOUT BLACKO ON BLACK CRIME AND NEVER TALK ABOUT ANGER MANAGEMENT, EVER! THAT IS WHY WE DIE FROM HEART DISEASE CAUSE WE NEVER DEAL WITH ISSUE AND DONT KNOW HOW.
Damn right ... being killed by our own anger ... and for some, not even realizing.
That's the problem.....everybody got too much pride to sell it. Even if it is a strategy
I want to come to your school, where are you located at in the USA?
GOLD!!

Do you do seminars in other states ?
Hi Chris, thanks for supporting our channel. You can contact us at livefitstaysafe@gmail.com regarding seminars. Professor David
If I only had you teaching me, when I was younger.
04:14 Kenny’s face when you didn’t let him grab the gun.
This guy reminds me of my drill instructor from way back.
"Master your emotion"
No, that's not what he said. It was more like:"MAASTER YO EMOTION!!!"
We like videos It's just kinda hard to enjoy if you're screaming in everyone I lose interest with the screaming. Yes you are a good teacher
