Yeah, so the one way you can distinguish the McDojo's from the guys who know w.t.f they're talking about is when they tell you, you will probably get stabbed anyway. It's pretty much inevitable, the difference is whether you're going to hospital or the morgue afterward.
Pretty true , we see similar in Kalah and good combatives, the reality of the active attacker , knife plus the grab and immobilise the arm from pumping and retracting ,. Close hand knife control like Baraw Sugbo helps when things go wrong but gross motorskills and keeo simple and repetitive helps in real situations.. I have had two knife attacks one when I was 19 , I had Jui jitsu and Karate trained 9 years but my Dad was military , what he taight me saved me ..I had deep cuts to my left fingers , the little finger nearly severed but I walked away or moreover run off , the second was less agressive , I had alot more training , adding Kali , Baraw Sugbo , I was working doors in my 30s.. A laceration near the belly button but controlled the situation , so yes , we may get cut and not even feel it but we get a chance to walk away ..
That resonated with me as well. That applies to physical interactions as well as verbal/interpersonal interactions. If you can't walk away and leave - the first option - then taking the initiative, being proactive, allows you to take control of the situation so things work out for your benefit. Great advice.
Nice video, absolutely a legit way to defend. i just want to share with you that i was attacked with a broken bottle in spain at a bar. It went very quickly from a guy trying to make a group of friends give him money, to him taking my bottle, smashing it and him attacking me with it. When he attacked he stabbed twice. I blocked both of them with a raised knee both stabs going in my shin muscle. With the same leg, i push kicked him away, he fell, and i did too. I tried to get up but couldnt stand, i kicked him somehow from the floor and did a few other things that i dont remember before it was broken up by people in the bar. we were both taken to hospital. I had 58 stitches in my leg but im still here. My background was shotokan karate and muay thai. I believe it was the instincts and an understanding of distance that saved me that day. You cant plan, you cant really prevent it, but you can develop instincts to minimise it. Stay safe people.
The explanation in copious details is super valuable and one way or the other, you might just get cut in a knife battle, but how you minimize the damage is up to you. Plus you can't think about it, but be on survival mode and as a security officer for 14 years, I've been attacked with a knife twice, but manage to be safe. This instructor in all honesty is straight up open to us all about the true reality of urban combats on the streets. In closing, there are no rules on the streets....Period!!
I would love to train with you guys man! You could have a world wide training academy trust me people would be flocking to your schools. It’s a scary world and people NEED to know how to defend themselves in a realistic way
Excellent....... Beautiful.... Simple and brutal. This is everything. Nobody stresses the IMPORTANCE of attacking with CONSTANT FORWARD PRESSURE WHILE grabbing the arm wielding the knife like you and Damian Ross do. And what others teach puts people' s lives in danger😢😢😢😢
I'm doing krav maga for the last 4 years. I like these videos. it gives me an opportunity to visualize a "real time" scenario with an explosive technic and other combative/defense variants. Nice job!
You are awesome mate. Thank you so much for your realistic approach. As a person living in Melbourne Australia where we are experiencing violent home invasion from teenagers. It is good to get some realistic advice on how to protect myself. Thank you so so much
Damn Michiel some really great stuff. I love the intensity and commitment to the simulation makes it very real without really getting stabbed. If Lee is Obi Wan then you are fuking Luke! The apple does not fall far from the tree Lee must be proud!
Thanks UCN very informative and well applied approach ; long ago when I sparred with a colleague we couldn’t tell each other how we would attack ; hope to see more and get more insight 👍🏻
I've been training with weapons, all manner, disarming, teaching, and the first thing i say is run. If you cant you are likely to get cuts, if theyre waving a knife around frantically, but its better the hands than other places, now i like to just talk them down, sometimes they wont, so distract, and get that wrist tight no messing about, theres ways, break their wrist whilst sweeping their leg, a number of ways, that is the safest in my opinion. Then you come to stabbing motions, an average person with a knife is only using that, you are using everything, low front kicks to keep them at bay, you can just knock them out, but it depends on each scenario is different, me i teach if they lunge you go with them, the whole idea is to either knock them out or get that arm tight, and go from there, you can elbow whilst doing a fluidic motion and sweep them whilst pulling them down, and snap the wrist then make sure they are not conscious. The you come to the last type, me for example, if theyre holding the knife not facing you but instead in reverse, with the blade pointing down, and their fist just like a boxing stance, they can punch, they can come at you from a variety of angles, fluidically slashing then stabbing, also it's much more difficult to get the knife, if they take up a boxin stance this way, with the knife, blade pounting down their forearm, very calm just no emotion, they likely have some training, and thats a whole different thing.
