@Conrrado Torres bro i remember a quote from the punisher, he said " when ysomeone's fight you with a knife, he's gonna cut you, expect it, accept it "
Growing up in South America as a young boy in the 70s. My Father always had a machete around the house for self defense. He also thought us how to defend ourselves if intruders decided to come and visit us uninvited. Final outcome would be, they leave with a limb missing or their life ☠️
When I was a kid living in South America. I witnessed two men fighting to the death with a machete. Forty some years later, I still have that image and know how effective a machete could take a life. Present day, I have a couple of machetes around the house, some hand guns, and finally a badass shotgun. Glad my kids and wife know how to use them incase we get an uninvited visitor(s) or ready for the zombie attacks 💀
Of course running is the first option, if you can. It's not always an option. Then what? Learn, practice, and prepare to give yourself the best odds of survival when all else fails.
The best defense against an edged weapon is a Smith& Wesson Revolver! Five shots center mass to slow them down and then the sixth shot in single action to the head in order to seal the deal!!!
First rules of machete offense is to not let any part of your body get ahead of your blade, your partners leg is sticking out. This is unsound offense. My machete has a very sharp point so my first offense is not an overhand chop. An overhand attack would be used as a feint, and the attack would either be a lateral slash or straight thrust, either of which would be fatal! Best defense is run or pull a pistol!
This is appropriate against a stick. I am actually from a place where an attack with a machete is more likely due to severe guns restriction. That is not how a machete is used . Most cuts are circular. This is extremely risky. I might work but he actually knows how to use a machete you just lost an arm.
I have seen tons of videos about defence against knife/machete attack, and I have not yet come across one that can convince me that it works in real life situations, not even Bruce Lee’s barehanded defence against a blade attacker. Most videos still have the mentality using bare hands only, I came across a titled Thai boxer coach from a rough area and a head bouncer, they both claimed they would immediately pick up something to defend themselves, and I had to agree with them wholeheartedly.
You won't always have the time to pick something up is the issue so you need to have your hands and body trained to react. The overarching point is: Train hard and you'll be more prepared than if you didn't
@@ColoradoKravMaga yeah but training hard won't prepare you against a machete, if it cuts you it cuts you, not everyone will do obvious moves and even if they do I doubt that anyone that hasn't been in that position before will react with perfect timing to defend himself, if it's a bare hand fight, train martial arts, if it's a knife fight you should train sprinting
@@ColoradoKravMaga specially the first technique, don't you think someone that is holding a machete wouldn't immediately pull it back again and cut you down to up ?
Of course multiple attackers, whether armed or unarmed, pose an exponentially more difficult situation. As with any multiple attacker scenario, movement is key. The goal is to only have to deal with 1 attacker at a time, so you'll have to move a LOT. Of course all of this assumes you have no other option.
You've never seen somebody swing a machete in anger. If you are within 21 feet and don't have good jogging shoes, you are dead, sliced and diced before you can barely say "Oh my gosh". Better move: throw your keys and pocket change in his face very quickly and then run to the next county!
That's an excellent idea but what if he's on you before you could get your keys or change? I'd rather try to use this and maybe survive than do nothing and get killed for sure. No matter how you look at it going up against an armed individual unarmed is an act of sheer desperation.
Ideally with a left handed attacker you would switch and use your right arm. But in reality, the angle of the attack carries more weight in deciding which arm to use to defend. For instance, a right handed attacker coming at your from your right side might necessitate a defense with your right arm if you're late and can't get your body turned to square off and use your left.
Hey Chris! Machetes are sharp but they aren't Starwars light sabers. The technique is meant to get in quick before more chops can happen. You're going to get hurt in a confrontation if you cant deescalate and get out. This gives you the best chance to do damage and disarm the attacker.
3 finger sounds like you did it wrong. There are no magic pills in life and death self defense, but you can learn, practice, and prepare to give yourself the best odds of survival when all else fails.
This assumes that the machete wielder is an unskilled attacker. If he's a skilled fighter who uses footwork to keep his distance, you won't reach him in time.
