Yeah, I have had classes and he always says he is just the janitor. I still don’t believe him. Lol he is the real deal. No doubt. You ever get the chance hit him up. The whole school rocks.
I guess my oldest brother accomplished his want. I am aware of my bubble of safety 6 to 10 foot. I social distanced my whole life. He beat me to make me hard enough that I can go threw anything.
@@pandnh4 You didn't mess up though if someone has been hired to kill you or someone is stalking you, and you don't know it and they show up at some location you're at with a knife. Kind of hard to avoid every single possible situation these days. Common sense helps though if you're out on the town and so on.
@@pandnh4 People are crazy jealous these days, so by simply having something that someone else wants, they might try and wack you even though you haven't done anything. If I'm with a beautiful woman, I fully expect some psycho to try and get me iced out of jealousy :)
The black hand drill is one of the best things I've heard in a long time... Most people have to learn awareness by being on the street or on the field and having that first bad guy catch you unaware, but that seems like a great way to get your mind scanning other parts of your vision than only exactly what you're staring at
I am constantly amazed at how many people walk this Earth completely oblivious of their surroundings. To you point, shadows, reflections, who/what is the person you are talking to looking at, etc.
@@shawngraham4075 yeah I remember going thru training and slowly realizing how many things are going on just on a trip to the grocery store that 99% of people never notice. Same thing learning how to watch people's hands instead of their faces or whatever when things get tense.
the first 3 rules of knife fighting are "run", "Run", "RUN". That's the truth there. point reinforced by the "your going to be cut" line. you do not want to face off against someone unless you are forced, regardless of your training and experience. If you can withdraw, do it. If you can get behind a pillar, do that.
A pillar.... a pool table... a chair... as he said....use your environment... I would prefer buying the gentleman a beer and have the bastard cool off, but sometimes people dont understand that language...
This is the real deal. These are the techniques and maneuvers that I was taught during weapons retention and disarmament. I hope you will do a video with him dealing with two or three assailants at the same time. We had to hold our own for 1 minute with one armed and two unarmed assailants. The longest minute of your life.
@@Sheridantank My first training was USAF Airborne Recon and then I went to work for Uncle Sam as a foreign intelligence operative. I recieved some of the advanced training in SOTC, but it was not much more advanced than my spec ops hand-to-hand in the military. The most advanced was when I was transfered to a special unit (Hard Targets) and we were trained at WTC.
So, I live really close to his school, and I have considered going there in the past. I have the be honest, I’m very skeptical of him because he has like 20 black belts, and I’m just concerned that he isn’t legit. Now, I don’t have a single black belt and I’m not trying to judge. It’s just that there are a lot of frauds out there. I also tend to stay away from people who use titles like “Sifu” because they are usually full of it. Could you tell me a bit more about your experience training at his school? To be honest, I never would have even given them a second look, but was very surprised to see WPS collaborate with them, and that has me thinking I was probably wrong in my assessment.
@@dustinarmstrong7929 I do not know Mr. Baker but will comment on title of "Sifu". This at its most elementary level is used to address the instructor with respect & keep students on same page. I believe it actually means instructor but don't remember for certain (don't judge 😁). I like what he has to say & what he does in the video. I would go check him out & start training. Do research on Mr. Baker. The fact he has had Inosanto there is pretty legit IMHO.
@@nuttcrew totally agree about Inosanto! He also has a black belt under Pedro Sauer, which is also pretty legit from what I can tell. It’s really the number of black belts that concerns me. I don’t mean any disrespect or anything like that, but can one person really achieve true mastery in so many different arts? I’m very skeptical of that. As for “Sifu”, it’s a Chinese word that means “father” and is primarily used in the Chinese martial arts. No judgement at all btw, just clarifying a bit. The reason I know this is because I studied Wing Chun at a very traditional school for three years. It was a great experience, and I loved it there, but I had to leave when I became a Christian. The school was great but very centered around Buddhism. I really respect and admire my old Sifu, and he never referred to himself as “Sifu Lau Yat” you know? And I have found that people who go out of their way to make sure to include a title like this are often frauds. Just my opinion. All of that said, I agree with what you said and I am seriously looking into Mr. Baker’s school.
