I know that alot of martial arts focus is about control, controlling yourself, the situation and the attacker. But honestly, I think that in defending yourself against an intentional bad guy (not just a guy trying to bully you in a bar) that you have to be pretty cold and ruthless if it's a situation you can't escape out of beforehand. I don't think that it's reasonable to attempt to counter people like this in a 'civilized' way. To defeat a wild dog, and essentially that's what these sociopaths are, you pretty much have to put them down.
Facts. If I ever encountered one of these guys, and I couldn't get away from them, I'd do anything possible to eliminate the threat. You have to have an internal switch and a willingness to kill evil if need be.
Thats what most people dont get about a real self defence situation: there are no boundaries of violence. And for a normal, civilized human being it can be hard to flip that switch in a second. Its not as pretty as a kickboxing session.

The book "Facing Violence: Preparing for the Unexpected" has a good categorizational system dividing up predators into three types, status predators, resource predators, and actual predators. It did a good job of describing what each type of predator is after and what things might work on one and won't work on another. For instance, deescalating with a status predator who just wants to look tough for his friends or girlfriend will typically work, because he gets to feel like a big man. Deescalating with an actual predator who is targeting you because he wants to take you to a private place to torture and kill you won't work, because seeming weaker will only cement that you are a better target in his mind.
And that's why I don't go outside much these days. I don't want to take the risk of the latter so i maintain it for a bit and see what's what, feel it out, then if they seem to be the former I'll chill and go for the compromise. And sadly, me being a scrawny guy works against me so I risk actually getting into a fight which makes me just prefer to avoid everyone. It's just easier that way. Being the scrawny guy makes you everyone's target, it sucks but what can you do.

One of the best things I was ever taught was by my old Krav instructor. He asked the group what out longest range weapon was? We ALL said legs. He said nope. And no one ended up getting it. He then said voice is your longest range weapon. But, what reaches longer than voice. And he said eyes. Avoidance beats everything! Most people walk around on white and straight into trouble. I see it ALL the time working in London. Only this morning I watched a woman walking down the road on her own completely oblivious to her surroundings! Alost waiting to be mugged with her eyes buried in her phone. Everyone assumes it won't happen to them. Until it does!
I was taught self defense from an individual who was trained by the military and also self taught and he said that if you are aware of your surroundings that makes a world of difference. He said to remember this that a man can't fight if a man can't see, a man can't fight if a man can't breathe and a man can't fight if a man can't walk. This philosophy has been literally a life saver for me.
Very few people can blind fight. I wear glasses, can't see nothing without them. Fingers to the eyes, foot to the balls, elbow to your temple. As for my finishing move... It's too devastating...
@@mrJay-hg6ep I wear them to Mr Jay and I know exactly where you're coming from. Can't see without my specks. Nice moves and they all are effective. I always like heal of my foot onto the top of theirs. It will bring down the biggest adversary like a sack of potatoes. I'm not the biggest man so I have to improvise.
@@mrJay-hg6ep I’m not condoning illegal activity but strap up, it’s 2022 and niggas don’t care if you do boxing or what color belt you are in your local dojo, I carried a .S&W.22short since the age of 14 until I got my .380 bodyguard back in 2020 which I still ccw, I’m 17 now and would definitely rather be arrested with a unregistered firearm then have some mf catch me without said firearm.
I was talking to a gun shop guy yesterday who was attacked by a gang with a baseball bat who smashed the back of his head open, he was armed and shot at them but was too fucked up from the brain trauma to properly fight back. He still scared them so much they ran off. I can’t compare, but I told him about when a guy pulled a knife on me before I started to carry and when I was unarmed in the situation, I ran as fast as I motherfucking could, I ran until my veins pumped battery acid and I kept running. I told him the exact words “I felt like a giant pussy” and he says “dude, the goal of self defense is to stay alive. Fucking run.” Editor’s note: I am a kickboxer, I have sparred and trained under three mentors. I know how to defend myself. I’m just not fucking around with a knife.
Why did you feel like that? The only guy that should have felt like that was the guy holding the knife. Real men don't pull weapons out on other men, they fight with their fist.
The situational awareness of that woman was amazing. She probably lives in a culture where kidnapping is common and so is always mindful of the risk but was safe because of her initial awareness and rapid response.
i was thinking the very same thing this morning. so called hard cases and what i call "hobby" fighters that love and enjoy inflicting violence expect what they consider muppets to roll over and beg not to be beaten., Why should people possessed by evil be the winners? good people CAN kill bad people !
The only way to have peace is to prepare for war. Sure it matters who's got the biggest stick, but it matters a hell of a lot more who's swinging it. Stay frosty!
Defend good against evil non violently if you can, but if not then any way you can.....you didn't start the fight, but you will end it....psychos and lunatics like this are the chlorine that needs to be removed from the gene pool....and lots more like them....just look around
@@JFKennedeez Then hope, you never need to know.. In the meanwhile, others will visualize ripping eyes out, crushing throats and other nifty things, that even most small women can learn to do pretty fukin' fast..
Learned long ago that many people don't play by middle class standards. You may think you agreed on one on one but their friends may jump in or might just glass you in the face and walk away. The fictional Jack Reacher has an excellent mentality and style to his fights that should be emulated. De-escalate but when pushed be brutal, direct, and effective.
Couldn't agree more, my dad once told, I will never forget, i was kid back then, he told me the "kid version" of what u said. "Don't start fights, be friendly, but if u have to, in defence, make one punch that counts!" .
Pretty much just don't assume the other guy is going to play fair. Everything is on the table, and that should be a factor in whether to engage them or not.
That is how I operate too, if I am going to do it I become death incarnate. Also if a large group tries to attack me than I horribly destroy the leader until he screams in agony that cripples them. Most of the time the group would run away. I am absolutely ruthless and merciless if I have to fight.
I'm not a violent guy, neither a "fighter" or someone who go towards those situations, if I can run, I'll do it, leaving the situation in anyways is always the best option, but when shit goes sideways i'm willing to give a life in order to take one, but that's the worst case scenario and there's almost every time a option to run!

