You are actually hitting the barowreceptors on the internal carotid near the bifurcation of the carotid that causes the effect. The barowreceptors control blood pressure and by suddenly stimulating them with a strike the vagus gets activated and slows the heart dramatically, blood pressure plummets and person falls unconscious. Risk is prolonged asystole and death. Usually the heart is slow for a few minutes then speeds up and person regains consciousness. This effect could also happen in strangulation, as well as the explained mechanical effect of partially blocking the blood supply between head and rest of body. Mechanical obstruction doesn't happen with strike as its too fast. Internal carotid is at the side but towards the middle, just under chin at side of trachea. Another reason to keep your chin down. Also that was his external jugular vein on the side of his neck you showed, not the carotid which is mostly under the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
Think ufc in 1991 proved that all this bullshit doesn’t work,ridiculous stuff,get in there and do it against a top kickboxer or boxer Mma guy,and if it worked then can believe,but we all know it woudnt work and be knocked unconscious yourself that’s the truth
metal_ak4 so Mma boxers kickboxers don’t go on the streets then no ????,and they have never been in a street fight no ????,you train with too martial artists so if your moves work on them it will be 100 times easier against a bum that can’t fight to save he’s life,when you get in a street fight you don’t know who that person is or what level fighting he is let alone weight classes weapons multiple mates lol,and by the way you do realise trained fighters can also fight dirty to as there no rules
The problem with this is that its a LOT easier when someone is just standing there, NO adrenal dump and ZERO aggression.. I have dropped many guys with one shot and others it took many.. Never TRAIN with a one shot mentality... Its a hell of lot different out there in the TAR Arena than in the dojo... With that said, nothing is more successful more times than pre-emption!
+Billy Brown Yeah it's definitely not safe to train with a one shot mentality, but to be fair punches to the face and head are standard practice in most martial arts and in this case the neck is easier to hit than the head as it's directly connected to the body and doesn't have free movement.
Yep...same method used in 007 James Bond movies. Been a practitioner my whole life and i love your instructions. You do not mess around and your knowledge is vast. Save a micro second when your hand is on their arm after a block and instead of flipping hand over for strike,immediately strike with hand in palm down position using your tucked thumb side of hand. In a real fight,every second counts,of course,so even if i miss when i swing, as i draw back my arm,i try to strike on the way back. Every strike in one direction,has the possibility of a second strike,or diversion strike on the way back. Kind of like a bullet that when it misses you,it immediately comes back from behind. Does not always work,but NOTHING always works.
A while back I watched a video of some pimp(no joke) he was a pimp lol was approaching a karate instructor as they were hanging outside chatting with students and as the aggressor came up to him he did the ridge hand to the side of the neck and he went down like a sack of potatoes he tried to get up but it was like he was intoxicated yeah this technique really works!
First off I know I'm not the baddest mofo walking but I am trained. Taught by my father who taught hand to hand combat in the military, boxing coach, wrestling coach etc. This channel is by far the most on point combat info.
Great video as usual, but I had one technical correction to add. The technique does not work by restricting the blood flow to the brain. There are additional large arteries that provide sufficient blood flow to the brain to maintain consciousness. The Carotid Restraint and strike works because it activates the Carotid Sinus, which monitors blood pressure in the artery. The compression from a squeeze or strike is read by the Sinus as a dangerous increase in blood pressure and in order to protect the body it dilates the blood vessel and shuts down non essential functions including consciousness. It basicilly makes you faint. As a former Law Enforcement Defensive Tactics trainer the Carotid Restraint was always under attack as a law enforcement tool by anti-police organizations as a choking technique that restricted blood flow to the brain. The inaccurate description of how these very effective techniques work is why they are currently banned by most police departments that don't have the will or desire to fight back and protect law enforcements use of these tools. For more information see: Dr. John Pi, Bilateral Vascular Restraint, Facts and Myths, Survival Sciences,LLC
I love your presentations ! I possess a black belt in Okinawan karate and have studied for 25 years .Your demonstrations are direct and easy to follow ! Keep up the great work !
