Carrying a shillelagh walking stick is a good option....There are some excellent schools for learning to use them well, but they don't take much creativity to discover how useful one can be.... You can discover and train your own methods therewith, both defencively and offencively, (alongside your empty hands training)), and, once have an idea of martial principles, and the effectiveness thereof cannot be overstated. The same goes for the Kubotan Keychain, and other similar devices. Basic everyday and household objects are also useful to look into and train the effectiveness thereof, and can easily be carried and made easily accessible as one grows older. The simple biro, especially certain brands and types, cannot possibly be overstated, also...

it is better to be ready at all times than being sorry when it comes least expected. I am 42 myself and I still practice. a few wrist locks, arm locks, coupled with boxing skills, good footwork, a few kali skills, should do the trick.
I found that as you get older, distance becomes an ally. The younger fighter is going to have more speed, strength and stamina. So, what other options do you have in your favor? One strike options is always going to be most favorable. Learning and remembering several key strike points and zones would be a big help here. Secondly, maintaining mobility to limit the likelihood of receiving impacts from well aimed attacks is probably your next best option. Intended to give you just enough time to extract yourself from immanent harm. Other than those rules, if I id a trouble situation or an assailant heading my way. I go off in the opposite direction. Again,distance is my ally. It's not about whether you're being unmanly. With so many nutters out there, it's about surviving.
33 years wing chun / street fighting and this is the only guy that i would walk away from if he wanted to 'dance.' Street simple. No mercy. Keep up the great work in schooling people in the art of self defense.
I agree with your eye contact from a defensive standpoint, although I have fought many that telegraph with eyes, but have found it effective from an offensive standpoint. Then again this is from the standpoint of tournament fighting. I have been lucky enough to de escalate from street fights for the last 30 years or so. Appreciate your channel, big fan
The most worthwhile videos I've ever subbed to. These are worth their weight in gold! I'm 65, many, many fights under my belt. These videos are spot on.
Shifting weight onto a particular leg is one of the biggest indicators, particularly when someone is going to kick. A trained boxer may be very hard to read, particularly if they have street experience also...( They will have the shot already loaded, in their initial stance....) But most lads will give it away with the shoulders...
Training in judo and boxing will give you the natural indicators preluding an attack. Weight shift, hand leg movement whatever etc. One often underlooked area is footwork!
50 years ago the British Bantam Weight Champion challenged me to hit him, in a friendly demonstration. Obviously I failed. Now I understand how he was able to read my moves and avoid me. Mohamed Ali was another boxer who could avoid his opponent’s every move. A great explanation and valuable lesson.
I had to read the comment twice because I couldn't believe what my eyes were showing me, I thought it said *"Kicking* on the mouth" the first time I read it X'D...
"Who spins to kick in a street fight?" - I know a guy who actually got off. Bullies were I don't know, first grade of high school and he was about 2 years younger. In act of desperation, almost cornered, he spin kicked the leader, knocking him down. Rest off the guys TOOK notice. Rare, but still happens. If you look closely, most of typical bullies, not gangsters, have very similar group composition. There's withdrawn, cold an strong one, there's a 'nice' guy, there's small, unimposing loudmouth, there's a leader and possibly one other. Knock down either leader or 'muscle' and group usually switches to peace mode.
Yeah ive done it. I think its a good one for a foght cuz it creates distance and moves your head back a bit. And theres a lot of weight and momentum behind it, it can pierce to the body quite easily if you do the kick right obviously
A guy threw a shopping trolley at me once, I knocked it away with a spinning back kick & it stopped the fight straight away, he was obviously surprised, but so was I, it could have gone so wrong, but I got lucky & hit the side instead of my foot going into it & getting caught up. I was probably almost as surprised & impressed as he was.
Not always but, when you’re outnumbered they’re usually the type that never want to go one on one. That often times means each of them is expecting their buddy standing with them to make the first move on the intended victim. This allows them to be sure not to take any damage and jump in without any risk of injury. If you have no way to escape or talk them down and you assess that none of them wants to be the first to strike use it to your advantage. You can definitely get a shot at the first guy and most likely the second. When you do that make them shots to do serious damage. Nothing but incapacitating strikes.
