I need to add one thing here, always keep moving. A moving target is much harder to hit.
It's a great point. I saw an interview of a guy who served time in prison say that when he was getting jumped by guards he kept moving around on the ground, never staying still with any part of his body, because he knew if he stopped moving for a moment they could hit that area with much more power. So if they hit his leg and his leg is already moving, for example, they cannot generate as much force against that part of his body.
@@damienholland9244 Great advice from a 💩💩 experience. ✌🏼
Good point to add.
In another video the same channel says stand your ground, if you move back you're apparently displaying a lack of confidence.
@@damienholland9244 Gotta be calculated obv, in case u move into the shots then they'll do more damage
A long time ago I was told, "if you find yourself in a fair fight, you've failed to prepare properly." The UK legal system seems designed to ensure that predators always have the advantage, so personally I ignore the UK legal system when it comes to protecting myself and others whenever I'm temporarily stuck on the gloomy dysfunctional little island. When attacked, respond with overwhelming force and aggression until the attackers are unable ever again to be a threat to anyone, under any circumstances. Then leave asap. Real life is not like the movies and the police are not our friends.
That is not only an UK problem. Just throwing it in there.
Hm, almost as if the political cabals and their masters want to take everything away from people, to make themselves happy.
Same in all commonwealth countries. Everyone still very much a subject of the Families.
Well I heard UK laws are written like that but I've never seen this in such a detail. This for real?
Same here in the US. The laws are made to protect the criminals.
In America, one can't defend one's self against vicious attackers, unless it is in front of a surveillance camera. Using a knife in self-defense is not an option, only a gun, as the legal system if deeply biased against knives for self-defense. In America, a white person has to let a black gangster beat and rob them, as only black lives matter (BLM), and those BLMs are free to beat, rob, and kill Asian-Americans and to never be charged with a hate crime.
As a “senior” female, I feel particularly vulnerable to random street crime. Vulnerable, but I leave the house every day after having considered what I need to do to defend myself.
I don’t carry a dangling shoulder bag
I wear shoes (mostly my ranch 🥾 boots) that I could kick or run in
I carry pepper spray in a nice pink container so they know I have it on me
I’ve taken self defense training with firearms and physical combat exercises
Most of all…. I try to stay aware of my surroundings and minimize my risks.
Women need to get their face off their phones and live with a self preservation mindset.
I salute you for your braveness madame! In my eyes the last point you made is the most important one: Situational awareness and the right mindset.
you forgot something.most west women forgets, wear modestly or else you gonna be attacked be sex thirsty men
Well done to you.
Get a gun. Learn how to use it responsibly. Most important; expect danger, but live your life to the fullest, too. Otherwise, you will falter if there's nothing to protect.
Vote for Republicans!
They'll protect your Right to own a firearm.
They'll hold criminals accountable.
If you're noticing a sneaky guy slowing making his way behind you. While his buddy is egging you into a fight. And you're not already changing your position to one of advantage. Then you better at least be expecting a war on two fronts real soon. And you better know the sneaky guy will likely attack first from behind. So turn it around. Let sneaky guy know he isn't sneaky at all. By acknowledging his presence as you move to a more favorable position. It's been my experience that sneaky guy will likely fade. Once you've shown him he's not sneaky at all. And you're taking the lead in this dance, hehe.
Had this situation outside a pub in London. A guy who was looking for trouble earlier in the night decided to start it up again in the street as I was leaving when the pub closed. I squared up to him and his mate started circling behind me. I can't recall what I said but it was along the lines of 'I'm not looking for trouble but I'm If you think I'm scared of you, you've got another thing coming.' Then I turned and stared directly at the rat trying to sneak behind him and said "And don't think I don't know what you're up to either." Fortunately for me a bouncer saw what was about to go down and made his presence felt so that these two cowards who lacked the testacles to take me on individually slank away like the vermin they were.
@N0rbert thing to remember in the UK although we cant have items for the purpose of self defence we can still use self defence and pre-emptive strikes provided we held the genuine belief we were going to be attacked. By the sounds of it the he could of be within his right to punch first at both guys lol.
Often overlooked: Teach your girlfriend/wife/partner to NEVER hold you back or try puling you away. I barely made it out when three c**** ganged up on me. Effin' girlfriend at that time kept dragging me by my right arm. Lost balance and couldn't throw a punch. Two guys rushed me and it turned into a ground fight. Third guy didn't want to fight anymore after what I did to the first two guys. I walked away unharmed (bruised ego, for sure) but it was a wake-up call. Talk to your partner BEFORE anything can happen. Stay strong,. stay safe! 💪👍
TRUTH, My Brother! Notify her, Long in advance. If for ANY reason, she says she can't accept that, drop her like a bad-habit! NOT wanting to, I've had to do this, SEVERAL times!! (No Joke!) I'm NOT a 'fighter', I've just developed a 'controlled' chip on My shoulder, from being small and victimized in childhood, which I use, as My guidepost, in dealing with ANY and ALL groups of males, UNKNOWN to Me! Peace & Blessings! :)
I had a gf that when scared would try and get in my armpit li had to explain i cant fight with her there i explained just stay behind me no matter what it works .
