“I’m not looking him in the eyes. Him and I aren’t gonna make babies.” Coffee flew out of my nose on that one! 😂 Excellent teaching and sparring session. Start slow, then go harder. You don’t train to NEVER take blows. Because as he says, you are in a fight. You are inevitably GOING to take a couple of blows. The whole point is to learn blocking techniques and counter techniques to lessen the severity of the blows that you will inevitably take.
@@SlickCat Is that so. The boxers that say that are simply ham and eggers. Many top notch champion boxers were defensive fighters. Muhammad Ali. Rope-a-dope” was nothing more than Ali backing himself up on the ropes and letting his opponent punch him in the arms while blocking until they wore themselves out then Ali would escape, turn them into the ropes then pummel them. Floyd Mayweather built his entire undefeated career on defense. Backing up, letting his opponent chase him while hitting his arms. Then he would strike when they wore out. Sugar Ray Leonard started as a defensive fighter and won many many fights that way. When he decided to start doing more striking and counter striking is when he opened himself up to blows and that’s when he got his retina detached. Watch Mike Tyson’s old fights. Total defensive/blocking technique, arms and gloves close to his face to work himself in close then he gave them his devastating punch. I could go on and on about other champion fighters that were defensive fighters, but I think I made my point. Counter striking is great. But without a good defense, you!re going to take 2 to 3 blows for every successful counter punch. Boxing is called the sweet science for a reason.
during high school, a classmate of mine likes to show his dominance by punching people in the arm. One time, he targeted me and I wasn't in the mood to become a punching bag so I blocked him like shown in the vid and his fist struck my elbow. I received a bit of a shock throughout my arm but he injured his hand. He couldn't take notes that day, serves you right!
Something similar happen to me in junior high. A tall black kid started slap fighting me so I put a long sharp pencil between my fingers and when he threw a slap I blocked and the pencil stuck him in his palm. He couldn't believe a pencil was sticking out of his hand. That ended his tough guy image.😏🇺🇸
This was a excellent demonstration of limb destruction. In Filipino Escrima this is taught during empty hand training phase. The knee is also used to stop incoming kicks on the low and mid line. Nice work really enjoyed the material
I love that you taught this method as secondary to avoiding the fight altogether. For those new to fighting, you can either make the gap between you and an aggressor bigger (getting away), smaller (grappling with them), or maintaining the gap by performing this type of technique. But you have to remember they can close the gap too, including chasing you if you run. If they catch you you're back to having to make a decision. Being able to maintain the gap is how you outlast an opponent that you can't run from. Sometimes you're having to protect others and this technique allows you to do that. Sometimes you have to be a runner, sometimes you have to be a fighter but most of the time you may just have to be a wall. Great video!

This is the incredible legacy of Paul Vunak training the Navy Seals in the early 90s. He called these Elbow Destructions from Kali. This was a part of his R.A.T. system. Now all the Seals train this. The goal is to DeFang the Snake, i.e. destroy the incoming tools.
His RAT system was amazing, it is one of the best self defense videos I have ever seen. Street safe 3 covered knife defense very well: defang the snake, take out their hands.
funny thing, the creator of SEAL Team Six, the late Richard Marcinko, says in his book that he trained with Kelly S. Worden. But it's possible Vunak did train other teams how to take down an opponent in 5 moves rather than two.
yeah, i remember those VCR tapes--sent 'em all back and Red Zone banned me for doing it. Vunak was great for teaching how to use 5 moves to slap your partner around. problem is if he has another partner while you're doing all those movies. fun fact, he claims he trained SEALS but the late Richard Marcinko who created SEAL Six mentions in his book that Marcinko trained with Kelly S. Worden to stop fighting like a brawler and use his system instead.

Best initial explanation I have heard about why we initially practice slow. I was very hesitant about that “bird beak” block (thick headed old Bastid). Using the elbow or top of the head to block, thus them breaking their hand is as old as prize fighting. Spectacular move!! Using the birds beak block to set it up is genius!!! Putting that right into the training rotation & tool box!! Thanks!!
I think it is great that you took the time to explain to "those" people about that won't work, they won't just stand there and so on. The biggest issue with those type of people is most are couch commandos, and they don't need to train because they are so awesome and skilled naturally. I used to try to explain but it is like talking to the wall. But kudos for your attempt.