Thank you so much for this and all your videos! As a martial arts practitioner, along with our forms, conditioning, training etc... it is so important to know when to utilise all of it. We cannot use a block if we dont read a strike coming. Absolutley brilliant videos. Once again... thank you 🙏
@@erich.2550 my head is fine, thx. his definitions are completely wrong. Wind is by definition the movement of air, not the stillness of it. mirrors reflect , not react.
Reading the shoulders is a good indicator. We used to do a reaction drill. The training partner/bad guy has to tap you on any shoulder with any arm (simulating a jab or straight punch) Haymakers take longer. The defender has to palm strike their shoulders (the one that's moving) to stop them in their tracks. I was amazed when i learnt it. Felt like a super power. I used to ask people at school to try and hit me and practice. Now I'm slow and old lol
@@anthonybrogan390 I refuse to die in the hands of an idiot. I will happy go to jail any day for defending myself, my loved ones or someone who needs help since I would also love to be helped if I need assistance.
Yeah im69yrs and workout at KungFu SanSoo, 3-4 times a week. When “old age” doesn’t play a trump card...SanSoo is loosely interpreted as “Street fighting” form of Kung Fu. In that the study is to incorporate the fighting techniques in a Street fighting forMatt. So back to you whenever I watch your videos I see exactly what we are trying to accomplish. I learn from every time I watch you and I also feel fulfilled most of the time I watch you because it’s so logical. And dare I say similar. I see you are smack in these comments and just want you to know that there’s somebody out there that the Texas stuff to heart and really appreciate the confirmation. Which is what I get from your videos thank you very much. Just some old guy
Just something from my 16years of martial arts and (unfortunately) alot of street fights: the look away and the step back are truly the 2 most important signs. Why is that? Steping back even slightly with one foot is to gain balance and have enough force to punch (no untrained person can really hit correct from a square position). Why the look away? This person is preparing him to punch you by looking away. even for a short moment he dehumanzied you. Think like this: if we were just talking and discussing and i looked u in the eyes i will feel emotions etc. by looking away i cut that tie, and it will be easier for me to do damage to you. Theres 2 types here those who don’t want to punch or don’t really feel good doing that (those will do the look away like 95%). But there are also psYchos and/or trained people who will punch you while looking straight into your eyes and without telegraphing almost anything. So always keep your hands up in a defensive but non aggressive position („the thinker“) and be prepared to block or strike first. Have a nice day guys🤝🔥
Moving offline at such a moment is of tremendous value. It covers high and low attacks, and can load your counter also....You can block as you move also, and cover all angles.
Good video. You just woke me up. I have a lot of knowledge to share with the world. I will try TH-cam also. I first brought the world Chinese martial arts federation in the Caribbean. Thanks for waking me up. God bless you forever.
Great video. In my experience though there are quite a lot of people who definitely try a spinkick if they got the room for it. Almost every guy who visited a karate school for 2 or 3 years might go for this move.
Way we tried not to telegraph strikes was, used to balance weights on head then practice low kicks, ankle mainly as first strike then follow up with combinations. Really like your videos there to the point and none of the usual bull.
Thank you so much makes too much sense LOL has almost like a dead giveaway because most characters you encounter on the street will definitely make it easy for you to read them
I love your videos and your knowledge. I do disagree with not looking at the eyes. If you look at someone in the eyes you can see the shoulders and upper body move. Also i tend to get a vibe when someone wants to strike. I also notice a lot of people will look where they want to strike
So many good points to think about & try. For me 1.30 rang true. I've seen this so many times. I also think it's a way for the aggressor to load up without drawing attention to it. Then bam!!
The best cues are watching the front elbow and front knee. They move at 1/2 speed when doing a straight punch or kick, and 1/4 speed when doing a hook or side kick. If you watch the fist or feet, they travel too fast to catch. Watching the shoulders can also be deceiving. They can feint the shoulder movement, causing you to respond, then he will throw the real punch while you are dropping your hands.
