Very true. That is why I carry something to level the playing field. No sane person wants to unnecessarily get in a self-defense/street fight. But if you do, make sure that you have the tools to defend yourself. (Legally) Stay safe and healthy. Peace
@KvAT I had the same idea back in 1994(I remember The incident well) I'm leaning on a wall outside a club hand's in pockets looking cool 😎, fight starts next to me nothing to do with me But the friends of the person fighting thought I was,brief insult to me gave me Just enough time to grasp keys and absorb punch to face but Not avoid , brief instinctive 3 punch combo, house key hit guy just below left eye and Snapped of in cheek.... I had to climb on kitchen roof and through bathroom window to get to bed at 4AM.
When it comes to the Law, Jails, Court, lawsuits & Judges, things can get very stressful and not in your favor even if you are the victim and got punched first and then defended yourself and beat the crap out of the aggressor. Things can escalate so fast with the aggressor especially when he/she running their mouths. Do your best to avoid fights at all cause because nothing good can come out of it. It happened to me once as a victim and defended myself the aggressor went to the hospital and I became the bad guy.

Elbows hit hard if your able to get past the guys punches and defense. like once u get into a grapple of some kind where the guy's face is open and close to ur elbow range. You can probably do it all in the same time because of adrenaline. Like you wouldn't be doing this really slow but fast
Death by the palm strike to the nose! I had a Karate book my dad got overseas during the Korean war, it contained a section with strikes that kill. My favorite one was to punch in the armpit, which will make your opponent puke rice soup for 3 days, then die. Every technique had the victim experience an odd illness of sorts, and then within a specific time period, die. :)
never heard of such thing, seems interesting. however i wouldnt want to kill someone, i thing that knocking them out is enough, plus you can get in legal trouble because apparently you still get in trouble if you kill someone while they threaten your life...

With many years of experience (training) under one's belt, it becomes really difficult to determine what "untrained" people will do. The spinning back fist, for example - would an untrained person really even consider it? Perhaps if they watch too many MMA fights or movies. It would seem most "untrained" - as in, no experience at all, not even street experience - would be very straight forward: Get in the face. Push / Shove. Swing the haymaker. Go for the tackle. Or ambush from behind. Anything else might imply SOME experience (though not necessarily good / proper experience).
Im untrained and I wouldn't use the spinning punch thingy unless it's very situational like it I missed I'd recover quick enough and throw a kick. Like well... I wouldn't say untrained now.... Cuz I only trained in wrestling, boxing, Muay Thai (only Abit but too advance for me) I was 14-16 and my brother was teaching me alot of things. Especially grappling as a starter since it's really good in street fights if the enemy doesn't expect it since most street fights is just punching and kicking or weird so called grapple then punching standing up. I meant like actually grapple take downs and locks. Then punches making them precise and not wasting breath unless it's necessary. On top of that, I play soccer last summer or something when my cousins, uncles and brother. We trained slot to get my leg muscles up so that I can play as a striker or something I forgot the positions or roles in soccer. But jeez my uncles have been playing for so many years when they were younger of course.they have much more powerful kicks than I do.
Spinning back fist is supposed to be a recovery technique... NOT an opening technique. That's a good way to get hit in the "magic button". It's a whole lot more of an oh shit move, than a calculated intentional move. Here is a dumb move some think they can do. Any kind of high kick to the head. Kicks are for the lower half. Fists are for the upper half.
@@oneshadowdragon I've missed my target with spinning back fist. Ended up grappling n dotted both their eyes to finish. It got messy. Sifu is right, there's too much your opponent can do to duck your strikes if your back is turned. In a pinch though, it was worth a try, but I totally missed what should have been an easy mark.
I've made someone piss blood with a spin kick before. They are indeed a very risky maneuver, but also extremely damaging on those rare occasions when a good one connects.