Back in the day when I was in training of the arts we weren't taught this because we were to step aside and then gain control of the arm. But this is also some fantastic tactics as well! Great video brother 👍
That’s also how I was taught. Step to the outside while redirecting and following up with an attack. I don’t want to stand in front of him where he can hit me, the “kill zone” as it were. There’s more to it, but that’s the gist.
Love this. I was taught similar technique against knife ... for certain attacks, guide the attacker's knife hand into your elbow. Results in a simultaneous disarm and breaks the attacker's hand. Yep... likely you'll get a cut on your arm. But hopefully it's the only cut you'll get. Takes a lot of reps with a rubber knife and your partner... be careful.
Keep the videos coming ! Most people focus so much on guns for self defense they tend to leave out hand to hand combat . This honestly should be taught first .
Love your dogs. The most important message in this video is to never punch, you will injure your hands, proper operation of a weapon platform will be compromised. In MMA with wrapped and gloved hands the most common injury is broken hands. Take a look at the hands and x-rays of the hands of bare-knuckle boxers after a match, valuable information.
This is the kind of thing people need to learn. Everyone thinks having a gun makes them safe, but as you have shown in some videos you don't always have it, or the time to grab it.
a simple box cutter in your pocket could save your life if someone trying to rob you puts you in a neck choke hold you just slit his arm out with box cutter and he will let it go and give you time to run away!
@@joel-em8zp True, but if I did end up on a choke hold there are other things that can be done. Ways to strike would depend on lots of things. I might hit him in the gut and take this breath away with an elbow. I might grab his hair if he has it and control his head. I could stick my fingers up his nose, claw his eyes out. Sometimes if a person is able you can slip out of a choke hold if you move fast enough. So many things are quicker then trying to get a weapon out and use it. Some of those moves could give me time to get it out for protection. Even jabbing my thumb up under his chin can help.
@@coffeelover1763 I’m talking for self experience and I’m a small guy 150 5’ 6” with some small boxing experience in the past…..the dude that tryed to robbed me was a lot bigger!
I seen Bill Rapier demonstrate the modified shoulder shrug method of shooting so it’s blocking any other incoming attacks besides a direct uppercut. I love the stuff you both share. And god bless.
More pleasant than my method. I recently had a tattoo fest in my town. I pulled private security at a gas station that lost a ton (literally) of alcohol to theft the prior night. I only had three fights. The one guy was fast and while I was handcuffing him he threw a punch at my face. I had no chance to block so I just pointed my nose to the ground and let him break his hand on the top of my head. Yes I had a headache the next day but it’s almost impossible to get KO’d there. I will admit to wailing a small tune on him after that, just to get him cuffed. He had 3” and 100# on me so I went armbar and yes I popped it. There’s no tapping once I’m struck. We’re past the being friends stage at that point.
LOL you get a headache, and the idiot gets a broken hand, you win the contest. Sargent Rory Miller, Chiron training, during his career, sent 9 deputies to the hospital with broken hands never had to send an inmate to the hospital from getting punched on the head. Military close quarter combat systems never train closed fist punching.
@@coffeelover1763 No I don’t. I can’t handle a 300# muscular drunk guy by myself without resorting to martial arts, in that case the breaking of his arm was needed for me to subdue him. I wish I could have but once I’m struck in my state, you are free to defend yourself from a physical threat by using BJJ and not letting them tap. It’s a heckuva a better and less permanent solution than shooting him. The other two fights just resulted in OC spray but mine went flying when he struck me. It becomes felony robbery at that point, and unless they can outrun they’re not getting away. He never tapped anyways. Once I was locked I just popped it. Yeah I was mad about being punched. But as a 5th degree, once someone puts their quarter in the jukebox, they only get to dance my dance. My best chance at winning the fight was to break his arm so I did. Relax, he’ll be fine from it. I didn’t continue to wrench on it, once it popped and he yelled I slapped cuffs on him. 6-8 weeks of suck age and a year plus in jail. He’ll have plenty of time to reflect on poor life choices. I’m not a mean man. I’m very Devout. However it’s not wise to punch me when I’m trying to take you into custody. I know how to secure a “choke” too but even though mine doesn’t restrict airflow, just blood, it’s not allowed anymore. That would have been my choice but when it gets legislated out due to one bad incident, I have to go to breaking things.