The only way to *"see punches coming"* is sparring or shadowboxing while practicing your head movement and blocks, and a whole lot of it, and then a whole lot more of it, and them some more. You have to have your stance right and guard up, ready to throw the straight punches.... Basically the punches that are most likely to connect are the straight punches and hooks, uppercuts usually connect as part of a combination.... So let's discuss the blocks appropriate for all kinds of punches.... *Straight punches* So if someone is straight punching you, you simply stop their punches by putting one or both hands up, and blocking their hands before it achieves it's full extension, and in case of powerful cross punches, deflecting them to a position where your head won't be, this will expose them for your hits to land. *Essentially what you are doing is turning your hands in to the target instead of your head, like a mitt* *YOU WILL ALWAYS USE YOUR ANTAGONISTIC HANDS TO INTERCEPT THEIR STRAIGHT PUNCHES, IF THEY THROW A LEFT STRAIGHT YOU WILL INTERCEPT IT WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND WHILE MOVING YOUR BODY AND HEAD TO THE RIGHT, IF THEY THROW A RIGHT STRAIGHT YOU WILL INTERCEPT IT WITH YOUR LEFT HAND, MOVING YOUR HEAD AND BODY TO THE LEFT* *Hook punches* Same approach is ideal for hook punches, using antagonistic hands, but always use 360 blocking technique for hook punches, it's the safest and most effective block, please TH-cam "360 defense krav maga". *Uppercuts* Simply block those punches by intercepting them with your elbows. *Now all of these things will be possible ONLY IF YOU HAVE YOUR GUARD UP, IN A SQUARED STANCE, LIKE MIKE TYSON* If you have that guard up you will be able to block any straight or hook punch, but whether you can keep doing that is the real question, that's where practice comes into play. If you really concentrate in your shadow boxing, *YOU CAN GET BETTER AT BLOCKING WITH ONLY SHADOWBOXING, BUT YOU HAVE TO VISUALIZE THAT SCENARIO IN YOUR MIND*
My wife studies w/FightScience. She tells me she will never leave me for anything or anyone EXCEPT for YOU. I can't get mad or blame her cuz she would kick my azz! Lol😄
FOR A NORMAL DRAGON KICK YOU ARE RIGHT,PEOPLE MIGHT SEE THE KICK BUT THERE IS ONE KICK THAT IS TWICE AS FAST THAN THE DRAGON KICK,"THE TALE OF THE DRAGON KICK",IS A KICK TWICE AS FAST AS THE NORMAL DRAGON KICK,THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT YOU ARE NIT USING THE NORMAL "360 DEGREES HEAD MOVE",IN THE DRAGON KICK YOU NORMALLY USE THIS SPIN OF YOUR HEAD TO KNOW WHERE TO PUT THE KICK,BUT IN THE "TALE DRAGON KICK" YOU DON'T USE IT,SO YOU GAINED TWICE OF THE SPEED BUT LOST EXACTLY PRECISION(THE NORMAL.KICK DOES);THIS TALE KICK I USED IT ONCE IN A "STREET FIGHT" AND THE GUY(WHO HAD BOXING TRAINING) DIDN'T SEE IT COMING AND I HIT HIS KIDNEY AND BEND HIM,THIS KICK REALLY WORKS IN A "STREET FIGHT"!!
I know this may sound crazy but I had a Sifu that could kick you without moving up, down, left or right. He's older now but he trained a sort of roundhouse where he rolled his hip. When he hit you your body shook . He said he learned it from a tai boxer.
Thank you . Your videos are very informative and educational and can help regular folks like me who aren't mma fighters and dont fight everyday . I'm a small guy and can hold my own but as a small guy I always helpful to learn techniques for them big bastards who don't wanna go down . We gotta get the first punches in cause if we don't it may be too late .
I always direct my vision in an area just below the chin or on the area where the collar bones meet. in this way, I can monitor the movement of the person in front of me. From that point, I expand my peripheral vision so that I can see the movement of his shoulders. I don't look in the eyes.
I don’t understand it but everywhere I go, and even if I drink and provoke whether I go to the hood or down town night alone or day alone gang or no gang people see me and are friendly to me. Instantly they submit. I’m skinny they can throw me like a tennis ball if they want to. Sometimes, I can’t believe it myself. Now that I’m very confident, I go to the worst part of the city alone, everyone I see in the eye straight will node or see the other way. Really Scares me. Any one out there With such an experience?
One of the best SD things I have ever heard is Marc MacYoung saying "I give you permission to walk away." A lot of young guys in particular get into an ego battle and their ego won't let them walk away because they think is it being a pussy. But MacYoung, a recognized martial arts badass and expert giving you permission, your ego takes less of a hit. If you have to back down just say "Marc gave me permission."
Normally I would agree with you about these basics, but I think I could hit(I have hit) people without moving my shoulders at at. But this comes from understanding how your levers work. Most "martial artists " don't understand what this is,but,other than that little disagreement...carry on with it
I learned a lot watching you videos, I try to stay up on it, I'm 51 and there's a lot of young guys around, you never know when one starts feeling his oats. Thanks.