Bruce Lee taught a wonderful version of this lesson on mindset, stating that "I am not locked in a room with 10 guys that want to beat me up rather those 10 people are locked in a room with me!"
I believe this is a closer quote to what he said I would have to check in with Shannon Lee the executor of his estate to verify... I'll check her book later too it's a great book. She has access to a lot of notes on his studies on philosophy esp his fusion of Daoism and martial arts.
“When you find yourself locked in a room surrounded by your enemies, you should tell yourself... ‘I am not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.’
Problem is WE ARE NOT BRUCE LEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@michaelkraus4135 which is why, grasshopper, it is called a lesson.
@@TheJungle3333 Grasshopper! That is great. I guess, I know what you mean, like and appreciate that. You must be an expert of 70ies´ pop- and tv-culture. In german translated with "Grünschnabel" (what means "absolute beginner").
Bruce Lee never said anything even close to that.

Excellent video. I’m a defense attorney and regularly spend time with dangerous people in jails, mental health institutions, and other secure facilities. I have never stopped training and still keep up with my Muay Thai at age 42. How you carry yourself is paramount. Keep yourself strong and that confidence you build from being able to handle yourself will hopefully keep you from ever having to put your skills to the test.
he said to fight when they ask for your stuff... youre supposed to give it to them .... he said "dont be a victim" . this video could get someone killed it os dangerous
Ha, "I'm a defense attorney and spend time with dangerous people", then I try to get them off and free to get back out on the street to take advantage of others.
you need a gun brother
This is absolutely true. When I was younger I had issues with being victimized but I still remember the day that I decided no more. After that day, my attitude was "I am not to be trifled with" whereas my attitude before was nothing at all. The frame of mind you have is EVERYTHING. Criminals are looking for the weak, so don't be that. The best defense is to project strength thus not be preyed upon. Learning a martial art or boxing is a great way to achieve this.
I was attacked by 3 dudes, one with a Bowie knife. There was a staircase nearby so I positioned myself up the stairs. This definitely saved the day, they saw I had the high ground and a bottleneck and they bailed without incident!!
Good. The guy with the knife could have come running up the steps anyway. People are crazy. I've had a few close calls, myself, nothing that bad but when they realized I was going to fight back they decided to let it go. I was lucky as well. Obviously there are some people that don't care and will attack anyway.
@@damienholland9244 true, I got lucky really, it could have been real bad if they chose to keep at it.
@@adrd208 Some years ago I saw a video of a guy coming up some stairs with a knife and another guy further up the stairs tried punching him. You already know the rest of the story. Granted a kick would have been smarter but knives are bad news.
@@damienholland9244 wow, yeah I knew kicking the knife out of his hand and then his face was my best bet. Twice I've had a knife pulled out at me and it's not a good feeling for sure. Talked my way outta the first time!
I had once a gun pulled in my head in Berlin,then instead of shitting in my pays or trying something crazy or hazardous I have just laught...
This saved my life,the ways of the Lord are unreachables for us poors mortals...
Exactly, I’m generally quiet, but I’ve always said, if someone was to suddenly kick my door in and invade my house, you need to tell yourself that your the last line of defence for your family, you need to go in hard and I’d have no trouble with using a few things I’ve already prepared around the house to take that threat away without mercy. Don’t be a victim
Is good to know that I’m not the only one hiding things around or knowing how to get a weapon if necessary.
I just found this guys videos on youtube, and him just explaining how you should engage or even what type of mind set you should have is so much better than peoples phony survival tactics..
🤣 YUP the real warrior uses his head before his fist.... or foot... or the sidewalk, or handrail, or car door, or a glass window shop....😋 I carry a sturdy wine bottle opener just in case 😉
Yeah it’s nearly all mindset.
Ego , fear , confidence, self worth , motivation determination, even morality and spirituality.
Thank you Sir. A word I was Told once. “I would rather be judged by twelve than carried by six”
or you can give theml the wallet ... muggers dont have murderous intent life isnt a movie
No one's coming to Your rescue ... Based on my life experience , I can say , this quote is 1000 percent true ... Learn Boxing and MMa or atleast learn boxing and Muay Thai ... Your punches shud stop a guy and at the very least , rock him good ..... Else you will get your ass whooped like me !!!!
shiť that's rough. Hope u are alright now
@@kalippan. I'm doing okay .... Thank u for asking .... 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
it must be so scary and rough to be living in westren countries, compared to middle eastren countries i cant imagine that kind of guys because the community here is connected and helpful, the police too even if a fight breaks it ends quickly everyone jumps to the fight and stops it, and it gets friendlt and calm again when someone starts the talk about how we are connected and we are brothers
Even James bond gets whooped😕
The bigger takeaway from that is to stay out of a dangerous situation in the first place. Avoid dodgy places. Listen to your intuition. Don't let them grab you or take you to a second location, because no one is coming. I was almost strangled to death at 17 yrs old. I was one of the lucky ones. Someone did come to my rescue. The second man who was with him grew a conscience, and stopped him. Many aren't so lucky. I am 50 yrs old now, and I still remember what it felt like to come that close to being murdered. I was helpless on the ground, and no amount of training would have helped. Ladies: kicking a man in the groin doesn't always work if they are high on adrenaline or drugs, if they are wearing jeans, and if the kick isn't a strong, direct kick. Often, they will fight through it, and it only further enrages the man. Don't rely on that maneuver in your arsenal. We are much smaller and weaker than men, and they will easily overpower you - no matter your training. If they get you around your neck and off the ground, you're as good as gone, despite the cute hip thrust videos they show. When your airway is being cut off, you have precious little time to come up with something to get out of the hold. It doesn't take long before you're seeing stars, and you become weaker. Be aware of your surroundings, stay out of the fight, and live to see another day.
