I am visually impaired/legally blind and am a bit confused. If you were that blind (not seeing anything at all) wouldn't you have a cane or dog? And how did she pick up the keys so easily? Yes you hear them fall but usually still have to fumble a little bit to find them.
@2 3 Witn my eyes. Blind does not mean see anything at all. Common misconseption. Most have some sight . That is why most prefer to say visually impaired over blind. Not to be PC but to clarify they have some sight. 80% of "blind" people have some sight. Some are only shadows some is central vision only. 9a certain amout of degree of loss of vision can classify you as blind) Plus adaptive tech is great. Even if I couldn't see the screen there is voice over. But why i clarified "spomeone who can't see at all" like in the video. Most people couldn't tell the difference between a short cane or long cane and their uses. Why some folk won't use a cane.
Yeah... if you're thinking about them while someone is sneaking up on you like a cartoon villain and you burst out laughing maniacally to the point that they decide they don't wanna mess with a crazy person today.
In quite a number of these the person "defending herself" actually just escalated a situation that wasn't likely to get violent in the first place. And in some she performed several escalating actions, like the whole roommate thing and the bag-bumping incident.
I was reading between the lines on the roommate one where it might actually be talking about an abusive relationship where the other person could be set off by anything at anytime, but that may be giving these videos too much credit
Yeah, I was thinking pretty much the same thing, which is pretty stupid as they could literally start every scenario with "you're being attacked" and it would be more reasonable...though if the tips are dumb, the scenarios might as well follow suit.
Situation #1: Like Seth said, she was completely safe and the phone thief did a very cool slide down the railing like I used to do when I was at school.
I work in a ”real mans’s job” (AV Engineer to be exact) and I use zip ties every single day. Releasing yourself from a zip tie with hair pin etc. is about as realistic as me stopping Seth’s hook kick with Ki-energy, throwing him down with gotegaeshi and knocking him out with Star Trek nerve pressure. I actually just now tried opening a zip tie with an electrician’s flat head screwdriver using both hands (I did not tie myself up, I’m not that fun) and it took me good five minues to do it even then. Which is why you use sidecutters to open a zip tie. There is reusable zip ties which are easier to open, but I doubt it would work even then. Also they will cut the blood circulation to your hands if tightened enough, for all of the macho men who would simply break the plastic with their enormous muscles. There’s also zip ties of several sizes and strenght, as well as ones made of metal. If you’re bound like that you’re basically fucked.
I've often got a small knife on me, which is quite inadequate (or even dangerous) to cut a decent ziptie with it. But I've used it on numerous occasions to put the tip in a ziptie head and open up the ziptie. It's safe, clean, fast, easy AND I get to re-use the zipties. Don't know about a safety pin though but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
I had a feeling the video and people you were reacting to was Troom-Troom, and I was not disappointed! Especially with how done you were so early on in the video 😂😂😂
There's a section of the zip tie that locks it and it looks like a small flap of plastic. By pushing it with an object you alleviate the pressure that is locking it in the current notches... it's just not always practical in a situation like that. More useful if you somehow fucked up putting cables together rather than if you've gotten kidnapped.
4:45 “Ay yo punk, I bet you won’t do it twice! Come here!” 😂😂😂 I’ve never laughed so hard in my entire life, 10mins of gutbusting laughter, I couldn’t stop!!
I actually have my first karate tournament in a few months but qualifying matches for nationals are soon wish me luck and I hope to compete in bjj later this year
The thing about the pocket one is that if someone is jumpy they may just assume you're going for a weapon and attack you while you're trying to grab your distraction. And if they have a knife or a gun it's game over
Regarding the Zip-Tie - yes, you can unlock and reuse them by pressing down on the little nub. That's why - if you ever have to tie s.o up with that - you want the "nub" facing away from them/ down.
Technically sure, but getting the pressure you needed to do that, from that flimsy piece of metal, you are holding between your teeth, is questionable.