Good question; there are NO guarantees in self-defense and fighting. So start there. As for our best chance...if the punch to the face is strong because you train well, it'll slow down his next move and delay his fight.
@@ColoradoKravMaga You mean we must practice and get trained be strong the more skills the best defence Fighting is based on all assumptions and imaginary precautions Thanks
Ideally you should trap the weapon in your armpit, that is actually easy to do. The real issue is that your opponent still has a solid base and good center of gravity. If you use this method I would try to stop that ankle in so I could get him to the ground. It might be better to make him miss the and trap the weapon to you opponents body.
Reda; It's a given that he'll try to pull back on the machete. We mitigate the possibility of the attacker regaining the use of it by doing 3 things; 1. The overhook on the arm is actually quite strong, especially when someone is holding something in their hand. The size of the fist with the object in it also forms a bit of a 'handcuff' in the armpit. 2. We are continuously delivering violent counter attacks, forcing the attacker to choose between taking damage and focusing on getting the weapon back. 3. Although not show much in this video lesson, while we are delivering violent counter attacks, we constantly drive forward, forcing the attacker to back peddle. That makes it harder for them to get good leverage and establish a base.
We disagree with trapping the weapon in your armpit. It slides out too easily. Bursting forward and delivering immediate, constant, and violent counter attacks are meant to break his base and make him back-peddle. You may have missed it in the lesson that along with the defense comes a simultaneous punch to the face. This tends to catch them by surprise and helps break their base.
Actually, most machete attacks are exactly like this. Assuming you're standing and you see your attacker of course. www.liveleak.com/view?i=fbd_1479032895 www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1108636/Warning-Graphic-Vicious-machete-attack-cyber-cafe.html
Best to run if you can,if you can't then it's all about timing to close the distance with full commitment. But easier said than done.Too much emotions and fear will be running. Even the trained will be hesitant . But if you have no choice,then it's on.
It was a good defense but after you lock off arm with cutlass instead of going on the attack it's better to disarm the attacker first because if he pulls back his arm and gets free you're in trouble
Your control and attack in this scenario happen as simultaneously as possible preferably to the head to jar their brain to make the attacker think about something other than attacking you. We also dive in to the shoulder because we fully expect more swings if we do not catch them and the shoulder is the least moving part of their swing. You need to reset their thought process and cause damage so they either lose control of the weapon, or give you a chance to disarm.
It is a technique that can work, whoever wants to try it will have to do it as fast as possible until they beat the speed as well, I think it is a stick but a very dangerous machete if not.
I'd rather it scrape me than hack into me. The ramp allows my arm to take the damage instead of my head. It's a battle of "would you rather..." where the BEST situation is you can just run away and get out of there. Worst being you must engage this attacker and defend yourself.
@@joebiden5274 If you read the description, you'll see that we mention that you have no other choice but to make a defense. The context on 'how did he get so close to you' has nothing to do with the defense, it has to do with situational awareness and avoidance skills (both worthy of training). However, if it were that easy to avoid, no one would ever get attacked with a machete...but it happens.
Initial movement to keep from getting cut allows for only 2 options, be out of range or be inside the arc of the machete's swing/range. If you burst in initially, you'll have to use a blocking movement on the arm (not the machete of course) as opposed to a re-direction like the overhead attack in the video. If you are able to move out of range, but still close, you don't have the option of continuing to run backwards, since no one can run backwards fast enough to avoid a forward running attacker. So if you move out of range initially, you'll need to be prepared to move (burst) quickly back into very close range but using that blocking movement again as stated. We'll try to get another video up on that soon.
As I stated in the video here, you really only have 3 options: 1) Be out of range. 2) Be inside of the swing. 3) Get hit by the machete. I think we all agree #3 sucks. #1 can be accomplished but for how long? Moving backwards is never as fast as someone else moving forwards. Of course if you have time and distance you can always run away, and we NEVER advocate making a defense if you can actually run away first. Not to mention, if you are out of range and run away, there is no defense to be made. So #2 is the answer to your question. We'll try to post a video on this in the near future.