What’s highlighted at 1:03 is the external jugular vein. Compressing it with a rear naked choke allows for a pressure buildup in the brain which will lead to unconsciousness after several seconds. Carotids are closer to the center of the neck, under the jaw line. There’s a bulb at the carotid bifurcation (into external and internal carotid arteries) which can be massaged to drop someone’s heart rate; hit that, and a neurological signal is sent to the heart to slow the heart rate, which if done while the target person is engaged in aerobic activity will lead someone to pass out. Hitting the jugular vein with a strike will neither change intracranial pressure or heart rate. I’m a martial artist (aikidoka) and an internal medicine physician.
Thank you Sifu Mark for this excellent knock out technique as well as a great explanation as to how and why it works. Awesome vid, thank you again! Peace.
I love using the rear naked choke, I've used it a decent amount of times while working security at bars and events. It's the best tool that I received while training in Brazilian jiu jitsu for the short time that I trained, and I hold it dear to my heart. I appreciate this video, because it uses the same concept, but it's applied by the use of strikes. I like the science of fighting, because no matter how tough an opponents head might be, it's going to shut down without being supplied with blood and oxygen. Fight sciences approach the human anatomy the same way that a mechanic disassembles an engine step by step. It doesn't even seem violent sometimes.
I 've knocked out a fair share of opponents by the jaw. I find that reliable, but you are right I have also damaged my hands doing this, breaking my knuckles twice. I am not sure I will have the presence of mind to try the chop, but also I have never seen a chop knock out in a real fight, little bit skeptical. I enjoy your videos.
He claims that the strike cuts off blood flow but I think that the target is actually the Brachial nerves. The blood isn't cut off long enough to cause someone to pass out but a knife hand strike may. The military & law enforcement has training where the same strike is used to stun someone.
I wish I could ever get a chance to personally trained by you, I'm in so need.. But it's my personal situation that I cannot. I find your videos and explainations so helpful. You are bringing positive change. Thankyou so much.👍🏼🙏🏼
Love your channel Sifu. More than just restricting the blood flow you’ve actually got special receptors in the carotid artery (baroreceptors) which when stimulated slow your heart rate and drop your blood pressure. I suspect this is a large part of the mechanism. (Medical Dr and Wing Chun beginner).
That's about all you need to do. thanks for bringing back old school. Don't forget the old chop to the collarbone or double chop to the collarbone. there is also a technique of 2 knife hands simultaneously to either side, one slightly higher than the other. Keep your hands tight in front of you, work instantly off a block. Continuous flow. Don't stop until it's over.
I have to say that I have always been impressed by the videos you have been putting out. I prefer to use open hand strikes for defense in most cases because you minimize the risk to breaking your hands. The open hand also tends to spread out the effects of the strikes. Keep these videos coming!
I'm pretty sure a choke hold keeps the co2 from leaving your head making you pass out not keeping blood from going to the brain too. Not sure how a strike would do that without killing them🤔
@@skullair52 this technique wouldn't cause one to lose consciousness by O2 deprivation or CO2 retention, but rather by vagus nerve pressure(vagal response).
Wow, 3 minutes of instructional video and I fill confident enough to take a walk through downtown Atlanta tonight, what could go wrong, it worked on that guy
Hi Mark. I really enjoy your reality-based videos and often share them with students. Keep it up. I have experienced the effect of the carotid strike first hand and I dropped. I would add that it is not just the restriction of blood flow but also the effect the strike has on the vagus nerve. Question though. I watched your video "bodybuilders vs skinny" and it got me thinking about how effective a carotid strike would be against a someone with exceptionally well developed sternocleidomastoid muscles?