@@aule10 police don't actually use zip ties because they're breakable and not really that great they have like specialized cuffs that are kind of similar in design that they do use but even those are temporary it's not like you're stopping somebody permanently or somebody that's like really amped up or whatever it's it's to make sure that you don't have to worry about somebody for a second
Tbf I've used that weird headlock thing (9:40 ) while play fighting as a "defense" for a big overhand right so it's not useless along as your attacker has no intention of hurting you and the throws it at half speed
The headlock works fine (especially if you turn it into a choke) but they were combining it with a wrist lock which is VERY hard to do and means that the headlock is less effective. Headlocks work best when you are using your other hand to add to the pressure and / or defend yourself from the other persons's efforts to escape.
Eh. If they've got a decent pain tolerance and if they have adrenaline flowing it really won't do all that much. People can get shot and not really feel it because the adrenaline just numbs the pain.
20 years ago, people thought the taser gun was the ultimate weapon, nowadays some people are capable to tolerate the pain and they have to be 3 or more police officers to grad and control another humain. Things have change
@@senbonzakurakageyoshi662 That's true. I saw a video of a bounty hunter going after a guy who didn't show up to court. He tased that guy at least 12 times just reactivating his taser over and over and the guy just wouldn't go down and kept running.
The zip tie thing is absolutely true. I do it all the time to save zipties while I'm working or if I think cutting the zip tie might damage the thing it's tied to.
I'm in construction, I have occasionally had to break all kinds of ties, it is possible that zip ties might be able to be undone with a safety pin. But like you just twist it one way, then the other and and keep doing that till it weakens, especially if it's tied in front of you. I mean straight up if a zip tie is tied in front of you, just break the zip tie.
Hey bro, I discovered your channel a few days ago and just wanted to say great content 🔥 it’s entertaining and inspirational. I just subscribed. Keep up the good work.
Another thing. Purse snatchers don’t always work alone. One can get a feel and signal to the other to make a move. Someone tried to mug me and i could see it happening because I one signal and the guy that got signal started diagonally crossing the street to cut me off so I did the same thing and cut him and punked him out. He regrouped with his buddies and started cursing in his native language. Had I let him cut me off, he’d probably make me stop to ask questions while the other two snuck up.
1: Holy armpit, sensei, that wristlock is stupid! 2: Zip ties can be busted open by putting your arms out in front and bringing them back into your body hard, it's easy. 3: ... No. 4: You could turn around and leave... 5: I mean apologising and backing down works like 90% of the time. 6: Take a real fighting course. 7: I mean, yeah, elbow sure but also shout for help. 8: So take Judo, okay. I'm sure it gets better... -.-
Half of these are: You can't win an argument? Use violence! If you do the one in the kitchen you might go straight to jail for attempted murder! It's not "How to defend yourself." More than half of these are. "How to commit assault!"
Not gonna lie I've always experimented zip ties on myself and usually the tighter it is the easier it is to snap. If it's in front of you just flex your back and make sure to clench both of your hands and just move both of your wrists outward
I've tried the regular white zip ties both long and short and the only one I had 50/50 chance to break was the thick black ones because I needed a lot of energy to flex it off
I actually have a big problem with that scene with a knee to the groin. The big problem with it is, it only inflicts pain, and no real damage. And there are a lot of people that only get enraged by pain, and not dulled, especially among the aggressive type. So never ever go for something that only hurts, it will probably just endanger you more. go for stuff that actually damages your opponent, that has an actual physical effect.
@SenseiSeth made a video where he had someone else helping him in showing the effectiveness of these techniques. I would love to see the video where Seth says to his helper "walk in front of me and try to take my bag" only to procede to act blind as the guy walks out of the room
I've been thrown to the ground with groin shots twice. I got sharp jolts of pain and panic but I was able to get up immediately. Those were clean shots though. Getting a clean shot is the most difficult part.
Clean groin shots are very similar to livershots in my experience. It doesn't hurt immediately, starts slowly and then gets worse exponentially every other second. And yes, they stop the fight! I forgot my cup for sparring once and caught an inside lowkick that went too high. I tried powering through it.... It did NOT work. I couldn't walk properly for hours, nevermind fight
Plus, even if it doesn't instantly floor a man, their first reaction is going to be to move their hands down there to protect it from additional strikes. If someone is trying to protect their groin, then they're not trying to punch you.
@@ZombiZohm Or they could just ignore the pain and keep attacking you. If some guys get angry enough pain isn't much of a deterrent. "If someone is trying to protect their groin, then they're not trying to punch you." So they could kick you, or tackle you to the ground, punching isn't the only way to inflict violence.
