Yoiu dont spar in a street fight sparring is an excercise it is not real fighting. If you think a partial artist is superior to a street fighter mugger etc. Dont get in a real fight you lose
@@dragan3290 Sorry, but full contact fights like Kyo, K1 or Muay Thai are still useless. In a real fight there are no any kind of rules unlike those full contact martial arts. In a real fight you could be killed by a punch on your neck or by a strike on your heart with knife just in a moment...
@@heyho77747 the full contact sparring helped with knowing if I'm hurting someone for real. In steal situation, an aggressive person was mouthing off in road rage . A light open handed strike to the hollow of his throat. He started coughing. I got In my car and off I went
I have been watching your content for years and I really appreciate it. I'm old and pretty unlikely to ever get in another fight, but it doesn't mean I'm not open to continual learning. Lots of people don't even make the distinction between gross motor skills and fine motor skills when talking about self-defense.
And again, it all comes down to real sparing. Sparing is what makes you used to the stress of fighting, to the adrenaline rush. By sparing you develop self-confidence in your fighting skill, helping you to keep cool so you can use your fine motor skills.
I d say its different levels, the moves in the air / on the bag or on the mis / sparring / hard sparring / fight. at every level you loose lets say 50% of whats working until you have few things working when fighting and you restart from the first level to built on it and develop your game.. I ve seen so many people being super good at light sparring and when it start to be hard sparring or fight they are not made for it! fight is brutal, you have to be ready for it or you better keep sparring at the gym
If the sparring isn`t full contact, then you might as well not. It`s one thing to punch or kick a stationary object like a pad, but the practice of delivering a fight stopping blow to an opponent is much different. You have to gage distance and timing on a moving target that doesn`t want to be hit, and that is also trying to hit you, and hit you as hard as it can. If you only spar with light contact, then that is actually detrimental to developing the skill of really stopping someone in a real fight, because you don`t learn to deliver the right kind of blow to your opponent. Luckily, when I trained karate, our sensei was a bit of an animal and loved to see his students go full contact, whether or not that was the right thing for him to do, but we didn`t care, because we loved going hell for leather on each other. This is when I learnt that what I was learning was effective, because one time I was being out punched by a guy who was punching with all their might and speed, he had a slightly longer reach, so it gave him the edge in that regard, so I stepped back, spun, and delivered a spinning back kick to the rib cage, and the full contact sparring session was over, he was on his knees gasping for breath for around 5 minutes. He said he didn`t even see it coming, only that I had turned my back to him, guys don`t usually concentrate on what you`re doing when they`re focused on taking your head off, it`s a counter punchers dream. That was a long time ago and I haven`t trained in years, so I`m good for nothing now lol. But the point is, you must be willing to spar full contact, to give someone a wallop and to take one, or you`ll be useless in a real life situation with all the aggression that`s involved. It`s the only way you know that all you`re training is effective.
Basically saying focus on spending your (limited) training time developing real proficiency in a handful of money-moves with broader practical applications rather than many complex moves with more limited specialized/niche applications.
the problem with most people who train in martial arts for self defence is they have a defensive mindset. They focus on if my attacker throws this than I will do this and they are pretty much sending out signals to a attacker to come and attack but when you switch to a agressive mindset that if someone threatens you your going to unleash hell on them than the fear of being attacked is gone and an attacker will only attack those who reak on fear . So in conclusion it's not about techniques but the proper psychology that matters.
What you say is spot on. I try telling people this but they just don’t get it. A lot of people seem to think that this means that you shouldn’t wast time practicing techniques, which is completely wrong. You should train techniques, but when it comes to a real fight, the most important thing is to have an attacking mindset. To have defense without being defensive. Waiting for an enemy to launch an attack, reading the attack, choosing an appropriate counter, and then launching that counter is obviously worse than useless in a violent encounter. Anyone who has been in a real fight will know that this is true
Very true but this is why we spar with one another. Sparing should be part of all hand to hand training no matter what the style. Not only does it teach offensive posture but it also hones our number one rule...”always expect the unexpected”.
James Murphy That’s not ridiculous it’s not like he’s hurting him, both of them are having fun after all. Also, if he went easier on him it would like he doesn’t know what he’s doing, and I bet his student would rather have him going hard on him instead of easy since that way he will benefit more from that.
The best way to avoid a fight in a club is to stay near a good bouncer. Buy him a drink. If you have a problem with someone, ask the bouncer to help you. That is what he is there for. If there are no bouncers in a dodgy club get out of there.
Years ago I've done several years of karate, a bit of aikido, etc, and I haven't pursued it for awhile....but your videos are so much fun and you have such a great personality. And of course, I learn a heck of a lot!
One of the most well presented channels on youtube. Straight to the point, very easy to listen to, great advice and very very likable presenters. Fantastic work.
I tend to agree that the average person can't perform under the pressure of adrenaline, I used to have the same problem in my younger years. Experience with violence and repetition over time gave me a unique skill, I found i was no longer fearful and i hardly even feel my heart rate go up now when dealing with violence and I'm now able to use fine motor skills as well as gross under pressure. I'm trained in martial arts (ninjutsu,aikido,judo, as well as some systema) as well as combatives (raw combat/raw silat) and I'm a doorman at a rough bar in my neck of the woods. The point is the more you deal with something or rather the more you do something the easier it becomes to do calmly, I've personally spent hundreds of hours training and I've dealt with hundreds of violent situations over the past decade and a half (by no means do I recommend my lifestyle either lol I've paid dearly for it in more ways than one) but in my experience the most important aspect of training and experience is learning how to remain calm and control your adrenal response and channel it, it is more crucial than any technique, nearly anybody can be taught how to strike or submit eye gouge headbutt, choke or lock limbs but training to stay calm is an area neglected in a lot of training in my opinion. Great video though really enjoyed it and fully agree with you sir!
When you experience fights often then it becomes easier to think. First time I got into a fight I barely remember anything from it. All I know we started and then we were done. Second fight I could remember more but I couldn’t control my actions
Integrating deep breathing into my day, to day life. I.e. Driving, walking the dog, getting it on with your girl... implementing intentional diaphragm breath, breath holds, and controlled exhales has been a fantastic way to give myself an edge. The idea of being conscious of your state, your environment, charging your Mitochondria, and leaning to breathe evenly when stressed is life changing.
