I will note that Verbal Judo has a bit of a weakness: it really works best when you have a position of authority (not just law enforcement- Thompson was presenting this to teachers and other service professionals). It was still a springboard to my current study of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I have used Verbal Judo- it's still useful as an introduction to "tactical communication" and verbal self-defense in general.
Before George had his vocal cord cancer and the cord itself removed, he sounded so much like John Goodman. Besides the point. We lost a great man, teacher, police officer and father figure. Condolences go to his family and friends. He lives on through his work. Keep up the principals. R.I.P George
I love his voice and training. Thank s to him I will have the last true fruits of the spirit¡ Gentleness and self control. Love joy peace. Patience kindness faithful, gentleness and self control are the 9 Fruits of the Spirit. Thank you George!

Ironic that a man, who helped master the art of communication would get cancer affecting his communication. He is a legend and will always live on in his teachings.
I have used these techniques for years in an enforcement capacity and in 10 years of working with violent people I only had 7 fights due to the techniques
@@karamlevi that IS a great success story. I am not law enforcement. I am educated with a degree in safety managent, and I love to hear these sorts of testimonies. Testify!
This is the most brilliant, breathtaking talk I have ever seen with very specific steps on how to handle any situation such as: bullies, drunks, military, police action, SALES, etc. These are real meat steps, no potatoes. Just one gem after the next. Very precision techniques. This guy is a bad ass. PhD, Cop, Negotiator, and physically tough and strong. Well worth every minute. NOTE TO FOREIGNERS. His voice is very rough and he explains why. Some words are garbled. But you may want to have a native speaker help you out on some points.
Im hal way through this clip and i had to pause… i pause it momentarily to say this is one of the best lectures ive seen!!.. its brilliant and possibly life saving and career changing!
First let me say watch the whole video. It’s full of amazing knowledge usable in everyday life. But for those who may be tested on some of this information like I was for work or school here is some breakdowns. Triple “ME” 11:45 Inventor of verbal judo 14:20 Definition of Deflection 23:09 Playground of America 29:00 Deadliest word in America 40:00 Biggest problem in America 43:15 Greatest human activity 48:30 Empathy (powerful word English language) 55:00 Powerful sentence English language 1:01:15 5 step hard cycle (screen shot) 1:30:15. He starts into it at 1:17:00 I believe.
I've only just discovered George and I already think he is an absolute legend. Gutted I will never get the chance to attend one of his lectures. How can anyone dislike this video?!
This is a great video, and is a terrific supplement to Dr. Thompson ' book "Verbal Judo: The Gentle Art of Persuasion." I have found the principles to be highly effective, and in his presentations he comes across as a charming and charismatic speaker. In scanning the Comments section, however, I am stunned by comments demeaning him for his physical presence (a "thug"...really?), and insensitive and boorish comments about his breathing and voice. As noted by Doc himself, he was struggling with cancer at the time. Idiots who make comments about his breathing and voice either didn't watch the introductory remarks or were too dense to process them. And wisecracking about how he should quit smoking are just plain insensitive. RIP George. You are missed.
Zachrey Helmberger yeah your right for de-escalation to reduce physical violence but shitting on cancer survivors and insulting a person of farmers stock is also disgusting and evil. If we’re pre fight I’ll do as you asked. Untill then not really.
Unbelievable that people would fault him for those things. Way to focus on the unimportant and overlook what matters! It’s like a paramedic who gives you CPR snd saves your life… and you complain that he has bad breath and ripped your shirt collar. This is a truly great teacher, a unique, brilliant, original, and utterly inspiring human being. The volume of life experience, reflection, and insight distilled into his lectures is just extraordinary. (I put his lectures alongside Patrick Winston’s on public speaking and Larry McInerny’s on writing as masterpieces of our time.)
You will find that most people on UA-cam comments lack simple intelligence and instead are the first and loudest to display their ignorance. It's best to hold fast to your own intellectual capacity, for even average intelligence is miles above what you will find from those commenters. They will scoff and defend themselves, because they flee in the face of something they consider monumental to their own stature.
1:00:14 is probably the most important tactic to use on the street in order to gain intel in a situation and keep people calm at the same time. True life saver. I love Verbal Judo! Thank you sir RIP.
Really cool lecture. I recently bought his book, definitely a refreshing way to diffusing hostile situations with calmness and brevity. Unfortunately he passed away several years ago, but his legacy and methodology will live in us for years to come.
I believe his legacy will last for at least decades.. if not the next 100 years. Increasingly for the last 10 years has become increasingly acceptable for customers to act aggressively... not to mention the effect of drugs on society. I know 2 people who had to leave work as a result. The aggression is so normal and acceptable now it is destroying vast numbers in society.
Just a follow up in case anyone takes offense because I called them insensitive idiots for making boorish and insensitive comments about Dr. Thompson ' s breathing difficulties and cancer-stricken voice: "I understan' that, 'peciate that...but ...you're feeling cocky and superficial because you are suffering from brain damage...? Do I have that right?
I have had the full three day course for law enforcement twice at two different academies and it is absolutely wonderful..The course like this one is similar but there are significant differences in the LE version that doesn't apply to civilians. IT WORKS, AGAIN, IT WORKS One principal taught to LEO is that you are not paid it is not part of your job description to insult or scream at people. For civilians you do not get paid to be upset and respond negatively.
this is an excellent presentation. its not exactly the same as motivational interviewing which uses more question and less suggestion but it makes use of all the main principles empathy paraphrasing, and understanding motivation of others before self.
I took this training 15yrs ago. When I watch these youtube videos where LEO encounters escalate, 90% could have been prevented with this. Too bad this is not mandatory training for ALL LEO depts and agencies. Injuries, money, and most importantly lives would be saved.
two thumbs up to this gentleman. read his book, re-read it tonight by watching this video. conflicts can wound us but as long as we approach it with a growth mindset our skin will thicken and we will become more proficient and professional in our handling of it. I'm naturally a highly collaborative and emotionally sensitive person who tends to avoid conflict as much as possible. been working hard to improve this category and luckily have had a fair share of interpersonal conflicts/angry persons verbally attacking me in recent months. although the sting never fully goes away (yet), the mind calluses with experience and it gets easier with every incident. carry on ladies and gents!