Fun story. In my Karate class one time, we were doing knife drills. My partner threw his knife in the air and kicked me in the the Solar Plexus when I was distracted. That kinda works. 🤷🏻
The zip-tie thing is a thing, but try doing that with a safety pin (or whatever) in your mouth. A plastic tab is what keeps the tie engaged. If you can loosen that, you can reverse the tie. Often, the tab is tight, though. Your just as likely to poke yourself with a safety pin, if you blindly try to find it, with a pin in your mouth. It takes force. A hairpin or a paperclip is unlikely to do it. It also depends on the tie, too. Some are badly manufactured, and they will be loose. Older ones might be brittle & come loose, too. Others may be a very tight fit, and unless you have something sharp, you're not going to work the tab loose. Sometimes, you can loosen the tab, by pushing the tie in a bit, then pulling it back out - rapidly. (You have to be careful, or you're just going to tighten it more.
Troom Troom are hilarious, please continue to laugh at them, it's fun. The 2 moves I liked here, is the knee to the groin, and elbow to the face. About groin attacks, there are some people who are really sensitive in the area, but I've seen some who has balls of steel. Do not count only on groin attack, continue the fight or run away. Same with elbow to the face, very good, but continue, realistically the fight is not over in one strike. Catching the hand and twist it, you got to know how to cause pain, but only an idiot will not use his 2nd hand, and would not use his legs.
The only groin attack I can remember ever practicing in my dojo, besides the obvious knee, is during a "promised fight" where you already have control of the lead hand, change level and then strike with the other hand to the groin. In most situations it's just too easy for the defender just simply turn the hips or pull back.
Like, the elbow obviously is a legit thing, but it's still bs to imagine someone who never did a single day of muay thai in their lives would be able to land a precise and powerful strike like that on a resisting opponent The knee too, if you cant even throw a single punch why would you be able to outwrestle this bigger dude into opening up his groin for a knee?
I think the idea with the pocket sand is that the mugger is telling you to give him the stuff in your pockets, so he's not on guard by you digging around in your pockets, so you can surprise him by throwing it at his face. Not sure what they expect you to do after pissing him off by ringing his bell, though. That might buy you a second or two, but unless you're Bas Rutten, it's not gonna do anything to, like, actually stop him or anything.
Stealing a phone: Worst case scenario, you’ve got an angry dude with a gun outside your door at 3am wanting their phone back. Even worse case, the person you stole it from remotely accesses it and ruins your life …🙃
i'm kind of wondering what the proper way of moving out of a hair pull is. but I think manipulating the opponent's elbow would be a start, not the wrist, (unless you go for a pinky grab to weaken the hold) also replying on the groin shot: I accidentally kicked someone in the balls during a spar, I don't remember what kick I utilized, but i'm pretty sure it was a hook kick. needless to say, he was in pain, kneeling over the floor and I was apologizing since I didn't mean to hit him there. but because when you're sparring and moving, you're more likely to miss the intended location. so it could be pretty effective in a real fight if you land a hit purposely.
The response to someone grabbing your hair, especially like that, is that they have now got one hand tangled in your hair with which they cannot defend themselves. Throw a hook punch to the side they are grabbing your hair with. If it is their right hand side, learn whereabouts the liver is located and practise throwing punches at that height so that if someone grabs you like that you can hit them with a liver shot. They will let go instantly and fold up on themselves because liver shots are a kind of pain you can't prepare for. Or step into them and use your elbow, aim for the cheekbone. Remember that a good elbow strike can cut so be careful around the eyes, unless you feel the situation is dire enough that you have no qualms with potentially maiming them for life. Or if you feel you won't remember any of that or don't want to drill it, just slap them as hard as you can in the ear.
They generally have to reach up or out to grab your hair. With your hand flat, commonly known as knife hand, jab them in their now exposed armpit. It's a soft very sensitive area that is sure to distract them Immediately follow up with punching and kicking, as always. Run away as soon as the opportunity presents itself
Yes you can shim a zip tie, you can also just break it. Also the one where she kneed the guy in the groin... she needed to shout "that's my bag, I dont know you" first.
