Hah, I can end a fight in 1 second without a gun, even if Tyson wanted to fight. It's called "RUN-FU" ! 99 percent effective.
Hello where do u do your classes at
I am really serious. I am 74, 220 lbs, don’t exercise like I should, have a small balance problem. How other than running can I defend a from a guy that wants to fight and gets well within my space. Help
@@philg.7013 I definitely, would carry some kind of tactical weapon as well learn and train situational awareness to learn how to detect and avoid a threat
G'day mate, new subscriber here.
This is a great channel and I'm enjoying your content immensely while learning some handy new tricks, so thank you.
Regarding always having your hands up in a potential violent situation, which is a must, I can add a bit more to that from when I used to work the doors at some of the rougher pubs and clubs here in Australia.
This is not for a knife attack, just a general confrontation with an out of control drunken punter, or any potential un-armed fight situation in life.
When talking to an aggressive punter, I always had my left hand up to my face pretending to scratch my chin and my right arm up across my lower chest with my left elbow slightly resting in my right hand.
(This hand position and gesture can also convey to the punter you are listening to what they are rambling on about, which in itself can diffuse the situation a lot of the times)
I used this because the 90% of the population are right hand dominant. And all drunk punters will try the big haymaker with their dominant hand, so I was able to block the big haymaker which was coming my way with the left pretty effectively. My right hand was up enough too, so I was ready to release it to do what was needed after blocking the right haymaker or block a punch coming from a left handed punter if need be.
It's a trick I learned from a fellow student way back, and I used it very successfully in a lot of ugly situations at work.
So again, thank you, and keep the videos coming.
Cheers.
I am 62 years old, and VERRY PEACEFULL PERSON. I hate fight, but sometimes you just can not avoid one. This has been fantastic, THANKS
'...sometimes you just can not avoid one.' Absolutely right!
Exactly brother, I’m out of it myself and would have my son, friends, supporters and who ever wanted to help, I’m trying to teach a friend from afar, I used to do a ladies
Im a Marine and now that I am in my 70's I am still a Lethal Weapon .
The ability to read body language is super super valuable. I have completely avoided fights and altercations on a few occasions just by reading the guy's body language and expressions, and exiting the situation altogether.
Best way to win is not to fight. You both win
@@enigma9971that sounds boring and many times not possible unless you want to be a victim. Get a reputation as unhinged and violent. Everyone fears pain especially now with so many tender woke boys so giving 1 person severe pain the rest back off.
@@enigma9971 I believe that's a Bruce Lee quote.
it's 100% possible!..
@@shawnkelly695 Violence begets violence. Or.... he who lives by the sword.... My Dad went this way and got a reputation as a hard Bastard. He said they never stopped coming at him, because someone else always wants to be top dog, and they only get there by beating the current one.
I’m 57 now and went through one of the best police academy’s in the US in 1989. I was 6”3 205 lbs. was an athlete through college. Only real fight training I had was with my father who was an airborne ranger in Ww2,Korea and Vietnam and taught me certain skills but the main thing he taught me was u don’t quit injured or not. I was called out by a 4th degree black belt hand to hand instructor to the mat for a full speed example. I won 3 n a row by just overwhelming a guy with my reach and strength. Long story short u can slow motion fight but when it’s real life it doesn’t always work
So true!
As a former bouncer who has taken martial arts, boxing, wrestling, and has been a street fighter, Several of your tips I have used on multiple occasions over the years and they work. A lot of instruction I have seen on youtube may look good when your partner is letting you do the technique but they won't work in a real world application. I know from personal experience that your tips that I have used actually do work, and work well.
Thanks watching and comment!
Lol until someone reads your eyes and body language and you get hurt bad. Your eyes will let the other person know where and when you gonna punch. As you swing you are not as ballanced and will find yourself on the ground being boot stomped. I learned to never swing first especially smaller guys that can move so fast. You swing then shit they on your back tearing you up before you even realise your punch never landed or your movement and size has been used against you and you are on the ground. Big guys usually have bad knees and or bad back. Watch their moves and attack the weak points. Big guys may land a hard punch but move so slow and easy to tire them out.