Verbal Judo = Anything/everything you said can be used against you. People who use Verbal Judo will take whatever you said and turned around.Even if they have to changing the issue, they will go around and around and around. At some point U will be so frustrate that U will stop your arguments (no way to win). The best way to win to verbal judo is... Stop you reasonable arguments/don’t said anything. Why? Because the other side does not care for the truth/facts, only care to win the argument.
Doc Rhino has been at it for a long time. I went through the academy in 1990 and watched his seminar in 1991. It stuck with me and improved my ability to defuse situations. It's a big tool for your toolbox that has many settings. Over time that tool develops and grows into a multi use tool that you'll use on and off the job as well as with your kids, girlfriends, wife(wives). Stay safe and thanks Doc.
I always take something new each time I listen to Doc T. I agree with my colleagues George Thompson is a great loss to the Police community guys like him don;t come round every day.
My wife and I just walked away from a situation where chairs were flying and people were pushed around. Very scary. I prayed to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for training that could have helped defuse the situation and found this!!
I can't find it now, but I recall seeing a video , I think the original video of this training from the 90s for law enforcement I guess it was. George was much younger etc.. And there was a comment that said something to the affect of "its' a great lecture, but it assumes a (maybe accurate at the time) general environment of respect between law enforcement and the every day citizen, which we don't have now, etc etc." I don't recall all the details and I'd say the techniques in general here are great, but I do wonder if the actual law enforcement training stuff he did in the 90s could work now after years of change in culture about cops etc.
You are not only awesome, you are one of the most charismatic and wise individuals I have ever heard speak. I was looking for pointers on how to deal with problematic behavior with children in psychiatry, to help them back into regular school. And then I found you, this gold mine. Thank you!!
So his strategy is to teach the technique of Judo without all that fluff of self-knowledge and meditation on virtue... In Aristotle's society, there was no police force because Athens was a city of thinkers: "I have gained this by philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law." Also, not doing what is unjust in the name of the law.
What’s the point of a zillion lukewarm warm comments of uniform generic praise like this? It’s so “brilliant, it’s so great, etc” lol. It’s getting really bad here on UA-cam. Bland nuthugger yes man comments. George would fire you all.
This is exactly what I needed to learn to deal with my abusive ex. I'm going to teach this to my daughter the very next time I see her. Thank you so much. I first heard of this technique through the Active Self Protection channel.
Thus is awesome. I'm thankful Mr. Thompson's company for allowing it to be be published and Columbia U for having the foresight to tape it and post it online. Really dug it.
JUST LOOKED HIM UP FOR THE 1ST TIME & AM TRULY IMPRESSED BY THIS EDUCATOR. ADVISED BY 1 OF OUR SUPERVIORS IN TRAINING CLASS LAST NIGHT TO DO MORE RESEARCH CONCERNING THESE KIND OF ISSUES THROUGH GEORGE. THANKS SO MUCH.
This presentation has a lot more thought put into it than his book, which contained zero information at all besides countless pages of the author puffing himself up and telling ridiculous tall tales about himself. Easily one of the worst books I've ever read. Looks like he was saving the actual info for his lectures.
My god was i blessed buy watching this today buy Accident! The Man is a Life safer. And i believe he has a Book {Verbal Judo}. A must purchase today i think. God bless. and R.I.P .xx.
