One of the most common ways most people fight is with the one arm lapel grab, which basically just means someone coming, grabbing you by the shirt, and punching you nonstop.
Another unorthodox way is an attacker coming at you throwing wild punches randomly, with a lot of force behind them. Both manners are unexpected and happen quickly, you don't know what your attacker could be thinking or how he will react. You should be aware of everything and anything, in this case.
You should expect the unexpected in this type of situation. Question whether your attacker has backup, or if he is carrying a weapon. You have to assume the worst.
For the one arm lapel, seeing as your attacker is much larger than you, he has the upper hand in strength. When he grabs you by your shirt, you need to be aware that the arm that is there might strike you when you least expect it. So, it is best to trap it there, just to be safe.
Having blocked the arm that has grabbed you, you need to see if you can find an opportunity to block his strikes that are coming from his other hand.
Strength plays a big role here. If you try to out-muscle such a larger and bigger opponent, you might end up on the ground, with him towering over you. You want to avoid this.
Instead, your goal should be to trap his arms and hands before your attacker starts to strike you. Bringing his arm down and using all your force to keep him there could help you survive the situation.
In self-defense, size does matter, along with speed and range. However, just because you are smaller than your attacker does not mean you should let him have the upper hand and injure you to the point of death! Being smart, and applying intelligent techniques and movement can help you survive the outcome.

You make the BEST self-defense videos I have seen online. They're accessible, practical, and don't require fancy wrist manipulations and parries like most of the street self-defense and Krav Maga I've run across online.
Thank you very much Mike for your feedback, it's much appreciated. Take care and stay safe.
This doesn't work on my Russian gf.

Why did you mess this awesome image of this guy with Murr?!? Now I feel like he lost a bet and is trying to teach defense. God damnit.

I've been teaching for 25 years. I've seen a lot of the tough guy stuff that tells you what happens "on the street" and "in a real situation..." I've heard all the "Krav Maga, man!" And "90% of the fights end up on the ground..."
Blah, blah, blah.
This video is good. You teach very important concepts about the dynamics, the unknowns (or randomness), distance, and what can best be done in these difficult situations.
I appreciate your approach!
Wouldn't it be nice to actually experience a fight or even a car wreck or being thrown from a horse or...whatever. These situations are risky no doubt but how would one ever know about the time dialation (slowing down reaaalllll slllloooooowwww) where there seems to be an enormous amount of time to make decisions? No way jose does any martial art training help one to look as if they are IP MAN!! Grins. Street fighting is an entirely different universe. I remember a few fights as a kid perfectly as if they were yesterday. Everything is crystal clear, I remember every step, where my little brother that was being beat up sat watching, how many people were there yet there was absolutely no hesitation. This one fight protecting my little bro when I was 8 years old, a scrawny as hell little GIRL is one of my most detailed complete memories. No words, nada. I had to jump up on this boy twice as tall as meself, I reached down his back and grabbed the skin of his lower back and ripped it up to his head. Seriously. He threw me down on the back of my head on the concrete and we both went to the emergency room. Him with 70 plus stitches, me with yet another concussion. My little brother was never bothered again well, where we lived then!! I never thought any rationale thought. I do remember as soon as I was told he was in trouble the distinct dizziness, clear pictures of everything and no fear, no pain...nada. So I've had a few circumstances with time slowing way down, the dizziness before a 'street fight', the clear path and even being thrown from a horse gives one the confidence from knowing the amount of time to make decisions (automatically for sure), roll, protect oneself somewhat, knowing there is no pain at all and having to take a few breaths to come back to normal time...to not fear confrontations. Dance, athletics, physical fitness, martial arts are critical to train one's body how to react. But street fighting is an amazingly different world. And close up, rolling on the ground is the best place to be with any opponent. They don't have the room to get momentum and the bigger one is the less flexible and more surprised when a wiry little girl gets in their face, I kid you NOT! Never give them time to even assess you, your strength, your gender! You'll be far more motivated to end a fight than they will and up close you have all the tools at your disposal...the throat, eyes, ears, and groin for starters and one does not need strength to bring a big person down at all!! Surprise is POWERFUL.
