- Please understand that sometimes context is missing due to the short clips on RUclips.
In the dynamic that is shown here the element of crashing in while you hit him with your elbows is missing.
We filmed it but the audio is lost.
In UC we don't "defend". We are counter offensive. That's a different dynamic.
Also action always beats reaction!
Keep it simple!

I really like this instructors attitude. No bullshit, just real stuff.
Thank you!
Instructors like these save actual lives
Thank you again!
No, they don’t 😂
Been in martial arts 27 years now, trained in various systems this man is spectacular explanation of techniques 👏👏👏 huge fan thanks you sir 👊
Thank you very much!
I'm starting to love this guy as much as Lee Morrison....great content. He is training the hardest part....the FEAR of bridging the gap during the ambush. His class should be standing room only! Well the sheep will have to come sooner or later....if the wolf doesn't eat you!
Thank you very much!
Same here
@@lionchild999 thank you!
What wolf r u talking about
@@californiacombativesclub202 Could be a reference to violence, and those who bring to the unsuspecting.
That knee towards the end was deadly. That student got real excited : ) I love to see self protection taught properly. Well done Sir!
Thank you!
He's a big strong experienced practitioner though, would it work so well for a smaller person?
@@iandavies6575 If you are small and there is no way of getting bigger you have to double up your efforts. There is never a guarantee that anything will work. But the principle stays the same. Thats my 2 cents
Great instructor. Clear and concise explanation. Urban combatives really is at the forefront of self protection. Not just the physical but the mental approach.
Thank you!
Truer words were never spoken about blocking vs covering. Great stuff!
You're the best instructor I've seen. I love your aggressive style. Once I can travel out of Australia I'm coming for a seminar!
Thank you very much! Truly humbled by the kind words! Feel
Welcome!
Classes seem to be getting bigger, people are beginning to realize you are the real deal, l like this alot, it should take enough out of the punch to answer back, we wont have your technique but it will work.
Now when l hit the bag with gloves l hit myself with the other hand, l want to make it as hard as l can, you and your Lady inspired me to step up. Thanks Guru.
Thank you! Keep up the good work!
WWWOW! THIS GUY KNOWS HIS STUFF!!! You got a new subscriber here !!! Retired LEO here. Now I work security in a hospital. Rule 1 for me has always been close the distance, get in side of them and get ahold of them, but THIS is a whole new level!!! I watched another video on the head cover in this video and adding the spike elbow! OH YA! Might as well protect my self, AND maybe give the other person pause to rethink any further attack. I love this guy! Thank you Mike!!
Thanks a lot for your positive feedback! Much appreciated! I’m humbled you appreciate the content!🙏🏻 thank you Mike.
You are one of the best in the world when it comes to street self defense! Respect! Thanks.
Thank you very much! Very kind!
This is hardcore reality @ its purest . The explanation is simple & direct while the execution of his techniques are realistic & legitimate. Total RESPECT !!!
Thank you!
You'll be surprised as one simple instinctive block becomes the greatest defensive response that ends a fight. Great stuff!!!
Thanks!
I love this! I've said it on all the other videos I watched. I'd love to supplement my jiu jitsu with this. We need this in Phoenix, AZ.
Thanks! Happy you like it!
Hey brother, great video as always. One of my dojo brothers and I have started a self protection class and we teach the same “Helmet” cover along with a few variations of it.
You have given me some great tips for explaining the material. Thank you and I look forward to more content. 🥋👊🏽
Awesome! Thanks Ralph! Keep
Up the good work!
I've seen it called the "Turtle" like a shell protection.
This was new for me: First Class Selfdefense from Netherland! My nighbour--land!
My English vocabulary is a bit small, but I understand the body language from the instructur!
What he show is very good for lerning!
Thanks a lot and regards from Germany, MW
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your wisdom. You explain everything so clearly.
Thank you.
Excellent video, excellent instruction as always 👊🙏
Best self-defense video I've seen in a long time. Blocks are highly risky because attacks are so unpredictable and "action always beats reaction". Glad someone has said it. Plus he demonstrates with a realistic, full-force attacker; you never see that on RUclips self-defense videos, do you? Thanks a lot.
Thank you very much! Really appreciate the kind words!
@@schoolofselfprotection O l live in France. Fo you ever come to Paris to give training sessions? Or would I have to travel to The Netherlands...
@@rich99global I teach seminars all over the world!
Good to see that young people learn from this good instructor how to defend themselves.
And remember fight is always dirty,don't expect it to be clean and fair.
