@@inside_fighting What exactly looks cool about this? It’s another “our system is based on reality” Krav Maga* offshoot from people without any real experience and a background story of a first time DnD player. This guy thought he made something to sell the Emergency Response Teams based on his observations of said Krav Maga and Musado seminars. Nobody bought so he started catering towards scared moms and mall guards. Now, what actually makes it a scam: For a system, that claims they ‘don’t do bullshit’, does either plenty of bullshit that puts everyone at risk or does bullshit comparisons to make their point. For the bs they teach, don’t know how to better explain, but let’s just say it’s very much what you would expect from an system with Krav Maga splattered all over it without a certified instructor. For the BS they give examples of and compare to over the internet: Sorudo since its ‘creation’ was dead until recently. Founder claims that he has 20+ yrs of experience with Sorudo, but until few years ago, there has been no word on the shtreets. It came to be a recent thing with very strong words from this guy showing how bigger his balls are compared to self-defense tiktok and reels. Eg. Knife attack vid. Sure it raises a valid point that the attacker probably has legs and can run too. But that was not his point. His point there was to laugh at people who advise victims of knife attacks to distract and run - for which he showed open-field/ city street examples and to prove his point, does the scenario in a closed office where he catches up with the victim only because the victim had to stop at a wall instead of running through the doors. As for the rest of ‘his work’, it’s about as cool as any other ‘self-defense system’ that is being presented as the next big thing to police academies all around the central and eastern Europe. *Krav Maga mentioned in relation as Krav Maga itself suffers from heavy McDojo flooding of pseudo instructors. It is meant only in these terms and in no way was put as an example to bash the system. Unfortunately, that is currently the closest problematic system I could tie it to these days.
I was always a "you should always run" person. When I became a dad, and started taking my baby/toddler around, I realised that this was no longer an option. I started focusing on being able to put a person down hard in a way that meant they would not be able to get up before my child and I were very very far away.
Yep... this right here. It's one thing if you're by yourself, just give up the money or run... it's another thing when you absolutely can't run. I'm a father of four myself, with a one year old daughter. I train any and all ways myself brutha. Keep being that bad ass dad/protector!
I'm 58 , I'm in great shape but my hips aren't . On my best day I can hit a light steady jog so running away isn't really an option unless the bad guy is willing to give me like a 45 minute head start .
Well most people don't think you're entitled to live if you can't outrun a criminal intent on doing you harm or beating a pro mma fighter, and our overlords don't want you armed so... but of course we know there are options out there. Keep training m'dude.
Of you are willing to try I tip. Look at five basic stances of Shaolin kung fun and start doing it every day in the level you can do it. And also isometric exercises
I'm 63, and still train, but yeah I couldn't run away, and if I do have to fight, I'd have to end it quickly as I don't have the stamina for much. I can still hit pretty hard, but I plan to start training with a cane.
Excellent commentary: "Self defense is not intended for combat sports athletes who are training forty hours a week; it's intended for the average person who has six hours a week, maybe less ... "
@@kacklerot Not if they intend to actually hurt you. Not everyone is satisfied simply getting what they want; some people are ONLY satisfied if they inflict enough fear or harm, and they usually will use violence to do either. It's a gamble in those situations. Some people are satisfied with the stereotypical goonish gut shot and then leaving. Others won't be satisfied until you effectively need to be hospitalized. You can choose to let them do what they want, or you can try to protect yourself, and I don't say that as one or the other being self-evident. It's a legit choice. you just can't regret the choice afterward or you made the wrong one.
@@zacharyharwell351 Let's take a scenario where person A has absolute charisma. He can be so likeable. He knows how to get you to like him because person A can read you so well. He knows how to influence you with the right words. Does your situation still pan out if person B intends on hurting him before interacting with him? Even if person B still wants to hurt him after engaging do you think person A would read the social cues that this is person B's intentions and navigate out of the situation? We're not talking about someone who's pretty good at socializing but can mess up sometimes. Because I said charisma. Charisma is the ability to read people and know how to coerce people to like the person with high charisma. A extremely charming person. This isn't a gamble here. This is a guy who always gets people to like him. Because we are not arguing a average person here. We are arguing about charisma and it's affects in which it's affects would be this guy person A is so charming he can convince oil tycoons to give him free oil to sell back to them for double the price. Do you want to switch the argument to a real life gamble with a real person who is just good at socializing? If so then still charisma is a good skill to have. I agree it's not a be all end all. But I never said that charisma is the ultimate self defense. I'm stating the charisma is a overlooked tool among many tools.🤔
Open hands...to catch ...to dot the eyes. You can easily change levels and go for takedowns... you look like a victim. Exactly! A good topic /discussion is Self defense for the Disabled and older folks with brittle bones and busted up joints. Good showing of a system i'll check out further! Please Do a Tier List for Self defense to light up the Algorithm! This channel deserves more views!
*Variables* is right on. When people join a martial arts school for self defense, they assume that fighting situations are like what you see on TV or movies, where it's fairly clear cut what to do. But in my experience, most street situations where you may need to fight are usually extremely weird and it's not at all clear what to do. This is why now believe that self defense training should involve a great deal of planning on various situations and how to react to them.
I love this. The main message that self defense doesn’t equal ring fight, but fighting in the ring or training in tough martial arts helps in self defense when you pressure test the techniques
Absolutely agree. I survived being attacked by 2 people. One with a "pew pew" & the other with a knife but i've basically trained martial arts my whole life & i still got stabbed 3 times, lost a chunk of my scalp from a bullet grazing my head, etc. My advice would be to exercise situ awareness & walk the str8 & narrow so you dont end up in those kinds of situs to begin with. Plus train, train, train under pressure.
People all too often look at MMA as the "pressure test" of anything with the words "self defense" attached. Well, if you wanna pressure test something you do so just like this. These are realistic scenarios more likely to happen. You don't get in the cage and dance around poking each other with jabs and teeps like thats actually gonna happen in a random physical altercation. People dont feel each other out, gauging reactions dancing around each other setting up their shots in a street fight. Too many "Wing Chun guy gets destroyed by MMA guy" videos have ruined people's perception of physical altercations. Videos like this are what is needed.
Here is the thing. I was a medic on an ambulance in a very dangerous city, and then a nurse in a state prison. People always say "Situational awareness". Yup, bery good to have. "Run away". As you are showing, not always an option....at least not without giving yourself the opening. But. What about when you are caught off guard? You know how many "bad ass street fighters" i sent out to the hospital, stitched or glued up, or otherwise had to treat? They get caught by surprise. Off guard. When they are vulnerable. For the "just run" crowd. Ok, maybe you were never in my situations where i HAD to be there because it was my job to render aid, but what about if youbare with your kid? Your wife? You just going to run off and leave your loved ones to get hurt or killed? Yes, be aware of your suroundings. Absolutely get to safety at first opportunity. But also maje sure you have training or the means to defend yourself to either getbto safety, or when thise things fail....which they will.