Yes brother, one MUST be all in when evil confronts you. I've been blessed with conveying this intent on certain occasions where I was outnumbered and against some badass individuals. They backed down everytime. One must be totally committed, bluffing could have fatal consequences. Much love and respect sensei. I much appreciate your videos. Hari Om
Intent needs to be fought with intent. If their intent is to harm you, your intent needs to be to harm them. You need to be offensive that's the one and only way to defend yourself and your loved ones in bad situations.
Except in most cases people like this will be vastly more capable of harming you. Almost a guarantee in fact. Unless you have a gun or are lucky enough to be an absolute god of fighting. Your intent matching theirs only works if you have a guaranteed way. And many people get killed because they are dumb enough to TRY and match intent when they're far from capable. And no, some martial arts training won't be super effective against someone who's been street fighting their entire lives or is completely willing to kill.
Absoulutely love your channel, your insights into the mental side of self defence are second to none. You truly need to expand your schooling towards north america. The fact you go beyond techiques and training is amazing considering this day and age of (easy self defence) Please keep up the sharing of knowledge.
0:30 For one thing, if a bunch of dudes come walking toward your car with bad intentions, slam the accelerator instead of politely maneuvering out of the way.
That's pretty stupid. Dont let anyone disrespect you?! So what are you going to do? Kick every one's butt because they looked at you with disrespect? If that's your philosophy, you're an idiot and will die because of it.
The thing about the streets. Is you must look at everyone as being highly dangerous. And this is how you absolutely have to think about every situation. Because of the fact, you don't know how dangerous the person is in front of you. You have to treat them like they are highly volatile and dangerous. There's absolutely no room for a conscience, when defending yourself. Or even any kind of passion at that moment. You fight as though your life depends on it! With everything you have! Bring out that killer instinct! Because your life just may in fact depend on it. My philosophy always has been, and always will be. Treat every conflict with high aggression. That is the only true way to survive. There's plenty of time to feel bad about it. After your life has been saved, and you're still walking around alive. The old saying is. If you can walk away then do it. Problem is, most of the time that isn't possible.
@Nigel Shepherd yes true, some people are just out looking for victims. So the important thing, is to not look like one. In other words. Walk with confidence, not cockiness but confidence. Stay alert, and always check your surroundings. Remember, the bad people on the street looking for trouble. Usually have a plan for the attack. So it's important that we train our minds to be ready, and have a plan ourselves. Get a friend and practice different scenarios. Do that a lot! So that it becomes like muscle memory. Now there are instructors out there. Who do not believe, that you can train and plan for altercations. But I beg to differ with them. Practicing Street altercations with someone. Will always give you an edge. Over someone who doesn't practice or train at all. At least then, you'll have some idea what to do.
The best part in the interview is when he says that they kill each other a lot. I wish they would do it even more. And I wish as people we should carry weapons in order to deter these criminals. No excuses for them.
Isn't it great to see people love and help each other.......... To know that your fellow man is there, to help you in a time of need........ God must be so happy observing his greatest creation.........🥳
You do a great job of incorporating the psychology of the situation in your videos, for self preservation. This one is dark, the mind of psychopaths wrapped up in one of the many dysfunctional youths. Scary stuff!
I've been around real bad people , both friend and foe . Most people don't understand what's out there preying on people and how savage they can be . I knew a guy playing the tough guy hustler that tried to hustle some real psychopaths and he ended up taped to a chair surrounded by plastic , 3 men and a chainsaw! Honor , RESPECT ,awareness and training are my best defense against those type people but you never know what tomorrow might bring.
I found the eye contact one is huge. Not sure if I would of been kidnapped but I feel I have avoided many problems by not making eye contact with someone who gives the vibes they are fucked up. At the same time I am also keeping a keen awareness about the person, not pretending they are not there incase they still come at me.
"Its not the violence that sets a man apart, its the distance he is prepared to go" 90% of the population have no clue how far and what they are prepared to do because most people have never even been in an actual fight; where they have been hit or hit someone for real to protect themselves.
I have been few times in fight, but to be honest i dont like that at all. Because i dont want any problems. But once agaun, if snyone try to hurm my 2 people in my family i would make sure they never breath again. Thats simple. I dont ask for problems, i dont want problems but i would harm badly whoever want to do some bad things to me because of stupid reasons. ❤️❤️❤️
I just discovered your channel and boy am I glad I did. You present hard topics with such coolness and clearness I admire and want to replicate in my public speakings!
Situational awareness or presense of mind, quick physical reactions or reflexes, mental strength or toughness, composure or self-confidence, resourcefulness, the instinct or the will to fight back and defend yourself, knowing when to fight back or when to just run away as fast as you can, avoiding people places and situations that potentially lead to heated altercations or violent encounters, and your martial arts/fighting/self-defense skills and techniques (if you have any or some) which you have spent long periods of time practicing and training, can drastically increase your chances of successfully defending yourself and surviving violent self-defense encounters. Speaking based on my personal experience as a self-defense practitioner.
Lol 00:16 I don't know if they forget or if its the lack of willingness to hurt another person but time and time again civilians fail to use their vehicles to run a threat down. I see cops and hardened criminals, and snapped people use their vehicles more often as weapon than victims in selfdefens
I've dealt with this type of guys before. The best thing you can do, get really loud, really hostile, really fast. They more times than not, will go away. Like said, opportunsts.
Grab the hood and draw it down so he cant see and you have control and can do many moves from there, the danger about those types is that they often are many, they only attack if they outnumber you because they are cowards.
Not necessarily... The majority of serial killers move in silence and by their lonely. And it is very hard to see those type coming, sadly.. always stay alert 🙏🏻

very interesting approach to self defence. Nice one. Could you make the follow up video be about if you are actually kidnapped by this kind of person, and what they best way to behave actually is. That would be worth knowing think
Rule #1; Expect the unexpected - (Be prepared for any and everything if possible.) Rule #2; Analyze, think and then move - (Read the situation, know what you're up against, and then act accordingly.) Rule #3; Know your limits - (Know what you are capable of)
I remember one occasion as I left a club in Cardiff when I was about 18 years old. Suddenly I was confronted by 3 dudes who adopted an aggressive stance, while I merely stood on the spot and didn't say anything, but what I did do was to confidently survey the 3 of them and sort of gave out a vibe that I wasn't afraid. Suddenly their stance broke and they backed down and walked off, as did I. A strange confrontation that was all about body language and attitude.
In regards to violent situations. Having big balls can save your life, but can also get you killed. Most of the time if you remain calm and relaxed, before the encounter. It will actually intimidate the predator a bit. That you may have play or trick up yourself, he miscalculated on.
A technique from Rory Millers book "meditations on violence" (witch is really good) called big dog, another one littel dog (witch i`ve used once on a guy trying to start a fight), he got alot of good advice.
Long time fan. I've watched a lot of your videos, but this particular one is the most useful and important to watch. I'd really like you to go in depth on tools for building situational awareness, observation and avoidance skills.
I have 20 years of taekwondo training and i will never stop learning thank you for sharing these excellent videos ❤ ICE Intercept Control Escape..wonderful! Do you have any videos i can purchase or more training to face multiple attackers breaks locks and things like that.