+stormy well im not gonna read all that, but its good to train the body for endurance so when getting hit u can still stand up from the punch when possible.

I KNOW, my goodness! That was quite the little essay. Grins. Hey, I was in perfect shape, ready for a punch and well, when one allows a hit they learn very quickly not to let that happen again. UGH. That IS the difference between small and large. That is why I get so close they are unable to hit like that. UGH. I was talking to 'little people'...not Jack Reacher types! ha ha
Untrained fighters were Bruce Lee’s frequent go-to sparring partners because they are so wild and unpredictable.
Bruce Lee ... NEVER FOUGHT
The last seconds of the video are my favorite when the smaller guy teaching comes back with the quick jabs to the face and the trip. Then, you get a feeling of what hes capable of.
Well that part was more the 5 seconds
Whatever you do, Speed is the most important factor. It surpasses Strength and Size by far. When an opponent grabs hold of you, in effect also have hold of them. When an attacker does grab, you are now having to deal with a one-armed opponent! You now have better odds of surviving the encounter.
Don't bother using one of your arms to control the opponent's arm, as you will then even the odds . . . NOT a good choice. Rather press your body into his arm, thereby 'pinning' his arm to you and, if possible, also break his balance. If you use the contact point of his hand on your chest, you can pivot to the outside sweeping his arm across his body, putting his arm in the way of his other arm, minimizing any chance he might strike with that arm/hand.
Whatever you do, Speed is the most important factor . . . so strike him as many times as practical, using both hands/arms, (elbows, etc.), while his balance is momentarily broken.
Don't tie yourself up Dancing with your opponent, you never know what his skill level is or if someone else wants to join in.
So many things that can be done when you're fighting a one-armed opponent . . . experiment and have Fun. I'm 6'5" and about 250 lbs and it works on opponents regardless of their size and weight, but NEVER try to use Strength against a larger opponent when so many other options are available!
Be Well
Great comment Johnny, very well said. Speed does indeed play a huge role in self-defense. It's great to have your input on this video. Take care and stay safe.
@@codereddefense,
Thank you for your response. I commented as I did because of what I experienced over the years with respect to my physical 'health' as well as through the illness called "Aging". one of the things that I discovered was that the normal losses associated with illness or age could be easily compensated by training to become "Functionally Fast" or "Functionally Strong".
ISo much useful knowledge is available if one can learn to think differently about how they approach their goal(s).
Scientia Potentia Est
Be Well
I think it is a good video. Also I believe there is some truth to what you say. But I'd rather be twice the size then twice as fast. When we talk about 5'8" 150 range vs a 6'4" 260, boxing, kickboxing, and most traditional arts will have many flaws. They still help your odds, any training does that. But at that size difference if the smaller person messes up once it is highly likely he will be in a horrible position. Like the student who tried this technique. He got hit multiple times before he successfully grabbed. Very likely he would've been out. So if your watching this just know you have to practice it if you want it to have any effect. My personal opinion is the smartest most well trained person in distance management will usually win the fight. BJJ philosophy "Whoever manages the distance, manages the damage that can be dealt. I believe if you train traditional arts such as Karate, Taekwondo, Wing Chun, etc. or boxing for 5 years you will have a 40% chance of winning a fight like this against a person with a similar age/build as you but 110pounds bigger with no fighting background. However I believe it's more around 80% in the same scenario but training BJJ. Also I believe Judo would be even better then that against someone within 60pounds of you.
Yes, all your points are well taken and do apply to the "External" Methods, but there are a lot of things that you might not be taking into account. In any case, some of the Old Teachings say that Size, Strength and even Speed are Natural conditions and that no reliance should be placed on them . . .and not without good reason.
If all that was required to win a fight was Size, then smaller people should just lie down and accept defeat, and if developing Fighting Skills were useless in being able to defend against a larger opponent produced the same outcome, why bother?
If you are on the receiving end of an attack that is over before you can even react to it, never mind respond, then you could lose your
contest before you're even aware that you've lost your fight.
