Well done. I'm getting weaker and older each year so in the last couple unprovoked attacks by thugs I let my revolver aimed at center mass speak for me quite eloquently but lessons noted and realize a sidearm isn't available for a lot of the world. Stay safe.
If you've had more than two attacks by "thugs", it's obviously not unprovoked. I've lived in two different extremely crime-ridden areas, and I had to walk the streets everyday not once did I ever get attacked by "thugs". Just the fact that you refer to them as "thugs" is a little bit of a Freudian slip.
Thank you for posting this video. I have practiced three different martial arts, but I still find it very useful to know 2 or 3 effective strikes / moves and become as proficient at them as you can. When something happens in the real world (outside of the dojo) you want as natural of a reaction as possible to stop the attack. What I don't agree with (my opinion, I'm not saying anyone is wrong, you have to do what you feel is right) is the "I don't want to hurt them" approach. You state this towards the beginning of the video, and you also use the phrase "nice and gentle" when describing the throat strike. You even change your wording about half way through the video (about the 3:30 mark) when you state "another thing that will save your life is the kick in the nuts!". The key phrase is "save your life". If you feel your life is in danger, why are you going to be worried about hurting the attacker, gently striking him? It is a different story if it is a family member or someone you know, but if you are attacked out in public by someone you have never met, and they are obviously trying to seriously hurt you, I'm sorry but I am not going for the "kinder, gentler" method.
Agreed. This fellow is so much fragile white okey-dokey you don't really have to know much about what you're doing to kill somebody hit him in the throat... and if somebody comes out you to hurt you if you're not attacking the attacker to beat him down till he stops twitching you're probably not gonna survive.
My friend.....if only like minded folk knew how to do the simplest of moves to protect themselves! I commend you for bringing this topic, into the forefront of ordinary folks lives...BIG thumbs up from me!
Just perfect, I am French and my English is not fluent but I anderstood everything cause your English (I suppose from Great Britain) is really easy, pedagogical and intelligible. You are very calm during the demonstration, that is perfect !!!
This video is okay for some situations where you know your stuck in a fight. It is reliable with an instructor that has good experience in self defense. People should learn from this video. 😇💪👌
To be completely truthful, in a real self-defense situation I never did, nor will I ever, take care not to hurt an attacker or attackers. In fact, I will hurt and at least injure any attacker. Years ago I gave a lot of self-defense courses for women. I definitely taught them to hurt any attacker.
I found it ridiculous to be concerned about the welfare of the attacker when the only concern should be inflicting as much pain and suffering as possible.
@@keithsurdyke2535 I don't look at necessarily as being concerned about the attacker's welfare, but more for your own. Sure, you want to protect yourself, but also don't want to end up in jail, if you can avoid that. You can't count on the courts agreeing that you acted in self-defense. I know the saying "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6", but I'd prefer to avoid either scenario.
I also think it is very important if you can practice this regularly so it becomes second nature to you. You are really funny and I enjoyed/learned a lot from this video.
I don't understand why you don't want to hurt the attacker. They don't care about not hurting one who is being attacked. I say send attackers to the hospital
It is more about deescalating. If the attacker does not get hurt and you just avoid the attacks, actually even without doing any techniques, he might just get tired or frustrated and leave. And he has less motivation for any revenge.
I have always found this channel super practical and have even taught someone else many of the moves I have learned and practiced on this channel. keep up the great work guys!
Love the video! YOU are the 1st channel to bring up kicking the balls! Thank you! Yes, I am a woman and totally believe in exploiting the Best weakness a guy has. A woman can't over power a man unless he is on the ground screaming in a High pitch!
life... " If you're in a defense situation like that and you're concerned with NOT hurting the attacker too much, you better run. No need for your defense moves.