I've witnessed it fail. Some 25 years ago we were hanging out downtown one night and one local "badass" (was likely "under influence" too) tried to start a fight. Luckily he picked the biggest (6'5“ or so) of our group, and he was also a boxer (and strong as hell, it was in their genes as was the gym). This wannabe bruce lee tried to land a flying spin kick on our friends head. Got blocked easily (moron was about 12" shorter so there wasn't much power innthat kick either) and fell on his face as the spin was cut. So he thought it was a good idea to try again. The result was exactly the same 😂. Our friend being a boxer didn't get too intimidated, partly because he knew he would likely cause big damage hitting even once. At this point the last working cell in the attacker's brain woke up and he stopped and the situation was over. But it was a kind of eye opener for the rest of us too, that those kicks are nice for a show, but not a good idea on a street fight.
That spinning fist is a real thing I’ve seen so many untrained people trying it and ends very bad plus I think it’s pretty stupid unless you actually know what your doing you should never spin around it takes your eyes off target confuses you then you can’t see incoming danger and get beat up and embarrass your self.
These are the steps I go through when street fighting: (Note: each step is progressed due to the failure of the step before it, except 2 to 3.) 1) Avoidance 2) Offering to take it to a gym so we don't get in trouble. 3) My training in arts of a martial nature. (BJJ, Shodan Ryu, Silat... also I've learn a few Judo throughs, and trained with a bo staff and may resort to a stick if necessary.) 4) Loosening gracefully / having good sportsmanship / learning to accept.
I was in a fight once where the guy picked me up and threw me down like he was spiking a football. I'm 6'2" and he was huge. It was shocking and I couldn't defend against it.
Sorry I am late to the party, hope you are ok. If someone picks you up you have to grab them (anywhere?) and holld on like your life depends on it , it does. god bless.
I really enjoy your videos. Big respect all the way from Canada. From my experience best thing that works in a street fight is the death stare..a look that people wont even want to glance at let alone have to fight a man with that expression. There be a dragon in us all.
I have trained in Karate for 30 years and I would never recommend using a flying kick of any sort in any real fight. A flying kick may look nice in kata, but it will get you killed in a real fight. You must always maintain contact with the ground. Contact with the ground, even with only 1 leg, is instrumental in maintaining spatial awareness in a fight.
As for things that don't work... You should talk about misconceptions that women have for self defence, like for example, many untrained women think that long fingernails will be effective against an attack by scratching or by digging the nails into an arm etc. Also many untrained women only rely on groin shots to save them. It'd be really interesting to hear your take specifically on women's self defence as so many videos online give women really bad advice 🙂👍
Good point, I completely agree. I did touch on this subject in this video th-cam.com/video/E5uEjn4kF3M/w-d-xo.html. Although perhaps I should do a more comprehensive video on the topic. Let me know your thoughts.
@@fightscience great points in that video you linked.. thanks. I would like to see your take on more detail for women's self defence.

@The Beast good point, but I don't want to be responsible for an increased population of blind people. So I limit my advice public. Thanks for sharing your experience. Glad you survived. Have a great day.
@The Beast northern Ireland? Scary place in the 70s and 80s. My Dad left the army as soon as he returned from his tour of Ireland. Didn't like shit being thrown at him in paper bags.
. One (not really a myth) but: people holding weapons like keys or something between their finger, so when they hit something it gets pushed back into their knuckles and cuts them. - also big kicks above the waist is (I would say at least) a bad idea. And step-by-step self defence techniques (I want to know more about biting and what situations it 'works')
Hard shoes slammed into aggressor shin has been a good introduction for me more than once. The mind is focused on the shin pain when it should be defending something else. Make it a surprise. Walk normal.
More instincts than tactics I think for the most part, but good points. Both closing the gap and maintaining distance have their pros and cons. One thing with distance is more time to react, and of course if possible you can stay out of reacch, but an advantage of going in close is you can't get hit as hard. I believe in training both distances for self defense. Eventhough it's good to be able to try and dictate the range, it's also good to be able to deal with the different ranges. One dangerous thing when going in close is (and that's dangerous otherwise as well) is if he pulls a knife, again pros and cons there, better chance of trapping and pinning the weapon (IF you see it), on the other hand at distance you can use low kicks and palmstrikes to mantain distance and depending on the environment and your positioning be able to run off.