@@dustinarmstrong7929 I respect your concerns for fraudelent title grabbers if you will & questioning whether an individual can gain true mastery in so many belts. I simply encourage gathering some facts & trying not to be turned off by the title as we don't know for certain about Mr. Baker. Do some more digging, good luck in your searches & thanks for the dialogue. Best wishes.
“Blading” against a vertical surface was worth every second of this video! Outstanding teaching technique, and one that is almost never taught. Thank you!
This was a great perspective on self defense for someone not knowledgeable on the subject. I'm definitely going to look for training in my area to put this in my toolbox.
@Bo Kuen Tao 👍 When I was a federal agent, my hand-to-hand combat training was conducted by a multi- decorated Marine Recon vet who also used his traditional titles. We trained like this. We did not spend a whole lot (any?) of time on more popular but less productive classroom moves.
@Bosingr Because of my special assignments, I was able to receive real-world advanced training. We didn't wear any of the traditional martial arts garments. After some initial training including how to take falls, we trained in our street clothes. Shoes on and all. My trainer used to tell me every day " you can only rely on what you have with you when you are in the shower". Start with your brain then your eyes and ears before you move down to your hands, arms, legs and feet. I soon learned that I needed to change the style of clothes I was wearing and even the size I was wearing. I needed to wear a special belt. I had to seriously consider the shoes that I would wear everyday. In my line of work, I did not dress for the office I dressed to survive what happened outside of the office. I think we all know that most martial arts classes are for children or adults who are just looking for some general exercise. I teach self defense classes based on the way I was trained and my life experiences. Get this, one of the things that we teach female operatives is how to throw up on themselves. Think thtough that and you might understand. It's repulsive, it instantly transfers DNA, the odor is observable even before close contact with the suspect, everyone the assailant passes will notice the odor and perhaps the clothing. I was trained and I teach the vulnerabilities of the throat
This man really knows his stuff. "Violently occupy his space" is some of the best damn advice I've ever heard when it comes to a self-defense situation like those being modeled here. Great stuff!
Thanks for sharing any training videos from Professor Alan Baker. Simply the best martial artist I have ever trained with. Great person as well as an Instructor.
I trained in several disciplines at Atlanta Martial Arts Center. Sifu Alan's knowledge, ability to teach and humility were amazing to be around. He runs a great school, that is ego free and very welcoming.
Ahhhh, so this is the final definitive "real" video of techniques for knife fights. Here I thought the other videos saying the exact same thing were the ones. Glad this video is clearing everything up for us.
First question to a so-called "knife fighter" - "Ever been in a knife fight???" Unless you are in a corner or have a gun, I would highly suggest you employ the Richard Pryor Technique: "RUN!" if you decide you are going to be a badass and go up against someone, and oh by the way happen to survive the encounter, I can personally guarantee you that there WILL be parts of your body that aren't going to work anymore, and quite possibly parts of you that are going to be missing.
Running is also dumb tho, If your unathletic, or have weak stamina you still think you can out run your mugger. The mugger probably waiting a head of you. Plus running away would leave your back wide open and exposed for any lethal attacks, shanks or blunt trauma. Worst case scenario the criminal might be packing a gun, do you think you can out run bullets? Its better to learn some cqc, like judo, jujutsu, kali, karate, kickboxing, hapkido to at least get reflex, and know what to do a bit
Really great insight and important to see mindset is a huge equalizer in extreme situations. Would really like to see the same kind of defensive tactics that might be used by a smaller framed woman. Thanks for some really good starting points!