@@jeremiasrivera9533 if they're a minor tho that's 😬 what I mean is if theyre a minor meaning around 15 or 16 and they wont stop till you're down, you have nothing else to do but use these because it'll be labled as self defense so you dont get charged for it
If it isn't just some bully or someone coming to permanently hurt you, kill you or coming at you with full intent or aggression just immobilise them with a choke or hit a a sensitive area quickly, but if not, and they're coming bloodthirsty, you have no chance to win if you don't do that same. If you get a punch in, keep i until they pass out, if you're constantly attacked, you'll get hurt anyways so charge in and knock them out
A very positive approach to dealing with a potentially big problem: How to protect yourself 'within' the law... One of the most critical aspects of any self-defense technique (including Aikido) is developing self-confidence. Too many nominally 'gentle-natured' people have a problem with this, since self-confidence is the entry-level 'key' for most locks. Aikido helps develop the necessary confidence to put superb techniques such as these demonstrated by Akidoflow. Self-confidence also (importantly) helps a person deal with the all-important problem of ego, since ego (unreasonably) often demands that a response be forceful beyond that which is absolutely necessary to resolve a threat. Just this 1.5 minute video is a valuable start in the right direction! I speak as a constitutionally 'gentle' individual who has always been troubled by needless violence. PS: I am absolutely convinced that ALL children should take some form of the martial arts at the earliest age possible, and Aikido is a wonderful way to start! We live in an increasingly violent age but there is no mandate that says we must be victims, despite a firm belief in cultivating and promoting the essential 'goodness' of humanity. As the Russians put it: "Trust, but VERIFY."
The attack to the nuts saved my life when an ex was beating me to a pulp..he was an ex boxer and a tough guy...but he had the cheek to complain to his sister's that I hurt his nuts while I ended up in a hospital bed lol but the nut attack really does work :)
Some good stuff there. Both hands move, the third technique is 'brush grab strike" and is so foundational it shows up in so many arts. I am used to seeing unrealistic videos, but this one is good. nice and clean stuff.
Points to remember first. 1/ No one is to big to run away from. 2/ It hurts even more the day after. 3/ Only If you have absolutely no chance of escape should hit him first. 4/ If you do have to take action, it has to be a 100% explosive effort. 5/ Forget body punches or wrestling on the floor, it's nose, throat and eyes and then leave quickly. 6/ Fear can be you friend because you can turn it easily into instant aggression. I must be the mildest guy in town but when a giant of a chap once put me in this situation, I was even more surprised than him when he was the one left screaming on the floor.
In every street fight situation is different , it's good to know little bit of everything judo,boxing,wrestling martial arts,opponents in street fights are different than the dojo and be in tip top shape at all times train for stamina and weight train is a must..
Yes Sir, You are Right Stamina & Strength Means ALOT in a Street Fight.But a LUCKY PUNCH👊 will put ANY1 to Sleep,No Matter the Situation.Strength/Stamina means ALOT in any FIGHT.
I once used the ol' bollock squeeze when I got myself caught in a headlock. It definitely works. The lad I was fighting, incidently, became my best mate afterwards.
What an awesome video... at first I thought I learned like 30 things.... but it was really just those 3 principles within those 30 ways of it being applied... Love this !!!!!! damn you
Thank you. Great tips, I can pinch and squeeze and then watch him suffer for 20 minutes. 😁👍🏻 on a serious note these videos are appreciated, I want to be prepared but I hope I never need it.
Loved the initial convo about using only as much force as necessary- a very important lesson. The frontal strike to the throat- also good stuff. But I'm going to call bullshit on the pinch to the back of the arm. I had someone do this in an amateur MMA fight where i had the dude in like a side/rear choke type situation which i was struggling to get sunk deep. The guy tried this method to make me release- held onto it for 90 seconds with all his might as we grappled. It left hideous marks on my arm that were there for months- but didn't make me even come close to releasing. When you do submission moves you have to learn to take the pain that comes with that type of fighting. This move will NOT work on someone with the heart of a fighter. You need to shut them down, not cause superficial pain to win fights or one day your going to get the surprise of your life when it doesn't phase your opponent
I like that you use Aikido and make it practical for a street fight, I've been going to this kickboxing and bjj school and they also have aikido, these videos made me want to start aikido. Keep up the good work man!😁
Great Video clip! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - Schallingora Family Friendship Scheme (probably on Google)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for revealing some simple military style self defence techniques to protect your family without the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got astronomical success with it.

