i can see it now : tell him he should shave the nasty long hair on his right shoulder, now he is in perfect position for that knock out punch while he is looking, use your lighter to burn his nostrils while he's down so he can't find u by scent later on. go and get that belt
You can tell not one person involved in the production of this has ever been in a fight before. Like this is so far removed from reality that its hilarious
@@SenseiSeth yeah youd see all these kind of stereotypical tips on any crappy self defense program. Like very specific situations with responses that depend on everything going right with no variables
With the escape the trunk technique, I find it funny how they assume you will be somewhere where you’re free once you’re out of the trunk. What if you’re in a locked garage or in someone’s walled off yard or anywhere else where more must be done to escape once you’re out of the trunk. People open the trunk when they’re AT their destination, not on an open street where you can run a away
Yo this is why reaction videos were made. This was gorgeous. Had me cracking up for the total lack of words (Especially with the over hyped fabricated bs nowadays this really hits the spot. Thanks)
When self defense is taught in a happy manner it's already weird to me. Real self defense situations are nasty, quick and very violent. However Seth's reactions are the best😂
This is so awesome. I am totally going to show these tricks to the boys and girls around my mma course... The escapes from the choke holds seem to be super effective
Best self defence methods. 1: Get friends. 2: Get a weapon. Nobody messes with you is you are packing an Iowa class battleship. Myself I settle for the old classic. I collapse to the ground and whimper like a puppy until my attack walks away in disgust. Works well for me.
@wesley peterson well, actually that used to work pretty well in the 80 and 90. I remember when the yonkis used that to take my money. " Hey dude, give me something, I have aids and I can scratch you or bite you"
My mom took a women's self defense course once. The next time I visited she wanted to show me how she learned to break out of a collar grab. It involved turning her back 🤦♂️. I immediately pulled my arm out a picked her up in a suplex position. That technique was way less effective than just freaking out and struggling. If the technique is worse than just freaking out, it's the opposite of training.
As a lady... YES! - I 100% agree Ramsey! I kickbox, and roll Jiu-Jitsu and I can't yell it loud enough. Get REAL training, from REAL martial arts instructors!!
I hate that hairpin hack. If she were in the back of a moving vehicle, that pin would more likely go through the roof of her mouth than thick duct tape. Also, unless the kidnapper had the foresight and know-how to remove or disable it, most cars come equipped with an emergency trunk release inside for this very reason.
I'd never heard of Troom Troom. Thank you for this - this was genuinely horrifying. The narration sounding like it's something coming from a toy is really the icing on the cake.
its "manufactored" life hacks channel. They mass produce videos and i guess they try to appeal for kids but also make it gringey enough for adults share them with each other like "hey, look, this wouldnt work lol". They also have gotten facebook algorithm down i guess. Almost none of their life hacks work no matter if its about cooking, cleaning or making something handy (they cheat a lot too, for example in the cooking videos whatever they put in microwave or oven is not the same product they take out. Same with cleaning "tips")
Sooo - the thought process on that scarf thing is that in case somebody breaks into your car, decides to not steal the car or take whatever stuff you've got in there, but rather wait for you hiding on the back seat in order to strangle you using your scarf once you're sitting in the car you need to be prepared for that and you need to tear apart a scarf and put velcro into it, so it is a tear away scarf. That is the most convoluted thought process I've ever heard on the internet.
As someone who's been a parfumier, I guarantee you that getting some perfume in your eyes isn't enough to stop you if you're actually in a fight. It stings, obviously, and you'll need a second to wipe your eyes, but it doesn't disable a person like a proper self defence spray would.
@@SenseiSeth That's because they didn't show the secret technique: After you applied the perfume, you set it on fire with the ChokeholdDefenceLighter (TM) and run away from BurningFaceMan. Small note here, keep the lighter upside down and protected from the wind until you feel your fingers heat up, then use the hot metal rim on the attacker's skin... or drop the lighter inside his shirt. ;) Much easier done in a talkup when things gets gruffy at the club though.