In the following book, which is very good, he says something like 'look at a guy's wrists. If he has thick wrists he could have alot of punching power'. Tis is a very true statement.

Dr. Mark thanks for putting this up. Interesting on many different levels- these guys have managed to do enough mental gymnastics to justify (to themselves) victimizing other people and committing crime. I suspect they have a notion of the world as a jungle, they see themselves as an apex predator and other people exist only to get them what they want. It is their fault for being prey....There are a lot of holes in this very limited perspective and it's convenient for them to ignore that. If they are incarcerated for long periods of time, that is definitely an opportunity to think it through. Also interesting that he does seem to have some notion of things being not quite right- the sadness he spoke of may be an idea that he is missing some information. He does seem to know that there are consequences for these kind of choices and seems to feel that he is past the point of any return from it. Not only is law enforcement looking for him, (in theory) the other members of his own cartel could take him down, plus other cartels could kidnap him and torture him to death. I have no idea how you could sleep. But they can be the hero of their story for a little while until the morgue or prison.....If what you respect and value is money, power, violence, this will be a powerful magnet for extremely bad Karma. As a spiritual person, I can barely imagine the consequences in store for this guy....a very very long journey ahead at best. And yes, part of the solution to the problem of crime is to be a harder target. Probably not just one or two day workshops but more like a semester of undergrad coursework at the minimum.
Sometimes when someone says that they are not going to hurt you and just want money it's because they want you to relax and drop your guard so they can control the situation and deliver more harm to you.
Not really, in most cases like this they already have all control. This statement is most often a sign that you can escape the situation if you comply. Even if it's just a trick there isn't any point to it. If am kidnapped and you plan on killing me after I comply then am dead if am kidnapped and I don't comply then you can kill me anyways.
I supposed if the kidnapper doesn't have any control they would say this to get you drop your guard. Like lets say you locked yourself somewhere and they want you to come out.
What you said about committing fully when faced with violent offenders is true. I find it hard to commit to hard sparing sessions or going hard in martial arts drills as I always practice restraint on my partners. This in turn makes me think I would hesitate in life threatening situations
I think tabata drills are great for that, with a heavy bag or a red man. Of course you cant break joints and destroy faces during that drill, but you can train to bring that intensity
Sparing (sadly) should always be done with taking the sting out. But indeed, use other means to practice your skills while really ampting up the killer inside of you. Also, do this daily, choose what you will do and what you'll be like when the moment happens. Mentally prepare yourself by visualising the scenarios over and over again. I truly believe that repeated mental visualisation of how you inflict violence on an attacker is superior over just beating the bag. If you don't visualise yourself to be a psycho aga8nst another human, you might freeze when you really get attacked by another human. You hard punches against the back must be (mentally) directed at a human, not a bag (hope that makes sense), so you use them accordingly.
Being bullied from a young age, it took time to build confidence in my own abilities. After i had squared off with a few of them & came off ok, i developed from there. Now in my 50's, aware of my own strengths n weaknesses, i am always situationally aware, viewing my home, life & location from the outside in. Thinking like a predator with no boundries, i see the potential weak points around my home, family & self. My home is semi rural with livestock. A potential threat is always on my mind. With the use of white electric fence tape mounted high along the property fenceline & warning signs, it reduces the opportunistic attempts. If they are not put off by the wire & gain access, i have purposefully made their exit difficult with barbed wire & strong stainless bird spikes secured along all solid fencelines & entry gates to make it difficult to climb over,. Doing this i successfully funnel any potential threat directly to a highly lit & camera observed area. Due to mobile device alerts, i am already aware of them & from my vantage point i can see what i am dealing with to gauge whether to confront, shoot or watch them struggle for their own freedom. A great static defence. This pre-emptive set up works & has been tested thanks to potential thieves who now know better. I learnt while in the army a basic saying... The 6 P's. Prior Preparation Prevents a Piss Poor Performance. Think like an elite forward observer, be ready for anything yet minimise it's actuality. Engage on your terms, not theirs.
My wife I Japanese. She had no situational awareness at all. So every time we were out and there was a sketchy guy, or the hairs on my neck told me there was danger I would point it out to her. I would ask there is possible danger right now, what is it? Eventually she would scan the people for the potential danger. It took longer to teach her to be aware of other things like intimate objects that might point to danger. A van driving around the parking lot repeatedly;y with no windows. She also has learned to not be timid when being approached. And yes, calculate an escape route... You videos are a breath of fresh air in the onslaught of hilarious teachers who want to teach you techniques that will get you killed. I just saw a classic video of a guy going after the robbers gun. He has a hold of the guy and is trying to control the gun arm. The robber steps back slightly and rips his gun hand free and shoots the guy in the top of the head. Here in San Francisco a few years ago a guy who owned a dojo (of what style doesn't matter) he is coming home from the dojo wearing his gee. Or some clothing that represented his dojo. After the altercation while driving they come to a light and he gets out and walks up to the offending driver, but before he can utter a word, Bam. Shot in the face... dead.
The part about staring is very important. If men stare at each other it is a very good tell that you are dealing with trouble. If someone stares at you it's a big tell. Let them know you see them but them break contact and move on.
It is so unfortunate that watching your channel is necessary today. I have extensive boxing and some MA training and I have had relatively minor problems in my life requiring self defense. That changed about two years ago. Today, self defense and situation awareness are important and necessary skills. I enjoy your channel because you discuss the intelligence required for good self defense.
I've met this type, and have never been targeted by them. I don't go looking for trouble but if it finds me, it makes me angry instead of fearful. Sure I get the adrenaline rush, but I will tend to turn that into sheer cruelty. I am only 5'11" and 150 lbs. But if I am fucked with my size doesn't matter, all bets are off and I am simply focused on the enjoyment of inflicting as much damage as I am able and get it done as fast as possible. In other words, Zero to 100 in a split second, reasonable and agreeable to irrational and overwhelmingly violent in the blink of an eye.
Absolutely I learned that the hard way. We train boxing in the park and comes one guy who has so fragile ego that he just goes all out in the training. And I decide to see if he is still a thrash, so I invite him into a round. We start the round and he is like that mentality for dominance in the beginning. I just smile and stay calm but at one point I gave him a warning and he doesn't listen. So I decide I had enough, didn't get enough sleep and now this. So I try to knock him out. Didn't worked but I just realized with some people you have to be a fckin monster they don't understand from anything else. From that day on I realized that you have to be like them in that manner. When attacker comes and wants to treaten your health you will have to threaten his. But just be calmer I that manner. While doing it. And also we require situational awareness to be able to be really effective and not panic and do that to someone who is just into joke or a friend.
This happened to me a few months ago... 3 Bad guys. You can take leap of fate or face them. Could I have taken them unarmed - yes. If the were armed - NO. I might have died. Who knows... From what I have seen. The survival rate of these encounters is 10%.
I agree with you. When I tell people to stop saying that other people's feelings don't matter and to care about how others feel, I do so because, in my opinion, if you say the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time and you get punched, stabbed, or shot in the face, you got what you deserved. However, I am not defending violent actions as the right thing to do; rather, I am arguing that such violent actions are entirely understandable and it was an avoidable situation.
Great video. Very important to understand that real violence isn't like you see on tv. Its guys like the one in the video that people think don't exist. WRONG!
Also to add simply dont look like a mark! Big or small walk head up shoulders back and a Idgaf look on your face. They want easy quick targets! Present yourself as aware and capable!
When you fought and trained for over 15 years (muay thai and mma) people tend to avoid you. I just feel myself exited and calm when shit start hitting the fan. Call me a weirdo.... Even in school when I was a kid people were like... lets not mess with the Russian foreign kid. Just go to a local club and start training ... it will help you alot in life. Not only for fighting but for understanding human interactions BEFORE shit hits the fan. I tend to avoid "situations" but when needed might aswell bang the party.
Being middle aged and unable to fight the good fight any more... I chose to turn to my skill from a lifetime of training which in-turn made me a Grand Master of "Ching Pow". When a young man pulled his pistol on me.. I took note when he worked the slide that the semi auto's chamber was empty and called him out on his unloaded gun... after a talk with the young man.. we parted ways .. him a bit smarter and likely to spend much more time with his newborn son.
sir ,am a girl and i want to learn how to defend myself as u know am an easy target ,so my question is theres a big hole of phesycal strenght between me and the potential attacker how can i get over it or avoid toe to toe fight ,am really looking for your advices ad tips plz answer
Well you can't avoid it because when you're dealing with experienced kidnappers, it is only a matter of time before they manage to catch you by surprise. A relative of mine who was 205 cm and weighed around 115 kg and with exceptional strength, probably as strong as 3 dudes, got into a fight with some teenage thug that was involved in organized crime, the fight was over nothing other than my relative looking for trouble and so he threatened the kid because he felt disrespected, unfortunately for him there was no indication of what the kid was involved in so within a period of 6 months they organized an ambush where a group of 9 of them caught my relative off guard when he was coming from a late shift as a senior security officer. Even if they hadn't caught him off guard he would not have stood a chance since it were 9 dudes and most of whom were not scrawny dudes like that kid, they dragged him to the roof of an apartment and threw him down, as you can imagine he did not survive the fall. So you're best bet is to train your stamina so that when you make a run for it, you can outrun whoever is trying to kidnap you, trying to fight back when it's an entire group of experienced dudes is very risky and even if you were to be armed, if they are experienced then they will never approach you from the front where you expect it, just like how they got my relative despite his stature and strength, he was caught off guard and got overpowered, simple as that.
"There's always a sadness in me." Well, yes, because you're going to face God one day for what you've done. I'd honestly rather die in the holocaust than face what you have to face.
Maybe something to think about - a lot of these folks are VERY religious and believe in a god. There’s just no way of knowing or demonstrating whether you are more or less right in stating that they’ll “face god” one day or that’ll be a bad time for them.