I love your videos; however, I’ve been training martial arts for 30 + years & have had 3 guns & 2 knives pulled on me, as well as 2 sucker punches (I didn’t know we were fighting until I got hit) - both sucker punches were straight rights from guys who definitely knew how to box. I think it’s a mistake to underestimate the opponent. Prepare for a good fighter bigger faster and stronger than us.
True, usually someone attack because they are pretty sure they can fuck the heck out of you OR they're lose control of their temper. Which both can be hard to identify in a second, unless you're pretty sure that they are just angry af it's probably safe to fight back. if you are not sure what the motive is then running away is always an option
Ppl who box especially those who are professional but not famous or those who has had moderate training and aren’t novice tend to wanna fight more simply cuz they wanna try out what they learn in the ring on an attacker. From what I saw, based on my friends and bro in law who are professional boxers, they never initiate the confrontation but they do stick around to finish it up lol
Thanks Sifu Mark- you are really onto something with that important idea: the chances of getting into a confrontation with a really trained or pro fighter are slim to none. If it's not worth their while and they defuse or de-escalate and walk away, why would be worth our while even as a (hard-training) amateur fighter? (Arnis, TKD, Bagua) That puts anything in the street as a have to fight situation only if there is no way to walk away or avoid it. It's absolutely not cowardice - I have actually won 100% of the fights I haven't had. It feels good to be undefeated. Let's say it goes the other way- I wreck some random a**hole in the street- guess what? I'm likely going to get a knock on the door from the cops. I will probably have to go to court. When I'm in court, that guy is going to roll in on a wheelchair smirking away... it's going to cost me serious time and money to get it straightened out as self defense. This will be a challenge if it comes to light that I have trained a lot... They'll argue that I or any trained person has a "duty of care" to use restraint.....oho boy. The more training = the less fighting in the street.
I remember learning Systema for the first time from an instructor who used to teach me kickboxing and grappling. I was 19 at that time and was very green in the world of self defence and martial arts. My instructor taught me the concept of going with the flow in Systema and being fluid - working less with more efficiency.
Be aware that the other person may have a knife, baton, or gun. Wearing thick leather jacket, helmut, steel-toe leather boots, padded leather gloves that fully cover the wrist and/or bullet-proof under-armour may save your life. It is very good to train with the writhing motions of a dragon to counter-attack the attacks of the opponent. Pepper spray is effective to blind the attacker to get away from the danger. One cannot fight if one cannot see. One can also use words to decrease the conflict. "Sorry" is a good word to use as a defense weapon to stop the fight from escalating.
This is why full contact sparring is important and should be a main focus in training, not something that you do once in a blue moon, in my opinion it should make up the majority of a training session (EDIT: This also includes sparring drills and exercises). In sparring you're going to be using techniques that are simpler to execute that have a high rate of protection or making contact.
Absolutely not. This will only lead to you getting sloppy, creating huge holes in your skills and fundamentals, and ultimately slowing down your progress immensely. Take a technique, a skill, a tool, work it slowly and deliberately, increase speed and intensity, drill it alone, then with a partner, faster and faster, and THEN do your sparring trying to integrate it. I guarantee you, anyone who's good at something got there like this. Doesn't matter the skill, it applies to everything.
Imagine sending your children to a school that said, "We don't waste time on the lessons. We just take tests every day." Or the opposite, "We do lessons but we never take tests." You have to decide on your own ratio, but I believe in drilling five times, and taking a test (heavy contact/resistance). Evaluate, adjust, drill five more times and take another test.
I agree but I'm in my 50s and believe me...unless you're making tons of money with fighting...getting punched in the head alot full contact sparring isnt the best thing to do in my opinion...but if it works for you then bless your heart....you're a beast. Be careful.
@@paksau1 Sometimes full contact sparring isn't the right approach especially if you have a disorder like epilepsy. Intensity is important and so is going through drill work. You can do both of these without getting hit in the head, focusing more on body shots in sparring while maintaining a high guard.
It took me years to get those fine motor movements down to the point I could realistically use them in a fight. And I still prefer more gross movements.
Nice clip on what typically happens in a street fight...the adrenaline kicks in, a wild flurry of punches, someone gets lucky and connects and its over typically under 30 seconds. Practice under duress, understand the adrenaline and your body reacts, learn how to cover and clinch, how to pick your spots.
I think I was about 3 years into a formal Martial Arts training before I realized I was only being trained to fight my own styles version of attacks. Nobody just grabbed me with one hand and started punching over and over and over with the other as hard as they possibly could. Or shot a hard double leg. Or swung a huge overhand right, or attacked with an ice pick grip with a knife like the majority of real attackers will as they just crash into you with their whole body with no attempt at control. We used to joke that the worse people to spar with were green belts, they had just enough techniques and just enough lack of control to be really dangerous. But thats really what we should have been training for.
I've become known for fighting in my town, i have a low skill level, but still smash peoples faces. Overhands, hammerfists, headbutts, knees, shirt grabs etc. You don't need good fighting skills to win a street fight, you need the basics. The most important things are mindset, aggression and situation avareness. Knowing when the fight has started, being willing to punch, and punching is what will bring the Victory.
Very true. In a high tension situation all fine motor skills go out the window. For example when you're driving you can make super fine adjustments, but as soon as a car darts in front of you and you get scared of crashing you start making large, crude movements with the steering wheel
Loved the vid. This is so crucial. In my first street fight i got hit in the face from a guy i could take to the cleaners anyday and me faster than him and some karate skills. What threw me was 1. Anger. 2. He and 2 of his brothers coming at me from 3 sides.
Yeah, while in a real street fight, There is no referees or any rules you have to respect or think about while in that fight, its all adrenaline and mix emotions like anger during that fight, and your damn sure your opponent knows that too, like example; sure you might be a black belt in karate or a master at some Dojo, but in a street fights, you'll get a bit sloppy and messy with your hits, but its ok, because no matter how calm a person you are, in a real fight, our natural instincts will eventually kick in
Simple things works, because simple things are easier to perform under stress, when brain does not work, and only our low level reflexes (hopefully refined by some training) kick in. At the very least, we just wildly flail around, or run away, or just scream. Got it. Excellent points, btw! Watching MMA fighters fight full contact, what usually works is rather simple, non-flashy and non-fancy. That's why, big, strong, heavy and resilient fighters are those that usually survive. Great points! Thank you!
this so true! i was amazed when i 1st saw someone teaching morning kungfu at the park get into a fight. not a single kungfu move was seen through out the entire fight. all me and my friends saw was an old fashioned full swings. then me my friends teased each other saying 'gadamn! i never knew we already know kungfu!'. on my personal experience, it seems its the rage, anger, that takes over. together with being nervous scared all rolled into one feeling in that moment. now i can say with some degree that i'm able to control it in a certain degree and be able to focus on what to do in a fight. it also involves a lot of running.
