I clicked on this video expecting it to be very unrealistic, but you surprised me. Thanks for the valuable insight. Don't know if this is a common scenario though lol
Women should not wear high heeled shoes. They are bad for their feet, ankles, spine, etc.--as well as not tactical (unable to run). Good points made in the vid.
Something like this almost happened to me. I calmed the guy & the other guy got to my girl and she already had the pepper spray under her jacket. So one of them got pepper sprayed and I pushed the guy in front of me and we ran away. I was 18 back then.
When it comes to these situations sometimes we may tend to get cold sweat and afraid,which is 50% normal for most people,i been in situation like this and it happned to me , so point is what can u do ? to get rid of this fear/*****
zac morris its your adrenaline kicking in with the *Fight or Flight* scenario. the only way really to overcome this is through ALOT of experience honestly. i've been in this situation before but since I know how to box quite well and most people today don't take boxing and love to throw haymakers(wide swinging outward punches) I simply watched both of them, did as he did in the video until i estimated them both and as he says in another video to never underestimate your opponents, hit hard, fast and hit precisely in the chin which will most of the time knock out one of the two guys and now you can focus on the other 100% and usually they will grab their buddy and run.
deathnote939393 Good mindset. In a knife fight you have to fight with a "Non-losing" mentality. Not try to win, but to simply survive, and especially the person you care about.
It would be far cheaper (as in not having to pay for self-defense classes) to take your date to nice restaurants in nice areas where you're not going to meet ex-cons.
I always instruct every girlfriend I've had to stfu if there is ever a confrontation with some dirt bags. I told her never to distract me and believe me it has helped. Tell your women in advance to not distract you from potential threats.
Another thing is to tell her not to ruin the element of surprise by telling them you're carrying a blade or firearm. Because even if you could have talked your way out of the situation, that may instantly escalate the situation. She has to trust you to deploy your weapon at the right time, without giving them a heads up.
I have been watching these videos for a couple of months and my brothers have help me practice. Ad I just want to say thank you to you because I little brother and I were walking home from school and some bigger kids came up and tried to take his backpack and because of you I was able to defend us! So just thank you and keep doing what you're doing!
Good video Nick cam I add a step tho, teach your loved one to put both hands on your back when possible if not at least one so you know where they are and they can feel your direction change even slightly and to go with you as you column and funnel you assailants. To you who say your girl should be able to defend herself, I train my soon to be wife and she hits like a donkey kick but I still want her out of harms way whenever possible. Keep up the good work people need to know how unprepared they are and their need to learn to defend themself.
Anything could happen in any situation and he clearly explained that. All he was trying to say was his very first goal would be to protect his female. Obviously a lot of you guys aren't getting his memo correct. I think he is amazing and I love his video's.
One of the best things my sensei taught me was to focus one guy while watching the other one, and then spring the shot on the guy you aren't focusing on for the advantage of a first strike. Helped me once in a street situation and in video games all the time!
I have watched hundreds of videos about self defence in all kinds of situations, yet there hasn't been a single situation so far in my life where I would need this. It always strikes me how pathetic it is that so many people (like me) feel the need to prepare for situations that coudln't even occur if our world was a good place.
Aside from your clear extensive training, I can tell you have very good instinct because especially towards the end of the video you aren't looking at EITHER of the "attackers" or the camera, you are instinctively looking between them so you can watch both of them with your peripheral view at the same time. Very nice.
Watching the beginning of the video made my heart pound because in the street and on the basketball court theres often a couple of short tempered people looking for a fight and they always call upon their friends and its so annoying and stressful. I never had to defend my gf but my friends yes, so i can learn a lot from your vids. Subscribed.
Most of those men have nothing to loose (no job no wife and no life)and(if they loose at their favorite game they go ballistic….)( my spiritual coach taught me this
Best part of this: deescalate and try to remove yourself from the situation. If they did attack, tactically it would be beneficial for one guy to go after the girlfriend because then you only have to deal with one attacker. However, when deescalating, it would be beneficial to keep both away from her because if one does get to her and starts doing whatever to her, then the deescalation is probably over and you'll be forced to action.
what should he teach you ? How to fight ? Ok, than just take a Jiu-Jitsu class. He is just showing how to handel a situation like that, its no all about fighting, its about to get out of there safe..
this i the kind of situation where i would ask myself "should i try to defuse it until one of them attack or should i kill both of them before they kill me?" of course it depend of if they look like playing or preying. you can't be sure if the threat is real or potential, but when you know the threat is real it's already too late. you're going to fight against two attackers while protecting someone (it can be your girlfriend, your kid, your little brother or a friend who can't fight), you have even less room for error than when you're only defending yourself. if it's not me alone, but someone i care for, who's life is one the line, i wouldn't allow myself to let any room for him getting hurt.