With all due respect, Sifu, I would like to nitpick. ;-) Your description of the mechanism of the effects of a carotid sinus strike is not exactly correct, in that the mechanism is slightly different from a blood strangle "choke", as the blood supply IS interrupted but it is mainly NOT via the same restriction preventing blood flow in the carotids. The KO effect in fact comes from 1 or both of 2, TWO, mechanisms: sudden compression near the baroreceptors [pressure detectors] in the carotids, making them send a signal to the brain that there is dangerously high blood pressure which then triggers the fainting response by the brain to get blood pressure down fast AND/OR disruption of the vagus nerve which regulates the heartbeat rate, causing a stutter in the heartbeat. Both cause a drop in blood supply and a nervous collapse. Naturally a carotid strike can restrict the blood flow directly but the effect is so quick as to be minor, unless the artery does not open up again.* Perhaps insignificant a point as the effects are usually the same, but it does mean one can get a stun from a simple push into the carotid sinus, and a strike is instant and does not require the same continued pressure as a strangle [or as the BJJ people now call them, a "choke"]. The stun effect can take a second or more to really kick in, unlike a concussion KO, which is a disadvantage but they are usually still incapacitated to a degree before then. as you know. You are going to hate me! I have not finished! You note that doubling up, alternating opposing side carotid strikes, is very effective, which is true and good teaching, but, again, I don't think the real reason is entirely as you state, like compressing both sides in a choke. My dim mak teacher said that it is a nervous and/or chi effect, neural shock from opposing sides of the body, that works synergistically, not per se to do with having both carotids' blood flow interrupted, though of course it would seem on a double carotid strike that would help with a stun so I guess it is a bit of both. One can get the same synergy from other parts of the body [e.g.arm and opposing side neck, leg and opposing side arm etc.]. *This can happen after a strangle/choke too which obviously could be fatal... RNC's have killed people after they were released. Of course, while the carotid attack avoids the dangers, you rightly note, of hitting the jaw it has dangers of its own, not least the risk of brain damage when they fall KOd onto concrete, not to mention the risk of a stroke or even major haemorrage or a heart attack from disruption to the vagus nerve. It is not the safest of techniques!
Thank you, of course you are welcome to nit pick. I'm aware of the effect of the Vagus nerve, I thought a more simplistic explaintion was appropriate for this video and time allowed. While there is a risk of a major haemorrage or heart attack, these risks are likely increased in relation to the age, physical fitness, and health of the person being struck. There is an equal risk of stroke from being choked. In this view, applying such a strike to a middle age obese gentlemen with health problems is likely to carry a higher risk than a younger fitter attacker. In which case, the comparrison of safety is relative and context specific. Having said that your points will duely be noted by all reading out comment section, so thank you for adding. Thank you :-)
Been following him for years now, and this man is unmatched, that smile is like the sunshine after then storm that just hit that dude standing in front. amazing
That's cool but please know that overconfidence can get you into deep water if its not earned. Many self defense techniques are shit. Take a martial art or two of some sort unless that's what you mean by self defense.
Unless you're on some sort of military operation, it sounds kind of cowardly to me. Sneaking up behind somebody to coldcock a person that's (I assume) is unaware of your presence and intent? I dunno man. If you're gonna go, go straight up. Square off, he knows, you know... Besides, why would you even want to do that at all? Actual combat should be the last resort. If it isn't, you're risking injury to yourself, possibly MORE injury to your opponent that you intended (such as him dropping and slamming his head and dying or serious, life altering brain injury) resulting in a criminal trial for yourself. I happens. I know this personally. And for what? To be a "tough guy". Dropping a guy that didn't even know what was coming up behind him doesn't make you a tough guy. It makes you "an aggressive coward". Square off, make yourself known. Make it known you're deadly serious. Give the other guy a chance to walk away. Of course, if the opponent is the aggressor, than all rules no longer apply. If you're fighting for your life and/or the life of a loved one or someone that's being attacked simply for being weaker, than yeah, by all means, do what you gotta do. Bottom line: Use your head. With great power comes great responsibility. Use that power when in the wrong and more often than not, you WILL be held responsible.
I really love the fact that you are like me in that regard. People in general is taking everything too seriously in life, forgetting what fun really is. Thanks for your response and have a great day yourself! :)
I had decided to give the link for your channel to my son after watching several of your videos. There is so much rubbish online but I see a lot of what I found effect included in what you advise. When I use to train, I have always found it interesting how many people drop their guard or don't think to guard their neck and collarbone, the area I used to stop an attack on me when I was 20 years old by some bloke who mistook me for someone else and decided to gay bash me. These techniques are effective. I think I broke his collarbone though when I used the side of my open hand.
