- A great fighting tip I was taught by Tony Blauer is found in his SPEAR System which takes your natural defense mechanism and reverses them.
SPEAR stands for Spontaneous Protective Enabling Accelerated Responses.

Don't forget to say "boom" or "bam" for 30% more effectiveness
Little-known fact: Emeril was a savage street fighter.
Boom boom
Yeah, say"BOOM" when you go in heavy and "BA BAM" for the one-two follow-up. ;)
Exhaling when performing movement actually does increase the power output because it tightens the core muscles.
You beat me to it! 😂
it works, Bas Rutten says "Bing" or "Bong" or both.
Nicely put, a gifted instructor, simple, relevant, common sense once he explains it.
You remind me of De Niro from younger days on that photo :)
What a great video. I've watched it several times and I think I've perfected it. I was able to integrate it with my startle response. This video is also very helpful in helping me identify the sources of my daily threats. Now my wife, 8-year-old, 11-year-old and my two year old, have all succumb to the spear, FEAR THE SPEAR!!
Love it. CHECK that fam.
Like Tyson said everyone has a plan till they get punched in the mouth
Lol...kids always make great training aids
If someone’s attacking you, their adrenaline’s gonna be going, they’ll feel little to no pain. Unless you’re breaking their collar bone I don’t see this working better than just punching them in the jaw. You’re wasting forward momentum and energy you could be using to punch them in the jaw, eye, or temple, or poke them in the eye which I think would have a lot more stopping power than this. Thoughts?
Haha
The best advice I was ever given for street fighting and deal with aggressors, was from my late uncle. He was in the market gang in Leeds in the 1950-60’s, at the time one was in prison, one dead and him on the outside. That’s right, only 3 of them, all very, very bad man. The advice was buy the best pair of running shoes you can afford and leg it!
That's right, fight never pays off, except if it's a situation with no choice or no possibility of running, then these advice can be of good use
Here's another tip: The 11 pm Rule. Get back to your perimeter by 11 pm. Why? The 11 pm Rule states that if it happens after 11 pm and before sunrise and it makes the news, it's bad news. Good stuff almost never happens in that time frame.
@@jim2376 Exactly! When I used to be in the eastern block, I would always make sure I was back at base, my apartment, hotel, where my bed was before 10pm. When the moon appears so do the idiots.
@@DYNABLASTERTUNERS Yep, and even if you're in the right (defending yourself) the law looks at it much differently. You could simply be defending yourself and still end up in jail or even prison.
@@tidefanyankee2428 Yes I know, I was in jail because of self defense lol Some big guys attacked us, i got the skinnier one but very tall, my friend got his brother the big one, I knocked down the tall one and when he was on the floor in squat position I did something that I shouldn't done, I smacked him with fist on his backhead - that is very hard and I broke my bone on hand at little finger, so he noticed that I was hurt and stood up slowly and then I smacked him with backhand saying "where are you going?" and he again did squat hahaha after some more running away returning with a plank and fighting again, they run and police arrested us all, in the police station both witness got the most beating from the police LOL it was the time in Serbia when dictator Milosevic should fall, very nervous time, and therefore they have put us in jail and we got on court and payed the half money the attacker payed, ridiculous, I had two more fights and was victorious, but it doesn't pay off, from now on I will tell the attacker "I don't want to hurt you" and run! :D Because that broken hand bone at little finger now I have much weaker grip on a pull up bar, ridiculous how much that tiny bone means, so fight really doesn't pay off.
Tony is the man. His fight psychology/FEAR course is great.
When I was in Wing Chun, the instructor always mentioned how Bruce Lee like the 120 angle arm for power but never explained it like it was something magical…you just made me understand it in a few minutes. I should pay you for that!! 🤘
@John Doe 😂🤣🤣. All my years in the martial arts down the Krapper in one flush! Good one!
all martial arts, (not just 'traditional chinese', i mean boxing, fighting etc), the 'secret' to power is 2 simple things, yet insanely hard to master. 1. is core strength. not 'abs'...but actual CORE. The 'whip' from the core generates the power. But you have to 'transfer' the power and that comes from
2. co-ordination. When punching you're lining up your fist, arm, elbow, shoulder, waist/core, hip, leg, ankle, so you're literally transferring the force of the floor through your fist.