+Vincent de Guard what? that's bullshit :P you're gonna let something like that scare you out of enjoying life with your woman? fuck thugs and punks. all bullies are cowards inside. a good rap in the mouth is enough to scare them off. if someone isn't a coward and a bully, he wouldn't be picking on innocent people. the strong and brave don't bully people because they don't have to--they have self confidence that comes from within. they don't have to pick on people to feel big.
I would like to add that you should listen to your instincts. If a club or a street is giving you a bad vibe, listen to those danger signals and get the heck out of there. It won't make you less of a man to be safe.
Great advice Nick in as far as covering her so they can't get past you to get to her. But scenarios like this tend to quickly escalate into physical confrontations. Once the situation can no longer be defused by talking and the actual physical fighting begins a good strategy would be to use one of those guys as a shield (a bunching bag) between you and your girlfriend and the other guy.
The best way that can pretend your girlfriend against a future attack is by simply allowing her to learn to defend herself and do for herself. That way she'll grow into a strong independent lady. And you'll be safe. Lol
Ha, like my wife...shes my trainingspartner in FMA, has the same instructor (GM), is really interested in Self Defense and she had the spirit of fighting.
Men are biologically proven to be stronger than the average women. Even the female powerlifters at my school lift half as much as the male powerlifters. Some women just can't defend themselves against two full grown men. And even if she could, only an asshole would sit back and watch while his girl fought off two attackers on her own. I lose in arm wrestles to my 6 year old sister, so if i was put in this situation and my boyfriend couldn't help, I'd be screwed
Best advice: Plan beforehand. Tell her that if someone confronts you, she should stay behind you, hopefully 1 mt away from you to let you move in case a fight happens, and as soon as she sees the chance she should get the shoes off and run while you fight the two. Then you just move in a circular motion around them A LOT. The idea is so that they are always one behind eachother, not letting them go both at the same time. 80% of the work against a 2 man fight is legwork and movement. The other 20% is hitting. If you let them go both at once chances are you are probably done even though you have fighting experience. Can't really fight expecting you will drop them in one hit or two because that might not be the case.
Ok this made me think, when I go out with girlfriends I tend to feel like I would be the scrappier more level headed one in a situation like this. So I don't know if you have a video like this but maybe do one where it's just two or three girls and a group of guys?
OOOH another one I would like to see is like a mom with a stroller or a small child. Because I have heard that they can be targets because they are less likely to fight thinking it will keep their child safer.
Bro its also important to tell your girls already that they have to give you space and finish the fight alone. I often say go away to the girl or assist me if those bunch of guys let me fall and then smack a knife or bottle into their face. its good to be both having small weapon gimmicks, I'm not talking about guns and such. Just small things in handy. Important your girls gives you space to Finish the fight I would say? but often if they never tried it they get shocked and women are women and hence your points are relevant.
I like the way you "moved" from the open space to the doorway in the first scenario, so you sort of "lined-up" the two attackers, you can't fight two at a time, so it's better to take them 1 by 1 if possible/needed. Trying to be neutral to all the attackers, instead to only one of them. So funny to see so many principles you use are so related to Kenpo, only explained in different words. Keep up the good work.
I don't know. My wife and me had a situation like this, well, about 15 years ago now.... And the greatest difference and the most irritating thing was that she would not stay behind me whatever I tried, it was as much a struggle with her (on a psychological level) as with the guys (there were 2 as well). In the end we managed to get away but I wish she reacted like your girlfriend from the video. I remember all the same thoughts racing through my head, like she's not gonna outrun them etc.
Love the video, I use something very similar with my girl. We have an understanding that if I recognise something and I have to react, regardless of what we have going on, she knows to listen and follow my instructions. She knows not to question or worry about me and she knows that whatever is going to happen is to ensure her safety whilst increasing my chances of success or recovery. Like you, it's less about the variables, it's more about the immediacy of the situation and having the piece of mind to have thought about 'what's possible'. I would imagine that you, like me, would happily take a beating or engage in combat if it meant that you're girl or other loved one were safe. Thanks for the videos, they're much appreciated.
in a situatuion like this sometimes you'll have to fight and if that happens dont know the rest of you guys but i'd fight dirty and i mean nasty shit , eye gouging , hair pulling ( if he isnt bald ) and biting , yes i'd bite the fucker in the face , nose or neck , anything goes when protecting your girl or family , good video Nick ...
ye sure but . if u attack first ( they just touched ur face / i know thats pretty shit but ) -# they get a reason to demolish you . and ... what r u doin if ur not a 10 years combat training athlete? just a normal random dude.? maybe the enemys got fighting training or weapons .
