Oh, My God This Video Is OutstAnding I Will Practice This Every Day. I Am A 72 Year Old Woman Over The Last 30 Years 2 Different Men Had Their Hands Around My Throat By The Grace Of God They Did Not Kill Me. Thank You Sir For This Video.
Thanks Matt. I’ve been in LE for 35 years ,and the moves you share are helpful and can and should become instinctual with practice. I also really appreciate the short stick information. Thanks 🙏.
I really enjoy and respect your teachings. You have a very good manner that makes it easy to understand the difference between "self defense" and "martial arts" I studied several styles and taught self defense to families, women, and children while serving in the Navy for 30 years. It is very fulfilling to enlighten those who think they can not protect themselves or their loved ones. Keep up the great work. I will continue to watch.
Finally! I knew this but it was refreshing to see someone that knows what he's talking about. A realistic approach. I'm Italian-American. I grew up on the streets of NJ. (In and around Newark). I did A LOT of damage to people that were attacking me with elbow strikes. Broke a lot of people's collarbones and noses in those years.
Thank you for this! Also, NEVER STOP ACKNOWLEDGING PEOPLE IN THE LIVE CHAT! That's one of the cool things about your channel, its literally like walking into a class.
I really like the first one, using your core and driving your elbow through. I'm new to your channel and really enjoy all your training tips. Originally the staff caught my attention, that is one of the things the military taught when we did hand to hand combat fighting. Great refresher, my goal is to teach these basic moves to the elderly and to single people who could be targets. Thanks for sharing your experience! Cheers
Hi Matt, glad you are showing these ultimate fighting tools. Sorry i just caught the end of class. When i practice the different elbow strikes, i always make a fist. As you know, it tightens the forearm muscles and wrists adding that additional power, and less prone to injury. God bless and stay safe. Doud.
Found your video while I was looking for new bo strike combinations and I just had to watch it. It's a very good video and you explain it extremely well so I sent it to my 13 year old daughter too. Great video. Thanks.
I have on multiple occasions used an arm wrap in conjunction with an elbow for an attacker from behind that has their hands on you. Basically doing the same motion you shows for the reverse elbow strike. Only wrapping you arm around his to lock it in. Then striking with the opposite elbow for the take down. If their arm irlr arms are under your control. They can't avoid the other elbow coming in. Fight over.
Hello matt. My favorite elbow stikes is horizontal and that what is going up. That what goes to the stomach. You know maybe :) but i like all but theese are my favorite :) thanks for lessons
Elbows are definitely proven finishers. I used to bounce and had to use elbow # 2 (vertical elbow) once & that was all it took to knock out a guy that tried to hit me with a beer bottle. Good video with practical self defense techniques. Please keep posting. 🥋😎🤙🏾✌🏾
Thank you for your direct practical approach to stop serious attacks by dangerous street people, or those who just are looking to make life miserable for others. All your moves are easy to practice for a person to use common sense in an emergency.
I liked looking at you. You are so natural. The elbow and bodyweight gives so much power. A lot of people don't know this, because it's not allowed in sports. But this is self-defence. I am not strong at all, but I'm tall and 200 pounds. One must use what he has.
Thank you for emphasizing that you need to have options for self defense. Most martial art have existed for hundreds of years because they work. We have to learn to adapt them to real world situations.
Love that great video I love the elbows very effective both defensive and offensive at the same time you cover the space and smother your attacker loved it
Bad ass training video! In the real word elbows are so powerful when done correctly the odds that your attacker will be taking a long nap.The other reason I love to teach elbow strikes is it only takes a short time to master.
Actually, 'Daniel,' that is an excellent addition to the "Horizontal' elbow strike! For all you who are not well trained in the use of Elbow strikes--- That horizontal, at least for me, is the most reli- able, and effective...also, EASIEST to apply; And you put your- self in good position for that follow-up 'Backfist.'
@@sgtrock6213 And may I add--- When your're in that horizontal position, you're only giving your opponent a "SIDE--VIEW" of your body, as opposed to "Frontal.' From there one can also employ a short, quick side 'Thrust kick." Always try to give your opponent/attacker, a smaller target.
I don’t know about BJJ, but in JJJ and Judo most throws and grapples against punches are set up by closing the distance with an elbow covering your head. Thank you for your video! 👍
Yes. You are right. The right question to ask is what targets can you remove or destroy for self defense. If you can’t hit a certain target, go for a better one. Thanks!
YES-- now THAT is good stuff----after 40 years-- I use elbow strikes- palm heel strikes (never punch- bones too soft now), and various VICIOUS techniques that WORK every time.. and I do mean damn near EVERY TIME. I have studied lots of other arts besides the 5 I have high ranking black belts in- and I get what WORKS and add it to mine. Elbows, KNEES, break ankles and foundations, go for the WEAK spots QUICKLY-- I specialize in PUTTING THE ADVERSARY DOWN- and doing it FAST. (never really a "fight" to it- just me doing the put down) in 40 years- and 1000 Transactions (I call them that because someone always pays) I have only TWO losses..
I like no. 4 bringing it down because i'm tall and skinny, also the elbow and extending of the arm when someone is behind you. Can you do a video on self defense against mean kicks? I once had to fight someone who used kempo in the streets and i couldn't block his incoming legs, after 3 of those kicks i could barely walk and I had to escape into a crowd and buy a can of energy drink to bash with, then he left anyway luckily
I love elbow strikes. It. comes naturally. Subbed and liked! 🙂👍👍👍.I'm too old to fight but I still train, iron horse stance, kata, wing chun blocks and strikes, the passive gaurd I learnt in jiu jitsu. Can you show some core strength exercises? For us old farts! Lol Subbed and liked. ❤. ( follow through) so many people stop short. I keep saying: strike through the opponent! Cheers from Australia
Elbow strikes are lethal. Second hardest bones in the human body. I once knocked a guy senseless as I was leaving a train. All I did was swing my holdall up onto my shoulder, and this poor guy got in the way. I felt really bad for him, as he was doubled over on the platform. So that was a careless accident. Imagine doing it for real.
I would skip #4 the vertical downward strike and substitute the inverse of #3 an upward crossbody. the downward would be harder to pull off if you're a smaller person and Brock Lesner has about 10 inches and 200 pounds on me so the downward isn't going to work.
Could be. I always felt the opposite is true. I test it a lot and I think it may really come down to how we define a pushing or pulling strike. Like are you pushing with your shoulders as you are pulling with the hips - during a strike through the transverse plane? So is it a push or pull? Or are you pushing with the right hand as you pull with the left, like in a sword strike? Not being a physicist, I stay open to the idea that I might not be thinking about it correctly.

