The only thing i dont like in this video is knife defence with control, it just wont work with a desperate agresor, you should think about other solutions
Kicking defense is not very good ... They should change their moves to more Muay Thai that has deflections and parries and holds. Blocking a kick with your forearm could result in a broken ARM
Hi David, thanks for your input. To address what you're saying I would agree. Hands Vs. Feet is not a favorable situation! However... in this video they are demoing curriculum that is build of on natural reaction which in this case is hands going down to counter a kick. So if we do this, how do make this reactions better? That is how this defense is formed, by redirecting the foot instead of trying to stop it directly, moving out of the channel, and counter attacking. Since we teach situational defenses, we have to address the "not ready" possibilities. If we are more ready and can better understand the threat, then using Feet vs Feet would be more ideal, which is covered in level 4. This video is level 1-3 of the KMG curriculum.
Sweet video. So many techniques there. I might need to try a class out.
I have the KMG Prac DVD's but this is an excellent collage of techniques to use as a refresher. Thanks
You're very welcome :)
The light is shitty at some times especially when is directly into the camera but atleast you got the moves many times from different angles
Sorry about that! It was more for effect then anything else :)
Very useful. Well made. Thanks!
Excellent!

Yes but if he got kicked in the nuts, he'd be down and out in a second. Nobody ever demonstrates a block to stop being kicked in the nuts.