As an mma fighter your only getting a fair fight one place and that’s in the cage, my best advice as a pretty damn good fighter is eyes testicles throat in that order, screw anything fair, if you have keys or literally anything sharp on hand go for their eyes or above their eyes so the blood runs down, you can either run move onto the next attacker or pummel the single attacker as he is now blinded by the blood in his eyes, if you can kick them in the testicles do so as hard as you can, if they grab you, grab them harder, the throat is a lot harder to strike successfully but if at any point you can land a solid throat shot you just need to wrestle with them until the lack of oxygen starts to affect them it won’t take very long but you do need to hit it pretty hard, also if they are shirtless the diaphragm, the area between the chest and the abs, a good 3 inch sized pocket everyone has can be the quickest way to take some one down, one good shot and your likely to have them throwing u o blood all over you, the best defense is also preparation, idc how much of a goober it makes you feel like you should spend 5-10 minutes shadow boxing before you shower or something, just a dedicated 5-10 minutes of going through scenarios in your head and boxing them out, if your going to try to defend yourself with something sharp, practice with that for 5-10 minutes a day, and never be afraid to run or call the cops idgaf, I know I’ll smesh 99% of people on this planet 1v1 because I’m going to use every tool I have available to survive and I’d still say that’s our best option, take the risk out of the equation and get somewhere safe or get the cops to you, anyone can slip and fall and lose a fight it doesn’t matter how good they are take the chance out of the equation if possible and dip!!!
Violence is not always proportional, one of the biggest regrets I have is I grew up homeless as a child product of my environment & spent 25 years being cool with people once I escaped that I'm also severely disabled so I play the happy go lucky cool guy ignoring my past until someone tried to rob me and my mates who are just normal people on a bus I went a bit sick and ended up taking digits off with his own weapon & and a left eye as a trophy quite happy about it while it was happening (I was admittedly born with a screw loose I enjoy combat but I'm disabled so I don't put myself in those situations generally) no one's ever looked at me the same since that day & I wish they hadn't witnessed that side of me.
I know that alot of martial arts focus is about control, controlling yourself, the situation and the attacker. But honestly, I think that in defending yourself against an intentional bad guy (not just a guy trying to bully you in a bar) that you have to be pretty cold and ruthless if it's a situation you can't escape out of beforehand. I don't think that it's reasonable to attempt to counter people like this in a 'civilized' way. To defeat a wild dog, and essentially that's what these sociopaths are, you pretty much have to put them down.
Facts. If I ever encountered one of these guys, and I couldn't get away from them, I'd do anything possible to eliminate the threat. You have to have an internal switch and a willingness to kill evil if need be.
Well said.
I couldn't agree with you more ! .
Some people simply don't understand this. They think they can survive on their nobility when it comes to physical conflict.
Some people need killin' - we don't have to like it but that *is* the reality ...
Thats what most people dont get about a real self defence situation: there are no boundaries of violence. And for a normal, civilized human being it can be hard to flip that switch in a second. Its not as pretty as a kickboxing session.