@@rodvan-zeller6360 It was a bad headache 🤷♂️. It’s better to not let them hit you but if that’s all you can do? You go for it. He was big and strong enough to KO me which then gives a now felon access to my gun. That ain’t happening. That’s one thing I didn’t point out in my response above yours. I was both open and concealed carrying. Someone knocks me out and takes that? Not cool. So that’s the one thing I can’t let happen. Maybe hard to do with one hand but until I read the full report the next day I didn’t know for sure he’d broke his hand. I did know for sure I broke his arm. When you’re obviously armed you cannot lose a physical encounter. So I don’t, even if it takes breaking an arm. I’m semi retired, still act as an FTO and occasionally on UC things for my former department so if the arm break wouldn’t have taken the fight out of him, I would have choked him out next. It pays to remain fit and competent. My instructor is the only one I know that can whip me in grappling and I don’t know anyone that can take me in striking. Although some of that’s luck, so anyone could at any point. I was the martial arts instructor for about 15 years for that department. I’m 5’10 maybe 5’11 and about 200#. Give or take 15 depending on how active I am.
@@darthbaferu398 Why not, I can and I have never had to break anything lol. Only person who has ever been able to take me down play fighting knows martial arts and I didn't even get a bruse. Shouldn't you have more skills and anger control?
I hadn't seen this guy before, but the way he describes looking at someone from a warrior's POV is extremely familiar. Not the words, but the idea. So I reckon he knows what he is talking about.
Another amazing video. This will likely go over most people's heads, & that's ok. But I have learned more about training & myself in the last 5 days from Mr. Pike than I have learned in at least the last 20 years by normal living & from other people. I truly want to say thank you to Mr. Pike for the instruction & direction. I'm nowhere near where I need to be, but I've stopped quiting & making excuses. A lot of looking in the mirror has not been pleasant. But at least I've started looking in the mirror. Thanks for the video Mr. Pike.
Beautiful instructions! But LMAO when someone says anything derogative about any Navy Seal! 😂😂! I once new a guy that when he had to fight,that's all he used,elbows and forearms! Thank you sir first of all for your Service to our Country,& second I'm glad we're on the same side! MLH&R for all who served our country!
Your comment about the face punch made me remember my instructor many years ago;.. He said “ Don’t punch them in the face,…Punch them through the face”.
@@mikeseier4449 What happened when Mike Tyson punched Mitch Green in a street altercation? How are you going to toughen 23 bones the thickness of pencils?
Anybody who has trained, already knows about the elbow block to smash the hand of the opponent. the Seals did not invent this but learned it from many martial artists.
Very true , regardless of what you do , you are going to get hit in a fight. I’ve been in a few fights in my life and even blocking hits , it still hurts and punching someone in the jaw like they do in the movies is a great way to break your knuckles. The best fight is the one you don’t have and the best self defence moves is using your legs, because with the legs you can run away. The only time one fights is when you have no other option and have do so in order to defend yourself and someone else.
Thank you sir for explaining everything including the context of your video, it’s to train and prepare. A fight is better to be avoided but sometimes you just gotta fight. I agree with most of the comments that I read. You have a very intelligent following.
This looks very effective to me and much easier than traditional blocking as in martial arts. Looks like it would work well in the chaos of an actual fight.
Mr Frogman, excellent training video. I can definitely tell you're a former navy brother by the way you teach and your comments. 20 year gunners mate here. Thank you so much for pointing out at the beginning that choreographing is a crucial part of making a training video and for learning how to properly do a technique. I teach aiki ju jutsu myself and have watched countless videos and read comments from idiots all the time that say things like 'yeah, works great when the the attacker just stands still". Well no shit dumbass, the video isn't trying to teach every possibility, just the mechanics of the technique. Keep up the good work.
I would be very hesitant to punch as hard as i can if youre teaching me how to break hands or wrists with elbow blocks. I think my brain would say "Issa trap!" (Thank you for the demo, Sir)
Loved this video man, great advice. I was jumped by a group of 10 guys 18-24yr old, anyways I knew this technique and it saved me enough to have an opportunity I needed to use some other skills enough to walk away without injury. To myself or them
"But theyll hit my arm and it hurts". This is where i mentally face palm and resign myself to explaining why it better then getting hit in the face. Now if i had a dollar for everytime someone told me that...
Little bit of boxing and kicking and wrestling/judo/jj is great exercize and it can come handy. But, usually when you are prepared people don't mess with you. There is just something about it.
