- Please understand that sometimes context is missing due to the short clips on TH-cam.
In the dynamic that is shown here the element of crashing in while you hit him with your elbows is missing.
We filmed it but the audio is lost.
In UC we don't "defend". We are counter offensive. That's a different dynamic.
Also action always beats reaction!
Keep it simple!

Instructors like these save actual lives
Thank you again!
No, they don’t 😂
I'm starting to love this guy as much as Lee Morrison....great content. He is training the hardest part....the FEAR of bridging the gap during the ambush. His class should be standing room only! Well the sheep will have to come sooner or later....if the wolf doesn't eat you!
Thank you very much!
Same here
@@lionchild999 thank you!
What wolf r u talking about
@@californiacombativesclub202 Could be a reference to violence, and those who bring to the unsuspecting.
That knee towards the end was deadly. That student got real excited : ) I love to see self protection taught properly. Well done Sir!
Thank you!
He's a big strong experienced practitioner though, would it work so well for a smaller person?
@@iandavies6575 If you are small and there is no way of getting bigger you have to double up your efforts. There is never a guarantee that anything will work. But the principle stays the same. Thats my 2 cents
Great instructor. Clear and concise explanation. Urban combatives really is at the forefront of self protection. Not just the physical but the mental approach.
Thank you!
Been in martial arts 27 years now, trained in various systems this man is spectacular explanation of techniques 👏👏👏 huge fan thanks you sir 👊
Thank you very much!
Truer words were never spoken about blocking vs covering. Great stuff!
You're the best instructor I've seen. I love your aggressive style. Once I can travel out of Australia I'm coming for a seminar!
Thank you very much! Truly humbled by the kind words! Feel
Welcome!
Classes seem to be getting bigger, people are beginning to realize you are the real deal, l like this alot, it should take enough out of the punch to answer back, we wont have your technique but it will work.
Now when l hit the bag with gloves l hit myself with the other hand, l want to make it as hard as l can, you and your Lady inspired me to step up. Thanks Guru.
Thank you! Keep up the good work!
You are one of the best in the world when it comes to street self defense! Respect! Thanks.
Thank you very much! Very kind!
WWWOW! THIS GUY KNOWS HIS STUFF!!! You got a new subscriber here !!! Retired LEO here. Now I work security in a hospital. Rule 1 for me has always been close the distance, get in side of them and get ahold of them, but THIS is a whole new level!!! I watched another video on the head cover in this video and adding the spike elbow! OH YA! Might as well protect my self, AND maybe give the other person pause to rethink any further attack. I love this guy! Thank you Mike!!
Thanks a lot for your positive feedback! Much appreciated! I’m humbled you appreciate the content!🙏🏻 thank you Mike.
Moving in with that triangular SHIELD of elbows inside the arch of the attacking hand puts you in PERFECT position to snatch anything to drive that knee where it needs to go, MAKING him go face down into the floor!!! SIMPLICITY is the GOAL !!! Thank you Professor Mulder!!! JKD Sifu Mike Goldberg ( TH-cam )
This is hardcore reality @ its purest . The explanation is simple & direct while the execution of his techniques are realistic & legitimate. Total RESPECT !!!
Thank you!
You'll be surprised as one simple instinctive block becomes the greatest defensive response that ends a fight. Great stuff!!!
Thanks!
Hey brother, great video as always. One of my dojo brothers and I have started a self protection class and we teach the same “Helmet” cover along with a few variations of it.
You have given me some great tips for explaining the material. Thank you and I look forward to more content. 🥋👊🏽
Awesome! Thanks Ralph! Keep
Up the good work!
I've seen it called the "Turtle" like a shell protection.
Best self-defense video I've seen in a long time. Blocks are highly risky because attacks are so unpredictable and "action always beats reaction". Glad someone has said it. Plus he demonstrates with a realistic, full-force attacker; you never see that on TH-cam self-defense videos, do you? Thanks a lot.
Thank you very much! Really appreciate the kind words!
@@schoolofselfprotection O l live in France. Fo you ever come to Paris to give training sessions? Or would I have to travel to The Netherlands...