@@nmelkhunter1 Yep, proper safety and philosophy of use is important. The amount of dumbasses who think just owning a Glock makes them invincible despite having no practice or skill astounds me
Excellent stuff guys: your last videos are among the most practical and useful videos around. You dig into your experience and have a grasp on reality. Keep posting!
I’d say the best technique is to just stay calm, when your in a fight it’s super easy to miss a punch or a kick or something, so you have to be as focused as possible to land your hits, the best way of staying focused, is to stay calm. It also has the bonus of being able to control how hard you hit.
Hi guys - a fun idea for a video would be “5 films to watch that showcase aikido” your favourite films that feature aikido. I’m sure they’d be mostly Seagal movies
I like your simple self defense techniques, very easy.. But i hope you teach us ladies,, because our strenght our height or fist is weaker than man. Pls make a video specially for ladies defense. Thnks. 😘
Very good standard moves.. Now for those of you that have never done thing set up a practice are with maybe a dead bag So you can do this with out thinking or with very little thought and confidence.. Well done video.. remember always defense only never be the bully..
Ok stopping a threat is my priority in a "situation" and I surely don't give two shits if an attacker gets injured if that's what it takes to stop the threat!
I think it's one of Aikido's main principals which is (from wiki, so not definitive): "Ueshiba's goal was to create an art that practitioners could use to defend themselves while also protecting their attackers from injury"
Hang on!!! You're talking about self defense, and then you say you don't want to ruin someone's life? Well, I can tell you this, speaking as someone who grew up in a tough docklands town, My parents taught me to hit back, only harder and longer. Hit them til they give up all ideas of harming you. They were right! Anyone who attacks, unprovoked, deserves all the pain and misery you can dish out to them. Maybe that'll drill some sense into their thick skulls, and save other from getting mugged or even killed. Bullies fear only one thing, and that's being on the receiving end. Do it, and do it hard. It's a rare bully who will come back for second helpings. I know- I've bashed a few in my time, and that cured them.
Im a 1968 Army trooper. Wow. This is what I learned in the Army. Please tell us more. Ive passed this on to many people in my life time. Im 72 now. Great job. One thing. If theres more than one. Find the biggest targets first
One of my favorite martial arts strike combinations designed to stop an opponent's attack which I like is a fast shuffle toward your opponent to (#1) strike with a backfist directly on his nose. As you retract that strike by simply curling your forearm back toward your shoulder, turn your hand over and (#2) strike with the knuckles as shown in this video directly to the Adam's apple in the throat. Use as much force as you can on both strikes so as to break the nose and crush the windpipe, if possible. This should stun the attacker enough for you to make a new (#3) strike that consists of grabbing his head with the palm of each hand to prevent him from jerking his head away. Once you control his head, push each thumb into his eyeballs for a couple seconds. Then use both hands holding the head to PUSH OFF the attacker as hard as you can so that you can make a safe exit. If this sounds violent and forceful, it is. But in a world where attackers may be physically stronger than you or their ability to feel pain has been diminished by drug use, it pays to attack with as much force as you can so as to stop the threat to your safety as fast as possible and to incapacitate the attacker long enough for you to safely escape. None of those strikes are likely to kill any attacker but all of them together should effectively stop the attack.
You've never grappled. When a grappler has you in a rear chock, ankle lock, ect. If you bite him he won't just let go like in a fake martial movie. They will break the joint or snap your neck.
@@chrism2383 May be. I once was fooling around with a long time jiu jitsu guy. He tried to put a lock on my arm, couldn't and then went for a choke, which he got. But I had plenty of opportunities to bite the hell out of him before he got it. I do believe once I'd started to draw blood he'd have jumped up, even if it had been for real.
@@chrism2383 Even a greatest grappler has to prepare for a lock. Before the complete lock, the grappler can't break a joint. That's what John described. Grappling is not a magic wand.

Kick/ Toe punt in the head or body, be prepared to use an elbow if it jumps at u, never turn ur back on a dog, back away facing it - always. I have used this defence more than once on street dogs across Asia. There are other defences but they require training.