This brings back memories of a fight I had as a schoolboy. I had been bullied quite alot and had been beaten up about 10 times. Cuts, bruises and nose busts etc. Got scarring on eyes now. Anyway I bought several martial arts books and learnt this but didn't realise or comprehend how dangerous it was.
I was taught this in the police academy. It was called a brachial stun. The instructors told us that there are lots of nerves in that area, hence the stun. Nothing about striking the carotid.
There are a number of factors to consider. Firstly the age and health of the person being struck. If they are young and fit, then they are likely to have a higher tolerance to a knockout strike to the neck. Reverse is likely for someone unfit or old. A medic on our team does advise that repeated striking of the sternum clavicle mastoid muscle may lead to swelling that could be fatal if repeatedly struck. Of course this is extremely excessive and difficult to defend as reasonable force in a court of law. Thank you for watching.
+Charlie Tate A blow to the side of the neck killed this guy. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2962290/Soccer-player-killed-referee-single-punch-pleads-guilty-manslaughter-faces-15-years-prison.html "The medical examiner determined the cause of death to be blunt impact to the left side of the man's neck and ruled the killing a homicide. Bieniewicz, 44, left behind his wife and two young sons." I read somewhere else that the autopsy showed his arteries were torn.
Fight SCIENCE i understand your expertise and i am no expert. But i will say that the moves you are teaching only block those arteries for fractions of a second. As i understand, the sciatic nerve is a target for a knockout. As in this video you target an artery.
This doesn't explain proper technique for the Shuto knife hand, just one place to strike with it. Anyone who uses this without conditioning and strike training is more likely to fail. Proper form of the Shuto should make all the muscles in the forearm flex making the hand and forearm into a single edge. The small finger of the hand should be pushing outward slightly with the rest of the fingers pushing onto the small finger. The index finger should be slightly bent and the thumb pushing against the index knuckle. The knife hand should be conditioned by repeatedly striking a hard flat surface 5 times daily to start for the rest of your life. This is the iconic karate chop.
Alot like Kenpo techniques I learned a long time ago. Multiple strikes. Very fast... not looking for the big knock out punch...moving around and in. Cool video. Thanks. ..
Thank you I'm just a young grass hopper trying not to severely hurt somebody I'm kind of a pacifist but still believe just walking away from an encounter won't always end well .
I believe that EVERYONE sould learn how to knock someone out without hurting them. You don't wanna kill people . You wanna incapacitate them without causing too much damage. Thank you for this video, man. As long as I don't hurt or cripple the person offending me or loved ones, I'll sleep fine.
Good stuff! The whole neck is a great and overlooked target - a good strike anywhere, including the jaw just below the ear, the neck in general, down to the trapezius, is very painful, and shocking to the recipient - chops are best, but a fist works too. Then there's the back of the neck (aka rabbit punch), onto the front of the neck, aka the throat... Not good for sparring of course, but superb against an assault. Great videos!
You actually sound like you know about fighting. Most of these people on here saying rude shit I bet you they aren't over the age of 27. The reason I say this is because back when I was in school biology and anatomy was a required course in science. When I was in the military they thought us ways to extract info from the enemy with a spoon to the eye. A lot of people think if you pop someone's eye out that it will hit the ground. The eye is connected by a nerve that will cause it to hang. That nerve is connected to other nerves that's in the human body so you will not just will have a problem with a eye you will have a problem some were else.
I like the level change. Obviously the strike to the carotid artery and/or throat will be effective. However, I think body shots are often underrated and have the benefit of being fist friendly.
