I don't have the physical means to do the things I see in these videos, but I do learn a lot about avoidance and recognizing the tells of someone about to attack you, and that's incredibly helpful. I very much appreciate this channel.
@@Shayne_Mushin What was absurd was walking up onto the stage and striking a fellow celebrity in the face, then going back to his seat and screaming obscenities in front of everyone. C'mon, Will..

Love it! As a black belt in Japanese Jiu-jitsu/Shotokan Karate and self-defense instructor myself, I can totally stand behind your straight to the point advice. It's in fact refreshing to see this sense of situational awareness and realism instead of the all-in Hollywood action some self-defense gurus adopt.
@STAR 80 STAR 80 Sorry to hear that. Often depends on the quality of the place you go and the teachers you have. As goes with many sport facilities (boxing, Jiu-jitsu, karate, kickbox,...). I've seen places with great sportsmanship and a great mentality and the same discipline elsewhere that totally sucked ass.
Nice video. In my younger, foolish days I would always raise my open hands and state, "I dont wanna fight" while closing the distance to my opponet. Also bringing my hands closer. Then move my left hand to distract his eyes and pop with my right. Worked pretty well. Practice making a fist fast, make sure and tuck ur little thumbs in lest they get broken. Also look how a man stands naturally, if his knees are slighty bent and one foot slightly infont of the other, chances are he knows how to fight. But honestly avoid fights, like the man says. Because You will either end up in the hospital or jail, or both.
Well done video! Most inexperienced fighters telegraph their moves. This was to the point and simple to understand. Might add another common sign is they look away as if to distract you then swing.
Good points. Hollywood has also exploited these pre-sucker punch signs in many a movie fight scene. The pissed off dude momentarily looks to the side, not as a distraction, but to gather up his rage and power for an upcoming sucker punch. Another good non-verbal sign to watch for is the sucker puncher curling in his lower lip almost like he's sucking on it. Making non-verbal signs with the mouth and lips is the sign of a really pissed off guy who plans to deck you with everything he's got in the next two seconds. Sometimes the sucker puncher will make a clenched teeth, widened mouth gesture instead of curling his lips. Notice that mammal predators like dogs, wolves, and felines curl their lips, show their teeth, grimace, et al, before attacking. Humans have kept some of these attack non-verbal gestures from primeval times. Again, as Kevin Groat says it, situational awareness and avoidance can prevent you from getting into a sucker punch situation. By the way, why are you provoking some dude into taking a swing at you? You should never be provoking some person into attacking you. Some court jurisdictions take that into account later on if you plead self-defense. Witnesses may come forward, telling the judge you provoked the sucker puncher into taking a swing at you. That will change the whole self-defense scenario in the minds of the judge and jury. I know, it happens. Some a$$hole and you get into a mutual insult contest, even though he started it. But he has a much lower emotional thresh hold for taking in insults and soon you see him curling his lips, clenching his fists. When he moves forward the punch is coming. Don't get into an mutual insult contest. A lot of bystanders and his buddies are going to try to goad both of you into a physical altercation for everyone's entertainment.
People forget, when the predator has friends, his confidence is 200%…as he tries to intimidate you, instead of answering back, shut up & swallow your ego…asses your surroundings for sucker punches, if there is possibility of this, calmly step back with body language showing you ain’t scared…not worth it to end with a concussion. If it is just one predator, then this video applies
My Sifu taught us that one should always strive for a calm outcome and not turn the heat up. But, if one needed to fight, then fight quickly and decisively. His saying was, "any fight lasting over 3 seconds is a sparring match". To possess the confidence to not fight is a power that is hard to learn.
I was curious what this would be like, because I grew up in a pretty violent area and got in way too many fist fights as a kid, then joined the Army after school and got in plenty of bar fights lol. Honestly? Join a kickboxing class, maybe something like TKD. I started that when I was 6 years old and live sparring is a really great way to get used to recognizing the body mechanics that go into an attack. With so much repetition, you get used to it and reacting to it becomes instinctual and muscle memory.
Who the fuck just gets into random fist fights? I've been fighting since I was a kid, and only ever fought other fighters. Just be a nice person, and shrug off bullies, and you won't end up in this situation.