If there is something i have learnt over the years, Simpel is better. Someone getting to close to comfort, just throw your hand at their face, dont even need to hit, he will pull back his face and get a bit out of balance and you just run away. You are just using their reflects to get away. Someone graps you? pull towards where his fingers are closing, it's a weak spot, if you got 1 hand free, pull his finger backwards, and Run away. Simple is better. Although a kick to the groan does tend to at least makes it harder to run after someone :D And frying pan to the head is potentially lethal, so dont do that.
If your hands are ziptied in front of you, you can actually just slam your hands down towards your hips and break the plastic. Sort of like board breaking where its incredibly easy to do but only if you commit to following through.
The wrist burn thing was a terribly executed center lock, believe it or not. It work really well in mannequin training. No actual wrist locks were performed that day. Zip tie trick is real. Works on most handcuffs too.
I gotta say the throwing something as a distraction really isn't bad, it's a very natural reflex for any person to try and catch things and in that time is definitely perfect to say ring their ears if you can, or maybe just run, idk very situational how it plays out from there but that's pretty solid for just an every day person when you're not Bruce Lee or John Rambo, and an item like change, your phone, wallet, whatever is not as important as your life
Good message from my trainer. Train till gokuform. Yeah. A good message. But being working and training 90% of the outsidetime nobody get the chance to meet me.
Well, in Japan they are called uguisubari (Nightingale floors), and they are there to warn you of intruders (or so the legends claim). So, this actually might save your life :D
Real tips to take away from each scenario in order 1. Your life is more valuable than your phone. Scream “he stole my phone” or something if you really want it back that badly 2. Try to de escalate the situation first using your words 3. This might actually work idk 4. Don’t act aggressively towards someone 5. Don’t walk near suspicious people 6. Hitting someone with something heavy works well 7. Just learn BJJ 8. Keep it simple stupid 9. Immoral people are immoral 10. No, just no
Ive never had my wrists ziptied but I have removed zipties like this so I wouldnt waste them. Its not that hard to do but its not as simple as they make it look, and it would be very difficult to do with your mouth especially under stress. If your hands are behind you though that would be impossible.
Escalating from "Roommate is pissed about wasted water" to "Frying pan to the head." seems totally reasonable.
To the "back of the head"... pretty bad spot to hit someone.
Gotta hate when your roommate is mad about wasting water so much that they physically attack you totally happens all the time
From a disagreement to homicide in five seconds. Great advice.
Sounds like my ex, minus the bit about water lol
Not to mention its also a pan on the stove so it’s probably extremely hot so its gonna leave a permanent mark on his head
How to be safe:
1. Pretend to be blind

Clean groin shots are very similar to livershots in my experience. It doesn't hurt immediately, starts slowly and then gets worse exponentially every other second. And yes, they stop the fight! I forgot my cup for sparring once and caught an inside lowkick that went too high. I tried powering through it.... It did NOT work. I couldn't walk properly for hours, nevermind fight
Plus, even if it doesn't instantly floor a man, their first reaction is going to be to move their hands down there to protect it from additional strikes. If someone is trying to protect their groin, then they're not trying to punch you.
@@ZombiZohm Or they could just ignore the pain and keep attacking you. If some guys get angry enough pain isn't much of a deterrent.
"If someone is trying to protect their groin, then they're not trying to punch you." So they could kick you, or tackle you to the ground, punching isn't the only way to inflict violence.
yes seth cant wait to watch this mate already know im going to crack up!
Fun story. In my Karate class one time, we were doing knife drills. My partner threw his knife in the air and kicked me in the the Solar Plexus when I was distracted. That kinda works. 🤷🏻
Its one of my favorite knife tricks.
@@williamchristy9463 it obviously works.
zip tie thing is real, there's a little plastic tab that locks on the indents on the zip tie, very easy to bypass
The zip-tie thing is a thing, but try doing that with a safety pin (or whatever) in your mouth. A plastic tab is what keeps the tie engaged. If you can loosen that, you can reverse the tie. Often, the tab is tight, though. Your just as likely to poke yourself with a safety pin, if you blindly try to find it, with a pin in your mouth. It takes force. A hairpin or a paperclip is unlikely to do it. It also depends on the tie, too. Some are badly manufactured, and they will be loose. Older ones might be brittle & come loose, too. Others may be a very tight fit, and unless you have something sharp, you're not going to work the tab loose. Sometimes, you can loosen the tab, by pushing the tie in a bit, then pulling it back out - rapidly. (You have to be careful, or you're just going to tighten it more.