It's true, a lot of predators don't know how to respond when their victim reacts bravely
Had an aggressive guy on some stairs at work. He had the highground. Told him to get down from the stairs, seperated him from his buddys with my collegues and got into a fighting stance. He realized I wouldnt give him any advantage and stopped being aggressive. So I guess point 1 might be correct
There is no fair in a fight for survival.

Are you Michael Jordan the legendary basketball player?
@@jessechristian8665 brad pitt answer to my commentary in another trailers channel (my commentary was in french). He has.......14 followers🤷♂️
Just a winner and a loser.
@@AmineAmine-ec5dz
I knew he wasn't THE Michael Jordan, but I thought he might have coincidentally had been given that name by his parents. I knew a Tom Jones once (he was an asshole).
I have been cornered by three guys on one occasion and on another occasion was cornered by four guys, when your aware of situational awareness you will always find one guy uses a distraction tactic by talking while another sneaks off to the side silently, it is such a common tactic and most people are not aware of it which is why sucker punches happen, first occasion i walked towards the door way of a bar i was in they will have had to come through a narrow gap to fight me, second occasion i walked between two parked cars again this is not to say your not going to get hurt, but it will benefit when they can't surround you and you take away there advantage. My point is if you want to look like a movie star your dead trust me, most people will try to fight like there good at it and pretty, no i don't if i fight you can bet it will be ugly but more effective. And i will strike first cause im controlling the fight. Also they will try to intimidate you search for weakness as mentioned dont get angry, sad or scared your giving the bad guy what he or they want, if you dont react you will find the intimidator becomes the intimidated. You also have to be aware that to the bad guy your the bad guy so when fighting be animalistic with him, forget looking pretty , be ugly and kill.
Mark gives excellent advice again. Another tip is always look who is around you, don’t put yourself in vulnerable positions, TRUST NOBODY!!!!!
Agreed, I would also add to always be aware of what's going on around you, and NEVER let anyone get to close to you in an argument or disagreement, maintain space.
‘No one’s coming to your rescue’ is the best advice in self defence. If you look to be saved you’ll be hurt.
Also, hesitation gets you killed. If you aren't prepared to use your firearm on another person when the situation calls for it, don't get one. It will only be taken and used on you.
My Dad always told me to use whatever is available as a weapon and that life isn't fair. Attack the attacker and be done with it. His lessons as a Marine Corp Sargent in WWII.
Too bad you didn’t learn how to spell “sergeant “ correctly!
Good lesson to pass on.
Those dudes who tried to abduct that woman, had no masks on which means they were going, to make sure she didn’t live.
Muggings and assaults in public and the like have skyrocketed in the last couple of years largely due the excuse and encouragement for people to wear masks in public spaces.
It's not hard to compute.
Facts
wow...
Or they were not concerned with being charged with kidnapping.
@@pedrobrando4606 That's a really bad, life changing charge, though. No mask = more likely to kill you if it's a kidnapping.
This is very good advice. The only thing I would add is that this is what you do at the very end of a process when all else fails. What I mean by this is you can avoid 99% of BS on the street by not being there. Spot potential "issues" and just cross the street. Don't be there. Don't give the bad guy the opportunity to deploy his "skills." The reason I can't be victimized right now is I am not on the street, I am at home. But given that, if your situation is confronted by a bad guy, this is very good advice.
Man these contents are addictive, I'm not sure how much could i apply to actual scenario but the mindset that we are predators not the prey to take down bad guys is game changer
I grew up on the streets and in a gang, but eventually got out of the gang and off the streets, went to Viet Nam. At age 30 I started studying traditional Japanese Ju Jitsu. All of this reinforced exactly what you have said in your video, well done sir and sadly all to true.
While working in a psych ward, I had to single-handedly restrain a patient who was 3" taller and 50 lbs heavier than I. He was breaking my grip because he was stronger. So I spun him around, put my body weight against the small of his back, and ran him into a wall. It seemed he was as stunned by my dirty tactics as he was by his face hitting the wall! He didn't give me any more problems from that day forward.
Nicely said. The difference between a fighter and someone normal, is that the fighter knows how dangerous people are around him and when to be ready to fight. You have to practice sparring or you will get shaky when people attack. Most people go into shock as soon as people yell.
Yep, "fight or flight (flee)" "dogs with a big bark and no bite. The people who present themselves as "badasses " and talk about being in fights all the time are not as deadly as the people who don't talk and just look and listen.
That was one of my favorite things about boot camp. They instill that warrior mentality in you pretty quickly.