@@rich99global I teach seminars all over the world!
This was new for me: First Class Selfdefense from Netherland! My nighbour--land!
My English vocabulary is a bit small, but I understand the body language from the instructur!
What he show is very good for lerning!
Thanks a lot and regards from Germany, MW
Thank you!
Someone keeping it straight forward using proven logic. Nothing but respect from me. Followed.
Thank you!
As a martial artist you always know a fake dojo when a teacher has next to no respect for his students this guy really shows a lot of respect he even pointed out even though he was on camera that he made a mistake by attacking the guys back apologize right away no problem definitely knows humility one of the hardest rules and martial arts
Thanks for seeing that little detail! I have indeed a huge respect for them! Thank you!
@@schoolofselfprotection your the best
@@lionchild999 thanks for the(way too kind 😄) kind words! And happy you appreciate it!
@@schoolofselfprotection I appreciate you and your work
5:29 The reaction from the guy in the back is wild 😄
Very good video - after years of training, this Cover-Crash- Counter concept gave me a big plus in confidence. I did years of kung fu before an "knew" how to answer in 5 ways to nearly every attack. But the Problem is, like said in the video, you do not know what is coming and action beats reaction.
In other words gross motor skills > fine motor skills, I like that this guard is closer to the head I’m just wondering about straight punches harder punches to see instead of round ones and if a similar guard to high guard in boxing would help? The other thing I worry about with these high guards is although they might help stop punches, I worry about takedown attempts being easier with the hands so high up.
@@rooroo9216 Yeah, but not only that you are too slow to do the technique and have no time to choose the right one. And you are not in a controlled situation and will flinch in a more "unprofessional" way. Another plus point to the cover shown in this video is that is a natural response to something which comes quick to your a head (like a ball or milk can from the top of the stock pile) you only have to sharpen that and step into the threat.
A boxing style guard in my experience depends a lot on the angle of the attack and you do not protecting your neck. I got a shot on the neck/end of the skull in sparring and that caused neurological problems instantly, even if that was not with full power by accident and with gloves.
Takedown: Maybe you can get takled but lean forward and you could sprawl if you sense that kind of action.
It is clear that it is not perfect (what ever that means) for everything but it is a very good "one-fits-all" action if you do not know what ist coming. Straight punch to this cover (tip of your elbow) without cloves is no fun for the attacker.
@@mutant0177 Yeah I can see how the jab could kind of hit the elbow and break the knuckles, connect to the arm, bounce off left, bounce off right, above, or if this charging in technique is applied correctly they’ll probably end up getting their jab arm jammed up a few times anyway being too close. The opening up action downwards could also be a strike, or a grab/slapping an arm down (with a head butt) and then the strikes come. It’s certainly one of the better guards I’ve seen, I just think any enemy (if he’s even still standing that is) would immediately resort to grappling or takedowns after seeing so many of their strikes fail, it can happen a lot in fights. Sprawling is a good choice, hopefully they don’t fake the takedown, but there also might be some time to jam the elbows on/brace against their takedown (it’s kind of hard to explain how it looks).
What happened there sounds similar to what happens when a neck chop, hammer fist or other strike accidental or not happens on the neck, it might not always knock someone out like in the films, but cause a delay/stun them for a bit. It’s also probably why back of the head strikes are often banned, but can still happen now and then by accident.
There is never a 100% solution..When somebody takes me down..I’m still conscious. Point of this is to protect the head! So they don’t knock
Me out! You need to look into the gaps of your arm to see if he goes for a weapon or low line attack. If he goes low you sprawl. Fighting is always dynamic. You need to adapt all the time. But at least you can adapt because you are still conscious instead of knocked the f❤️ck out.
@@schoolofselfprotection Indeed, after all takedowns aren’t the only way someone ends up on the ground!
Master for the world combat training, BEST COACH!!!
Very kind! Thank you!
@@schoolofselfprotection maybe one day You come to Poland on seminary???
One of my favorite self defense channels very underrated
Thank you very much!
Good to see that young people learn from this good instructor how to defend themselves.
And remember fight is always dirty,don't expect it to be clean and fair.