Does kicking involve more gross motor function than punching? - for example, if you end up turning your back to your opponent, but then taking the opportunity to do a spinning back or side kick. Then chances are you'll miss as you won't have the target in your mind. But if you do a quick jab with your hand before doing a spinning back kick, then you'll be much more likely to hit your target as your jab with your hand prior helps you mentally place your target in reference to your body - we seem to have better hand to eye co-ordination than foot to eye co-ordination. Perhaps because in the brain the hands and eyes are mapped very closely located to each other in the motor sensory cortex. I am assuming therefore by "gross" you actually mean "groinal" - LOL as our feet (along with a general map of our bodies) are located very close to our groin in the motor sensory cortex of our brains! - gross motor action is basically cock fighting LOL xD
I agree with this guy. Most people walking the streets have no martial arts skills. I have seen fights and guys are drinking and the guy swings the big round house punch. I have trained numerous years in escrima, goshin jujitsu, wing chun, kempo, and lau. I see that big round and l step out par the strike and attack the head,neck, and kidneys and back of knees. I have drilled that right hand punch a thousands times and l just react. I don't think about my reaction it just comes out. You can think in a fight you must react without thinking.
Man, it is truly impressive how fast you move with close combat , I wish I knew that when I worked as a driver in public transportation when dealing with violent, belligerent people. 👍🏻
That's why we must keep calm, that's hard to do, I know, I've experienced it...it takes training, discipline and experience. Most "martial artists" never fight, not even in competitions/tournaments, but yet they have black belts and are trainers. These trainers have no idea what real situation or at least how a fight in the competition/tournament feels...they taught their students this and that without extra knowledge based on their own experience. So the tradition passed down, martial art techniques become stiff and rigid... To make it in simple analogy, what it is likely to happen to a musician first time playing on stage? The same thing happen to all who learn martial art...a musician already know all the chords and notes, but when stage fright strike...That is why, all who learn martial art must at least once enter a competition/tournament...to feel it and get fighting experience.
Was wondering if you thought the Jeet Kune Do straight blast concept is a viable technique to ward off an actual attacker. It's a powerful, full body motion, gross motor attack/defense which has various permutations. It doesn't have to be a straight extension verticle or oblique fist a la Bruce Lee it could be a palm thrust or reinforced straight out palm thrust with the aid of a reinforcing hand adding power and defensive protection while effecting propulsion and rotational torque with your legs and body core!!!
good video , i will like to say .....most of ppl who practice martial arts and we are talking about let say black belt as a reference they will avoid and know how to avoid fights ....ppl who train for fight learn self control because is essential in a fight and last ppl who know they value as a fighter do not go like a peacock on the street , know how to respect his opponent and make not assumption ....his wick i can take him easy ...PS i remember back in my days when i done MA ,in my country, if you have above brown belt and got in a fight on street with one guy or 2 at the same time your still the perpetrator in the easy of law and police because you know what are you doing and have skills to avoid the fight ....except life and death situation .............very interesting videos refreshing my memory and like you said early on other video PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE that the key
Thanks Mark for your prolific output of real life defence videos,cos the dojo and the street are different places (although that depends on the club you go to!).
Rather gross or motor skills keep it simple. Don't do anything that requires too much thinking, and too many steps. Let your movements & actions be natural, but at the same time let them be effective natural moves that have been tested & molded into your soul.
Trying my best to understand what is going on. 😂 Here's a quick demo of what I know about brawls. A quick first punch and willingness to hurt someone gives the upper hand. Throw the first hand. Keep throwing don't stop and boom job done. What else there's to it? Oh and keep your mind open like hey this guy is trying to grab my legs I should probably do something about it. You can kick his ear with your other leg or reverse yourself so that the guy falls first or keep your balance and destroy his face using punches. There's plenty of options do what's best and destroy his face and stomach. That's it. I think that's it. What dya say fellas?
Throw the first punch on camera and you my friend are going to jail these days. Throw the first punch and if the other guy is a trained fighter you are going to jail after you get your arse handed to you. Lost teeth . Multiple broken bones in fights over the years. Still looking forward to the next dance.
@@passthetunaporfavor Well the law ain't a problem. Am not from the Us of the A. Besides why do people snitch? Second no trained fighter will be able to take a sucker punch and keep up a fight if I begin pounding immediately. Even if he is some God of fighting am smart enough to realize and walk away. Can't beat everyone y'know. But ain't afraid of anyone neither
When I was heavily training in trapping, a friend threw a slow punch at me while I was holding a beer in one hand and talking to a friend, and I obviously had time to block it, but the funniest part was I guess I never let him take his hand away, and kept small circle/sticky hand deflecting and retaining his hand in front of a whole a bunch of people without ever stopping my conversation with the other friend. I thought it was the punching friend that was continuing to trap with me, because I wasn't really looking, but then he then he grunting with frustration that he couldn't take his hand out of the engagement. lol. Training is such great fun.
Gross motor skills are where every person should begin their martial art journey. All militaries around the world start new recruits with them for a reason.
Very nice with how you are able to demonstrate your style. I was thinking if that was not Wing Chun, it sure looks a lot like Wing Chun. You showed no matter what the persons reach it, you know how to controle and glide through all his offence and defence. I see so many other videos of others doing Wing Chun and it seems so different from what I had learned and very ineffective. Almost with their Rms fully extended out in front of them. So, it is nice to see someone who can do Wing Chun the proper and effective way. I have found it to be very difficult to find those who can. I hope to see more videos of yours and see more of how you do and how you train in your style.