Well presented and described brother 👌
Thank you Gary!
Thank you so much. Your moves are direct and simple. There are no complicated choreographed moves that don’t work in a real fight.
Thank you. I appreciate that very much.
Scary if you follow through. Shotocan based.

When I worked the Doors back in late 90s early 00s #1 Was my most common Strike, Great against Drunks throwing haymakers :)
@@bremnersghost948 bouncers are cowards
Every time you put out a video, I relax and feel happy! I always learn, or am reminded of something I needed to remember and work hard in my training.
Thanks Jean! I really appreciate that!
Thanks for your self defense but it very important how brave you are and how much courage do you have
Yes. You are right. You can also improve your bravery and courage with training. Thank you!
Hi ! MATT YOUR THE BEST INSTRUCTOR IVE BEEN EXPERIENCE FOR.THAT
FOR.THE BAD PEOPLE
Wow. Thanks Alfred!
The putting on the helmet elbow is a very sneaky strike, its my favorite. :)
You hit all the points!
Back up mass, torque and marriage of gravity! Great tutorial!
Your teaching method is great. Taking the time to explain while demonstrating is great and is how good technique
Thank you Matt!
@@pasquinilli
Your welcome Matt 😏👍
Solid info man, thank you for decimating and propagating it.
Love it. Thanks!
Only caught the last 30 sec. live. Thanks again for the great info. I learned 4 new elbow strikes today. Look out heavy bag, I'm comin'.
Hi Matt, glad you are showing these ultimate fighting tools. Sorry i just caught the end of class. When i practice the different elbow strikes, i always make a fist. As you know, it tightens the forearm muscles and wrists adding that additional power, and less prone to injury. God bless and stay safe. Doud.

