Guy I use to train with when I started training I asked him does it hurt when u get hit. He said, yes, of course it does, but I'm not gonna let it stop me
Your videos always give me nerves/anxiety, where as other self-defence vids don't. The reason being the scenarios you present feel credible and your advice feels applicable. I find myself visualising the encounters and responding in a genuinely useful way. Definitely the sign of a great presentation.
Yeah I get a little adrenaline spike in these videos of his too, like you say it feels real, gritty and raw, unlike many self defense vids where it feels all Disney and perfect world scenarios.
Yes, and filming this in a stairwell adds to the realism. Nobody is likely to have a real fight in a dojo. Thieves like to hide in blind spots like stairwells.
Your comment also reveals an important aspect of human psychology. Our bodies cannot tell the difference between imagining a scenario and reality. The same chemicals and anxiety is produced. An important point as imagining a combat or stressful altercation can condition automatic responses and dealing with the experience of adrenaline and fear.
This video is vastyl underrated and of supreme importance. Even people who learn self-defense martial arts loose physical conflict situations because they are stuck in the mindset of "I don't want to hurt anybody". If you're being attacked, you must be willing to hurt, cripple, maim, even kill...or accept that you'll end up bleeding out on a stretcher. No ammount of technique you might learn in a self-defense club will safe you if you are not willing to go all out. Mindset is the most important thing you can learn.
You have to think of it kind of like military doctrine. As soon as you take contact (get attacked) you have to immediately establish fire superiority (fire back) and get aggressive as possible, either pushing out of the ambush zone/killbox (close into the clinch) or find cover (create space and get away, ideally with joint destruction on a leg). The only defense is to go offensive and end the threat as hard, quick, and efficient as you can. Taking the time to second guess may be all the time you ever get, if you ever get it. Don't waste it on debate or feelings. He fucked around, show him the find out.
@@tearstoneactual9773 And even after you have time to think, don't feel guilty if you do maine or kill the attacker. They have chosen to attack, you never chose to be attacked. The blame and consequence are the attackers to bear.
I like the fact that he politely beats up his student. The idea is I am not here to bully you but a physical confrontation is going to hurt. Get used to it!!!
In our training, 30+ years ago, we were taught: 1. The 'proper' ways to fall. 2. How to take 'blows'. 3. How to acknowledge pain and push through. Only then were we allowed to proceed to fighting techniques.
All of that is nonsense. Is your learning to take a low from a bat going to help? No. What about a blow from a knife? No… There’s a reason it was 30+ years ago. You’re not pushing through a stab wound or a concussion either. People need to stay within reality and not movies. Street fights don’t have rules.
@@Lion-O-Richie2040 I agree. I'll try to expand a little on my statement of "taking a blow." If you practice getting hit you can learn how to work through the surprise, shock and pain. If you, as you say, receive a concussion. Well then put back on your helmet and get back onto the field. That last part was sarcasm/joke just to be clear.
Maybe two things I'd add: 1. If you can't get inside down the centerline, consider that most people are right handed. One step circling to your right (their left) and you've made it harder for them to put a dominant hand strike on you. You've also exposed their lead leg to a kick, sweep, or edged weapon attack, or, freed up your dominant hand to draw a firearm. 2. Smile and stay busy, don't get into a clinch.
Agreed, left hand can be used to eye poke as they charge in as well when you circle. Just keep outstretched fingers and they'll do the damage themselves
Great comment - but you did miss the other half of this: train your left. A lot of brawlers know exactly what you said, and will be looking to confound you as much. Train off-hand twice as much as your dominant hand and get used to countering equally as well.
Pure gold again, Mark. Perhaps TH-cam won't let you come right out with it, but you perfectly set up a scenario for winning a life or death fight...attacking throat and eyes with total aggression.
Now, I don't know the statistics, however, I suspect many people who initiate a fight aren't 100% committed to it, and if you respond with 100% commitment, they won't want to continue. And if they are the 100% committed attacker, you need that 100% commitment immediately to have the best chance at surviving.
I was fortunate enough to have been trained by Sifu Mark Philips at his school in Wood Green. The training gave me the confidence and ability to deal with violence and aggression at work. Every time I deal with a situation and reflect at the end of it, I always think about him and how grateful I am to him for what he taught me. I haven’t trained for a few years due to family commitments but considering starting again soon. Thank you so much Sifu, you are the best 👊🏽
Nick really is a great sport about it all. Clearly, he loves doing this as much as Mark does and God bless him for taking all the knocks and bumps and slaps and punches...
He's spot on. I get caught on that second hit, the right cross when I don't anticipate it and go into protect mode. Ex amateur here. Took many right crosses. He explains the defense really well. Takes practice. 1:15 mark. I ate a lot of those second punches before I learned what he's teaching. Again spot on. 2:37 is the key
Been in my share of fights and I've noticed I usually just stay in attack mode. You can't be afraid to take a hit even though obviously you'd rather avoid it. You also shouldn't over think it and rely more on your instincts/reflexes
I didn't get 30 seconds in before screaming yes!! Just remember the punches you get are going to hurt . You gotta shake it off and protect yourself. I'm a girl and don't know how to fight, but I will head but you knowing I gotta shake off the pain and run. And if you are on my heels, I drop HARD to the ground and you will flip over me to the point of no return. Shake off that pain and be GONE ! I got away more than once with these moves😅
Was taught at a martial arts clinic by a Filipino blackbelt to drive my fingers to the back of the eye sockets. I was young, he said this is not for the school yard, this is only for criminals.