Here is my formula for survival: Stay in shape (eat right and exercise) Carry weapons (knives, sprays, tasers, etc) Carry defense/shields (backpack with plates, chainmail armor, mouthguard, arm and leg guards, groin strap, etc) Basic boxing, kickboxing, and wrestling/grappling skill/knowledge, along with basic stand-up blocks Be mindful of your surroundings Last but not least, wear an Iron Man suit
Looks like a cross between wing chun and KEYSI- more recent style- but VERY effective... it uses a LOT of gross motor moves and natural blocking protective reactionary moves.. I kinda go for intercepting FIRST before they get theirs going. BUT- I'm getting old now- and don't get much any more- and don't want to.
verveblack No problem, as I said before we will continue with our simple no cuts or music videos, but we do need to mix it up. Otherwise, people will get bored and leave. There's more simple format videos to come. Thanks for the feedback.
Unfortunately, we do have quite a number of boxers and kickboxer that are looking for victims to demolish on the streets. I´m not talking about someone starting a fight with them and losing, nor am I talking about them looking for a fight, but someone to mess up without much resistance.
@@fightscience I mean the ones, that we call _Was guckst Du_ It´s so typical: Ey, dude what you´re looking at? Gotta problem or what? (if you push back, he´ll immediately attack you for real) The´ve become an absolute plague in Germany. There have been several fatalities, where they´ve beaten young woman and old men into a pulp that either died due to intercranial bleeding or due to drowning in their own blood! Two of my neighbours had their face disfigured and one of them can´t walk properly any more due to a shattered knee. (the latter asked some kids to turn the volume down and got treated like a pinjata as response). Also another neighbour of mine was famous throughout Germany for slapping random victims on their ears, pull their ears into a headbutt and kneestrike and then robbing them, when they were on the ground.
Actually, yes that is a problem and very sad indeed. I guess I always like to think the best of people that train in martial arts. Maybe I should start addressing more attacks where people have skills in our videos. What do you think?
@@fightscience I just wanted to point out that people who are looking for trouble are often also prepared to win the fight one way or another. As a side-note, we noticed that there´s a sort of hierachy among martial arts. Boxing and kickboxing are very popular but also attract too many thugs so that some people moved on to different fighting styles. Karate and martial arts with military background tend to be a center of tough-guys, but usually far more disciplined, who only attack when provoked or ordered. Kongfu and swordfighting etc. tend to attract people that have a rather low level of aggression in their every day life and they tend to be the most civilised and more on the philosophical side of things.
@UC9MAfdTxWQwPbETYwMgm--Q München, Neuperlach. Dieses Jahr, gab es im Michaelibad eine Massenschlägerei. Jemand konnte den Bademeister nicht leiden und kam mit 100 Mann wieder um ihn zu erledigen, doch sie fanden ihn nicht und griffen stattdessen einfach Badegäste an! Ausserdem haben ein paar Idioten die Innenstadt bei einer Hochzeitsfeier abgeriegelt in dem sie Autos querstellten, in die Luft schossen und Fahnen (rate mal welche) schwenkten...
I have been in many real fights and always simply react. I have trained in TKD/Karate for years, and agree with you in this video. Most people simple throw heymakers or sloppy overhand punches. Last most fights are over fast.
So... Is he saying a lot of wing chun isn't really applicable to a real life situation? Man I respect him for being honest enough about his style to admit that.
Check out the praying mantis kung fu animal wrist strike with the original hand formation correctly (98% taught incorrectly) and the infighting striking. Highly effective.
That point of view is similar to when bjj claims that 90% of all fights go to the ground. It is misleading and incomplete. That lack of refinement is what martial training is meant to remedy.
i completely agree, though a demo would have been nice. Relying solely on fine motor skill is like asking someone to play Mario on a blind playthrough without dying. It can be done, but you need to know what the opponent is doing and time everything perfectly. Fat chance of that though.
You said that you go off of the “likely.” What is the disadvantage of training for the better techniques, or maybe another way of saying it is to train for the worst case scenario in a given situation. I’m speaking of why train mostly against looping punches and not straights? ..and why not mostly against a compromise of the two? I am honestly asking. I have often heard people say that learning to defend a proper rear naked choke isn’t efficient since you are likely not to encounter a proper RNC, but if one learns to defend the hardest to defend then anything less than is at least manageable while reversing that argument the person would probably be lost.
It's best for me to use explosive gross motor actions when the flight or flight adrenaline kicks in and gives me the shakes. I've found it too hard to be relaxed and controlled under real confrontations. I guess this could go away with more experience with confrontations?
Yes it will subside. You won't completely be free of the adrenaline effect, but you will be in more control of your body. Thanks for watching my friend.
Like I said before, this happens because you lack real sparing and you are not used to real situations, so your mind and body don't know how to react so fast to the situation you are in (choke, grab, knife...)
People who haven't fought have no possible way of understanding how everything wants to shutdown. I was knocked down several times before I even thought that maybe hitting back was possible the first time. Pain wasnt a thing until after, or fatigue. Good thing I have a hard head.( eventually I just left righted until I got away).
I'll tell you what works - loose finger flicks to the face - it can actually "end" a fight. If you keep your fingers loose and quickly flick them like a jab except that your fingers will loosely extend out at the end of the "punch" in a snap, then it will sting the crap out of your opponents face. His eyes will involuntarily close, which sets up more strikes/techniques. It also gives you an additional 3-5 inches of reach on your "jab", depending on the length of your fingers. There's a high chance that it will either contact the opponents eye in which case the only thing he'll be able to do is blindly lunge forward hoping for a grapple, or your fingers will get close to the eye, which will make the eyes water up and close. Often times, this will be enough to discourage further escalation in most ego based street fights. In a life or death fight, this would merely be an opener to more moves...

Yoiu dont spar in a street fight sparring is an excercise it is not real fighting. If you think a partial artist is superior to a street fighter mugger etc. Dont get in a real fight you lose
Only full contact sparring with my big brother helped. But otherwise no! You need to keep it simple!
@@dragan3290 Sorry, but full contact fights like Kyo, K1 or Muay Thai are still useless. In a real fight there are no any kind of rules unlike those full contact martial arts. In a real fight you could be killed by a punch on your neck or by a strike on your heart with knife just in a moment...
@@heyho77747 the full contact sparring helped with knowing if I'm hurting someone for real. In steal situation, an aggressive person was mouthing off in road rage . A light open handed strike to the hollow of his throat. He started coughing. I got In my car and off I went
I have been watching your content for years and I really appreciate it. I'm old and pretty unlikely to ever get in another fight, but it doesn't mean I'm not open to continual learning. Lots of people don't even make the distinction between gross motor skills and fine motor skills when talking about self-defense.
