And he’s EXACTLY right! That is why I get so mad when haters say that Bruce Lee was just an actor and he had no tournament fights Bruce Lee was a killer martial artist self-defense artist, and he would take you out in seconds. And weight class had NO significance.
Will you know I'm into dog training and I don't give a damn how about Dog Sports or the show ring just as Bruce was never interested and having a franchise or training people to compete in competitions
He's absolutely 100% right by giving his opponent a false belief of confidence. He's setting him up. Very smart and useful information and techniques! This guy seriously his stuff! Thanks for sharing great video.😃👍 As for Bruce Lee was an absolute legend and he was much more than just a wonderful actor. He was Lengendary in his Kung fu and fighting methods, he was super fit and incredibly agile not to mention He's reflexes and speed was extraordinary. Very strong with a huge heart! He was a small package but an absolute dynamite of life! There will never be his equal! EVER!
Teach my brother...Teach! It's always been my honor to share this martial journey with you. Glad your still here for those who truly want to understand. Stay Strong, Respect!
Bless you Professor. No one can run backwards faster than an opponent runs forward. Thinking Offensively is thinking rationally.. save defense for Court!
I started in traditional martial arts since 1971 on a daily basis, and I'm 65, almost 66 now. I'm still learning. Much love and respect to Professor David and Shihan Kenny.
@@MarkusBracey-cs5rm Just to drive his point home like saying there's a fire whisper quiet isn't as attention grabbing as " Hey, fire!" You could say it's shock treatment to emphasize the importance or urgency That's my take on it anyway
All the hollering has a multi effect. It gets the attention of others, not just the aggressor's. This is good bc in the event you do not succeed in defending yourself, you have a potential backup. If there are others around they might yell at him to distract him to get him away from you. There's power in numbers.
3 seconds into this video, I was knocked out by your intensity. When I picked myself up out of the dust that had settled, I made myself a coffee, put a steak on my forehead and continued to pay attention. 🙏
The delivery of those truth bombs has never made me pay more attention. Felt like an angry Dad just laying it on me thick but I was learning but also trying not to cry. I learned more about "self defence" in 18min than 47 years of imaginary situations id created in my head. The intensity of the teaching is exactly how we need to hear it.
Good stuff Sir. People don't know how important just getting your hands up for self defence. A cop friend who also studied martial arts always pushed just getting them up. He said it also is better for you if you run into legal issues.
I took one of your classes , over 20 years ago ( I was already in another system and didn't want to stop, I should have stopped , I learned more in that one class then I did in five years of kempo) and my niece and friend were your students. Amazing that you have the same energy as you did all those years ago. Stay safe, stay healthy.
Great stuff. I am 70. marine, I learned from an instructor at 18 on this He was 65! I am small boned, slight everywhere. Picked on a lot. Never lost a street fight. Element of surprise!! I did all the karate, tournaments, etc. This man is absolutely right. My father showed me how to slip a punch from age 2.
This is THE BEST street fighting self OFFENSE stuff that I have seen out here. This guy is spot on about people not putting the time in for traditional martial arts to work on the street. He really cares about people enough ti show them stuff they can learn quickly that really works, and not have to take 20 years to be able to do it…..
What he is not so passively emphasising is you have to be fit and you have to train with purpose in order to defend offensively. It needs learning it's not natural. I'd like this man to be my trainer. If you come as a humble student he'll stridently train you within your limits and help you advance. The shouting is great. It makes a student focus. I'm 63 and getting back into shape with a personal non combat trainer. Strength, stamina, speed and flexibility first. His football season starts again soon so I'll be looking for another trainer. I might include some offensive defence training this time. I live I a really chill part of the world. Folk fight for sport here, there's not much aggression that can't be defused with an apology. Violent crime is really rare here. The cops are calm too....no handcuffing if you're not belligerent.
As a Judo practitioner, I must say, your methods and teachings remind me of “verbal Judo” which we use in self-defense situations. Avoiding conflict and learning to quickly take down if that doesn’t work.