Agreed! If you’re at somewhat of a distance from a guy with a knife and you’re alone, then I would say yes at least try to run especially where people are and make a scene or a lot of noise. But if you’re in a situation where you can’t run then yes you need to, confront the person and be able to have some skill because in my opinion one of the scariest attacks is with a knife. It’s extremely dangerous!
@@inside_fighting Nice! I will check your video out. I live in Canada, we have almost no self-defense rights when weapons are involved. Having something who's first, second or third purpose aren't for self-defense, make the walking stick the perfect insurance.
I'm rarely alone. I'm married with three kids. I'm not even alone to and from work, as my 17 year old works with me. Running isn't ever really an option for someone like me.
@@inside_fighting I'm not trying to sound like a bad ass, but I grew up in a pretty rough spot, so I grew up fighting. Thankfully, the woman I married saw past what I put out there and made me the man and father I am today - showed me that we could just leave and start over in another state and be successful, without all the baggage of my past. With that caveat, I feel like you're already at an advantage in a street fight, or self defense situation if you're able to keep a clear mind, remain alert, and learn to suppress that throbbing feeling and sound that clouds your senses when violence starts. Most people you fight on the street fight in one of three ways, in my experience: 1) Gorilla - The hold their fists high, elbows at like eye level, in a wide bladed stance. They'll often reach down and fumble with their pants, usually for no reason, though sometimes it's because they don't wear a belt. They'll try to stay on the outside and snipe you with downward strikes with their fists. 2) Bicycle puncher - Dudes that square up in an almost wing chun kind of way, except they are leaned really far back with their chin up and just throw fast jabs over and over. 3) Juggernaut - They have a more square stance and just throw wide haymakers, taking steps towarda you with each punch, with their chins tucked deep, exposing the crown of their head to you the whole time. Anyways, your style seems pretty adept at countering all of these. I was wondering if you incorperate kicks at all? One of the first things my uncle taught my cousins and I as kids was something he called a "cross van", which was basically a knee kick. He taught us two variations, one was an actually kick that went across from your lead leg to the inside of your enemy's lead leg, aiming for their knee or just above it. The second way was more of a straight forward stomp aiming for their lead knee if they were standing with it exposed. He mantra was "If they can't walk, they can't fight." Similarly, he taught us "tiger palm", which was a leverage based strike aimed at the clavicle with the meaty part of your palm in a sort of half closed fist. It wasn't something you could really do against someone much taller than you, but I've seen it used effectively more than once, and it's disgusting. Best way was to distract the person by palming their face with your left hand, trying to get your fingertipa in their eyes to make them recoil hard. When they turn their head, your try to drop as much weight and force down on that bone as possible. Anyhow. Keep up the good work, I enjoy the content! Edit: Holy crap. Sorry for the long ass rambling reply. . .
Many years ago we worked with students who were visually impaired and others who were in wheel chairs. Pretty much everything we had done in martial arts had to be tossed and rebuilt from the ground up. We learned more than the students did.
Running depends on 1) being able to run soon enough 2) and fast enough 3) and have somewhere safe to run to 4) if the attacker(s) don't have a reason to want to get you personally 5) if it's a "one and done" situation 6) you are in a situation where there are clear escape routes Domestic violence situation? Where you gonna run? Criminal chooses a victim who is smaller, slower, or has limited mobility? Oops. Debbie Leung did the best breakdown of self defense into Prevention, Avoidance (which includes running), Deterrence, and Resistance and later included De-Escalation. All of those are appropriate for different situations and different phases of an attack.
The last part, I've been saying it for a long time, the paradigm shouldn't be self-defense system vs combat sports system, but self-defense system on top of combat sports foundation. If you train MMA you get your basic fighting skills and physical attributes (even moreso if you additionally lift weights, which is also an add-on, and not necessarily part of the regular training) to be able to deal with the general pressure of fighting and to deliver enough damage with your attacks to incapacitate the attacker. With a self-defense system on top, you specialize those skills and attributes to work in non-rule based situations. If you only train MMA/combat sports, you lack the experience with unpredictable situations and could be overwhelmed if you find yourself in such a non-trained situation. If you only focus on scenario training and self-defense defense techniques, you probably haven't put in the time to really train your physical attributes.
*Overhand Right* the #1 attack. If there's one thing to remember in self defense that I learned here, it's to protect your head first last and always. One time I was across the street from a bar and saw some guy yelling "get out here!" and banging on the windows. Classic biker tough guy with the boots, pony tail, beard, and he was tall and pretty strong looking. An experienced street fighter you'd think. I thought "Whoever he's in a beef with is afraid to come out, can't say I blame him." Suddenly the door to the bar bursts open and out comes some dude who was considerably older and shorter with a huge beer belly. He charges up to biker guy. O boy here comes the fight. Biker guy, so hot a second ago, goes completely deer in the headlights like Wile E. Coyote, standing straight up with his arms by his side. Beer belly guy goes overhand right, bam, down goes biker guy, fight over. I can't imagine a street fight scenario where it was more clear cut on what to expect, and yet the supposed tough guy completely froze.
@@inside_fighting That was pretty much it. Fat guy runs up to biker guy, who had plenty of time to react, and throws one punch. Biker guy goes down, fat guy kicked him once, then turned around and hustled back into the bar. Biker guy stayed down on the pavement going "uhhrrhggg."