Meanwhile the "girl" should stop texting his girlfriends or STOP taking pictures of herself, and call the police.. She has a DUTY to protect her Man AS WELL, and she HAS A PHONE .
you need to teach your girlfriend how to fight or how to kick one in the balls. in this scenario you put your self more at risk by looking like a macho man. You cannot defend against a knife attack and you WILL like you said have to attack first. However, that is bad advice for everyone else that is untrained in the martial arts or fighting bud. Give some real tactics, not on how to get killed for being a macho man.
Great tips here! A very neglected topic in many people's training. I'm teaching my girlfriend situational awareness right now and I'm wondering how far behind me she should stand in such a situation. Too close like in this video and it impairs my mobility to fight, makes me easier to keep in one place, and she might get hit by something I deflect. Especially against 2 people. Too far and it's easy to get around me. How did you choose the spacing for this video?
I try and teach my wife and little girl some of these things - so nice to see that I am doing it the same way...thank YOU so much for these videos. in todays world badly sadly needed - you rock bro!
good tips but....this is 2016 and women want equal rights as men. So with that said, can you make a video about how a girlfriend can protect her boyfriend. Its time these girls put in work and protect us.
A female protecting a male from two attackers? Who do you think you are Rhonda Rousey? Women are tough yes but Men are made to have bigger more muscular built bodies, a skinny short girl isn't gonna takedown a muscular thug is she? No.
Regina Freitag Most times things escalate badly when the woman tries get into the fight. Women are too scared and aggressive and it doesn't help men in any way. Just stay back and silent and run to a safe place whenever it's possible.
Nigel willis it all depends on how bloody you're willing to get. There was a girl in the town I grew up in El Salvador, that escaped being raped by ripping the guy's eyes out and kicking him in the throat when he went down on his knees. Viciousness + speed + taking an opening can be a deadly combo, no matter the weight difference. And that's not taking weapons into account.
Good video, Nick, just found your channel and I like your stuff! I have a tip for people here tho... One time me and my girl were walking thru the neighborhood at night after going out all night and getting some food (she was pregnant at the time) and it was really late ... 2-3am in morn, I think. We hear a commotion near a neighbor's house and someone yelling "Hey, help me! This guy's tryin to rob me!" ... and we see a figure in the shadows. I had a gun on me, but she's wearing heels _and_ she's pregnant. So I turned to her to tell her what to do, but she _already_ knew from past experience: She pulled her shoes off, enabling her to run if need be. Handed her my knife and the keys, told her to get moving (she didn't want to leave me but I made her go) and then I pulled my weapon from the holster and took cover by a post and electrical box for a sec to cover her escape (till she was at a safe distance). That demonstrates my tip: _If your girl has heels on and it's likely she will need to run, get her to take em off_ while you try to give her enough time and cover to get her shoes off (some women's shoes are hard as hell to take off), and also give her the car/house keys and keep the aggressors at bay while she retreats to safety. Also, could tell the rest of the story if anyone wants to hear it -- there were shots fired, but thankfully no one died.
hi nick, i am a big guy power lifter and formal military and i can defend my self well as well as take on multiple attackers. My question is do you have any suggestion on how to teach my lady defense posture on how we both better our odds on detouring attackers
+ht8r22 That good point...the girl in this vid is way too passive. She looks fit enough to at least kick, pick-up a weapon, or learn some basic self-defense moves.
Great tips. everyone says. "Oh, Its common sense dude!" well it aint when you totally forget at the last minute and everything's going by so fast. by time youre thinking, "Oh shit, wheres the exit, wheres security, wheres my girl/wife?" and you will instantly forget. and it doesnt have to be your girlfriend idiots. it can be your sister/cousin/mom/friend. i love how you explained where you dont what theyre gonna do because its completely random. so basically. 1. keep your package behind you 2 dont let either person out of your sight 3. find the exit and if possible avoid the fight and if not, confront them and end it quickly.