Thank you. Your channel is excellent but on this occasion I think I may have something to offer. Completely agree that neck strikes (from any angle) are highly effective and can certainly result in a knock out, However, I have two comments: 1. The knock out does not result from the strike to the carotid artery causing a reduced flow of of arterial oxygenated blood to the brain because of its momentary effect. Pressure resulting from a choke (particularly affecting both carotid arteries simultaneously will certainly cause a prolonged reduction in blood food to the brain) will certainly result in unconsciousness but a momentary reduction in carotid blood flow resulting from a strike (particularly to one of the carotid arteries will not. I have pondered over this for a long time time and i am of the opinion that the knockout resulting from a neck strike results from the energy of the concussion to the cervical spinal cord being transmitted upwards to the brain stem. I am saying that the technique is high;y effective but that the underlying patho-physiology of the resulting knock out has a different has a different mechanism. 2. Neck strikes are profoundly lethal and can result in death really because of the possibility of medium term term damage to the carotid artery and other vital structures in the neck. If you are ready to use a well executed neck strike, then be prepared for the possible consequences which may include a man slaughter conviction. I am a senior doctor dealing with trauma and a low level martial artists which I hope gives me the credibility to make this comment. I hope this is useful and not perceived as critical. ATVB.
You can't speak English but you can only sit like a ugly bitch behind your computer screen your doing great Im feeling sorry for people like you that are broke.
I think this one goes in the category "easier said than done". Good first move if he's cocky and not expecting it. But you're definitely throwing the first and only punch in the fight.

As a third degree black belt in Karate "Empty Hand" this is one of favorite techniques because it is simple and works.
Elbows are EXTREMELY underestimated in close fights.
Very educational.
Thank you sir.
hi, what do you mean when you say "in my experience"? did you use it many tines in real fights?
It's a cop out. So that way when people call bullshit he can say, "not it my experience."
Not in a single fight. Try this in a fight and let us know how long you will be in hospital.
@@tombrady3086 lol
I am amazed by what I have been missing by not knowing about this channel
1:02 - That's actually the jugular vein. Close enough, though, since the carotid artery is right underneath it.
I'm pretty sure a choke hold keeps the co2 from leaving your head making you pass out not keeping blood from going to the brain too. Not sure how a strike would do that without killing them🤔
@@skullair52 this technique wouldn't cause one to lose consciousness by O2 deprivation or CO2 retention, but rather by vagus nerve pressure(vagal response).
Wow, 3 minutes of instructional video and I fill confident enough to take a walk through downtown Atlanta tonight, what could go wrong, it worked on that guy
Hi Mark. I really enjoy your reality-based videos and often share them with students. Keep it up. I have experienced the effect of the carotid strike first hand and I dropped. I would add that it is not just the restriction of blood flow but also the effect the strike has on the vagus nerve. Question though. I watched your video "bodybuilders vs skinny" and it got me thinking about how effective a carotid strike would be against a someone with exceptionally well developed sternocleidomastoid muscles?
Best video yet in explanation of This technique. Well defined examples. Great video mate🌍✌️
With all due respect, Sifu, I would like to nitpick. ;-)
Your description of the mechanism of the effects of a carotid sinus strike is not exactly correct, in that the mechanism is slightly different from a blood strangle "choke", as the blood supply IS interrupted but it is mainly NOT via the same restriction preventing blood flow in the carotids. The KO effect in fact comes from 1 or both of 2, TWO, mechanisms: sudden compression near the baroreceptors [pressure detectors] in the carotids, making them send a signal to the brain that there is dangerously high blood pressure which then triggers the fainting response by the brain to get blood pressure down fast AND/OR disruption of the vagus nerve which regulates the heartbeat rate, causing a stutter in the heartbeat. Both cause a drop in blood supply and a nervous collapse. Naturally a carotid strike can restrict the blood flow directly but the effect is so quick as to be minor, unless the artery does not open up again.*
Perhaps insignificant a point as the effects are usually the same, but it does mean one can get a stun from a simple push into the carotid sinus, and a strike is instant and does not require the same continued pressure as a strangle [or as the BJJ people now call them, a "choke"]. The stun effect can take a second or more to really kick in, unlike a concussion KO, which is a disadvantage but they are usually still incapacitated to a degree before then. as you know.