Personally, this is why I prefer concealed carry over open carry. Just me, but as a normal civilian, I follow the "weapons are meant to be felt, not seen" (especially with knives) philosophy as it's a good way to suddenly turn the tables on an attacker and they, realizing they're not prepared are more likely to turn tail and run. A weapon is meant to be felt by the attacker once you've deployed it, not on display for them to evaluate prior to launching their attack.
Not only that, but a visible weapon can incite an attack, if that is what the perpetrator is going after. People have had their weapons stolen from them while carrying.
Expertly said . First strikes win . Sometimes to survive you have to bring out the ‘psychopath’ in you or you may die . You got to fight with teeth and nails if you want to survive the criminal .Bitter truth for then non antisocials but it’s the truth . Thank you for providing real insight into things so people snap out of their sometimes delusional beliefs .
Psychopaths fight to destroy life, heroes fight to protect it.
Big difference.
Lose-lose scenario always for the Good guy.. He will either end up at a Hospital blooded or in a jail cell.
As long as you're not destroying them you're not gonna end up in jail
Always better to be in front of a judge than in front of a doctor
Its better to go to jail than to land in hospital bloodied !!!! I hv faced this bro ....
Lol If that's what's on your mind,you're done....AND you've proved his point.
Bullshit ahahh i never been chaught of street fights ur overreating
There is a win that you defend yourself
Not always go to hospital ur clearly never been infights
✊👍❗ You explained a basic truth that protected me throughout my whole life! I'm 67 now (worked in the banking industry) and bad things happen, yes - I got hit several times but I n e v e r went down to the ground and in the end the attacker ran away! It's my RIGHT to survive unharmed!
As a guy that started doing Karate at 17yrs old and had clubs till I was 40 I can say this guy is spot on...... You have to be ahead of them in EVERY way.
These days at 68yrs I have a punch bag hanging up and a treadmill and a huge amount of weapons (legal) all over my home and not one firearm. You would come in and not even notice them.......
Dont be the victim..... they get no prizes!
40 years old here, did a couple years of kick boxing in my youth, never stopped exercising, I currently lift and run a couple miles almost every day, I do carry my gun with me. Offer me the better tool, I’ll take it.

@@davisandotube Where do you live where you can carry a gun, I want to move there.
@@ibberman Miami, FL. Even though I live in a “good area” I still carry, you never know…
Karate is a great activity but not the best for self defense. There are just too many holes in the skill set. Most fights in the real world involve grappling and karate does nothing against grappling. Also, why do you not have a firearm? It's by far the best self defense weapon and no amount of karate is going to defend against an armed assailant.
When your life or your family/friends lives are on the line and there is no referee around. You gotta do what you gotta do to win. These people don't have the strength to be a proper human and humble themselves in a martial arts class bullies are the real weak dishonorable people.
"if you look like food you will be eaten"
~ Clint Smith
YOUR ADVICE applies to more than self defence. For example in HOCKEY, you never fight a guy who's ready and eager, although it sometimes happens on the ice when you have no choice.. But here is a REAL NHL HOCKEY MO for a fight; YOU WAIT until your " victim " is dead tired after a shift and dragging his ass off the ice, but before he makes it to his bench, YOU CROSSCHECK HIM, GLOVES OFF AND YOU'RE SWINGING BEFORE HE KNOWS HE'S IN A FIGHT.
This is something I learned when I was very young, but I've never been able to explain it as well as Dr. Phillips does here.
Been watching this channel for a good while, and this is the best video yet. Wonderful and practical insight. Thank you from Texas!
Rule #1, The first hit is the best hit. Do not wait. If you truly believe someone is gonna attack you, then take the opportunity to get the advantage by striking first.
Very good. I used to practice Aikido. One of their teachings was " Control the attack by leading it." What you present here seems to fit into that philosophy. Look for weaknesses in the attacker and use them against him (or her). This means being at least on the same level if not one step ahead of the attack.
Aikido should really be banned. Aikido instills into the unaware that they're learning self-defense, when in reality they're just learning some dance moves
A while back my best friend fell victim to this scam and joined Aikido. His trainers were claiming they could take on dozens of people at the same time, but for me it was clear these trainers had never had a real fight in their life
This friend practiced for years and this did nothing to his fighting skills, or confidence, because he too eventually understood on a subconscious level that he still cant fight worth anything despite years of Aikido. Like, he constantly talked about how effective Aikido was, but he would never say yes to a fight or would try to actually defend himself in a street fight
"Control the attack by leading it" just sounds cool. There's nothing to it. Anyone could make up hundreds of such phrases to make their sport sound cooler, but such phrases have no substance. I mean, has anyone ever claimed that you should not control someone's attack? Its these kinds of language tricks that scam artists use to pursuade that their sport is better than others
Here I'll just make up a random phrase on the spot, and nobody can disagree with it: Defend the attack by making the attack.
This is entirely correct. If attacked respond with overwhelming force to stop the threat, because we are automatically disadvantaged because the attacker has chosen the time, place and method of attack. We, are in response mode already behind the curve. Prevent this as much as possible by being aware of one’s surroundings. Yes there is no “fair” in an attack on you.
Literally Machiavelli. He wondered why bad people win and it was simple; they cheat. The answer was for honorable people to use those tactic against them but once one goes back to dealing with good people they leave those tactics behind so as not to become bad themselves.