Great management of space, I liked the fact that you didn't fought at all, you managed to control and secure a scape path and avoid the corner. This is as useful as a fighting technique. Thanks for sharing! :)
Im doing this Kind of Sports for like 12 years im 17 now. And i had a Thing like this one Time. And to all guys dont fight you dont have to show your girl how "strong" you r.
for first time viewers this might be a lil' strange, but if you view the older videos you will know that is just opening spaces for be preemptive. gr8 vid nick! congrats to all you guys
Viciously fast groin kick for the one nearest me and go from there. You can't plan for chaos but you can take the first opportunity to lessen the threat.
Also, it's good to have your girlfriend talk trash to the two attackers while she is behind you, this causing the attackers to not focus on the boyfriend as much. Giving him an advantage.
My girlfriend protects me, shes always by my side when i'm out. So if shit like this pops off, i just give her a squeeze, she gets to work, then all is well again
Seriously awesome video, everyone always like to make vids of the "movie" type situation, you hit with an easy KO punch then the other guy gets so scared by your power he runs away and your the hero etc etc.. this is true, your right, you DONT know where the other guy is going to go or what their thinking, Very Good Video, Real World Video, Subscribed =)
good point about shielding but the narrow passageway that you ended up in early in the vid was a missed point for me, if your confronted by a group trying to circle you a narrow passageway is a massive advantage (providing its not a dead end) if you get in that passageway thats when you can attack because only one guy at a time can attack you, they can't circle or jump you or get to your girl. if they rush they will knock each other off balance, which you can take advantage of. personally i wouldn't have come out of that passage way, id have got there then launched my attack.
Agreed, it is so unpredictable, i been in this situation before, it got quite bad, luckily i never suffered too much damage, great video for a great technique.
I've watched some of your defense videos, and I've enjoyed what I've seen so far. Do you have any recommendations for a specific martial art or what to look for in a self-defense school for someone who wants to learn applicable defense skills as far as live classes go?
Girls if you're with your boyfriend you should honestly bring pepper spray anyway! Or a knife if you're ok with carrying one. You should help your boyfriend as much as you can.
I feel like my pure unfiltered rage would scare off any would be attackers. Like legit, if two assheads just start cornering me, i'd legit go mental and start grunting and growling like some sort of beast then explode and pound on my chest like a silverback gorilla and yell and scream like a mad man, then use pure brute force and animalistic tactics to beat them into submission like biting and beating them with my fists. i feel I'd scare the absolute shit out of them with just the yelling.
Nice video. My worst concern is with this kind of scenario. If I have to deal against some attackers, I can hit & run. But If I'm with my girlfriend, I must to protect her. Thanks for this vids. Another subscriber here.

Kick the thugs in the groin or perhaps even consider holding a firearm weapon for protection
I clicked on this video expecting it to be very unrealistic, but you surprised me. Thanks for the valuable insight. Don't know if this is a common scenario though lol
You see it often. Two thugs who look like they are drunk or just got out of jail. Looking for trouble.
I'm single, but would like to borrow the girl in this video for practice.
smooth bish
i borrow too
What you mean by practice ?
Says the guy with a pickle with a boner as his profile picture
This will be useful when I'm with my mom.
Fate Nightroad ah so sweet❤️
Ah bro we got the same mind set
Great minds think alike
Cool, two latins as attackers!
"mamacita"' lol
I was looking around for a comment like this 😂😂😂
xD

Women should not wear high heeled shoes. They are bad for their feet, ankles, spine, etc.--as well as not tactical (unable to run). Good points made in the vid.
They make a mighty weapon. No knife use your heel, strike & run lol
@@michgonxo7543 and they look good
But so are tights pants if you need to run 😂
I don't protect my girlfriend, my girlfriend protects me.

1 unarmed vs 2 knife-wielders:
have fun dying
jep. try to run.
but if not possible you have to fight with all you've got! try to survive not to win.
at least give your gf the option to run! :D
deathnote939393 Good mindset. In a knife fight you have to fight with a "Non-losing" mentality. Not try to win, but to simply survive, and especially the person you care about.
Also, who attempts this right outside of a restaurant with there being multiple witnesses
That's why I have concealed carry just in case!
nice!
That girl is ridiculously hot
+Jim yep
Ridonculousley
Hell Yeah

you re in love now !
It would be far cheaper (as in not having to pay for self-defense classes) to take your date to nice restaurants in nice areas where you're not going to meet ex-cons.
lol
Lol in what sense do you mean cheaper... Hahahaha you menat safer
Yousaf Khan Cheap as in not having to pay for self-defense lessons to protect your girlfriend.