Hahahah the first one was really funny but that happens alot more then we would think. I've seen it happen I went to a tuff high school and almost 90 percent of fights looked like that. Thank you guy for sharing.🔥💣💥💯✌
5:27 I always reckoned that stepping off-line while their back is turned would work quite well. They turn back to sock you, but you're a ~metre to the inside (e.g. they turn away intending to punch with the right hand, you step to _your_ right). There's no way they can land with one motion once you've done that, and if they try to they'll probably overbalance. It'd leave you in a great position to counter, too.
I suppose Peter Consterdine in your eyes is not an effective martial arts instructor LOL He uses Karate and is a very successful Bodyguard Instructor. Learn Self defense - Powerkick th-cam.com/video/ZzqmE2uyQvc/w-d-xo.html
I've seen all these fighting styles during my teen years (Way before the world of TH-cam). The swinging and leaning back was a very common style with girls; as well as the putting your head down and swinging for the fences. Karate was very popular back then and it quickly and easily took care of these types of "fighters".
A few years ago I deflected a straight line attack with a front kick (I practice muay thai). The guy fell on his butt breathless and I meanwhile walked away. It was harmless and effective.
The element of surprise, does give one a slight advantage, but one also has to be prepared and deliberately accept the fact that they are going to get to some degree; PAIN. If and when one has never head butted, punch someone in the face etc etc etc. It does fucking hurt.
I see a lot of people try to maintain an advantageous position on the ground without actually knowing how to do it. They land on top and then get rolled immediately due to lack of technique and experience under pressure. Not to say that it can't work, but just train for it properly.
A spinning back fist is usable as a point in compition but utter insane in an actual fight . You're welcome guys I said it for you. Unfortunately that is the problem with people that practice believe they can fight . There is a complete difference in a fight and a dojo . The vast majority of ppl not in BJJ or Krav magi don't have a clue what actually getting hit feels like. BTW seen several of your vids and your skill level really become evident in your explanations. Good job keep it up
It is also a bit "flashy" but there is a range (or two) were a kind of flying knee is an option even in a street fight. BUT I would highly recommend to practise the move AND know the right distance and have a feeling for the right moment. The good thing is that you put your whole body weight in but it is a calculatable risk because you can protect your head or even punch activly at the same time.
I really appreciate these videos alot of good advice here.. Would like to see some of when the fight goes to the ground or what to do when say you suspect they are trying to throw something in your face or actually throw something in your face..
I actually have seen some of these work in a street fight, though I agree thats its not advisable and extremely risky. I feel like fights are their own beast and what happens is so random that at one point or another almost anything will work at least once
People think they can bluff in a street fight. Posturing, getting in their opponents face, chest bumping etc. That works until it doesn't and then you are in a really vulnerable position with your arms by your side and can't react to a sucker punch.
@@flightographist All 1 on 1 contact sports developed weight classes because heavier less talented competitors could beat more talented smaller competitors.
You guys continue to impress with your practical street fighting methods. I would really like to see more ways of dealing with more than one attacker. And being able to regroup after a surprise attack. Maybe you've already did those videos, then please point them out to me. Thanks👋
spinning back fist and spinning kicks can definitely work if timed right lots of practice is needed but ive definitely used it in sparring and seen it happen in real street fights and mma fights
That's generally considered high level stuff taught to higher belt colors ie purple, brown, black, depending on discipline ... or in gi-less gyms/arts equivalent ranks... but that's rubbish in all honesty, granted you won't likely be heroically effective in such a situation, until you reach higher training and fight IQ, but it can and does come up for people of all fight training levels from none to multiple high level black belts... so if it can happen to anyone in any range of training than white belts and even casual video studiers should have access to some multi-opponent techniques, and methods both solo and with allies.
Q: "What other things do you think untrained fighters do? Leave a comment..." A: They don't fight, seeking ways to avoid conflict. Running away is the easiest.
Trust me it is far, far , far , less expensive. In bank account and peace of mind to D escalate and walk , if robbed ,attacked, you have to defend .. There’s no worse feeling nine months laterIn a traffic stop you have an outstanding warrant for assault that you weren’t aware of involving an incident nine months ago you completely forgot about because he went straight to the police and filed charges it only gets uglier from there
Great videos, keep employees coming! What is the best way to deal with someone who is a bit of a boxer, or throws big playmakers whilst piling forward?
