This is what Bruce Lee taught, Master Moses Powell, Chuck Norris, etc. Wing Chun, etc. EXCELLENT INSTRUCTION, Thank you, Sensei!!
I learned wing chung. Its a nice way of formal fighting. In that dojo my sifu was sharing his dojo with taekwondo students. Before the wing chung student could set up the taekwondo students kicked them exactly what I just saw on this video. And as far as the yelling, I think hes trying to give people power points. I wonder if they teach caning?
Stop shouting man!!!
Best advice I have seen on youtube for defending ones self. Man you make so much good sense. Thank you
Good teaching, sir, you never . Let nobody walk up on to you and hurt you. Those low power Kicks are deadly.
I agree that its important with personal space, becouse its impossible to react if somebody are very close, at best it will be a lottery who beats who. But on the other hand I fins it difficuilt to explain to the police that I attacked him first becouse he was invafing my personal space and that is very dangerous to me. The judge... would not accept my explanation, becouse he want proof that it was self defence... so if he did not had a weapon - a knife in his hand and my nose was not broken or I did not get a blue eye then he would not accept that it was self defence. Police and judge needs to see my face being damaged or that a camera filmed him throw the first blow... then I can act. They dont know how self defence works specially against stronger opponent. If there was a woman or a 15 years old boy then I can take risk of beeing hit first but not against a strong dude that can hurt me real bad.
@@alfonsgrizzly5558that’s why after you neutralize your attacker you don’t hang out to answer the authorities’ stupid questions.
You are correct. A good stop kick will give you an advantage.
This is what my father called the “old man kick” and there are obviously countless variations, but it has proven effective more than once in my lifetime and I am glad I paid attention to dad when he was sharing his wisdom and experience. When timed correctly, delivered with intent and impacts the target of choice, it does indeed open up your opponent/assailant to almost anything your imagination can conjure. It can also be an amazing Kuzushi tool for all you Judokas out there who aren’t familiar with it yet. Anyone who trains knows exactly how important balance, posture, mobility, etc. are and that all of these begin at your foundation (I.e. where your feet touch the floor), so it’s a no brainer that if you can disrupt your opponent’s foundation, you can deprive them of these crucial attributes, if even for a fraction of a second. Good video and even better advice! Listen to this man, he knows what he’s talking about.
Kick in the shin is hellish painful, that maybe the end of it right there. Especially if you wearing al school classic shoes with leather soles, and kick with the rib of the sole. In addition with those shoes you can kick with your toe or heel and that is almost like hammer.
@@Levuppercut Why not follow up by stepping onto the foot in the curve where the foot and leg meet? Then at the same time let loose with some iron fist strikes.
@@LevuppercutThe guy here shows the aggressor walking real fast toward him but when he demonstrates his low kick he has him walking slow at half speed. Would've been best to show it at real speed (with control) because correct timing is the issue when someone is aggressing toward you in such an intimidating and threatening manner.
@@glennrobinson7193 And how would that help demonstrate the concept? He's trying to show you how it works. You want to test it, test it yourself. It's what you're gonna have to do to learn it anyway.
@@screwgoogle4993
I didn't say test it.
Senior citizens are not arrogant so when a tiger confronts you, be calm as a butterfly and go animal first. Thank you professor James.
"DITTO"!
Lee taught this back in the day. Cripple, stun, kill. That was his motto.
Nice advice. Case in point. Years ago when I was a kid, there was a guy in school who had a reputation as a good street fighter. Once I asked him what he did, and he showed me. Kick the leg first then follow with punches. Sometime after, a guy came at me all mad. I kicked him on the shin like in this video. The kid dropped to the ground as if I’d hit him on the head. So, positive proof.
I have watched a LOT of videos on self defense and this man knows his stuff. His teaching is intuitive without a lot of steps to memorize. Awesome information. How to drop someone in 3 moves is my favorite.
Keeping your hands high in a non threatening
Position makes the opponents’ eyes focus on them which opens this tactic even more !
I agree. always put your hands up first. things develop so fast and crazily.
I am 79 and not likely to fight any time soon. But if I were a young man, I would sign up to study with this man. I think he has real wisdom and talent.
Putting in the distraction strike and allowing you to tear up the attackers script and apply your own- great advice. Good video.
I'm an English gent of 70 years old and this is great advice. I wear steel capped Brogue shoes. They are a dress shoe that you might wear with a suit but you can get them with steel toe caps and are worn by managers in the construction industry and the such like. Because they are for industry they have really good grippy soles. And as you say a good kick in the shin with a steel capped toe or even the pelvis area keeps people out of attack range. As a carpenter I used to have a sharp pencil behind my ear at all times. If someone was to get out of his pram as we say, it can be used with devastating effect. And in England we are not allowed to carry anything which may be considered a weapon.