Exactly. You never know what you will be facing on the street. I always opted for going hard in self defense. But not many martial arts instructors seems to understand that in situation where your life is in danger, or your love ones, there's no predictable behavior from the attacker. So I totally agreed with creating lot of scenarios and for going hard to oponent. In total it is your life your protecting. Greetings
Your insight and analysis is very good.. You are very well trained and put educated thought into your views. Im interested in learning some self defense from your videos. I think your point of self defense training vs mma training is a good one. Most people cant commit their life to mma and learning every bad ass technique. Full time job, wife, kids, other hobbies, etc.. This system looks to be a very intelligent way to train for self defense, Im interested. Avoid dangerous places if you can. Street fights are scary! No rules and you never know what will happen? I started out getting robbed and jumped in the city as a kid, terrible public schools, worked in a tuff area later on, took public transportation, and walked through bad areas to get home. Sure wudda been nice to have a car back then! Ive been in quite a few street fights, won some, lost some, been rat packed, black eyes, broken fingers, got a tooth knocked out, concussion, even got stabbed once.. Never saw the blade and thought I was punched, lucky it was a small blade in a non critical place. Running is a good tool, when appropriate, just like anything else its just an option. Ive avoided many fights by running, before the distance was closed. Like you pointed out though, Ive seen people try to run and then been chased down and beaten. I even like talking my way out of a fight. Up close Footwork and keeping distance for me has always worked best when I can. Im no tuff guy. I wrestled in school and then I got into boxing for fun, and it helped with self defense. I always used a high guard with elbows out in the street to avoid the head shots.. They always throw head shots.. If you get attacked, If you can protect your head and let them throw a bunch of crazy punches, dont get knocked out, they will get tired and then its your turn. Also dont be afraid to strike first if you know there's gonna be a fight. Angles and footwork helps a lot. I liked to throw head shots too, In close I like hooks and uppercuts, they surprise people, and knock them out too. Solid body shots hurt people also. I liked low kicks straight into the shin, low push kicks (keeps people away), and foot stomps too. Those expandable batons are a good range tool, and they hurt, but against a motivated opponent they are lacking in power. They cut and make things bloody. I think a shorter billy cub would be better, doesn't give you range, but you can generate force and break stuff. All in all, self defense starts with decision making, where are you, can you avoid it? Fitness is a weapon too, stay in shape. I had a very tuff guy take me down and try to beat me and I was scared, I held onto him so he could not hurt me, he got tired, I was able to get up and run. Training strikes and defense against strikes for self defense if important. Sport fighting sure can develop brutal sills, but when you compete you are fighting with rules. Remove the rules and things can change, especially mentally, (there is no ref and there may be multiple attackers) your trained punches, kicks and chokes are still great and can still win the fight a lot of the time, but its not a sport, its for real, and things are different. What is your opponents mindset? There are some tuff ass crazy people out there! Street fights are scary, !
I like Sorudo's approach as well! I think the unpredictable variables in combatives is very needed. Other great companies like Shivworks does some of the same stuff and we add it in as well. Also, big fan of the A-Frame "Rhino" technique you showed as well.
@@crisalcantara7671 I don't compete at the moment. I recently was training and busted my knee. I don't have a black belt in kyokushin... just in brazilian jiujitsu (second degree) and I'm a master in Doce Pares (which is the equvilant of a 3rd to 5th degree before "grandmaster"). I just train kyokushin for years.
I love it! it really is the best self defense class I've seen on your channel. The club is a really great choice for self defense. There are a lot of tools that fit this role better than batons too. Wrenches, lighter hammers, pry bars, tire irons.
The back swing is just as important at the forehand. At a minimum, without a proficient backhand you have to complete three movements to get two strikes, whereas with a proficient backhand you keep a 1:1 ratio. Every move is an attack.
People forget that not everyone can run. I have a real bad knee, so for me running is impossible. I train to fight in one spot. I also train to end the fight immediately. Good stuff mate.
Glad you liked it. Just popped my knee last week. I’ve been limping around like a hobbit. I’ve been practicing movements with zero footwork just being based in one spot. It’s interesting
Carrying a baton is not always an option to carry. However, a good thick quality belt is always on your person. Used correctly can be a great defensive tool against knives and sticks. For the elderly, the cane can be deadly in the hands of someone who knows how to use it.
transparently. I am able to consume your content more regularly when you present an element of humility. Humanity is cool, and its always nice to hype up other artists. Even martial artists.
Your commentary and analysis differenciating between combat sports and self defense made me subscribe. It's what I've been trying to get across to people for years. Very well done!
EXCELLENT WORDS on the “turn and run” idea. If you don’t know how to protect yourself, then sure, run. F you do . . . teach the assailant a good strong lesson.
Enjoyed your insights as usual... Self protection is indeed a different animal. Little things like fighting habits. In any sports system one usually either (if grappling) tries to establish position first, or, tries to use a set up movement for a strike... for example a feint with a backfist to kick to the leg... You cannot use this strategy on the streets, instead you need to immediately do something to cause injury, take control, create some distance. Hence the concept of atemi waza and how it translates: In the ring if I come directly with technique against similar skilled opponent I get countered... on the street, My concern is creating a path to control for my safety, and my opponent will usually have some percieved advantage. But skill to counter a technique is not one of these advantages. Your statement about a backhand strike. I agree. You have to position the stick so you can generate force from it coming down on the target, this is a hand movement and perhaps one of the few fine motor actions worth training in as second nature. Simply back handing is not a force generator. The baton is a great weapon, I consider it basically a stick with advantages. My own approach is to concentrate on gross movement skills until good movement habits are second nature. Then people need to feel how your body behaves in survival mode, realize the importance of certain habits... and only then can technique develop effectively.
GREAT observation RE running away. I'm pushing up against 62. My running days are long past. When I have trained knife defense, I have assumed I will get cut. The imperative is to minimize the bad cuts and impose a disabling injury on my attacker.
Yeah. Can't really run anymore, and I'm not big, so I have to carry weapons. But, I try my best to completely avoid getting into a bad situation. Of course, sometimes it just can't be avoided.
I grew up in a decent area, and still live in an ok area. I have (knocks on wood) never been suprised held up for money or anything. I can say as on older person (45 this yr) that every altercation I've been in cpuld have most likely been difused if I swallowed my pride and just kept my big ass mouth shut. This has resulted in waking up in a hospital twice, being charged and convicted once when the court determined mynactions went beyond defending ones self (kicked a guy in the head after he was already basically out, was still angry) and a slew of other incidents. I was never one to start anything. If someone wanted to hurt me physically I would take it as offensive and it would really piss me off. All this got me was hurt bad by multiple people when i thought i was fighting one, my ass kicked baddly by just one, amd things in my record that come up in background checks that will be there forever. Part of self defense is checking the ego and pride. Looking back i really thing almost all of shit I've been through could have been avoided entirely.
Another opinion (and it is just an opinion, no right or wrong) is that a holding a closed position if you have the longer weapon allows you to cover more of your torso for protection against cuts should something get through. obviously, a longer weapon, time and distance should allow back hand strikes against the attackers lead arm if they close, but like everything, it's a trade off.
Please put links and credits in the description or at the very least the name of the art so we can know what to look up. Its difficult when you just vaguely mention it before going on to commentary.
I like your common-sense approach easy to understand. In my area hard to find a decent fast self-defense system without a belt system. I need one on one not sure a video course can help a noob.