I have an expartner that is extremely difficult to deal with. I have been scared of his bullying behaviour for a long time because it feels like I have been going to battles with him for our son using only my feet to run away or a shield of lawyers/ignoring which inevitably breaks, and nothing to take assertive action with that will make him step back, just requiring other people to deal with him like LEO, judges etc. This video is the first I've come across with enough information to empower me with any situation I am called to resolve from his behaviour. Absolutely treasured material here.
Interesting lecture, well presented however still processing on whether this all should actually apply to all business situations and cultures. Most cases presented are based on dealing with either children or people who law enforcement deals with daily so I am wondering on just how well these models work in business in various countries globally. However people who do not follow rules and/or cause conflict in a workplace environment usually have some kind of issues with authority from home making them noncompliant and generally time consuming to work with. Will watch more to find answers, again thanks for posting this lecture. It was really great and provided lots of useful tools and insight
Great lecture but this addresses a severe problem in corporate and modern work places management and level employees trying to use this munipulative tone on smart Americans, firstly if youve never been on the streets you cant learn to use grammar games on people who are actually lived and experienced it.. I do see the need to teach these young people courteousy and how to respectly talk to people since they never learned it at home. But again, this as dr Thompson said is a slippery slope and employer's , nor employees, "dont need to be teaching people to police and engage strangers anywhere, that should always be funnel towards security officers and Law Enforcement Agencies. Supervisors should never put themselves nor anyone else in harms way. Its not worth it. Corporation have tried to usurp law enforcement Agencies because they have a few Gov Federal funding which is illegal, without an Agency license on prpoerty also, some also are arbitrarily setting up ghost secret investigating quote on quote, inside these hospitals and other 501C3 S, Corp etc, without Agency licence..?? Kind regards R.I.P. Officer Dr Thompson
I'm going to try hard to practice this when clients are racist to me at work. Golly, if I get harassed one more time, like spit on, for being Asian American I will start a gofundme to go back to the country my parents came from, and I will give up on the United States as a symbol of freedom.
Huh, I've already been using the springboard deflection on homeless people who harass me (it's common in my community). It's really useful to get away from what ever they're saying to the matter of fact, that I don't have money or cigarettes to hand them.
1:10:00 thru 1:15:00, I was that boy, and my father and mother were those father and mother. And now, everyone tells me how smart I am, and I work construction, Im in insane debt, Im an alcoholic, and I listen to the students giggle. And I know they dont feel the gravity of this mans words. Is that because he is so good or they are so simple. I dont know. But I think an hour and a half isnt 1% of what we need to learn and integrate what this man is teaching us.
As a person who has a hard time taking criticism. When he starts talking about if you mention the negative first your done is totally right. It just shuts you off and makes think your being reprimanded.
These types of knowledge makes me want so much to let other people about it , share this knowledge and learn things that most of people doesn't even imagine! Uff I'm afraid they will get tired of me though... *posts it on Facebook, no one sees it*
Anyone know what the second secret to working with people he started talking about at 1:29:32? 1) you've got to learn to help people build ground to stand on, to help save face. 2) Notice by using the 5 steps...?
I will note that Verbal Judo has a bit of a weakness: it really works best when you have a position of authority (not just law enforcement- Thompson was presenting this to teachers and other service professionals). It was still a springboard to my current study of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I have used Verbal Judo- it's still useful as an introduction to "tactical communication" and verbal self-defense in general.
Can I read your study?

