Honestly, when you think Kevin Secours can not possibly jam more useful info into a clip he does this. Man, every damn syllable was gold. Not only am I impressed by your techniques, but you have an even rarer ability to convey that information. Amazing, and thank you!
You've clearly given this stuff an enormous amount of thought. You've also got a very down to earth attitude and your art includes compassion, which only makes it stronger. Excellent.
I think Kevin Secours is 1 of or perhaps THE BEST fully realistic selfdefence and most effective fighting teachers on the planet. I mean I haven't found anyone to both have the same level of indsight as Kevin in the same field and still give very easy to understand but still fully anlyzed and broken down complex instrucktions with same or better success. It feels like he can see more dimentions then the rest of us. Like as if we can only see up to physical 3D and Kevin sees 4D or higher and still instructs us so it's easy to understand and remain interresting with evergrowing better results. I guess Cristmas just arrived :D.
Thank you very much for the video. As a high school teacher, I’ve had to break up a number of fights. While people tell me I’ve done a great job in doing so (I have many years martial arts experience), my biggest fear is hurting the students I’m separating, especially girls (the worst fights to have to break up!) I’ve seen some questionable videos on this subject on RUclips, but your attention to unpredictability as well as care to not harming anyone if possible are wonderful.
Unmuzzled Cranium56 Thankfully, no. I know it’s a possibility, but fights at school nowadays (by the tine I and others get to them, anyway), are usually recorded on other student phones. Not always, though. I’ve been lucky, as false accusations and outright accidents are always possibilities.
I believe Kevin MUST have a background in teaching (education).. he has an unparalleled ability to condense information into small concentrated and comprehensive chunks. I also think he might be a vegan but I don’t judge.
very good information however in the UK chokeholds are considered high risk and most security firms do not allow them and if something goes wrong you will be thrown under the bus for it, best to just avoid them entirely
If you in a lethal force scenario a choke hold would still be permitted for you and far more reliable than hitting. I can’t fathom having survived most of what I have without chokes.
Golden info as always is this part of a longer video that is avalable for purchase? I have already several of your instructional videos and find them excellent.
So context is everything. As a bouncer, there was often an expectation to get in there immediately. So many times I ran in blindly. Tactically this is never a great idea but professionally there was an expectation to stop the fight immediately. Similarly, if your loved one is involved the emotion can trigger the same. So if you do go in immediately, charge and push and displace one of the combatants aggressively to break their connection and create distance and disrupt their neural processing. Ideally however, I would like to survey for a second. Usually, I will circle, preferably outside of reach, 2-3 meters away if space permits. I usually would keep an arm out at my side, and quickly walk part of the perimeter to keep any crowds away , to just give myself 1-2 second. I would use this time to survey and adjust the situation. Usually bark out a command or two to either the crowd or combatants to stay cognitive, establish limits and support the legality of my intervention, and gain information. There are four key entry points -like the four corners of a square. These are the 4 rear diagonal corners -roughly 45 degrees to the rear of each aggressor . I try tie Bree by there, so I am closer to nine aggressor and entering from their rear to surprise and smother and further from the second attacker to maximize my traction time. I will have videos in this in the coming months ti support my new book on school violence. Let me know if this makes sense.
I remember a while ago we discussed wind vs blood chokes and you gave me some fascinating info; this puts a lot of that information into even greater context. The video itself was also really well made. That last section was really interesting; does the abandoning drill provide a get-out if you chose the 'wrong side'?
Thank you. Yes, the abandon drill could be for that but more often its because a second person just attacks. Sometimes, innocent victims galvanize and jump in when they see an opening. Often, spectators, girlfriends, buddies, jump in as well. The audience effect cannot be underestimated. Either way, it also reinforces your ability to achieve the harness which bolsters the initial goal. It gets you used to the mess of reality.
@@Combatprofessor Ah i see, thanks. That is something that absolutely baffles me, randoms will run in and just kick someone and then once the phones are out everyone wants to 'perform'. It's pretty sickening. Definitely not something average sensei prepares you for haha. Thanks again.
1-ideally you work in a team , 2-it does happen that the other attacker stops (many participants are unwilling and looking for an out.) and 3- if they chase then you buckle and drop your first subject and charge the second. At this point usually your response has to escalate to chokes or striking
What would you do when e.g. you drag an aggressive dude away from a woman and manage to get him onto the ground in a dominant position, but the former victim sees it as an invitation to jump full force on him?
That’s what the last drill is for. You choose to either abandon the first subject to address the second, realizing you may need to repeat this a few times, or if you deem the first subject the greater threat, you remain on the primary and attempt to steer them away from the secondary attacker . This can mean weathering impacts and shielding the primary. This must involve strong verbal commands, commitment to the end goal and the willingness to abandon the primary at any point to engage the second. Those dynamics become very dangerous without back up.
@@Combatprofessor Thank you. It never looks good when you beat a small woman, but if the other is on the ground, she can actually do some serious damage. I've actually met a skinny woman that broke a skinheads knee for a racial slur and she was about half his weight class... in a fair fight, I doubt that she would have had a chance.
@@Combatprofessor Thank you very much! Something dear to my heart would be levels of escalation. People are always obsessed with the most effective, or lethal technique, but too often we can't morally go that far, be it that the opponent is a kid, a girl, an old man, or a drunk friend... moreover, excessive violence could escalate the situation or create a cycle of revenge. In a way, I would feel better, if I knew that it was a life of death fight, because then I don't need to worry about being excessive. However, people die from unarmed men and all started with a pushing contest or a slap... I won't ask you for legal advice, but I'd like to know how you would decide how much force is appropriate, when you can't really know the intent of the enemy...
Honestly, when you think Kevin Secours can not possibly jam more useful info into a clip he does this. Man, every damn syllable was gold. Not only am I impressed by your techniques, but you have an even rarer ability to convey that information. Amazing, and thank you!
That is very kind. I am so glad you enjoyed it.
You've clearly given this stuff an enormous amount of thought. You've also got a very down to earth attitude and your art includes compassion, which only makes it stronger. Excellent.
Thanks James. Its been lots and lots of failed interventions, lots of reflection and changes and of course great teachers and great students.
Thanks for sharing this !
My pleasure. If you ever have any topic requests, just let me know.