Interesting video, I've trained in KM for15 years. I like my first move to be a step back out of attackers range. Thanks, forgot stuff I learned long ago.
"Hey (Frogman), Trust me when i say "I GET IT 🤨"...I hate it when (ANY) person "CONTRADICTS" experience., And "YES!" it is (Laughable), So keep up the (Great Work) & Thanks again." 👍
That's that Rampage Jackson Punch defense. He was cold with that blocking style in Pride and the UFC. Lorenzo Hunt blocks this way in bare knuckle competitions
I love how either RUclips or my network carrier keeps throttling some of the videos I like too watch,like this one here. They really need to know Sleepy isn't going to be around for ever. So going full blown Sleepy isn't the answer. Peace 🙏
I'm surprised that none of the comments seem to note that you are fighting in a goofy stance, i.e. right foot forward. Your student is standing in the traditional boxing stance. Your right elbow is naturally lined up with his left jab. If you stood in a traditional stance, how would you handle it? Blocking with your left elbow would require you to twist right to meet the incoming fist, opening up your ribs (floating rib for example) to a shovel punch from the opponent's power arm... or a kick to the lower rib off the power leg if he has training. If you block with your right elbow, you would have to twist left to get the elbow up front. Highly unlikely you could do that fast enough to meet the jab. And, even if you could, your upper body is twisted making a counter-offensive awkward and slow. It also opens up your sternum to an uppercut off the opponent's powerhand. Genuine question...
That block on the lead hook works reasonably well if you have enough experience, even then some will slip through, especially if your opponent is wearing 4oz or bare knuckle. Prefer to fade or roll under hooks if possible.
So much kick boxing. It’s a shame we don’t teach all children from young age (compulsory) art of any self defence. So good for mind, body and soul. Nice vid 👍
As a Nak Muay I can confirm that kicking elbows accidentally fkn hurts a lot, my team mate actually broke his ankle and tore a ligament from it. So punching a elbow wouldn’t tickle, also street fighters have close to 0 technique so it will be a floppy thrown hand and that elbow block would easily snap a wrist.
Very nice. We learn head blocks like this in kickboxing, covering half the face, you can use the elbow as a counter-attack 'spike' to the face in a 'street' situation. Also can attest to punching someone's elbow as have done it in sparring ... and it f*cking hurts
You made mention of peripheral vision catching the "telegraphing" moves-- which Ive had boxers say they DON"T DO-- but it's IMPOSSIBLE with normal body mechanics to NOT telegraph... THANKS again..
"Drills that are extremely effective and do not require require years of training." First, have someone who knows how to strike properly do the drill freestyle with you and let's see how that goes. Then throw at someone without years of training their blocking during sparring and see how that goes. Badly in both cases would be my bet.
In Ninjutsu, one of the objectives can become striking the forearm, which starts tenderizing the muscle after a few punches. It's worked wonders for me and disables the weapon, which is the intent.
We used to drop the elbow when a side kick was coming towards our midsection. When the top of their foot hits our elbow it hurts them so bad it takes the fight right out of them.

Blocking with my elbow like that is something I've been doing for years in muay thai. Love it
A lot of the older arts did this. i encountered this block in Sanda, as a block that traveled down from Shaolin styles. it's so effective
I don’t even consider myself a fighter but that’s what feels natural to me to do, I feel like more people should be taught this! Good comment 👏
Also we train in Muay Boran with elbow block
You also block the low centerline.
Paul Vunak taught this on video back in the late 80’s. Good stuff. 🙏🏻

I might hit him in the gut and take this breath away with an elbow. I might grab his hair if he has it and control his head. I could stick my fingers up his nose, claw his eyes out. Sometimes if a person is able you can slip out of a choke hold if you move fast enough. So many things are quicker then trying to get a weapon out and use it. Some of those moves could give me time to get it out for protection. Even jabbing my thumb up under his chin can help.
@@coffeelover1763 I’m talking for self experience and I’m a small guy 150 5’ 6” with some small boxing experience in the past…..the dude that tryed to robbed me was a lot bigger!
Bro Frogman is legit I did a bit of boxing when I was younger this is good defensive technique advice!
The elderly frogman is the new Jean-Claude Van Damme!😅😂
I seen Bill Rapier demonstrate the modified shoulder shrug method of shooting so it’s blocking any other incoming attacks besides a direct uppercut. I love the stuff you both share. And god bless.