Thank you!
As a martial artist you always know a fake dojo when a teacher has next to no respect for his students this guy really shows a lot of respect he even pointed out even though he was on camera that he made a mistake by attacking the guys back apologize right away no problem definitely knows humility one of the hardest rules and martial arts
Thanks for seeing that little detail! I have indeed a huge respect for them! Thank you!
@@schoolofselfprotection your the best
@@lionchild999 thanks for the(way too kind 😄) kind words! And happy you appreciate it!
@@schoolofselfprotection I appreciate you and your work
Moving in with that triangular SHIELD of elbows inside the arch of the attacking hand puts you in PERFECT position to snatch anything to drive that knee where it needs to go, MAKING him go face down into the floor!!! SIMPLICITY is the GOAL !!! Thank you Professor Mulder!!! JKD Sifu Mike Goldberg ( RUclips )
Top notch instruction by a very good instructor. I cannot fault any of his videos. I had a similar coach a few years ago in Limerick called Mike Carroll.
Thank you!!
Great instruction, and I agree with most of your points. It is better to shield your head and crash in rather than try to reach out and block, when attacked, in most cases, or at least it's a better technique to default to. However, although my school does teach blocks like the former, they also teach how to cover your head and work off that in similar ways to what you've taught here.
I think both can be used in different situations and it is good to know how to do both, and the place I go to currently is one of the best in my area and is the only one to teach weapon training (FMA).
Other than that small point of contention, I think you're doing great stuff here and I would love to see more of these practical and realistic techniques.
And stamp on head to..finish off
You’re very compelling, my friend! Can’t help admiring your videos! Real working stuff!
Thank you very much!
One Word - Great!
Reminds me to 100% of what we've learned in our Alpha Combat classes
This is GOLD . We need more !
Thanks!
🌟sensational
I show videos to friends that I say.” The lesson here is not what this guy is teaching you but what are you going to do with a threat like him.
This is great.
You out Kraved...Krav.
Thanks.
Your work is stunningly concise.
Thank you very much!
WOW THANK you!!! FOR reeducating!!!! Loved that knee strike
You are welcome!!
absolutely agree regarding blocking in a fast, violent encounter.
love this..
Thanks!
Stepping into a weapons arch is the most difficult thing to do I think. There is a straight up mind barrier to step into a dangerous thing. But you need to or you won't arrive home savely! Such behaviour outside consciousness is just masters class.
Yet another amazing video! This gentleman is something else 🔥
Thanks a lot!
Great advices, thanks Michiel!
Thank you guys!!!!!
Best solid advice I've seen in a good while. Awesome 🤙
Thanks!
I love your videos and teaching style...👍👍👍
Thanks brother!!
Good session important info good method cover go in make impact pro active not just stand there and cover make the block a strike. You guys do great real world work much respect.🙏
another great video, and man you know your stuff love it
Someone keeping it straight forward using proven logic. Nothing but respect from me. Followed.
Thank you!
Beyond words how you explain/articulate and show the techniques, so so very good, awesome 👍
Thanks for the kind feedback!
@@schoolofselfprotection How to Counter a Guy that is taller than me?
Awesome
Studied traditional traditional jiu-jitsu ..way before BJJ became a thing. Now that I am 60..I need geriatric juijitsu.. I believe this will pressure test out well. Some of this looks quite similar to traditional Japanese juijitsu. Especially the entering to eliminate the power of your opponent. I kept feeling I would want to instinctively want to move outward..which tended to leave the opponent to attack again. I wanted to send this to my 10 year old daughter I put into jiu-jitsu..but I think her mom will get upset about the language.. definitely following you!
One of my favorite self defense channels very underrated
Thank you very much!
Soy seguidor de tus vídeos, son geniales, gracias por compartir 😁🙏
You sir, are a damn good teacher. Keep it up with great content.
Thank you very much!
Love this channel
Excellent!
Very very good vid I love this guy too. Stay strong happy new year
Beautifully explained & done brother! I have been teaching kung fu since 1988... I have been trying to teach this very concept.
Awesome work! Thank you!
Great teacher!
Great great work. Thanks.
Thank you!
Great work and explains 👍👊👊
De beauty zit in de eenvoud. Eenvoudige techniek, subliem uitgelegd en prachtig gedemonstreerd, een feest om naar te kijken.
`Hartelijk bedankt!
I had a deep conversation/debate with another martial artist on blocking..
I always stand on this point...if your blocking skills can stop one of Tyson punches, then I'll focus on it more.