I base my comments on over 50 years of experience and Research into these ,matters, so my opinion would most likely be different from yours, but it is still nothing more than my opinion.
Be Well
Surprise and ferocity beats speed, strength, and everything else. Go fucking berserk like your only purpose is to kill everything in the room and you won't even know what you're doing but it will work. Just the growling alone will cause people to evacuate the area. Only problem with this is it seems to unlock all the energy in your body all at once so that you're burnt out in just minutes but you have superhuman strength and also the damage that will be done to one's opponent will in all likelihood be terrifying and fatal. This will never happen in a training scenario you have to be doing something like I was doing running around in a blizzard in forests far north miles away from any humans facing off against wild forest animals.

Don't fight unless you really have to , Then get your retaliation in first Why have you allowed him to grab your shirt . it is all uphill after that.
well, as long as i can put on helmet and call "break" after I get hit, I'll be fine.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that
Proverbs 19:23
23 The fear of the Lord tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
Does this mean not to fight
Dealing with wild swings is only difficult if you try to chase hands. Because you will never be able to keep up or predict accurately due to the speed of the hands and also to the fact that you cannot know where the hands are coming from if the attacker himself does not know where they are going... think about it. It is unreasonable to think that you should try to predict wild energy from a wild person that does not even know how, from where his hands are swinging.
The solution: Do not chase the hands. Go directly to the slowest part of the person and destroy it asap. That would be the head or center area of the person or the supporting structure...such as the supporting leg. If you try to block a kick with your hands or even legs, you may not be fast enough or even at the correct stable posture. So don't try to block anything.
1. Understand that you will be hit - multiple times. So place yourself in the position relative to the enemy such that his hits will not reach maximum power. Knowing and being comfortable with range is paramount in this task.
2. Once conflict is unavoidable and attack is coming, commit to step #1 , then proceed to attack the slowest weakest point - the head, the supporting leg, the throat, the chin, the eyes etc... meanwhile, keep your own corresponding parts covered when attacking.
Example: train yourself to detect body spins or body emanations that happen before the limbs shoot out. Before a punch or kick, the body has an unavoidable motion that corresponds to the attacking limb. If you know how this works, then you will be ahead of them before they even launch. It does not matter if they try to fake you out with fake jabs etc. Just hit regardless. With purpose and stability. When an attacker does a spinning kick, do not block the kick. Simply move into their center space and attack their center support. It takes a miniscule amount of force to offset a spinning attack if you are addressing the center pivot support. Even the attacker gets wonky without you touching him if he does the spin slightly off.
So basically fear is the issue. It prevents you from doing what needs to be done.
You cannot beat anyone if you constantly avoid them. So save time and effort and penetrate into their space so you can apply your force. Otherwise, you will be constantly at a disadvantage if you avoid their limbs because they are bigger than you and they can hit you will you cannot reach them. FEAR is the mind killer.
This is solid advice but also consider that you have to know and be very aware of when someone is putting you into a position of compromise or not and to react before then. There's some "Black Israelite" videos up here on youtube where they do street preaching and the moment someone even reaches out to touch them or their stuff they react fast and usually with a slap. You can't hesitate or try to talk the person out of things if they're getting too close you must get the first strike in. In the military you don't have a second chance if the fight isn't over in seconds someone else comes along and bayonets or shoots you. All training should be aimed at having the fight over before the aggressor can even really start it by making a move.
@@FringeWizard2 - You are correct. This assumes that you are not surprised. In my daily activities where ever I may be, I try to put myself in relation to other people constantly where I have the optimal escape route or most strategically profitable place.
I don't look for trouble, but I do automatically calculate weak points and balance deficit locations for each person I am walking towards or who may be approaching my body. So basically, I don't know if they will surprise attack, but if they do, my body is at a location where they have to do extra steps to be able to even position themselves for an attack. And by that time, it's too late, because I will definitely recognize that the person is in place for an attack.
It's all theory of course. It is impossible to live in such a mind state every waking moment. You do what you can and keep cultivating strong habits so that it is first nature and not mentally taxing.
I prefer stealth like using a bow
Exactly, I carry a concealed long bow....nobody expects to get shot with an arrow...element of surprise.....
when you're struggling for balance, a groin shot looks very inevitable.