Keysi Fighting Method Style! Stuff Not Bad Old Man!...Not Bad At All The Knuckles Breaking Sound Would Be Nostalgic After Applying This....!
Love the video! Makes good sense for beginners and not so beginners. Thanks!
More pleasant than my method. I recently had a tattoo fest in my town. I pulled private security at a gas station that lost a ton (literally) of alcohol to theft the prior night. I only had three fights. The one guy was fast and while I was handcuffing him he threw a punch at my face. I had no chance to block so I just pointed my nose to the ground and let him break his hand on the top of my head. Yes I had a headache the next day but it’s almost impossible to get KO’d there. I will admit to wailing a small tune on him after that, just to get him cuffed. He had 3” and 100# on me so I went armbar and yes I popped it. There’s no tapping once I’m struck. We’re past the being friends stage at that point.
You need to learn to over come your anger at that point
LOL you get a headache, and the idiot gets a broken hand, you win the contest.
Sargent Rory Miller, Chiron training, during his career, sent 9 deputies to the hospital with broken hands never had to send an inmate to the hospital from getting punched on the head.
Military close quarter combat systems never train closed fist punching.
@@coffeelover1763
No I don’t. I can’t handle a 300# muscular drunk guy by myself without resorting to martial arts, in that case the breaking of his arm was needed for me to subdue him. I wish I could have but once I’m struck in my state, you are free to defend yourself from a physical threat by using BJJ and not letting them tap. It’s a heckuva a better and less permanent solution than shooting him. The other two fights just resulted in OC spray but mine went flying when he struck me. It becomes felony robbery at that point, and unless they can outrun they’re not getting away. He never tapped anyways. Once I was locked I just popped it. Yeah I was mad about being punched. But as a 5th degree, once someone puts their quarter in the jukebox, they only get to dance my dance. My best chance at winning the fight was to break his arm so I did. Relax, he’ll be fine from it. I didn’t continue to wrench on it, once it popped and he yelled I slapped cuffs on him. 6-8 weeks of suck age and a year plus in jail. He’ll have plenty of time to reflect on poor life choices.
I’m not a mean man. I’m very Devout. However it’s not wise to punch me when I’m trying to take you into custody. I know how to secure a “choke” too but even though mine doesn’t restrict airflow, just blood, it’s not allowed anymore. That would have been my choice but when it gets legislated out due to one bad incident, I have to go to breaking things.
@@rodvan-zeller6360
It was a bad headache 🤷♂️. It’s better to not let them hit you but if that’s all you can do? You go for it. He was big and strong enough to KO me which then gives a now felon access to my gun. That ain’t happening. That’s one thing I didn’t point out in my response above yours. I was both open and concealed carrying. Someone knocks me out and takes that? Not cool. So that’s the one thing I can’t let happen. Maybe hard to do with one hand but until I read the full report the next day I didn’t know for sure he’d broke his hand. I did know for sure I broke his arm. When you’re obviously armed you cannot lose a physical encounter. So I don’t, even if it takes breaking an arm. I’m semi retired, still act as an FTO and occasionally on UC things for my former department so if the arm break wouldn’t have taken the fight out of him, I would have choked him out next. It pays to remain fit and competent. My instructor is the only one I know that can whip me in grappling and I don’t know anyone that can take me in striking. Although some of that’s luck, so anyone could at any point. I was the martial arts instructor for about 15 years for that department. I’m 5’10 maybe 5’11 and about 200#. Give or take 15 depending on how active I am.
@@darthbaferu398 Why not, I can and I have never had to break anything lol. Only person who has ever been able to take me down play fighting knows martial arts and I didn't even get a bruse. Shouldn't you have more skills and anger control?
I hadn't seen this guy before, but the way he describes looking at someone from a warrior's POV is extremely familiar. Not the words, but the idea. So I reckon he knows what he is talking about.
Another amazing video. This will likely go over most people's heads, & that's ok. But I have learned more about training & myself in the last 5 days from Mr. Pike than I have learned in at least the last 20 years by normal living & from other people. I truly want to say thank you to Mr. Pike for the instruction & direction. I'm nowhere near where I need to be, but I've stopped quiting & making excuses. A lot of looking in the mirror has not been pleasant. But at least I've started looking in the mirror. Thanks for the video Mr. Pike.