That's how the 1 inch punch is done. Power isn't from your arms, its from your core.
Did they tell you in Wing Chun not to bother conditioning that part of the arm because it's already hard ?
It isn’t from your core! The core helps, but WTF?! Bruce even said it. It comes from the ground. You’re like a finger pointing to the moon. You’re just pointing!
Mac is awesome, but this is stupid. The brachial strike is ten times more effective than any of this nonsense.
For real I just started watching like 2 weeks ago but this guy is amazing, everyone needs a bro or a crazy uncle like this guy.
Love the Coal Chamber in the background!
Tenacity and ferocity are important. You can learn fighting skills for self defense, but those skills need to be taught and executed with tenacity and ferocity. Because it's very likely that if you're ever attacked, tenacity and ferocity is going to be what's directed at you.
The day after doing this class at my agency I had a dude throw a haymaker at me, SPEAR worked amazingly well and got a partial knock out. I was SOLD!! Also years later helped stopped a knife attack. I highly recommend this tactic.
If they come at me with intentions noted, the moment they enter my space, I go offensive and don't hesitate to strike the Vagus nerve very quickly and take no chances, one well executed strike to the Vagus nerve either a chop or a close fisted hammer blow will drop any attacker big or small into immediate unconsciousness!!....Enabling you to get away and avoid the inevitable!!.....Love Mac's knowledge, the Guy's a treasure trove of experience in fighting with or W/O firearms!!.....He's shared his armed skills which I practice with and results in even more confidence for me when the real deal eventually happens!!.....GJ MAC!!....Thanks for sharing!!
Can you do a video about fear management? That's an interesting concept.
He had Fear Factory on the background, does that count?
If you're interested in fear management I'd recommend following tony blauer
Check out "On Killing" and "On Combat" by Col. Grossman, as well as "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin de Becker. As with anything, people have opposing opinions, but there is valuable information within each book.
To overcome/mitigate fear (whether from H2H combat, gunfighting, or other stressful, life-threatening situations), you need to immerse yourself in that which you fear, and train under as much mental and physical stress as you can take. I personally know of numerous so-called "black belts" in various martial arts who have never been hit in the face. Does it seem like a good idea that the first time they ever experience that, it will be in a street fight for their lives?
@@aanikola sounds like coal chamber to me
Everything is already inside of you. Put yourself into places or situations that cause you mild but manageable fear. The thing that helped me most was not ignoring fear but completely feeling it. Observe it and it will sharpen your awareness and senses. If you are looking for a step by step I'd say concentrate on your breathing. Panic will kill you before Fear will.
This 100% works. As a kid I grew up involved in practical martial arts for years. Some of these instincts like the ability to turn your head first toward the threat and putting hands up ready to lunge forward instead of flinching backwards take years of training, but since I learned this as a kid it is engrained in me. I’m not in fighting shape nowadays and not a tough guy or bad ass, but have defended my self in the streets multiple times coming away unscathed thankfully.
You always have such a quick and simple way of explaining complicated ideas. 20+ years of wing chun and JKD (among other martial arts, mostly FMA) and this is one of the best explanations of this concept I've ever heard. Good info.
Damn right. I was into judo, jujutsu, jkd and after all i learned was: keep it simple, straight, hard. End a fight in seconds. Finish your job.
I love this guys' vocabulary.
Ya know the more I watch pat Mac and other's like him that was in the unit the more I appreciate that men like him are out there being the sheep dogs. They all have my respect and gratitude.
Thank you for being quick and to the point. So many instructors like to hear themselves talk. Thanks Pat Mac!