Kevin Macedo I just discovered him. This is amazing.
I was so devastated to learn that he died. I would have liked to thank him personally for his teachings ... What a great man he was . R.I.P George.
He died?
Well Said
I love his voice and training. Thank s to him I will have the last true fruits of the spirit¡ Gentleness and self control. Love joy peace. Patience kindness faithful, gentleness and self control are the 9 Fruits of the Spirit. Thank you George!

Thank you for posting this brilliant class online. I’m going to start practicing the precepts taught here.
This was brilliant. Its certainly something I will use in my career.

This video was awesome.
I think you are absolutely awesome and so very interesting!
God Bless.
this video is broken the advertisement is mixed up and the video plays in the advertisement time

J Keighley you are a excellent practitioner and a great inspiration to people curious about law enforcement 👍🏽.
@@karamlevi that IS a great success story. I am not law enforcement. I am educated with a degree in safety managent, and I love to hear these sorts of testimonies.
Testify!
I met 7 people last week and got into 7 fights thanks to the techniques!
💕 thank you for your great service
This is the most brilliant, breathtaking talk I have ever seen with very specific steps on how to handle any situation such as: bullies, drunks, military, police action, SALES, etc. These are real meat steps, no potatoes. Just one gem after the next. Very precision techniques. This guy is a bad ass. PhD, Cop, Negotiator, and physically tough and strong. Well worth every minute. NOTE TO FOREIGNERS. His voice is very rough and he explains why. Some words are garbled. But you may want to have a native speaker help you out on some points.

Build ground for them to stand on. Help them to save face.
Zachrey Helmberger yeah your right for de-escalation to reduce physical violence but shitting on cancer survivors and insulting a person of farmers stock is also disgusting and evil.
If we’re pre fight I’ll do as you asked. Untill then not really.
Unbelievable that people would fault him for those things. Way to focus on the unimportant and overlook what matters! It’s like a paramedic who gives you CPR snd saves your life… and you complain that he has bad breath and ripped your shirt collar. This is a truly great teacher, a unique, brilliant, original, and utterly inspiring human being.

I work in patient access in the emergency department and this lecture is invaluable.
1:00:14 is probably the most important tactic to use on the street in order to gain intel in a situation and keep people calm at the same time. True life saver. I love Verbal Judo! Thank you sir RIP.
Great strategy. Man, is tough as nails to do this lecture in his condition. 🙏😎
So THIS is why cops have smart ass attitudes. Next time I'll deflect before they can and leave them defenseless with bewilderment.
This was truly awesome! I admire him working through his cancer! What amazing strength.
wats the book??
are there any other good ones i see no links?
The book is 'the Gentle Art of Persuasion'. By George Thompson.
Really cool lecture. I recently bought his book, definitely a refreshing way to diffusing hostile situations with calmness and brevity. Unfortunately he passed away several years ago, but his legacy and methodology will live in us for years to come.
I believe his legacy will last for at least decades.. if not the next 100 years. Increasingly for the last 10 years has become increasingly acceptable for customers to act aggressively... not to mention the effect of drugs on society. I know 2 people who had to leave work as a result. The aggression is so normal and acceptable now it is destroying vast numbers in society.
I found myself taking deep breaths during this video.
silva0003 I find myself thinking how tragic cancer is.
Just a follow up in case anyone takes offense because I called them insensitive idiots for making boorish and insensitive comments about Dr. Thompson ' s breathing difficulties and cancer-stricken voice: "I understan' that, 'peciate that...but ...you're feeling cocky and superficial because you are suffering from brain damage...?

Sadly, yes. It is really sad too because in this video he talks about how young his daughter is and such, and this video was created in 2009. :( RIP.

Great lecture and great book❤
How can I find the Q&A
Excellent Sir! I'm not sure I agree with everything you said but I learned from this.
This is exactly what I needed to learn to deal with my abusive ex. I'm going to teach this to my daughter the very next time I see her. Thank you so much. I first heard of this technique through the Active Self Protection channel.
cool guy...knows what hes talking about
One of the best lectures I've heard as an officer referenced towards crisis intervention and conflict resolution. What great man this was!
fkn awsom nothing else to say
Thus is awesome. I'm thankful Mr. Thompson's company for allowing it to be be published and Columbia U for having the foresight to tape it and post it online. Really dug it.
Warriors never get upset, he who gets upset loses . Get more polite instead. So true there may be tears .
Sounds a little like George C Scott from the movie Patton. :) Loved that film/great actor.
the law enforcement community suffered a big loss when this man died, RIP Brother.
JUst saw this from a long time ago, But damn... some good stuff to think about.
52:00 great story
Rest in Peace, sir.
What a brilliant lecture. Much respect from the UK.
I’m going to use this against my own inner critic that tries to bully me and make me depressed 💡