@@shawnkelly695you couch warriors really have a lot to say about fictitious scenarios thst have little probability to manifest .
Agreed.
The palm strike under the chin sends the head backwards, very hard to hold your balance when your head is now looking up,this will cause the opponent to fall over ,doesn't take alot of force and the follow up ,hitting opponent as they are falling helps alot ,I have done this many times against larger opponents.
Thank you for the excellent tips.
I would add a tip from a police perspective. When the cops arrive both combatants will claim to be the innocent party. So the cops will interview witnesses. If they can’t determine who started the fight all go to jail. If witnesses didn’t see the start of the conflict, turning only after the noise starts and seeing you winning they may conclude you started the fight. And you may be the only one going to jail.
I really like your open hands attack. Before the fight they look harmless. I also suggest verbally trying to descale the conflict so witnesses can hear you.
Those are all great points you made.
Except in all the jurisdictions where mutual combat is permissible and you need an actual complainant that wants to press charges.
Exactly!
Solid point. This method requires an absolute ferocious killing instinct of first strike and lethal force non--stop until the opponent is out. Not for the feint of heart, but for me, I must train this mentality. After getting older and the one-shot KO strike to the jaw not laying guys out like it once did or just wobbling big guys, now it just stuns people around my weight too, and often I've just stood back and kinda watched them to see the effect, and let them back in, when a few follow ups and staying inside and being rapidly offensive would have put them out once they were stunned.
But legally that is a double-edged sword. You do need to adopt a sociopathic mindset or at least act/appear like one to make this method work, and you could even kill people with the throat strikes. That is the missing element. Nick is the real deal in a sea of complete BS, as his training methods lead to getting into that intense state of output needed to come out on top and thereby survive.
My husband was in the SAS for many years, he told me walk away these days as too many idiots drugged and with knives. Stay safe and avoid at all costs
Great video. Also if they snuck you and got you pinned either on the ground or against something and you can't attack the eyes, throat or groin look for the ears. He'll be very close and you want to go with hammer strikes until they get back from you. Aim low so if you miss, you're not hitting skull you'll be hitting his neck. Then you can alternate low and high strikes. The ear is sensitive and they will have to free up their hands, enough for you to get the space you need to get away from him. It doesn't take much to make an ear bleed. It's also very painful and their balance will be affected enough for you to get the hell out of there. Thank you for the training sir.
Thank you ! Great brush up course. Im ready again!
Hitting first creates legal problems. You have to be able to show that you tried to avoid the confrontation, and that option was not a realistic expectation. First I would advise to be aware of your surroundings, and avoid getting into the situation in the first place. For the times that avoidance is not an option, and extreme force is required, body positioning, distance, available weapons in the immediate area, and vulnerable targets are something everyone should be familiar with. Plus are you expecting to fight one person who's standing in front of you without noticing his four friends behind you. Environmental awareness is something that should never be neglected. You do still need conditioning, timing, and repetitive training to create muscle memory of proper movement, and tolerance of impact . Also your level of force should be limited to what is necessary. If a threat can safely be neutralized through joint manipulation, don't go overboard by using fishhooks, ripping their eyes out, or cracking their head open on a cement floor. Those methods can be used in survival situations against serious threats to life. What you can do depends on your skill level and the abilities of those who pose a threat. Don't treat a 90lbs drunk girl with bad coordination in the same manner as you would respond to a physically imposed threat by a 6'4" 300lbs felon who escaped from prison. For serious, unavoidable threats to life, do follow the advise of this video, and keep fighting.