Thank you Professor for always thinking outside the box. The scenario's and concepts that you and Shihan Ken bring forth demonstrate your deep rooted knowledge as well as your commitment to your students' self preservation. Like I said before, "ya gotta luv these two". Oh yeah, again, look outside the dojo windows. Night time.. While others' have gone home for the day, these two are putting in the "overtime" to put out useful content. Much respect!
Great advice… use your longest weapon first! 👍💪👏
Bruce said that in an interview.👍🏽
I'm not gonna risk my penis.
I’m not going to say I’ve seen a ton of self-defence videos, but I am going to say no one I’ve seen comes close to clearly instructing, communicating, imploring, and demonstrating like you. You are phenomenal teachers. Your clients are very fortunate to have you. 👌👏
Finally some REAL self defense strategies.
When I was about 16 I asked a judo star if he could teach me a few tricks. He agreed, took up a stance, and kicked me in the shin! I was instantly on the deck yelping in agony. Meanwhile my best mate was rolling around laughing his head off!! Good lesson though.
In the “old days” of brawling in boozers in the U.K. I learnt some lessons at a young age. I had words with an older guy I was only 17, I offered him outside.. big mistake, I walked out first… I saw coppers stood down the street and turned round to say I’m not fighting while coppers are ere,, to late BANG! a massive boot to my knee he had steel toe caps boots on lol I went down like a bag of shite! Lessons learned…. So I get it, I now teach my boys wisdom and a few tips on street fighting… they have kick boxed from a very young age, I will be showing them this vid thank you 🙏 they are nearly teenagers now and are always looking for new techniques 👍
So obvious but no one every talks about it. Perfect!
One of the best moves I never heard of before!!!!!!
Great session 👍 Please consider incorporating drills on kicks, focusing on stance, accuracy, and power. I want the Power Front Push Kick to land in the right spot, and I want to ensure that the Shin Kick doesn't miss or cause me to lose balance.
Good points 👍
You are 100% correct on this. I have Wing Chun dummy that I practice on and I always aproach the dummy with a kick to the leg, then come in for the punches.
excellent video...when I was young and starting out in martial arts, I practiced close combat techniques like this, they are extremely important. This includes palm strikes to face, eye gouges, and groin strikes. You're not trying to win a tournament, you're trying to save your life. Why are people afraid of dogs? They bite, remember that. Thank you professor
Yes I agree 100% I'm 58 yrs old living in nyc. Anything can happen at anytime. I'm thinking of taking self defense classes and getting in better shape. Good luck to u. God bless
Excellent! When I was sparring I usually kick low. It is not expected and very hard to defend against. Don't forget to kick the other leg too. Also, you can step into his ankle. Now your opponent is very unsteady.
Also, remember that all opponents have the same weaknesses: EYES EARS NOSE THROAT
How about a quick finger jab into the eyes? Blind your opponent. Then clap his ears. Boom
the fight is over!
Don't forget the "JUNK"
Yes ,if you fight someone without legs and arms
@@Carlos.M726 How about a quick poke in the eye? What did you learn to do?
This is the absolute best advice for self defense I have ever seen. Especially for someone like me who has no formal martial arts training but I used to kick box as a young man and my legs are the strongest limbs. I like to be prepared since nowadays with all these road ragers and crazies out there I want to be prepared.
Good Point!
Great content Professor and Kenny
Absolutely right on. Simplicity is the key to survival on the streets.
Short and sweet
Great share. Much Respect.
Oss.
This is good shit. I do this in kickboxing sparring. Disrupt the feet they drop their hands and the world is yours
I noticed long ago that big dudes often have weak shins
Love it! I tell people about this all the time. Happy to hear you talking about it.
I’m 71 now I did wado ryu karate, I’m 4th dan. For once I’ve seen a sensible practical martial arts master. Respect to you my friend, you talk sense, you know your stuff. If you can train with this guy. Michael in the uk.
Just very good advice and tremendously good instructions from someone who KNOWS REALITY. He really got my attention. Gold content. I very much liked and subscribed.
Thank You for the useful. practical information in helping keep us safe.
I agree with understanding the situation & acting in self defense. However, if he is walking towards you aggressively, with intent to harm, and you strike him first with any part of your body, a District Attorney may file against you so now you are defending against a criminal charge.
And are their witnesses which is another factor. Are they friends of the attacker?
Consider the legal aspects of you action.
So what. Rather get charges pressed by the DA than let someone get off on me first and possibly getting seriously injured.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Reasonable belief of imminent harm is the standard, and a low kick is non-lethal force. A "Charge" means nothing. A charge WILL come if you're been in a self-defense situation. This legal shit is what makes people hesitate and get killed, as almost happened to me. Shove that crap back up your ass.