@@fightscience If you've got thumbnails you might not even need to drive them so deep to inflict a 'vision kill' on an opponent. Just opening up a cut that close to the eye will probably draw enough blood, not to mention the psychological impact.
Silat and Kali teach a finger jab to the eyes then destroy targets of opportunity, but these are for drastic situations where blades are also involved. 🤔
In most “street fights” as long as it’s one on one, I find a much better tactic is to block, step back, Bob and weave a bit, basically letting your attacker “gas out” it gives you a little bit of time to gauge if they can fight and their level of fitness. 99% of people will “gas out” really fast in a street fight. You can’t breathe you can’t fight.
Love love love! Self defence is so different to fighting…. You don’t know you’re a fighter until you have fought and fought again and again… I love the blend of self defensive techniques and fighting blocks and strikes… excellent as always…. People are often so shocked at the initial violence involved… I was always taught to meet violence with more violence xx
This is very good, but one thing I'd add from experience is when you push the head down like that, the opponent will likely go for your hips and attempt a throw or take-down.. especially if you are the smaller one. So, be ready for that.
The thing is, most fights are not always fist fights, if I have to fight, I use my feet a lot in fights because I wear steel toe cap boots, & I always go for the knees & ankles first, they can't fight, if they can't stand. js
Nick is a good actor! He’s trying real hard to keep a straight face, & manages not to laugh! He’s also learning more than everyone else by being there in person!lol
One point you don't mention is that if you're pushing his face, his upper body is following it backward, and that completely steals his ability to throw an effective strike. Also potentially gives you an opportunity to bounce him off things, which is something I always look for.
I won my last fight by a hundred yards. But seriously if you are up against a bully boy, you can avoid a lot of blows simply by ducking or side-stepping. If he pushes you, pull him. If he pulls you, push back. The more energy he uses, the more he will be off balance. Your objective is not to stay and be hit but to get out of here ASAP!
Yes, that scenario is also a possibility. But then I could say that my mates would then take care of his mates. There are many instances of one-on-one combat, particularly with so many people with mental health issues or opportunistic crime. The philosophy of going on the offense and fighting back, in addition to being able to absorb punishment, is still good, realistic and valid.@@4legsgood
4:17 keeping your attacker's head down is an interesting technic to avoid hits in your head. Just gotta be careful the dude doesn't go for your balls. Great vid, man.
Excellent knowledge, wisdom, and enlightenment here. I witnessed a fight, where the defender was able to counter his aggressor's strikes, with strikes of his own. And to his face. This guys hands were just THAT fast. His timing was out of this world. He HAD to have been a Boxer in another life, or simply had training in his youth. Thx for posting, definitely loved watching. 👊🏽😄
Great banter here , Love it 😊... as always great advice for people that are handy but also those who do lack the confidence. These are the videos to watch 😉
sorry nick had me rollin...nick you need a raise...i think the going rate for punching bags is in the 20's not the teens ...stay strong nick..lol... love your content.. just hit liked ..these times are getting more violent and i appreciate your tips advice and training vids thank you for your content and thank you nick.
Very smart indeed I love your content because your scenarios are not just T-Posed dummies. All of them flow and work as if you are in an actual fight and very applicable to situations. #FightBoss
You'll probably never read this Nick, but your videos have saved my life, and if you ever stop, it will result in someone getting hurt. Thanks for everything
all i would add to this excellent vid is centre line is the most important aspect of a confrontation. what wasn't explicity said is not only the aggressor's centre line but your own centre line. if you keep your own centre line relative to the aggressor, attacking inside or outside are equally effective. depending on the angle, attacking the centre line outside reduces the aggressors ability to hit you by 50%. training these scenarios repeatedly builds muscle memory so when you find yourself in a real situation you will react instinctively.
I’ve read a few of the comments and also feel your presentation gives us rookies a good sense of what to expect and how a better response looks like. Thank you
I also came to this conception few years ago - cover face and coming onward in close distance. Thank you. I really enjoy watching your movements and sequence of movements, when you do it in full speed.
I want to say a big HI and a THANK YOU to Nick. Obviously, he's not the guy we're here to watch but dammit, he does great job for precious little thanks and I strongly suspect, little or no money. Cheers Nick old son, you're a fucking LEGEND.
4:16 This is difficult cause in order to get the opponent in this position holding his head you need to be very strong. I've seen men joking around trying to use force to pull heads down, most of them can't do that cause the opponent is too strong and he's not allowing their head to be put down in this position just like that. Unless you catch him by surprise or you're way stronger than he is!
First time I’ve watched one of these videos and at one point I thought “that looks a little wing chun” and then I saw a mention in the bio. Good to know some of that inside style street fighting does have its use.
Everybody wants to learn how to fight but it's also important learning to take a hit & not let it defeat you
Maybe learning to tolerate pain may be useful
YUP
That's why (proper) sparring can really help you. Learn to take a punch, not being afraid of getting hit, learn to still be functional with punches flying at you. Something you can only learn from exposure.
Been hit plenty in practice... a couple times was unable to fight back, broken ribs one time an a knee another...
Guy I use to train with when I started training I asked him does it hurt when u get hit.
He said, yes, of course it does, but I'm not gonna let it stop me