Wow. Thank you deeply. I really appreciate it. It means a lot to know the material is reaching people. Let me know if you have topic requests..
Based on my own personal experiences of breaking up fights, your video is perfect!
Thank you . That’s great to hear.

Chris Mayclin have you ever been accused of hitting a student whilst trying to break up a fight??
Unmuzzled Cranium56 Thankfully, no. I know it’s a possibility, but fights at school nowadays (by the tine I and others get to them, anyway), are usually recorded on other student phones. Not always, though. I’ve been lucky, as false accusations and outright accidents are always possibilities.
Chris Mayclin thank god bahaha, but damn, keep up the great work
Unmuzzled Cranium56 Thank you very much, brother. Take care!
This advice is surprisingly good.
Very helpful.
Glad to hear it Robert. I made a LOT of mistakes as a young bouncer to get to these. lol.
excellent. excellent work!!! Super bravo! Editing/storytelling approach is very very nice as well!! Thank you for this!
Best video edit so far!!! Keep it up
New pc. Much stronger. Thanks for noticing.
solid,solid info here just in this short video. working in corrections this is priceless. alot of c.o. have no idea how to handle this situation.
Thank you. I’m glad to hear it matches your experience
Always a pleasure
Thank you. All the best from Montreal
I believe Kevin MUST have a background in teaching (education).. he has an unparalleled ability to condense information into small concentrated and comprehensive chunks. I also think he might be a vegan but I don’t judge.
yep and yep. B.Ed. 15 years experience as a corporate trainer at an international level. Vegan most of my life.
Great information!
Thanks for watching.
Imma show this to the teacher at my school cuz they be making the fight worse
Always impressive. Thanks for taking on your time to share your knowledge .
Thank you for watching. All the best from Montreal.
Excellent video!
Thanks Greg
Outstanding video. Everyone in the business can benefit from this.
Thank you for watching.
amazing! and truly vital information! Many Thanks Kevin!
I really enjoyed this, thanks for the tips.
Hi Kevin! Another amazing video! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you sir.
Informative and logical video. I am waiting for next splinter cell
Lol. Me too but I’m not involved unfortunately.
@@Combatprofessor sorry to hear that. You gave spirit and lot reality to that game.lt was cool . And still is !
Thanks but I’m sure it will be great no matter who they use. As a fan I just hope we get a new game soon.
Thank you!
Carlos Colon thanks for watching

Thank you, 1 question, while there fighting what do you do?
thank you so much for being specific and not confusing 😁

Amen to that.
I have never had a fight with Kevin Secours and I probably never will have one. Why should I learn to break it up?
Lol
What do you do about the other person in the fight while your restraining the other?
1-ideally you work in a team , 2-it does happen that the other attacker stops (many participants are unwilling and looking for an out.) and 3- if they chase then you buckle and drop your first subject and charge the second. At this point usually your response has to escalate to chokes or striking
@@Combatprofessor thank you
Aptly named: The Combat Professor.
Thank you sir
So I happens when you can't pin a big guy down
If resistance escalates, forces escalated-chokes, strikes or abandon
What would you do when e.g. you drag an aggressive dude away from a woman and manage to get him onto the ground in a dominant position, but the former victim sees it as an invitation to jump full force on him?

This must involve strong verbal commands, commitment to the end goal and the willingness to abandon the primary at any point to engage the second. Those dynamics become very dangerous without back up.
That may merit a follow up video. Let me know if you have more scenarios or questions I can address in it
@@Combatprofessor Thank you. It never looks good when you beat a small woman, but if the other is on the ground, she can actually do some serious damage.