Beautiful instructions! But LMAO when someone says anything derogative about any Navy Seal! 😂😂! I once new a guy that when he had to fight,that's all he used,elbows and forearms! Thank you sir first of all for your Service to our Country,& second I'm glad we're on the same side! MLH&R for all who served our country!
My GOD. Jason Pike is a STUNNING man. WOOFS!!! 🐻
Your comment about the face punch made me remember my instructor many years ago;.. He said “ Don’t punch them in the face,…Punch them through the face”.
And injure your hand?
@@rodvan-zeller6360 Yes junior, In real life there are risks.😘
@@mikeseier4449 Junior? LOL I am a retired senior
@@rodvan-zeller6360 Then toughen up Pappy.💪
@@mikeseier4449 What happened when Mike Tyson punched Mitch Green in a street altercation?
How are you going to toughen 23 bones the thickness of pencils?
Anybody who has trained, already knows about the elbow block to smash the hand of the opponent. the Seals did not invent this but learned it from many martial artists.
Have Fun with It... We Heard That. Thanks U2
This my shit. Been doing this for years. If you're good at padholding, this will help you catch strikes better.
Very true , regardless of what you do , you are going to get hit in a fight. I’ve been in a few fights in my life and even blocking hits , it still hurts and punching someone in the jaw like they do in the movies is a great way to break your knuckles.
The best fight is the one you don’t have and the best self defence moves is using your legs, because with the legs you can run away. The only time one fights is when you have no other option and have do so in order to defend yourself and someone else.
Thank you sir for explaining everything including the context of your video, it’s to train and prepare. A fight is better to be avoided but sometimes you just gotta fight.
I agree with most of the comments that I read. You have a very intelligent following.
This looks very effective to me and much easier than traditional blocking as in martial arts. Looks like it would work well in the chaos of an actual fight.
Mr Frogman, excellent training video. I can definitely tell you're a former navy brother by the way you teach and your comments. 20 year gunners mate here. Thank you so much for pointing out at the beginning that choreographing is a crucial part of making a training video and for learning how to properly do a technique. I teach aiki ju jutsu myself and have watched countless videos and read comments from idiots all the time that say things like 'yeah, works great when the the attacker just stands still". Well no shit dumbass, the video isn't trying to teach every possibility, just the mechanics of the technique. Keep up the good work.
I would be very hesitant to punch as hard as i can if youre teaching me how to break hands or wrists with elbow blocks. I think my brain would say "Issa trap!" (Thank you for the demo, Sir)
This is one of my favorite channels. Great content! Nobody trolling either which is awesome
I like the way you explain this. Keep it simple. Basic Fundamentals.
Loved this video man, great advice. I was jumped by a group of 10 guys 18-24yr old, anyways I knew this technique and it saved me enough to have an opportunity I needed to use some other skills enough to walk away without injury. To myself or them
This is great. Thank you!
"But theyll hit my arm and it hurts". This is where i mentally face palm and resign myself to explaining why it better then getting hit in the face. Now if i had a dollar for everytime someone told me that...
Little bit of boxing and kicking and wrestling/judo/jj is great exercize and it can come handy. But, usually when you are prepared people don't mess with you. There is just something about it.
Interesting video, I've trained in KM for15 years. I like my first move to be a step back out of attackers range. Thanks, forgot stuff I learned long ago.
This really makes me want to train. The only thing I have ever been naturally good at.
Thank you Master Sifu
Awesome Fantastic Great video! I like the way you took your time to breakdown and explain each guard and stance step by step and you kept it real!
"Hey (Frogman), Trust me when i say "I GET IT 🤨"...I hate it when (ANY) person "CONTRADICTS" experience., And "YES!" it is (Laughable), So keep up the (Great Work) & Thanks again." 👍
The blocking technique reminds me of R.A.T. technique by the legendary Paul Vunak.
Great demonstration, FrogMan. Thank you for your hard work!
Fair play we can all learn new or any techniques and add it to our styles
I like watching the new guy learn to load up. Left hook was kinda good by his third heavy one.
Yes it was very awkward but he slowly got it. 🙏
I thank you for all of the great information, and most of all because you’re not afraid to advocate for God , my favorite RUclips teacher !!
Jesus Christ!! These Navy Seals and FrogMan Tactical don't play games. I can respect that.