I find myself visualising the encounters and responding in a genuinely useful way. Definitely the sign of a great presentation.
Yeah I get a little adrenaline spike in these videos of his too, like you say it feels real, gritty and raw, unlike many self defense vids where it feels all Disney and perfect world scenarios.
I hope you train in martial arts or else all that visualising is going to go down the drain once you get in a real fight 😂
Yes, and filming this in a stairwell adds to the realism. Nobody is likely to have a real fight in a dojo. Thieves like to hide in blind spots like stairwells.

This video is vastyl underrated and of supreme importance.
Even people who learn self-defense martial arts loose physical conflict situations because they are stuck in the mindset of "I don't want to hurt anybody". If you're being attacked, you must be willing to hurt, cripple, maim, even kill...or accept that you'll end up bleeding out on a stretcher.

It is clear that Nick understands the lesson and his part in the demonstration helps us understand it too. Thanks, Nick!

Was just about to write the same, the blokes worth his weight in something..😂
Big Up Nick !!!
He's a good Man for sure,, Dr likes to get in close hahaha..
All prayers go out to Nick!!!
I'm sure he'll be happy.
That guy who is in all your videos is a good sport. He gets hit but stays in character. Good guy
Great work Nick. As usual, your response to being hit is 'on point.' You have a great partnership with Mark.
go buy a WIG and find a job.
Nobody mentions head strike on the opponents ear. That should make him stop.
Maybe two things I'd add:
1. If you can't get inside down the centerline, consider that most people are right handed.

True... but it takes a lot for the average person to drive their thumbs in so deep. Only in life or death situations will you know whether you can.
Then you chop off both arms w/bolo knife
It is extremely hard to do. People move and hit back
@@fightscience If you've got thumbnails you might not even need to drive them so deep to inflict a 'vision kill' on an opponent. Just opening up a cut that close to the eye will probably draw enough blood, not to mention the psychological impact.

@louloubydesign1926 You’re not wrong there! 😂 Thanks for watching! -Nick
Nick - always gracious when being smashed. Great work guys!
Another way is to not aim only to the head. One shot to the diaphragm can leave the opponent unable to breathe.
I agree, especially if you don’t constantly work on building a resistance to it, like you said it would take your breath away.

Wow, real fighting advice at last. I'd be leaning back and chasing arms!
I'll remember to cover up, move in, attack.
Nick better be getting paid good for taking those shots! 😂
This was really well explained and meaning for a real street fight.
bad guys carry knives and guns, bad guys are mostly in a team to feel good to beat up 5 to 1... best defence... RUN AWAY
Well it looks like being on the other end of a fight with you Mr. Phillips will definitely be a 'fukking' challenge! Truth and Word.

The wisdom and common sense is very refreshing. #fightboss
Well done Nick!

Good work!!! Wing Chun principles !!
glad you're back on this style of content lads #fightboss