Sifu is right on...and this structure, My opinion, gives us a great chance to endure an onslaught and return fire.
love your videos...
Thanks!!
Geat knowledge thank you 🙏
I would like to see more of these videos.
Mr. Mulder has allowed me to re-evaluate all the martial arts since I stated in 1982. His advice is gold🏆
Thanks so much!🙏🏻
Fantastic thank you
I don't know how I got to your page but you got a new subscriber from me great content I love your work
Thanks! Happy you appreciate!
Great stuff
Thanks a lot, mate!
You're welcome!
5:29 The reaction from the guy in the back is wild 😄
Very good video - after years of training, this Cover-Crash- Counter concept gave me a big plus in confidence. I did years of kung fu before an "knew" how to answer in 5 ways to nearly every attack. But the Problem is, like said in the video, you do not know what is coming and action beats reaction.
In other words gross motor skills > fine motor skills, I like that this guard is closer to the head I’m just wondering about straight punches harder punches to see instead of round ones and if a similar guard to high guard in boxing would help? The other thing I worry about with these high guards is although they might help stop punches, I worry about takedown attempts being easier with the hands so high up.
@@rooroo9216 Yeah, but not only that you are too slow to do the technique and have no time to choose the right one. And you are not in a controlled situation and will flinch in a more "unprofessional" way. Another plus point to the cover shown in this video is that is a natural response to something which comes quick to your a head (like a ball or milk can from the top of the stock pile) you only have to sharpen that and step into the threat.
A boxing style guard in my experience depends a lot on the angle of the attack and you do not protecting your neck. I got a shot on the neck/end of the skull in sparring and that caused neurological problems instantly, even if that was not with full power by accident and with gloves.
Takedown: Maybe you can get takled but lean forward and you could sprawl if you sense that kind of action.
It is clear that it is not perfect (what ever that means) for everything but it is a very good "one-fits-all" action if you do not know what ist coming. Straight punch to this cover (tip of your elbow) without cloves is no fun for the attacker.
@@mutant0177 Yeah I can see how the jab could kind of hit the elbow and break the knuckles, connect to the arm, bounce off left, bounce off right, above, or if this charging in technique is applied correctly they’ll probably end up getting their jab arm jammed up a few times anyway being too close. The opening up action downwards could also be a strike, or a grab/slapping an arm down (with a head butt) and then the strikes come. It’s certainly one of the better guards I’ve seen, I just think any enemy (if he’s even still standing that is) would immediately resort to grappling or takedowns after seeing so many of their strikes fail, it can happen a lot in fights. Sprawling is a good choice, hopefully they don’t fake the takedown, but there also might be some time to jam the elbows on/brace against their takedown (it’s kind of hard to explain how it looks).
What happened there sounds similar to what happens when a neck chop, hammer fist or other strike accidental or not happens on the neck, it might not always knock someone out like in the films, but cause a delay/stun them for a bit. It’s also probably why back of the head strikes are often banned, but can still happen now and then by accident.
There is never a 100% solution..When somebody takes me down..I’m still conscious. Point of this is to protect the head! So they don’t knock
Me out! You need to look into the gaps of your arm to see if he goes for a weapon or low line attack. If he goes low you sprawl. Fighting is always dynamic. You need to adapt all the time. But at least you can adapt because you are still conscious instead of knocked the f❤️ck out.
@@schoolofselfprotection Indeed, after all takedowns aren’t the only way someone ends up on the ground!
Thanks Great video
Good job, brah. Action always beats reaction.
Thanks!
THIS IS PURE GOLD.......
Thank a lot!!
Brilliant teaching as always
Thank Andrew!
I love this guy 🤩 he is really teaching real things which work in Street fight.

Thank you sir for lessons I hope meet you for more lessons
Thank you very much!
I would like to know, which video equipment you are recording with, please?!
Very clear, hi-def 4k 360 lens. Thank You Very Much! 😃👍
For me boxing and bloquing but with boxing style with my left arm in a street fight last week was very useful and its very similar with this technique doing a step to the front while the other is punching you, i also like this technique is pretty effective also with the knee with right knee, excellent video.
Thank you!
AWESOME thank you sir !
You are welcome!🙏🏻
Awesome! This is the real Stuff. In combination with Wrestling/Grappling Skills you are prepared for a “one on one Situation”! No Bullshido this is Fighting! 👌
Thank you!
Good stuff. Morrison 2.0. UC had been a fav of mine for a bit.