Most people tend to grab some kind of bludgeoning instrument brass knuckles wooden stick or mace I’m curious what would be the recourse from your perspective
Great videos and content. I have a question regarding one of the last things you demonstrate in this video. When an aggressor turns away from you and you think he might he might be preparing to turn back swinging are there any techniques other than striking first? The possible options I was thinking are - close the distance, increase the distance, or move laterally. Not having any training I’m not sure what the pros and cons are of these or if there are any other options. I’ve heard too many stories of someone striking first against an aggressor and then facing legal consequences. Thanks for producing such great content and be sure to give your partner hazard pay!
Legal consequences are better than medical consequences. In a real situation take your pick. If you attack first to protect yourself from a real threat and run away pronto, there may be no legal consequences. But if you hang around for the police you are an idiot.
Hello, love the videos. Street fight tactic I learned was front groin kick and running mule groin kick. Fought a lot growing up mostly fists. But in a dangerous situation, I used groin kick followed by kick to the face. Or strike down on the back of the head after kick. Comment in video please if able. Thanks.
Actually i did a flying kick before in self defense. I don’t recommend it in the middle of the fight but once a guy startet to push me and each push got more violent. So i jumped in the air and kicked him in the chest. He got pushed back pretty far and had to catch his breath. I used that and walked away. But dont do this mid fight.
If you have an opening for a groin kick, take it, but it's not a magic off switch. Don't eye jab someone that is about to choke you out. (You must learn submission escapes)
Question re: 1:58. When someone's running at you about to punch/windmill you - what do you do? I'm 47 years old, tall and intimidating looking (so I'm told) so I don't really get any trouble, my streetfighting days are (hopefully) behind me, but this has piqued my interest. I find this fascinating, wish RBSD was a thing when I was younger. I've never had anyone run at me, in my fights as an adult it's always been drink-related and close in to start with. In your other videos I've seen you stamp a knee, could be hard to pull off with jeans on.
I've had a few guys that watched too many Bruce Lee movies that attempted to kick high, like chest or head high with snap kicks, side kicks, and on guy tried a round house kick to the head ( he landed flat on his back striking his head on the asphalt hard enough to knock himself out way past a 10 count and slit the back of his head wide open, I never even had to touch him). At 6'2" tall and 225 lbs ( last time I was in a fight, now I'm 210) I'm not an ideal candidate for a boot to the head while I'm still on my feet. But like most guys my size, especially with my military experience, my knees are probably my biggest vulnerability, and anybody my size and over 30 is likely to be in the same boat, especially with a lot of sports or military service in their background ( if you happen to actually know your adversary) so foot sweeps, snap kicks or stomp to the side or front of the knee might have been very effective against me assuming they had the skills to execute properly. Nowadays I'm no longer in the motorcycle club life, or a bouncer in a "Gentleman's Club" and I spend 90% of my time at my rural home so my defensive strategy has a lot more reliance on being armed. At 51 years old, 51 hard years, I'm going to avoid any sort of physical fighting if at all possible.
Kicking high.. If somebody grabs your leg you're likely going down. Open yourself up to ankle break, shin break, knee dislocation.... or if they really nasty all 3. Kick lower than waist
Can't recall the last time I saw an actual 1 on 1 fight. They usually attack in groups
Yup. That's why you should never hold back in a fight
Very true.
That is why I carry something to level
the playing field. No sane person wants to unnecessarily
get in a self-defense/street fight. But if you do,
make sure that you have the tools to defend yourself.
(Legally)
Stay safe and healthy.
Peace
If you can’t hold your own against an above average fighter then you can’t hold your own against multiple average fighters.
That's why you fight to hopefully make the opportunity to run away if you are cornered

@Beeblebrox One its about timing
One myth (thanks to "Star Trek" perhaps) is lacing the fingers of both hands together to make a "super-fist" to strike with.
yer speakin' of the "axehandle" maneuver. only 2 be used when flying @ 'em off the top turnbuckle. dig it.
.
One (not really a myth) but: people holding weapons like keys or something between their finger, so when they hit something it gets pushed back into their knuckles and cuts them.
- also big kicks above the waist is (I would say at least) a bad idea.