I always advocate for Mixed Martial Arts for self defense, because it's the most realistic. Mixed martial artists know that if you short stroke your punches like in the video, you will get hurt in the cage. In the street you will get hurt or killed if you think those short stroked punches or even those baton strikes will fend off serious attackers. If they practiced good technique in that area, I'd say it looks like a good system. That is a big factor in a fight though, especially on the street considering that most street fighters are going to be swinging for the fences, so you better be throwing strikes that are meant to put your opponent down as quick as possible, IMO. Even though MMA alone doesn't teach you all the different street variables, if you train in MMA you will know what to do when put in pretty much any position, and you can use your MMA knowledge and technique to practice whatever scenarios you can think of. ✌💚..
I teach adaptive self defense as well, this is a great approach. However, something that I stress personally, is that weapons are not always an option due to sudden factors that happen. As such, knowing how to use high covers, navigating the clinch in order to work your way to accessing ones edc tool is a crucial aspect.
The arguement about running away, seems to be from mostly sport martial artists. Of course if you can run, you would. There's a number of reasons why you can't run away. You could get attacked at home, at work, or you could be with out with your child/elderly family member. This martial art looks to be very well developed. Like you said, its best to train for multiple situations as possible. This is what I liked about Krav Maga, that it trained for multiple situations, compared to the training I was doing at the time. Although, I had to wait around 5 years from that point, for someone to bring it to my local area. Training people who are in wheelchairs are a great idea. Richard Dimitri has said multiple times, that if his 70+ year old mum, who's in a wheelchair can't do it, its not self defense. If you've not heard of him, you definitely need to check him out 😃
Thank you for this video - we just started with launching some content - but more than 90 videos already filmed and ready to go! So stay tuned :) Maybe let's do some training and video together? :)
I’d love to! I’m in the US at the moment though. I travel to Europe a lot though. I’ll be back in Portugal for ten days in June but then just leave again. Do you ever come to America?
Exactly. Running is one solution, for very specific situations. Doesn't work if - you're slower, wearing high heels, in an elevator, surrounded by the perps friends, etc....
It's all about how you evaluate the attacker ................is the attacker a psycho or a poser or a fighter................ or...or....or............................................... You have to evaluate your opponent quick and right to choose the right response.
This video is perfect for me at the moment. Twenty plus years in martial arts training and recently got into collecting knives though ive always carried one. Thanks 🗡️ 👍.
@@jusme8060 I prefer Cold Steel knives, I like the martial arts roots of the company. My edc this week has been a Mini Tac Bowie, Double Agent 1 serrated edge, Kobun serrated edge, and a Voyager Vaquero serrated edge 👍🔪🗡️.
Just based on what has been said in the first three minutes, all I can ask is what makes Sorudo any different from Systema, Krav Maga, or any other fighting/self-defense system that's supposedly focused on "real life" situations?
As far as the "just run" stuff, I think that if you're within 10ft of the person, that's dumb as hell. 10ft is not hard to cross, especially if they're willing to lunge or jump, meaning that in the time it takes you to turn and take the first step, they may be able to take a step and jump, potentially driving a knife or some other weapon directly into your freshly exposed back. Obviously this is modified by number of attackers, distance, state of the fight/encounter, and other things, but "just run" in many ways seems like a great way to find yourself on the receiving end of a very aggressive acupuncture session.
FYI: Apache Knife Fighting has no founder. There are many Apache tribes, bands, and clans and each had to fight in various terrains with a variety of tactics and weapons. Apache Knife Fighting & Battle Tactics have been around for hundreds of years. Apache Knife Fighting & Battle Tactics is a journey course on Apache battle tactic history. It is not a martial arts. No one owns the name or owns the trademark or copyright on “Apache Knife.” You cannot be a member of multiple tribes and yes, battle tactics are seen in many martial arts too. I appreciate all martial arts and I enjoy teaching the Apache history.
Very informative and definitely the best approach. BTW, don't apologize about the speech mistakes; I'm getting my 3rd Vodka and tonic and I'm having trouble too lol.
I can’t make a proper fist I know how to but my index fingers just stick out a lot I think it may be a bone issue so when you talk about open hand it’s very true and useful for people like me. I’ve try to practice open hand stuff as much as I can cause I don’t wanna break my hand specially as I work as an artist so it’s my livelihood
I haven't run yet, and had plenty of issues where I'm at. I carry a karambit at all times. It has a bar to attach it to your pocket, and a ring to slide your finger in. It can be ready to go in a millisecond because it opens when you pull the ring. Sorry, but I think that's the best weapon. I used to train in JKD, and fell in love with that weapon, and will never consider another. I live in a stand your ground state, so that's what I'll do, rather than get stabbed fleeing.
Mass Attacks during my Kenpo Brown belt test (can’t remember which tier) was all about getting jumped by random attacks from multiple opponents. I remember it was fun and pretty eye opening that sometimes brawling is all you are able to do.
RE Migraine - so glad its not just me that looses speech when I get it. Feels like I'm drunk - but HEAVY intoxicated - where I never get. so that's why I guess...
Well I would just moon walk, never let them know your next move, while they are distracted, confused, and amazed with my awesome moon walking skills I could then just run away
I think forehand strikes when nervous and afraid might lead to flailing/over commitmet and being off balance. You see it in videos of people throwing haymakers in a fight, they fall forward. Now imagine adding a weight to their hand. CZcams bar fights. A lot of arnis systems teach the backhand first against every angle of attack.

*Krav Maga mentioned in relation as Krav Maga itself suffers from heavy McDojo flooding of pseudo instructors. It is meant only in these terms and in no way was put as an example to bash the system. Unfortunately, that is currently the closest problematic system I could tie it to these days.
I was always a "you should always run" person. When I became a dad, and started taking my baby/toddler around, I realised that this was no longer an option. I started focusing on being able to put a person down hard in a way that meant they would not be able to get up before my child and I were very very far away.
Yep... this right here. It's one thing if you're by yourself, just give up the money or run... it's another thing when you absolutely can't run. I'm a father of four myself, with a one year old daughter. I train any and all ways myself brutha. Keep being that bad ass dad/protector!
I'm 58 , I'm in great shape but my hips aren't . On my best day I can hit a light steady jog so running away isn't really an option unless the bad guy is willing to give me like a 45 minute head start .
Well most people don't think you're entitled to live if you can't outrun a criminal intent on doing you harm or beating a pro mma fighter, and our overlords don't want you armed so...
but of course we know there are options out there. Keep training m'dude.
@@sasoriko I’m armed 🤷🏽♂️
Of you are willing to try I tip.