You are right. In my country, Spain, happens the same. When an attacker goes for you, you get charged with the burden to discern in a fraction of a second whether are you going to be hit or not (impossible task in that moment, but the judge and the jury will have days to demonstrate that you had to be still). Let them do their job, yours is to remain unharmed: avoid the confrontation if you can but hit first if the foe charges you.
An excellent point.. always always always avoid the fight until you can't. If you haven't read the art of war you should. You should take steps away and control the distance. Keep them out of range as much as possible. It's better to pretend to be a little bitch and go on about your day after that encounter, than it is to hurt the guy as much as satisfies your anger.. until you catch a charge. How much is that lawyer going to cost? How much of your freedom will be in jail when you could be doing much more satisfying things.. How much more fightng and more charges will you catch in jail with the other morons? That's not to say don't train to fight.. and not to fight when you absolutely have to.. Also the more you run the more your adversary will think you are weak.. it might embolden him but again keep distant.. but it's a tactical advantage when he thinks you are weak but you're really strong (in fighting not strength) and you flip the script on him. So yes walk away as much as you can.. run if you have to. It presents a much better self defense story that you retreated until cornered and THEN struct first. in some places it is a legal requirement to retreat first before using deadly force.. and before any encounter, you don't know, it might end up looking like deadly force. The guy could fall and hit his head on something sold. The guy could be moments short of falling dead from drug overdose like George Floyd. The guy might have an aneurism or heart attack etc.. but since you just struck him, to idiots, it looks like you're the bad guy who killed him. Any street fight , lose or win, has the potential to ruin your life. After you hurt someone defending yourself I advise you to leave and be gone ASAP. You dont' know if that idiot will die 3 days later from his aneurysm and they try ti put i on you. It's better that the gov't doesn't have your information. Maybe you'll get lucky and that fool will leave too, and there will be no one around for the police to take a report from. Then if he croaks 3 days later its just "all we know is he had a fight 3 days ago". Let the witness statements be "He chased this guy down, the guy struck hm, he fell, the guy left" vs "thats' the guy! over there in the green shirt. He his this man that you see laying on the ground. he threw the first kick".. You have to consider the long term risks as well as the short term risks, over your desire to give someone the beating they deserve to satisfy your feelings of anger. YOU avoid THIS fight.. and let this idiot encounter another idiot and let them ruin both of their lives. Daniel Penny shouldn't be in jail but this is the world we live in now. He disabled a threatening crazy person who ended up dying. Now he's on trial for murder. Even if he gets found not guilty which i really hope so, the hassles and costs leading up to the trial.. was it worth it? No not unless the dead guy was in progress of violence. I'll say a prayer for him. Don't let that be you.
I love this. Thank you both. I was always taught if they can't stand they can't fight. I always take a shin or a knee out!
You make some good points 👍 Keep up the good work👍
In no way do I have your level of training but have enjoyed (mostly in my head) the concept of self defense, since the 1970's. My go to scenario (again, in my head) in defending against an unexpected attack is a kick to the knee. I am glad to finally see the low kick advocated by a pro.
I used that shin kick all the time in the dojo in kumite.Most of us who had any sense wore shin protectors. Even being kicked by the other guy with bare feet on shin protectors ,my shins were bruised heavily.
I used to kick my opponent in the shins and follow up with either a back fist strike ( uraken ).or a straight punch to the face or chest ) obviously i pulled the punch or back fist .
But not on the street.Its a fast unexpected attack as most guys standing arguing with uou wont expect a hard kick in the shins .i used mostly my outside edge of foot .Great demo .
yes but after the kick the fight has started, no going back. if you think you will win the fight it's a good tactic, otherwise ...
If someone comes into your personal space the fight already started
Otherwise you keep the advantage
We got a guy here who only fights people he knows/thinks he can beat? where's the learning curve or pride in that? I'm proudest of scrapping the scary, intimidating guys who were supposed to kick my ass handily only to find out I have no quit or give in my nature, they don't even have a clue they may have rung my bell a few times. That's why you hit or kick first, teach a bulky a lesson or make a jackass think twice about getting bold w strangers and stepping in personal space which to me is about 10 ft if you're yapping and chirping at ppl.
Very true, you only have a couple seconds to sum this guy up, whether he wants to throw down or can he be reasoned with?
SMART - drawn from observations all of us have missed!
Ive done this for a long time, there is alot to be said, for making them shorter, great videos, i see alot of egos commenting.
I've thought this is the best first strike you can make if you are in an altercation. If you take out a man's shin(lower leg), he'll have a hard time standing. A man that can't stand too well, can't fight too well!! Really good advice Sir!!