And step-by-step self defence techniques
(I want to know more about biting and what situations it 'works')
Great analysis I couldn't agree more, sifu make a wing Chun sparring
Hard shoes slammed into aggressor shin has been a good introduction for me more than once. The mind is focused on the shin pain when it should be defending something else. Make it a surprise. Walk normal.
More instincts than tactics I think for the most part, but good points. Both closing the gap and maintaining distance have their pros and cons. One thing with distance is more time to react, and of course if possible you can stay out of reacch, but an advantage of going in close is you can't get hit as hard. I believe in training both distances for self defense. Eventhough it's good to be able to try and dictate the range, it's also good to be able to deal with the different ranges. One dangerous thing when going in close is (and that's dangerous otherwise as well) is if he pulls a knife, again pros and cons there, better chance of trapping and pinning the weapon (IF you see it), on the other hand at distance you can use low kicks and palmstrikes to mantain distance and depending on the environment and your positioning be able to run off.
But good stuff, just wanted to share some other thoughts as well, but what you showed were solid approaches to frequent street fight situations.
Hahahah the first one was really funny but that happens alot more then we would think. I've seen it happen I went to a tuff high school and almost 90 percent of fights looked like that. Thank you guy for sharing.🔥💣💥💯✌
The double leg take down! (watching too much ufc) lol
Love what the channel is all about and video's! #FightBoss
Hope you guys are doing well! I love watching your vids. Keep 'em coming!
5:27 I always reckoned that stepping off-line while their back is turned would work quite well. They turn back to sock you, but you're a ~metre to the inside (e.g. they turn away intending to punch with the right hand, you step to _your_ right). There's no way they can land with one motion once you've done that, and if they try to they'll probably overbalance. It'd leave you in a great position to counter, too.
That lean back wild swinging is how like 90% of people fight
The myths of the karate chops or palm strikes would be cool to run through in another video.
They work when done right. And I also want him to debunk that palm strike to the nose would kill. That is not true.

I've seen all these fighting styles during my teen years (Way before the world of TH-cam). The swinging and leaning back was a very common style with girls; as well as the putting your head down and swinging for the fences. Karate was very popular back then and it quickly and easily took care of these types of "fighters".
We must be the same age. 😉
A few years ago I deflected a straight line attack with a front kick (I practice muay thai). The guy fell on his butt breathless and I meanwhile walked away. It was harmless and effective.
The element of surprise, does give one a slight advantage, but one also has to be prepared and deliberately accept the fact that they are going to get to some degree; PAIN. If and when one has never head butted, punch someone in the face etc etc etc. It does fucking hurt.
In close quarters combat... I like to head butt the collarbone.... It takes about 15 lb to break the collarbone... Then they are done...
Or to the nose
I'm senior citizen I experience it as life has taught me to always watch surrounding and be very very careful
Love your Vids!
In certain fights...things get ugly when while grappling..the person almost pokes in the eye,nose etc how to prevent that....
I see a lot of people try to maintain an advantageous position on the ground without actually knowing how to do it. They land on top and then get rolled immediately due to lack of technique and experience under pressure. Not to say that it can't work, but just train for it properly.
A well trained front kick would take you a long way if you know your power and range
A spinning back fist is usable as a point in compition but utter insane in an actual fight . You're welcome guys I said it for you. Unfortunately that is the problem with people that practice believe they can fight . There is a complete difference in a fight and a dojo . The vast majority of ppl not in BJJ or Krav magi don't have a clue what actually getting hit feels like. BTW seen several of your vids and your skill level really become evident in your explanations. Good job keep it up
People in bjj don't get hit. It's all ground fighting. Especially sport bjj which is 90% of dojos.
LOL, that is exactly how my cousin Anthony use to fight, with his head down! I can't tell you how many times he got beat up!
I've been lucky . distance and faking that I'm terrified before I strike has been a blessing for me more than once
the infamous head kick (unless you are Bill Wallace or Joe Lewis)
It is also a bit "flashy" but there is a range (or two) were a kind of flying knee is an option even in a street fight. BUT I would highly recommend to practise the move AND know the right distance and have a feeling for the right moment. The good thing is that you put your whole body weight in but it is a calculatable risk because you can protect your head or even punch activly at the same time.