And also isometric exercises
I'm 63, and still train, but yeah I couldn't run away, and if I do have to fight, I'd have to end it quickly as I don't have the stamina for much. I can still hit pretty hard, but I plan to start training with a cane.
Yup. 53 with an arthritic knee. Train PTK and I'm in the gym regularly, but I'm not outrunning any young and aggressive male out looking for trouble.
Excellent commentary: "Self defense is not intended for combat sports athletes who are training forty hours a week; it's intended for the average person who has six hours a week, maybe less ... "
Great comment!
Charisma is great for self defense. It's deescalating. An overlooked skill.
Tell that to a 300 lbs meth head foaming at mouth while vigorously playing with himself.
charisma won't save you agains criminals .
@@crisalcantara7671 So gaining a criminals trust by reading what he wants and giving him what he wants wouldn't save me?
@@kacklerot Not if they intend to actually hurt you. Not everyone is satisfied simply getting what they want; some people are ONLY satisfied if they inflict enough fear or harm, and they usually will use violence to do either.
It's a gamble in those situations. Some people are satisfied with the stereotypical goonish gut shot and then leaving. Others won't be satisfied until you effectively need to be hospitalized. You can choose to let them do what they want, or you can try to protect yourself, and I don't say that as one or the other being self-evident. It's a legit choice. you just can't regret the choice afterward or you made the wrong one.
@@zacharyharwell351 Let's take a scenario where person A has absolute charisma. He can be so likeable. He knows how to get you to like him because person A can read you so well. He knows how to influence you with the right words. Does your situation still pan out if person B intends on hurting him before interacting with him? Even if person B still wants to hurt him after engaging do you think person A would read the social cues that this is person B's intentions and navigate out of the situation?
We're not talking about someone who's pretty good at socializing but can mess up sometimes. Because I said charisma. Charisma is the ability to read people and know how to coerce people to like the person with high charisma. A extremely charming person. This isn't a gamble here. This is a guy who always gets people to like him. Because we are not arguing a average person here. We are arguing about charisma and it's affects in which it's affects would be this guy person A is so charming he can convince oil tycoons to give him free oil to sell back to them for double the price. Do you want to switch the argument to a real life gamble with a real person who is just good at socializing? If so then still charisma is a good skill to have. I agree it's not a be all end all. But I never said that charisma is the ultimate self defense. I'm stating the charisma is a overlooked tool among many tools.🤔
Open hands...to catch ...to dot the eyes. You can easily change levels and go for takedowns... you look like a victim. Exactly! A good topic /discussion is Self defense for the Disabled and older folks with brittle bones and busted up joints. Good showing of a system i'll check out further! Please Do a Tier List for Self defense to light up the Algorithm! This channel deserves more views!
*Variables* is right on. When people join a martial arts school for self defense, they assume that fighting situations are like what you see on TV or movies, where it's fairly clear cut what to do. But in my experience, most street situations where you may need to fight are usually extremely weird and it's not at all clear what to do. This is why now believe that self defense training should involve a great deal of planning on various situations and how to react to them.
100% agree. Even if you are a good fighter it can be very jarring
Not enough martial arts schools do the required conditioning to use much of what they teach.
they should wtch jhon wick and see how fast people drop when getting attacked , it may be fiction but it's as real as it comes .
I love this. The main message that self defense doesn’t equal ring fight, but fighting in the ring or training in tough martial arts helps in self defense when you pressure test the techniques
Absolutely agree. I survived being attacked by 2 people. One with a "pew pew" & the other with a knife but i've basically trained martial arts my whole life & i still got stabbed 3 times, lost a chunk of my scalp from a bullet grazing my head, etc. My advice would be to exercise situ awareness & walk the str8 & narrow so you dont end up in those kinds of situs to begin with. Plus train, train, train under pressure.
People all too often look at MMA as the "pressure test" of anything with the words "self defense" attached. Well, if you wanna pressure test something you do so just like this. These are realistic scenarios more likely to happen. You don't get in the cage and dance around poking each other with jabs and teeps like thats actually gonna happen in a random physical altercation. People dont feel each other out, gauging reactions dancing around each other setting up their shots in a street fight.
Too many "Wing Chun guy gets destroyed by MMA guy" videos have ruined people's perception of physical altercations. Videos like this are what is needed.
Good stuff! Totally agree. One comment for those that say "run". Not everyone can.
very true
@PaMuShin One never knows. I physically can't run. My knees are shot.
I used to be great at long distance running but I'm 61 and permanently damaged from injury so running is not an option
I can no longer run so I carry a few weapons.
Here is the thing. I was a medic on an ambulance in a very dangerous city, and then a nurse in a state prison. People always say "Situational awareness". Yup, bery good to have. "Run away". As you are showing, not always an option....at least not without giving yourself the opening.
But.
What about when you are caught off guard? You know how many "bad ass street fighters" i sent out to the hospital, stitched or glued up, or otherwise had to treat? They get caught by surprise. Off guard. When they are vulnerable.
For the "just run" crowd. Ok, maybe you were never in my situations where i HAD to be there because it was my job to render aid, but what about if youbare with your kid? Your wife? You just going to run off and leave your loved ones to get hurt or killed?
Yes, be aware of your suroundings. Absolutely get to safety at first opportunity. But also maje sure you have training or the means to defend yourself to either getbto safety, or when thise things fail....which they will.
Or if a person has a back problem or knee or whatever and it will hinder a person from running to get away.
Agreed! If you’re at somewhat of a distance from a guy with a knife and you’re alone, then I would say yes at least try to run especially where people are and make a scene or a lot of noise. But if you’re in a situation where you can’t run then yes you need to, confront the person and be able to have some skill because in my opinion one of the scariest attacks is with a knife. It’s extremely dangerous!
you eplained it very well , thank you 😊
I am making a walking stick. It's legal everywhere and very effective.
I use a walking stick. I made a video on them. They are the best. You can even take them on planes.
@@inside_fighting Nice! I will check your video out. I live in Canada, we have almost no self-defense rights when weapons are involved. Having something who's first, second or third purpose aren't for self-defense, make the walking stick the perfect insurance.
I'm rarely alone. I'm married with three kids. I'm not even alone to and from work, as my 17 year old works with me. Running isn't ever really an option for someone like me.
your situation is a perfect example.
@@inside_fighting I'm not trying to sound like a bad ass, but I grew up in a pretty rough spot, so I grew up fighting. Thankfully, the woman I married saw past what I put out there and made me the man and father I am today - showed me that we could just leave and start over in another state and be successful, without all the baggage of my past.