I have always defended and fought like this. They don't expect it and it doesn't half hurt them, when you are a regular wearer of steel toe cap boots 👍💪
I miss used a low-kick; the result still worked for me; I fired too soon, forced me to hit him in the hip. Force spun the attacker. He still landed a grazing blow, resulting in a black eye. But I was able to get him in a hold. We ended up under a stair case. Broke my fifth metacarple because of the hammer fist I used on him.
Your personal space theory is correct. But the kick is starting the fight. So, you might as well try and end it as fast and as safe as possible if verbal de-escalation doesnt work. Usually thats a punch or elbow that are most direct.
See 3 second fighter by Geoff Thompson and his "fence" theory. Great book on personal defence.
Yes sir: I hit that subscribe button. Ego is not your Amigo! Good practical stuff! Situational awareness.
Exactly right. That leg comes right up off the ground, it's a beautiful thing
You guys are great, subbed!
Knees and bollocks the mantra I gave my daughter when we were training.
Great video
Good advice. Should train it because timing and targeting could be a challenge.
Thank You, I am impressed, and yes it’s very practical, and I just subscribed.
Excellent video. Great advice. God bless.
This is great. Glad I found it! Thanks
Like Barry Drennens "soccer kick"
Great video. Most martial arts instructors dont talk about this kind of thing.
very good, SIMPLE, thank you!
Always great
Lowered head invites all kinds of savagery
Simple and strategic! Great advice!
Studied with Rex Lee....had a couple of lessons and budokhan with the Prof. Moses Powell ...exactly what they taught..only goal is victory...and preservation
I think it's great that Derek White agreed to help out on this video. 🏀
Great advice
Thank you
Wow. That is great lesson. Thank you very much.
Thanks for a great video and practical advice ! Never watched any of your video's before and I am impressed. (Wish you were closer, because I'd want to learn from you guys). "Do you not see with your own eyes" ? "Are you not seeing what's going on" ? "Do you not believe what you are seeing" / Wow, no one ever speaks of these things. I't always in terms of when an aggressor is already in your face. I believe for many of us it's not wanting to believe we are faced with a confrontation. Why ? Because normal people do not want to bother others and we sure don't want to be threatened. But evil knows those who mind their own business and thinks they are easy prey.
Thank you 👍
That time when plain common sense seems like magical , mystical teaching to some people. Nice common sense video.
Quality tip and I like his style of teaching
Good advice from Proff. & Kenny
Great. Defense Kick!; Look. and Kick! Thanks
Low strikes are so under utilized. I noticed I quickly resort to a punch aimed up high in my own efforts to protect myself and fend off an attacker.
"There are freaks everywhere."
- every 3ft and under person who watched the clip.
Use what they give ya, violence of action is your friend!
Hats off to you mister👏👏👏👏🤗
Everyone forgets about the legs!❤
nice one
Bas Rutten says never underestimate the value of a good kick to the groin
Sifu told me to use my foot lift it half circular side way to contact with a low kick. It will cause the attacker to stumble out of balance. It works .
old school for a reason....lived long enough to know.
that shin pain is real. Even a light strike. And with shoe soles, or boots, man it hurts a lot. Like the coffee table, oof
Thanks brother
Look out for the other guy 😊
Kick in the shin may be the end of it right there. Especially if you wearing al school classic shoes with leather soles, and kick with the rib of the sole. In addition with those shoes you can kick with your toe or heel and that is almost like hammer.
YEP!😀👍
Yep. But unfortunately what you imagine in your head and what happens irl are many times very different things.
Thanks!
Very good helpful thanks
¡¡¡Madre mía!!, ¡¡Qué cara tienen!!!. Otro como los chinos del "CHI".
Good info
Great defense vid ! Plz show us how your 87 yr old/young instructor fought after age 70. Did he wear steel toed athletic shoes? 👟 Tks! I sub'd
How does this work in a minor car reck where a hot head bolts out if his car,angry and gets in your face?The law will not be on your side if you attack first.
How is the the gonna be on your side if you die before they arrive.
Best to stay in your car,and if he gets the door open ,then its open season.Obviously what he is teaching is a diff situation and wont covet all attacks .
I am confused....Do you strike his chin with your toes or the underbelly of your foot, including under the toes and and front pad of your foot? Because if you dont connect properly, your foot can actually glide up his shin with little impact.
Thanks buddy
Did he call me not normal? Just because my fingernails drag on sidewalk? Dat's cold!
Nice, simple, uncomplicated.
Yep, smart advice.
And, just another reason I exclusively wear Red Wing Black Smith boots.
Hey! Don't dis my orangutan arms 🦍
All correct but what you fail to tell your viewers is that it would take years of training to enable one to accurately hit an advancing assailant in the shin. Less training for one who resorts to using his hands to defend / counter.