Thank you!
Top notch instruction by a very good instructor. I cannot fault any of his videos. I had a similar coach a few years ago in Limerick called Mike Carroll.
Thank you!!
He felt that knee strike at 5:25 ! 😅 good training!
I had a deep conversation/debate with another martial artist on blocking..
I always stand on this point...if your blocking skills can stop one of Tyson punches, then I'll focus on it more.
Sifu is right on...and this structure, My opinion, gives us a great chance to endure an onslaught and return fire.
love your videos...
Thanks!!
De beauty zit in de eenvoud. Eenvoudige techniek, subliem uitgelegd en prachtig gedemonstreerd, een feest om naar te kijken.
`Hartelijk bedankt!
Thank you so much for your wisdom. You explain everything so clearly.
Thank you.
Thank you sir for lessons I hope meet you for more lessons
Thank you very much!
Awesome
Studied traditional traditional jiu-jitsu ..way before BJJ became a thing. Now that I am 60..I need geriatric juijitsu.. I believe this will pressure test out well. Some of this looks quite similar to traditional Japanese juijitsu. Especially the entering to eliminate the power of your opponent. I kept feeling I would want to instinctively want to move outward..which tended to leave the opponent to attack again. I wanted to send this to my 10 year old daughter I put into jiu-jitsu..but I think her mom will get upset about the language.. definitely following you!
Holy crap I love that protecting the head and using the hammer fist. It's like the movie 300, they repelled the enemy with the shields, then thrust in with the swords.
One Word - Great!
Reminds me to 100% of what we've learned in our Alpha Combat classes
absolutely agree regarding blocking in a fast, violent encounter.
love this..
Thanks!
Mr. Mulder has allowed me to re-evaluate all the martial arts since I stated in 1982. His advice is gold🏆
Thanks so much!🙏🏻
This is GOLD . We need more !
Thanks!
Eens voor mij via judo, jiu jitsu, naar karate. Maar helaas toen voor mij een sport. Helaas, ik ben78 jaar.
Door U video zie ik het echte werk, bedankt voor u werk. In Amsterdam zie je nooit maar 1 boef voor je.
Dus ik heb altijd wat me.
Het is beter in de lik dan in het ziekenhuis te komen.
Beste Dick. Wat een eer om te lezen dat u mijn video’s kijkt. En u heeft een mindset waar heel veel nog van kunnen leren!
THIS IS PURE GOLD.......
Thank a lot!!
You’re very compelling, my friend! Can’t help admiring your videos! Real working stuff!
Thank you very much!
You always have to look. Sometimes when you go to knee you have to see if his arm and/or hand fell, or is, in front of him, thus, that knee may not work. Always look, this is split second stuff sometimes. The best thing, if you're outside, is just take off and run, if not be prepared to scratch, bite and claw if necessary. That fear will become adrenaline and then survival and then action. Run, run, run if you can, most will not chase you.
God Bless brothers and sisters.
Fantastic thank you
God bless you sir for your real life videos because life never comes at you slowly.
Excellent video, excellent instruction as always 👊🙏
Great teacher!
Good job, brah. Action always beats reaction.
Thanks!
I don't know how I got to your page but you got a new subscriber from me great content I love your work
Thanks! Happy you appreciate!
WOW THANK you!!! FOR reeducating!!!! Loved that knee strike
You are welcome!!
This is what I will teach or try to teach to my daughters and son. It’s real and straight forward
Great to hear!! Tell them hi from me!
This is how self defence should be demonstrated & practiced, like as Real & brutal as possible 👍🏼
Thank you!
Yet another amazing video! This gentleman is something else 🔥
Thanks a lot!
One fucking solution. Thats all it needs no secret techniques. Simple and effective. Thank you for sharing the video
You are welcome!
Great great work. Thanks.
Thank you!
AWESOME!!!
Thank you!
Good session important info good method cover go in make impact pro active not just stand there and cover make the block a strike. You guys do great real world work much respect.🙏
4:48. Answering the phone while defending himself. Unbelievable!!!👍
You have too much free time🤣 I broke my hand in a fight..that’s why they look like that. Pinky out etc. But be honest. I looks kinda sexy right?🤣😘
@@schoolofselfprotection No, I don't have much free time. When I have free time, among other things, I watch videos of yours because I'm interested in your perspective on self-defense, which I find very effective. I was just kidding.