@@ps2212 Thanks, such experience is precious because there is not enough information available anywhere. A video showing such techniques with real (not trained) dogs would gather millions of views. On the other hand, if the dog is big -like a Shepard or crazy like a Pitbull, what then? I mean other than carrying a gun, and even then Pitbull usually stops only when it dies. See ua-cam.com/video/RCBRIzr0f-k/v-deo.html
@@harrys.3165 Sure, I wouldn't mind to cut its throat either, so carrying a hidden knife is a must eg like in some special belts, but that means the dog has already bitten you and causing you serious damage by the second. A video showing how to prevent an angry large dog from biting you and make the dog leave, would be precious information. I would generously pay for such a video!
@@ΑΙΕΝΑΡΙΣΤΕΥΕΙΝ-ψ3φ fair enough. I will elaborate. When a dog charges you, if you are quick, grab your jumper and wrap it around your arm. Put it out for the dog to bite as this will limit your injury. With the other hand poke it in the eyes . Also dogs can be powerful and you may get bitten in any case. Look the dog in the eyes as it runs toward you and yell loudly as sometime a dog can fear a person that shows no fear. You can also punch them hard in the side of the chest. There are many ways that others may also tell you. Grab a stick and use that. You must think fast, show no fear. I have trained dobermans and have been bitten many times through the course of training my dobermans but in the end the dogs love and respect me but I too love them so much. Good luck and I hope you never have to deal with a crazy wild dog but if you do then protect yourself, use a jumper to wrap your arm or a stick or any other object, throw out food if you have it or face it with dominance, power and crazy anger or walk away but walk backward while maintaining eye contact.
He talks about being careful & not putting yourself in a situation where you could do something that could get you in trouble. The next he's recommending hitting someone in the neck with a one knuckle fist strike. You can potentially kill or paralyse someone with that technique if it's done right.
@@moehoward8691 Perhaps it was the stint I did in Prison, which made me realise that even defending yourself can put you at risk of losing your liberty. So think first, before you make any more stupid comments!
@@jchisholm1968 True! I often read/hear that alot. Guy is defending himself from a bully/threat and because he the other person either got more hurt than expected or killed, charges go against the guy defending himself. Man, glad you are out now. Stay safe.
I love this self defence techniques. All I have to do is practice on my own to master them. Isn't that obvious? You'll never know them properly not doing them
If somebody attacks you in America, we dont have to worry about the attackers feelings and well being. The second somebody chooses to try to kill, rape or seriously injure somebody, they automatically forfeit their own right to remain alive or have all of their body parts functioning.
Too many of the comments ask why you should care about hurting your opponent "too much." I think that the level you need to hurt them will depend on the opponent, and the situation, and you can use your judgment. I was taught: "Talk your way out of a fight. If you can't talk your way out of a fight, walk your way out of a fight. If you can't walk your way out of a fight, run your way out of a fight. If you cannot even run away from a fight, then kill them." However, after being taught those lines, we were quickly told the following addendum: Kill the Fight. Often when there is a person being aggressive, if you can do a hip throw and they are now prone on their back after flying ass over teakettle, they might very well decide not to go any further. And that need not hurt them at all, just send them spinning. Especially if there was alcohol involved. People might be more aggressive than they would be otherwise and a simple move to show them how bad it would be for them to try again is often all it takes. You just killed the fight. Now you do not need to stand there waiting to see if the fight revives itself---you can try to leave. If you need to do more, if those do not stop them, or if there is a group, then by all means lay them out. But I agree 100% with the sentiments in this video---no need to ruin someone's life for one instance of bad decisions. Give them a chance to change their mind.
@@krushinghead246 i know this from experience. I grew up in a rough area in London. In that time i had been learning karate and had learned some techniques that you see in the video. I later started learning mma and from my experience it works better in a street fight. And ive had many street fights
@@krushinghead246 Because people that actually train in a practical martial art (aka wrestling, muay thai, bjj, etc.) know that this is b.s. Plz don't use this if you are looking to defend yourself. I'm not saying that every technique is gonna work 100% of the time in more practical martial arts but it's a lot more effective. There's no such thing as a magic pill that works 100% of the time. If you find something like that, let me know and I'll quit everything and train in that.