Excellent video you have wise words An off duty 70 old San Bernardino sheriff was too close to a man after a minor fender bender. He took a sucker Punch that knocked him to the ground hitting his head and died. Why did he not keep a safe distance arent they trained ??
Good advice, however looking at someone's face will distract. Keep distance, fist clinch, but also i focus on the small of the chest. All movements can be calculated by movements of the chest. People can fool you with their eyes, but, all movements can be gauged from chest movements, punches kicks, etc
I had a deputy sheriff swing a flashlight at my head when I looked away. I didn't expect it he didn't even try to arrest me until he was humiliated and I let him. I would never hit an officer unless I have no other option.
Second sign, You will be very lucky if your anniversary clinch fists without swinging. A lot of people (usually experienced) clinching their fist while swinging, right before hit, not while standing still.
Here is another. Pulling up/adjusting the pants, if you see them do that they're about to attack. If they're out of range, they'll adjust their pants while walking towards you.
Or simply say “I’m not interested” or it just worked on one guy. I told him I wasn’t interested so find someone else allright? He just look bit confused and I just walked away
I don't know the signs because my back was turned all 6 times... They should watch the video except I head butted all 6 of them so if you have that video... Perhaps recommend it to them...
Yea I did catch that one with dude screaming an was clutch'N his fist...but I was looking @ tha bigger dude...thank GOD my cousin was ready an lit dude up...big dude look'D @ his boy...that was his mistake I went in on him...BTW they started it we jus protect'D ourselves...I still got arrested cause of witnesses...love ur videos tho...stay ready so I don't have to get ready...✌️
Because you didn’t hit first pretty simple no one remember a honest fight they remember who the Fark one first lesson is free teach your children never hit second
If an attacker moves to close reaction gap then maintain the gap (I.e. step back) hands up in front of you in a “non-aggressive” pose … however if your back is against a wall and you’ve nowhere to step back to then immediately close the gap further and maybe even level change - and step closer but towards an “exit” - extend through the attack pushing your attacker off to one side and off balance. Then you can either turn and fight or make an escape.
If you can indicate these so called signs then you’re obviously not in a fight. Punches on a lethal scales, come out furiously at an almost unpredictable rate.
I look to all body not just hands try to see all picture the place where you are if the person have friends etc try to keep a good distance i have make a video about how don't get punched anyway.
Islanders mainly use the "I can't hear you, come closer" and bam you didn't see it coming. Sometimes they show no signs aka not telegraphing a move. It's hard but it comes with experience being part of a fight or breaking up a fight, the indicators are there.
I have a brother "D" , that is punching bad guys with open hands so hard, that they sued him for breaking their eardrums and other broken bones, .... just like Bud Spencer did it in his fun movies, .... except, that this one is 4 real .... he just got off the court , ... and he is old.
Unfortunately, even when you are sure that some guy is going to try and put one on you, it is often difficult to determine the exact moment to react and move fully out of the way. have found that sometimes you just have to 'absorb' some of the strike and either use your inertia to completely move out of the direction of attack or to establish your own counter defence move whether it be block, distancing or a strike of your own. Over thirty years of martial arts training with good advice by some of the world's top elite and I still managed to get hit in the face by an idiot boxer with a bad temper who refused to move his car so that I could get off my drive. I rolled with the punch (it was a very decent one) and he could not believe that I was still standing. I asked my wife who had run out of the house to call the police despite wanting to hammer him. He ended up in handcuffs and I was able to get my car off my drive. Got to keep calm if you can and remember any training you have.
I tell people, 95 percent of the time most of the attacks are going to be towards your head. For me fighting its about defense. Therefore, the first thing you do automatically its covering your face before throwing a punch.
I don't have the physical means to do the things I see in these videos, but I do learn a lot about avoidance and recognizing the tells of someone about to attack you, and that's incredibly helpful. I very much appreciate this channel.
They're not going to hit you open handed - unless you're at an awards show.
Don’t be absurd