Haha me too. I had no problem with your comment. I thought it was funny as hell. 😘
Action always beats reaction! Great quote. If it’s the right action.
Thanks! Exactly!
Wow extraordinary man❤❤❤
Best solid advice I've seen in a good while. Awesome 🤙
Thanks!
You are a good man. Only good men fights good👍🏻
Much appreciated man!🙏🏻
Besides everything, you have beautiful dutch-english accent. And I have a lot of friends in Netherland✌🏻Best regards from Moscow, Russia!
Haha brother! The dunglish accent I try to iron out. No success yet🤣🙏🏻
@@schoolofselfprotection ✌🏻👍🏻 Try Russian-English, it may out-perform Dunglish, Haha
Mr Muller. Quick question. Would a hard shin kick work as well when you clinch? I've got back issues and I can still fire out a hard knee shot. If the subject covers his groin, would that be a quick alternative? The shin kick ?
Oops I meant a kick to the shin, not using the shin to kick the groin.
Beautifully explained & done brother! I have been teaching kung fu since 1988... I have been trying to teach this very concept.
Awesome work! Thank you!
Great stuff
Brilliant teaching as always
Thank Andrew!
AWESOME thank you sir !
You are welcome!🙏🏻
I would like to know, which video equipment you are recording with, please?!
Very clear, hi-def 4k 360 lens. Thank You Very Much! 😃👍
Very strong hiza geri !
Great skills
Think if added some catch wrestling with this be very effective
🤣 you should see my anti-grappling stuff.
Well done guys
Thank you!
Urban Combatives, when are you guys coming to Los Angeles!!!!???
When a host invites me for a seminar!
Man I subbed cuz I just want to be ready if this happens in real life.
Great to hear that!
Very very good vid I love this guy too. Stay strong happy new year
And hubud lubud Kali for knife disarms it's what delta use
Hubud Lubud is used for tactile sensitivity.
"One fucking solution" . Sadly in my country there are not classes like this but when I was in Canada that rhino, monkey defense or whatever you want it to call it was there everyday, just as that knee attack while grabbing. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
I practice using the SPEAR technique but this looks Pretty effective as well.
solid advice!
Thanks!
Love it
Thank you!
Very Good 👍 your fan from Egypt
Thanks brother! Happy you like it!
I like what you are doing but I like the crossarm boxing defense when it is done properly so when they go to hit you inside you can do counter punches.
Soy seguidor de tus vídeos, son geniales, gracias por compartir 😁🙏
Очень интересно. Спасибо.
Thanks!
As an Ex Police officer and Currently an amateur fighter these look very realistic and COULD BE effective if they are practiced so much that they are now your second instinct. If it isn't, run.
Yes it has to be blueprinted in the brain! So the right motor memory comes out under real stress! Otherwise indeed best option is to run! Thanks for your feedback.
Keysi Fighting Method uses these elbow-blocks as a base-technique ;)
Keysi sucks since they use that kind of block all the time even if the adversary is out of reach leaving your ribcage open for a series of swift attacks
This is the shape 1 from defence lab or pensador block from Keysi, not seen this block anywhere else until Keysi came on the scene too
Top video⭐
Simple and it's NOT simple !! 🖐👺 five stars !!
Thanks!!
@@schoolofselfprotection keep up the great work 👊👺
Very down to earth, practical and useful informations.
Love this channel.
So my question is well meant and sincere:
As I was involved in some street fights, I see that this cover leaves the liver area and solar plexus open.
Is there a way to cover head and belly?
Or you HAVE TO use blocks, which are indeed very hard to do.
I was once punched in the liver; not an experience I would like to repeat.😂😂😂
This guys cool! His got natural warrior genes
Very kind! Thank you! But I’m nothing special. Everyone has this in him/her. But thanks!
No problems coach! Thanks for sharing..