Ohh lol yhh sorry
+larry harson Crazy people are literally everywhere
I felt like those guys were serious HAHAHAHA
I always instruct every girlfriend I've had to stfu if there is ever a confrontation with some dirt bags. I told her never to distract me and believe me it has helped. Tell your women in advance to not distract you from potential threats.
And not to start screaming hysterically. Nothing worse than when a woman starts screaming.
Another thing is to tell her not to ruin the element of surprise by telling them you're carrying a blade or firearm. Because even if you could have talked your way out of the situation, that may instantly escalate the situation.

Lee Tompkins if heels are a problem too, would be a good idea to try and get those off before they start surrounding you
Tman Goodguy not to mention they make a good improvised weapon

How can you strike if not watching him? 😂
Underrated acting by the three guys. Really good tbh

It always strikes me how pathetic it is that so many people (like me) feel the need to prepare for situations that coudln't even occur if our world was a good place.
Man 1.2M that goes to show their still are some real men out here.
Aside from your clear extensive training, I can tell you have very good instinct because especially towards the end of the video you aren't looking at EITHER of the "attackers" or the camera, you are instinctively looking between them so you can watch both of them with your peripheral view at the same time. Very nice.
Basically first rule is to control the distance between you and attackers and control the space. Applies to any situation.

she's a solid 10/10 :O
as a lady , to me, the morale of this lesson is: wear flats. lol at least I can run for my life!
exactly !
True that
This guys videos teach me absolutely nothing
js dn prby because u are fkin stuid macita por favor
hahahaha ! use your full power and unleash your rage on these punks and you ll see that this video is a total joke !
This is Sparta!!!
what should he teach you ? How to fight ? Ok, than just take a Jiu-Jitsu class.
He is just showing how to handel a situation like that, its no all about fighting, its about to get out of there safe..
So fkn true 😂
this i the kind of situation where i would ask myself "should i try to defuse it until one of them attack or should i kill both of them before they kill me?" of course it depend of if they look like playing or preying. you can't be sure if the threat is real or potential, but when you know the threat is real it's already too late. you're going to fight against two attackers while protecting someone (it can be your girlfriend, your kid, your little brother or a friend who can't fight), you have even less room for error than when you're only defending yourself. if it's not me alone, but someone i care for, who's life is one the line, i wouldn't allow myself to let any room for him getting hurt.
I was more distracted seeing the girl than the actual content of the video
Aye she was pretty cute. ;)
+popis3493 Indeed...she way too pretty to take anywhere that has the potential to not be safe ;)
+Vincent de Guard what? that's bullshit :P you're gonna let something like that scare you out of enjoying life with your woman? fuck thugs and punks. all bullies are cowards inside. a good rap in the mouth is enough to scare them off. if someone isn't a coward and a bully, he wouldn't be picking on innocent people. the strong and brave don't bully people because they don't have to--they have self confidence that comes from within. they don't have to pick on people to feel big.
roflmows Amen to that. I got zero respect for bullies. But in cases like this you know they got to be brave because they could easily get shot.
I would like to add that you should listen to your instincts. If a club or a street is giving you a bad vibe, listen to those danger signals and get the heck out of there. It won't make you less of a man to be safe.
First of all, give that girl my compliments. second, awesome vid! this situation is so hard to even prepare for! thanks Nick!!! RESPECT!
Oooooh, okay. I always thought in a 2 v 1 scenario you were supposed to bonk their heads together like in the cartoon
😂
Great advice Nick in as far as covering her so they can't get past you to get to her. But scenarios like this tend to quickly escalate into physical confrontations. Once the situation can no longer be defused by talking and the actual physical fighting begins a good strategy would be to use one of those guys as a shield (a bunching bag) between you and your girlfriend and the other guy.
Awesome vids on protecting your lady. Keep them coming.
This is why I wear heals. You're ever in trouble, and that thing is like a tomahawk if you use it right.
And what should I do if I don't have a girlfriend? xD
U can protect your boyfriend instead
Protecting your right hand is important in any fighting system.
go date a gay dude hahahaha
Run
gevlince get a girlfriend and then defend her xD
Great! Now i just need a girlfriend
Hey man did it work?
send her back in the restaurant you distract them while she gets to safety and calls the cops...
Depending on the restaurant,but She may not come back at all.
Man you think like me
HOW TO DEFEND YOUR GIRLFRIEND?
Feminism will help her, don´t worry about her, she is fine.