Any angle of swing is dangerous and difficult to defend to begin with. An upward angle is less likely and will have somewhat less power behind it, but still very dangerous. The same "principle" of redirection can apply here, but your outside hand/arm will have to come across to help protect your head/neck since the momentum is upward therefore any redirection that the attacker follows through with will continue upward. This is assuming the angle of attack is closer to vertical than horizontal. The best chance for success in ANY machete attack is to burst in close, inside the power arch of the weapon, and damage the attacker early and often.
@@IshmaelHonore once you've defended the immediate threat, almost any force multiplier (weapon) that you posses will be better than not. However, you will still need to keep control of that arm that's holding the machette. Facing multiple opponents is always a problem, machette or not. Your chances of success are dramatically reduced. BUT, if you had to do something, once you defended against the 1st person with the machette, you need to use them to "stack" the attackers (use the 1st as a shield of sorts) just long enough for you to take the machette from them. Then finish them and use the machette to defend against the other attacker(s). NONE of this is easy or guaranteed to keep you safe. Accessing a FIREARM is your best defense if you can't run away.
@@ColoradoKravMaga Thanks a milliom for the reply will keep it in mind i guess using what ever weapons you have effective and fast could increase chances of survival but wouldnt stop chances of getting injured
If you have his arm trapped at the wrist properly, it will be difficult (but not impossible) to draw it back. Add to that the fact that you are delivering strong solid strikes all the while, it makes it harder. Now, if you somehow have trapped the blade instead of the arm/wrist, then it will come out. It might or might not slice you on the way out since it's flattened, though you'll have to get your forearm out from below it. The key here though is to destroy the attacker with strikes. At some point, you could sweep or throw to ground the attacker and get away.
Sir. Thanks for the video but you clearly have no single idea about machete fights or even have seen one. If you face someone with machete then believe me RUN AWAY.
LOL of course you should run away, IF you can. So what's your answer if you're trapped or can't run because it's a surprise attack or you have the responsibility of defending someon else like your child. I guess YOU would run away and leave your child to die. Other people prefer to have an option.
We never said a machete is not more dangerous than a stick. What we said is that the attack itself, the motion and angle, is similar. So we have a similar approach to defending it. The only difference is that against a stick you are safer if you DON'T get "inside" the arc as much. Against the machete, you really want to be far inside. Hope this helps clear things up for you.
When he hits the machette try a SLIDING DOGDE backwards . If you can grab an object such as a dustbin lid , bar chair etc use that to ward off the attack ..... or run. We`ve got some movies on knife defence on our channel. Good luck and stay safe .
Good content, you can really do some damage in certain situations with this knowledge. Ideally you want to use your flight response and take off, but in a fight situation this gives you a chance. If you know the arts well you can actually cause more damage then the attacker.
To all of your detractors....A person who practices is prepared ( on speed dial) A person who reacts gets jacked. It's all about practice u practice it until becomes innate!
Yo que he practicado artes marciales y deportes de contacto así como esgrima con machete te lo diré ni en pedo logras entrenar los suficiente, yo veo que alguien trae corvo (machete), ni de broma le entró a los vergazos, ya lo hice solo en una ocasión lo he hecho y mano logré derribarlo y desarmarlo y aún así salí herido tengo un corte en la pierna como prueba, pues resulta que mientras forcejeaba para hacer el derribo de costado ( clásico en lucha grecorromana) roce con la punta del corvo eso fue suficiente para causarme un corte amigo que si me asusto, ya que si bien las técnicas funcionaron el daño siempre se recibirá tal vez no de la forma ultra violenta que tendría que ser pero siempre te hieren por lo que mejor al verlo de lejos salir de ahí lo más antes posible o empezar a arrojarle piedras o lo que agarres.
This is obviously for last resort self-defense. Run, have a weapon of ur own etc. Otherwise, yea, this is all you got left. Similar to the wedge technique of the Pramek system...
Can you do that in an actual combat? You haven't been in an actual fight man,i cod tell,, the best way to protect yourself if some has a sword is to get away from that guy as far as you cod..
