The Fastest Way to End a Fight for Self Defense

Effectively ending a confrontation involves strategic positioning to disrupt the aggressor's attack. Always aim to avoid unnecessary engagement, prioritize creating distance, and look for safe exit opportunities. If physical force is unavoidable, swiftly move into a position that hinders their attack. Avoid rushing in hastily, as it can lead to errors; precise timing, coupled with relaxed alertness and decisive action, is crucial. The video focuses solely on demonstrating how to achieve a position of control. Once established, targeting vulnerable areas such as the eyes, throat, or groin can temporarily incapacitate the aggressor, providing an opportunity for a safe escape.

That green belt has some good knowedge for his grade. Fair play to him and he is able to convey what he is trying to show very well. Good man!

[@InstinctDefenseAcademy]

Yes he was promoted to Black belt shortly after this video. This was actually part of his test.

@@InstinctDefenseAcademy I thought this was Self Defense? How can you have a black belt in self-defense? In what martial art is he, or any of them, supposed to have any belts?

[@InstinctDefenseAcademy]

Technically self defense is just a legal term. We are ranked in the art of Bujinkan Budo. The warrior arts of the Samurai. Part of this system is women’s self defense.

Thank you! Cheers!

This seems smart but very nuanced, I doubt many could do this live without a lot of actual work

[@InstinctDefenseAcademy]

This was part of his black belt test. He was required to explain a specific principle. So it’s very nuanced on purpose.

[@giugiu3447]

Yes, spot on. When I used to work the doors or security work or someone was trying it on, i used to do similar things.
Keeping it simple

[@capnpugwash5016]

Interception techniques look good and make sense in the kwoon/ dojo but don't always work in the chaotic heat of a real fight. Practice these techniques always keeping your guard / hands up to protect you face and body, learn western boxing or muay thai footwork, and pressure test these techniques in a realistic fight situations. Otherwise against an average seasoned fighter you are just gonna get knocked out.

[@InstinctDefenseAcademy]

Very good points!

Idk, he's pushing around a guy that is shorter and is the same weight or less. Would this work on a guy 25-50 heavier and/or wrestling background. What happens when dude gets double legged in a split second... Seems kind of Sus...
