One of the best videos I've seen on this subject. No bs, lots of options and not explaining the details of each technique for minutes. Very good to show the training drills as the end too for people to practice.
I subscribed because the fact that you use different systems to address a problem. Most people like to think that bjj is everything and everything else is not good enough. I myself like to think that many martial arts have something to offer. We as a martial arts community need to help each instead of bashing each other. Thank you for the video i will be adding some of these ideas to my curriculum.
Sifu, Jenn always attacks you before you're ready to start the video. If you're in trouble, just wink your left eye in the next video. LOL Great stuff man!
I really like the first version (at 2:40 ) that you introduce. (Kali) One disadvantage I see personally in the tight cover blocks is - they offer tight protection but let your opponent "Punch away" and use you as punching bag. A powerfull hook punch can really rattle your brain *through* the cover. Your version of using your right hand for counter momentum and stopping her punch/arm really makes up for the initial disadvantage IMO I like it :D
I like this kind of training. I'm biased to the Filipino Kali, but I like several of the other ones too. Personally, I would probably end up mixing all these together during more pressured training, so it's always a good idea to train several different ideas.
11:55 Yes, we tend do use what we feel most comfortable with. But have more skillsets in the repertoire does offer more options when needed. Still, we need to build up muscle memory first.
@@SifuAlanBaker its 2500 years older than Filipino martial art... Kalaripayattu is not just some random body conditioning exercise... its a war martial art... it has a number of weapon art In it (a famous one is Urumi Sword which is a flexible sword)... if possible just do one video on that too... people know about kungfu and karate (which are heavily marketed) and all, but what they don't know is they were originated from Kalaripayattu when an Indian monk went oversees and taught a derivation of this art... i literally feel this martial art hasn't got that exposure which it needed
Why is it whenever an expert gives a demonstration on how to block punches, it's always against haymakers or hooks? Never against a series of Karate style straight punches coming at you. I mean never. I guess they're too hard to block.
Man, it makes me sad all these systems coming out, but it's always demonstrated with one person going faster than another in such an unrealistic way. It's trying to prepare people for real life situations I get that, but nobody knows in this and most systems if it will work..So much of this is very unrealistic, I'm sorry to be that person. People shouldn't be teaching to block a hook or haymaker by just standing there and putting your elbow up covering your head. One hard shot even to the arm, under arm, if it slips through, or just opening up your ribs and stomach is too risky. Then another comes, and another, and to the stomach..That should be last resort as defense. Just like some of the attacking with hands on head charging. This isn't a good idea in a fight for nearly anyone because it's a massive invitation to get broken ribs of the wind knocked out of you by opening up the whole stomach plus legs without good vision to react..Also, it doesn't take out the opponent it just backs them up and gives them another chance. Elbows are great and I understand the concept of closing the distance, but any good fighter I think would really take advantage of some of the holes and openings. It can't handle take down, leg kicks, change in direction that quickly, and basically causes someone to be unable to defend against so many attacks honestly. I know the whole idea is to close distance, be the aggressor so the other person can't attack, but this isn't practiced in real time and real situations..Things are a lot different with total unpredictability and full speed and chaos..
Dude, seriously, He is showing "Drills" it's not supposed to be the application. You would not "just stand there and put your elbow up" when using it. In application, you would be driving the tip of the elbow into the opponent's face. And at that moment, if you are busy punching me in the belly while I turn your head into a canoe, you are doing me a favor. I will take that trade! Not to mention the fact that the man only shows a few options for a single idea or moment in time. IT'S NOT MEANT TO LOOK AT FIGHTING IN ITS ENTIRETY! My god, I feel like I'm trying to explain something to a 3-year-old.
@@themodernwarriormonk6033 Of course I know he's showing drills, that definitely didn't need to be stated. What I was saying is there are fundamental flaws in some of these methods and it 100% hasn't been put through real testing and circumstances like most things being touted as self defense. While some of it is useful I'm sure, many of these things wouldn't hold up for most people doing it.

Thank You!
This guy is really good in what he is doing. No fancy moves but short, agressive. Good self defence.
Thank You!

@@SifuAlanBaker 🤣
That's the only way to land a hit on this guy!😅
9:40 the most brutal attack followed by the barely audible evil laugh
Good ideas!!!🙏
Thank You!

9:39 shots fired lol
also the jeet kune do method is just the Muay Thai long guard. I don't know who used it first but probably Thai
There are so many options that could have gone on the list.
5:39 Oh, that's how they block in Muay Thai😮
happy holiday sir
Happy Holidays!

Agreed!
Sir can you add some wing chun practical examples?
We may be able to in the future!
I love the keyboard warriors comment!!😂😂
why no one talks about Kalaripayattu... can you do one video on that?? its from INDIA and its a old war martial art...
I do like Kalaripayattu's body conditioning exercises. They are intense. The weaponry work reminds me of Filipino Kali.

If the cops want to know what the KFM Knuckle Duster is, put some string on the sides and tell them it’s a mask🤔😑.
Looks like a massage tool to me, and it's wood, not a weapon, right？😂
I have got away with calling it. A massage tool several times, lol
@@SifuAlanBaker where can I buy one? Thanks
Just use a little flashlight.
Or a hard Dildo ;) and no cop will ask whats its intended use 😂
😀😀😀😀❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I'll add that to the outline list in the future.
You have a very beautiful wife, Sifu and you share outstanding information with very useful techniques.
Thanks!
Hey youtuba,
what is this shshshsh shshshsh shshshsh supposed to mean?
Is it the chichi coming out?