I agree with the above commenter I AM a second degree black belt in ninjusutsu and an asssistant instructor and also the highest student you know striking first if you cannot even sure there is potential for loss of life I think that could run you in to legal problems in fact part of our martial arts rules says never be abusive or offensive sup ringly even though ninjas just is called the assassin art while many moves may cause serious injury I think few actually approach deadly techniques the things this guy is telling you seems more dangerous than what ever learnbin Class My Sensei is careful to stated what ever you do you need to be able to say you had a legitimate reason to do it
Please pardon typos
Ive used the palm to cram nose upward n break it with intense speed aswell as side close-lines... keeping hands above to distract & when the opponent is massively tall/like 400 pounds a side kick to shins forces him to bend over then a hard chop to back of neck out cold for 20 mins 😂...poking eyes works gr8 too & then rush into body to lift him up then crash down to ground...super fast chin jab is also gr8 if u clip it hard enough will cause knockout aswell...i dont like to go for balls but if they got a gun or knife and u dont know arm locks to break it/disarm then its last resort for survival 😉
The legendary Nick Drossos!
It's so good to see you well and healthy, man.👍
I've been a subscriber since 2009.
I remember the first video I saw from your channel was the Knife Defense with the Red Markers slashed on white t-shirts.
I said to myself, "wow this is a pretty realistic training, in real life you can't survive a knife attack, this guy knows his stuff." 👏
Been a subscriber since. Thank you so much for your helpful videos all these years.
I wish you all the best, Nick. Stay healthy and keep contributing to the community.
God bless. ❤
Thanks for watching and support
Can you please train me 😢
I’m in Ghana
Thank you. Great points. Distance is critical and the best defense.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience with us.
As a former bouncer, Bodyguard and little guy I say this is pretty much gospel. All gems stacked one atop the other. I'm saving this one.
Bravo!
Iam as vell a bodyguard.
Worked also in security in a big mall, bouncer work also in bars/ restaurants etc...
Brainmuscle is the number one. Whatever tactics you ever use.
If you fight, you fight hard! And win. I have never lost a fight, but i have trained boxing, wrestling, karate, kickboxing, muy thai, kung fu.
Thanks 🙏
Thank You for not being in a rush but taking the time to give us detail and the opportunity for comprehension. 👊 💪 👍
Thanks it’s important to go through as much as possible, and the details are what can make a difference.
Thank you, very informative. I was wondering how to knock an opponent out without breaking my knuckles. Now I know. Anytime you jar an opponents head backwards ( with the palm or elbow), it causes the brain to bounce back and forth within the cranium, causing a knock out.
I have been watching your videos for years thank you for doing them it's so important to learn how to defend yourself
Thanks for watching and supporting
All great tips. However, in many jurisdictions a pre-emptive strike can be seen as battery, perhaps assault, even if the other guy is the one initiating the aggressive behavior. Better to use strong, direct language akin to "back off", "stop where you are", "I don't want to fight you", "I will defend myself if you dont back away", etc,...plus put your palms up as you make it clear you want him to back away. This gives you a plausible story to tell police, especially if there are witnesses who saw and/or heard you, that you were not the aggressor, that you tried to disengage, and that you had no choice but to defend yourself.
No stand your ground laws? Dang. I think in a normal World if a person is within arms reach yelling aggressively at you Id think talking is over. Would it be the same if it was an angry Man and a Woman? or a Kid? Would anyone think the guy was going up to them to talk?
your sincere help really helps me
my dad use to box and so I did some boxing here and there, then went into the ol karate but one thing that never changed is when engaged I always focused on opponents waist because peripheral (if its good) will see everything coming from arms and legs and especially where opponent is moving. Always helped but fortunate to not have to get into tons of brawls. Mostly sparring. Smashing nose is a good first strike, namely due to eyes filling with water/blood and yes totally attack and finish attack before splitting scene. Good points here
It's so good to see you well and healthy, man
Good tips I teach TKD and incorporate much of this in training my Black Belts and upper ranks...
Awesome teaching, man! Thank you!
Great video, everything makes so much sense. ❤
Great stuff. I’m going to definitely add your techniques to my training. I’ll start today at my training facility. Thank you. 👊👊.
Thanks
Quite interesting. The mind control is necessary too. Keeping fear away.
Once you engage, never reset. Keep striking until the threat is neutralized.