@@Shockernor I don’t blame you most people will too
The book "Facing Violence: Preparing for the Unexpected" has a good categorizational system dividing up predators into three types, status predators, resource predators, and actual predators. It did a good job of describing what each type of predator is after and what things might work on one and won't work on another. For instance, deescalating with a status predator who just wants to look tough for his friends or girlfriend will typically work, because he gets to feel like a big man. Deescalating with an actual predator who is targeting you because he wants to take you to a private place to torture and kill you won't work, because seeming weaker will only cement that you are a better target in his mind.
Thanks for suggesting.
And that's why I don't go outside much these days. I don't want to take the risk of the latter so i maintain it for a bit and see what's what, feel it out, then if they seem to be the former I'll chill and go for the compromise. And sadly, me being a scrawny guy works against me so I risk actually getting into a fight which makes me just prefer to avoid everyone. It's just easier that way. Being the scrawny guy makes you everyone's target, it sucks but what can you do.

One of the best things I was ever taught was by my old Krav instructor. He asked the group what out longest range weapon was? We ALL said legs. He said nope. And no one ended up getting it. He then said voice is your longest range weapon. But, what reaches longer than voice. And he said eyes. Avoidance beats everything! Most people walk around on white and straight into trouble. I see it ALL the time working in London. Only this morning I watched a woman walking down the road on her own completely oblivious to her surroundings! Alost waiting to be mugged with her eyes buried in her phone. Everyone assumes it won't happen to them. Until it does!
I was taught self defense from an individual who was trained by the military and also self taught and he said that if you are aware of your surroundings that makes a world of difference. He said to remember this that a man can't fight if a man can't see, a man can't fight if a man can't breathe and a man can't fight if a man can't walk. This philosophy has been literally a life saver for me.

I was talking to a gun shop guy yesterday who was attacked by a gang with a baseball bat who smashed the back of his head open, he was armed and shot at them but was too fucked up from the brain trauma to properly fight back. He still scared them so much they ran off.
I can’t compare, but I told him about when a guy pulled a knife on me before I started to carry and when I was unarmed in the situation, I ran as fast as I motherfucking could, I ran until my veins pumped battery acid and I kept running. I told him the exact words “I felt like a giant pussy” and he says “dude, the goal of self defense is to stay alive. Fucking run.”
Editor’s note: I am a kickboxer, I have sparred and trained under three mentors. I know how to defend myself. I’m just not fucking around with a knife.

The situational awareness of that woman was amazing. She probably lives in a culture where kidnapping is common and so is always mindful of the risk but was safe because of her initial awareness and rapid response.

Learned long ago that many people don't play by middle class standards. You may think you agreed on one on one but their friends may jump in or might just glass you in the face and walk away. The fictional Jack Reacher has an excellent mentality and style to his fights that should be emulated. De-escalate but when pushed be brutal, direct, and effective.
Couldn't agree more, my dad once told, I will never forget, i was kid back then, he told me the "kid version" of what u said.
"Don't start fights, be friendly, but if u have to, in defence, make one punch that counts!" .
Pretty much just don't assume the other guy is going to play fair. Everything is on the table, and that should be a factor in whether to engage them or not.
That is how I operate too, if I am going to do it I become death incarnate. Also if a large group tries to attack me than I horribly destroy the leader until he screams in agony that cripples them. Most of the time the group would run away. I am absolutely ruthless and merciless if I have to fight.
I'm not a violent guy, neither a "fighter" or someone who go towards those situations, if I can run, I'll do it, leaving the situation in anyways is always the best option, but when shit goes sideways i'm willing to give a life in order to take one, but that's the worst case scenario and there's almost every time a option to run!

Thank you for this necessary and timely upload in these tumultuous times, Dr. Phillips.
Thank you Sir.
best self-defense is distance. distance from stupid places with stupid people at stupid times
Sifu Phillips, your psychological analysis is as valuable as your self defense vídeos. I learn a lot from them. Thank you so much for both.
Intent needs to be fought with intent. If their intent is to harm you, your intent needs to be to harm them. You need to be offensive that's the one and only way to defend yourself and your loved ones in bad situations.
Exactly.
Except in most cases people like this will be vastly more capable of harming you. Almost a guarantee in fact. Unless you have a gun or are lucky enough to be an absolute god of fighting. Your intent matching theirs only works if you have a guaranteed way. And many people get killed because they are dumb enough to TRY and match intent when they're far from capable. And no, some martial arts training won't be super effective against someone who's been street fighting their entire lives or is completely willing to kill.
Absoulutely love your channel, your insights into the mental side of self defence are second to none. You truly need to expand your schooling towards north america. The fact you go beyond techiques and training is amazing considering this day and age of (easy self defence)
Please keep up the sharing of knowledge.