The reality is he knows what he's talking about. Forget all that pretty movie or competition stuff that will get you killed or maimed in a real situation. 👍
Love the speech at the end, today's anything is soft, no one trains hard, people get hurt by words not like back in the day when a bully actually hit you but now kids are offing themselves because people say mean things online. There's no school like the old school so I love the way this man breaks it down seriously I miss this kind of teacher we need more of these folks in the public education system! 👏👏👏👏
I just watched this video. It's the first of your videos I've ever seen. Thank you! Your strategies and explanations are bullshit free and make sense. I'm no fighter, nor do I want to be. I'm just an overweight disabled machinist. I had some scraps in my youth, but not in a long time. Thanks again. Very helpful.
What you wrote is EXACTLY how I am, except I was in Fire & Rescue. I was a journeyman Machinist and changed careers to Electrician and did that over 37 years. I made it MY BUSINESS to HELP folks, not hurt them. I can count the fights I partook in, on one hand, in over seventy years. I have a "carry permit" but I Don't pack. I carry pepper gel, if I have no choice. I was interested in this fellow's video and I was reading some of the comments and yours said it as good as I could have, plus it fit me, to a T..
You are on point. I am from the old school of fighting. And I did shotokan, Tichi, wing chin, and jujitsu. I started to combine different arts. I am also a street fighter first. And what you demonstrated. Is exactly what I use on the streets of NYC. I ended before it got serious. And walked away. I even used that same technique against taller guys with a ten inch kitchen knife and walked away. Your fighting style works. Because it makes sense and it the real deal. From just what I saw on video it looks like you teach in NYC. Much respect to you. You are a real teacher. Who teaches a real way to fight. God Bless You.
Long ago, when I was in my 20s, self-defense training options were very limited. Krav Maga was unheard of, for example. Pretty much everything was Karate or Judo. I did join a nearby Korean karate group for a while, though. I didn't last long because none of it was practical. I saw katas, hand conditioning and discovering my spiritual self as wastes of time. I wanted to learn PRACTICAL self-defense in real-world situations. After about six weeks I bagged it, when I refused to jog barefoot on a dirty sidewalk which had obstacles such as broken glass. Also, one of the veteran Korean kids got badly beaten by some a-hole at a gas station. If only there had been an instructor like Professor David back then, and a place like his in my neighborhood -- exactly what I wanted!
Judo is very effective in self-defense as countless actual situations were filmed and posted. Now granted, people who learn Judo have used mind games to sneak those throws and takedowns. But that’s the main principle in self-defense. We call it “verbal Judo”.
This video was SOOO informative. I am a full time father of twins that is 66 years old. Yes, I want to learn how to protect my family. Thank you again!
First time viewer... I'm 66, started training at 16. If there's loud people in a room I usually leave the room. But lol, I love this guy! "Truer words were never spoken".
This is awesome! Back in the 80’s I trained in Kung fu. Our teacher was a street fighter also. I used the element of surprise 3 times on 3 separate occasions on the same guy. Each time he would approach me and he proclaimed he was going to “kick my ass“ then proceeded to take off his jacket. As he was taking off his jacket I popped him with a jab and a cross and game over! I always was prepared to hit first or run first if I was ever out numbered. I was also taught to wear a belt when ever possible and be prepared to use it to defend against weapon attacks. I’m grateful to be able to train even now at 60. Your video just popped up in my feed and you earned another subscriber!
Our Sifu was just complaining to us that the kids these days cry in class. Really pisses her off. She is definitely old school. And yes, we feel the pain in her dojo. Love your content.
You are not only The Master but the Grandmaster. Your knowledge of Martial Arts is universal. You made me realized that knowing Martial Arts are useless knowing only the physicality but also the mentality in relation to your environment. Indeed, you are a true living legend of Grandmaster of Martial Arts. Grandmaster of Martial Arts yet
You are amazing.i lived in the u.s.for 30 years,and you brought tears to my eyes.well done black man well done brother.i am sharif from egypt.i.miss new york i swear to god i do
Perfection. Your presentation skills are fantastic! You got my attention instantly. I learned much from this one video. Keep up the great work. I subscribed on the spot.
This is the first time I've watched this video. I'm 59, After all the videos I've watched, this one makes the most sense and the biggest impression. Keep it up!