With that caveat, I feel like you're already at an advantage in a street fight, or self defense situation if you're able to keep a clear mind, remain alert, and learn to suppress that throbbing feeling and sound that clouds your senses when violence starts.
Most people you fight on the street fight in one of three ways, in my experience:
1) Gorilla - The hold their fists high, elbows at like eye level, in a wide bladed stance. They'll often reach down and fumble with their pants, usually for no reason, though sometimes it's because they don't wear a belt. They'll try to stay on the outside and snipe you with downward strikes with their fists.
2) Bicycle puncher - Dudes that square up in an almost wing chun kind of way, except they are leaned really far back with their chin up and just throw fast jabs over and over.
3) Juggernaut - They have a more square stance and just throw wide haymakers, taking steps towarda you with each punch, with their chins tucked deep, exposing the crown of their head to you the whole time.
Anyways, your style seems pretty adept at countering all of these. I was wondering if you incorperate kicks at all? One of the first things my uncle taught my cousins and I as kids was something he called a "cross van", which was basically a knee kick. He taught us two variations, one was an actually kick that went across from your lead leg to the inside of your enemy's lead leg, aiming for their knee or just above it. The second way was more of a straight forward stomp aiming for their lead knee if they were standing with it exposed. He mantra was "If they can't walk, they can't fight."
Similarly, he taught us "tiger palm", which was a leverage based strike aimed at the clavicle with the meaty part of your palm in a sort of half closed fist. It wasn't something you could really do against someone much taller than you, but I've seen it used effectively more than once, and it's disgusting. Best way was to distract the person by palming their face with your left hand, trying to get your fingertipa in their eyes to make them recoil hard. When they turn their head, your try to drop as much weight and force down on that bone as possible.
Anyhow. Keep up the good work, I enjoy the content!
Edit: Holy crap. Sorry for the long ass rambling reply. . .
This right here! I'm a father of four myself and I work in a team myself. 100 percent brutha. Keep training and being that bad ass protector always.
Many years ago we worked with students who were visually impaired and others who were in wheel chairs. Pretty much everything we had done in martial arts had to be tossed and rebuilt from the ground up. We learned more than the students did.
Running depends on
1) being able to run soon enough
2) and fast enough
3) and have somewhere safe to run to
4) if the attacker(s) don't have a reason to want to get you personally
5) if it's a "one and done" situation
6) you are in a situation where there are clear escape routes
Domestic violence situation? Where you gonna run?
Criminal chooses a victim who is smaller, slower, or has limited mobility? Oops.
Debbie Leung did the best breakdown of self defense into Prevention, Avoidance (which includes running), Deterrence, and Resistance and later included De-Escalation. All of those are appropriate for different situations and different phases of an attack.
The last part, I've been saying it for a long time, the paradigm shouldn't be self-defense system vs combat sports system, but self-defense system on top of combat sports foundation. If you train MMA you get your basic fighting skills and physical attributes (even moreso if you additionally lift weights, which is also an add-on, and not necessarily part of the regular training) to be able to deal with the general pressure of fighting and to deliver enough damage with your attacks to incapacitate the attacker. With a self-defense system on top, you specialize those skills and attributes to work in non-rule based situations. If you only train MMA/combat sports, you lack the experience with unpredictable situations and could be overwhelmed if you find yourself in such a non-trained situation. If you only focus on scenario training and self-defense defense techniques, you probably haven't put in the time to really train your physical attributes.
Hit the nail on the head sir!
We don't train to fight. We train to neutralize in seconds.
*Overhand Right* the #1 attack. If there's one thing to remember in self defense that I learned here, it's to protect your head first last and always. One time I was across the street from a bar and saw some guy yelling "get out here!" and banging on the windows. Classic biker tough guy with the boots, pony tail, beard, and he was tall and pretty strong looking. An experienced street fighter you'd think. I thought "Whoever he's in a beef with is afraid to come out, can't say I blame him." Suddenly the door to the bar bursts open and out comes some dude who was considerably older and shorter with a huge beer belly. He charges up to biker guy. O boy here comes the fight. Biker guy, so hot a second ago, goes completely deer in the headlights like Wile E. Coyote, standing straight up with his arms by his side. Beer belly guy goes overhand right, bam, down goes biker guy, fight over. I can't imagine a street fight scenario where it was more clear cut on what to expect, and yet the supposed tough guy completely froze.
whats the end of the story! You got me curious.
@@inside_fighting That was pretty much it. Fat guy runs up to biker guy, who had plenty of time to react, and throws one punch. Biker guy goes down, fat guy kicked him once, then turned around and hustled back into the bar. Biker guy stayed down on the pavement going "uhhrrhggg."
Wow, that's pretty cool.
Exactly.
You never know what you will be facing on the street.
I always opted for going hard in self defense. But not many martial arts instructors seems to understand that in situation where your life is in danger, or your love ones, there's no predictable behavior from the attacker. So I totally agreed with creating lot of scenarios and for going hard to oponent. In total it is your life your protecting.
Greetings
Your insight and analysis is very good.. You are very well trained and put educated thought into your views. Im interested in learning some self defense from your videos. I think your point of self defense training vs mma training is a good one. Most people cant commit their life to mma and learning every bad ass technique. Full time job, wife, kids, other hobbies, etc.. This system looks to be a very intelligent way to train for self defense, Im interested. Avoid dangerous places if you can. Street fights are scary! No rules and you never know what will happen? I started out getting robbed and jumped in the city as a kid, terrible public schools, worked in a tuff area later on, took public transportation, and walked through bad areas to get home. Sure wudda been nice to have a car back then! Ive been in quite a few street fights, won some, lost some, been rat packed, black eyes, broken fingers, got a tooth knocked out, concussion, even got stabbed once.. Never saw the blade and thought I was punched, lucky it was a small blade in a non critical place. Running is a good tool, when appropriate, just like anything else its just an option. Ive avoided many fights by running, before the distance was closed. Like you pointed out though, Ive seen people try to run and then been chased down and beaten. I even like talking my way out of a fight. Up close Footwork and keeping distance for me has always worked best when I can. Im no tuff guy. I wrestled in school and then I got into boxing for fun, and it helped with self defense. I always used a high guard with elbows out in the street to avoid the head shots.. They always throw head shots.. If you get attacked, If you can protect your head and let them throw a bunch of crazy punches, dont get knocked out, they will get tired and then its your turn. Also dont be afraid to strike first if you know there's gonna be a fight. Angles and footwork helps a lot. I liked to throw head shots too, In close I like hooks and uppercuts, they surprise people, and knock them out too. Solid body shots hurt people also. I liked low kicks straight into the shin, low push kicks (keeps people away), and foot stomps too. Those expandable batons are a good range tool, and they hurt, but against a motivated opponent they are lacking in power. They cut and make things bloody. I think a shorter billy cub would be better, doesn't give you range, but you can generate force and break stuff. All in all, self defense starts with decision making, where are you, can you avoid it? Fitness is a weapon too, stay in shape. I had a very tuff guy take me down and try to beat me and I was scared, I held onto him so he could not hurt me, he got tired, I was able to get up and run. Training strikes and defense against strikes for self defense if important. Sport fighting sure can develop brutal sills, but when you compete you are fighting with rules. Remove the rules and things can change, especially mentally, (there is no ref and there may be multiple attackers) your trained punches, kicks and chokes are still great and can still win the fight a lot of the time, but its not a sport, its for real, and things are different. What is your opponents mindset? There are some tuff ass crazy people out there! Street fights are scary, !