I used a similar technique, most of my career when dealing with people I was arresting who were resisting. I have to admit one of the reasons I used it was because it just doesn't look as bad to hit somebody like that with your whole arm as it does hitting them when your fist. But it is effective and it did often take the fight out of people right away.
It's still being taught down here AZ. Called by a different name with small differences. It works!!
Is it literally a forearm strike to the collar bone or some other area in the upper chest or face?
@@jpc3984 , for me, my target was always the base of the neck, on the side or the back. I just found that worked well for me.There is a big muscle there, and it hurts to take a blow there. But, you're not going to really do any permanent damage. It's pain compliance, not damage compliance. Take into account, these are my views on it.
@@ralphholiman7401 Yep, thanks.
Yeah well, they should use thier damn turn signals and not drive under the speed limit.
Extremely effective, my marine cousin did this on me , minimal force across the neck, had trouble breathing , took 20 minutes to compose myself . The whole body plus body weight plus momentum- devistating blow .
never heard of this but it sounds absolutely brilliant
I use an elbow strike with momentum for a first strike option whenever possible its a fight ender just like this one is and if you have the momentum you barely feel it land.
@@shadowbanned5164 the elbow is an extremely effective weapon! A good shot to the throat, the side of the head, the nose, is usually a game over. If you can’t breath it’s hard to put up much of a fight.
@@charlesprice7608 Im a big guy if I strike someone in the throat I could kill them the side of the rib cage is a prime target for me you can hit it as hard as you like.
@@shadowbanned5164 much more effective is using your 4 knuckles and do a strike right to the middle of the throat, it actually can be deadly lethal. Very minimal force required.
That last part cracked me up “hey, I don’t want any problems…bam!”
Lol
Similar to what I learned from Frank Cucci back in the day. Hands up and forward, deflect incoming or use to impact while closing. Immediately follow up with strikes.
Speed, surprise, violence of action.
WOW... the SPEAR System.
This takes me back.
Quick and simple technique to stop an aggressor if utilized properly. I dig it. Thank you much PatMac
Legend has it the training dummy is actually a real person, he was so scared upon meeting Pat Mac, hasn't moved since.
It's a very versatile frame, used by Mayweather and others frequently. It can also be popped in with vicious intent into the neck, rather than the chest. Tiny students have put me down with that even at half power and through a go-kart neck brace.
My favorite part of this technique is how useful it is in a street fight.
Street fights, especially against multiple opponents, become messy - insofar as overall body movements go. As for conditioning / body hardening goes though, it can be helpful to gradually harden such areas to reduce the incidence of fractures. That's my personal preference. Excellent content, brother!
As if you had street fights against multiple opponents...
@@stephanea5364 If you've been in a street fight more than a couple times, then you've probably faced multiple opponents. lol
@@Simplicitywins I had with ONE opponent but multiple? Must be confusing as f.
@@stephanea5364 I wouldn't call it confusing - it gets messy & chaotic. You have to keep moving, & it helps to put people in each other's way so that you can't be surrounded. It can devolve into like you see in movies, if you're slow enough to let happen. Smashing people into each other, & into the environment, is a good way to reduce the damage to yourself. You need to have some sort of out though, whether it's help from friends, or to gtfo of there. It's easy to get overwhelmed, & we know most fights go to the ground... & the last thing you want is down on the ground & surrounded.
My dad told me about Tony yeeeaaaars ago. Love that guy! And what an amazing, effective system. REALLY cool you’re talking about him!! Two of my favorite badass dudes!
Good stuff! Thank you for sharing! Moving your feet is the key to the spear right? Your instruction is always very helpful!
Definitely going to use the distraction move at 2:17.
Pat Mac is awesome and eternal. Have a whiskey with him if you are ever in his AO.
