Security Expert Demonstrates Self-Defense Techniques You Need To Know | TODAY
I fell in love with Evy lol she's so awesome.
"She's a little crazy. I'm going to pick somebody else." My self-defense strategy all the time!
I wish those women would shut up and let her talk, especially the big one - she was really annoying!
the calf muscle is way too high, and it is ice cone shaped. This is not a woman.
@@snowfall7557 That is a horrendously disrespectful, tasteless, and uneducated worldview
@@TofuTeo it is actually more educated than you´d think. I have researched this for months. There are 32 traits for archeologists to distinguish a female skeleton from a male one. These traits are things like skull size, hip to shoulder ratio, the angle of the clavicles, brow ridge etc. Why is the bone structure so important nowadays? because they have brazilian butt implants, botox, feminization surgery, and all that to hide what they are. But they CAN`T change the bone structure, it gives them away every single time
@@TofuTeo another giveaway is posture. Women have an arch in the lower back, men´s backs don´t have the curve. That´s because women (real women) have to regulate the balance of the body in a different way when they are pregnant, so the arch in the lower back on the female skeleton is a feature that helps to stand straight even when carrying a massive weight in the front of the belly. The missing arch in the lower back is often seen on celebrity-on-the-beach pics. Now look at the spines of these "women" in this clip. Do they have flat backs, or do they have a female curve in the lower back. :) You have been trained by media to think that my words are disrespectful and uneducated, but actually I am quite educated on this topic, and all I´m saying is, we´re all being decieved on a massive scale. There were fabulous videos on this topic on YT, but they have all been deleted (censored). Guess why. They don´t want you to know. Still - bone structures tell the truth, and they can´t change that. Also, we´ve been told that hollywood celebs fear ageing that´s why they have surgeries all the time. That is incorrect. The male traits become more dominant as they age, that´s why they have to have surgeries all the time, or the deception would become obvious. If you´re interested, do some research on bone structure and male / female traits. It´s very interesting. Have a lovely day
Oh my goodness, how are you/we going to learn if you dont stop talking, ladies. That was solid information, just wish we could all hear it with out constant interruption. Thank you for having Evy on. 🙏🏻
Yes
Evy is amazing
For effective self-defence train in a school associated with Ryan Hoover of Fit To Fight, or train Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (not just one or the other, you need both- a stand-up striking art and a ground fighting grappling art).
But most importantly, whatever you train in, you need to receive training in Pre-Fight Strategy. Pre-Fight Strategy covers situational awareness, threat identification, threat assessment, avoidance tactics, distance control, de-escalation, pre- fight interview, pre-attack indicators, understanding a violent situation, pre-emptive strategy, improvised weapons, escape and egress, and stress response.
These 2 ladies don't let Evy speak!! Goodness!
Evy has a great book out now, called "Becoming Bulletproof". The libraries have it.
Also, grip your keys so they come out between your knuckles. Use them to punch an attacker's face or throat. Or get a thick wooden broom handle end, about five inches long on your key ring. Grip it and use the end to punch at a stomach, face or groin.
finally, someone tries to make sense on national media
Thank y'all so much dearest 🌹
Y'all such an inspiration 🥰
Appreciate y'all from the bottom of my heart 💖
Be Blissful Eternally 🙏👼🌈
Great advice!! Gettin' an l.e.d. flashlight🙌
Evy’s so freaking cool 💚 I admire her so much, and her book is amazing!!! I love her collabs with Lisa Bilyeu 💚
be impossible to gauge her combat abilities especially against a grown adult male who weighs twice her size
but the fact she started with the eyes first tells you she is educated... there's a reason why eye gouging is banned in combat sports
I effin inspire to be Evy😍 my weakness though and probably shouldn't put this out there is food😩 you need something out of me or lure me with food yeah it's over for me😭 lol
Alex is a good sport.
Evy is the bomb.
I want to know why KLG is not shown here in NC??? Hendersonville to be exact! They are my absolute favorite and I have not been able to watch since I moved here:( any ideas???
I clicked on this video to hear the security expert...not the 2 ditzy women in pink.
I love Evy and I I own her books but who is going to have time to shine a flashlight in someone's eyes. I can't imagine a situation where an attacker is running towards me like how she is describing. Attackers come-from-behind.
Good point.
she flashlight shown there is a key chain and women are told to hold their key chains in their hands whenever they go out alone at night, as they are a good possible weapon to poke someone in the eyes or otherwise defend yourself
Mace is illegal in the UK.
She just should keep on talking..i dont care ....just talk evy, she is so cool
This guy nodding yeah thats where u can knock me out 😄
Envy is so little!
Ooooh I just got a flashback!
Xena Warrior Princess teaching Gabrielle how to survive.
"I don't want to learn how to fight," Gabrielle says, surrendering after Xena pockets the best dagger. "I just want to learn how to survive."
Xena turns to answer.
"Rule number 1 if you can run, run.
Rule number 2 if you can't run, surrender and run. Rule number 3 if your in a fight and your outnumbered let them fight each other while you run. Number 4..."
Wait - Gabrielle says, "more running?"
"No," Xena replied, "this is where you talk your way out of it and I knew you can do that."
