    I absolutely love this type of content. Many train for the ranged conflict, far less train for close quarters combat, and almost nobody trains for the verbal precursor. It's much easier to get into a fight than it is to get out of one.

    I’ve learned not to engage in conversation with strangers other than a general greeting. People with questionable intent look for engagement. By keeping it moving you’re forcing them to expose their intentions. Keep an alert posture. Don’t get tunnel vision. There may be more than one person. If it’s a tight situation take another option. If no other option is available simply turn back and deal with the delay. If that is not possible, prepare yourself mentally and emotionally. Think of what weapons you have on or around you and be prepared to deal with the threat the best you can. We aren’t superheroes with superpowers. But you can develop super awareness. Because in the end, you can only do what you can do. My life is busy with very little time for other things. Staying fit is difficult enough. Gun classes or fighting classes just aren’t practical. I’ve studied and maintained some of what I learned but no time to maintain the level of proficiency I once had. A handful of good techniques is better than a bunch of complicated nonsense. Be quick, totally committed to the action with brutality. First opportunity run away. This isn’t a movie. Going home safely is the goal not look like some action hero.

    I grew up in a shit neighborhood with a bunch of junkies everywhere, you don't "verbally spar" you say absolutely nothing and keep walking, don't even make eye contact. The second you engage you're asking for it.

    Love this! Nice reminder that a well-prepared warrior poet is ready for the verbal judo in the streets, going hands-on when necessary, as well as being comfortable with weapon systems. This reminds me that I probably need to bone up on my martial arts skills.

  • @yeahright73
    @yeahright73 Před 8 měsíci +30

    Awesome! I would love to see more of this type of stuff. We go to the range and shoot at a piece of paper downrange, and we go to the MMA class and learn how to fight in a ring, but most of us don't really know how to tie it all together and work through all stages of a conflict from the verbal introduction and posturing to the initial physical contact right through to the deadly force encounter. This sort of bridging the gap is crucial if one wants to survive a violent encounter.

    That verbal thing is a good idea. Yelling at someone so they get used to that without getting stressed too much.

    I recently experienced an attempted car jacking. Fighting someone inside a car or truck is painful ,and difficult. Learning to fight and in a passenger compartment while holding the break and trying to pull a weapon is something I need to learn.

    As a long term practitioner of the arts of martial 😂 there is a giant difference between the art, and life preservation. Fancy don’t work, and what works ain’t fancy.

    @danaleerussell687 Před 6 měsíci

    I almost always carry my metal ink pen in my hand when walking in parking lots or shopping centers and several times in the past I've had to use my loud auctioneer voice to say, "Back off! I've got nothing for you!" to sketchy characters that approached me and tried to verbally engage me. May have freaked a few people out, but has worked so far as a muscular 5'11" 200# guy. But at 67 I may be approaching the end of that tactic's effectiveness. Learning other tactics that don't require me to use my firearm like in this video are greatly appreciated.