@@Stevo-klo45453 thanks for appreciating!🙏🏻
Not here to debunk the teaching, but in my kung fu school, we drilled every time something like a krav maga 360 defense (forearm block), and one time someone tryed to suckerpunch me as you demonstrated, as a reflex I steped in right away, hit his punching arm with my forearm, and put my other hand onto his chest, but did not hit him, and asked the guy, wtf he is doing! He was thinking hard, kinda frozen, tryed to hit me with his other arm too, I was really surprised by that, but I just pulled back my head a bit, and step back really short, asked againt if he is crazy or something, and that was it, no harm done... Blocking, if you drill it so much, is possible, specially against wide suckerpunches, but I was not under adrenaline, I just tryed to deescalate a situation, where acutally they wanted to beat up another guy (who behaved shitty acutally, but you know...). The other interesting part of the story, my attacker had friends, acutally 3 wrestlers, all bigger than me, and national champs or something... thoose 3 guys wanted to give a lesson to someone, and as I said, I tryed to make them chill, and this fourth guy, who didn't look acutally like them, he was not that muscular, etc... So he came to ME and tryed to suckerpunch my head off... Moral of the story, blocks can work, acutally as a reflex, if you drill them properly, but there is a risk, if you do not catch, do it too early, or late, yes, you are fucked up, but step in can still help a bit ;) Other moral of the story, If I actually hit back, no mercy, whatever, possible the 3 wrestler friends could "kill me"... Thoose guys built good... Like Bruce Lee, just bigger XD Every situation is different, BUT I agree covering the head is EZer than catching something, this is just my story ;)
Ok. No offense but…Come to my class. And try to block. I pay your 1000,- if you can block 1. The drill: I’m standing in front of you. We have a dialog going…And I will attack with anything out of the blue. You recognize and block. You will fail. Action always beats reaction. No matter how long your drill a drill!
@@schoolofselfprotection "Every situation is different, BUT I agree covering the head is EZer than catching something, this is just my story ;)"
Superbe! Please come in France for a seminar ;)
Just need an invitation and I’m on my way!
brilliant and real! Thank you
Thank you!
One solution to one problem is not Street worthy. You must have single solutions to multiple problems. I really like what this guy has to say.
You are absolutely right!
Where did you get that groin strike pad?
Nice technique, most krav maga schools are unaware of its existence but our was founded by former soldiers and bodyguards and working police officers, so we were taught the cover and how to use it from the very beginning. Nice one!
Thanks for the nice words! I made the protector myself! Send me an email brother! I can show you!
Never would have thought to go inside the arc of a blow - and hope I never have to - but now I know.
Awesome video! I do like this style. And its so similar to krav maga. I learned this defense in my krav maga class as well. Just a 360 defense is not Always enough.
Thanks..but it’s not a style. It’s all about violence and concepts to deal with that. The 360 defense goes totally out of the window when we pressure tested it. Not realistic when the attack is fueled by hate. Thanks for appreciating the content! Feel welcome in class.
@@schoolofselfprotectionmy former teacher told me more less the same as you! 360 is nice as a basic training, but when it comes to a massive attack with lots of anger and hate, then covering your head is one of the best things you can do!
UC really is the best, this Instructor is amazing and a fantastic disciple of Lee Morrison's teachings. Everyone has a plan until they get kneed in the dick a la UC style!
Excelente , new suscriptor from Argentina.
Awesome! Thank you!
Krav Maga in all it's glory. I loved taking classes for this when I was in my teens.
It's straight to the point, and highly effective.
Not Krav Maga but effective.
I knew it,i was right no matter how long the enemy weapon is if you can get deep you can lower the impact and take down your aponent
But the problem is if your aponent use a weapon like chain or whip kind a weapon like chain dart
How much of an adjustment would you make for a straight punch/thrust to the head? Would it be more of a shuffle to the outside instead of moving straight in?
Shift your arms to cover your face.
Interesting video. Muay Thai is most effective at this close distance with knees and elbows but if they have a weapon the best option is to run.
We take the knees and elbows from Thaiboxing indeed! But there is so much more to make it more Combative! But the tools you mentioned are legit from close range!