Agreed.
Situational awareness or presense of mind, quick physical reactions or reflexes, mental strength or toughness, composure or self-confidence, resourcefulness, the instinct or the will to fight back and defend yourself, knowing when to fight back or when to just run away as fast as you can, avoiding people places and situations that potentially lead to heated altercations or violent encounters, and your martial arts/fighting/self-defense skills and techniques (if you have any or some) which you have spent long periods of time practicing and training, can drastically increase your chances of successfully defending yourself and surviving potentially violent self-defense encounters. Speaking based on my personal experience as a self-defense practitioner.
You are so right thank you always for your advise . The problem Is that in our society today with so much crime and with the system that we have. In a situations like this you are always gambling with your life or to go to jail and the line is thin . Because the prosecutor lots of times cares only about prosecution’s lawyers About money and you will be judge by people that probably
Had never been in a situation. Like the one on the video. So if you strike first and be the agresor some states will put you in jail. And you have to take a fast decision you don’t have the time like they do in court to analyze every little detail . Not only you have to take a fast decision you have to take it with a hi level of fear and stress. The only way I can explain people some times the feeling is . Have you ever been Attack by a bee 🐝 ? Why do we Trow so many hands to the air till the treat is not there ? You don’t throw one hit you trow many or wen you see bug that probably is not even going to hurt you I mean we see women scream or even guys jump out there seat wen they feel a Spider on there body’s right . Well amplified that many times and that’s is how you will feel wen you get stabbed by some one trying to robe you shot you . I can say by experience that is way worst then been Sting by a bee or a Spider, my advise try to do everything you can to avoid been on that situation on the first place try to be loud now in days every body has phones they are recording make sure that people around you know that you are not the agresor criminals don’t like the attention . Some people that are just looking for fights and people hi on drugs that have a predatory behavior you can see them coming but some places n big city’s like Mexico City were there is a lot of organice crime and profecional criminals trust me you won’t see it coming no matter how much awareness you think you have.
You are correct an acquaintance in the US Army soldier, decent ,big well trained Africa-American , got into an altercation in Honduras with a gang member , he grappled with the guy thought he had the situation under control ...but the gang guy pulled out a knife and went straight for the heart killed him...another example with a gang member an Australian friend in Roatan got into a fight ,all was under control and calmed down the gang guy went home nearby got a gun and shot the Aussie in the back...
No conscience, no qualms about taking a precious life, no self-control and fighting to the death...do not ever underestimate a Latino gang member...
I had a guy go completely mad on me for nothing.
He came at me.
I pulled out my knife and told him 'don't do it man'.
He decided to go away, but not without laughing and screaming uncontrollably.
It's a weird world..
It has to be ‘me, me, me, me, finish’. Pre-emotive striking with level 11 intensity against a level 10 threat. When you can or see-escalate, escape, evade, loophole, you give it everything you have with everything you have at your disposal- you have to win and you must ‘out-bad’ the bad guy(s).
I taught self-defense at my kung fu san soo studio for years. And I taught them there was only one rule...... strike first, strike hard, and when the attacker is disabled, run like hell.
There's a very big problem with this video; It's very hard to imbue other people with the mindset you describe. I can teach people physical moves but I can't teach them how to fight. To really know how to fight is to know and internalize being the predator. This is a hard place for the average middle class person to get to.
Its not that hard. I'm a middle class guy, I worked hard for everything I have. I'm not an ATM or an electronics store. Nobody is taking from me and if that leads to somebody not coming home its not going to be. They put themselves in that situation, their choice, their outcome. I am just going about my day.
@@BrianParkes i agree with you, i'm older than you and hate what
is going on in this country. my mind set is already there. i will put
down someone who is acting like a thug. neck , knee does not
matter and the the first hit will count.
@@BrianParkes I think you're missing the point somewhat. This may be true of you, I don't know because obviously I don't know you. But I do know the people I train with (judo) and they are nice people. Sure they know physical stuff, but that tends to go out the window when confronted by a real baddie. Someone from a really bad upbringing is literally wired different from those with the comfortable middle class upbringing. Their amygdala (the centre for aggression) tends to develop more in people who have tough upbringings. Now it's easy to say things when the shit isn't hitting the fan. It's different when it is.
In my experience violence is best avoided at all costs. Sure I'll do what I gotta do, but these days, it never comes to that, and hopefully never will again.
@@shaunclubberlang2887 I understand where you are coming from. I do believe aggression can be taught though, the military have been doing this exact thing for hundreds of years. They take a bunch of young boys from a council estate, or a bunch of young middle-class graduates at sandhurst and train them in a way that allows them to turn on a form of controlled aggression at will. Using intelligence, skill and unfair advantage to kill the enemy in large numbers. Developing that mindset is part of the reason they still do bayonet training. You just need to internalise and visualise that aggression beforehand so that when the situation demands it, it is there to be tapped into.
@@BrianParkes It can be taught to a degree but you can't escape the aforementioned brain physiology. That's a fact. The training that the military go through allow the soldiers to emulate the aggression of those from bad upbringings, but if it isn't at their core, it never will be. Perhaps why veterans come back as psychological basket cases.