Outstanding Nick!❤️👍🏽
This started reality good. The fight philosophy, stance, distant and steppins all that was great. Fingers to the eyes really bad idea. That's easy miss. You could just do an open palm to the nose. Basically the same move & disabling effect, and hard to miss. An open palm upper cut even better. Groin shots are very risky it's an easy miss.
I like your advice about following up with more strikes. Thanks for this.
Glad it was helpful!
That's great advice "strike first" and then get sued for everything you have 😂😂😂
Well that depends.
Awesome video!! Great insight and information!
I am very impressed and have learned something again. Many greetings from Berlin (Germany) and thank you very much!
Great to hear!
Excellent points!
I LIKE IT...PLEASE KEEP ON DOING THIS. PLUS AN ADDITIONAL SLOW MOTION FOR WE TO PRACTICE. THANKS A LOT
Good stuff! Thanks.
“Practice your eye gouges” - Bruce Lee. The USMC nose thrust with the palm also usually works in one hit. Shatter the nose and upper forehead.
A three second fight, like any other fight, is such a live experience that you only have to remember to go for soft targets, i.e. eyes, throat and groin. You can also leg sweep to off balance your opponent and trip him. Go savage to conclusion.
Very good tech awareness of your situation is key.
very smart. good tips. finish it before it starts.
Thanks 🙏
Great explanation, theory comes first 💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good advice! so much to consider, but you have to be a step ahead. A shame in todays world we have to watch out for these things, always someone trying to give someone a hard time or intimidate them.
Excellent.
Here we go!🤙🤙
Thanks Nick. Good things to follow !
Thanks 🙏
You are good buddy. You explain everything nice and simply and effectively...
Thanks 🙏
Appreciate that knowledge!
Our pleasure!
eye pokes and throat attacks are dirty unless its a life and death situation.
Don't worry about the throat strike. Most people are not strong enough. If they are strong, chances are they won't be picked as victim to begin with.
Great job
0:59 as a lawyer who has “SOME” fight training, “Strike First” = LEGAL FIGHT YOU DONT WANT.
100% enjoy your training more than any other RUclips instructor... one thing that I do find though, is usually when instructing the person being demonstrated on is of equal size or physically slightly lesser build than the instructor. Is a key thing not to even stay around and run if the guy is built like a fighter and knows what he's doing and you're smaller build and only learning from RUclips.
Subbed BTW 👍
Thanks
Great video Nick! hate to fight, but you never know. Thank you!
Thanks 🙏
Pure down to the point ,brilliant ,sign me up
Thanks
strike first, don't stop..if you can breathe, you can fight....survival affirmations that I will commit to memory
It makes total sense, thank you
Thanks for watching
Great self defense info thanks!
Thanks
Thanks
That is exactly I'd told my kids, the 3 most sensitive spots and don't let the bullies know you're going to strike first. Most bullies usually will blah their mouths before they even do anything.
You're teaching them possibly to unlive... you seriously better be mindful that doing so . having that knowledge can be a charge..and failed attempt too ... huge difference between a fight and war... huge difference between a Military personal and civilian Life.. furthermore having that knowledge ... that makes you more of intent in a court system...I knew what I was doing...now they're dead...and at fault for doing so ..and I hit first .. further more showing aggressions...
thank you for this info
You're welcome
Really good! Thank you
Thank you too!
❤man I really really appreciate this video brother thank you
My pleasure
Gracias from Texas 👍
Thanks for watching
Great advice if you're on the street and no one else is around but, if there are witnesses or CCV cameras, don't you open yourself up to assault charges by striking first?
Well keep your hands up, and distance always move and show that you are being passive and trying to diffuse but when you have no options, then you have 2 choice you let him attack first or you go pre emptive
Oh, the magic move. If only we'd known this all these years of training.
Great video.
When I lived Boston on the track team at northeastern we saw trouble ( usually around Fenway park after the bars closed) we ran met up at a common place
Great!!
No Retreat No Surrender ! 👌
Thanks from Nkana and Mumbwa shotokan karate club Zambia oss we need more for kicks how to win a tournament
Great stuff, however, I always worry about being the one who strikes first. I worry about the legal possibilities and have always maintained the position of making absolutely sure that I HAD to resort to the act of "self defense".