My step dad an old school 80s firefighter, who you remind me a lot of grew up fighting on the south side of San Antonio in the 60 and 70s. He'd always tell me to hit the nose to get the involuntary tears and kick them in the nuts🤣. He was a hard man who lived a hard life and died way too young.
yes or u can attack the eyes directly 2 haha kick or knee in the balls depending how close or far you are
Can we just apreciate the sheer amount of great content Pat is uploading! Amazing!
Wow brother just stumbled across the video.
I love it. Honest speaking. No bs’s!
I have never worked out, won a fight or fired a gun but I love watching Pat Mac
I've gotten to old to roll around in the dirt in a street fight, my shoulders will never be what they were. My SPEAR is now a Ruger 1911. It's heavy, but very effective.
So what’s the actual criteria then? The person put hands on you? The fight has initiated? Or you’ve begun losing the fight? Or you end the fight before it begins? (Which legally speaking, would be murder because the person hasn’t given physical intent to harm you yet)
Edit: Not trolling, genuinely curious.
@@yobrodontshoot1130 I've thought about that. Unfortunately, every situation is different as everyone knows. When I was much younger, I loved being involved in Tae Kwon Do, but physically not able to do anymore. I wouldn't hesitate to draw and shoot if, in my mind, I was justified. A jury may not see it my way, but that's the way things are these days.
Straight to blaze ops! Put another 30sec on the clock.
@@stubeast4031 It is nuanced, I was just curious about your thoughts. It’s actually refreshing to see someone not jump to some John Wick type talk.
I look at my father who can be killed by a single strike to the head due to a brain surgery. He’s a combat vet, that’s what caused the surgery. I’m sure he’d love to give it a good scrap, but he can’t. I feel that all it should take is the moment someone gets physical in his situation to by rights fire away. Whether a judge and jury would see it the same as me, you, or him, as you implied, is a whole different story.
Blauer is an old school JKD/Concepts guy. Student of Guro Inosanto I believe. These concepts are universal and applicable regardless of what you train in.
I like this guy, just the right amount of no bs and crazy
I've been learning so much from you, Tony and Tim. Thank you so much as it has changed my whole family's philosophy towards interacting with people and bringing the quickest, safest and most effective end to unpleasant encounters.
Tony Blauer is awesome! Keep studying his method.
Always quick to give credit where it's due. Character of a good man indeed. The spear or frame has been long utilized by a number of combatives systems through time, and one of the main benefits for me, is that strike to the brachial/vegas nerve cluster in the side of the neck. If you're sparring, please be kind to your partners. It's a good way to give them a temporary memory lapse 😜
Right on Pat, the Spear is the business. Simple, instinctive and effective. Tony Blauer is a great dude as well
Always something useful coming from this gentleman. Thank you Pat Mac! You freaking rock!
2-1/2 minutes of priceless advice!
I feel like the feeling I get when I watch a Pat Mac video is the same feeling my frinds get when they come over. I always got some thing I gotta tell them about and demonstrate, and Dope music is indefinitely in the background.
Very valuable video! I find that boxing also builds a great foundation for good balance & footwork, especially lateral footwork. With my limited time in the ring and seeing street fight footage, people tend to come in a straight line, so being able to maneuver to get off the centerline and not trip over your own feet while throwing strikes is valuable.
I could do that. Thanks!
I have so much arthritis in my hands I couldn’t throw a punch and cause as much pain as I would experience myself!
My only criticism is that "you don't need to condition bone" - try telling that to my shins when I started Muay Thai.
In Chinese Boxing we call those things, "Tsun Kwan" (launch) and "Body state" (fingers extended). Good stuff!
I love that dudes I follow and learn from, follow and learn from each other.
I like this. Left elbow jab to the sternum immediately followed up with a right cross.
Love these street vids
It’s so awesome that you have your shiny truck in the background. Really adds to the content. 😎
#2…) Spear, head butt, dirty boxing, knee, clinch… stay off the ground and always get off first, don’t wait to get drilled.
#1) Avoid physical confrontations.
yes, almost everybody has a weapon on them now. avoiding is key.