Sifu Alan is great at what he does and hope to see more of him in the future. His BJJ is on point along with pretty much everything else. Good call WPS!
Great stuff, i have been/is in the martial arts for moore than thirtyfive years, and i love what he explains/show, and his intent, and combat minset, that is something that a lot of instructors dont teach/have.
Battle Gnomes are hard to come by and can be costly. Might want to look into getting yourself a Trunk Monkey so you’ll always be prepared for any eventuality.
As someone who has multiple mugging attempts the one thing I have learned is to not feel bad about going for anything I can get. Neck, joints, eyes, groin, wrists, etc. I carry 2 knives on me at all times and 3 muggers learned the hard way to choose better targets when I sent them to the ICU. I'm a complete amateur but when it comes down to it I try to run and if that's not possible I go full "it's me or them".
FYI- After watching this fantastic video I used the WARPOET code they gave at the beginning of the video at Sportsman's Guide and got $20 off my order. I also bought a WPS shirt from there so it was like paying $6 for the shirt. Thanks for the code John! This is by far the best UA-cam channel out there for so many reasons.
When John attacked him with the knife it was a real world attack and this guy actually took it and gave an honest answer you’re going to get cut fact right there but first none mcdojo knife attack and defend I’ve seen in a video
Great video, Alan Baker seems to be the nicest, "ruthless destroyer," I think I've seen and heard! Very crazy emotional variation when he throws the switch!
If that was Elephant Ear that he ate, it's toxic. Fortunately you have to eat a ton (uncooked) for it to be fatal. Bruh, remedial wilderness survival training for you. 😉
I have bullet shrapnel in my sinuses. I don't know how long it's been there. Looking back during one of my adventures one time I thought I got hit in the face by gravel. Lots of time we are hurt badly and don't know till seconds, hours or years.
Great stuff / tips Warrior poet. I live in L.A., and am always alert. Ironically, I watched this yesterday, and the very same night, a guy was stabbed in the neck (and died) after an argument. It was in a "good" neighborhood, Santa Monica, California, near the beach.
I knew someone who thought they got punched, but was a punctured lung by knife. This fellow does the Keyes system which seems very useful, bouncing off walls and such. Thanks.
He left SO many lethal targets open. I was taught you have 2 options with a knife attack, run away, or stop the threat as quick and efficient as possible. I was also taught if you choose to fight your main focus is to control the weapon hand, or the arm attached to it. John had him dead well before he was able to get John to say he’s done. John made a slice to the Femoral artery, he had maybe 15-20 seconds in that situation to live, because he, from my point of view while watching this, is practically ignoring the blade.
I watched a video of a Hong Kong politician getting stabbed, and I think that there are several things you can learn from it, like how useful ribs are at stopping knives and how obvious it can be when someone is about to attack.
One of my favorite martial arts techniques is to be at home between 9PM and 8AM.
Alan strikes me as a quietly dangerous dude... Definitely have him back!!
He's like a coiled Cobra
Yeah, I have had classes and he always says he is just the janitor. I still don’t believe him. Lol he is the real deal. No doubt. You ever get the chance hit him up. The whole school rocks.
The only videos where I watch every single one from beginning to end....WPS
Same, and I don't even realize how much time has been spent until the video is over.
Can you get me out
me too haahahha
"Violently occupy his space." Perfect
That was a “hard knee below the belt” looked like haha
in other words fart in a closed room :P
Just by looking at the professer... Hes incredibly humble knowing hes dangerous.. No boasting or trying to look cool
I’ve heard it on here before. “Don’t be a target in the first place.” The dude that keeps scanning probably isn’t the easiest prey.
I guess my oldest brother accomplished his want. I am aware of my bubble of safety 6 to 10 foot. I social distanced my whole life. He beat me to make me hard enough that I can go threw anything.
Exactly this. If you're in a knife fight, you already effed up. If you're in a knife fight without escape, you REALLY effed up.
@@pandnh4 You didn't mess up though if someone has been hired to kill you or someone is stalking you, and you don't know it and they show up at some location you're at with a knife. Kind of hard to avoid every single possible situation these days.