Me: I don't even have a girlfriend
My brain:JUST IN CASE
The best way that can pretend your girlfriend against a future attack is by simply allowing her to learn to defend herself and do for herself. That way she'll grow into a strong independent lady. And you'll be safe. Lol
Ha, like my wife...shes my trainingspartner in FMA, has the same instructor (GM), is really interested in Self Defense and she had the spirit of fighting.
Hamitic Bloodline what if the girl has a past injury or illness that doesn't let her defend herself?
Men are biologically proven to be stronger than the average women. Even the female powerlifters at my school lift half as much as the male powerlifters. Some women just can't defend themselves against two full grown men. And even if she could, only an asshole would sit back and watch while his girl fought off two attackers on her own. I lose in arm wrestles to my 6 year old sister, so if i was put in this situation and my boyfriend couldn't help, I'd be screwed
Best advice: Plan beforehand. Tell her that if someone confronts you, she should stay behind you, hopefully 1 mt away from you to let you move in case a fight happens, and as soon as she sees the chance she should get the shoes off and run while you fight the two.

80% of the work against a 2 man fight is legwork and movement. The other 20% is hitting. If you let them go both at once chances are you are probably done even though you have fighting experience. Can't really fight expecting you will drop them in one hit or two because that might not be the case.
My respects to you man, I love how you keep shit real. keep it up
Ok this made me think, when I go out with girlfriends I tend to feel like I would be the scrappier more level headed one in a situation like this. So I don't know if you have a video like this but maybe do one where it's just two or three girls and a group of guys?
OOOH another one I would like to see is like a mom with a stroller or a small child. Because I have heard that they can be targets because they are less likely to fight thinking it will keep their child safer.
The ultimate girlfriend defence is not to have one.
Bro its also important to tell your girls already that they have to give you space and finish the fight alone. I often say go away to the girl or assist me if those bunch of guys let me fall and then smack a knife or bottle into their face. its good to be both having small weapon gimmicks, I'm not talking about guns and such. Just small things in handy. Important your girls gives you space to Finish the fight I would say? but often if they never tried it they get shocked and women are women and hence your points are relevant.
Its rubbish, if you don't have the fighting skill then none of the above matters
I like the way you "moved" from the open space to the doorway in the first scenario, so you sort of "lined-up" the two attackers, you can't fight two at a time, so it's better to take them 1 by 1 if possible/needed. Trying to be neutral to all the attackers, instead to only one of them. So funny to see so many principles you use are so related to Kenpo, only explained in different words. Keep up the good work.
I don't know. My wife and me had a situation like this, well, about 15 years ago now.... And the greatest difference and the most irritating thing was that she would not stay behind me whatever I tried, it was as much a struggle with her (on a psychological level) as with the guys (there were 2 as well). In the end we managed to get away but I wish she reacted like your girlfriend from the video. I remember all the same thoughts racing through my head, like she's not gonna outrun them etc.
Love the video, I use something very similar with my girl. We have an understanding that if I recognise something and I have to react, regardless of what we have going on, she knows to listen and follow my instructions. She knows not to question or worry about me and she knows that whatever is going to happen is to ensure her safety whilst increasing my chances of success or recovery. Like you, it's less about the variables, it's more about the immediacy of the situation and having the piece of mind to have thought about 'what's possible'. I would imagine that you, like me, would happily take a beating or engage in combat if it meant that you're girl or other loved one were safe. Thanks for the videos, they're much appreciated.
in a situatuion like this sometimes you'll have to fight and if that happens dont know the rest of you guys but i'd fight dirty and i mean nasty shit , eye gouging , hair pulling ( if he isnt bald ) and biting , yes i'd bite the fucker in the face , nose or neck , anything goes when protecting your girl or family , good video Nick ...
ye sure but . if u attack first ( they just touched ur face / i know thats pretty shit but ) -# they get a reason to demolish you . and ... what r u doin if ur not a 10 years combat training athlete? just a normal random dude.? maybe the enemys got fighting training or weapons .
like the way he keeps it real and not like Steven Seagal movie where he can't be touched. Good job dude.
OMG! She's so beautiful.
Agreed!
“Mamacita”
I have a girlfriend and her and I both fight so have no worries, but this is useful for a lot of people
Man I love this guy. Every video is worth watching. I watch them over and over just to cement the information.
Damn is she gorgeous!