Very worthwhile information that can be used in everyday life. Thank you so much for posting it for the masses.
JUST LOOKED HIM UP FOR THE 1ST TIME & AM TRULY IMPRESSED BY THIS EDUCATOR.
ADVISED BY 1 OF OUR SUPERVIORS IN TRAINING CLASS LAST NIGHT TO DO MORE RESEARCH CONCERNING THESE KIND OF ISSUES THROUGH GEORGE.
THANKS SO MUCH.
This is great! This will help me and the people I work with so much.
42:21 yup
Absolutely fantastic lecture! Everyone in the world should see this.

P.S. At first I should have thanked the "Rhino." And who's the duchbag with the one dislike? Obviously, I'm still a student.
Brilliant.....thank you so much x

I have an expartner that is extremely difficult to deal with. I have been scared of his bullying behaviour for a long time because it feels like I have been going to battles with him for our son using only my feet to run away or a shield of lawyers/ignoring which inevitably breaks, and nothing to take assertive action with that will make him step back, just requiring other people to deal with him like LEO, judges etc. This video is the first I've come across with enough information to empower me with any situation I am called to resolve from his behaviour. Absolutely treasured material here.

Interesting lecture, well presented however still processing on whether this all should actually apply to all business situations and cultures. Most cases presented are based on dealing with either children or people who law enforcement deals with daily so I am wondering on just how well these models work in business in various countries globally. However people who do not follow rules and/or cause conflict in a workplace environment usually have some kind of issues with authority from home making them noncompliant and generally time consuming to work with. Will watch more to find answers, again thanks for posting this lecture. It was really great and provided lots of useful tools and insight

It's ironic he got cancer of the vocal cords.....m
Great lecture but this addresses a severe problem in corporate and modern work places management and level employees trying to use this munipulative tone on smart Americans, firstly if youve never been on the streets you cant learn to use grammar games on people who are actually lived and experienced it.. I do see the need to teach these young people courteousy and how to respectly talk to people since they never learned it at home. But again, this as dr Thompson said is a slippery slope and employer's , nor employees, "dont need to be teaching people to police and engage strangers anywhere, that should always be funnel towards security officers and Law Enforcement Agencies. Supervisors should never put themselves nor anyone else in harms way. Its not worth it. Corporation have tried to usurp law enforcement Agencies because they have a few Gov Federal funding which is illegal, without an Agency license on prpoerty also, some also are arbitrarily setting up ghost secret investigating quote on quote, inside these hospitals and other 501C3 S, Corp etc, without Agency licence..??
Kind regards R.I.P. Officer Dr Thompson
I'm going to try hard to practice this when clients are racist to me at work. Golly, if I get harassed one more time, like spit on, for being Asian American I will start a gofundme to go back to the country my parents came from, and I will give up on the United States as a symbol of freedom.
Huh, I've already been using the springboard deflection on homeless people who harass me (it's common in my community). It's really useful to get away from what ever they're saying to the matter of fact, that I don't have money or cigarettes to hand them.
RIP too much to be learned in this video
1:10:00 thru 1:15:00, I was that boy, and my father and mother were those father and mother. And now, everyone tells me how smart I am, and I work construction, Im in insane debt, Im an alcoholic, and I listen to the students giggle. And I know they dont feel the gravity of this mans words. Is that because he is so good or they are so simple. I dont know. But I think an hour and a half isnt 1% of what we need to learn and integrate what this man is teaching us.
As a person who has a hard time taking criticism. When he starts talking about if you mention the negative first your done is totally right. It just shuts you off and makes think your being reprimanded.
These types of knowledge makes me want so much to let other people about it , share this knowledge and learn things that most of people doesn't even imagine! Uff I'm afraid they will get tired of me though... *posts it on Facebook, no one sees it*
Anyone know what the second secret to working with people he started talking about at 1:29:32? 1) you've got to learn to help people build ground to stand on, to help save face. 2) Notice by using the 5 steps...?
I'd like to see more of this gentleman.
Great! Incredible kowledge
Good information and an even better ASMR video.
