The beautiful thing about much of the Indonesian/Filipino arts is that they do more with less. The techniques have a simple base, yet can be applied broadly and with many adjustments.
To me as a karate man the pulling hand or hiki te is an obvious concept, to see and understand it’s combative purposes, yet so many can’t see what is plainly in front of them. Thank you for the excellent content sir.
To all talkin smack, it might be slightly comical, but this man is a former student of Col. Applegate and is one of the premier close quarter combat trainers in the world. Take what he says to heart, he knows what hes talking about.
@@SundownTE How much time do you put into combatives training; how much time, how much effort, how much consideration, how many world class instructors have you acquired personal tutelage from? This man is a real "student of the game", he is a person who knows what he is talking about and it is worth hearing the man out cause you are very likely to learn something.
@eingraham81 Hubud isn't about blocking the same strike three times...at least as a rule. What it does do is programs you to have up to three chances to deal with a blow as needed. You are free to whallop the opponent at any time you feel fit. This stuff is really not that complicated!
@eingraham81 - What's complex about using gross motor function? Blauer uses it in a different way true, but it's still the gross motor function he's going to utilise... as complex is just more time consuming, both to learn to a strong level of competency and more importantly... a principal that will leave you slower than the attack you are responding to. Which is never a good idea.
@eingraham81 Acutally his moves are quite simple...they seem complex at first like HUBUD. Its seems strange and different but with a bit of practice its pretty effective. The thing is you dont have to use all of the elements of HUBUD...they wont work, but the first 2 moves get the attacker out of your way. Mike Janich is no joke he is a former Army Intellengence officer speaks 5 languages and teaches all over the world.... I do however like Tony Bluaers stuff as well.
I'm loving the video's sir! Not just what you teach but mostly how you teach. You are very clear, concise and make it easy to understand what you are about. Do you have anything on conditioning of your 'weapons'? My knuckles, palms and forearms and fine but especially my shins need some work. I would love to hear your thoughts on proper and effective conditioning.
May I humbly make a suggestion? I am seeing some excessive motion that wastes both time & energy. For example, if we look at the drill that starts at about 2:35 we can see the lead hand goes in pretty much from it's initial position - I think that's very good. The 2nd hand, however, pulls back before it's launched. This takes more time, telegraphing the move & doesn't really add anything to the results. I hope my comment is taken in the way it's intended. I thank you for your excellent video.
I do like his approach to utilizing gross motor movements. Those are basically all that a person has left during a fight or flight situation. Train your moves so that they become instinctual (ingrained in your muscle memory) and they won't fail you in a fight. The video is too short to really get a good look at what he is teaching, but it does look effective and to be aimed at a more experienced martial artist and not "joe average" just looking for some basic self defense techniques. He seems to use the word "literally" quite a bit.
If gross Motors skills are the only thing left, how does one do judo grips or any type of trapping? That fine vs gross doesn't apply to fighter jets pilot for example. How do you explain that?
Janich is pretty good!! You have to find what you THINK may work better for you in RBSD. Maybe Blauer or Wagner or Richard Ryan may be your guy. People spend too much time saying what is good or bad and never got to that system which they talk about. I learned alot from different systems some work for me some did not but they were all great. I will never stop learning!
Krav Maga is all about aggression and brute force but it has more simultaneous defense+counters. It also contains a lot of ball busting. :) You don't see a lot of 'going along with the motion' or 'using the attackers strength/momentum against himself' but more force against force (using said simultaneous counters). Furthermore if you look at the KM techniques, they are very simple (as in, have few steps/motions to go through).
***** With Janich, you get, typically, 2 hours of video for the price everyone charges for about 45-55 minutes. I have others of his, and Chris Petrilli's, videos and learn more from them than I have from most other martial arts videos where they just show a technique and then just splice it in another 5 or 6 times as a demo. Janich and Petrilli explain in so much detail on one thing that the dvds are well worth the 35-40 bucks. A single layer dvd can hold 4-5 hours, at least, of very good, not great, quality instructional video.
Get a plank of wood, stand it up and make sure it can't move, a vice would be good but lacking that use your imagination, wrap plenty of heavy string cord around it (same stuff as for parcels) and get cracking, hit it with your fist, palm and forearm...or if you have a punchbag wrap a coal bag around it, be sure to clean your punchbag after but since it'll be coal dust it'll wipe off with a dry cloth, I had a punch bag and used the coalbag method...works within weeks.