Gabrielle smiles at Xenas compliment on which Xena goes on to say
"people are too quick to draw a sword, it should come at a last resort."
EVEN she (the character) kept Gabrielle safe. Her safety had to come first at all costs just because Xena would fight and do all that she didn't expect Gabrielle to.
We all know what happens in the end but you take the jist from what I'm saying...
what is her height?
Gosh let her speak!
Never punch someone in face the scull is very hard you will only break your hands kick him in the the nuts and run
Hahaha
Or stick your fingers in their eyeballs. For real. It works.
Go for the nose lol
Depending on the size of the threat, I’d use a web throat strike. There are women who are just as dangerous as men. If you collapse there trachea and they lose enough oxygen to die, you might face jail time. Unless you’re prepared to do an emergency tracheotomy? I guess it depends on the size and the intent of the attacker. This wouldn’t be an issue if we all learned how to…….#evolve
It's evident that the life people lead today is quite a faulse environment. I suppose they didn't experience the rough and tumble of fighting. In Scottish culture we are taught to hit back harder than we were hit, our parents brought us up as they were to be able to face life in a hazzardous world. No sympathy was given even for girls being hit by boys, we didn't cry and run away but fought harder and meaner. I suppose this is still in our blood for centuries are we are still quite close to the wild. In Celtic history life was tough really tough and children around 5 were thought to hunt small game, if they didn't come back with something they would be locked outside in the elements, they were prepared for a hard existence and anything less that hard was paradise. I'm proud to be tough like that and not wrapped in cotton wool
What if the aggresor carries a gun?
Then you carry a gun too and out shoot them
Then you pray to God to help you. Good luck with that.
HERE TO LEARN FROM THE EXPERT NOT HOSTS.
Mace or pepper spray not a good idea. You could end up macing yourself. Learn a few good moves and RUN!
so we should take your advice over a former secret service agent?
@@chuckdambuza3938 honestly many police officers think mace is a bad idea. Some people think it's a good idea some people think it's a bad idea. Some of the cons to it are if it's windy it can go on your face and also if you don't use it properly the assailant can grab it out of your hands and use it on your eyeballs.
Evy can practice moves on... alright it's old but still! lol
Evy is so full of information, but good god these hosts need to learn to listen & be quiet, they are just trying to insert themselves every few seconds. 🤦🏽♀️
HODA, please enlighten EVY about male interviewers
lol
"Does She Still Offer Courses?"
She published a book 😍
There is no bone in the nose 🤔
Yes there is
@@Divergent333 Whats it called?
@@wraymcclamma4707 they are called 'nasal bones.' A quick Google will show you this
@@Divergent333 Nasal bones are a part of the skull. An Anatomy and Physiology textbook will tell that. The nose is attached to those bones by cartilage
@@wraymcclamma4707 a part of the skull which is part of the nose.
The only annoying people here are the hosts. Shut up and listen!
so, she gets her self defense strategy from the film:
Miss Congeniality?
She used to be in the secret service, so NO.
She was a secret service agent. She's protected multiple presidents. What made you assume that they came from a film?
I wish the presenters would just shut up during her instructions! They are acting like 5 year old pre school kids!
LOL is this a joke?!?!?
You're a joke.
Your psychological mindset. Not your physical mindset, now, but your psychological mindset. Jesus Christ. You want real self defence go look at Lee Morrison clips.
Proved she doesn't have any expertise in firearms and thought it smart to show how useless she is in hand-to-hand combatives as well.
I'm a self-defence instructor. Actually, the advice she gives in the first part of the video is quite good. Switching the predator-prey relationship is critical. Then she talks about aggression. Aggression is the X-Factor. you either have it or you don't. If you have it, it's a huge equalizer. Then she talks about primary targets. She talks about how you won't remember or be able to perform fine motor skills under stress. All pretty good stuff though I'm not big on the heel into the in-step or shin techniques. Where I think this starts to fall down is at the end when she talks about tools like flashlights. Anyway, actually not a bad segment. Thanks.
Meesh Meeshelle Meesh Meeshelle she worked protecting 3 USA presidents, she went through a very physical and mental training campus! No many last these campus and you are saying all these garbage about her! Once you get to where she got then you can talk!
Get to work in the White House first and then come back to here to comment!
Night Owl Hahahaha She didn’t endure anything but hair and makeup. Affirmative action got her into such a position, not talent. I’ve trained children who could defeat her. She’s nothing special.
Meesh Meeshelle Meesh Meeshelle sure, she worked protecting USA presidents but not based on talent, what a risk the White House took?!?!? 🙄 as if they’d be that stupid!!
Children that can defeat her??? I hope those kids have done MMA like she has!
@@meeshmeeshelle6326 Then it's probably embarrassing for you to know that she was a member of the secret service for many years. Also she realized that women in the secret service were given lower expectations than the men. She decided to make her standards the men's standards and trained at their level. I'm sorry but no matter how "qualified" you are, I doubt that you're on her level.
I think you have to understand that Evy is not giving instructions for you to become a pro at self defense. She's giving advice for the common woman to fight back and ultimately escape if they are getting attacked.