@@zizochemlali4639 Which also doesnt stop someone on speed or meth or just blind fury... Methheads be shot 9 times in the chest by police and still standing up and fighting
@@johanmetreus1268 Hahaha yess. Perfume the (RAT) and LET him get you into the chokehold before you burn his elbow with your lighter and light him ablaze. Except you both catch on fire and end of TH-cam video. 😂 But don't forget to check out the video next on how to quick and easily put out a defensive body fire that has consumed you from your own stupidity.
Last Christmas I taught my wife the best self-defense technique ever, no question! It was called I got her a .357 and a one year membership to the local gun club to practice. I showed her how to use it and we've been practicing quick draw. As a bonus gift she got herself a concealed carry permit.
if the attacker's hands are busy I think it's plausible, however, if they see you reach for something in your pocket when they have a rear naked choke, you better get ready for some big trouble.
@@kirito3082 Unless it's an electronic high pressure lighter that won't snuff away and is easy to hold firmly, it won't do ANYTHING --> because this will simply make the attacker enraged and squeeze harder move backwards making that weak flame dangle all over your arm and do nothing or snuff off. An electronic one on the other hand will burn like crazy, that one could potentially do it, but since they didn't use that one or even mention it, yeah no horrible idea. BTW even a zippo won't be enough to beat being strangled, electronic one could, so much more heat.
i think if you're choking someone like that and they grab a lighter, the first thing they're gonna do is squeeze harder and restrain your arm, so if anything you're just making them madder
The grabbing a person by the pinky to stop them from choking you absolutely works. The assailant can't possibly fight back against that because they'll be laughing so hard they'll be out of breath themselves.
Happy to recognize over the past few years there is a new generation of martial artists growing that use common sense and realistic check-up of even their own techniques. Thanks man! PS: I enjoyed your video of your visit to Hardee‘s in NC a lot!
Another tip: kick the back lights. Those are the weakest parts of the trunk and then stick a hand or foot out. Someone’s bound to realize something’s wrong.
If the guy is waiting for you inside of your car, he's a hitman and you are already dead, not stunning him with your moves lol Which would be fun is if she have electric seat lol
In reality it would work like this: okay they took off my scarf now I can pull down the seat And than they get punched in the face before they can even touch the lever which is what would happen in this situation
The one with the lighter: don’t forget, there is also going to be a struggle back and forth. The guy’s arms are not going to stay in one spot. So trying to have the lighter on his arm in the same spot for 3 seconds for him to feel the pain is going to be extremely difficult.
Honestly, this is making a very real issue like assault and the necessary self defense against it look like a fun little adventure on a saturday morning where everyone involved has a good laugh afterwards and nobody has anything worse than a little ouchie that needs just a bandaid.
Honestly, its not just the terrible advice that gets me. But also how happy and upbeat she makes it sound. "Being attacked is so much fun!" It almost feels like a parody, but I don't think it's meant to be one....
You're giving far too much credit to that cigarette lighter stupidity. In a real altercation things are moving around... If by some miracle the lighter didn't go out, it would still be moving around far too much to do anything. Thanks for the vid though! Absolutely hilarious! I'm gonna have to check out troom troom next time I feel like my confidence in humans has got a little too high. :D
It's so so SO sad that these kind of self defence techniques are out there. Making safety even worse by giving people a false sense of selfreliabillity
5:21 Thank you for your dedication to your videos, science, and self defense. However, in the future, I don't recommend placing an open flame to your skin. Leave that to Icey Mike.
Well on watching the video, I took one big important tip away... Don't try to light yourself on fire.... Not even to show people that it would in fact hurt.... The alternative and probably most pragmatic way of explaining why the technique was stupid , would be to explain that people don't stand still while trying to choke you and you'd be too busy trying to grab his hands from around your neck while getting pulled around to reach for the lighter. But Seth is a man that goes that extra step beyond and takes one for the team.... Which we should all respect..
I always hate how they try to make escaping from tape zip ties or rope look so easy by using the thinnest flimsiest stuff they can find and wrapping it around maybe like 3 passes There is no way in HELL you are going to poke through duct tape with a bobby pin in your teeth or just effortlessly rip through it
Also, she was using a hair pin, not a Bobby pin. Biiig difference. The ends of Bobby pins are covered in plastic and would not poke through any kind of tape. Problem is that Hair Pins fall out extremely easily and, quite honestly, aren’t great for everyday use. I work in special effects and I only use them for wigs and occasional updos. I don’t think I’ve EVER seen a layperson use them for casual wear.