I don't know, is she? lol
WolfPresident ahahahahaha I guess
she s not that hot beautiful but not super hot ! it s a normal beauty for me i would give her a 6,5/10
Meanwhile the "girl" should stop texting his girlfriends or STOP taking pictures of herself, and call the police.. She has a DUTY to protect her Man AS WELL, and she HAS A PHONE .
you need to teach your girlfriend how to fight or how to kick one in the balls. in this scenario you put your self more at risk by looking like a macho man. You cannot defend against a knife attack and you WILL like you said have to attack first. However, that is bad advice for everyone else that is untrained in the martial arts or fighting bud.
Give some real tactics, not on how to get killed for being a macho man.
This is why I don't wear heals... If my boyfriend had to defend me, I would help him as much as I could (pepper spray the attackers etc) and run
Great tips here! A very neglected topic in many people's training. I'm teaching my girlfriend situational awareness right now and I'm wondering how far behind me she should stand in such a situation. Too close like in this video and it impairs my mobility to fight, makes me easier to keep in one place, and she might get hit by something I deflect. Especially against 2 people. Too far and it's easy to get around me.
How did you choose the spacing for this video?
I try and teach my wife and little girl some of these things - so nice to see that I am doing it the same way...thank YOU so much for these videos. in todays world badly sadly needed - you rock bro!
Am I the only one who finds it really hot how gentlemanly and protective he is, even though I'll remove my heels and help defend?
I do appreciate you share this knowledge and the clear way you explain it. That marks you as a good teacher.
CAUTION (NOT KIDDING):
Beware of your girlfriends and who they communicate with....
there are few times that incidents like this is predesigned!!
At no point should you back yourself into a corner if possible.
the obvious thing to do would be to throw your gf at them as tribute and take off sprinting ;)
StylinRed lmao
Lol that's pretty funny
Fuckin hilarious
I don't always agree with your fighting techniques, but your philosophy is spot on. Always live in the moment.
good tips but....this is 2016 and women want equal rights as men. So with that said, can you make a video about how a girlfriend can protect her boyfriend. Its time these girls put in work and protect us.
A female protecting a male from two attackers? Who do you think you are Rhonda Rousey? Women are tough yes but Men are made to have bigger more muscular built bodies, a skinny short girl isn't gonna takedown a muscular thug is she? No.
Lmao. Are you serious
Equal rights doesn't change biology
Holy shit, great acting on your parts. The intro really showed how fast these situations can come out of nowhere.
0:57 did he just say salami
Hugo Hamster hahaha, and his face when he turned back :D, it's like "After recording, am gonna eat whole delicious salami i have"
Lesson Learned: make your girl wear running shoes!!!!
That was very good, but I don't understand why she can't help. One man and a woman have more chances against two man than one man alone.
One might grab her and run off.
+Mister Babadook Girl would get away with using any means required to defend herself...biting, scratching, kicking, anything!
And we have a woman who thinks she can kick a man's arse when he weighs over two hundred pounds. I'm shocked.
Regina Freitag Most times things escalate badly when the woman tries get into the fight. Women are too scared and aggressive and it doesn't help men in any way. Just stay back and silent and run to a safe place whenever it's possible.
Nigel willis it all depends on how bloody you're willing to get. There was a girl in the town I grew up in El Salvador, that escaped being raped by ripping the guy's eyes out and kicking him in the throat when he went down on his knees. Viciousness + speed + taking an opening can be a deadly combo, no matter the weight difference. And that's not taking weapons into account.
Good video, Nick, just found your channel and I like your stuff!
I have a tip for people here tho... One time me and my girl were walking thru the neighborhood at night after going out all night and getting some food (she was pregnant at the time) and it was really late ... 2-3am in morn, I think. We hear a commotion near a neighbor's house and someone yelling "Hey, help me! This guy's tryin to rob me!" ... and we see a figure in the shadows. I had a gun on me, but she's wearing heels _and_ she's pregnant. So I turned to her to tell her what to do, but she _already_ knew from past experience: She pulled her shoes off, enabling her to run if need be. Handed her my knife and the keys, told her to get moving (she didn't want to leave me but I made her go) and then I pulled my weapon from the holster and took cover by a post and electrical box for a sec to cover her escape (till she was at a safe distance). That demonstrates my tip: _If your girl has heels on and it's likely she will need to run, get her to take em off_ while you try to give her enough time and cover to get her shoes off (some women's shoes are hard as hell to take off), and also give her the car/house keys and keep the aggressors at bay while she retreats to safety.
Also, could tell the rest of the story if anyone wants to hear it -- there were shots fired, but thankfully no one died.
I know this was posted 3 weeks ago but im quite interested in what happened next.
9 years later, and I’m also interested to hear the rest.
Both carry
yup, problem solved.