I love this show. I love what you teach. But, if someone is trying to hurt me, or especially, my family, destroying them is no problem. But I will only do what is necessary. Up to and including my .45.

The throat/neck blows are lethal
No they are not. No one has ever been seriously hurt except the idiot trying a throat strike with his thumb webbing. Utter b.s strike
Not necessarily. If you go for the part of the neck which is down of it instead of Adam's apple, it's not lethal, just destabilizing.

If you wear glasses, the attacker won’t touch you, don’t worry 🤓🤪😂
@Jeff Oliver Don't tell me that!
Now I am getting really scared. Motherrrrr..
Classic lol
What an awesome video... at first I thought I learned like 30 things.... but it was really just those 3 principles within those 30 ways of it being applied... Love this !!!!!! damn you
Thank you. Great tips, I can pinch and squeeze and then watch him suffer for 20 minutes. 😁👍🏻 on a serious note these videos are appreciated, I want to be prepared but I hope I never need it.
got jumped on my way to school today by an older teen so this is gonna help me if he comes back ty
Loved the initial convo about using only as much force as necessary- a very important lesson. The frontal strike to the throat- also good stuff. But I'm going to call bullshit on the pinch to the back of the arm. I had someone do this in an amateur MMA fight where i had the dude in like a side/rear choke type situation which i was struggling to get sunk deep. The guy tried this method to make me release- held onto it for 90 seconds with all his might as we grappled. It left hideous marks on my arm that were there for months- but didn't make me even come close to releasing. When you do submission moves you have to learn to take the pain that comes with that type of fighting. This move will NOT work on someone with the heart of a fighter. You need to shut them down, not cause superficial pain to win fights or one day your going to get the surprise of your life when it doesn't phase your opponent
doesnt work on untrained fighters either i did it to my brotherinlaw he yelled but didnt let go
@@CrazyJiggers 😂 See, there you go! Thank you for backing me up- it's a 🤦 suggestion...
@Jeremy Horne he said it was a amateur fight so why would you have heard of him
Try pinching and twisting the nipples.. that'll make them let go. LOL.
But….it left marks that lasted for months…assisting the police to identify your killer!!!
I've been teaching my son tom (9) this today ,great tips thanks
I like that you use Aikido and make it practical for a street fight, I've been going to this kickboxing and bjj school and they also have aikido, these videos made me want to start aikido. Keep up the good work man!😁
The 3rd shot is classic Erle Montaigue ... it's a Taiji application. Erle taught this exact thing 30 years ago.
One tight slap in the street makes one forget those techniques 🙅🏾♂️
Lol true that...
That's why you have to keep practising them at home
Great Video clip! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - Schallingora Family Friendship Scheme (probably on Google)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for revealing some simple military style self defence techniques to protect your family without the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got astronomical success with it.
Cheers for the Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Schallingora Family Friendship Scheme (google it)?

Excellent stuff guys: your last videos are among the most practical and useful videos around. You dig into your experience and have a grasp on reality. Keep posting!
Antal Antal thank you
Excellent I've seen this video many times over and I try my best to practice
And none of these tipps have sth to do with Aikido. But they are very effective and easy. Good examples!
Jimatul Kerriganus cheers !
Jimatul Kerriganus have you ever used these in a real fight. Yes I think a couple of them but not all of them.
Are you kiddin? Dont you know legendary hed-butt-o-nari technique? Bol-za-kage? Hello! Its pure aikido.
I’d say the best technique is to just stay calm, when your in a fight it’s super easy to miss a punch or a kick or something, so you have to be as focused as possible to land your hits, the best way of staying focused, is to stay calm. It also has the bonus of being able to control how hard you hit.
I love the work you guys do. Keep it up.
Lester Guidry thank you
His 3 simple moves turned into a lot more!
Well done for teaching Wing Chun on a Aikido tutorial.