A good messer type wielder would not make such telegraphed attacks in real life. They would adopt a more long-point position and snipe at you from there, and all the knife/dagger defences unarmed will end up losing your hands or end up running into the machete as you are rushing in to arm wrap. Note: the attacker isn't using an ice-pick dagger grip, but the conventional one.
Total nonsense. Even the fighters in special commando groups say that in the fight against sharp tools there is a significant risk of serious injuries even for a professional. The best is to avoid such a fight or surprise attack before the opponent but it still does not give 100% certainty. A lasting room is not a mission on the battlefield. Nonsense.
Very risky. Better to step forward on either side of the attacker to prevent yourself from being injured while pushing the arm holding the weapon away so you can either counter with knee or wrap your arm around the weapon.
It's a tough defense to make. We try to make as close to simultaneous counter attack as possible to get their attention off the weapon and onto "Ow my face"
Why not just move back when he strikes then it’s like reload time it takes some time to reload the weapon so then you can hit em in the head and grab the weapon
Mister , or Master I'm perplex. What you say makes totally sense, it's good, but while I check videos about street fight with machetes I never ever see none making a whole swing like that, using his full arm lenght.They come closer more than keeping themselves out of reech. So to pass the guard seems much complicated. You showed a quasi ideal machete strike, I would say, but in those fights, they allways are much shorter (and obviously quicker). So How to pass threw it in that situation ?
In the video we do talk about 'short stroking' the swing and the problems that it may cause. There are no perfect answers but this method can limit, not eliminate, damage.
drh kleinert Open offer to come to any of our training centers and take one of our expert level classes and then perhaps see if we teach only against a perfect single attack. We'll use the shocknives, as we do often. Ask for James.
Correct. This stuff is completely unrealistic. I’m a fencer,… without a good counter weapon, there’s absolutely NO CHANCE to defend oneself from a large bladed weapon.
Scusa che film ti sei visto in questi giorni disarmare un machete, siamo alla follia. Poi in giro per il web trovi anche disarmare un arma da fuoco e allora siamo proprio alla follia più totale....la vita non è un film....
Professional bolo users here in the Philippines do not use bolo to stab vertically, it is always horizontal.. So this defense won't work here. You're gonna lose an arm if you do this.
You'd be lucky to find anyone who holds a machete like that let alone uses it like that. You also seem to believe unrealistically that you can step in faster than a person can strike with their hands....you wouldn't be teaching this against hammer fist or punches. More than likely the sword is going to sit out in front and is going to be wiggled (flailed more accurately) in your face really quickly. If you present the outside of your arm it's going to hack into it. You'd have to be fighting someone who's been taught bullshido to really find yourself in the situation in the video. Another thing is the person might themselves be afraid to get in range and use the sword as a point you're not allowed to cross. I'm not sure of what is an effective way to get inside (why would you want to try?) but this isn't it...you also ignored their other arm.
If somebody is trained in the use of the machete or sword and gets within striking distance you're dead no matter what. Wild swings to the head is the way an untrained individual would attack with a baseball bat or machete. People who train in arts like kali, silat or any other weapon based system will not attack you with blades unless you try to take their life or threaten their family. The same defense (more or less) is taught by Lee Morrison of Urban Combatives, a renowned expert in the field of self-protection. If you can't escape this is the way to try to get in and minimize the damage. There are no perfect answers to this type of life or death situations: even if you carry a gun and can get it on target quick enough you could still get killed if you can't evade his attack at the same time. How do you know how a sword will 'most likely' be used? Did you study crime statistics and reports relating to machete attacks? If so please write a detailed analysis and publish it so we can all learn from it.
If you are in the streets run as fast as you can. If you are surprized an being attack your best option is this technique. Specially if you have a loved one or your kid next to you, common sense you want to be ready to protect them. Also their is no magic pill any martial art or fighting technique that will guarantee you to be a immortal fighting machine, but at least you increase your chances to come out alive in a life or death situation. Rather be prepared than clueless an get hammered to death. An one thing no one can be 100% aware nobody is going to be paranoid after training thousands of hours. Anyone can get surprized at any moment. If your going to critize this fighting technique Krav Maga has to offer. Well I suggest you train your running skills. Buy yourself a pair of Nikes and hit the park an increase your running speed & endurance. That's all folks take care.