There's nothing wrong with not taking shit from anyone. Be the nice guy but don't let people disrespect you
That's pretty stupid. Dont let anyone disrespect you?! So what are you going to do? Kick every one's butt because they looked at you with disrespect? If that's your philosophy, you're an idiot and will die because of it.
Agreed...I always say - "Don't confuse my kindness for weakness". Oh...another..."Don't let your size make a fool out of you"! Cheers...
🤟
The thing about the streets. Is you must look at everyone as being highly dangerous. And this is how you absolutely have to think about every situation.
Because of the fact, you don't know how dangerous the person is in front of you. You have to treat them like they are highly volatile and dangerous.
There's absolutely no room for a conscience, when defending yourself. Or even any kind of passion at that moment.
You fight as though your life depends on it! With everything you have! Bring out that killer instinct! Because your life just may in fact depend on it.
My philosophy always has been, and always will be. Treat every conflict with high aggression. That is the only true way to survive.
There's plenty of time to feel bad about it. After your life has been saved, and you're still walking around alive.
The old saying is. If you can walk away then do it. Problem is, most of the time that isn't possible.
@Nigel Shepherd yes true, some people are just out looking for victims. So the important thing, is to not look like one. In other words. Walk with confidence, not cockiness but confidence.
Stay alert, and always check your surroundings. Remember, the bad people on the street looking for trouble. Usually have a plan for the attack.
So it's important that we train our minds to be ready, and have a plan ourselves. Get a friend and practice different scenarios. Do that a lot! So that it becomes like muscle memory.
Now there are instructors out there. Who do not believe, that you can train and plan for altercations. But I beg to differ with them.
Practicing Street altercations with someone. Will always give you an edge. Over someone who doesn't practice or train at all. At least then, you'll have some idea what to do.

I knew a guy playing the tough guy hustler that tried to hustle some real psychopaths and he ended up taped to a chair surrounded by plastic , 3 men and a chainsaw! Honor , RESPECT ,awareness and training are my best defense against those type people but you never know what tomorrow might bring.

I found the eye contact one is huge. Not sure if I would of been kidnapped but I feel I have avoided many problems by not making eye contact with someone who gives the vibes they are fucked up. At the same time I am also keeping a keen awareness about the person, not pretending they are not there incase they still come at me.
"Its not the violence that sets a man apart, its the distance he is prepared to go"
90% of the population have no clue how far and what they are prepared to do because most people have never even been in an actual fight; where they have been hit or hit someone for real to protect themselves.
I have been few times in fight, but to be honest i dont like that at all. Because i dont want any problems. But once agaun, if snyone try to hurm my 2 people in my family i would make sure they never breath again. Thats simple. I dont ask for problems, i dont want problems but i would harm badly whoever want to do some bad things to me because of stupid reasons. ❤️❤️❤️

Wow, thank you!
Situational awareness or presense of mind, quick physical reactions or reflexes, mental strength or toughness, composure or self-confidence, resourcefulness, the instinct or the will to fight back and defend yourself, knowing when to fight back or when to just run away as fast as you can, avoiding people places and situations that potentially lead to heated altercations or violent encounters, and your martial arts/fighting/self-defense skills and techniques (if you have any or some) which you have spent long periods of time practicing and training, can drastically increase your chances of successfully defending yourself and surviving violent self-defense encounters. Speaking based on my personal experience as a self-defense practitioner.

Lol 00:16 I don't know if they forget or if its the lack of willingness to hurt another person but time and time again civilians fail to use their vehicles to run a threat down. I see cops and hardened criminals, and snapped people use their vehicles more often as weapon than victims in selfdefens
Another brilliant video spot-on yet again you're covering the right stuff keep it up🙆
I've dealt with this type of guys before. The best thing you can do, get really loud, really hostile, really fast. They more times than not, will go away. Like said, opportunsts.
Grab the hood and draw it down so he cant see and you have control and can do many moves from there, the danger about those types is that they often are many, they only attack if they outnumber you because they are cowards.
Not necessarily... The majority of serial killers move in silence and by their lonely. And it is very hard to see those type coming, sadly.. always stay alert 🙏🏻

Another great upload full of down to earth practical advice. Thanks.
Thank you
ICE!
Awareness = true living
Rule #1; Expect the unexpected - (Be prepared for any and everything if possible.)
Rule #2; Analyze, think and then move - (Read the situation, know what you're up against, and then act accordingly.)
Rule #3; Know your limits - (Know what you are capable of)
Situational awareness, the cornerstone all else is built upon.
I remember one occasion as I left a club in Cardiff when I was about 18 years old. Suddenly I was confronted by 3 dudes who adopted an aggressive stance, while I merely stood on the spot and didn't say anything, but what I did do was to confidently survey the 3 of them and sort of gave out a vibe that I wasn't afraid. Suddenly their stance broke and they backed down and walked off, as did I.
A strange confrontation that was all about body language and attitude.
In regards to violent situations. Having big balls can save your life, but can also get you killed. Most of the time if you remain calm and relaxed, before the encounter. It will actually intimidate the predator a bit. That you may have play or trick up yourself, he miscalculated on.
A technique from Rory Millers book "meditations on violence" (witch is really good) called big dog, another one littel dog (witch i`ve used once on a guy trying to start a fight), he got alot of good advice.
Long time fan. I've watched a lot of your videos, but this particular one is the most useful and important to watch. I'd really like you to go in depth on tools for building situational awareness, observation and avoidance skills.
I absolutely enjoyed the way you presented this video.