Congrats, Seth. You have finally done it. You’ve found someone teaching more useless martial arts than the average TKD mcdojo 🤣 …says the man who holds a black belt in TKD lol
@@Pasta-n8z it’s been years since I’ve done TKD but we were an independent school so didn’t have ITF or WTF affiliations. We promoted it as Americanized taekwondo, which from what I’ve seen over the years is closer to tang soo do
Whatever you do, don't let her imitate any of their cooking hacks, they are horribly dangerous! I recommend watching Ann Reardon's How to Cook That if you want to see some good tutorials as well as get a glimpse into the debunking of life hacks that are more like death hacks (I saw one video where she explained why no, you don't want to douse your food in molten metal, and you also don't want to make a phone charger plug out of solid metal) Seriously, so much of Troom Troom and similar channels' hacks seem to have been designed by someone who wants to set everyone's house on fire!
Only found your channel about a month ago and it’s quickly become a favourite on TH-cam, you have great charisma, a wise mind and a kind heart. Also funny af. Perfect for martial arts and the teaching of. Respect 🥊
What gets me about that women's self defense is, "Make him let go, make him fall over... Uh confrontation over?" Mild inconvenience probably wouldn't deter a guy who randomly decides to choke you on the street.
“I practice the great and ancient art of Marry Poppins Do, where we expect our attackers to continue to hold onto an umbrella when we use it to twist his arm”
Yeah I laughed too, I think it's the extremeness of the situation contrasting the "fun" joyful nature of the last clip/maybe a defensive laugh to the situation. Also, note your chance of survival drastically decreases if they're able to get into the vehicle, especially the trunk, that being said Seth makes a good point about the kidnapper is most likely stronger than you, and planned this out but at this point your best bet is to fight back. Stay aware of your surroundings my friends, and be safe.
Honestly, this is just very funny. The way they try to do some 'self defense' and 'pull out a hairpin' is just too funny to be true. This comedy made my day. P.S I love your videos btw:D
This is a very dangerous video, it must be prohibited! I've broken 3 of my ribs 'cause the laughin! I think we need a video explain how to defense from this video! 😂😂 Thanks a lot, sensei!
Idk if I'm just overly aggressive, but once you have an attacker on the ground you should be trying to smash his skull, ribs, and knees. That last one may sound weird, but if you stomp someone's knees when they're down it can help keep them down.
@@Anonymous-hx3pu that would turn into assault. Just do it to where he's out cold or incapacitated. Anything more than that the courts (which doesn't like self defense in the first place) would have a joy ride with it. You know how things are turning these days.
Let’s say the lighter goes off first try, can you pull it out and get it to work before you get put to sleep? Seriously asking, in my experience I start fading out if they’ve really got it pretty quick.
This is so hard to watch. After learning how to apply chokes, and shown to stop them, I'm face palming. Also, this is something I have to look out for because I have a sister. Good thing she also has the ability to smell nonsense.
Remember kids, if anyone tries to offer you a teddy bear it means they're out to get you. Headbutt them until they start convulsing, it's the only way to be sure you're safe.
A little late to this party but I’m dying over the voice at 4:43 lol you sound like Mega Fat CEO Baby from the Boss Baby franchise 🤣 Side note: Troom Troom should not be taken seriously like 99% of the time. It’s just a bunch of trolling with overly happy disney type voiceovers. Which definitely does not fit the theme of this particular video
Thanks for sharing this horrific video i will share with my students and members. Wow. just wow. Unfortunately there will be people who will actually believe this stuff works. Coach Lobo
16:30 Pulling the pinkies off actually works for chokeholds, they are forced to get their hands off or have their pinkies broken. Also you can easily break fingers even untrained. That's why small joint manipulation is banned in every combat sport.

@@SenseiSeth yeah youd see all these kind of stereotypical tips on any crappy self defense program. Like very specific situations with responses that depend on everything going right with no variables
Surrealist comedy at its best.
Watch their other videos. They've never been involved in human life, either.
