Never watched a self-defense video that actually left me with confidence in what it was teaching afterwards. This guy absolutely rules. Deserves to be a household name.
Through 6 martial art schools I knew the blocks would not work. I didn't see the simplicity in how a block would work. I have great confidence in this teaching.
Absolutely amazing video. This guy is a freight train. I really love how affective his lessons are. Back in the day I spent years of learning Shotokan and all we did was these compulsory techniques and katas that led me basically nowhere coz nothing ever happening in real life can be solved with a kata. My friend was doing judo and they were already beating the sh*t out of each other in competitions…
Even Joe rogan need to do stuff like judo and kickboxing if you want to do something more effective in fight situations Or stuff like urban combative. I've taken taekwondo for 5 years and even my teacher said half the kicks we learn for curriculum you're not going to do in a real sparring match or fight. Unless he's really dazed then go ahead and attempt a Crescent kick but not recommended lol
So great. My buddies and I practice this exact drill over and over. Cover, plunge in with spike elbow, then it’s game on. Knives are scary AF though. Our instructor says, “Inside is the hardest place to get to, and the safest place to be.” It’s true! Thx for the great lessons! The best.
Meanwhile, I trained with the two guys in this video during a seminar in Frankfurt/Germany. Michiel as Instructor and Lennart as direct training partner... amazing experience!! Humble guys with amazing energy.
I love watching Urban Combatives ,Mikael and Lee are the best teachers of real life street situations and the quickest and most effective solutions to any problems that may occur.. 👍🙏🏴
This is a real life combat defense.. hats off to you Sir... You're teaching will help a lot people how to defend their self in times of bad situations.
Great stuff.. very realistic. Really like the one instinctive reaction guard to a punch coming in.. and drill that over and over. started following you. Cheers from New Zealand brother!
Hey How are you? Hope you are doing good 👍. I just have a video request. Can you please make a video on blocking punches especially the straight punch? A punch that comes straight directly to your nose or mouth and followed by another which most times is a hook. And how to block these type of punches in a street fight? Because blocking punches when the aggressor is throwing non stop intensely is hard. So would you mind covering this in your upcoming video. Thanks.
🤣🤣🤣 Michiel you beast ! - Is that your 50% 😳 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Let's go 200% then... Michiel it is really hard to have the impact that you have, you are so damn explosive 💥💥💥💥 - Stay Blessed - - Peace - 🙏❤✌