Always be aware of your environment
Great Dr here who can make sense of what he knows
Dr. Mark thanks for putting this up. Interesting on many different levels- these guys have managed to do enough mental gymnastics to justify (to themselves) victimizing other people and committing crime. I suspect they have a notion of the world as a jungle, they see themselves as an apex predator and other people exist only to get them what they want. It is their fault for being prey....There are a lot of holes in this very limited perspective and it's convenient for them to ignore that. If they are incarcerated for long periods of time, that is definitely an opportunity to think it through. Also interesting that he does seem to have some notion of things being not quite right- the sadness he spoke of may be an idea that he is missing some information. He does seem to know that there are consequences for these kind of choices and seems to feel that he is past the point of any return from it. Not only is law enforcement looking for him, (in theory) the other members of his own cartel could take him down, plus other cartels could kidnap him and torture him to death. I have no idea how you could sleep. But they can be the hero of their story for a little while until the morgue or prison.....If what you respect and value is money, power, violence, this will be a powerful magnet for extremely bad Karma. As a spiritual person, I can barely imagine the consequences in store for this guy....a very very long journey ahead at best. And yes, part of the solution to the problem of crime is to be a harder target. Probably not just one or two day workshops but more like a semester of undergrad coursework at the minimum.
I assess everyone as some kind of threat .. underestimating people will get you hurt and or killed .,
Sometimes when someone says that they are not going to hurt you and just want money it's because they want you to relax and drop your guard so they can control the situation and deliver more harm to you.
Facts!
Not really, in most cases like this they already have all control. This statement is most often a sign that you can escape the situation if you comply. Even if it's just a trick there isn't any point to it. If am kidnapped and you plan on killing me after I comply then am dead if am kidnapped and I don't comply then you can kill me anyways.
I supposed if the kidnapper doesn't have any control they would say this to get you drop your guard. Like lets say you locked yourself somewhere and they want you to come out.
What you said about committing fully when faced with violent offenders is true. I find it hard to commit to hard sparing sessions or going hard in martial arts drills as I always practice restraint on my partners. This in turn makes me think I would hesitate in life threatening situations
I think tabata drills are great for that, with a heavy bag or a red man. Of course you cant break joints and destroy faces during that drill, but you can train to bring that intensity
Sparing (sadly) should always be done with taking the sting out. But indeed, use other means to practice your skills while really ampting up the killer inside of you. Also, do this daily, choose what you will do and what you'll be like when the moment happens. Mentally prepare yourself by visualising the scenarios over and over again. I truly believe that repeated mental visualisation of how you inflict violence on an attacker is superior over just beating the bag. If you don't visualise yourself to be a psycho aga8nst another human, you might freeze when you really get attacked by another human. You hard punches against the back must be (mentally) directed at a human, not a bag (hope that makes sense), so you use them accordingly.
Being bullied from a young age, it took time to build confidence in my own abilities. After i had squared off with a few of them & came off ok, i developed from there. Now in my 50's, aware of my own strengths n weaknesses, i am always situationally aware, viewing my home, life & location from the outside in. Thinking like a predator with no boundries, i see the potential weak points around my home, family & self.
My home is semi rural with livestock. A potential threat is always on my mind. With the use of white electric fence tape mounted high along the property fenceline & warning signs, it reduces the opportunistic attempts. If they are not put off by the wire & gain access, i have purposefully made their exit difficult with barbed wire & strong stainless bird spikes secured along all solid fencelines & entry gates to make it difficult to climb over,. Doing this i successfully funnel any potential threat directly to a highly lit & camera observed area.
Due to mobile device alerts, i am already aware of them & from my vantage point i can see what i am dealing with to gauge whether to confront, shoot or watch them struggle for their own freedom. A great static defence.
This pre-emptive set up works & has been tested thanks to potential thieves who now know better. I learnt while in the army a basic saying... The 6 P's. Prior Preparation Prevents a Piss Poor Performance. Think like an elite forward observer, be ready for anything yet minimise it's actuality. Engage on your terms, not theirs.
That woman's initial awareness in the video is quite fast and highly concentrated. Her quick reaction may show how dangerous that area is.
One thing you have to know about kidnappers in Mexico, most of them have regular jobs, police to be more precise.
My wife I Japanese. She had no situational awareness at all. So every time we were out and there was a sketchy guy, or the hairs on my neck told me there was danger I would point it out to her. I would ask there is possible danger right now, what is it? Eventually she would scan the people for the potential danger. It took longer to teach her to be aware of other things like intimate objects that might point to danger. A van driving around the parking lot repeatedly;y with no windows. She also has learned to not be timid when being approached. And yes, calculate an escape route... You videos are a breath of fresh air in the onslaught of hilarious teachers who want to teach you techniques that will get you killed. I just saw a classic video of a guy going after the robbers gun. He has a hold of the guy and is trying to control the gun arm. The robber steps back slightly and rips his gun hand free and shoots the guy in the top of the head. Here in San Francisco a few years ago a guy who owned a dojo (of what style doesn't matter) he is coming home from the dojo wearing his gee. Or some clothing that represented his dojo. After the altercation while driving they come to a light and he gets out and walks up to the offending driver, but before he can utter a word, Bam. Shot in the face... dead.
I get in that vehicle, not only am I dead but my family will never recover my body. Always fight. Your worst case is what will happen if you dont.
The part about staring is very important. If men stare at each other it is a very good tell that you are dealing with trouble. If someone stares at you it's a big tell. Let them know you see them but them break contact and move on.
It is so unfortunate that watching your channel is necessary today. I have extensive boxing and some MA training and I have had relatively minor problems in my life requiring self defense. That changed about two years ago. Today, self defense and situation awareness are important and necessary skills. I enjoy your channel because you discuss the intelligence required for good self defense.
This was great!! Going to watch more!

I've met this type, and have never been targeted by them. I don't go looking for trouble but if it finds me, it makes me angry instead of fearful. Sure I get the adrenaline rush, but I will tend to turn that into sheer cruelty. I am only 5'11" and 150 lbs. But if I am fucked with my size doesn't matter, all bets are off and I am simply focused on the enjoyment of inflicting as much damage as I am able and get it done as fast as possible. In other words, Zero to 100 in a split second, reasonable and agreeable to irrational and overwhelmingly violent in the blink of an eye.

The best vid of yours I've seen.
Awesome video! Real talk, real shit! Thank you.
Absolutely I learned that the hard way. We train boxing in the park and comes one guy who has so fragile ego that he just goes all out in the training. And I decide to see if he is still a thrash, so I invite him into a round. We start the round and he is like that mentality for dominance in the beginning. I just smile and stay calm but at one point I gave him a warning and he doesn't listen. So I decide I had enough, didn't get enough sleep and now this. So I try to knock him out. Didn't worked but I just realized with some people you have to be a fckin monster they don't understand from anything else. From that day on I realized that you have to be like them in that manner. When attacker comes and wants to treaten your health you will have to threaten his. But just be calmer I that manner. While doing it. And also we require situational awareness to be able to be really effective and not panic and do that to someone who is just into joke or a friend.
Thanks for the content
This happened to me a few months ago... 3 Bad guys. You can take leap of fate or face them. Could I have taken them unarmed - yes. If the were armed - NO. I might have died. Who knows... From what I have seen. The survival rate of these encounters is 10%.
I agree with you.
When I tell people to stop saying that other people's feelings don't matter and to care about how others feel, I do so because, in my opinion, if you say the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time and you get punched, stabbed, or shot in the face, you got what you deserved. However, I am not defending violent actions as the right thing to do; rather, I am arguing that such violent actions are entirely understandable and it was an avoidable situation.
In Mexico, this advice only goes so far. If a person is targeted by the mafia pretty much nothing can, or ever will be done. Felix Batista QED.
Great info thank you !!!
Physicality is always the pre determination of a man's strength and sustainability but it is the mind which is stronger in both cases.