Thanks for sharing! Have an awesome day!
I've seen a smaller Asian martial artist being attacked by a taller dude, every time the tall dude tried to grab him the tall dude always end up on the ground at the end he stopped grabbing him.
It’s a tactic
...like the instructions, finally some contact and near to reality speed. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Eddie for the feedback, it's much appreciated.

this is real life , great work
great educational video sir, thanks for doing this.
5:05 i love that. That is my go to move. I've never seen anyone show this. May not be the best in a crowded street fight though. Be aware of your surroundings.
Hahahaha bra lol
I would just wear the fighting helmet when I go outside! LOL!
Love the video. I've seen here and in others, a lot of talk about initiating strikes in advance, when there is a clear and present danger. I have no issue with the concept, just the application. I wonder if instead of initiating a strike in advance (i.e. to the face, groin, etc), especially for a small and fast individual, instead quickly making your way behind (chest to back) and initiating a choke hold. This would seem to be more effective as a preemptive action from a lot of positions.
This is a move that requires fairly low motor skills, is probably unexpected so your opponent is likely to be caught off guard, fairly easy to accomplish - especially before you are grabbed, and in the end - the choke hold leaves me less vulnerable to follow-up attack. Also, there would be less physical evidence of any altercation for the police to arrest you for later on.
Curious about any thoughts about this approach...
Great point and question Robert. We do like to move in a "Y" angle behind our opponent to establish chest to back. But, usually we like to strike first and then quickly move in a Y angle to go behind the attacker. What you do from there is up to you. You can go for the choke or you can eye gouge the attacker and go for a neck crank it it's a life threatening situation. Hope this helps. Thanks again for your support and for bringing that up. In this video, we talk about it a little bit: czcams.com/video/4HQcfnZJyIA/video.html Stay safe.
Excellente. I block his right hand punch at the shoulder and clinch with and over hook with my left arm. Then I do a takedown into several different submission options. There is also elbow and knee strikes available in the clinch.
Thanks David for the tips. Stay safe.
Love the honesty of you do this you'll probably better knocked out".
Untrained broken rythem attackers can be very dangerous in their attacks. Trained people focus and protect themselves in known patterns generally. "Sh** happens." So true. Great real life non muscle memory stuff.
First opp kick em in the balls
@@anthonylowery5673 I can tell you haven't actually fought at all or you're used to fighting with really weak people. ProTip: You can kick me in the balls and I won't even flinch. It doesn't even hurt and it doesn't really do anything to the person. If you want to actually fuck up a person you kick their kneecaps which breaks their legs.
@@FringeWizard2 yeah there are plenty of spots more sensitive than balls. I've never actually fought anyone either and even I know that. Go for the kidneys or underside of the arms, or the kneecaps, hell, get low and punch em in the ass. Anything to screw up their flow and then just rapid fire everywhere.
I appreciate your look at fighting larger guys. I have the smaller guys covered (in my head). The taller guys takes much more strategic thought
You're welcome. You brought up some good points.
I learn a lot thank you.

3:38 uppercut, knockout it's over
Dude that was COOL 🤟. You should write it down before someone steal it💯.
You are a super teacher!! For helps (I'm versed in the body and movement and exercise), that roundhouse move is very weak. The puncher is relying on speed from the abs 'cause he's tired. Physics shows the shorter the leverage or closer to the body the more power. Unless there is a huge weight on the end and you're using your own arm as a catapult. Ouch. I like as a tiny person, getting right in their face even if I have to get on a stool or climbing up the attacker's body. Adds surprise especially for big guys that expect the opposite from tiny gals.

Yes i know he is a great teacher i only found his channel recently but he is absolutely great his talking the way he breaks it down is absolutely great... And that he is experienced with it in real life makes it much more better CONTINUE WITH THE GOOD VIDEOS....!! :D YOUR GREAT (NICK DROSSOS)

Taba Allday it's ight bro you'll get him a other time
...Bruce Lee was 5' 7" - What would he have done?
He wouldn't have let it get that far.