Also when making a fist & bending your fist so it comes closer to your elbow really tightens the forearm muscles even more!
Matt Thank you

Yep. That will work.
Great video as always. Could you cover different head blocks/parry’s along with hand strikes.

Hello Elbrus!
Great stuff, elbow really underrated strikes, like a hammer when connected
Excellent advice, just subbed thank you Matt. 👍

Real talk pays off Thanks 💥
Excellent video. Well done. I had to subscribe.

Thanks David. I hope so too!
really good stuff! just joined at the $5 level. thanks for the great tutorials
Thank you very much for that and welcome!
i love your style
Hey Matt thank you for your five elbow lesson...love them all...also mixing horizontal elbows with back fist follow up strikes....keep up good work...
Thank you Daniel for all of your kindness and support!

Elbow strikes--- That horizontal, at least for me, is the most reli-

Great energy, and techniques :)
New to your channel and lots to look at and learn thank you.

Doesn't height effect where your hits go? I'm 5,8. Angle will effect your power.
Yes. You are right. The right question to ask is what targets can you remove or destroy for self defense. If you can’t hit a certain target, go for a better one. Thanks!
Brilliant 🥊
Thanks Mark!
Great stuff thanks
During the 60's 70's and 80's there were not many masters around...after the internet came along every second person is a master...
Wow. That’s a lot! Hahaha
Upper cut elbow
Hi every time I see one of your videos you are driving me on, Chris uk
Thank you Chris. I am glad to have you training with me!
Great video Bravo!
Great job
Thanks the good advice. We don’t know what is ahead of us. They are crazy people out there. May god’s protect everyone.
Thank you Jean-Richard! It is wise to pray for God’s protection and peace!

Yes! Strong Kyokushin! Thank you!
I do the ol', "Hey, your shoe laces are untied."
Haha. That works sometimes. I say “hey, you dropped your pocket.”
YES-- now THAT is good stuff----after 40 years-- I use elbow strikes- palm heel strikes (never punch- bones too soft now), and various VICIOUS techniques that WORK every time.. and I do mean damn near EVERY TIME.

Can you design a program on the oculus?
Hi Matt, Bruce from Mckinney ,Tx.
Hi Bruce! Thanks for being here!
Hello from Montreal, thank you very helpful will practice constantly...lol
Some of the worst beatings in the early UFC years were with elbow strikes.
I like no. 4 bringing it down because i'm tall and skinny, also the elbow and extending of the arm when someone is behind you.

Sir what block in taekwando can we use to block elbows ?
Like the five strikes!
Thanks! Everyone in America is thankful to you ❤. MAGA.ZINE .
Thank you for this generous gift!

Hope your hand will withstand Van Dam round house kick Nice.
Hahaha. It would! I hope van dam will withstand my round kick!
you are absolutely righ about using your entire body and transferring momentum but this takes a while to learn.
I would skip #4 the vertical downward strike and substitute the inverse of #3 an upward crossbody. the downward would be harder to pull off if you're a smaller person and Brock Lesner has about 10 inches and 200 pounds on me so the downward isn't going to work.
True. You have to use what works for you. Thanks!
Oh my man! Dtr 15 alivia new follower!!
Thank you!
Strike in a push motion is much stronger than a pulling motion strike, in my humble opinion. The only excpetion may be if its an elbow strike.
Could be. I always felt the opposite is true. I test it a lot and I think it may really come down to how we define a pushing or pulling strike. Like are you pushing with your shoulders as you are pulling with the hips - during a strike through the transverse plane? So is it a push or pull?