The old school marine training videos use a club/baton, but you use the SHORT end. Ought to check it out. Was pretty enlightening for certain strikes
I like Sorudo's approach as well! I think the unpredictable variables in combatives is very needed. Other great companies like Shivworks does some of the same stuff and we add it in as well. Also, big fan of the A-Frame "Rhino" technique you showed as well.
You still got the best jingle on the internet 😂 Keep up the good work!
It seems like a system that adapts to anything. Glad you speak highly of kyokushin, I wish more karate schools were as good as kyokushin.
Kyokushin is one of my favorite martial arts. I love it.
@@inside_fighting do you still compete in tounaments ? and did get you blck belt ?
@@crisalcantara7671 I don't compete at the moment. I recently was training and busted my knee. I don't have a black belt in kyokushin... just in brazilian jiujitsu (second degree) and I'm a master in Doce Pares (which is the equvilant of a 3rd to 5th degree before "grandmaster").
I just train kyokushin for years.
one can't hate on this video, he covered about every aspect that deals with sd, ma and reality, kudos!
Thanks man. Appreciate that a lot
I love it! it really is the best self defense class I've seen on your channel. The club is a really great choice for self defense. There are a lot of tools that fit this role better than batons too. Wrenches, lighter hammers, pry bars, tire irons.
The back swing is just as important at the forehand. At a minimum, without a proficient backhand you have to complete three movements to get two strikes, whereas with a proficient backhand you keep a 1:1 ratio. Every move is an attack.
People forget that not everyone can run. I have a real bad knee, so for me running is impossible. I train to fight in one spot. I also train to end the fight immediately. Good stuff mate.
Glad you liked it. Just popped my knee last week. I’ve been limping around like a hobbit. I’ve been practicing movements with zero footwork just being based in one spot. It’s interesting
I keep coming back here just for the intro song. 😁
Bagua says that the running method is achieved by running through the attacker while performing a countermeasure
Carrying a baton is not always an option to carry. However, a good thick quality belt is always on your person. Used correctly can be a great defensive tool against knives and sticks. For the elderly, the cane can be deadly in the hands of someone who knows how to use it.
First time seeing your channel and that intro and dope ass musical number at the beginning got me subscribed! Keep up the great work brother!
transparently. I am able to consume your content more regularly when you present an element of humility. Humanity is cool, and its always nice to hype up other artists. Even martial artists.
Your commentary and analysis differenciating between combat sports and self defense made me subscribe. It's what I've been trying to get across to people for years. Very well done!
EXCELLENT WORDS on the “turn and run” idea.
If you don’t know how to protect yourself, then sure, run.
F you do . . . teach the assailant a good strong lesson.
McCabe Sabre style baton use is my preferred choice - the baton is held downwards hanging down, with either of the feet loaded or placed forwards.
Enjoyed your insights as usual... Self protection is indeed a different animal. Little things like fighting habits. In any sports system one usually either (if grappling) tries to establish position first, or, tries to use a set up movement for a strike... for example a feint with a backfist to kick to the leg... You cannot use this strategy on the streets, instead you need to immediately do something to cause injury, take control, create some distance. Hence the concept of atemi waza and how it translates: In the ring if I come directly with technique against similar skilled opponent I get countered... on the street, My concern is creating a path to control for my safety, and my opponent will usually have some percieved advantage. But skill to counter a technique is not one of these advantages.
Your statement about a backhand strike. I agree. You have to position the stick so you can generate force from it coming down on the target, this is a hand movement and perhaps one of the few fine motor actions worth training in as second nature. Simply back handing is not a force generator. The baton is a great weapon, I consider it basically a stick with advantages.
My own approach is to concentrate on gross movement skills until good movement habits are second nature. Then people need to feel how your body behaves in survival mode, realize the importance of certain habits... and only then can technique develop effectively.
Great video!!
GREAT observation RE running away. I'm pushing up against 62. My running days are long past. When I have trained knife defense, I have assumed I will get cut. The imperative is to minimize the bad cuts and impose a disabling injury on my attacker.
Yeah. Can't really run anymore, and I'm not big, so I have to carry weapons. But, I try my best to completely avoid getting into a bad situation. Of course, sometimes it just can't be avoided.
I like that there are new systems out there and it’s evolving
I grew up in a decent area, and still live in an ok area. I have (knocks on wood) never been suprised held up for money or anything.
I can say as on older person (45 this yr) that every altercation I've been in cpuld have most likely been difused if I swallowed my pride and just kept my big ass mouth shut.
This has resulted in waking up in a hospital twice, being charged and convicted once when the court determined mynactions went beyond defending ones self (kicked a guy in the head after he was already basically out, was still angry) and a slew of other incidents.
I was never one to start anything. If someone wanted to hurt me physically I would take it as offensive and it would really piss me off.
All this got me was hurt bad by multiple people when i thought i was fighting one, my ass kicked baddly by just one, amd things in my record that come up in background checks that will be there forever.
Part of self defense is checking the ego and pride. Looking back i really thing almost all of shit I've been through could have been avoided entirely.
Agreed on everything. 45 ain’t old brother 💪🏽
Another opinion (and it is just an opinion, no right or wrong) is that a holding a closed position if you have the longer weapon allows you to cover more of your torso for protection against cuts should something get through. obviously, a longer weapon, time and distance should allow back hand strikes against the attackers lead arm if they close, but like everything, it's a trade off.
I agree. There’s benefits to both and also there are times where you don’t get to choose also

Please review Shifu Kanishka teachings
I like your common-sense approach easy to understand. In my area hard to find a decent fast self-defense system without a belt system. I need one on one not sure a video course can help a noob.
appreciate that!