@eingraham81 "To each his own, however. And hey if it works, great." You said it yourself. Other people make it work, so apparently it's not "garbage". I'm for simplicity but not at all costs. 1 surefire tech, is IMO false security. I believe in the KISSNASS rule (Keep It Simple Stupid Not All Stupid Simple) over the KISS rule and that there are no quick fixes to self defence. Like the man said: you have to get off the couch and work this stuff to feel for it. I wish you luck in your pursuit.
@eingraham81 I seriously doubt that conditioning people out of the flinch response is some kind of super secret which only SPEAR (TM) have figured out how to do. Other styles have been doing it for ages. Perhaps you just need to get off the PR campaign and widen your horizons? There is always more than one solution. Blauer's stuff is good, but it's hardly the final word on H2H. People who are serious about learning useful material usually look to other versions for further inspiration.
@eingraham81 It sounds like it. Especially since the material he is demonstrating is quite similar in the sense that it's simplistic. Check the opponents arm with 1 of yours and hit him with the other... it's hardly rocket science, mate. Of course everyone has the preferences, but I strikes me as odd that you make such a claim and yet fail to understand the application of a 'salute', or 'wedge' as Janich calls it here.
It may not be that complicated for someone who wants to become a martial artist and dril, drill, drill. But for the average person just wanting to defend themselves, this is not the right answer in my opinion. Even a trained and experienced martial artist, if attacked suddenly, will flinch. That's why the SPEAR system and anything similar are so effective. Just my opinion, though.
@WUDANGMASTER Hey I just happened to notice your comment on this video clip. This guy Mike Janich has a whole library of knife fighting and knife defense. Check out "Stay Safe Media" or Paladin Press for more of his stuff. Janich is a former Army Intelligence Officer, he has some real nasty real world stuff... This guy is a trained killer. I train with the bald guy you see in the beginning of the video. Train Hard Fight Easy!
@Wavemaninawe Look bub, I'm not going to get in a pissing contest with someone over the internet. I will just say these last words and leave it at that. His stuff is far from simplistic. I've watched his stuff multible times to be sure I wasn't missing things. It's complicated for the avg person lookin for basics. It's redundant and in my opinion, just stupid. To each his own, however. And hey if it works, great. I just think it would give someone a false sense of security.
Yeah. I mean the instructor seems blunt and objective but I do not think he seems like a douche bag or someone who would get someone fired. Perhaps a behavior expectations rubric would help the employee-employer communications at that place. Seriously the videos are good. Thanks for sharing and the humor.
I hate instructors who bitch about the chambering of the hand in classical martial arts. Most arts do no use the in combat (some karate schools do it in sparring, it seems). It is done to teach Newton's law of an equal and opposite reaction. It is that simple.
+Kyosa Canuck Agreed, it's also misrepresented as it isn't necessarily chambering as much as pulling the opponent into a strike. The true bunkai is rarely taught these days.
@Wavemaninawe I'm not on a PR campaign. I said SPEAR and similar smart guy. I completely agree that people who are serious look to other places, which I always have done and still do. I just think this guys stuff is complete garbage.
This guy is a joke. Techniques are to complicated and completely ridiculous for self defense. Look into Tony Blauer's SPEAR system. Anything with that princible is what works for self defense. Why would you block the same strike 3 times before striking yourself. Self defense MUST be simple and direct. His knife stuff is ridiculous, too. Every martial art is good to a degree, doesn't mean they all really work.
That was a really cheesy beginning fight scene. lolol Stomp to the calf even to top him off. hahahaha Not knocking what you do, but that scene was just, wow. pretty unrealistic. I'm guessing you were just being funny.

This is really really good, practical, basic no frills stuff.
Even a total beginner will benefit from this. Proper stuff
This is awesome material from Mike Janich! I own many of his videos and they are top notch. Excellent quality.

He's got titles, not experience
He trained under Col. Applegate?
I was not aware of that....... That is as legit as it gets.

"Hey douche bag you just got me fired" is my fave part
ima use that at my high school reunion
Wish there would have been more on defending from knife. Great stuff

The pulling of the 'other' arm back is to replicate pulling the opponent's arm out of the way, or back, or just to open.
Very good stuff real world use also great music🥊👊🏻

the silat moves are known in brutal defense,..in basic ways the defense more also like krav maga?im just asking,...

Hmm. ... The only concept from this video that appeals is cycling. Everything else seems too dependent upon complex motor skills.