Brother i can 100% back your claims because I've lived them myself. Did 17 years and i thought i knew how to handle myself until i had to then it got real resl fast. I went back to my street days leaving the other behind to literally save my life fighting to stay alive against steel me being empty handed but im here to tell you thank you for speaking truth.
I love watching your teachings. However, I do have a question. I’m a 63 yr old gulf war veteran and am looking for a way of defending myself without a weapon. How can I practice these moves at home that would be effective?
Thank you, your realilistic offensive/defense style is exactly what I was looking for! I'm 70+ yrs old, in the very beginning of traditional boxer training with a pro 2 times Golden Gloves boxer. I have the intent of using YOUR techniques, in combination with my current training to achieve my goals. Being old like you, I know I won't become a Profesional boxer but with these two forms of training, it will give me what I originally started out to do. TY very much for sharing your videos with me! I call it reality training and I appreciate your style, OLD timer!!! lol
If you aren't in athletic condition, your body has 30 seconds of energy in all your cells. If it is really go time, it may be wise to end it within that time. Get it done, or it will get done to you.
Best advice is to incorporate your six senses of awareness in your environment to become aware of danger before it occurs & take proactive actions including avoiding confrontations.
Great self defense teacher to show that the most natural low shinkick is the best action to neutralize an attacker. In the street/car/inhouseattack is no nonsense & simple way, the only safety you have. Thnx David.
That was the best explanation of the difference between Martail Arts and Self Defense that has ever been shouted at me. lol. I LOVE the passion, truth and reality. Not enough of that in the self defense world. Just found your channel and I love it.
Hey man great video! I studied taekwondo for a few years, the last studio was the best of the 3 different ones where I trained… people would actually get injured (occasionally) students had day gigs as bouncers at rough night clubs. I’m in my 60s and can still kick a headshot and do a jump kick, but I always knew this shit wouldn’t work in a real street situation. I saw you title for this video and the first thing I thought to my self was kick the knees and then head butt :) but fortunately I haven’t been in a physical confrontation since middle school. Thanks for doing what you do man. Good content. I still keep my training up here and 18:37 and the high kicks a great for coordination, but I would never try something like that in a real fight situation, and your best advice in this video is the notion that you should always talk your way out and defuse the situation first. I can also sprint pretty well too :) great content!
Professor James ! Osu! As a native of the Bronx, who moved to Brooklyn, before relocating to NC -I can relate so well to all that was mentioned. A huge difference in todays Martial Artist vs the way it use to be ...I learned Kyokushin under the great Shihan Randolph James in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn . Growing up with around the true Legends, Professor Vee , Oliver Williams, Ronald Duncan, Moses Powell , and of course Professor David James . It is a very different environment and atmosphere of teaching. Outstanding video that all should take heed. Simple moves , strategies and techniques from the original source. I completely understand the 3 second subdue methods. Proud to watch this video . Osu!
RESPECTS , your right , never under estamate the guy looking for a fight. Greetings from the a martial artist in Switzerland. Stay meak on the streets. 😮
This guy is on point with everything he’s saying especially when he says today in martial arts people don’t want to be touched and the hold resentments if the lose in a sparring session.
It’s great to see old school survival techniques. Im not well trained but understand the concepts from growing up in the same battle ground. I’ve been blessed and lucky. To have made it through those days. Much love and respect ☯️
I was lucky to catch this really excellent video. I was captivated by the truths spoken by Professor David. He has a no nonsense approach to looking after yourself. He is so right, it's not about fighting it's about survival. I started my journey in Martial Arts as a young child in the fifties. And I have always stressed that out in the street there are no rules. On the fight floor if you lose then the next time you try harder. But on the street you absolutely cannot afford to lose. Because if you do there may not be a next time. This is the same message I get from the Professor. I'm old now and have serious issues. But if I lived near where the Professor has his teaching facility, I would like to visit. By the way I subbed immediately. ALL THE BEST TO EVERYONE. .
been involved in the martial arts for 44 years, earned my Black Belt from a world champion, and also trained with a guy certified by Dan Inosanto to teach JKD. This guy is spot on with everything he is saying!