If someone bull-rushes you, knee or kick in the face. If you don’t know what you’re doing or timing is off, it can end badly.
My suggestion:
How bad of an idea is trying to land a question mark kick?
On the streetz!!!you watch 2many bas rutten freefights🤣
@@dihillen more like I'm a fan of Wonderboy lol
4:25. Million dollar smile 💵💵💲💲😁😁☺️
Mark please upload some videos of your advanced WC students sparring (rather than doing Sanda), would be really cool to see.
A knee to the large thigh muscle in a clinch. World's worst Charlie horse. Hammer fist to the bridge of the nose. My two personal favorites.
I would like to see a video about urban myths or reacting to bad self Defense videos. Nice video by the way.
Great advice shifu. Id really like to train with you guys sometimes but unfortunately you dont have dojo here.
Where are you based?
Excellent reality based situations!
I really appreciate these videos alot of good advice here.. Would like to see some of when the fight goes to the ground or what to do when say you suspect they are trying to throw something in your face or actually throw something in your face..
I actually have seen some of these work in a street fight, though I agree thats its not advisable and extremely risky. I feel like fights are their own beast and what happens is so random that at one point or another almost anything will work at least once
Bro... that's deep actually 😆
Permanent injuries and possibly death is usually the risk along with dealing with legal ramifications should you defeat the person
Thoughts on turn kicks, sliding side kick, step across sidekick and defensive side kick
いつも拝見しております。ありがとうございます。大変勉強になりますが、まずは危ないところには近づくなっていうことですね。from Japan. Cheers, Dr. Phillips.
I agree!
real Sifu ... real Wing Chun Disciple..
real- ly.. Thank you from bottom of my heart..
Win your Fights...always.
rwandaprivatesecurity.
amazing!...but you didn't explain what works?..like how you close the distance ?..thank you for posting..
We will do that in other videos. Thanks for watching.
People think they can bluff in a street fight.
Posturing, getting in their opponents face, chest bumping etc.
That works until it doesn't and then you are in a really vulnerable position with your arms by your side and can't react to a sucker punch.
The four things that have won every street fight I have ever seen - aggressiveness, bigger, stronger, faster. I have never seen technique be a factor.
@@flightographist All 1 on 1 contact sports developed weight classes because heavier less talented competitors could beat more talented smaller competitors.
You guys continue to impress with your practical street fighting methods. I would really like to see more ways of dealing with more than one attacker. And being able to regroup after a surprise attack. Maybe you've already did those videos, then please point them out to me. Thanks👋
I agree with Som as I never see a one on one, usually packs or weapons
If seen loads of times in pubs, were someone pushed a guy back, and then the pushee, steps forward, hands down, into a haymaker.
spinning back fist and spinning kicks can definitely work if timed right lots of practice is needed but ive definitely used it in sparring and seen it happen in real street fights and mma fights
Video, how to save someone in oppression!!! Let say 3 or more vs 1 . I wanna join and level thing up... ?? So it last longer 😛
That's generally considered high level stuff taught to higher belt colors ie purple, brown, black, depending on discipline ... or in gi-less gyms/arts equivalent ranks... but that's rubbish in all honesty, granted you won't likely be heroically effective in such a situation, until you reach higher training and fight IQ, but it can and does come up for people of all fight training levels from none to multiple high level black belts... so if it can happen to anyone in any range of training than white belts and even casual video studiers should have access to some multi-opponent techniques, and methods both solo and with allies.
Center of balance
I would like to see something about that
funny how its always filmed in some shady looking place, quite realistic
Never underestimate the powers unleashed by the mighty canned beans 💥
Q: "What other things do you think untrained fighters do? Leave a comment..."
A: They don't fight, seeking ways to avoid conflict. Running away is the easiest.
True bro true it's get ugly most of the time if you fight someone who has more ego
Trust me it is far, far , far , less expensive. In bank account and peace of mind to D escalate and walk , if robbed ,attacked, you have to defend .. There’s no worse feeling nine months laterIn a traffic stop you have an outstanding warrant for assault that you weren’t aware of involving an incident nine months ago you completely forgot about because he went straight to the police and filed charges it only gets uglier from there
Great videos, keep employees coming! What is the best way to deal with someone who is a bit of a boxer, or throws big playmakers whilst piling forward?