Anyway, you say boys from a council estate. A lot of these boy will already have the innate aggression due to their upbringing. The army just channels it.
I'm not saying it's impossible to imbue in someone with the necessary aggression. I'm saying it's difficult.

The young man has a very good point there. When I was much younger I had occasion to visit some pretty sketchy
As I walked along, I'd keep an eye out for railings blocking falls to the ground, posts, decorative rocks/gravel. Once the dregs made their move to attack, I could use these situations to disable and defend. Personally, I liked simply snatching them up and tossing them over a rail to the ground which was, (hopefully) a few stories below.
After a crummy childhood and having formed many of these beliefs and attitudes it's nice to hear someone say it's ok to think and react in a vicious manner Unfortunately , now I'm normal . Thanks Doc Now we gotta go all Eli or something
I saw two men have a disagreement in a pub, one said, "Outside" so they could fight it out and the other said, "Alright." First man as he walked through the doorway had his head smashed off the heavy wooden door frame from behind by the other man and knocked him out before even having a chance to go outside. Other man went back to playing pool.
I tell you something about helping the weak, I was standing there with my hands full, still injured walking with a crutch basket in the other hand. She just stood there standing & staring, I had to lean out & put the basket behind her.
Helping the weak 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s a joke, either you kill or get killed, I‘m gonna take one with me when I die so don’t be angry.
i've had people ask me why i wear such a large knife on my hip, and my answer is always the same. it's not a knife it's a job application only the most serious minded need apply. because that takes all the if's and maybe's out of the equation. if they are willing to risk stepping up against 14" of steel then i know how this has to end, the words "have you had enough" will be replaced by "how you doing with your last breath there"
Absolutely clear and precise advice to keep you alive in desperate situations.
I'm 63 yrs old, disabled, and couldn't fight my way out of a paper bag. I've become hyperaware of my surroundings, especially walking in parking lots, gas stations...etc. If anything or anyone looks out of place or sketchy I will not stop. There's no reason to risk my life if I feel unsafe. America has become a dangerous place.
Stay dangerous. Things happen fast.
as a Canadian I can say that too many Canadians not only don't believe this but will outright argue the opposite and that a call to the police will protect them from immediate harm... blows my mind.
The master always ends his videos with a charming " have a nice day smile". I pray that I'd have the ability to do so after having to save my own life out here.
I was thinking about what the presenter said about exploiting the weaknesses of the attacker. I find it difficult to think about defence even when I’m not under attack. But I was attacked both verbally and physically recently. By a neighbour who was basically jealous of me. Well that’s all I can think as to why I was attacked. I was ran at and pushed back to the ground. I had hold of him with two hands, and him me. He was screaming like an animal. I was trying to calm him down, but to no avail. In the struggle I got a hold of my thoughts and kind of bench pressed him up off me, he had a shocked look on his face and as he rolled to the side, I got on top of him, similarly to the cage fighters who get in the winning position. As it became apparent that he had less upper body strength and he couldn’t lift me off, he changed from aggressor to the injured party. Saying get off me several times. I said I would let him get up and told him to get back in his little house and stay there. That was 10 months ago. I believe he would strike again but the shock of him being held down keeps him thinking of rematch. He has an advantage of being 46 I I’m 63 and had a heart attack 4 years ago. So I must take care of myself. Any ideas of how to go forward with this ?
Cya (cover your a**) Need to document this with (iPhone photo of neighbor)cops, neighbors, friends etc.. if something goes down again, you’re the victim not the perp. Also walking with cane was/is fashionable and possible deterrent . Walk with awareness but don’t aggravate over being attacked.
Get a camera so that your yard is being recorded. That way, if he attacks you again, there is video evidence for court. If he persists with harrassment, document everything, record with your phone, and get a restraining order. If he violates it, call the police. In the meantime, if he isn't doing anything, simply ignore him. Don't appear weak, but don't try to assert dominance to upset him. Just continue to live your life. You may consider getting weapons training if you're comfortable, and make sure it's locked up while you're away so that he can't break in and steal it. If you should continue having issues, consulting with an attorney regarding real estate laws can also help, because they can assist you with how to proceed with protecting yourself if you have an HOA, need to build a fence, etc. Good luck.
Best thing too master is find Trouble before it finds you and keep youre head cool.
Very true.
I would change that to: IDENTIFY trouble before it finds you, then AVOID it. If it's unavoidable, remain calm, and use all available tools to come out on top. Fight dirty to stay alive.
@@jenx5870 look, have you never bin to a nightclub and you have a feeling that there is something toxic in the air ( this how we call it in the Netherlands) , than its up to you too stay or go...... This feeling you also can have in a bank or shop...... I dont know how i have get it, i have train my life martial arts and bin a soldier for 4 years know i am 53 years but never bin in a street fight. This is one of my favorite channels on youtube because they dont bull💩 and give good advice.
That makes sense. I'm glad that there isn't really much crime in my neighborhood but Its better to be safe than sorry and be at least somewhat prepared even if generally you have nothing to worry about. the problems begin when you are in the area where there is a high potential for danger. Then you have to be truly prepared and I'm not at that level yet. I do generally know where those areas are and what to avoid but in some cases it can be unavoidable. The problem is that its not only fists you have to worry about in those places but guns as well. and that is a big issue, because your toughness doesn't matter at that point.