Me: *doesn't notice the hole in his shirt*
Sensei Seth: Oh by the way there is a whole in my shirt
Thanks, I really needed to watch this video as I am being jumped at the moment
Troom Troom are hilarious, please continue to laugh at them, it's fun. The 2 moves I liked here, is the knee to the groin, and elbow to the face. About groin attacks, there are some people who are really sensitive in the area, but I've seen some who has balls of steel. Do not count only on groin attack, continue the fight or run away. Same with elbow to the face, very good, but continue, realistically the fight is not over in one strike. Catching the hand and twist it, you got to know how to cause pain, but only an idiot will not use his 2nd hand, and would not use his legs.
The only groin attack I can remember ever practicing in my dojo, besides the obvious knee, is during a "promised fight" where you already have control of the lead hand, change level and then strike with the other hand to the groin. In most situations it's just too easy for the defender just simply turn the hips or pull back.
Like, the elbow obviously is a legit thing, but it's still bs to imagine someone who never did a single day of muay thai in their lives would be able to land a precise and powerful strike like that on a resisting opponent
The knee too, if you cant even throw a single punch why would you be able to outwrestle this bigger dude into opening up his groin for a knee?
Zip tie works but there are much quicker ways to just snap it. I think you did a follow up on this in a later video haha
Yo love the vids
.
Someone should make a video with the same atmosphere like these but with legit techniques. Hell I wanna be part of it
Great Video Sensei Seth!
The most lifesaving quality is getting regular excersise.
Bro that last part got me excited for nothing!
I thought we were getting some wall walking punching action like Tony Ferguson shit 😭😂
YESSS PART 2!!!
Well the first one is actually not too bad, it is raising the attention on awareness, which is one important aspect of selfdefense
I think the idea with the pocket sand is that the mugger is telling you to give him the stuff in your pockets, so he's not on guard by you digging around in your pockets, so you can surprise him by throwing it at his face.
Not sure what they expect you to do after pissing him off by ringing his bell, though. That might buy you a second or two, but unless you're Bas Rutten, it's not gonna do anything to, like, actually stop him or anything.
Pleaaaasssseeee do these with icymike. I would kill to see his reactions to these!
Thank you Seth !

"People aren't that dumb ..." You really haven't been outside in loooong time ...
Stealing a phone: Worst case scenario, you’ve got an angry dude with a gun outside your door at 3am wanting their phone back. Even worse case, the person you stole it from remotely accesses it and ruins your life …🙃
i'm kind of wondering what the proper way of moving out of a hair pull is. but I think manipulating the opponent's elbow would be a start, not the wrist, (unless you go for a pinky grab to weaken the hold)
also replying on the groin shot: I accidentally kicked someone in the balls during a spar, I don't remember what kick I utilized, but i'm pretty sure it was a hook kick. needless to say, he was in pain, kneeling over the floor and I was apologizing since I didn't mean to hit him there. but because when you're sparring and moving, you're more likely to miss the intended location. so it could be pretty effective in a real fight if you land a hit purposely.
The response to someone grabbing your hair, especially like that, is that they have now got one hand tangled in your hair with which they cannot defend themselves. Throw a hook punch to the side they are grabbing your hair with. If it is their right hand side, learn whereabouts the liver is located and practise throwing punches at that height so that if someone grabs you like that you can hit them with a liver shot. They will let go instantly and fold up on themselves because liver shots are a kind of pain you can't prepare for. Or step into them and use your elbow, aim for the cheekbone. Remember that a good elbow strike can cut so be careful around the eyes, unless you feel the situation is dire enough that you have no qualms with potentially maiming them for life. Or if you feel you won't remember any of that or don't want to drill it, just slap them as hard as you can in the ear.
They generally have to reach up or out to grab your hair. With your hand flat, commonly known as knife hand, jab them in their now exposed armpit. It's a soft very sensitive area that is sure to distract them
Immediately follow up with punching and kicking, as always. Run away as soon as the opportunity presents itself
Yes you can shim a zip tie, you can also just break it.
