OMG GUY THANK YOU SO MUCH. I watched this when it was being streamed, and 3 days ago I had to use one of these. Thank you so much, I am crying. this saved me!
Thanks Matt for your video. We practise the elbow block and thrust techiniques in our mini boxing session. It is good to know how and when these can be exercised in a life-and-death situation.
Great video. You teach more in one video than anyone else does. Usually they show what they do which don’t help you at all. Do you have a DVD course we could purchase if we can’t get a personal lesson or lessons from you
@@pasquinilli thank you. I have a black belt in AKKI kenpo and I really enjoy your videos. I also have belts in several other systems. You explain so well and cut out so much useless crap that it’s really impressive. Target Focus Training with Tim Larkin is the only other one I consider worth while
Great stuff. I have done door security and this is very good stuff. I have done a lot of martial arts and they get really flashy and they want to demonstrate that they know kali or whatever to the N-th degree. But this is just what you need without all that, just what you need to keep yourself safe. Not complicated, just what works. Thanks!
Here's a nice improvised weapon that is used by 1% bikers... Get yourself a fairly heavy padlock and a common cotton bandana... String the bandana through the shackle.. now you can swing the lock like a blackjack! .. you can keep the lock in your back pocket with the bandana through it.. grab both ends of the bandana pull the lock out and swing... If you're stopped you can always pull one into the bandana it will slip out on the lock and you will have a padlock in your back pocket completely legal..
Thank you so much! Every bit of info you said and demonstrated is on point accurate. I've been doing Taekwondo for 8 years and it's completely reversed on what you now just demonstrated. Any chance of demonstration of kicks in close quarters in self defense. Thank you my friend. 🤘🏻
Thanks Matt! Yeah, it's getting crazy out there. Your process helps resolve that issue of deciding what YOUR trigger point is, whereby you launch an attack. Looks like with hands up and warning to back up (perhaps as you step to the side), and they still press, that can be the point. On the step to the side, I can envision some (thinking panhandler types) countering by moving in front of you as soon as you side step. Or blocking your path as you are walking and minding your own business. Situational awarness seems to be under-rated, perhaps because you usually don't find out what you avoided. Yesterday we were leaving a strip mall (after using an ATM that was perhaps 75' from street/sidewalk) and noticed someone yelling and carrying on. Through the shrubbery I could see a man walking down the sidewalk, gesticulating and yelling at nobody. (My wife works in mental health, so she spots these people quickly). So, instead of using the parking lot exit that would have put my car right in the path of this guy's journey, I went to a different exit that put me well "upstream" of his path and able to left turn and be on opposite side of a 4 lane busy road from him. No idea what I missed, but I could easily envision him approaching the passenger side of the car as I was stuck waiting to pull out into traffic. Hard to fathom why we let people like this wander the streets. Feels like it is about time to start wearing kevlar or getting the car armored. Every dweeb now seems to have a gun. Two incidents in the PNW the past few weeks with road rage leading to death. One guy somehow enraged a couple of 19 YO's. Thought it was done, he went on his way. They caught up to him at next light, and shot at him. Severed his spine, now paralyzed from waist down. Other was on highway from OR coast to Portland. Couple of guys get PO'd at older couple. Finally pass, and seems it is over. However they pull over a couple miles down the road and wait with guns. Not sure if/why driver of other car got out, but he ended up shot too. Amazing senselessness. Killing over getting butt-hurt re some road situation.
My son is 3rd degree black belt tung soo Doo .. his teacher & friend Sid was out of state doing some training exhibitions.. so he did not have his Pew pew with him ... He was at a gas station pumping gas when he saw three guys closing in on him. With obvious bad intentions! (Situational awareness) .. he realized that he had his short 2 ft ecrima stick .. so he grabbed it and started to make lots of spinning martial arts motions with it... It was enough to intimidate the three guys and they walked away avoiding a confrontation... Most likely they went on to look for more weaker innocent prey
Hi Matt, thanks for the good info today. Had to get the allergy shots, sorry i couldn't make class. The flinch block i like, because with the hands opened more area is covered than a closed fist, plus with hands opened grabbing the aggressor is easier accomplished.. Also when the aggressor attacks, keeping the arms bent as you teach, then if the person grabs your arms to pull you in, it makes it more difficult for the subject. The arms bent are like shock absorbers but still able to prevent the aggressor from moving in for the attack. Where if the elbows are locked, getting pulled in is easier by the aggressor. Thanks for teaching what i didn't have knowledge of. Hope to see you tomorrow. Stay safe. God bless. Dpug.
On that first one-- FAR too much imporantance is attacked to the damn phone--- TURN THe FREAKING THING OFF til you get where it's SAFE to use it- and that is NOT in your car driving or walking around in areas where you need to see what's going on-- you don't NEED that freaking thin on all the time-- there is NOTHING so important as to give your life because you couldn't turn the damn phone off and check and call them back LATER.. Things worked JUST FINE when phones were on poles and we had to pay to dial-- people called when they could-- safely. I drove a tow truck in California for a while- and 77% of the accidents I worked-- at least ONE of them was using a freakin phone while driving. STUPID.. When you get in the car- if you're driving- TURN IT OFF til you get where you're going.
GET THOSE EAR BUDS / HEAD PHONES OFF YOUR EARS ! . So many people riding bikes jogging walking around with the stupid earbuds in their ears oblivious to everything that's going around them.. oblivious to cars coming oblivious to bicycles coming oblivious to bad criminals stalking them.. get those damn earbuds out of your ears!
I'm 5'2", a small female senior citizen. Lifting a gallon of milk is a struggle. I want moves that will stop a perp! What weapon can I use with no muscle strength?
The cane works with thrusts and very little strength. Simply putting the cane between you and the attacker with both of your hands on the cane and using your body to move the cane instead of your hands. I’ll make you a video showing those moves in more detail.

Fake lol
THANK YOU AGAIN MATT FOR A GREAT PRESENTATION......
Thanks Daniel and thank you for your generous gift!
@@pasquinilli my pleasure...I know you are working hard to create your virtual dojo....and channel...and we appreciate that .....
This is what I’ve been looking for, thanks
Yep. , This is very good training . Down to earth and honest .
Thanks Matt for your video. We practise the elbow block and thrust techiniques in our mini boxing session. It is good to know how and when these can be exercised in a life-and-death situation.
Yes! Thank you for sharing that.
Goode points Matt. Awareness wherever you are would help anticipate what's coming and escape any threat or fight fiercely if escape is not possible.
Brilliant! Thank you indeed.
Thank you Jesse!
Great video. You teach more in one video than anyone else does. Usually they show what they do which don’t help you at all. Do you have a DVD course we could purchase if we can’t get a personal lesson or lessons from you
Thanks. I don’t have a DVD anymore. But I do have over a thousand videos on this channel.

You are awesome, man. I love your teaching.
Thanks so much Anthony!

Thanks Tim!
Excellent information from situational awareness to techniques I am a retired law enforcement officer I have trained for 60 years Little Rock Arkansas
Thank you Muata! And thanks for protecting us all those years!
Good stuff, thanks. It's good to also find a practice buddy. Keep repeating defense motions on each other until they become second nature.
Thank you! Got tips specifically to seniors?

“Drop like a sack of crap” ( that he is). That gave me a chuckle but on a serious note, thanks for the sound tips.