And again, it all comes down to real sparing. Sparing is what makes you used to the stress of fighting, to the adrenaline rush. By sparing you develop self-confidence in your fighting skill, helping you to keep cool so you can use your fine motor skills.
I d say its different levels, the moves in the air / on the bag or on the mis / sparring / hard sparring / fight. at every level you loose lets say 50% of whats working until you have few things working when fighting and you restart from the first level to built on it and develop your game.. I ve seen so many people being super good at light sparring and when it start to be hard sparring or fight they are not made for it! fight is brutal, you have to be ready for it or you better keep sparring at the gym
If the sparring isn`t full contact, then you might as well not. It`s one thing to punch or kick a stationary object like a pad, but the practice of delivering a fight stopping blow to an opponent is much different. You have to gage distance and timing on a moving target that doesn`t want to be hit, and that is also trying to hit you, and hit you as hard as it can. If you only spar with light contact, then that is actually detrimental to developing the skill of really stopping someone in a real fight, because you don`t learn to deliver the right kind of blow to your opponent. Luckily, when I trained karate, our sensei was a bit of an animal and loved to see his students go full contact, whether or not that was the right thing for him to do, but we didn`t care, because we loved going hell for leather on each other. This is when I learnt that what I was learning was effective, because one time I was being out punched by a guy who was punching with all their might and speed, he had a slightly longer reach, so it gave him the edge in that regard, so I stepped back, spun, and delivered a spinning back kick to the rib cage, and the full contact sparring session was over, he was on his knees gasping for breath for around 5 minutes. He said he didn`t even see it coming, only that I had turned my back to him, guys don`t usually concentrate on what you`re doing when they`re focused on taking your head off, it`s a counter punchers dream. That was a long time ago and I haven`t trained in years, so I`m good for nothing now lol. But the point is, you must be willing to spar full contact, to give someone a wallop and to take one, or you`ll be useless in a real life situation with all the aggression that`s involved. It`s the only way you know that all you`re training is effective.

This gentleman knows his shit. Couldn’t be more spot on with his approach to reality in a street fight as opposed to two trained fighters sparring.
Yo Eddie I do believe we just found ourselves a true Keyboard warrior
Basically saying focus on spending your (limited) training time developing real proficiency in a handful of money-moves with broader practical applications rather than many complex moves with more limited specialized/niche applications.
Thank you very much. Every knowledgeable person says that.
the problem with most people who train in martial arts for self defence is they have a defensive mindset. They focus on if my attacker throws this than I will do this and they are pretty much sending out signals to a attacker to come and attack but when you switch to a agressive mindset that if someone threatens you your going to unleash hell on them than the fear of being attacked is gone and an attacker will only attack those who reak on fear . So in conclusion it's not about techniques but the proper psychology that matters.
Exactly, I say this all the time in our videos. You have to have a offensive mindset for self defence. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Get yourself hit. Learn to deal with the psychological shock. Remove the fear of being hit. That projects a confidence that gives ppl second thoughts
What you say is spot on. I try telling people this but they just don’t get it. A lot of people seem to think that this means that you shouldn’t wast time practicing techniques, which is completely wrong. You should train techniques, but when it comes to a real fight, the most important thing is to have an attacking mindset. To have defense without being defensive. Waiting for an enemy to launch an attack, reading the attack, choosing an appropriate counter, and then launching that counter is obviously worse than useless in a violent encounter. Anyone who has been in a real fight will know that this is true
Very true but this is why we spar with one another. Sparing should be part of all hand to hand training no matter what the style. Not only does it teach offensive posture but it also hones our number one rule...”always expect the unexpected”.
What does ''reak on'' mean?
Man go easier on that guy.. I always feel bad for him 🤣
Honestly he's tough as nails.
@@fightscience Well he's your student after all! (I assume)
James Murphy That’s not ridiculous it’s not like he’s hurting him, both of them are having fun after all. Also, if he went easier on him it would like he doesn’t know what he’s doing, and I bet his student would rather have him going hard on him instead of easy since that way he will benefit more from that.
@James Murphy, taking impact is a part of training, I don't believe that bothers him one bit because if it did, he wouldn't be there too long.
I thought it was just me seeing how bro gets carried away 😆
You have a great personality and teaching teaching technique, pleasant to watch
Thank you very much.
The best way to avoid a fight in a club is to stay near a good bouncer. Buy him a drink. If you have a problem with someone, ask the bouncer to help you. That is what he is there for. If there are no bouncers in a dodgy club get out of there.
or to have your own bouncer or police to protect you

Years ago I've done several years of karate, a bit of aikido, etc, and I haven't pursued it for awhile....but your videos are so much fun and you have such a great personality. And of course, I learn a heck of a lot!

George is the man. 🤣
One of the most well presented channels on youtube. Straight to the point, very easy to listen to, great advice and very very likable presenters. Fantastic work.
I tend to agree that the average person can't perform under the pressure of adrenaline, I used to have the same problem in my younger years. Experience with violence and repetition over time gave me a unique skill, I found i was no longer fearful and i hardly even feel my heart rate go up now when dealing with violence and I'm now able to use fine motor skills as well as gross under pressure. I'm trained in martial arts (ninjutsu,aikido,judo, as well as some systema) as well as combatives (raw combat/raw silat) and I'm a doorman at a rough bar in my neck of the woods. The point is the more you deal with something or rather the more you do something the easier it becomes to do calmly, I've personally spent hundreds of hours training and I've dealt with hundreds of violent situations over the past decade and a half (by no means do I recommend my lifestyle either lol I've paid dearly for it in more ways than one) but in my experience the most important aspect of training and experience is learning how to remain calm and control your adrenal response and channel it, it is more crucial than any technique, nearly anybody can be taught how to strike or submit eye gouge headbutt, choke or lock limbs but training to stay calm is an area neglected in a lot of training in my opinion. Great video though really enjoyed it and fully agree with you sir!
When you experience fights often then it becomes easier to think. First time I got into a fight I barely remember anything from it. All I know we started and then we were done. Second fight I could remember more but I couldn’t control my actions

Integrating deep breathing into my day, to day life. I.e.