Some kung fu action for this one...but, whatever works
Yes I agree..but shityy mom existent wing chun..probably took a seminar on wing chun and now they "know it"
Hi guys - a fun idea for a video would be “5 films to watch that showcase aikido” your favourite films that feature aikido. I’m sure they’d be mostly Seagal movies
I don't know if Steven Segal is that quick in real life, but in his movies, he looks as fast as lightning. I like his moves!
I think it’d ludicrous to be concerned for your attacker. If someone attacks you first, they surrender their well-being to your whim.
Very helpful thanks buddy
What the? Are you serious? Lets not hurt the homicidal maniac? Have you been on Earth long?
I could watch this video over and over and over again I enjoy this one of my favorites and I keep practicing

@@samuraiisalmighty4917 someone always come out with this quote when a martial art video is put up, years ago it used to be, boards don't hit back.
he was talking about boxing
More like everyone has a plan until they get hit in the nuts
True! That's why one must practice the basics all the time. You'll forget 90%of what you know so better to fall back on good basics
I like your simple self defense techniques, very easy.. But i hope you teach us ladies,, because our strenght our height or fist is weaker than man. Pls make a video specially for ladies defense. Thnks. 😘
This dude never been in a fight, not to mention a street fight!
How do you know?
Very good standard moves.. Now for those of you that have never done thing set up a practice are with maybe a dead bag So you can do this with out thinking or with very little thought and confidence.. Well done video.. remember always defense only never be the bully..
Brilliant guys thanks for showing us how to defend our selfs
Thank you for sharing these useful tips!
Ok stopping a threat is my priority in a "situation" and I surely don't give two shits if an attacker gets injured if that's what it takes to stop the threat!
In California if you defend yourself against a violent attack you are the criminal.
@@danielsoliz588 Surely if there was footage proving you had no choice but to defend yourself you would have a leg to stand on in court???
I think it's one of Aikido's main principals which is (from wiki, so not definitive): "Ueshiba's goal was to create an art that practitioners could use to defend themselves while also protecting their attackers from injury"
@@danielsoliz588 same in most of western europe.. Anywhere leftists are in charge justice gets inverted.
The pinching technique was my mother's favorite go-to when wanting to stop me from misbehaving.
Really like the simple quiet way you teach. I have taught all my kids (college age) to be aware of surroundings . Also de escalate if possible.
Like ur style not complex moves simple and straight forward respect from Macedonian in Australia
always instructional and entertaining (to retain interest). Great vids with extremely useful techniques.
This guy knows what he’s doing plain n simple.. stop by we do similar methods
Hang on!!! You're talking about self defense, and then you say you don't want to ruin someone's life? Well, I can tell you this, speaking as someone who grew up in a tough docklands town, My parents taught me to hit back, only harder and longer. Hit them til they give up all ideas of harming you. They were right! Anyone who attacks, unprovoked, deserves all the pain and misery you can dish out to them. Maybe that'll drill some sense into their thick skulls, and save other from getting mugged or even killed.
Bullies fear only one thing, and that's being on the receiving end. Do it, and do it hard. It's a rare bully who will come back for second helpings. I know- I've bashed a few in my time, and that cured them.
Preach
Much agreed

Use the right type of force for example a tipsy guy in a club pushes you don't have break his jaw!

Im a 1968 Army trooper. Wow. This is what I learned in the Army. Please tell us more. Ive passed this on to many people in my life time. Im 72 now. Great job. One thing. If theres more than one. Find the biggest targets first
Army hand to hand in '68 was a joke.
I like this its simple and elegant and really just goes to show how you can defend yourself especially around bad people thanks for this!
Perfect. This is what I was looking for
One of my favorite martial arts strike combinations designed to stop an opponent's attack which I like is a fast shuffle toward your opponent to (#1) strike with a backfist directly on his nose. As you retract that strike by simply curling your forearm back toward your shoulder, turn your hand over and (#2) strike with the knuckles as shown in this video directly to the Adam's apple in the throat. Use as much force as you can on both strikes so as to break the nose and crush the windpipe, if possible.