Mad respect bro, you were honest and tactical, you kept your number 1 priority in mind and SAFE! I bow to you sir. 👊👏
Thanks for watching
I say throw the chick at them and run, get another girlfriend. Most likely she'll want to get married, then divorce you and take you to the cleaners.
This guy is the best martial artist in the internet
hi nick, i am a big guy power lifter and formal military and i can defend my self well as well as take on multiple attackers. My question is do you have any suggestion on how to teach my lady defense posture on how we both better our odds on detouring attackers
+ht8r22 That good point...the girl in this vid is way too passive. She looks fit enough to at least kick, pick-up a weapon, or learn some basic self-defense moves.
Great tips. everyone says. "Oh, Its common sense dude!" well it aint when you totally forget at the last minute and everything's going by so fast. by time youre thinking, "Oh shit, wheres the exit, wheres security, wheres my girl/wife?" and you will instantly forget. and it doesnt have to be your girlfriend idiots. it can be your sister/cousin/mom/friend. i love how you explained where you dont what theyre gonna do because its completely random.
so basically.
1. keep your package behind you
2 dont let either person out of your sight
3. find the exit and if possible avoid the fight and if not, confront them and end it quickly.
Realistic, simple, effective. Great Stuff!
Great management of space, I liked the fact that you didn't fought at all, you managed to control and secure a scape path and avoid the corner. This is as useful as a fighting technique. Thanks for sharing! :)
Amazing videos Nick!! Keep it up and Thanks a lot!!
This is highly interesting, I like the way you teach.
Keep on making videos man, I appreciate your insights!
Im doing this Kind of Sports for like 12 years im 17 now. And i had a Thing like this one Time. And to all guys dont fight you dont have to show your girl how "strong" you r.
for first time viewers this might be a lil' strange, but if you view the older videos you will know that is just opening spaces for be preemptive. gr8 vid nick! congrats to all you guys
Viciously fast groin kick for the one nearest me and go from there. You can't plan for chaos but you can take the first opportunity to lessen the threat.
good point about the high heels & needing to finish the fight. thats important
Great stuff man! I had to subscribe & I rarely subscribe to anything!
Also, it's good to have your girlfriend talk trash to the two attackers while she is behind you, this causing the attackers to not focus on the boyfriend as much. Giving him an advantage.
Genius! Good defense is understanding probability. Martial Arts. It is an art, not a science. Train for the worst case scenario and hope for the best.
My girlfriend protects me, shes always by my side when i'm out. So if shit like this pops off, i just give her a squeeze, she gets to work, then all is well again
Seriously awesome video, everyone always like to make vids of the "movie" type situation, you hit with an easy KO punch then the other guy gets so scared by your power he runs away and your the hero etc etc.. this is true, your right, you DONT know where the other guy is going to go or what their thinking, Very Good Video, Real World Video, Subscribed =)
good point about shielding but the narrow passageway that you ended up in early in the vid was a missed point for me, if your confronted by a group trying to circle you a narrow passageway is a massive advantage (providing its not a dead end) if you get in that passageway thats when you can attack because only one guy at a time can attack you, they can't circle or jump you or get to your girl. if they rush they will knock each other off balance, which you can take advantage of. personally i wouldn't have come out of that passage way, id have got there then launched my attack.
good video dude,they might be helpful one day for everybody
Agreed, it is so unpredictable, i been in this situation before, it got quite bad, luckily i never suffered too much damage, great video for a great technique.
I've watched some of your defense videos, and I've enjoyed what I've seen so far. Do you have any recommendations for a specific martial art or what to look for in a self-defense school for someone who wants to learn applicable defense skills as far as live classes go?
Girls if you're with your boyfriend you should honestly bring pepper spray anyway! Or a knife if you're ok with carrying one. You should help your boyfriend as much as you can.
Man! Your girl should be proud of you!
I feel like my pure unfiltered rage would scare off any would be attackers. Like legit, if two assheads just start cornering me, i'd legit go mental and start grunting and growling like some sort of beast then explode and pound on my chest like a silverback gorilla and yell and scream like a mad man, then use pure brute force and animalistic tactics to beat them into submission like biting and beating them with my fists. i feel I'd scare the absolute shit out of them with just the yelling.
Nice video. My worst concern is with this kind of scenario. If I have to deal against some attackers, I can hit & run. But If I'm with my girlfriend, I must to protect her. Thanks for this vids. Another subscriber here.
watching this you really made me think about this sort of situations.... Thanks Great Video