The truth needs to be told. If you are unarmed and attacked with a knife in a situation you can't run away, some training is better none but you're going to get messed up regardless of how well trained you are. There was a good demo of this when there was several highly trained fighters who had to last just 20 seconds against someone welding a simulated knife which was a marker. Needless to say none of them walked away without multiple marks indicating they had all been stabbed multiple times.
Very nice Video-and what is obvious is the fact , that serious self defense combines defense and attack in one movement. I‘ve seen it here, UCC Hamburg has attack and defense in one move and even Wing Chun tries to attack and defend with one move, chain punches. Great work here, good explanations and also psychological things get mentioned-something very important, for every fighter! How many guys can fight in their dojo, but are paralized on the street by their fear!
I was never confident in my knees, even while watching your other videos. Kind of like "well, if he says it, I'm going to do it" and not really understanding beyond that. I see now that the knee to the groin isn't just about lifting up your enemy, it's also about pushing them back to remove their footing when they try to land. Excellent instruction.
I wish you were in the states, but because you were able to provide online courses. I am grateful and will sign up with the next paycheck. You sir, gave me more confidence in an online training course than any other ive watched.
As always, very impressive. Each and every video of yours comes across as a condensed peace of art that brings on impression and admiration. BTW, I like the balance you always maintain using the karate-like low graviti center stances. 👍
Yes, this guy is better than most videos I've seen, he keeps it simple, but there's STILL just one thing I can see, he's actually cueing the guy to throw his punch, so he KNOWS when to raise his block. MY desire is to see how to defend oneself, AFTER you've been sucker-punched and knocked to the ground from behind.
Yeah we stress test that in spontaneity training. This is just me explaining this in a seminar. Look at my stress test also on this channel. First we spin rounds until we have no idea what day it is. After that all attacks are possible..now you will find out what works or will disappear
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 in street fights and surviving other similar violent self-defense encounters. Speaking based on my personal experience as a self-defense practitioner.
i dont know if a video of this has already been created but a video on how to defend one's self if one has at least one hand occupied with something (and therefore not necessarily able to help in self-defense (say for example holding onto groceries bags, dog on leash, one or more kids and/or their school bag(s) and so on and so forth), what/how can you defend you and more importantly a potential loved one, be it a gf/wife/kid/ dog etc when one hand may not be able to do much, at least initially or at all, if youre walking the dog around the block you dont want to let go of the leash, it runs off gets hit by a car etc, same with a kid aged 3-9 years old. Groceries bag(s) you can let go of, or maybe even launch at a potential attacker but initially if/when you get attacked you'll be holding on to them and if its a surprise attack you may not have time to let go of them before the 1st punch hits you. a video on this would be highly appreciated.
really good work, i love your channel and the way you teach ! Hope you will come to teach one day in Belgium on the french speaker region ! Thank a lot sir for your work
Excellent!!! I think You have the most realistic self defense instructional videos of all. I am going to watch everything you put out. I think anybody who wants instruction should become a student of your school.Thank you for your super good instruction.
Question sir. What about the left hand. I love the block and quick move inside. On the street where weapons are used. How would you check the left hand against a knife or other weapen. I would suggest as soon as you move in wrap the the neck or head and twist the attacker to your left so his left hand gets twisted away from you.
The same principle stands. If you knee hard enough you take his balance. I would always try to grab the weapon bearing limb but that is simply not available all the time.
When he was attacking with the right hand and you grabbed him, your belly was wide open and his left hand was not being used. What if when you blocked his right hand punch and went to knee him but before that he either punched you in the stomach or used his left hand elbow to block your knee. Also in case of a full blown street fight if I'm surrounded by 10-15 guys all attacking me at the same time, what is most effective way to protect myself and fight them at the same time with force enough to knockout some of them on the first hit so that the numbers lessen ??
Great vid as ever. Its the real thing in serouse trouble. Verry usefull if you can controle yourselve. But thats the most important thing. How do you concure the fear ? How to change the fear in anger? Even strong big people freeze when the opponent yelling and looks itimidating. Can you train " fear" in " I kill you". For me its" fear " until he hurt me just a little. Better to be angry before he hit you ( in my case).
Coach Tim .. I'm a Japanese Jiu Jitsu Nidan, Japanese Jiu Jitsu is far superior in street defence as it has all the ingredients you mentioned.. as for your main point I totally agree ..it doesn't matter what your style is, don't think an opponent on the street will follow your rules or will show respect and decency, most martial artists will start with the advantage of being trained and being used to conflict but can quickly lose these advantages against a street brawler if you fight by the rules or try to work into your favourite moves. Respect to you, great content.
Hi, if the knife grip was changed to where the blade pointed downward, so the attacker intended to do an overhand down strike/stab to say the shoulder, back area. What would be the steps after the crash to deal with the knife arm please?
Hello, sir! I already asked you about Kalah once... What do you think about controlling armed arm with both of your arms (like hugging it, with putting your body weight into it), instead of reaching for shirt with one of your hands? Abolnik says that one arm control is too little, especially if agressor is very strong, sweaty etc. Thanks!

Do you not favour stepping with your right foot to the attacker's offside, particularly against a weapon, at all? That always seems to me the preferable option if possible.
Never watched a self-defense video that actually left me with confidence in what it was teaching afterwards. This guy absolutely rules. Deserves to be a household name.

Always fantastic content. Thanks for putting it out. Wish this training was available in NZ. Hope your online training is starting soon
Thanks for the kind words Dan!
Well, it is safe bet in NZ stuff very Simulator is thought. There is nothing new under the sun.
Look up Tank Todd NZ I believe he is very good in this area of unarmed combat and self defense

Thank you 🙏 for tips. I’am always learning new skills from you
I live in Queensland, Australia. Is there someone down here that you know of who teaches your knowledge? I'd love to learn these techniques.
I'm in Melbourne and I have the same question. 👍
While not exactly the same as what is being taught here, have you studied Krav Maga?
Can def see Lee's teaching method on display here. good stuff
Best content regarding self-defence you will find online.
Love the simpicity of your movement
excellent!!! live in Florida, need to learn self-defense.

Naaah this not worked over🤣 you should see how my mentor works me over!! Haha this is Combatives. Not chess. Nonetheless he deserves a beer indeed.

Great to hear! Thanks!

Yes. We call it Flanking. It’s what you do before he does anything. This is when you waited too long and he attacks you..
Very nice work against fist or stick. For knife , you ar counting on a very inept knife user..

Your self-defense technique looks like Israel's System Krav Maga but your version is much tougher and more violent. I like this.