I imagine a hundred options based on how it began, but an intercepting fist means not going on the defensive by allowing your attacker the aggressor's advantage.
- Once the scuffle is inevitable (and learning to read the situation, and potential for escalation, is 1/2 the fight!) you must take the initiative, especially against a larger attacker and stop the threat until you no longer feel threatened BEFORE it's HIS fight.
Not that this situation in the video could never happen, just try not to allow it to, and end up playing into your attacker's hands.
Im 5' 7" too and i think bruce lee would disagree with his one inch punch.
There are effective ways to prevent a strong taller man from slamming you on your face.
Very effective techniques mate.

Thanks for the feedback, it's appreciated. Stay safe.
Works. Tried it.
Thank you very much. I applied their advice
. I'm in the hospital now
Take some real advice from a spook (my role is mostly psychological operations but I know everything about everything). You have one strike to take down your enemy or you're fucked. Don't even consider any situations where the fight isn't over in seconds. Any video you see where you're blocking or getting locked up is wrong. If someone even reaches towards you, you react then, you don't let them get a hold on you. Even if it's just to step back and give them a slap and tell them to not touch you, like you see in those Black Israelite videos up on youtube where they're preaching about how they're the real jews, and sometimes people get stupid and get too close or try to touch them or their stuff. You have to position yourself properly and you have to be ready to fight without thinking, no delays, and you have to have timing right where you know when you have to act or else you're in a vulnerable/compromised position. Also if there's multiple attackers try to line them up, keep it so only one can engage at a time, you don't want to be attacked by two guys at exact same time. Be extremely aware of these things that you maintain an advantage.
@@FringeWizard2 Thank you very much. I'm 6'2.5
Listen to this gentleman!
Great video Nick! Very eye-opening and practical. I loved it. Can you please elaborate more on the diamond principle? I couldn't find any videos on your other channel that describes this. Plus, I searched it on CZcams and nothing came up.

what about the street fight against 6'4 when you are 3'4?
First off Abdul, there would be surprise. Let them think you are a scared (3'4" dude or gal), cry, whine for mommy and the moment you are within those gonads, let 'em have it. Never forget teeth, never forget your entire body weight. Let's see, I used to be 5'2" and now am 5' 0"...that is just 1'6" higher than (you)? 6'4" guys are SLOW, no little person has ever been within their grasp, they will be SURPRISED (as well as wrestling with the reputation of hurting someone so much and that hesitation will get you right up in their face where they will have the dickens getting you off their body before you can do serious damage. Of course, if there is the chance to run THAT WOULD BE FIRST. If that doesn't work play the mamma bird routine, acting injured, scared out of your mind, retarded, whatever. It'll be the acting audition of your life and your audience having relied on bigness all their life, is so easily fooled. I'd rather take on a humongous dude than someone of my own mindset! Always have your backpack, courier bag with something extremely heavy in it, grins! I took on a guy that was twice my size (as a little girl protecting my little brother) by jumping up into his arms, face reached down grabbed the skin of his back and held on while he threw me backwards onto the sidewalk. Yeah, I got a concussion, but he got 70 something stitches and NEVER bothered my brother or sisters ever again. Wouldn't even walk close. It was all done quickly no thinking. I chose (if able) the big guys in martial arts classes just because I HAD THE advantage. Kid you not.
Funniest thing ive read all day
never underestimate the speed of a 6'4 i am that lenght and i can tell you when i start hitting all they hear is the wind haha.
SWEETNESS!
Wtf u shrunk?
Man these techniques leave you open for some kidney shots
Thank you for a very informative instructional vid,,,appreciate yr time and effort ,,,no one knws what s round the corner and it is usually that lucky punch,,what ever size u are,,,speed is a key,,thanks again take care all the best Mac
I gona try this for my fight tomorrow
Great video! Could you maybe do a vid about how to defend against those pure wild punches without grabs that you talked about in the beginning?

Nice advice and vid but i think speed in attack or defence, is probably the most crucial factor
above size difference. A much smaller person will 9 times out of ten be a faster striker and mover.

Nice video, many thanks sir...