The defender has to palm strike their shoulders (the one that's moving) to stop them in their tracks.
I was amazed when i learnt it. Felt like a super power. I used to ask people at school to try and hit me and practice.

Never start or instigate a fight but if you are forced too go for the kill. Have no mercy; your life literally depends on it.

استاد عالی بود .. 👍👍
The only way to *"see punches coming"* is sparring or shadowboxing while practicing your head movement and blocks, and a whole lot of it, and then a whole lot more of it, and them some more.
You have to have your stance right and guard up, ready to throw the straight punches....
Basically the punches that are most likely to connect are the straight punches and hooks, uppercuts usually connect as part of a combination....
So let's discuss the blocks appropriate for all kinds of punches....
*Straight punches*
So if someone is straight punching you, you simply stop their punches by putting one or both hands up, and blocking their hands before it achieves it's full extension, and in case of powerful cross punches, deflecting them to a position where your head won't be, this will expose them for your hits to land.
*Essentially what you are doing is turning your hands in to the target instead of your head, like a mitt*
*YOU WILL ALWAYS USE YOUR ANTAGONISTIC HANDS TO INTERCEPT THEIR STRAIGHT PUNCHES, IF THEY THROW A LEFT STRAIGHT YOU WILL INTERCEPT IT WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND WHILE MOVING YOUR BODY AND HEAD TO THE RIGHT, IF THEY THROW A RIGHT STRAIGHT YOU WILL INTERCEPT IT WITH YOUR LEFT HAND, MOVING YOUR HEAD AND BODY TO THE LEFT*
*Hook punches*
Same approach is ideal for hook punches, using antagonistic hands, but always use 360 blocking technique for hook punches, it's the safest and most effective block, please TH-cam "360 defense krav maga".
*Uppercuts*
Simply block those punches by intercepting them with your elbows.
*Now all of these things will be possible ONLY IF YOU HAVE YOUR GUARD UP, IN A SQUARED STANCE, LIKE MIKE TYSON*
If you have that guard up you will be able to block any straight or hook punch, but whether you can keep doing that is the real question, that's where practice comes into play.
If you really concentrate in your shadow boxing, *YOU CAN GET BETTER AT BLOCKING WITH ONLY SHADOWBOXING, BUT YOU HAVE TO VISUALIZE THAT SCENARIO IN YOUR MIND*
You are a very good teacher im interested
Excellent

I know this may sound crazy but I had a Sifu that could kick you without moving up, down, left or right. He's older now but he trained a sort of roundhouse where he rolled his hip. When he hit you your body shook . He said he learned it from a tai boxer.
Yes. It is possible. Although very rare and certainly not likely in ordinary people. Your Sifu must of been very talented.
Great video as always Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.
Merry Christmas to you too my friend.
Thank you

So basically he's saying focus on the Center line because that's where the Limbs connect which you can tell when someone will make a move.
Great thanks
I always direct my vision in an area just below the chin or on the area where the collar bones meet. in this way, I can monitor the movement of the person in front of me. From that point, I expand my peripheral vision so that I can see the movement of his shoulders. I don't look in the eyes.
I have always said this the shoulder movement gives away everything
Good video
Thank you for watching. It's much appreciated.
The shoulder observations- the technique & movement- àlways good to know very usefull. V good . Thanks

Nice thanks
A lot of attackers approach from behind or the side as you are walking. Not from the front. But obviously that happens too.
I don’t understand it but everywhere I go, and even if I drink and provoke whether I go to the hood or down town night alone or day alone gang or no gang people see me and are friendly to me. Instantly they submit.
I’m skinny they can throw me like a tennis ball if they want to. Sometimes, I can’t believe it myself.
Now that I’m very confident, I go to the worst part of the city alone, everyone I see in the eye straight will node or see the other way.
Really Scares me. Any one out there
With such an experience?
Thanks I like that I never knew about that your good 😄🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
i like this guy and his trolling smile ...
One of the best SD things I have ever heard is Marc MacYoung saying "I give you permission to walk away." A lot of young guys in particular get into an ego battle and their ego won't let them walk away because they think is it being a pussy. But MacYoung, a recognized martial arts badass and expert giving you permission, your ego takes less of a hit. If you have to back down just say "Marc gave me permission."
What about the guy who jumps up and lands up on the roof? Oh my bad, watching too many Chinese kungfu movies.
Normally I would agree with you about these basics, but I think I could hit(I have hit) people without moving my shoulders at at. But this comes from understanding how your levers work.
Most "martial artists " don't understand what this is,but,other than that little disagreement...carry on with it