I like how he got into more nuanced aspects of striking. Cool video.
Violence of action and quick boxing skills can be the quick ender
Great quick word!
Awesome machine-head song in the back
I hear some good old Fear Factory - Replica in the background... Excellent taste in music and nuggets of gold being shared, thank you!
🤘 love the spear system. no nonsense get the job done, rock on!
SPEAR System rocks. It's designed for the first 5-10 secs of a fight.
Great info in a short time.
Thanks Friend.
Pat always amazes me :) rock on!
Great tip! Thanks Pat! Btw im diggin the Coal Chamber in the background Rock on!! \m/ \m/
Man...I need to develop skills just to remember all those acronyms...!
Great info btw !!
Relevant and makes complete sense. Thank you Sir.
Classic knife hand to the collar bone followed by reverse punch, as I learned in Shotokan Karate. Nice one.
I'm old enough to remember when youth were pushing love and understanding, peace!
My how times have changed, now we're teaching how to harm and take out one another.
To be clear, I am NOT in any way suggesting this channel, that brother Pat here is spreading hate, he's actually helping people how to defend and overcome adversaries in a world gone upside down where threats of injury and aggression are everywhere.
It is a sad reality all the same.
It used to be "Give Peace A Chance" todays it's "gimme those shoes or I'll fuck you up BANG! BANG! BANG!"
God help us.
Jack ~'()'~
I like all of this technique but avoiding the fight or attack is my first line. I used to be great at appearing unflustered, confident and behaving unpredictably. As long as you dont actually provoke a response or make someone lose face its pretty reliable. Saying “ What? Were gonna fight and we aint even getting paid?” Offers a universally understood commonality for men without insulting anyone.
Great instructions , great man , patriot , a man's man of an example !!!
Love and Respect!!!
Just subbed, been watching for a few weeks before, loving the diversity, ropes, firearms, self defence , good Man stuff! Love it and keep the variety going!
great vids - thx
Well explained, thank you
Nice shine on that truck 😎
I remember being taught this at the US Army CIV police academy back in 2010. Our main USD was a combination of the SPEAR system and the MACH system. Very good systems but like all USD needs to be repetitive to work.
Just as I was about to relax for the evening lol
Amazing! Total self defense in well under 3 minutes!
Great stuff. Thank you
Had a few of his classes. Love your channel sir!
I remember Tony coming by. Good stuff
You can also use that stance for an eye and throat gouge simultaneously
Works great. Used TB system many times in the past.
Wake up early for fight tips!!!!
2:17 is pure gold
Thanks Pat! That Tundra tho!🤙🏼🇺🇸💪🏼
Great tip!
You don't want to mess with Dr. Pain.
You'll get a physical you're never going to forget.
Good one Pat Mac !!!!!
I can so see Pat acting "scared" right before he rips someone out of the frame. ;D
How fast he transitions from non aggressive to hammer time is scary. You are going to get seriously hurt in a very short frame of time. ;D
Great move, follow it up with a right elbow
Open hand strikes are generally very effective, be it shuto or knife hands, or palm heels, heel palms... all good shit
I've got the same black truck ! Good taste 👌
Good stuff, the format and principle can be used several ways very effectively-- target that face and head, eyes and throat. I hear that Type O and Coal Chamber in the background haha, hellyeah brother stay metal!
Pat Mac is a badass real cool vid ,, love what he told joe Rogan,,, every year he goes for a force march for miles and has to face the cold the fear and hunger ,, love it bro working the primal ,,,,
Well done video and good advice. Well Done! I'm subscribing.
Brilliant, similar to the cover and crash principle taught by Lee Morrison.
Great channel. Glad I found it.
Love the vids!!!... keep em comin Pat!
wicked. I'm lovin these short hand to hand videos
Ive used this quite a few times, rise up with your shell clearing the threat from your immediate space then following up immediately with straight blasts. Furious Overhand rights bury assailants. No matter the size.