You are going to hate me! I have not finished! You note that doubling up, alternating opposing side carotid strikes, is very effective, which is true and good teaching, but, again, I don't think the real reason is entirely as you state, like compressing both sides in a choke. My dim mak teacher said that it is a nervous and/or chi effect, neural shock from opposing sides of the body, that works synergistically, not per se to do with having both carotids' blood flow interrupted, though of course it would seem on a double carotid strike that would help with a stun so I guess it is a bit of both. One can get the same synergy from other parts of the body [e.g.arm and opposing side neck, leg and opposing side arm etc.].
*This can happen after a strangle/choke too which obviously could be fatal... RNC's have killed people after they were released. Of course, while the carotid attack avoids the dangers, you rightly note, of hitting the jaw it has dangers of its own, not least the risk of brain damage when they fall KOd onto concrete, not to mention the risk of a stroke or even major haemorrage or a heart attack from disruption to the vagus nerve. It is not the safest of techniques!
Thank you, of course you are welcome to nit pick. I'm aware of the effect of the Vagus nerve, I thought a more simplistic explaintion was appropriate for this video and time allowed. While there is a risk of a major haemorrage or heart attack, these risks are likely increased in relation to the age, physical fitness, and health of the person being struck. There is an equal risk of stroke from being choked. In this view, applying such a strike to a middle age obese gentlemen with health problems is likely to carry a higher risk than a younger fitter attacker. In which case, the comparrison of safety is relative and context specific. Having said that your points will duely be noted by all reading out comment section, so thank you for adding. Thank you :-)

Any self-defence advice needs to be plausible, this is !
Been following him for years now, and this man is unmatched, that smile is like the sunshine after then storm that just hit that dude standing in front. amazing
Superb info and presentation. Edge of Hand is indeed a great strike.
I'm scared my mom might find this video
😂😂😂😂
That grin on your face when you explain savage strikes.
Literally the definition of a human “off” button
So glad I know how to do this. I don’t play. Self defense taught me well
That's cool but please know that overconfidence can get you into deep water if its not earned. Many self defense techniques are shit. Take a martial art or two of some sort unless that's what you mean by self defense.
What if you sneak up behind someone?
You know, “like in the movies”?
That works too, and you can also use a hammer fist.
Unless you're on some sort of military operation, it sounds kind of cowardly to me. Sneaking up behind somebody to coldcock a person that's (I assume) is unaware of your presence and intent? I dunno man. If you're gonna go, go straight up. Square off, he knows, you know... Besides, why would you even want to do that at all? Actual combat should be the last resort. If it isn't, you're risking injury to yourself, possibly MORE injury to your opponent that you intended (such as him dropping and slamming his head and dying or serious, life altering brain injury) resulting in a criminal trial for yourself. I happens. I know this personally.
And for what? To be a "tough guy". Dropping a guy that didn't even know what was coming up behind him doesn't make you a tough guy. It makes you "an aggressive coward". Square off, make yourself known. Make it known you're deadly serious. Give the other guy a chance to walk away.
Of course, if the opponent is the aggressor, than all rules no longer apply.
If you're fighting for your life and/or the life of a loved one or someone that's being attacked simply for being weaker, than yeah, by all means, do what you gotta do. Bottom line: Use your head.
With great power comes great responsibility.
Use that power when in the wrong and more often than not, you WILL be held responsible.
@@PPMOCRG Open slap to the ear can be amazingly effective as well if done hard enough.
I can use this to deal with house robber while their holding their gun looking backwards at me thanks for the tip
And as you palm strike the carotid artery, reach over and tear his ear off.
Then, that great smile.
Great videos, love the content
thank god someone speaks a bit of sense here. Good video (and i dont see a lot of good ones).
That’s why protect yourself with your guard up is vital in a fight.
that smile is always knocking me full of laughter
+Groot I hope so, you can't take your work to seriously. It's about having fun. Have a great day. ;-)
I really love the fact that you are like me in that regard. People in general is taking everything too seriously in life, forgetting what fun really is. Thanks for your response and have a great day yourself! :)
I had decided to give the link for your channel to my son after watching several of your videos. There is so much rubbish online but I see a lot of what I found effect included in what you advise.