The best defense is running as fast as you can ....i mean come on give me a break... even a black belter will think twice before he fight somebody with machete and you nothing... you must be crazy master....
Crazy like a fox :) Of course you should run away, but in close range you'll just be getting sliced from behind when you try to run. What if you can't run? what if you're cornered? what if you HAVE to make a defense? More than happy to critique your video on your defense and have a healthy debate on it if you can link to it or describe it.
LOL "black belter" that's funny. But thanks for calling me 'master', though I don't prescribe to those types of titles. So if you can't run, you should just die? I prefer to at least train and prepare for other options.
Con un bate hecho de metal si te creo que puedes defenderte contra alguien con machete pero sin nada es imposible que puedas llegar tan rápido para detener el brazo del atacante porque el machete avanza tan rápido I no creo que puedas reaccionar en menos de un segundo.

Abu khalid Well said.
all fun and game till he throw the machete at you
It was a good defense but after you lock off arm with cutlass instead of going on the attack it's better to disarm the attacker first because if he pulls back his arm and gets free you're in trouble
Your control and attack in this scenario happen as simultaneously as possible preferably to the head to jar their brain to make the attacker think about something other than attacking you.
We also dive in to the shoulder because we fully expect more swings if we do not catch them and the shoulder is the least moving part of their swing.
You need to reset their thought process and cause damage so they either lose control of the weapon, or give you a chance to disarm.
It is a technique that can work, whoever wants to try it will have to do it as fast as possible until they beat the speed as well, I think it is a stick but a very dangerous machete if not.
I dont believe that move will save you...
"building a ramp with my arm" it's a f*cking machete. it's gonna rip my arm to shreds
I'd rather it scrape me than hack into me. The ramp allows my arm to take the damage instead of my head. It's a battle of "would you rather..." where the BEST situation is you can just run away and get out of there. Worst being you must engage this attacker and defend yourself.
@@ColoradoKravMaga why would you let a guy holding a machete approach you in the first place. where's he gonna hide it?
@@joebiden5274 If you read the description, you'll see that we mention that you have no other choice but to make a defense. The context on 'how did he get so close to you' has nothing to do with the defense, it has to do with situational awareness and avoidance skills (both worthy of training).
However, if it were that easy to avoid, no one would ever get attacked with a machete...but it happens.
How to defend if attacks by cross movements ! I meant right-left instead of up-down
Initial movement to keep from getting cut allows for only 2 options, be out of range or be inside the arc of the machete's swing/range. If you burst in initially, you'll have to use a blocking movement on the arm (not the machete of course) as opposed to a re-direction like the overhead attack in the video.
If you are able to move out of range, but still close, you don't have the option of continuing to run backwards, since no one can run backwards fast enough to avoid a forward running attacker. So if you move out of range initially, you'll need to be prepared to move (burst) quickly back into very close range but using that blocking movement again as stated. We'll try to get another video up on that soon.
As I stated in the video here, you really only have 3 options: 1) Be out of range. 2) Be inside of the swing. 3) Get hit by the machete.
I think we all agree #3 sucks.
#1 can be accomplished but for how long? Moving backwards is never as fast as someone else moving forwards. Of course if you have time and distance you can always run away, and we NEVER advocate making a defense if you can actually run away first. Not to mention, if you are out of range and run away, there is no defense to be made.
So #2 is the answer to your question. We'll try to post a video on this in the near future.
The best self defense is run 🏃 faster as u can
Then come back with machetes
He can throw the machete
@@varnaksingh if he miss?
@@Maxx9878 if he hits?
@@varnaksingh if it hits in the arm?
What if he swipes upwards?
Any angle of swing is dangerous and difficult to defend to begin with.
An upward angle is less likely and will have somewhat less power behind it, but still very dangerous.
The same "principle" of redirection can apply here, but your outside hand/arm will have to come across to help protect your head/neck since the momentum is upward therefore any redirection that the attacker follows through with will continue upward.
This is assuming the angle of attack is closer to vertical than horizontal.