Excellent
This is what I will teach or try to teach to my daughters and son. It’s real and straight forward
Great to hear!! Tell them hi from me!
This is the real deal in a real street fight situation. Fast, decisive and explosive.
No BS. Fcuking great teacher!
Thank you very much!
Love it!
Wow extraordinary man❤❤❤
Great skills
I think this gent is the best I have seen.
Thank you! Very kind!
Taught and trained in JKD/Kali/Silat for close to 32 yrs. Still train in Silat and have considered training in Defence Lab (DL). I've dropped the DL idea since I found Michiel's and Lee's Urban Combatives.
Michiel and his Urban Combatives is excellent. For me, my opinion only, it's is a very effective art that is somewhere between Silat & Defence Lab (DL). In many ways it's better than DL because it not as hookie and Michiel and even Lee are not always pimping you to buy their products/upsell you on their products.
Also, Michiel is so spot on bout using and articulating your Self-Protective actions when applying them in a Self-Protection situation as using what is "Necessary & Reasonable".
Many MFers teaching Martial Arts don't teach realistic Self-Defense. I know plenty of JKD/Kali Instructors that are good technicians but can't fight their way outta a paperbag. At best they are teaching unrealistic Self-Defense techniques and at worse they are teaching a cultural dance.
I was fortunate or unfortunate if you must that since age 13 the Self-Protective situations I got into were against 2, 3, 4 AssClowns at once. So with that background and experience I trained my JKD/Kali/Silat with a real world mindset understanding the treachery of a Street Fight.
Silat is so fucking good, like Michiel and Lee's UC at teaching you to deal with multiple opponents.
Nor do instructors teach the ramifications of your actions in a Self-Protection situation, i. e. Jail or a Civil Lawsuit or both. For new students I had this was generally lesson #3 I taught them or in the 1st week of their training.
Dropped 4 Turds last time I was in a street fight and when the Poe-Poe arrived they determined I was the aggressor and I was arrested.
Good tips,thanks
You are welcome!
Holy crap I love that protecting the head and using the hammer fist. It's like the movie 300, they repelled the enemy with the shields, then thrust in with the swords.
Action always beats reaction! Great quote. If it’s the right action.
Thanks! Exactly!
Excellent really Excellent
Excelente , new suscriptor from Argentina.
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome video! I do like this style. And its so similar to krav maga. I learned this defense in my krav maga class as well. Just a 360 defense is not Always enough.
Thanks..but it’s not a style. It’s all about violence and concepts to deal with that. The 360 defense goes totally out of the window when we pressure tested it. Not realistic when the attack is fueled by hate. Thanks for appreciating the content! Feel welcome in class.
Keeping it real, no bullshit. Very good, thank you.
Much appreciated!
You always have to look. Sometimes when you go to knee you have to see if his arm and/or hand fell, or is, in front of him, thus, that knee may not work. Always look, this is split second stuff sometimes. The best thing, if you're outside, is just take off and run, if not be prepared to scratch, bite and claw if necessary. That fear will become adrenaline and then survival and then action. Run, run, run if you can, most will not chase you.
God Bless brothers and sisters.
Apologies to Urban Combativs Netherlands. I was very sceptical of the "Helmet" defence. It WORKS.I tried it.. Especially when blindsided or multiple attackers!. There even is a whole system based around the double hand head guard called Keysi out of Spain. Respect
Thanks!
Great content..as always.
Thank you!
AWESOME!!!
Thank you!
Great video!!!✊✌
Thanks!
Very good teaching
Thanks!
Eens voor mij via judo, jiu jitsu, naar karate. Maar helaas toen voor mij een sport. Helaas, ik ben78 jaar.
Door U video zie ik het echte werk, bedankt voor u werk. In Amsterdam zie je nooit maar 1 boef voor je.
Dus ik heb altijd wat me.
Het is beter in de lik dan in het ziekenhuis te komen.
Beste Dick. Wat een eer om te lezen dat u mijn video’s kijkt. En u heeft een mindset waar heel veel nog van kunnen leren!
Lovin it

Thanks!
Well done guys
Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant
Thank you!

I am from India, your videos are so close to real life I hope some day I can come to Netherlands to train under. So many other courses are theoretical and don't mimic real life
I'm tutoring a 12 year old in the art of K1 and self defence. After seeing this, I'm going to rethink my teaching of not showing the blocking techniques, I've been practicing for the last 16 years. Awesome tutorial - definitely subscribed.
Great to hear!!
