“I’m not looking him in the eyes. Him and I aren’t gonna make babies.” Coffee flew out of my nose on that one! 😂 Excellent teaching and sparring session. Start slow, then go harder. You don’t train to NEVER take blows. Because as he says, you are in a fight. You are inevitably GOING to take a couple of blows. The whole point is to learn blocking techniques and counter techniques to lessen the severity of the blows that you will inevitably take.
@@SlickCat Is that so. The boxers that say that are simply ham and eggers. Many top notch champion boxers were defensive fighters. Muhammad Ali. Rope-a-dope” was nothing more than Ali backing himself up on the ropes and letting his opponent punch him in the arms while blocking until they wore themselves out then Ali would escape, turn them into the ropes then pummel them. Floyd Mayweather built his entire undefeated career on defense. Backing up, letting his opponent chase him while hitting his arms. Then he would strike when they wore out. Sugar Ray Leonard started as a defensive fighter and won many many fights that way. When he decided to start doing more striking and counter striking is when he opened himself up to blows and that’s when he got his retina detached. Watch Mike Tyson’s old fights. Total defensive/blocking technique, arms and gloves close to his face to work himself in close then he gave them his devastating punch. I could go on and on about other champion fighters that were defensive fighters, but I think I made my point. Counter striking is great. But without a good defense, you!re going to take 2 to 3 blows for every successful counter punch. Boxing is called the sweet science for a reason.
during high school, a classmate of mine likes to show his dominance by punching people in the arm. One time, he targeted me and I wasn't in the mood to become a punching bag so I blocked him like shown in the vid and his fist struck my elbow. I received a bit of a shock throughout my arm but he injured his hand. He couldn't take notes that day, serves you right!

This is the incredible legacy of Paul Vunak training the Navy Seals in the early 90s. He called these Elbow Destructions from Kali. This was a part of his R.A.T. system. Now all the Seals train this. The goal is to DeFang the Snake, i.e. destroy the incoming tools.
His RAT system was amazing, it is one of the best self defense videos I have ever seen. Street safe 3 covered knife defense very well: defang the snake, take out their hands.
funny thing, the creator of SEAL Team Six, the late Richard Marcinko, says in his book that he trained with Kelly S. Worden. But it's possible Vunak did train other teams how to take down an opponent in 5 moves rather than two.
yeah, i remember those VCR tapes--sent 'em all back and Red Zone banned me for doing it. Vunak was great for teaching how to use 5 moves to slap your partner around. problem is if he has another partner while you're doing all those movies. fun fact, he claims he trained SEALS but the late Richard Marcinko who created SEAL Six mentions in his book that Marcinko trained with Kelly S. Worden to stop fighting like a brawler and use his system instead.