Your video is spot on, well done sir.
Thanks for watching
Great pieces of advice from the man.👏🏻Also don't forget hitting hard both your opponent ears with your cupped hands, the base of his nose with the thenar muscle, the collar bone with hammer fists.😉
every time the cops get called, first question they ask is "who threw the first punch?"
first rule of fighting: the guy who makes the first effective move wins, if he follows it up with more effective moves. ergo, the guy who is still standing made the first move.
Thank you
Thanks for watching
This is excellent advice to someone already properly trained in self-defence, capable of open-handed technique, and who knows only ever to apply this in a do-or-die situation with no witnesses. Otherwise terrible advice, because being seen (which is likely) to strike first and repeatedly will very seriously work against you when it comes to court (and it will). It'd be responsible to start the video with this caveat. Thanks for sharing!
Great info.
Glad it was helpful!
Good advice.
Thanks for watching
Man I have a problem. Arthritis keeps my old middle fingers too stiff to make a tight fist. What are my best moves to protect and end ? I'm 5ft9 and can use palm strike ok. thx.
Stiff fingers work great to the eyes. The old judo chop to the side of the neck is illegal in almost every fight competition. This is why you want to use it, it works to well.
This is for beginners you have to understand that people are not always in the military or use to fighting in a ring like you and me.
TY 💗 ❤️ 💖
I’m only 5’3 and aiming for the throat or face is hard for me. I practice punching the solar plexus. Sometimes I’ll jab to the chin then go low to the solar plexus with non stop punches.
For sure that can work, but also a palm strike under the jaw line can work, if they are taller.
Try liver shots.
nut shot
Simplifying no wasted movement s make the moves so.ple and direct
You said you never like to strike the same level, that you alternate high and low (or vise-versa). But your follow-up strikes to the face or throat were then followed up by more strikes to the same area. Could you please explain? Thanks!
😂😂😂
I doubt there are any need in additional punches after properly placed palm to the chin. With some details not covered here - as footwork and hit direction - its a pretty dangerous move and your enemy will probably sleep on the ground ( also you will be searched by the cops but thats another story lol )
I have seen other video where there was mention to strike by fingers to the eyes. They presented as is not well to strike by fingers to get possibility to broke them. The presentation was like to strike with elbow, open hand to side of opositor o by the upper part of your head to face of him. I see it like more safe from one who is not trained one. Anywhere, thanks a lot for your video, All best to you, Jozef
Great info💀🏴☠️👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Thanks 👍
Honestly good lesson
Thanks for watching
You can always learn.
you are wonderful
But that's assuming you are being attacked in the first place and not just being threatened.
So guys... AND GIRLS! Good report, I agree. Marianne Van den Lemmer, teacher selfdefence for women and girls, Belgium.
Number one key to winning a fight is keeping your composer.
Your methods are cool
Thanks
my old sensei showed me palm heel strikes & one of the 2 times i've had to use them i knocked a guy out who was 50 lbs heavier (i'm only 140) - excellent use of "natural gravity"
I'm 55 and have never ever been in a fight or even close. I guess if you want a fight you will find it.
That is for sure, the way you walk around and carry yourself, if you look for it, you will find it.
Good stuff - always better to be in the position of justifying yourself than in hospital. However, If there are witnesses you really want to make sure they are aware of the build up of the situation. If there are no witnesses, you could consider disappearing - if found then; "I am sorry, I panicked after being attecked and thought he/she would have friends accomplices...".
It is a real problem because most fights _are_ decided by the first committed blow, but most legal systems require some proof of a need for self defense.
The situation is different again if this is happening in the context of work - e.g. Bouncing.
And my personal favourite is the palm strike but combined with a leg throw to the back, e.g. osoto- or ouchi-gari, But then again, I default to throwing so... YMMV
Btw I just turned 40 and appreciate your fit over 40 videos as well
Thanks, for coming soon!
If you strike first, you will be the one arrested for battery. You have the option to walk away, unless cornered and you are lucky enough to claim "Stand Your Ground"