The best chance for success in ANY machete attack is to burst in close, inside the power arch of the weapon, and damage the attacker early and often.
If you are in this situation, please first option run, don’t fight
Only if you don have any other option!
He will be the first guy to run when facing a real time machete attack.
Absolutely I will. It's the most prudent thing to do. But if for any reason I can NOT run, I will do whatever I can to survive.
@@coloradokravmagaonline5166 Respect 👏
Best thing is to find something that is long and hard like a iron bar because it will create distense
Of course any distance weapon is preferred! this lesson was presented for 'when there are no other options'.
@@ColoradoKravMaga can a knife or meat cleaver be a good counter once you get close to the machette user and what if you are facing at least 2 or 3
@@IshmaelHonore once you've defended the immediate threat, almost any force multiplier (weapon) that you posses will be better than not. However, you will still need to keep control of that arm that's holding the machette.
Facing multiple opponents is always a problem, machette or not. Your chances of success are dramatically reduced. BUT, if you had to do something, once you defended against the 1st person with the machette, you need to use them to "stack" the attackers (use the 1st as a shield of sorts) just long enough for you to take the machette from them. Then finish them and use the machette to defend against the other attacker(s). NONE of this is easy or guaranteed to keep you safe. Accessing a FIREARM is your best defense if you can't run away.
@@ColoradoKravMaga Thanks a milliom for the reply will keep it in mind i guess using what ever weapons you have effective and fast could increase chances of survival but wouldnt stop chances of getting injured
What if he pulls back with machete into a drawcut?
If you have his arm trapped at the wrist properly, it will be difficult (but not impossible) to draw it back. Add to that the fact that you are delivering strong solid strikes all the while, it makes it harder.
Now, if you somehow have trapped the blade instead of the arm/wrist, then it will come out. It might or might not slice you on the way out since it's flattened, though you'll have to get your forearm out from below it.
The key here though is to destroy the attacker with strikes.
At some point, you could sweep or throw to ground the attacker and get away.
The only successful defense against a machete attack:
is an offensive attack, with two machetes.
Sir. Thanks for the video but you clearly have no single idea about machete fights or even have seen one. If you face someone with machete then believe me RUN AWAY.
LOL of course you should run away, IF you can.
So what's your answer if you're trapped or can't run because it's a surprise attack or you have the responsibility of defending someon else like your child.
I guess YOU would run away and leave your child to die. Other people prefer to have an option.
So a machete attack is no more dangerous than a stick and can be countered with he same defence ? Hard to believe that, sorry.
We never said a machete is not more dangerous than a stick. What we said is that the attack itself, the motion and angle, is similar. So we have a similar approach to defending it. The only difference is that against a stick you are safer if you DON'T get "inside" the arc as much. Against the machete, you really want to be far inside. Hope this helps clear things up for you.
YOU GONNA LOSE A ARM TRYING TO BLOCK A MACHETTE RUN AWAY AND FIND AN EQUALIZER DEFENSE WEAPON
When he hits the machette try a SLIDING DOGDE backwards . If you can grab an object such as a dustbin lid , bar chair etc use that to ward off the attack ..... or run. We`ve got some movies on knife defence on our channel. Good luck and stay safe .
Brilliant technic really in real attacks things are different faster and unpredictable but still brilliant technic that can save your life thanks
Good content, you can really do some damage in certain situations with this knowledge. Ideally you want to use your flight response and take off, but in a fight situation this gives you a chance. If you know the arts well you can actually cause more damage then the attacker.
Thank you
You're welcome
Nah,I'll run away like the flash.
To all of your detractors....A person who practices is prepared ( on speed dial) A person who reacts gets jacked. It's all about practice u practice it until becomes innate!