I love that you taught this method as secondary to avoiding the fight altogether. For those new to fighting, you can either make the gap between you and an aggressor bigger (getting away), smaller (grappling with them), or maintaining the gap by performing this type of technique. But you have to remember they can close the gap too, including chasing you if you run. If they catch you you're back to having to make a decision. Being able to maintain the gap is how you outlast an opponent that you can't run from. Sometimes you're having to protect others and this technique allows you to do that. Sometimes you have to be a runner, sometimes you have to be a fighter but most of the time you may just have to be a wall. Great video!
I seen Bill Rapier demonstrate the modified shoulder shrug method of shooting so it’s blocking any other incoming attacks besides a direct uppercut. I love the stuff you both share. And god bless.
Best initial explanation I have heard about why we initially practice slow. I was very hesitant about that “bird beak” block (thick headed old Bastid). Using the elbow or top of the head to block, thus them breaking their hand is as old as prize fighting. Spectacular move!! Using the birds beak block to set it up is genius!!! Putting that right into the training rotation & tool box!! Thanks!!
This is the kind of thing people need to learn. Everyone thinks having a gun makes them safe, but as you have shown in some videos you don't always have it, or the time to grab it.
a simple box cutter in your pocket could save your life if someone trying to rob you puts you in a neck choke hold you just slit his arm out with box cutter and he will let it go and give you time to run away!
@@joel-em8zp True, but if I did end up on a choke hold there are other things that can be done. Ways to strike would depend on lots of things. I might hit him in the gut and take this breath away with an elbow. I might grab his hair if he has it and control his head. I could stick my fingers up his nose, claw his eyes out. Sometimes if a person is able you can slip out of a choke hold if you move fast enough. So many things are quicker then trying to get a weapon out and use it. Some of those moves could give me time to get it out for protection. Even jabbing my thumb up under his chin can help.
@@coffeelover1763 I’m talking for self experience and I’m a small guy 150 5’ 6” with some small boxing experience in the past…..the dude that tryed to robbed me was a lot bigger!
Keep the videos coming ! Most people focus so much on guns for self defense they tend to leave out hand to hand combat . This honestly should be taught first .
I think it is great that you took the time to explain to "those" people about that won't work, they won't just stand there and so on. The biggest issue with those type of people is most are couch commandos, and they don't need to train because they are so awesome and skilled naturally. I used to try to explain but it is like talking to the wall. But kudos for your attempt.
Thank you sir for explaining everything including the context of your video, it’s to train and prepare. A fight is better to be avoided but sometimes you just gotta fight. I agree with most of the comments that I read. You have a very intelligent following.
Back in the day when I was in training of the arts we weren't taught this because we were to step aside and then gain control of the arm. But this is also some fantastic tactics as well! Great video brother 👍
That’s also how I was taught. Step to the outside while redirecting and following up with an attack. I don’t want to stand in front of him where he can hit me, the “kill zone” as it were. There’s more to it, but that’s the gist.
This looks very effective to me and much easier than traditional blocking as in martial arts. Looks like it would work well in the chaos of an actual fight.
Another piece to add to the arsenal ,kicks are great too and take downs ,u don't have to be an expert but know some things and perfect them in time ,also using pereferal vision is right, allows u to see more of what's going on ,not just in fights but in your daily life , keeps u sharp ,you never know when things happen .
Loved this video man, great advice. I was jumped by a group of 10 guys 18-24yr old, anyways I knew this technique and it saved me enough to have an opportunity I needed to use some other skills enough to walk away without injury. To myself or them
That block on the lead hook works reasonably well if you have enough experience, even then some will slip through, especially if your opponent is wearing 4oz or bare knuckle. Prefer to fade or roll under hooks if possible.
"But theyll hit my arm and it hurts". This is where i mentally face palm and resign myself to explaining why it better then getting hit in the face. Now if i had a dollar for everytime someone told me that...
Very true , regardless of what you do , you are going to get hit in a fight. I’ve been in a few fights in my life and even blocking hits , it still hurts and punching someone in the jaw like they do in the movies is a great way to break your knuckles. The best fight is the one you don’t have and the best self defence moves is using your legs, because with the legs you can run away. The only time one fights is when you have no other option and have do so in order to defend yourself and someone else.
Love this. I was taught similar technique against knife ... for certain attacks, guide the attacker's knife hand into your elbow. Results in a simultaneous disarm and breaks the attacker's hand. Yep... likely you'll get a cut on your arm. But hopefully it's the only cut you'll get. Takes a lot of reps with a rubber knife and your partner... be careful.
Interesting video, I've trained in KM for15 years. I like my first move to be a step back out of attackers range. Thanks, forgot stuff I learned long ago.
Another amazing video. This will likely go over most people's heads, & that's ok. But I have learned more about training & myself in the last 5 days from Mr. Pike than I have learned in at least the last 20 years by normal living & from other people. I truly want to say thank you to Mr. Pike for the instruction & direction. I'm nowhere near where I need to be, but I've stopped quiting & making excuses. A lot of looking in the mirror has not been pleasant. But at least I've started looking in the mirror. Thanks for the video Mr. Pike.
Beautiful instructions! But LMAO when someone says anything derogative about any Navy Seal! 😂😂! I once new a guy that when he had to fight,that's all he used,elbows and forearms! Thank you sir first of all for your Service to our Country,& second I'm glad we're on the same side! MLH&R for all who served our country!

Great explanation of the basic elbow destruction found in FMA (dirty boxing). Totally agree with monitoring the shoulder/chest area. Good video.

Looks like some 52blocks, great explanation and breakdown of techniques.
Blocking with my elbow like that is something I've been doing for years in muay thai. Love it
A lot of the older arts did this. i encountered this block in Sanda, as a block that traveled down from Shaolin styles. it's so effective
I don’t even consider myself a fighter but that’s what feels natural to me to do, I feel like more people should be taught this! Good comment 👏
Also we train in Muay Boran with elbow block
You also block the low centerline.
Great stuff! Thanks 🙏
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Great video.
I like the way you explain this. Keep it simple. Basic Fundamentals.
please give us more hand to hand stuff, this is highly educational! Very good and clear explanation with visual examples, keep up the good work.
Consider finding Paul Vunak's original Rapid Assault Tactics video it likely inspired the above. Paul Vunak created the RAT system for Navy Seals.