If you're in America this means carrying a gun, knife, and wearing kevlar under your shirt.
“Be a bad guy to the bad guy” 👍🏽
It is not like it is common, but some friends and one family member have been attacked (randomly) and ended up with life changing injuries. Those things never even reached the news. That got me thinking. If I ever end up in a fight again, I will fight dirty. Because they do. I will not elaborate on this, but let me put it this way: I will do my best to be the last man standing. I´d rather spend time in jail than in hospital.
But it is also very hard to foresee - if someone really hates you, he will get some friends and attack you from behind with a baseball bat. Not much chance there.
Hmmm. Friends, plural? Baseball bat, as in deadly weapon? Drop them before they get close enough to hit you. This is why we have more than one bullet in a magazine. For multiple attackers. Some people want to take away your right to protect yourself from a deadly attack, possibly by multiple attackers. Definitely requiring more than one bullet to stop them from attacking. My ex broke my ankle and permanently disabled me. He's been stalking me for nine years now. I don't want to find out what he has planned, should he break into my home when the 10 yr restraining order expires. You might think it's a hopeless scenario, but in your example, I am calling my attorney and being released with no charges due to self defense.
@@jenx5870 It is hard to drop someone that you do not even see, even with a gun, right? If you see the attackers and have a gun, what makes you sure that you don´t hit any other person that is not involved in the attack on you?
It is in th US you have these crazy gunlaws - but perhaps the US wants to go back to the wild west? The risk of getting shot there is higher than in the Middle East.
I feel sad about what you experience, I hope it all goes well.
Yes you should always expect the unexpected meaning implementation of situational awareness of your surroundings at all times
Which in turn, makes you less likely to be a victim in the first place. Criminals tend to not attack those who look confident and aware. They are looking for those who look weak and have their faces buried in their phone, because they can sneak up on them.
No one's coming to your rescue! You have to be the agent of your own self-defense! Truer words were never spoken..
You explained why self-defense is a myth, and why it fails for most people. At some point in an attack you have to become the attacker.
Agreed. The biggest myth is that you will be attacked at your weakest point. Hence you are more likely to be fighting from a disadvantage. That's the self defense myth.
Rules apply in the ring.
Mutually agreed upon combat for sport.
In self-defense, the only rule is don't be a victim. Do whatever your attacker makes necessary for you to survive the attack.
End it, and end it quickly, any way you can.
If you let them end it, you have no idea what condition you'll be in when they finally get tired.
Don't let them have the time to get tired.
I bought a small 1000 lumen flashlight and some 18650 rechargeable batteries two years ago originally because I wanted something I could put on my bicycle to use as a daytime running light during the day and provide a very strong beam at night.
It makes a fantastic tactical weapon for low light environments because you can blind the opposition with it before using it to hammer fist them in the face and head. You are giving yourself an “unfair” advantage by blinding your opponent. It makes it virtually impossible to mount any kind of effective attack.
Get the most powerful small flashlight you can and keep it in an outside sleeve pocket just out of plain sight for quick retrieval if needed.
Doc, I am reminded of 2 things: 1 your video on "Color Threats" and the film Danny, or Unleashed in some places: the point is:
You have to turn it up to 100 and at the moment and then bring it down or keep it there as the situation requires.
The collar needs to come off and unleash the beast until you feel like you can sing and skip away from the situation that YOU JUST ENDED.
The other thing I emphasize is: DON'T SHOW OFF. This is the thing in materialist cultures, the fancier your watch/phone/car/house you have the more likely to tempt someone to try and take it from you. Be modest, jealousy and greed can open the door to anger and the desire to take at whatever the cost.
The last time I was confronted by someone I knew exactly what my move would be. He was a long skinny bloke and it was an enclosed space. I knew by his approach that if he saw fear in my eyes, he would make his move. I never showed fear and he ended up offering drugs. Never saw him again in my neighborhood.
Good point linking to the video on Coopers Colours. Thanks for adding your thoughts and experience, Sir.
Excelent video! Very instructive about the bad guys and their predatory behavior, and how to deal with that
Fight Science is at the top of the Video Information channels with regard to self-defense.
Very few times have I ever used violence on someone but there is a point when it is survival. ONCE I threw sand into a guy's eyes nose and mouth ~ Then I broke his ribs with one punch.
ONCE I did a flying side kick on a guy who had stolen with an accomplice my artwork and the next day we found his strong tanto knife where he dropped it in the surf. I came out of the rim as they ran down the wet sand on the beach. I hit him right on the neck below the jaw and he dropped everything. It was in the black of night the only light was from the spotlights on houses. I carried myself like the tough guy and saw many ugly contenders back off when I gave them full eye contact. Having a weapon is good but not as good as being ready to fully commit and fight for your life furiously from the beginning. Other times I may have surprised people and got involved defending old people but I never was challenged by the law. When evil is casing you you must frighten it away ~ YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SELF DEFENSE ~
There are books written about the mindset of criminals. They have narcissistic tendencies and in their mind they get to take what they want, when they want, how they want and where they want. Their victim has no say and are simply objects to be exploited. Therefore criminals have no remorse nor empathy because only their needs and wants are relevant.