Thank you Nitesh for your feedback. Stay safe.
As a person who’s done over 8 years of martial arts training in tae kwon do and 2 years of boxing, while it’s a great advantage to being able to use your legs in a fight, it’s not effective when your attacker close enough to where you can’t outstretch your legs.
My take of it:
- Use kicks at the start if you can in a fight (a full side or front kick to the gut or Solar plexus can seriously take the strength out of you if you aim correctly) to gain an upper hand, then switch to that all hands fighting.
- If you can break distance, kick at their legs, knees or shins for sweeps. Plus, even if you don’t sweep them, they’ll have a harder time standing on busted knee.
- If you’re trying to injure for suppression, go for joints except the hips or shoulders, and least muscular sections. Upper arms and especially thighs just shrug off a blunt attack like a fist or foot.
- If you can, use your head if you’re in the position for it, a hard head clash to the jaw will seriously hurt them more than you.
- At least for the way I’ve been taught, don’t stay tense the whole time, it’s tiring. Instead, tense only when you strike or when you know you’re gonna be hit.
Thank you for sharing your martial arts input on this topic. You brought up some good points. Stay safe
best defense from a larger guy is..... run... u probably much faster and agile than him XD
Great point Andreas. Running can indeed be a good self-defense option.
It looks like you've trained on Tony Blauer's SPEAR system as you referred to the strong arm position when extended outside 90 degrees. Also it looks like you're wearing his High Gear helmets. Very good instruction.
Do u have any methods for 6’3 opponets
I think I just watched foreplay or the disco dance...
대단하고 놀라워요 It is excellent. respect.in seoul korea
Do you think heel hooks and leg locks are effective against larger opponents?
Great stuff! Thx!
Thanks for your feedback and stay safe.
In a street fight they use kicks/ knees to the groin....
Great point, thanks Jeff for sharing your feedback about this self defense topic. Stay safe
Right, agreed. Also. No attempts to trip, legwork to flip, Judo, Muay Thai or even Shotokan in the clinch, no attempts here to use the legs to trip and throw...I don't understand this here. No incorporation of trips or throws. I appreciate the effort and sincerity here, but this lacks techniques that can be applied, but are not. (?) Fights usually go to the ground. From throws in the clinch. None of this here. Whatever...
On point for a knee to the groin if they're really in close. But a kick even that high would be wasted motion when milliseconds count. It would be more economical go for the knee or below if they're too close for you to go higher and drive them back. It doesn't take much force to break one's knee for a skillful enough kicker if the opportunity is there, but an easier target would be better for an inexperienced fighter. Getting in any strike first is better than getting hit first.
Really , the best strategy is to *stay away* from aggressive idiots in social situations, so if they do decide to target you you they're out of range. If an unexpected scenario arises, I instinctively make distance while maintaining a defensive "back off" posture while *well* out of range, being ready respond to *any* move, keeping in mind where their legs are. In a stand-off that sends the message they're not dealing with a pushover, and is almost always enough. Always has been for me. If they're far enough away a feint hand strike (that's really preparation for a block) and kick to the mid-section at the first sign of motion could drive them back and have the fight broken up or get out of there before anything happens if it's a neutral scene. Again, this requires less skill than readiness.
The element of surprise - whether physical, psychological, or even distraction - is *huge* in any fighting scenario. Any bar fighter would be expecting a flurry of fists, but a kick to the knee could literally break their leg without their being prepared in the least before they even properly start their head-hunting.
The one problem is this couldn't be properly practiced, because a slight slip could seriously injure the sparring partner!
@@MrOhjok It's a 15 minute video focusing on taking the wind out of a specific attack. The idea is to establish control even when not counterattacking, so you can take it from there with confidence. There are plenty of other videos for all the stuff you mentioned, even on this channel I'm sure.
Great video! The grappler in me wants to take the guy down with an ouch gari, aka inside leg trip.
Thanks Mark! Just checkout out your CZcams channel. You got great videos on there. Keep up the good work ;)
I feel you. What about a nice flying armbar?
Great training video
Thanks Ezekiel for the feedback, it's appreciated.