I Learned Self Defense Dirty By Practice Shadowing Wing Chun and Shadow Fighting and Shadow Wrestling Everyday,
I love your videos; however, I’ve been training martial arts for 30 + years & have had 3 guns & 2 knives pulled on me, as well as 2 sucker punches (I didn’t know we were fighting until I got hit) - both sucker punches were straight rights from guys who definitely knew how to box. I think it’s a mistake to underestimate the opponent. Prepare for a good fighter bigger faster and stronger than us.
Well said my friend.
Fight SCIENCE keep up the great videos.
become a catholic.. Pray frequently.
True, usually someone attack because they are pretty sure they can fuck the heck out of you OR they're lose control of their temper. Which both can be hard to identify in a second, unless you're pretty sure that they are just angry af it's probably safe to fight back.
if you are not sure what the motive is then running away is always an option
Ppl who box especially those who are professional but not famous or those who has had moderate training and aren’t novice tend to wanna fight more simply cuz they wanna try out what they learn in the ring on an attacker. From what I saw, based on my friends and bro in law who are professional boxers, they never initiate the confrontation but they do stick around to finish it up lol
Best channel for learning martial arts on UA-cam
Thanks Sifu Mark- you are really onto something with that important idea: the chances of getting into a confrontation with a really trained or pro fighter are slim to none. If it's not worth their while and they defuse or de-escalate and walk away, why would be worth our while even as a (hard-training) amateur fighter? (Arnis, TKD, Bagua) That puts anything in the street as a have to fight situation only if there is no way to walk away or avoid it. It's absolutely not cowardice - I have actually won 100% of the fights I haven't had. It feels good to be undefeated. Let's say it goes the other way- I wreck some random a**hole in the street- guess what? I'm likely going to get a knock on the door from the cops. I will probably have to go to court. When I'm in court, that guy is going to roll in on a wheelchair smirking away... it's going to cost me serious time and money to get it straightened out as self defense. This will be a challenge if it comes to light that I have trained a lot... They'll argue that I or any trained person has a "duty of care" to use restraint.....oho boy. The more training = the less fighting in the street.
I remember learning Systema for the first time from an instructor who used to teach me kickboxing and grappling. I was 19 at that time and was very green in the world of self defence and martial arts. My instructor taught me the concept of going with the flow in Systema and being fluid - working less with more efficiency.
Is that you John Wick
I love this guy, continue to love his real applications because it's real.
These videos teach me not to look for fights rather be confortable in fights ( if fights come to you) Just awesome
Be aware that the other person may have a knife, baton, or gun. Wearing thick leather jacket, helmut, steel-toe leather boots, padded leather gloves that fully cover the wrist and/or bullet-proof under-armour may save your life.
It is very good to train with the writhing motions of a dragon to counter-attack the attacks of the opponent.
Pepper spray is effective to blind the attacker to get away from the danger. One cannot fight if one cannot see.
One can also use words to decrease the conflict. "Sorry" is a good word to use as a defense weapon to stop the fight from escalating.
This is why full contact sparring is important and should be a main focus in training, not something that you do once in a blue moon, in my opinion it should make up the majority of a training session (EDIT: This also includes sparring drills and exercises). In sparring you're going to be using techniques that are simpler to execute that have a high rate of protection or making contact.
Absolutely not. This will only lead to you getting sloppy, creating huge holes in your skills and fundamentals, and ultimately slowing down your progress immensely.
Take a technique, a skill, a tool, work it slowly and deliberately, increase speed and intensity, drill it alone, then with a partner, faster and faster, and THEN do your sparring trying to integrate it.
I guarantee you, anyone who's good at something got there like this. Doesn't matter the skill, it applies to everything.
Imagine sending your children to a school that said, "We don't waste time on the lessons. We just take tests every day." Or the opposite, "We do lessons but we never take tests."
You have to decide on your own ratio, but I believe in drilling five times, and taking a test (heavy contact/resistance). Evaluate, adjust, drill five more times and take another test.
I agree but I'm in my 50s and believe me...unless you're making tons of money with fighting...getting punched in the head alot full contact sparring isnt the best thing to do in my opinion...but if it works for you then bless your heart....you're a beast. Be careful.
@@paksau1 Sometimes full contact sparring isn't the right approach especially if you have a disorder like epilepsy. Intensity is important and so is going through drill work. You can do both of these without getting hit in the head, focusing more on body shots in sparring while maintaining a high guard.
@@LauraTeAhoWhite True and good advice...head...body...need to protect it all😉...thanks
It took me years to get those fine motor movements down to the point I could realistically use them in a fight. And I still prefer more gross movements.
Great video. Really useful and clear information! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
Nice clip on what typically happens in a street fight...the adrenaline kicks in, a wild flurry of punches, someone gets lucky and connects and its over typically under 30 seconds. Practice under duress, understand the adrenaline and your body reacts, learn how to cover and clinch, how to pick your spots.
Everything is in experience you must train a lot a have a lot of sparing to get feeling of fighting
I think I was about 3 years into a formal Martial Arts training before I realized I was only being trained to fight my own styles version of attacks. Nobody just grabbed me with one hand and started punching over and over and over with the other as hard as they possibly could. Or shot a hard double leg. Or swung a huge overhand right, or attacked with an ice pick grip with a knife like the majority of real attackers will as they just crash into you with their whole body with no attempt at control. We used to joke that the worse people to spar with were green belts, they had just enough techniques and just enough lack of control to be really dangerous. But thats really what we should have been training for.
I've become known for fighting in my town, i have a low skill level, but still smash peoples faces. Overhands, hammerfists, headbutts, knees, shirt grabs etc. You don't need good fighting skills to win a street fight, you need the basics. The most important things are mindset, aggression and situation avareness. Knowing when the fight has started, being willing to punch, and punching is what will bring the Victory.
Love these videos!! Definitely appreciate getting caught by the accidental shot practicing...builds character 😂
Very true. In a high tension situation all fine motor skills go out the window. For example when you're driving you can make super fine adjustments, but as soon as a car darts in front of you and you get scared of crashing you start making large, crude movements with the steering wheel
Loved the vid. This is so crucial. In my first street fight i got hit in the face from a guy i could take to the cleaners anyday and me faster than him and some karate skills. What threw me was 1. Anger. 2. He and 2 of his brothers coming at me from 3 sides.
man at 4:02 u smack that guys head off the metal container so hard i almost choked on my bong rip while watching this
your channel is one of the better ones why you dont have a millionsubs by now i dont know thtas crazy
Yeah,
while in a real street fight,
There is no referees or any rules you have to respect or think about while in that fight, its all adrenaline and mix emotions like anger during that fight, and your damn sure your opponent knows that too, like example; sure you might be a black belt in karate or a master at some Dojo, but in a street fights, you'll get a bit sloppy and messy with your hits, but its ok, because no matter how calm a person you are, in a real fight, our natural instincts will eventually kick in
Simple things works, because simple things are easier to perform under stress, when brain does not work, and only our low level reflexes (hopefully refined by some training) kick in. At the very least, we just wildly flail around, or run away, or just scream.
