Old school British wrestling .
Used a forearm smash into the neck in an upwards movement.
I love exploring the forgotten techniques.
Of years gone by.
Excellent vid.
Keep em coming.

Thank you for consistently putting out content for so long, Kevin. I can’t even remember when I first found your channel but I know it was many years ago
Thank. I really appreciate the support. Do you have any subject requests?
Wholly agree and the quality of teaching is not seen anywhere else
@@interludo thank you. I appreciate you watching.
There are only a very few people with such a vast sea of knowledge and experience as Kevin. I really hope to learn from you someday in person. Osss
Thank you for the kind words. I hope to train with you someday too.
The most underrated channel unfortunately.....Kudos to you bro
Thanks. That’s very kind.
Would love to see you and Icy Mike from hard2hurt compare notes.
Thanks
Thank you Kevin keep up the videos 👍🙏
Thanks for watching. All the best in your training.
Thanks for sharing Kevin, I was at a kudo workshop and the teacher showed a similar fist shape to the second upper cut you showed. I do prefer it with no gloves it just took a while to get it into my muscle memory.
Well explained. What I've been taught regarding the palm strike is to go for 45° up. The idea is that it still spins the brain, but also pushes back. If it's more one than the other, it's still doing something...
I've seen a variation, where I'm not sure if it's practical or not. It was mostly upwards, but a palm strike coming a bit from the side to the chin (rather than the wrist, it's the edge of the hand near the pinky that makes contact) and staying very close to the body. In one game, it was exaggerated and resulted in the opponent flying up and the palm of the attacker ended up in a position like a waiter carrying his plate high. I mention it because I think that it better helps to visualize the precise motion I mean. In any case, the power comes definitely mostly from the body and not the arm. Despite looking a bit awkward, it can be a very swift and fluid motion.
Absolutely
Great videos Kevin,Hope you come back to Lupercalia next year
Thank you
I love this channel. I’ve started training in 1986, and it’s been all bare knuckle. Iron Palm training is not a fad or joke.
Absolutely. I’ve had some real deal instructors who could do some incredible things. Consistency is the only secret.
It’s an utter fact that we get calluses, and an utter fact that none tissue grows with stress. Train them fists!
very cool. i taught wwii combatives, was a bouncer, and can speak to what works.
you are the next level for my experiences, and so i’m digging this channel ☮️
i let go of my once hyper focus on this stuff and find myself returning to it as i close in on 60yrs 🔥
Thanks for watching
Bare Knuckle striking is so different I'm reminded of Mike Tyson breaking both his hands when he attacked someone in a Pharmacy. How do you even go to the bathroom after that. Lol.
I think it was only one hand and in a clothing store against Green but yes no matter how good you are, heads are hard lol
Thanks again for this instructional. Bare knuckle is a whole other game from gloved boxing. I wonder if Bobby Gunn (the greatest bare knuckler of modern times) threw these types of upper cuts...
@@igorg.8624 no idea
Excellent video. Uppercuts are one of my favourite strikes but I will start drilling the upward elbow. I've seen this technique used in mma. I believe Anderson Silva brutally kod someone this way!
Thanks for watching. They are incredibly powerful. Yes Silva had some
brutal elbow skills .
I love your contents... Any strong impact on the throat, especially a well placed elbow like in 3:00, is obviously devastating. Would you 'recommend' it in situation where the attacker is not threatening voluntarily your life ? I believe it can be lethal... And should be trained mostly out of curiosity and skill development, but barely as something you seriously think you will apply in every day life / civilian defense. Thank you for your contents.
Thanks for watching. Throat hits for me are only for absolutely lethal encounters where you feel your life is in certain danger and you are unable to flee or otherwise disable them. Too many styles are casual about teaching lethal strikes. The legal dangers of excessive force should always be considered.
Excellent as always, Kevin
Thanks Charly.. Great to hear from you. I hope you are well.
@@systemacanada i am and hope you are too. I will email to ask a few questions if that is ok. Have the hotmail address.
@@charlyaurelia1801 I look forward to it. We will resume the chat there :)
Thank you so much, Kevin.
Thanks for watching.
Great analysis as always, prof.
Thanks for watching as always. Deeply appreciated.
There's an old but awesome product called "Shoe Goo" thats made for repairing the soles of shoes . If you use it right it can repair BOB's nose .
I’ve tried just about everything but haven’t tried shoes goo and I even have it in the house lol
@@systemacanada It's worth a....shot! I keep my BOB near a window . Last week I'd opened the shades and my neighbor who can't see well thought I had shaved my head and was standing there shirtless staring at him raking leaves . He said he went from waving hello to "whats up MF!?" because I just kept staring motionless. Then I came around the corner with my groceries and he got all confused .
@@BradYaeger lol
Hi Kevin, I know you favour the top 2 knuckle striking. But don't you feel that the wrist buckles more easily? For instance, if you do a push up, people normally use the bottom 3 knuckles vertically on the floor/wall. If you push up with the top 2 knuckles, you clearly are more unstable... What are you thoughts? Great video BTW
No I disagree it’s less stable. It’s a question of training. I can’t imagine doing a push-up on the bottom three at this point. Karate or styles like bando do everything on the first two knuckles. I think people mistake alignment with straightness. In almost every yooo or weapon use, optional alignment is a bent wrist. It’s one of those areas that is poorly taught. Check out this video. It might give you some new concepts to think about

@@systemacanada thank you!
I personally always find elbows far more effective than punches. Elbows and knees do way more damage to your opponent.
Absolutely agree on every level. Elbows are king.
@@systemacanada what's your take on headbutts?
@@colemorrow3333 I love them, have used them a lot. I don’t like to whip my head. I tuck my chin and spear with the front to crown using my legs. I find it easier on the neck and brain
@@systemacanada I've there's a certain way to do it, you use the hardest part of your head and strike the soft part of their face is that true?
@@colemorrow3333 yes exactly. You want to deliver it to soft tissue like the lips and nose. I try to avoid catching the brow or eye socket. Ideally I like to be a little to one side and to hit the side of the cheek and chin area to cause a rotations whipping of the head. If I need to hit directly , the the triangle of the bridge of the nose down to the bottom of either smoke line is a primary target. The teeth can cut the head skin a little bit but they will do much worse damage to the face in my experience. Mind you I also had more hair back then when I used them lol.
What about one palm on each side of the jawline, driving upwards about 6 "? It's a Tai chi strike.
It’s usually hitting the mental nerve on the jawline. In TCM they make a big deal about the angle of insertion but in my experience a single hard hook strike is the easiest to score and very reliable. But yes both sides simultaneously pushing upward could whiplash the head backwards
@@systemacanada Is the single hard hook strike with the fist or the palm?
@@user-wj3jg9sz2u either works.
What about upward blows into the torso, especially if the opponent is leaning or bent over a bit?
Absolutely. Torso requires no modification from a gloved hit. Just regular alignment and surfacing .super good hits.
Okay but what should i do if he has hands
Shake the right one and make friends.
@@systemacanada Well said man, well said🤝🫂
Just came across this video. What the fuck did this guy used to do where eye gouging was common?
I was a bouncer. Eye gouging and biting happened all the time in the clinch.
I mean Kuper