I love the arm control, "he has to exist in the middle, which is not easy." Great tip
Plenty of edible leaves in the forest. He picks a large, photogenic non-edible one.
I bet it taste terrible too. All I can think about is the way some of them smell while weedeating
I'm not in the forest much.. but when I am its not landscaped.
Sitting next to the groomed Japanese maple. You can see the limb where it was cut off at. Some wilderness
This is the real deal. These are the techniques and maneuvers that I was taught during weapons retention and disarmament.

"How do I say I am done?" Some very awesome techniques. Thanks for presenting Alan Baker.
This was absolutely great! A dojo isn’t street fighting. Us untrained old guys love to see things like this. Great piece!
I've known Alan for a long time and his devotion to his craft is amazing!!
I love that we have people like sifu Baker in the Pedro Sauer association
“Blading” against a vertical surface was worth every second of this video! Outstanding teaching technique, and one that is almost never taught. Thank you!
I love the added "Stay Free"!

“We disarmed for safety” Something I never thought I’d hear come out of Johns mouth unironically. Lmao
Alan Baker is THE MAN!
He made a lot of really great common sense points that you dont hear very often, great video.
“When your back is against the wall, use it”
You've been spoiling us with content recently... I'm loving it!.

Its an ambush, you have failed to run its not knife fighting its defense in an ambush, rather than begging the guy to stop.
He said the first three rules are “run run and run”
You have to create an opening to run. You can't just turn tail.
Running is not always an option. You may have a child with you or an elderly person incapable of running.

Once again, great to see you do some videos with Alan Baker. Haven't seen him in quite a while but he's still getting after it!
I’d like to mention the fighting system displayed on Alan Baker’s shirt is PTK SMF. Check em out!
I love it he is working the natural neural line and teaching people to expand it.
“Kill him, Paul!” John is JAZZED when knives enter the scenario lol
Because we like to party.
Great video! Points out the gritty reality of these situations. You got to go full primal 100%! triage yourself after threats been neutralized.
He looks like he tries to "receive" peoples arms. A good dude, but a bad dude at the same time. Keep up the good work!
Really great insight and important to see mindset is a huge equalizer in extreme situations. Would really like to see the same kind of defensive tactics that might be used by a smaller framed woman. Thanks for some really good starting points!
“Take this guy down a peg” what gold.
Alan Baker is an awesome dude. Trained under Francis Fong with me. Always been super humble and amazingly skilled. Happy to see him on your show.
This guy is great. I would love to see more of Alan.
my childhood prepared me for almost everything it's never too late too learn a new skill physically or mentally
Excellent points and principles. Great video
Sifu Alan is great at what he does and hope to see more of him in the future. His BJJ is on point along with pretty much everything else. Good call WPS!
Absolutely fantastic!!! Thank you both! (And thank you John too)...
I appreciate you brother and have nothing but respect for you. Train hard train often and keep fighting the good fight. They call me bull
Dannng! Alan Baker is da man!!!
This video and presentation from Alan Baker is fantastic and so valuable! Few speak about scanning drills.
Love the videos man God bless!!
So much truth here!! I was struck my how much overlap there was between Krav Maga and what Baker had to say. 13/10 vid.
Thank you for making this video. Always mesmerized watching and training with Professor Alan Baker. Cant wait for the next one.
Bang! You made my phone flinch!
While my Sifu was teaching knife defense, I was taking knife fighting from another teacher.
Fun times!
Great info, thanks. Might want to include some of this info in your Pistol 3 class now on WPSN.
Paul is obviously a badass dude, but that shmedium shirt.....🤣
Yeah, how about YOU tell him, lol?
He's so calm and cool.You can tell the man knows his stuff.
This is good. I like the control tactics and building that framework to work from. Very Nice!
Man, imagine the regret in a potential armed robbers mind when he gets his teeth smashed in with his own pistol..
Spectacular video!
Like Mikey says, "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.
This is awesome! John is such a comedian and a teacher!

What situations are you getting yourself into where you have multiple mugging attempts under your belt? No judgement, I'm genuinely curious.
Great episode, great interview. Refreshing to see instructor who is frank about the reality that you will have to eat it a bit and fight
Fall breaks for vertical surfaces ... 🤯 🤯 🤯 knowledge bomb!
Not gonna lie, for the first 7 minutes I thought Paul was an imaginary friend

I watched a video of a Hong Kong politician getting stabbed, and I think that there are several things you can learn from it, like how useful ribs are at stopping knives and how obvious it can be when someone is about to attack.
Damn I was trying to avoid UA-cam but couldn’t find it on the network🤙🏽 C’est la vie.
Look forward to seeing more of Alan! Good stuff
Great skills to learn along with gun training. Thanks John for sharing.
Brilliant. From Ireland 🇮🇪
Excellent content. I hope to see more videos like this in the near future from WPS.
Three scary, deadly guys in a room. The one who looks the most inconsequential is likely the deadliest one.
And definitely all times situational awareness is KEY
Great vid guys. I would love a vid on geriatric self defense. Get’s tough in your 70’s. Thanks a million!
Man I miss classes and seminars. Getting old sucks.