I always advocate for Mixed Martial Arts for self defense, because it's the most realistic. Mixed martial artists know that if you short stroke your punches like in the video, you will get hurt in the cage. In the street you will get hurt or killed if you think those short stroked punches or even those baton strikes will fend off serious attackers. If they practiced good technique in that area, I'd say it looks like a good system. That is a big factor in a fight though, especially on the street considering that most street fighters are going to be swinging for the fences, so you better be throwing strikes that are meant to put your opponent down as quick as possible, IMO.
Even though MMA alone doesn't teach you all the different street variables, if you train in MMA you will know what to do when put in pretty much any position, and you can use your MMA knowledge and technique to practice whatever scenarios you can think of. ✌💚..
Sorudo is great, as is your commentary. Great video, thanks. I liked and subscribed.
I teach adaptive self defense as well, this is a great approach. However, something that I stress personally, is that weapons are not always an option due to sudden factors that happen. As such, knowing how to use high covers, navigating the clinch in order to work your way to accessing ones edc tool is a crucial aspect.
I agree, You have to have a protective response to extreme stress. They seem to practice this as well. A simple cover for your entire head.
Hey Brandon hope you're well
I do hope you do a 📷 on Tony Blauer. He's greatly overlooked in self defense system topics!
The arguement about running away, seems to be from mostly sport martial artists. Of course if you can run, you would. There's a number of reasons why you can't run away. You could get attacked at home, at work, or you could be with out with your child/elderly family member. This martial art looks to be very well developed. Like you said, its best to train for multiple situations as possible. This is what I liked about Krav Maga, that it trained for multiple situations, compared to the training I was doing at the time. Although, I had to wait around 5 years from that point, for someone to bring it to my local area. Training people who are in wheelchairs are a great idea. Richard Dimitri has said multiple times, that if his 70+ year old mum, who's in a wheelchair can't do it, its not self defense. If you've not heard of him, you definitely need to check him out 😃
Sometimes you have to protect other people

@@inside_fighting Sure, June in Portugal sounds posible, but we can schedule also US, I will contact you on Instagram DM to speak about the details?
What happens if the attacker runs faster than you?
Exactly. Running is one solution, for very specific situations. Doesn't work if - you're slower, wearing high heels, in an elevator, surrounded by the perps friends, etc....
It's all about how you evaluate the attacker ................is the attacker a psycho or a poser or a fighter................ or...or....or...............................................
You have to evaluate your opponent quick and right to choose the right response.
Ah yes, the ancient martial art of "run fu"...

Have you done a video on Lee Morrison’s Urban Combatives? 🙏🏻
He has already
Lee is outstanding, as well as Kelly.
In a wheelchair which is a challenge to running away. Everything is challenging.
Lee Morrison's Urban Combatives is hands down the best self defense program and instructor by far.
Just based on what has been said in the first three minutes, all I can ask is what makes Sorudo any different from Systema, Krav Maga, or any other fighting/self-defense system that's supposedly focused on "real life" situations?
As far as the "just run" stuff, I think that if you're within 10ft of the person, that's dumb as hell. 10ft is not hard to cross, especially if they're willing to lunge or jump, meaning that in the time it takes you to turn and take the first step, they may be able to take a step and jump, potentially driving a knife or some other weapon directly into your freshly exposed back.
Obviously this is modified by number of attackers, distance, state of the fight/encounter, and other things, but "just run" in many ways seems like a great way to find yourself on the receiving end of a very aggressive acupuncture session.
I always tried to walk away, avoidance, until I wasnt allowed to do that. It works until it doesnt, then you have to go all out.

5:12 This looks like it would be a good compliment to JKD.
for sure it would be!
@@inside_fighting I see the same principles; strong side forward, bladed stance, and rear hand defense.
I was just going to watch this video, but what got me to subscribe was the THEME SONG!!!!
I hail from Atemi Ryu Jujitsu. Similar training.

Very informative and definitely the best approach. BTW, don't apologize about the speech mistakes; I'm getting my 3rd Vodka and tonic and I'm having trouble too lol.
Haha better day than I’m having
Always improving and evolving my Man, Respect 🎉🎉🎉
I was in a knife fight, he was already so close that running would have ended badly for me. Running can b very dangerous
Great breakdown! Thanks!

I can’t make a proper fist I know how to but my index fingers just stick out a lot I think it may be a bone issue so when you talk about open hand it’s very true and useful for people like me. I’ve try to practice open hand stuff as much as I can cause I don’t wanna break my hand specially as I work as an artist so it’s my livelihood
All your videos are updated, very interesting and excellent. I hope you will show videos about Russian military hand-to-hand combat and combat sambo.
Systema. Would like to see this.
I haven't run yet, and had plenty of issues where I'm at. I carry a karambit at all times. It has a bar to attach it to your pocket, and a ring to slide your finger in. It can be ready to go in a millisecond because it opens when you pull the ring. Sorry, but I think that's the best weapon. I used to train in JKD, and fell in love with that weapon, and will never consider another.
I live in a stand your ground state, so that's what I'll do, rather than get stabbed fleeing.
Mass Attacks during my Kenpo Brown belt test (can’t remember which tier) was all about getting jumped by random attacks from multiple opponents. I remember it was fun and pretty eye opening that sometimes brawling is all you are able to do.
You're intro is insane 😂😂😂
Maybe it’s completely sane and the world itself is insane 🤔🧐
Whatever.. l like it 😄😄😄😄
Awesome! Great stuff! :)
Baton that expands is the same as a tire iron that expands…as long as you are close to your car!
One aspect that many miss when advising running as the ultimate self-defense move is that one can trip and then one's whole plan goes out the window.
Looks a lot like Krav Maga Training. Sorudo is a good system.
Get a felt tip Sharpie marker , use it as a fake knife, see if You can "mark up" Your opponent 😊
Good advice .
RE Migraine - so glad its not just me that looses speech when I get it. Feels like I'm drunk - but HEAVY intoxicated - where I never get. so that's why I guess...
It was cool. Thanks for the insight Bro.
Looks good
Well I would just moon walk, never let them know your next move, while they are distracted, confused, and amazed with my awesome moon walking skills I could then just run away
Yes that is the good stuff
I LIKE IT, THANKS
I have my LTC and a healthy dose of paranoia. Been training in the MA for the last 37yts. All that goes out the window when I form my sight picture.
I think forehand strikes when nervous and afraid might lead to flailing/over commitmet and being off balance. You see it in videos of people throwing haymakers in a fight, they fall forward. Now imagine adding a weight to their hand. CZcams bar fights. A lot of arnis systems teach the backhand first against every angle of attack.