That's that Rampage Jackson Punch defense. He was cold with that blocking style in Pride and the UFC. Lorenzo Hunt blocks this way in bare knuckle competitions
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Great video.
Thanks for posting this! Your video has improved my fight scenes exponentially🎉
The slow motion of the pain was to funny😭😂😂 good video though 🦾
Love the deer walking in background
Thanks for the tips. I may need this. It's getting more dangerous out here in CA. 😱
I love how either RUclips or my network carrier keeps throttling some of the videos I like too watch,like this one here. They really need to know Sleepy isn't going to be around for ever. So going full blown Sleepy isn't the answer. Peace 🙏
Nice vid mate .. I like how you get him to put some “oomph” into his punches shows how practical this defence is.
I'm surprised that none of the comments seem to note that you are fighting in a goofy stance, i.e. right foot forward.
Your student is standing in the traditional boxing stance. Your right elbow is naturally lined up with his left jab.
If you stood in a traditional stance, how would you handle it? Blocking with your left elbow would require you to twist right to meet the incoming fist, opening up your ribs (floating rib for example) to a shovel punch from the opponent's power arm... or a kick to the lower rib off the power leg if he has training.
If you block with your right elbow, you would have to twist left to get the elbow up front. Highly unlikely you could do that fast enough to meet the jab. And, even if you could, your upper body is twisted making a counter-offensive awkward and slow. It also opens up your sternum to an uppercut off the opponent's powerhand.
Genuine question...
Looked at absolutely none of the captions, and immediately thought: he’s a team guy. Oorah Frogman!
Elbow blocking is best technique. It can save face&backhead. Great defense block
This men is the edge
I like this guy. No arrogance, he's humble and a Christian.
I hope your student never has to fight.. I love using elbows for blocks and strikes , underrated but incredibly effective.
I used to amateur box. I like the open handed flow. I learned a lot from this video. Never really had a street.
Riddick BOWE mastered that up hand block perfectly, as seen in his '92 title fight against Holyfield.
Frogman, a legend, a hero, thanks a lot, there's always something new to learn from you Sir. God bless.
Thank you, who’s your friend?😇🐶🐾🥊👍🔥I love your channel 🙏
Man I wish I could train with you.
You're an awesome coach.
That block on the lead hook works reasonably well if you have enough experience, even then some will slip through, especially if your opponent is wearing 4oz or bare knuckle. Prefer to fade or roll under hooks if possible.
So much kick boxing. It’s a shame we don’t teach all children from young age (compulsory) art of any self defence. So good for mind, body and soul. Nice vid 👍
As a Nak Muay I can confirm that kicking elbows accidentally fkn hurts a lot, my team mate actually broke his ankle and tore a ligament from it. So punching a elbow wouldn’t tickle, also street fighters have close to 0 technique so it will be a floppy thrown hand and that elbow block would easily snap a wrist.
LOL! Gladius probably lives in his car. Tough guy
4:36 you couldn't get me to believe he was a navy seal jabbing like that
Very nice. We learn head blocks like this in kickboxing, covering half the face, you can use the elbow as a counter-attack 'spike' to the face in a 'street' situation. Also can attest to punching someone's elbow as have done it in sparring ... and it f*cking hurts
I like the fact you can step in and elbow them in the face too.
Wow! What a timing? We were just learning this last week here in Melbourne Australia FMA class😮
This awesome thank you! Subscribed 👏🏼
Thanks for the sub! 🙏
This was such a joy to watch…and twice! Thank you!
You made mention of peripheral vision catching the "telegraphing" moves-- which Ive had boxers say they DON"T DO-- but it's IMPOSSIBLE with normal body mechanics to NOT telegraph... THANKS again..
"Drills that are extremely effective and do not require require years of training."
First, have someone who knows how to strike properly do the drill freestyle with you and let's see how that goes. Then throw at someone without years of training their blocking during sparring and see how that goes. Badly in both cases would be my bet.
Glad to see everyone mentioning eskrima, pangamot, etc!
In Ninjutsu, one of the objectives can become striking the forearm, which starts tenderizing the muscle after a few punches. It's worked wonders for me and disables the weapon, which is the intent.
Système de défense et de blocage très efficace. Merci.🙏
We used to drop the elbow when a side kick was coming towards our midsection. When the top of their foot hits our elbow it hurts them so bad it takes the fight right out of them.