Glad I found your channel again! I watched your videos years ago and never forgot about one of your basic rules- disrupt vision, breathing, and ballance. Fastest way to end a fight 👊🏻
These two have an uncanny way of dissecting the truth from varying scenarios and bringing it forth in layman's terms for all to understand. Truly at the forefront of the self defense realm. If anyone wants to know about any self defense situation / scenario, I strongly suggest contacting Professor David and Shihan Ken. These two know what works and what is just fluff. They both "live this stuff". Not wanna be weekend warriors. Truly blessed to have them impart their wisdom to all. And FREE too!! So, no excuses people!! Take what they teach and train hard. Ous.
I came across this video and I have to say that what you said in the video I never thought about that and you're absolutely right. Thank you for taking the time to teach and spread knowledge, I appreciate you🙏🏾
Great stuff, thought I was being yelled at by my DI 60 years ago on Parris Island. After a certain age, ending it swiftly is an absolute necessity. Thank you!
You must not realize all uppercase letters indicates YELLING and SCREAMING, certainly not your intent. For almost all forums all uppercase letters are frowned upon. Reason is they are more difficult reading than all lowercase letters thus many folks will not read those posts. Also, I am not aware of any newsprint, business correspondence, magazine, and the like printed with all uppercase letters, none.
Awesome energy and delivery of the lesson! You're the same build as the younger guy but your hands are so huge and powerful looking. Thank you Professor!
This man is legit I'm from Brooklyn, 56 years old .I boxed took martial arts for years been a street fighter since I was a kid. But fighting and self defense are very different and the way he explains it is 💯 hope to visit your school when I'm back in NY. Much respect!!
because I am here (In a new region of Canada - from prairie to Edmonton) --- I will see to it the inception of a community tai chi club to be brought about by participation in ushering in the positive future ...
God damm brother I love you.!!!!!!!! I watched your video and was transported back to to my service in the navy…!!! When I was trained in hand to hand combat… Please don’t stop instructing people You are an awesome Simply AWESOME instructor
Thus was the first time I saw one of your videos. You're right...I'm no fighter, nor do I ever WANT to be. I was in Fire & Rescue, for 21 years, (volunteer) and did that while I was off duty from work . During that time period, I was a journeyman Machinist and changed careers to Electrician and did that over 37 years. I made it MY BUSINESS to HELP folks, not hurt them. I can count the fights I partook in, on one hand, in over seventy years. I have a "carry permit" but I Don't pack. I carry pepper gel, if I have no choice. I intend on watching more of your videos. I subbed. (The other commentors are right...your voice would scare the hell out of ANY attacker!)

Even his voice is kicking my ass😂

@@MasterK9Trainer One of the best replies I've ever seen
His teacher was the same. The martial art they used was for self defense. Made by a woman originally. Fun fact about win chun

Bless you Professor. No one can run backwards faster than an opponent runs forward. Thinking Offensively is thinking rationally.. save defense for Court!
Thank you I’m 62 years old and I think I learned something from your video I like your way
I started in traditional martial arts since 1971 on a daily basis, and I'm 65, almost 66 now. I'm still learning. Much love and respect to Professor David and Shihan Kenny.
As a Texan, I have never had a desire to live or visit NY. But, if I ever did, I would come train with you. Even at age 61. Thank you for being real.
Likewise.
I’m in Watauga Tx and ditto
Same here, another Texas fan.
Careful, he is saying a lot of stuff that will get you sucker punched.
@@OldManPaxusYTso what do you recommend
He is telling 100% truth. It was really funny people still think that there’s magical powers in self-defense.
BUT WHY HE HOLLERING THO. THATS DRILL SGT ALL DAY LONG. Um just saying. WHY HE HOLLERING HE CAN'T HEAR OR SMTHIN. Nice techniques tho
@@MarkusBracey-cs5rm good question
@@MarkusBracey-cs5rm
Just to drive his point home like saying there's a fire whisper quiet isn't as attention grabbing as " Hey, fire!"

That was slow and I couldn't block it. Rock n roll. Word.
Great job guys.
What he is not so passively emphasising is you have to be fit and you have to train with purpose in order to defend offensively.
It needs learning it's not natural.
I'd like this man to be my trainer. If you come as a humble student he'll stridently train you within your limits and help you advance. The shouting is great. It makes a student focus.