Got it. Excellent points, btw! Watching MMA fighters fight full contact, what usually works is rather simple, non-flashy and non-fancy. That's why, big, strong, heavy and resilient fighters are those that usually survive.
Great points! Thank you!
Great video, thank you! Never thought about these gross and fine motor skills. Makes a lot of sense.
You have to love this guy!…Thanks for your expertise!…
Finally that someone teaches the real stuff
Great work
this so true! i was amazed when i 1st saw someone teaching morning kungfu at the park get into a fight. not a single kungfu move was seen through out the entire fight. all me and my friends saw was an old fashioned full swings. then me my friends teased each other saying 'gadamn! i never knew we already know kungfu!'. on my personal experience, it seems its the rage, anger, that takes over. together with being nervous scared all rolled into one feeling in that moment. now i can say with some degree that i'm able to control it in a certain degree and be able to focus on what to do in a fight. it also involves a lot of running.
Does kicking involve more gross motor function than punching? - for example, if you end up turning your back to your opponent, but then taking the opportunity to do a spinning back or side kick. Then chances are you'll miss as you won't have the target in your mind. But if you do a quick jab with your hand before doing a spinning back kick, then you'll be much more likely to hit your target as your jab with your hand prior helps you mentally place your target in reference to your body - we seem to have better hand to eye co-ordination than foot to eye co-ordination. Perhaps because in the brain the hands and eyes are mapped very closely located to each other in the motor sensory cortex. I am assuming therefore by "gross" you actually mean "groinal" - LOL as our feet (along with a general map of our bodies) are located very close to our groin in the motor sensory cortex of our brains! - gross motor action is basically cock fighting LOL xD
I agree with this guy. Most people walking the streets have no martial arts skills. I have seen fights and guys are drinking and the guy swings the big round house punch. I have trained numerous years in escrima, goshin jujitsu, wing chun, kempo, and lau. I see that big round and l step out par the strike and attack the head,neck, and kidneys and back of knees. I have drilled that right hand punch a thousands times and l just react. I don't think about my reaction it just comes out. You can think in a fight you must react without thinking.
Man, it is truly impressive how fast you move with close combat , I wish I knew that when I worked as a driver in public transportation when dealing with violent, belligerent people. 👍🏻
Every fight is an independent event... it always starts verbally and then escalates... ever hear of the expression it takes two to fight!
Excellent! More real time based videos where we can really see how you react and apply techniques.
That's why we must keep calm, that's hard to do, I know, I've experienced it...it takes training, discipline and experience. Most "martial artists" never fight, not even in competitions/tournaments, but yet they have black belts and are trainers. These trainers have no idea what real situation or at least how a fight in the competition/tournament feels...they taught their students this and that without extra knowledge based on their own experience. So the tradition passed down, martial art techniques become stiff and rigid...
To make it in simple analogy, what it is likely to happen to a musician first time playing on stage? The same thing happen to all who learn martial art...a musician already know all the chords and notes, but when stage fright strike...That is why, all who learn martial art must at least once enter a competition/tournament...to feel it and get fighting experience.
Always illuminating and defining...🙏🏾 ...”
Was wondering if you thought the Jeet Kune Do straight blast concept is a viable technique to ward off an actual attacker. It's a powerful, full body motion, gross motor attack/defense which has various permutations. It doesn't have to be a straight extension verticle or oblique fist a la Bruce Lee it could be a palm thrust or reinforced straight out palm thrust with the aid of a reinforcing hand adding power and defensive protection while effecting propulsion and rotational torque with your legs and body core!!!
good video , i will like to say .....most of ppl who practice martial arts and we are talking about let say black belt as a reference they will avoid and know how to avoid fights ....ppl who train for fight learn self control because is essential in a fight and last ppl who know they value as a fighter do not go like a peacock on the street , know how to respect his opponent and make not assumption ....his wick i can take him easy ...PS i remember back in my days when i done MA ,in my country, if you have above brown belt and got in a fight on street with one guy or 2 at the same time your still the perpetrator in the easy of law and police because you know what are you doing and have skills to avoid the fight ....except life and death situation .............very interesting videos refreshing my memory and like you said early on other video PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE that the key
Thanks very much for another clear and concise breakdown Sifu Mark.
Thanks Mark for your prolific output of real life defence videos,cos the dojo and the street are different places (although that depends on the club you go to!).
Absolutely. 😁
Rather gross or motor skills keep it simple. Don't do anything that requires too much thinking, and too many steps. Let your movements & actions be natural, but at the same time let them be effective natural moves that have been tested & molded into your soul.
Trying my best to understand what is going on. 😂 Here's a quick demo of what I know about brawls. A quick first punch and willingness to hurt someone gives the upper hand. Throw the first hand. Keep throwing don't stop and boom job done. What else there's to it? Oh and keep your mind open like hey this guy is trying to grab my legs I should probably do something about it. You can kick his ear with your other leg or reverse yourself so that the guy falls first or keep your balance and destroy his face using punches. There's plenty of options do what's best and destroy his face and stomach. That's it. I think that's it. What dya say fellas?
Throw the first punch on camera and you my friend are going to jail these days. Throw the first punch and if the other guy is a trained fighter you are going to jail after you get your arse handed to you. Lost teeth . Multiple broken bones in fights over the years. Still looking forward to the next dance.