When I use to train, I have always found it interesting how many people drop their guard or don't think to guard their neck and collarbone, the area I used to stop an attack on me when I was 20 years old by some bloke who mistook me for someone else and decided to gay bash me. These techniques are effective. I think I broke his collarbone though when I used the side of my open hand.
do I have to smile like a smack head at the end too?
Billy The Fish lmao.! I can't stop laughing and I'm at work
@@allenadams1862 Why... Are you watching this at work.........
or else it doesnt work
This brings back memories of a fight I had as a schoolboy. I had been bullied quite alot and had been beaten up about 10 times. Cuts, bruises and nose busts etc. Got scarring on eyes now. Anyway I bought several martial arts books and learnt this but didn't realise or comprehend how dangerous it was.
This never even occured to me good to know and its much easier and more comfortable thn throwing a punch.
I was taught this in the police academy. It was called a brachial stun. The instructors told us that there are lots of nerves in that area, hence the stun. Nothing about striking the carotid.
If this technique is used with let's say excessive force, could it possibly result in someone's death?
There are a number of factors to consider. Firstly the age and health of the person being struck. If they are young and fit, then they are likely to have a higher tolerance to a knockout strike to the neck. Reverse is likely for someone unfit or old. A medic on our team does advise that repeated striking of the sternum clavicle mastoid muscle may lead to swelling that could be fatal if repeatedly struck. Of course this is extremely excessive and difficult to defend as reasonable force in a court of law. Thank you for watching.
+Charlie Tate A blow to the side of the neck killed this guy.
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2962290/Soccer-player-killed-referee-single-punch-pleads-guilty-manslaughter-faces-15-years-prison.html
"The medical examiner determined the cause of death to be blunt impact to the left side of the man's neck and ruled the killing a homicide. Bieniewicz, 44, left behind his wife and two young sons."
I read somewhere else that the autopsy showed his arteries were torn.
Trailmix I had a feeling it happened at least one time. Thanks for posting.
If someone attacks you, you are allowed by law to defend yourself or others. Excessive force is when its premed like revenge ect.
Fight SCIENCE i understand your expertise and i am no expert. But i will say that the moves you are teaching only block those arteries for fractions of a second. As i understand, the sciatic nerve is a target for a knockout. As in this video you target an artery.
Stop thinking about fight but think about self defence and then it works🙌🙌🙌
This doesn't explain proper technique for the Shuto knife hand, just one place to strike with it. Anyone who uses this without conditioning and strike training is more likely to fail. Proper form of the Shuto should make all the muscles in the forearm flex making the hand and forearm into a single edge. The small finger of the hand should be pushing outward slightly with the rest of the fingers pushing onto the small finger. The index finger should be slightly bent and the thumb pushing against the index knuckle. The knife hand should be conditioned by repeatedly striking a hard flat surface 5 times daily to start for the rest of your life. This is the iconic karate chop.
Alot like Kenpo techniques I learned a long time ago.
Multiple strikes.
Very fast... not looking for the big knock out punch...moving around and in. Cool video. Thanks. ..
He has such a beautiful smile for such a deadly man xD
This stuff means nothing. You'd have to see how he does against a real resisting opponent. This is entertainment.
These are amazing videos. thank!
i try it to my self and it makes me dizzy
HARDER!
Questionator looooool
Thank you I'm just a young grass hopper trying not to severely hurt somebody I'm kind of a pacifist but still believe just walking away from an encounter won't always end well .
Sweet, my Gran has no chance now.. 👋👋
I love this guys smile. It says you screwed with the wrong dude.
I'm going drinking at the bars tonight, I'll get back to you on whether this actually works or just makes people mad
Great great info 👍..Is there Anybody who have tried this in a real fight? Please tell me? Cheers from Sweden 🇸🇪
I believe that EVERYONE sould learn how to knock someone out without hurting them.
You don't wanna kill people
.
You wanna incapacitate them without causing too much damage.
Thank you for this video, man. As long as I don't hurt or cripple the person offending me or loved ones, I'll sleep fine.