This should stun the attacker enough for you to make a new (#3) strike that consists of grabbing his head with the palm of each hand to prevent him from jerking his head away. Once you control his head, push each thumb into his eyeballs for a couple seconds. Then use both hands holding the head to PUSH OFF the attacker as hard as you can so that you can make a safe exit.
If this sounds violent and forceful, it is. But in a world where attackers may be physically stronger than you or their ability to feel pain has been diminished by drug use, it pays to attack with as much force as you can so as to stop the threat to your safety as fast as possible and to incapacitate the attacker long enough for you to safely escape. None of those strikes are likely to kill any attacker but all of them together should effectively stop the attack.
this is probably the best channel in youtube

Paolo Smaldone thanks
Forgot one of the most painful, and also most ignored, of all: biting. Especially with a grappler.
You've never grappled. When a grappler has you in a rear chock, ankle lock, ect. If you bite him he won't just let go like in a fake martial movie. They will break the joint or snap your neck.
@@chrism2383 May be. I once was fooling around with a long time jiu jitsu guy. He tried to put a lock on my arm, couldn't and then went for a choke, which he got. But I had plenty of opportunities to bite the hell out of him before he got it. I do believe once I'd started to draw blood he'd have jumped up, even if it had been for real.
Especialy fingers
@@chrism2383
Even a greatest grappler has to prepare for a lock. Before the complete lock, the grappler can't break a joint.
That's what John described. Grappling is not a magic wand.
Great tips!! In my opinion though causing someone who has just attacked me some extended pain and healing time just my save someone else!!
"I'll show you simple moves that can help you defend in a just way. First lesson: STRIKE TO THE THROAT"
@JOHN GR Appreciate Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Schallingora Family Friendship Scheme (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for revealing some simple military style self defence techniques to protect your family minus the hard work.

What are you squeezing at the back of the arm that makes it hurt? The triceps muscle there isn't that sensitive IMO. Am i missing something here?
Really great and helpful video, Ondrej! I really appreciate the practicality of the moves demonstrated. While you and Azu are experts at aikido, it's excellent that you share insights that anyone can use, even if they've not been trained in martial arts at all. Many thanks to you!
That pinch hurts like HELL, that's so easy but rlly effective
Kudos for the Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard about - Schallingora Family Friendship Scheme (should be on google have a look)?

Great video, how about self defense for an attacking dog? What can one do? Is there a chance you'll make a video about that?
Kick/ Toe punt in the head or body, be prepared to use an elbow if it jumps at u, never turn ur back on a dog, back away facing it - always. I have used this defence more than once on street dogs across Asia.
There are other defences but they require training.
@@ps2212 Thanks, such experience is precious because there is not enough information available anywhere. A video showing such techniques with real (not trained) dogs would gather millions of views.
On the other hand, if the dog is big -like a Shepard or crazy like a Pitbull, what then?
I mean other than carrying a gun, and even then Pitbull usually stops only when it dies. See ua-cam.com/video/RCBRIzr0f-k/v-deo.html
@@ΑΙΕΝΑΡΙΣΤΕΥΕΙΝ-ψ3φ if it's a matter of life and death.. Poke the dog in the eyes.
@@harrys.3165 Sure, I wouldn't mind to cut its throat either, so carrying a hidden knife is a must eg like in some special belts, but that means the dog has already bitten you and causing you serious damage by the second. A video showing how to prevent an angry large dog from biting you and make the dog leave, would be precious information. I would generously pay for such a video!
@@ΑΙΕΝΑΡΙΣΤΕΥΕΙΝ-ψ3φ fair enough. I will elaborate. When a dog charges you, if you are quick, grab your jumper and wrap it around your arm. Put it out for the dog to bite as this will limit your injury. With the other hand poke it in the eyes . Also dogs can be powerful and you may get bitten in any case. Look the dog in the eyes as it runs toward you and yell loudly as sometime a dog can fear a person that shows no fear. You can also punch them hard in the side of the chest. There are many ways that others may also tell you. Grab a stick and use that. You must think fast, show no fear. I have trained dobermans and have been bitten many times through the course of training my dobermans but in the end the dogs love and respect me but I too love them so much. Good luck and I hope you never have to deal with a crazy wild dog but if you do then protect yourself, use a jumper to wrap your arm or a stick or any other object, throw out food if you have it or face it with dominance, power and crazy anger or walk away but walk backward while maintaining eye contact.