Not true some like to slaap ppl ONLY 😂 its less damage and if Cort not soo exspensive.
Wow, it was a GI Jane joke, dude!!
@@nathanbyd570 This has NOTTING to do WHIT what your on about ; I take you never Done anney Marshall arts if you Don't know there is still a Danger WHIT an open hand THINK about it .
Very good. Controlled distance is huge. Never let someone in your range who is hostile

It's a shame how Shotokan Karate let me down when push came to shove.I was sucker punched and then quit karate for some boxing and I'm glad I did.

Well done, Kevin and great philosophy of self defense.
Thanks
The look away is the classic precursor to the sucka punch. Seen it si many times

Such a great teacher common sense and yes I have seen these signs but didn’t walk away now I think about my safety and yours first

"Always expect the unexpected!"
Hah! "A person looking for trouble isn't much of a problem for someone expecting it."
and with some time you will stop to expect the expected
Your videos are fantastic! Thanks for the knowledge.
your videos and your team produce excellent content, thank you.
I Wish i was young enough to take your class. Every young person should! Your a great Teacher!
It starts with, “gimme a dolla”

Another helpful vid, thank you!
understanding the 7 ranges of combat, the mechanics of each range will help you 1. determine if contact is eminent and 2. respond accordingly
Exactly
apreciated ! even if they re basic predictable ones :p
Hitches his shoulder when punching. Claims to be an expert😅
I usually see stars before I can see the signs.
First don’t stand there flat footed, hands down. The victim is totally unprepared, and defenseless..

Why did he not keep a safe distance arent they trained ??
I remember that incident, it was about 3-4yrs ago.
Your ego may get hurt, but at least your face will look the same without having to fight.
How about preventing it? Like, why are we insulting this stranger, what did you think was going to happen? He would start crying and run away?
Good advice, however looking at someone's face will distract. Keep distance, fist clinch, but also i focus on the small of the chest. All movements can be calculated by movements of the chest.

Usually everyone likes to gang up on me with weapons. And also if I'm breathing they want to attack me
🔥🔥🔥
🙏
💯 👍

This you cannot get from books or videos. We've to train until that reflexes ingrained in our brain and muscles. Getting hit sometimes the better...
FACTS
Tom hardy line made me weak the aw yea took me out
all true.
Second sign, You will be very lucky if your anniversary clinch fists without swinging. A lot of people (usually experienced) clinching their fist while swinging, right before hit, not while standing still.
Thanks for sharing your expertise!
3 signs you got hit ………seeing stars loose teeth waking up wondering what happened
Here is another.
Pulling up/adjusting the pants, if you see them do that they're about to attack. If they're out of range, they'll adjust their pants while walking towards you.
LETS TRY THAT SHIT
Or simply say “I’m not interested” or it just worked on one guy. I told him I wasn’t interested so find someone else allright? He just look bit confused and I just walked away
Two signs you didn't mention ... first, the eyes widen when they decide to throw a punch and then the arm cocking back to deliver the punch.
I don't know the signs because my back was turned all 6 times... They should watch the video except I head butted all 6 of them so if you have that video... Perhaps recommend it to them...
Have you heard of some new movie project that’s coming out called The Last Kumite
No I have not
Great advice as always...
I GOT CALLED OUT :D I HIT OPEN HAND BECAUSE I WATCH BAS RUTEN VIDEOS!!!! 😂😂😂
DAS ME!😁
Usually it’s when I open my mouth
There are 3 s 1 screaming 2 hé approching you then went hé get in the zone what we call leg distance it’s going down the 3 s
Yea I did catch that one with dude screaming an was clutch'N his fist...but I was looking @ tha bigger dude...thank GOD my cousin was ready an lit dude up...big dude look'D @ his boy...that was his mistake I went in on him...BTW they started it we jus protect'D ourselves...I still got arrested cause of witnesses...love ur videos tho...stay ready so I don't have to get ready...✌️
How to contact you guys?

“guarantee” that he “could” get hit 🙄
Wish I'd seen this before dating my last girlfriend
did you got hit by your gf?
This video will definitely help you keep your teeth.
Ok

How does he train for that?
Well that’s total bollocks haha

Over thirty years of martial arts training with good advice by some of the world's top elite and I still managed to get hit in the face by an idiot boxer with a bad temper who refused to move his car so that I could get off my drive. I rolled with the punch (it was a very decent one) and he could not believe that I was still standing. I asked my wife who had run out of the house to call the police despite wanting to hammer him. He ended up in handcuffs and I was able to get my car off my drive. Got to keep calm if you can and remember any training you have.
He missed the obvious first one: Talking too much shit ;)
I tell people, 95 percent of the time most of the attacks are going to be towards your head. For me fighting its about defense. Therefore, the first thing you do automatically its covering your face before throwing a punch.
Put tats to look scary = wimp lol
he does look like a knock off tom hardy
😂
We’ll, why is Eric being such a jerk?
Real fights happen in real time either your a fighter or your not