,Great tutorial. A lot of good information. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback, it's much appreciated. Stay safe.
thank you.
I really hope no one is taking this guy seriously just use this as straight entertainment you will get hurt do what his doing
excellent bro :)
I was in a one arm lapel and I moved to my left and used both hands to knock out my assailant with hooks and upper cuts until he was out
Great self defense tactic! Thanks for sharing your experience with us, it's appreciated.
I love hearing this being 6'4'' 215 and basically reverse dissecting it for smaller Scrappy opponents. Great video, like you say shit happens.
I am a krav maga expert I have trained in Israel for 10 years in the army and what you say is true about fights when I traveled to the US I got in a fight I would say 90 percent of a street fight is nothing more than mental and 10 percent skill when facing a attacker always watch the eye movement the way they stand watch feet position and listen to his voice if it gets higher in pitch he might be nervous most importantly watch his hands he might have a weapon move closer to someone so they stop
Stick to your Krav Maga environment, buddy, you're not the guy to be teaching people about the 'in's and out's' of fighting on the street. Everyone, and I mean everyone in the combat community knows Krav Maga is far more of a financial model, than a thoroughly genuine self defense system. I'm not saying there aren't some genuine experts in your system, but they tend to posses higher belts in Brazilian Jiujitsu, be genuine Muay Thai practitioners, etc.
In the mean time, if people want to honestly learn how to defend themselves, go to a reputable MMA club, there's no better tried-and-tested format.
@@straightline76 Krav maga is a self-defense system based on military and civilian experience. They go straight to the point. MMA, BJJ, muay thai is about pleasing the referee like tennis or football. Obviously the fitness and skill you gain from those sports will help in self-defense but most people don't care about those sports and just need some brief instruction to increase their odds of survival. Steroid bodybuilding will also give you an armor of muscle and strength that will allow you to fold most people but becoming a steroid bodybuilder is not practical for most people just like MMA is not. The people saying "no, this is the best" are high testosterone males who don't care about anyone's safety but only their own ego and the average person is the one who ends up suffering as they try to navigate the sea of hyperbole, loud mouthed radio jocks, overconfident third world wrestlers, chi masters and what not. Every marketing guy who toots his own horn always leaves something out. Self-defense instruction is an evolving system and its knowledge base is based on military, police and hospital records as well as anecdotal information. Combat sports like any sport will keep on evolving and the athletes get fitter and more proficient but they are also highly specialized and their objective as athletes is very different from survival. Having athletes, who are essentially entertainers on the highest level, take over and overly influence self-defense science is like taking an actor from a hospital based tv-series and having them tell real doctors how to do their job. It is OK for self-defense science to study sports for extra clues but any modifications and additions to self-defense must be made by the self-defence community. I have taken a judo class where the guy submitted me by forcing my face against his ass/genitals. This goofball move is also BJJ and effective in competition and since I realize that it is not my job to change the rules of judo or BJJ I'm not going to go and tell them how to do their sport and that's why athletes should not go around preaching about self-defense.
You're still trying to convince yourself, which is understandable, you're dedicated to your thing, which is always commendable. But you're trying to 'spin' a topic, which anyone who knows anything about this subject in any realistic depth, understands that you're simply and demonstratably incorrect. Are you based in Israel? Because I'm due to visit there soon, and will happily prove my point to you in person. Of course, learning is a two way street, so it'd be an opportunity to learn a couple of things from you, and the guys and girls you train with.
Nick, I swear Ive seen most of your videos but I am not familiar with the term you used , the diamond principle, chest back, can you eleborate on that or tell me what video deals with that concept.
David Partridge Hi David, thanks for watching the videos...These principles (as well as many other ones) are explained more in dept in our official Code Red Defense videos. We created a complete self-defense system for you to learn (step by step) how to protect yourself effectively. Stay safe
Thank you.
You're welcome and thank you Nigel for your feedback. Take care
Nick, you are the best defense instructor I have seen here on youtube. Good, easy, reality based techniques that actually work...