Probably never interacted with a real human being before either considering the bizarre social interactions that leads up to these scenarios
With the escape the trunk technique, I find it funny how they assume you will be somewhere where you’re free once you’re out of the trunk. What if you’re in a locked garage or in someone’s walled off yard or anywhere else where more must be done to escape once you’re out of the trunk. People open the trunk when they’re AT their destination, not on an open street where you can run a away
Exactly. Also many trucks have safety features where you can unlock it from inside
Plus, it's a lot easier to be seen on an open street. Someone is bound to see you carrying your victim.
or on a bouncy freeway and there a big truck behind you

The cutesy voice-over over the footage of someone getting locked in a trunk was oddly unsettling in a David Lynch sort of way
The part where the girl is being choked with her own scraf was even darker imo!
I had the same thought.
David Lynch has nothing on this level of surrealism.
Yeah that was supercreepy!
just get in the trunk! and keep your mouth shut, don’t say a word!
I like how they mix smart self defence like “not attracting attention” calling for help etc with stuff that actually doesn’t work like reclining
I've got a good self-defense tip: tell the aggressor that Icy Mike is your friend
Everyone knows Icy Mike doesn't have any friends.
It'll just make the attacker more aggressive insulting his common sense

Did you study TKD because you heard that “kicks get chicks?”
@@dr.floridamanphd that reason and none other haha
Do you practice ITF or WTF?
@@Pasta-n8z it’s been years since I’ve done TKD but we were an independent school so didn’t have ITF or WTF affiliations. We promoted it as Americanized taekwondo, which from what I’ve seen over the years is closer to tang soo do
My seven-year-old girl LOVES this channel. I want to blow my head off just listening to it in the background.
Whatever you do, don't let her imitate any of their cooking hacks, they are horribly dangerous! I recommend watching Ann Reardon's How to Cook That if you want to see some good tutorials as well as get a glimpse into the debunking of life hacks that are more like death hacks (I saw one video where she explained why no, you don't want to douse your food in molten metal, and you also don't want to make a phone charger plug out of solid metal) Seriously, so much of Troom Troom and similar channels' hacks seem to have been designed by someone who wants to set everyone's house on fire!
Hi Seth, I think trying some of theses superior Troom-techniques with Icy Mike or Wonderboy would make for a hilarious video!
Only found your channel about a month ago and it’s quickly become a favourite on TH-cam, you have great charisma, a wise mind and a kind heart. Also funny af. Perfect for martial arts and the teaching of. Respect 🥊
If you’re bound, gagged, and stuffed in the trunk of a Daewoo…
Odds are you’re not going to be able to get in position to kick the attacker like that.
Dude, don't even go that far. You won't be able to free yourself in the first place.
@@Vlad_Tepes_III depends on what you're bound with
What gets me about that women's self defense is, "Make him let go, make him fall over... Uh confrontation over?" Mild inconvenience probably wouldn't deter a guy who randomly decides to choke you on the street.
Watching this with Icy Mike would have been hilarious.
That high pitch squeaky “Keep your mouth shut don’t say a word!” Is burned into my memory now
Looks like I’m going to do a video on this too! Thanks for making this!!
Have at it!
“I practice the great and ancient art of Marry Poppins Do, where we expect our attackers to continue to hold onto an umbrella when we use it to twist his arm”
Yeah I laughed too, I think it's the extremeness of the situation contrasting the "fun" joyful nature of the last clip/maybe a defensive laugh to the situation. Also, note your chance of survival drastically decreases if they're able to get into the vehicle, especially the trunk, that being said Seth makes a good point about the kidnapper is most likely stronger than you, and planned this out but at this point your best bet is to fight back. Stay aware of your surroundings my friends, and be safe.
Honestly, this is just very funny. The way they try to do some 'self defense' and 'pull out a hairpin' is just too funny to be true. This comedy made my day.
P.S I love your videos btw:D
The lock on the backpack is such an amazing tip because i would never be able to take it with me
That bit with the umbrella is priceless. It's like these idiots saw a bit of Bartitsu and thought, we can do that!
YES! I've been waiting for such a video from you in a while now! Thanks Seth
Thanks for sticking around!
11:20 Ik i shouldn't laugh but the awkward silence made it hillarious 😂😂
5:23 Seth deciding to light himself on fire
"FIRE BAD!!!"