Also the one where she kneed the guy in the groin... she needed to shout "that's my bag, I dont know you" first.
I think you greatly overestimate how valuable my life is.
Second woman comes into play.
Guy AUTOMATICALLY grabs both glasses, he's been there before!
Why are they angry at each other, not the guy?
If there is something i have learnt over the years, Simpel is better. Someone getting to close to comfort, just throw your hand at their face, dont even need to hit, he will pull back his face and get a bit out of balance and you just run away. You are just using their reflects to get away. Someone graps you? pull towards where his fingers are closing, it's a weak spot, if you got 1 hand free, pull his finger backwards, and Run away. Simple is better. Although a kick to the groan does tend to at least makes it harder to run after someone :D And frying pan to the head is potentially lethal, so dont do that.
If someone grabs you, elbow them. Then, immediately grab your prison shank 🤣
"just give away your belongings"
-someone who's never been poor
Yeah, ikr, even though your life is indeed more important.
5:22 true plus if the adrenaline's running I just go huh that kinda hurts idk just my experience
If your hands are ziptied in front of you, you can actually just slam your hands down towards your hips and break the plastic. Sort of like board breaking where its incredibly easy to do but only if you commit to following through.
The wrist burn thing was a terribly executed center lock, believe it or not. It work really well in mannequin training. No actual wrist locks were performed that day.
Zip tie trick is real. Works on most handcuffs too.
Troom-Troom really needs to learn self defense from Master Ken. Not one time, did Troom-Troom restomp that groin.
I gotta say the throwing something as a distraction really isn't bad, it's a very natural reflex for any person to try and catch things and in that time is definitely perfect to say ring their ears if you can, or maybe just run, idk very situational how it plays out from there but that's pretty solid for just an every day person when you're not Bruce Lee or John Rambo, and an item like change, your phone, wallet, whatever is not as important as your life
I've used it in sparring. Even against opponents who might expect it, the throw if timed correctly can catch them off guard, and lead to openings
Why am I in a secluded alley to begin with? I feel like there are other safer routes one could take but I live in a small town, so what do I know.
Good message from my trainer. Train till gokuform. Yeah. A good message. But being working and training 90% of the outsidetime nobody get the chance to meet me.
I love your videos sensei! They never fail to entertain me 😂👌
That one where she grabs her arm and does a guiletttene I was like thats a steven segal move.
Training on imperfect floors might actually be practiced in Okinawa...which we all know, is the birthplace of karate. ;)
Well, in Japan they are called uguisubari (Nightingale floors), and they are there to warn you of intruders (or so the legends claim). So, this actually might save your life :D
One problem is that they say to break the grip with one hand. It's hair, not an arm. Do they know how easy it is to hold on to hair?
Real tips to take away from each scenario in order
1. Your life is more valuable than your phone. Scream “he stole my phone” or something if you really want it back that badly
2. Try to de escalate the situation first using your words
3. This might actually work idk
4. Don’t act aggressively towards someone
5. Don’t walk near suspicious people
6. Hitting someone with something heavy works well
7. Just learn BJJ
8. Keep it simple stupid
9. Immoral people are immoral
10. No, just no
Yeah, BJJ and Judo are good options, at least for what’s in the video.
I feel safer after watchin this video, because I know Sensei Seth is always there to protect us from stupid "self defense tips"! =)
Hey idk if ya noticed but at 1:58 you have a whole in your sleeve.
😏😏😏😘
The real takeaway from this is that pocket sand is always the answer.
The 7nderqear snap is more likely to work than the wristlovk thing
Ive never had my wrists ziptied but I have removed zipties like this so I wouldnt waste them. Its not that hard to do but its not as simple as they make it look, and it would be very difficult to do with your mouth especially under stress. If your hands are behind you though that would be impossible.
Thanks for your comments.
See it as it is, a great comedy!
Sensei Seth and his sidekick Squeak the Floor
The funniest part of all this, is the guy has a Nate Diaz tattoo on his bicep.
"POCKET SAND!"
only thing that would have made it better is if you said GO after it 🤣
btw the ziptie hack will actually works but you need something really skinny to put in between so a hair clip wouldnt work