Exactly. This defined predatory behaviour.
Love this video...
A lot of self defense videos are full of Fallacies and sometimes downright dangerous "advice"...
Can't find anything to dispute here though...
Thank you Sir.🙏🏽
Agree. No need for useless beliefs. There are grizzly bears where I live in the forest here, they don't play by human rules. Neither do bad guys.
You may have already covered this, but the big holes for me are: How would this apply to males, How would this apply to females, How would this apply to the elderly, How would this apply if you're just generally weak, and How would this apply to multiple attackers.
Each case is different. There are many factors
You can't Always win anyway
You have to read and distinguish if you can or cannot fight
Good point. I have in other videos. Although it would be worthwhile pulling it altogether in a single video. Just need to think of the title first.
I Just wanna add that it is those who can fight that should help the vulnerable ones ✌ But we aren't always there...
A "Predator" explained to me years ago that while most people were good at making money....they did not know how to spend the money so it was only right that he took the money as he knew how to have fun with the money. If they got hurt in the transfer of the money was not his concern.
This video is ABSOLUTLY the BEST complete survival instruction information I have ever seen. It's not just about tactics but all about the manditory mentality of a survivalist. Even the comments are EXELLENT. I study and train in survival arts from a Biblical prospective and every word in this video hasl it's origin in THE HOLY BIBLE Psalms18
Plans seldom work in fights… practice and get your response times faster so you can react more quickly when you are “flowing like water”.
I'm kinda like the Terminator-- I look at a guy approaching me- and get these little glimpses of the entire person with the WEAK spots and SIGNALS points out to me... almost like they're labled they way they do in his vision!! ha. THAT was what I learned long ago-- anyone coming toward you- size them up completely for weakness- attitude- energy- etc...BEFORE they get a chance to do anything.
I always carry my edc tools ,especially my flashlight. I’ve had a few encounters where the strobe was enough and one where the strobe combined with draw of my neck knife encouraged an attacker to move on to less deadly prey
problem with what you teach is when you strike first you automatically become the aggressor under the law and you get a criminal charge. This is why alot of people wait to be hit or block the first punch. There is a lot of people who literally do everything so you hit them first, putting you in the wrong no matter what they did.
That isn't always the case, though. A person doesn't have to wait to be hit by a bat or stabbed by a knife first to identify deadly force. If the person is holding the weapon, and coming at them in a threatening manner, that is enough for a reasonable person to infer that deadly force is about to be used, and that their life is in danger. Therefore, equal deadly force is allowed to be used in self defense. Self defense laws are about what a reasonable person would consider a threat to their safety or life.
0:22 amazing just amazing Insight
Ok, here it is my two cents. Iam a martial artist. Iam skilled. I have a 3 foot circle around me at all times. If anyone violates that circle, they get kicked, knee, shin, groin...you get it. Something to get their attention. From there it only gets worse for the attacker. I live by an anagram S.A.M. SIGHT, AIR, MOBILITY. If they can't breath, if they can't walk, if they can't see....you get it. You need to learn where to hit a bad guy. Hope this helps.
9 times out of 10 an idiot or bully just never expect anything back usually just being loud is enough for them to shrink back down but if you even feel like anything physical is going to happen always hit first hard on the chin and hold with other hand and keep hitting till it's understood you will hit back .it really is all in the mind
Don't let their fear stop you either.......
Concealed carry is what comes to mind while listening to you.
NY should start rounding up folks loitering around.
I have not heard about proximics since albert t hall was in my reading list for anthropology in college in 1976. It now occurs to me that proximics is a good perspective to have if you have a CCW
%100 mate very well said!
"you are trying to play fair in game which is supposed to be played unfair"
I heard it from a Producer online...
Impressed opition, totally agree.
No one is coming to help you, or defend you, or will be WAY too late, and like you said, use the elbow to move them and use the other hand to punch them in the throat !
For a time now I have known the term self-defense to be incomplete! A fighting system needs two parts. Self-defense and also Enemy-assault training! It seems the Law's of a state has made the term assault a difficult practice to admit because it is a term used a lot to put individuals into prison!
A good thumb in the eye tends to bring down the tough guys pretty quick
Predators do follow some basic rules, like is the benefit of attacking someone greater than the likely cost. just making it clear you see them as predators causes them to think twice about attacking you. So situational awareness is essential, you need to spot them from the start and make it clear you know what they are.
People do this with wild animals as well. Some free dive with Great White sharks but follow some basic rules. You always maintain eye contact and let the predator know you know they are there. If you want them to come in closer then you make your body smaller by pulling in your arms and legs. If you want them to back off you spread your body out as far as possible.
In the case of predators carrying something even an umbrella or a walking stick and having the right body language can make a potential attacker look elsewhere. They are looking for an easy target and one that won't injure them if they attack.
You have to be prepared to injure a potential attacker to the greatest degree possible and make it clear to them by eye contact and body language that any attack will cost them more than they get.
"Be the bad guy to the bad guy" !! In open and passive aggressive attacks, I might add. My two cents.
Well.....First, you sure don't stand there with your hands in your pocket! Pity Sakes!