Yo que he practicado artes marciales y deportes de contacto así como esgrima con machete te lo diré ni en pedo logras entrenar los suficiente, yo veo que alguien trae corvo (machete), ni de broma le entró a los vergazos, ya lo hice solo en una ocasión lo he hecho y mano logré derribarlo y desarmarlo y aún así salí herido tengo un corte en la pierna como prueba, pues resulta que mientras forcejeaba para hacer el derribo de costado ( clásico en lucha grecorromana) roce con la punta del corvo eso fue suficiente para causarme un corte amigo que si me asusto, ya que si bien las técnicas funcionaron el daño siempre se recibirá tal vez no de la forma ultra violenta que tendría que ser pero siempre te hieren por lo que mejor al verlo de lejos salir de ahí lo más antes posible o empezar a arrojarle piedras o lo que agarres.
This is obviously for last resort self-defense. Run, have a weapon of ur own etc. Otherwise, yea, this is all you got left. Similar to the wedge technique of the Pramek system...
Please i want to know if he attacks directly in stomach?
If you mean as in a 'straight stab' to the stomach? We''re putting together a follow up video that will include that.
Just bring a reverse uno card
A machete will take your whole arm off. I've seen it done. You cannot be faster than a machete, is like lighting.
So if you can't run, you should just die? I prefer to at least train and prepare for other options.
edgar shut the fuck up did you tried?
Maybe if u have a baseball bat or good at running u might have chance to survive
Can you do that in an actual combat?
You haven't been in an actual fight man,i cod tell,,
the best way to protect yourself if some has a sword is to get away from that guy as far as you cod..
A good messer type wielder would not make such telegraphed attacks in real life. They would adopt a more long-point position and snipe at you from there, and all the knife/dagger defences unarmed will end up losing your hands or end up running into the machete as you are rushing in to arm wrap. Note: the attacker isn't using an ice-pick dagger grip, but the conventional one.
He won't be slow motion it when he attacks. You better run boy.
I wish I could still do Krav Maga.
The best way is run
This video lesson assumes that you cannot run and therefor have to make a defense.
Total nonsense. Even the fighters in special commando groups say that in the fight against sharp tools there is a significant risk of serious injuries even for a professional. The best is to avoid such a fight or surprise attack before the opponent but it still does not give 100% certainty. A lasting room is not a mission on the battlefield. Nonsense.
Very risky. Better to step forward on either side of the attacker to prevent yourself from being injured while pushing the arm holding the weapon away so you can either counter with knee or wrap your arm around the weapon.
May be someday I learned this machete defense..
Are you nuts? Attack the object that controls the weapon...the brain. Control the arm then attach the head.
It's a tough defense to make. We try to make as close to simultaneous counter attack as possible to get their attention off the weapon and onto "Ow my face"
Great skills sir
Why not just move back when he strikes then it’s like reload time it takes some time to reload the weapon so then you can hit em in the head and grab the weapon
Here in my country, they jack a bike using Machete, or Sickle, or Tanto.
Mister , or Master
I'm perplex. What you say makes totally sense, it's good, but while I check videos about street fight with machetes I never ever see none making a whole swing like that, using his full arm lenght.They come closer more than keeping themselves out of reech. So to pass the guard seems much complicated. You showed a quasi ideal machete strike, I would say, but in those fights, they allways are much shorter (and obviously quicker).
So How to pass threw it in that situation ?
In the video we do talk about 'short stroking' the swing and the problems that it may cause. There are no perfect answers but this method can limit, not eliminate, damage.
drh kleinert
Open offer to come to any of our training centers and take one of our expert level classes and then perhaps see if we teach only against a perfect single attack. We'll use the shocknives, as we do often. Ask for James.
Just be a hero and run away as fast as you can.
Thanks for the tutorial.
You're welcome!
Nice
Thank you Lucino
get low get low
100%! Agree! as long as you're bursting forward and in, low could help!
@@coloradokravmagaonline5166 yup like a rugby charge...run straight through him till he falls back
In my country a girl's neck was chopped off by her crazy ex.....I wish women were able to defend themselves better where I live.
Correct.
This stuff is completely unrealistic.
I’m a fencer,… without a good counter weapon, there’s absolutely NO CHANCE to defend oneself from a large bladed weapon.
run like a fckn deer that will be the best defense lol
Great demonstration of machete disarm techniques
Thanks 👍
Scusa che film ti sei visto in questi giorni disarmare un machete, siamo alla follia. Poi in giro per il web trovi anche disarmare un arma da fuoco e allora siamo proprio alla follia più totale....la vita non è un film....