I'm 63 and getting back into shape with a personal non combat trainer. Strength, stamina, speed and flexibility first. His football season starts again soon so I'll be looking for another trainer. I might include some offensive defence training this time.
I live I a really chill part of the world. Folk fight for sport here, there's not much aggression that can't be defused with an apology. Violent crime is really rare here. The cops are calm too....no handcuffing if you're not belligerent.

You wouldn’t get maimed if you use Judo in self-defense. Once you grab him, he is thrown to the concrete.

Once again great stuff...
Thank You For Being You!! When It Goes Down - It Ain’t No Joke!! Our Best Defense - Is Our Best Offense!!
Well done sir peace
I love this brother energy and he speaks “the truth” Todays martial artist is not the same as old school
If you aren't in athletic condition, your body has 30 seconds of energy in all your cells. If it is really go time, it may be wise to end it within that time. Get it done, or it will get done to you.
Best advice is to incorporate your six senses of awareness in your environment to become aware of danger before it occurs & take proactive actions including avoiding confrontations.
Great self defense teacher to show that the most natural low shinkick is the best action to neutralize an attacker. In the street/car/inhouseattack is no nonsense & simple way, the only safety you have. Thnx David.
Professor, anything you find useful in Shaolin chin na? I found one it's sealing the breath it works. To seal and unseal.
That was the best explanation of the difference between Martail Arts and Self Defense that has ever been shouted at me. lol. I LOVE the passion, truth and reality. Not enough of that in the self defense world. Just found your channel and I love it.
Agreed. Txs. Peace
Hey, pay attention, if you dont, I will make sure my screaming will get your attention!
I would like to say thank you for your broadcast I’m a 60+ year old, young senior, who enjoyed martial arts in my earlier years thank you
How to end a street fight in 3 seconds......takes you over 18 mins?
He's explaining and teaching. PAY ATTENTION!
@@daviddelgado4620 I am you moran! End a fight in 3 seconds? Show how.....takes you less than 5. You pay attention
Hey man great video! I studied taekwondo for a few years, the last studio was the best of the 3 different ones where I trained… people would actually get injured (occasionally) students had day gigs as bouncers at rough night clubs. I’m in my 60s and can still kick a headshot and do a jump kick, but I always knew this shit wouldn’t work in a real street situation. I saw you title for this video and the first thing I thought to my self was kick the knees and then head butt :) but fortunately I haven’t been in a physical confrontation since middle school. Thanks for doing what you do man. Good content. I still keep my training up here and 18:37 and the high kicks a great for coordination, but I would never try something like that in a real fight situation, and your best advice in this video is the notion that you should always talk your way out and defuse the situation first. I can also sprint pretty well too :) great content!
Professor James ! Osu! As a native of the Bronx, who moved to Brooklyn, before relocating to NC -I can relate so well to all that was mentioned. A huge difference in todays Martial Artist vs the way it use to be ...I learned Kyokushin under the great Shihan Randolph James in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn . Growing up with around the true Legends, Professor Vee , Oliver Williams, Ronald Duncan, Moses Powell , and of course Professor David James . It is a very different environment and atmosphere of teaching. Outstanding video that all should take heed. Simple moves , strategies and techniques from the original source. I completely understand the 3 second subdue methods. Proud to watch this video . Osu!
I like this guy. He is one of the few fighters whose videos are realistically grounded for actual, real life street fighting
RESPECTS , your right , never under estamate the guy looking for a fight. Greetings from the a martial artist in Switzerland. Stay meak on the streets. 😮
This guy is on point with everything he’s saying especially when he says today in martial arts people don’t want to be touched and the hold resentments if the lose in a sparring session.
It’s great to see old school survival techniques. Im not well trained but understand the concepts from growing up in the same battle ground. I’ve been blessed and lucky. To have made it through those days. Much love and respect ☯️
I was lucky to catch this really excellent video. I was captivated by the truths spoken by Professor David. He has a no nonsense approach to looking after yourself. He is so right, it's not about fighting it's about survival.
I started my journey in Martial Arts as a young child in the fifties. And I have always stressed that out in the street there are no rules. On the fight floor if you lose then the next time you try harder. But on the street you absolutely cannot afford to lose. Because if you do there may not be a next time. This is the same message I get from the Professor.