@@passthetunaporfavor Well the law ain't a problem. Am not from the Us of the A. Besides why do people snitch? Second no trained fighter will be able to take a sucker punch and keep up a fight if I begin pounding immediately. Even if he is some God of fighting am smart enough to realize and walk away. Can't beat everyone y'know. But ain't afraid of anyone neither
passthetunaporfavor wait you never told me how you broke them bones. Am looking forward to the next dance as well
When I was heavily training in trapping, a friend threw a slow punch at me while I was holding a beer in one hand and talking to a friend, and I obviously had time to block it, but the funniest part was I guess I never let him take his hand away, and kept small circle/sticky hand deflecting and retaining his hand in front of a whole a bunch of people without ever stopping my conversation with the other friend. I thought it was the punching friend that was continuing to trap with me, because I wasn't really looking, but then he then he grunting with frustration that he couldn't take his hand out of the engagement. lol. Training is such great fun.
Absolutely right and correct. Great video.
Great video! Extremely pertinent information for "street wise" fighting.
Gross motor skills are where every person should begin their martial art journey. All militaries around the world start new recruits with them for a reason.
Very nice with how you are able to demonstrate your style. I was thinking if that was not Wing Chun, it sure looks a lot like Wing Chun.
You showed no matter what the persons reach it, you know how to controle and glide through all his offence and defence.
I see so many other videos of others doing Wing Chun and it seems so different from what I had learned and very ineffective. Almost with their Rms fully extended out in front of them.
So, it is nice to see someone who can do Wing Chun the proper and effective way. I have found it to be very difficult to find those who can.
I hope to see more videos of yours and see more of how you do and how you train in your style.
I haven't watched your video for a while,
Welcome back. 👍
@@fightscience thank you Mr Wing Chun street fight Master,
A reel fight usually starts with a sucker punch, an attack from behind or a tackle.
Oh yeah sometimes a lot of pushing and yelling first. At least then you have a chance to defuse the situation.
Here is my formula for survival:
Stay in shape (eat right and exercise)
Carry weapons (knives, sprays, tasers, etc)
Carry defense/shields (backpack with plates, chainmail armor, mouthguard, arm and leg guards, groin strap, etc)
Basic boxing, kickboxing, and wrestling/grappling skill/knowledge, along with basic stand-up blocks
Be mindful of your surroundings
Last but not least, wear an Iron Man suit
Looks like a cross between wing chun and KEYSI- more recent style- but VERY effective... it uses a LOT of gross motor moves and natural blocking protective reactionary moves.. I kinda go for intercepting FIRST before they get theirs going. BUT- I'm getting old now- and don't get much any more- and don't want to.
I've never been in a fight and never plan on being in one but this stuff is interesting as all get out!
THANK YOU for the no music over the talking! 😁

You sir have a doctrine in fighting love your channel
Unfortunately, we do have quite a number of boxers and kickboxer that are looking for victims to demolish on the streets.
I´m not talking about someone starting a fight with them and losing, nor am I talking about them looking for a fight, but someone to mess up without much resistance.
I guess the take away from your point is don't start a fight with someone. You may get yourself into more trouble. 😉

It´s so typical: Ey, dude what you´re looking at? Gotta problem or what? (if you push back, he´ll immediately attack you for real)
The´ve become an absolute plague in Germany. There have been several fatalities, where they´ve beaten young woman and old men into a pulp that either died due to intercranial bleeding or due to drowning in their own blood!
Two of my neighbours had their face disfigured and one of them can´t walk properly any more due to a shattered knee. (the latter asked some kids to turn the volume down and got treated like a pinjata as response). Also another neighbour of mine was famous throughout Germany for slapping random victims on their ears, pull their ears into a headbutt and kneestrike and then robbing them, when they were on the ground.
Actually, yes that is a problem and very sad indeed. I guess I always like to think the best of people that train in martial arts. Maybe I should start addressing more attacks where people have skills in our videos. What do you think?
@@fightscience I just wanted to point out that people who are looking for trouble are often also prepared to win the fight one way or another.
As a side-note, we noticed that there´s a sort of hierachy among martial arts.
Boxing and kickboxing are very popular but also attract too many thugs so that some people moved on to different fighting styles.
Karate and martial arts with military background tend to be a center of tough-guys, but usually far more disciplined, who only attack when provoked or ordered.
Kongfu and swordfighting etc. tend to attract people that have a rather low level of aggression in their every day life and they tend to be the most civilised and more on the philosophical side of things.

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching my friend my friend.
That point of view is similar to when bjj claims that 90% of all fights go to the ground. It is misleading and incomplete. That lack of refinement is what martial training is meant to remedy.
i completely agree, though a demo would have been nice. Relying solely on fine motor skill is like asking someone to play Mario on a blind playthrough without dying. It can be done, but you need to know what the opponent is doing and time everything perfectly. Fat chance of that though.
True, so then what is most applicable to defending against gross motor attacks?
Always great to hear and see your vids...keep my old brain fresh and thinking...love Phil! Hope you come back to Philly again so we can train😁
You said that you go off of the “likely.” What is the disadvantage of training for the better techniques, or maybe another way of saying it is to train for the worst case scenario in a given situation. I’m speaking of why train mostly against looping punches and not straights? ..and why not mostly against a compromise of the two?
I am honestly asking.
I have often heard people say that learning to defend a proper rear naked choke isn’t efficient since you are likely not to encounter a proper RNC, but if one learns to defend the hardest to defend then anything less than is at least manageable while reversing that argument the person would probably be lost.
It's best for me to use explosive gross motor actions when the flight or flight adrenaline kicks in and gives me the shakes. I've found it too hard to be relaxed and controlled under real confrontations. I guess this could go away with more experience with confrontations?
Yes it will subside. You won't completely be free of the adrenaline effect, but you will be in more control of your body. Thanks for watching my friend.
Like I said before, this happens because you lack real sparing and you are not used to real situations, so your mind and body don't know how to react so fast to the situation you are in (choke, grab, knife...)

I learned how to choreograph a Chinese kung fu movie fight thank you
I'll tell you what works - loose finger flicks to the face - it can actually "end" a fight. If you keep your fingers loose and quickly flick them like a jab except that your fingers will loosely extend out at the end of the "punch" in a snap, then it will sting the crap out of your opponents face. His eyes will involuntarily close, which sets up more strikes/techniques. It also gives you an additional 3-5 inches of reach on your "jab", depending on the length of your fingers.
There's a high chance that it will either contact the opponents eye in which case the only thing he'll be able to do is blindly lunge forward hoping for a grapple, or your fingers will get close to the eye, which will make the eyes water up and close. Often times, this will be enough to discourage further escalation in most ego based street fights. In a life or death fight, this would merely be an opener to more moves...