I was recently attack. By a man with a machete. I wow , he died. My rule only mine !!!!! Rush in and kill
In your dreams.
I like that guy's legs wearing the shorts.
There is more than one different angles he could use the matcha so would I get away from it
Professional bolo users here in the Philippines do not use bolo to stab vertically, it is always horizontal.. So this defense won't work here. You're gonna lose an arm if you do this.
Agreed, this defense is NOT for a horizontal swing. Different defense,
You'd be lucky to find anyone who holds a machete like that let alone uses it like that. You also seem to believe unrealistically that you can step in faster than a person can strike with their hands....you wouldn't be teaching this against hammer fist or punches.
More than likely the sword is going to sit out in front and is going to be wiggled (flailed more accurately) in your face really quickly. If you present the outside of your arm it's going to hack into it. You'd have to be fighting someone who's been taught bullshido to really find yourself in the situation in the video. Another thing is the person might themselves be afraid to get in range and use the sword as a point you're not allowed to cross. I'm not sure of what is an effective way to get inside (why would you want to try?) but this isn't it...you also ignored their other arm.
If somebody is trained in the use of the machete or sword and gets within striking distance you're dead no matter what. Wild swings to the head is the way an untrained individual would attack with a baseball bat or machete. People who train in arts like kali, silat or any other weapon based system will not attack you with blades unless you try to take their life or threaten their family.
The same defense (more or less) is taught by Lee Morrison of Urban Combatives, a renowned expert in the field of self-protection. If you can't escape this is the way to try to get in and minimize the damage. There are no perfect answers to this type of life or death situations: even if you carry a gun and can get it on target quick enough you could still get killed if you can't evade his attack at the same time.
How do you know how a sword will 'most likely' be used? Did you study crime statistics and reports relating to machete attacks? If so please write a detailed analysis and publish it so we can all learn from it.
¿O sea que es imposible defenderse de un machete?
No, solo tienes que ser muy rápido.
Just theory not used for real fight
If you are in the streets run as fast as you can. If you are surprized an being attack your best option is this technique. Specially if you have a loved one or your kid next to you, common sense you want to be ready to protect them. Also their is no magic pill any martial art or fighting technique that will guarantee you to be a immortal fighting machine, but at least you increase your chances to come out alive in a life or death situation. Rather be prepared than clueless an get hammered to death. An one thing no one can be 100% aware nobody is going to be paranoid after training thousands of hours. Anyone can get surprized at any moment. If your going to critize this fighting technique Krav Maga has to offer. Well I suggest you train your running skills. Buy yourself a pair of Nikes and hit the park an increase your running speed & endurance. That's all folks take care.
Appreciate you! Train train train! That's the only way to increase your chance of survival. Nikes + Cardio + Drill the defense :D
Run run run
Yup! If you can run, always run!
The most realistic and effective self defence technique against machete👌👌👍👍🥊🥊🙏🙏🥋🥋
The best defense is running as fast as you can ....i mean come on give me a break... even a black belter will think twice before he fight somebody with machete and you nothing... you must be crazy master....
Crazy like a fox :) Of course you should run away, but in close range you'll just be getting sliced from behind when you try to run. What if you can't run? what if you're cornered? what if you HAVE to make a defense?
More than happy to critique your video on your defense and have a healthy debate on it if you can link to it or describe it.
LOL "black belter" that's funny. But thanks for calling me 'master', though I don't prescribe to those types of titles.
So if you can't run, you should just die? I prefer to at least train and prepare for other options.
Distance is sometimes the best option.
A gun is the best option
The key word is to run....
YOU GOTTA grab the wrist and then rotate to the right
Con un bate hecho de metal si te creo que puedes defenderte contra alguien con machete pero sin nada es imposible que puedas llegar tan rápido para detener el brazo del atacante porque el machete avanza tan rápido I no creo que puedas reaccionar en menos de un segundo.
😂 "I carry machete with me "
Never hurt to be prepared :)
This fool won't defend against me
Thanks for sharing