1:57 ah yes let me just pull out my trusty pin real quick while laying in a trunk
I like the super passive aggressive narration too 18:21 “push the rat to the floor”
This is a very dangerous video, it must be prohibited! I've broken 3 of my ribs 'cause the laughin! I think we need a video explain how to defense from this video! 😂😂 Thanks a lot, sensei!
My little sister used to love troom troom and then there's me who actually takes Karate and saw her watching this and I'm just dying 🤣
Okay, gamer Jedi 2007.
Sidekicks don't work kiddo
karate is less than ideal for self defense, so yeah...
@@Gabi24492 it's helped me in many fights
@@Gh0st_0723 they do if used correctly
If someone pulled on the scarf with velcro it would separate before you have the chance to do it yourself
7:40 Once you’ve knocked your opponent to the ground, the best course of action is to slowly walk away 😂
Ah yes, turn around, and go away, totally a good idea
Idk if I'm just overly aggressive, but once you have an attacker on the ground you should be trying to smash his skull, ribs, and knees. That last one may sound weird, but if you stomp someone's knees when they're down it can help keep them down.
👉Coolness points👈
@@Anonymous-hx3pu that would turn into assault. Just do it to where he's out cold or incapacitated. Anything more than that the courts (which doesn't like self defense in the first place) would have a joy ride with it. You know how things are turning these days.
slowly walking away through the sunset.....that part us important XD
I love the fact that chika has the forethought to alter her clothing but not to lock her car door xD
"Twisty, twisty ouchies" should be your next shirt design
My favorite quote ever is now "this little birds got caught, no cage though, get in the trunk"
If your captor drives a Daewoo, you're about to get sold REALLY damn cheap.
Just saying.
Pretty sure that’s a type of Korean gun
@@Histgyph daewoo also made cars
@@PHOBOS300 oh interesting I didn’t know
8:44 I just recognized the Kwonkicker music
Tbh, i think some mcdojos' invisible force fields are more effective than these self-defence tips 🤣
Naw, just their lawyers
Let’s say the lighter goes off first try, can you pull it out and get it to work before you get put to sleep? Seriously asking, in my experience I start fading out if they’ve really got it pretty quick.
This was hysterical. Please do more 😀 your reactions were gold
Self-defense tip : learn to run fast and long, most aggressors won't be able to follow.
This is so hard to watch. After learning how to apply chokes, and shown to stop them, I'm face palming. Also, this is something I have to look out for because I have a sister. Good thing she also has the ability to smell nonsense.
I couldn't agree more. I know how to get out of the choke holds too.
the troom video is the type of content I would expect as a mockup in a movie about a modern dystopia
Personal experience. They just take the backpack and loot it later.
Makes sense
Also, they will most likely have a pocket knife. Backpacks are cut open easily.

Like, Troom Troom *has* to be trolling, right? They have to be. I still have a shred of faith left in humanity.
Remember kids, if anyone tries to offer you a teddy bear it means they're out to get you. Headbutt them until they start convulsing, it's the only way to be sure you're safe.
#18 - "If someone attacks you, show him this video. When he falls over from laughter, pacify him by playing kitten clips"
You did a really good job of breathing through that. I'm very impressed.
A little late to this party but I’m dying over the voice at 4:43 lol you sound like Mega Fat CEO Baby from the Boss Baby franchise 🤣 Side note: Troom Troom should not be taken seriously like 99% of the time. It’s just a bunch of trolling with overly happy disney type voiceovers. Which definitely does not fit the theme of this particular video
This video should've been called, "How to defend yourself from an incompetent attacker"
TBH that's all you need (not this video ofc) because casuals do not have much chances against competent attacker...
The dichotomy between the voice of the narrator and the goofy acting, and the seriously dark narratives they explore has me reeling
Houston Jones would be proud of your fire demo
Hahaha
Thanks for sharing this horrific video i will share with my students and members.
Wow. just wow. Unfortunately there will be people who will actually believe this stuff works.

13:45 tips on how to give yourself a concussion and possibly a fractured skull: slam your head into someone else's
16:30 Pulling the pinkies off actually works for chokeholds, they are forced to get their hands off or have their pinkies broken. Also you can easily break fingers even untrained. That's why small joint manipulation is banned in every combat sport.
And so is that choke