Check out his defense against a sucker punch. It is exactly as he describes it. All his advices are from a street point of view working as a bouncer so he got credibility. Maybe the most important lesson is that you have to be able to do the first strike to avoid becoming the victim. And it is not easy to just hit another person in the face if you haven't trained for it.
Thanks for your feedback... It's much appreciated. Stay safe
This looks like it was supposed to be a tutorial, but when it awkwardly failed, it was quickly played off as a self-defense class.
Interesting video. I remember seeing this 'lapel' style large man attacker in a popular street fight video that was going around a while back. He was destroying the other guy who didn't know what to do.
mostly i've seen how someone bigger than me can beat me up..
Yep... That's true.
Great training..hands on..
Thanks 👍
Very realistic. Just out of curiosity , what brand is the headgear you use?
Thanks Stan for the feedback... you can get the headgear here: amzn.to/1J19KzT Thanks for watching and stay safe.
i fought people 6 '5" in a jail setting the trick is to take them out in 3 moves or less if you let them strike you first you loose momentum if you block every strike then all that energy counts for nothing if you block it correctly either deflecting or obsorbing that energy.
Thanks Mike for sharing your fighting experience. Stay safe
This was a really useful video. If I ever get caught in a lapel grab at least I'll have a slight chance now :)
Thanks for watching and stay safe!
Guys get in a boxing stance then start throwing wildly.........GOLD So true
Thanks for the video! Can you tell me where you purchased the head gear? I am unable to find protective helmets like that anywhere. Thanks again!
Here is an alternative version of the protective headgear: amzn.to/1J19KzT They don't make that exact one anymore.
Thank you for the response. that's the one I have and it us difficult to take on/off. also the clear guard causes cuts on my nose.
1500 Rounds of Shadow No Rules Self Defense Training without a partner is the best Key for me to Knock Any Bigger, Stronger, Powerful, Faster Attacker's that is Taller then me is the Best Key for Me,
That is the way to go! Keep it up!
@@codereddefense yes sir
Never take advice from a guy about fighting who is wearing ed hardy jeans
I wish there was a laugh emoji with this instead of just thumbs up and down! hilarious
Thanks Nick now I’m going to abolish all the training I’ve learned in my whole life and just start Swinging wildly with my eyes closed it seems much more effective to you
wow its funny how everybody becomes martial art expert all of a sudden...
Silat and Filipino empty hand styles would good against someone that big. Since that is what those styles are created for.
METAL AND PROUD that’s what he was using in the last min
Iron scrotum Kung Fu
Wha..What if my attacker is 6'5" ? What do I do then? :(
I got attacked by a 6'3" guy, this didn't worked. :(
I'm 6'4.5'' and would never hurt anyone in my life. Most guys that shoot up schools are 5'8''.
pray
learn wing chun
Richard Paz run
simple is effective ,,nice demo ,real energy
Great video....
You guys should do standup comedy I was laughing my AO when he started to punch you and he tossed you around.
Glad it was entertaining ;) Stay safe
Great videos Nick. I have done Judo since I was 10 and we work on grip fitting in heavy gis. It's a bitch. I weigh 220 and I have trained with top women competitors half my weight who it is almost impossible to grab they are so good at moving their body and breaking grips almost instantaneously. Do not let a big guy get a grip in the first place. He was throwing you all over the place. If you practice judo grip fighting (Kumi kata) in heavy gis breaking grips becomes instinctual. When I grapple somebody better than me In jiu jitsu I always use my judo grip fighting (that jiu jitsu guys do not practice) and stop them from submitting me. It works and is very tough real training yet quite safe and an excellent strategy for smaller people or women against larger oponents.. Check out Nicholas Gilles in Montreal former Olympian. Do 5 minutes of grip fighting with him and discover a new world (if you dare.)
Yeahhh Master máster 😮😮😮😅
What if the attacker is 6'3 and 3 quarters? What will i do then.
Great video! Do you have a link to purchase those helmets?
Don't think one will ever have a helmet or mouth guards handy when a confrontation blooms right in front of one. Grins.
I train muay thai, if someone would grab you like that go in the thai clinch and from there on you should be able to do it yourself.
Aikido is good because you are using your opponents weight and strength against them.