Watch the movie with Denzel Washington!
Great video. Very important to understand that real violence isn't like you see on tv. Its guys like the one in the video that people think don't exist. WRONG!
Also to add simply dont look like a mark! Big or small walk head up shoulders back and a Idgaf look on your face. They want easy quick targets! Present yourself as aware and capable!
When you fought and trained for over 15 years (muay thai and mma) people tend to avoid you.
I just feel myself exited and calm when shit start hitting the fan. Call me a weirdo....
Even in school when I was a kid people were like... lets not mess with the Russian foreign kid.
Just go to a local club and start training ... it will help you alot in life.
Not only for fighting but for understanding human interactions BEFORE shit hits the fan.
I tend to avoid "situations" but when needed might aswell bang the party.
Being middle aged and unable to fight the good fight any more... I chose to turn to my skill from a lifetime of training which in-turn made me a Grand Master of "Ching Pow".
When a young man pulled his pistol on me.. I took note when he worked the slide that the semi auto's chamber was empty and called him out on his unloaded gun... after a talk with the young man.. we parted ways .. him a bit smarter and likely to spend much more time with his newborn son.
sir ,am a girl and i want to learn how to defend myself as u know am an easy target ,so my question is theres a big hole of phesycal strenght between me and the potential attacker how can i get over it or avoid toe to toe fight ,am really looking for your advices ad tips plz answer
Well you can't avoid it because when you're dealing with experienced kidnappers, it is only a matter of time before they manage to catch you by surprise.
A relative of mine who was 205 cm and weighed around 115 kg and with exceptional strength, probably as strong as 3 dudes, got into a fight with some teenage thug that was involved in organized crime, the fight was over nothing other than my relative looking for trouble and so he threatened the kid because he felt disrespected, unfortunately for him there was no indication of what the kid was involved in so within a period of 6 months they organized an ambush where a group of 9 of them caught my relative off guard when he was coming from a late shift as a senior security officer.
Even if they hadn't caught him off guard he would not have stood a chance since it were 9 dudes and most of whom were not scrawny dudes like that kid, they dragged him to the roof of an apartment and threw him down, as you can imagine he did not survive the fall.
So you're best bet is to train your stamina so that when you make a run for it, you can outrun whoever is trying to kidnap you, trying to fight back when it's an entire group of experienced dudes is very risky and even if you were to be armed, if they are experienced then they will never approach you from the front where you expect it, just like how they got my relative despite his stature and strength, he was caught off guard and got overpowered, simple as that.
"There's always a sadness in me."
Well, yes, because you're going to face God one day for what you've done. I'd honestly rather die in the holocaust than face what you have to face.
Maybe something to think about - a lot of these folks are VERY religious and believe in a god. There’s just no way of knowing or demonstrating whether you are more or less right in stating that they’ll “face god” one day or that’ll be a bad time for them.
@@aaronh.8230 Satan believes in God saying these idiots believe too is ridiculous, they don't serve him and therefore they don't know him, don't lump the wicked in with the righteous
In the what? The fake?
@@tombillard5264 - how do you know what Satan knows? How do you know that something like Satan exists? How do you know what is “righteous” or not?
Maybe start asking yourself those questions
@@tombillard5264 Well said. in the old testiment the righteous went to war against the enemy and were given victory again their enemy. i see a paradox with "Christians" in the new testiment supposedly mean't to be doormats and take everything thrown at you without flinching ...
Good speech brotha’
As an mma fighter your only getting a fair fight one place and that’s in the cage, my best advice as a pretty damn good fighter is eyes testicles throat in that order, screw anything fair, if you have keys or literally anything sharp on hand go for their eyes or above their eyes so the blood runs down, you can either run move onto the next attacker or pummel the single attacker as he is now blinded by the blood in his eyes, if you can kick them in the testicles do so as hard as you can, if they grab you, grab them harder, the throat is a lot harder to strike successfully but if at any point you can land a solid throat shot you just need to wrestle with them until the lack of oxygen starts to affect them it won’t take very long but you do need to hit it pretty hard, also if they are shirtless the diaphragm, the area between the chest and the abs, a good 3 inch sized pocket everyone has can be the quickest way to take some one down, one good shot and your likely to have them throwing u o blood all over you, the best defense is also preparation, idc how much of a goober it makes you feel like you should spend 5-10 minutes shadow boxing before you shower or something, just a dedicated 5-10 minutes of going through scenarios in your head and boxing them out, if your going to try to defend yourself with something sharp, practice with that for 5-10 minutes a day, and never be afraid to run or call the cops idgaf, I know I’ll smesh 99% of people on this planet 1v1 because I’m going to use every tool I have available to survive and I’d still say that’s our best option, take the risk out of the equation and get somewhere safe or get the cops to you, anyone can slip and fall and lose a fight it doesn’t matter how good they are take the chance out of the equation if possible and dip!!!
A person just has to realize and except the fact that there's some bad bad people out there.
Big talk from someone hiding behind a mask. He’s very lucky.
Defence usually only slows down the attack a bit. Attack back - harder - and stop/turn off the attacker(s) totally..
amazing video, very informative
Violence is not always proportional, one of the biggest regrets I have is I grew up homeless as a child product of my environment & spent 25 years being cool with people once I escaped that I'm also severely disabled so I play the happy go lucky cool guy ignoring my past until someone tried to rob me and my mates who are just normal people on a bus I went a bit sick and ended up taking digits off with his own weapon & and a left eye as a trophy quite happy about it while it was happening (I was admittedly born with a screw loose I enjoy combat but I'm disabled so I don't put myself in those situations generally) no one's ever looked at me the same since that day & I wish they hadn't witnessed that side of me.