Bonjour Excellente défense contre une attaque pointée au couteau lorsque nous sommes acculés contre un mur . Je vais la mettre en pratique lors de nos entraînements. Merci 🙏
Your channel is great stuff...realistic self defense is control the agressor and quickly answer agression with more agression... great work..highly recommended... goed bezig...schitterend werk...groeten vanuit Antwerpen
Extremely realistic. I want to use the same techniques and to teach true to life. Does anyone know where to get that huge groin pad for utilizing realistic groin shots?
That's looks real life stuff ... amazing just to watch even we known u can end up with lots of injuryes after an attack like that but good to learn from proffesionals like this. Wish I could learn from u guys amazing !!!! 😀
Excellent Information, the only realistic combat vids on TH-cam. Side note I had LVH a few years ago, my breathing sounded just like yours does. Get it checked mate... High blood rbc and hct can fuck a heart up big time
@@schoolofselfprotection its mostly athletes who get LVH so its no indication of bad health, heart just becomes too muscular. Its in later life that it becomes an issue or if dehydrated or too much sodium in the diet. Anyway keep up the excellent vids.
Dude, same here! Krav black belt and trained for 7 years now and I would swap it for 1 year with this guy. Check out lee Morrison if you can. The Sensei of the Sensei.
@@KimiMD absolutely, were on the same page. I only came to that conclusion when I tested the techniques in full on, non compliant training outside of class with a small group of guys at the back of a church lol. We reworked it and it was simular to what's been shown here. You have to stop and secure the knife arm, then sweep, headbutt, bite knee. This worked best for me. The guy attacking me was 18 stone and fast. Real wake up call for me :)
@@KimiMD thank you, I've been a fan of Lee Morrisons for a while. UC really is the pinnacle in combatives. Not just the physical but the mental aspect. Impact with attitude. Love that
we trained exactly this yesterday in Krav Maga with same technique as you showed. But we added scenarios like grab behind the head and grab the opposite shoulder. Especially for the latter, we used a different defence - basically push the arm away and circle around for a bear hug and smash the back of the head (like when in clinch). But really great video and good that you stress how f*cked the situation is.
Hey Michiel, will you be doing any seminars in the 🇬🇧 soon? If so, can anyone attend? Really loving your content. I've done Kickboxing for 12 years and I also did Krav Maga for 2 years. But, really interested in what you teach.
Sparring we do in cross training. Very good but for tool development. But It has nothing to do with real violence. If you don’t train for multiples and/or weapons you are not training for reality. We do this: th-cam.com/video/P1EsUFd-nsE/w-d-xo.html
I love how you address the bigger picture instead of getting hyper focued on the position like many other channels. Many instructors don't discuss the failures that lead up to this. The also ignore the environmental contexts, as well as the mental reactions of the attacker being hit. th-cam.com/video/6aDi3KHkJjc/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/6aDi3KHkJjc/w-d-xo.html Finally someone who isn't using "you're gonna get cut" as a cop-out when in reality they simply don't know how to defend against a knife.
Yea i think u shld be prepared to get cut but saying u *will* get cut is simply untrue n strikes me as a meme by ppl who've never been in such encounters but want to sound like they know things. Many street video footages online, many ppl dont get cut. There r many factors that go into such encounters. The video u sent doesnt look v safe, eg the way he blocks hes thinking grab, when he breaks away from.the shirt grab he turns his back. The UC video here night and day better.