Get in close, find a vulnerable body part and injure it. Repeat until threat neutralised.
Most people tend to grab some kind of bludgeoning instrument brass knuckles wooden stick or mace I’m curious what would be the recourse from your perspective
Great videos and content. I have a question regarding one of the last things you demonstrate in this video. When an aggressor turns away from you and you think he might he might be preparing to turn back swinging are there any techniques other than striking first? The possible options I was thinking are - close the distance, increase the distance, or move laterally. Not having any training I’m not sure what the pros and cons are of these or if there are any other options. I’ve heard too many stories of someone striking first against an aggressor and then facing legal consequences. Thanks for producing such great content and be sure to give your partner hazard pay!
Legal consequences are better than medical consequences. In a real situation take your pick. If you attack first to protect yourself from a real threat and run away pronto, there may be no legal consequences. But if you hang around for the police you are an idiot.
Hello, love the videos. Street fight tactic I learned was front groin kick and running mule groin kick. Fought a lot growing up mostly fists. But in a dangerous situation, I used groin kick followed by kick to the face. Or strike down on the back of the head after kick. Comment in video please if able. Thanks.
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Have a great day my friend.
Sifu do you have any scenarios for elevators?
Normally you press the button and it takes you to your floor?
“Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes (2x). Ears, eyes, tip of the nose, head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.”
Actually i did a flying kick before in self defense. I don’t recommend it in the middle of the fight but once a guy startet to push me and each push got more violent. So i jumped in the air and kicked him in the chest. He got pushed back pretty far and had to catch his breath. I used that and walked away.
But dont do this mid fight.
Hello sir, what if the martial art you practice for self defence
In my fighting experience. Master a simple hip toss. Simple. Effective.
If you have an opening for a groin kick, take it, but it's not a magic off switch.
Don't eye jab someone that is about to choke you out.
(You must learn submission escapes)
agree 100%
eye gouges and things are great tools for distraction/creating space to then start working the actual submission escape/defense.
Question re: 1:58. When someone's running at you about to punch/windmill you - what do you do? I'm 47 years old, tall and intimidating looking (so I'm told) so I don't really get any trouble, my streetfighting days are (hopefully) behind me, but this has piqued my interest. I find this fascinating, wish RBSD was a thing when I was younger. I've never had anyone run at me, in my fights as an adult it's always been drink-related and close in to start with. In your other videos I've seen you stamp a knee, could be hard to pull off with jeans on.
The problem in the streets is the fights are not fair
You start fighting with one guy then suddenly fists and kicks starts coming from every where.
Agreed.
This poor guy always comes at him in slow motion and he returns in medium speed lol
And if I respond in slow motion how would that look? Too snails racing 😂🤣😂.
I've had a few guys that watched too many Bruce Lee movies that attempted to kick high, like chest or head high with snap kicks, side kicks, and on guy tried a round house kick to the head ( he landed flat on his back striking his head on the asphalt hard enough to knock himself out way past a 10 count and slit the back of his head wide open, I never even had to touch him). At 6'2" tall and 225 lbs ( last time I was in a fight, now I'm 210) I'm not an ideal candidate for a boot to the head while I'm still on my feet. But like most guys my size, especially with my military experience, my knees are probably my biggest vulnerability, and anybody my size and over 30 is likely to be in the same boat, especially with a lot of sports or military service in their background ( if you happen to actually know your adversary) so foot sweeps, snap kicks or stomp to the side or front of the knee might have been very effective against me assuming they had the skills to execute properly. Nowadays I'm no longer in the motorcycle club life, or a bouncer in a "Gentleman's Club" and I spend 90% of my time at my rural home so my defensive strategy has a lot more reliance on being armed. At 51 years old, 51 hard years, I'm going to avoid any sort of physical fighting if at all possible.
Kicking high..
If somebody grabs your leg you're likely going down. Open yourself up to ankle break, shin break, knee dislocation.... or if they really nasty all 3.
Kick lower than waist
Defending the straight forward TACKLE!
Is it better to take a person to the ground and try to hammer fist