I'm old now and have serious issues. But if I lived near where the Professor has his teaching facility, I would like to visit.
By the way I subbed immediately.
ALL THE BEST TO EVERYONE.
.
God bless you Prof Dave. Thanks for sharing your PD story as well as your skills. Keep that torch burning sir!
been involved in the martial arts for 44 years, earned my Black Belt from a world champion, and also trained with a guy certified by Dan Inosanto to teach JKD. This guy is spot on with everything he is saying!
Glad I found your channel again! I watched your videos years ago and never forgot about one of your basic rules- disrupt vision, breathing, and ballance. Fastest way to end a fight 👊🏻
Your the best. I will surely survive the fight.
Your only as good as your next fight 💪💪💪👍
These two have an uncanny way of dissecting the truth from varying scenarios and bringing it forth in layman's terms for all to understand. Truly at the forefront of the self defense realm. If anyone wants to know about any self defense situation / scenario, I strongly suggest contacting Professor David and Shihan Ken.
These two know what works and what is just fluff. They both "live this stuff". Not wanna be weekend warriors. Truly blessed to have them impart their wisdom to all. And FREE too!! So, no excuses people!! Take what they teach and train hard. Ous.
I came across this video and I have to say that what you said in the video I never thought about that and you're absolutely right. Thank you for taking the time to teach and spread knowledge, I appreciate you🙏🏾
Just found your video, love the way you teach. No bullshit and honesty. I look forward to following your future teachings.
Bob from the UK 👍👍
100 percent right. If u have had real fights. Aggressive action is the only thing that ever works.
Great stuff, thought I was being yelled at by my DI 60 years ago on Parris Island. After a certain age, ending it swiftly is an absolute necessity. Thank you!
I love this! Finally! He's absolutely right. Plus I love the ranting.
Well done! Great tips. Thank you Sir.
As a woman in my youth i new Close Quarter Combat was essential and as an old woman your videos will be most helpful. Thank you.
thank you for teaching reality street self defense
"OLD SCHOOL HERE "
THANK YOU FOR THIS ONE, DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME I WOULD HAVE IN A FIGHT. THIS GIVES ME A GREAT MOMENT IN THE FIGHT.
THANKS AGAIN.
You must not realize all uppercase letters indicates YELLING and SCREAMING, certainly not your intent. For almost all forums all uppercase letters are frowned upon. Reason is they are more difficult reading than all lowercase letters thus many folks will not read those posts. Also, I am not aware of any newsprint, business correspondence, magazine, and the like printed with all uppercase letters, none.
Thank you brother for the straight talk. You may wake up a few and save their life!
Your talking about the mindset of self defense (and not the one of fighting) is of significant importance and much appreciated!!
Awesome energy and delivery of the lesson! You're the same build as the younger guy but your hands are so huge and powerful looking. Thank you Professor!
This man is legit I'm from Brooklyn, 56 years old .I boxed took martial arts for years been a street fighter since I was a kid. But fighting and self defense are very different and the way he explains it is 💯 hope to visit your school when I'm back in NY. Much respect!!
because I am here (In a new region of Canada - from prairie to Edmonton) --- I will see to it the inception of a community tai chi club to be brought about by participation in ushering in the positive future ...
God damm brother I love you.!!!!!!!!
I watched your video and was transported back to to my service in the navy…!!! When I was trained in hand to hand combat…
Please don’t stop instructing people
You are an awesome Simply AWESOME instructor
Thus was the first time I saw one of your videos. You're right...I'm no fighter, nor do I ever WANT to be.
I was in Fire & Rescue, for 21 years, (volunteer) and did that while I was off duty from work . During that time period, I was a journeyman Machinist and changed careers to Electrician and did that over 37 years. I made it MY BUSINESS to HELP folks, not hurt them. I can count the fights I partook in, on one hand, in over seventy years. I have a "carry permit" but I Don't pack. I carry pepper gel, if I have no choice. I intend on watching more of your videos. I subbed. (The other commentors are right...your voice would scare the hell out of ANY attacker!)
I LOVE THIS GUY HE TELLS IT LIKE IT IS & IS SPOT ON,BEST SELF DEFENSE VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.