I remember years ago I gave my 6yr daughter a small toy sword and told her to attack me and I was supposed to defend I had no chance it was for a fun trial
"...because his testicles go towards his eyeballs!" I propose that a kick in the balls is not an instantly disabling strike, and the attacker will have enough time before the pain comes on to end you. Sure, if you have a lot of weight and strength, the blow can shock, but someone who has gambled his life on ending yours is not going to stop trying because he got a kick in the balls. I'm not an experienced fighter, but I have had a blow to the balls. I have been thinking about it and have come up with 2 alternatives: Focus on the hand and arm the attacker is holding you with. Is there an effective hold? Or focus on the eyes of your attacker. Harder to stab you if he can't see you. And think about it: If you were going to stab someone the last thing you'd expect is that your opponent (victim) goes into a full-on attack at your eyes.
Because you are not experienced fighter like you said yourself you came up with a fine motor skill like attacking the eyes..and who said the knee in the groin was a guarantee? You did. Not me. I always teach them how to branch and go to another skillset if one fails. Hand/eye coordination will disappear very fast if somebody wants to make holes in you. Attacking the eyes how you explain is exactly that.
Jeeeeze. This dude is an absolute machine. Top tip: never try attack him with a knife (or with anything) I’ve just started KM after an altercation at 7.15am on a dog walk with a man on drugs who came out of nowhere. These skills are super useful in the unlikely event you ever need them!
Thanks a lot! I hope you gain something from my content. Would be great if it gave you extra situational awareness. So you could avoid the problem before it’s becoming a problem. That’s the best Self Protection! “Who came out of nowhere” is when you started the interacting with this individual..but before that you missed a lot of cues..no failure only feedback. I hope it’s useful for you!
@@schoolofselfprotection thanks. I guess I’ll learn more as I attend more. I’m only a newbie (but freaking love it) He cycled past on his bike on a path. Like many cyclists have done for years as I walked my dog. Didn’t seem anything risky so I wasn’t on red alert. Esp at 7.15am. He then jumped off his bike and came from behind. It never got physical. Thankfully I stayed calm (amazingly he allowed me to put my hand in my pocket and get my phone). The video made him back off. But he had before then cowered over me waving his fist screaming obscenities. I considered running away but there was no way I was gonna leave my dog. He can hardly walk let alone run (he’s very old). I’ll take a beating over abandoning him to be hurt by a nut job. Right or wrong that’s why I didn’t run for my life. But it dawned on me I needed self defence skills had it have got physical. I got away lightly on this one I am aware of that. 🙏🙏 And I agree had I have got the defence skills he wouldn’t have got close enough to cower over me. I’m learning this a lot from the small amount of training I’ve had - and from vids like this. So thanks ! 🙏🙏
I like this guy but people would be better off learning a GOOD martial arts, which is the development of skills, rather than pursuing received knowledge, which will always be at need
The people need Combatives for self protection. Instead of martial arts. Combatives is the condensation of all martial arts. They stuff that works under real fight stress stays.
@@schoolofselfprotection of those that do these things, I think you’re the best. Thinking about it, we should campaign to legalise .32 guns, of no more than 7 rounds and with fair tests. You can defend yourself with a .32 but it’s a pretty crap attack weapon.
Pure no nonsense stuff with no bs fluff! Outstanding man!
When he said "If you're defending, you're losing!!" Is spot on!!
Yeah, so the one way you can distinguish the McDojo's from the guys who know w.t.f they're talking about is when they tell you, you will probably get stabbed anyway. It's pretty much inevitable, the difference is whether you're going to hospital or the morgue afterward.

best thing is to only get cut and not stabbed, or get stabbed in the arm, because anywhere else is dangerous and the legs, you can't walk properly

The term McDojo has been around for ages lol

@@schoolofselfprotection of those that do these things, I think you’re the best.
Thinking about it, we should campaign to legalise .32 guns, of no more than 7 rounds and with fair tests. You can defend yourself with a .32 but it’s a pretty crap attack weapon.
Real good job men keep doing great work that men like all move men