Awesomeness!"
Great Instruction!"
Great Instructors!"
He talks about being careful & not putting yourself in a situation where you could do something that could get you in trouble. The next he's recommending hitting someone in the neck with a one knuckle fist strike. You can potentially kill or paralyse someone with that technique if it's done right.
because sometimes you are just at a bus stop and somebody has other ideas about your evening. LifeintheUK
Are you one of those sissies who is afraid to defend yourself?
@@moehoward8691 Perhaps it was the stint I did in Prison, which made me realise that even defending yourself can put you at risk of losing your liberty. So think first, before you make any more stupid comments!
@@jchisholm1968 True! I often read/hear that alot. Guy is defending himself from a bully/threat and because he the other person either got more hurt than expected or killed, charges go against the guy defending himself. Man, glad you are out now. Stay safe.
So one less perp. I'd advocate such a move. Biden is giving the green light to these monsters to come out & loot
Great stuff. Where is your accent from?
Great channel, I love the concept of using classical martial arts in the modern arena..
Thank you for the tips. Question, what if your attacker if female? Does kick them in between the legs work as effectively?
I love this self defence techniques. All I have to do is practice on my own to master them. Isn't that obvious? You'll never know them properly not doing them
I like to practice them on my siblings
If somebody attacks you in America, we dont have to worry about the attackers feelings and well being. The second somebody chooses to try to kill, rape or seriously injure somebody, they automatically forfeit their own right to remain alive or have all of their body parts functioning.
I love the "pinch inagi" technique - thank you, Jason!
Too many of the comments ask why you should care about hurting your opponent "too much." I think that the level you need to hurt them will depend on the opponent, and the situation, and you can use your judgment.
I was taught: "Talk your way out of a fight. If you can't talk your way out of a fight, walk your way out of a fight. If you can't walk your way out of a fight, run your way out of a fight. If you cannot even run away from a fight, then kill them." However, after being taught those lines, we were quickly told the following addendum: Kill the Fight. Often when there is a person being aggressive, if you can do a hip throw and they are now prone on their back after flying ass over teakettle, they might very well decide not to go any further. And that need not hurt them at all, just send them spinning. Especially if there was alcohol involved. People might be more aggressive than they would be otherwise and a simple move to show them how bad it would be for them to try again is often all it takes. You just killed the fight. Now you do not need to stand there waiting to see if the fight revives itself---you can try to leave. If you need to do more, if those do not stop them, or if there is a group, then by all means lay them out. But I agree 100% with the sentiments in this video---no need to ruin someone's life for one instance of bad decisions. Give them a chance to change their mind.
David W. Peterson okay lol.
You are a gentleman. 👍
It amazes me they don't show footwork in these videos.
Footwork is vital!!
He did..... he kicked him in the nuts!
Its because this is all bullshit. None of this works against someone who is actually trying to hurt you
@@nickjohal105 how do you know?
@@krushinghead246 i know this from experience. I grew up in a rough area in London. In that time i had been learning karate and had learned some techniques that you see in the video. I later started learning mma and from my experience it works better in a street fight. And ive had many street fights
@@krushinghead246 Because people that actually train in a practical martial art (aka wrestling, muay thai, bjj, etc.) know that this is b.s. Plz don't use this if you are looking to defend yourself. I'm not saying that every technique is gonna work 100% of the time in more practical martial arts but it's a lot more effective. There's no such thing as a magic pill that works 100% of the time. If you find something like that, let me know and I'll quit everything and train in that.
Thank you! Really great advice!
This guy has never been in real situations where he had to fight
Yeah, maybe cause he's sensible and tries to avoid fights rather than advocating them
I love this show. I love what you teach. But, if someone is trying to hurt me, or especially, my family, destroying them is no problem. But I will only do what is necessary. Up to and including my .45.
Everyone should know how to react when someone try to knock you off
Great video wellexplained, thanks. 👍🧡