Good stuff! The whole neck is a great and overlooked target - a good strike anywhere, including the jaw just below the ear, the neck in general, down to the trapezius, is very painful, and shocking to the recipient - chops are best, but a fist works too. Then there's the back of the neck (aka rabbit punch), onto the front of the neck, aka the throat... Not good for sparring of course, but superb against an assault. Great videos!
You actually sound like you know about fighting. Most of these people on here saying rude shit I bet you they aren't over the age of 27. The reason I say this is because back when I was in school biology and anatomy was a required course in science. When I was in the military they thought us ways to extract info from the enemy with a spoon to the eye. A lot of people think if you pop someone's eye out that it will hit the ground. The eye is connected by a nerve that will cause it to hang. That nerve is connected to other nerves that's in the human body so you will not just will have a problem with a eye you will have a problem some were else.
Damn - spoon in the eye - made my day!
Great video. You keep popping up and I cannot help but watch.
I know what to do but I am afraid to get in volved. I don't want to hurt anyone!✌️
Then don't Sir. But thank you for watching. 🙏
This technique can crush air pipe if you missed it is too dangerous it could land you in the cell for life.
Better to be judged by 12 then carryed by 6. In a street fight I go for the throat and eyes with every ounce of force I have.
I love the science of this guys approach. But is there any video footgae of him really fighting and using it?
" I knocked him out " said no Wing Chun guy ever.
Oh yeh....
SO true!
Brilliant! Excellently demonstrated and explained.
my wife now knows to make my dinner on time! thank you
I like the level change. Obviously the strike to the carotid artery and/or throat will be effective. However, I think body shots are often underrated and have the benefit of being fist friendly.
I feel so bad for your partner 😭💀
Good show old chap! great channel!
i'm not shure, but i think the vagus nerve is the reason for the knockout and not the artery.... but it was a nice video anyway ;)
Thank you. Your channel is excellent but on this occasion I think I may have something to offer. Completely agree that neck strikes (from any angle) are highly effective and can certainly result in a knock out, However, I have two comments:
1. The knock out does not result from the strike to the carotid artery causing a reduced flow of of arterial oxygenated blood to the brain because of its momentary effect. Pressure resulting from a choke (particularly affecting both carotid arteries simultaneously will certainly cause a prolonged reduction in blood food to the brain) will certainly result in unconsciousness but a momentary reduction in carotid blood flow resulting from a strike (particularly to one of the carotid arteries will not. I have pondered over this for a long time time and i am of the opinion that the knockout resulting from a neck strike results from the energy of the concussion to the cervical spinal cord being transmitted upwards to the brain stem. I am saying that the technique is high;y effective but that the underlying patho-physiology of the resulting knock out has a different has a different mechanism.
2. Neck strikes are profoundly lethal and can result in death really because of the possibility of medium term term damage to the carotid artery and other vital structures in the neck. If you are ready to use a well executed neck strike, then be prepared for the possible consequences which may include a man slaughter conviction.
I am a senior doctor dealing with trauma and a low level martial artists which I hope gives me the credibility to make this comment. I hope this is useful and not perceived as critical. ATVB.
I like this a lot, makes perfect sense! Does that make it more similar to when you see a fighter drop after getting hit behind the ear?
@@joeb9986 Absolutely Joe. The same principle applies imho. ATVB.

If fixing to try to knock myself out lol
I died
Omg lmao post a video of it lol
Thanks this is really helping me to write very descriptive fight scenes.💪 Your smile is swoon-worthy by the way! 🥴
The problem is..you might kill him...this is an old samurai technique..which is prohibited to use,unless you want him dead?..
Awesome superb very nice congratulations,

You can't speak English but you can only sit like a ugly bitch behind your computer screen your doing great Im feeling sorry for people like you that are broke.
Makes sense, having years of Judo and used the cross-choke many times...a real charm. 😱
Sounds good but have you ever seen this work in a real fight?
Ascending man . He can only teach you the tools to work with. Go figure it out . ha
i did man. i was in the army, in some conflicts guys left even without knives. they need to fight with bare hands. it works.
I think this one goes in the category "easier said than done". Good first move if he's cocky and not expecting it. But you're definitely throwing the first and only punch in the fight.
