Not only did you manage to stay cool trying to de-escalate but delivered that amount of power under pressure to both of them, you can learn so much from just watching that few seconds, thanks a lot.
Superb. MMA is great for a reciprocal fight, and everyone should train it to some degree, but most "self-defence" is about the pre-fight, and, or a very one-sided response to aggression. Learning how to avoid or manage situations is essential, and needs to be explicitly trained like any other skill.
Fantastic. I think what a lot of people dont consider when it comes to training is that we are avoiding the confrontation altogether. Like he said, it's a matter of controlling space and removing the entanglement. It's crucial to keep your hands in that defensive position while attempting to de-escalate and then utilizing the hips to generate that power when the assailant has essentially helped put you in a more advantageous position. This is honestly some of the most practical Combatives training on RUclips.
5:03 I was not expecting a "live decapitation", but it was nice to learn! You both great partners and teach the real deal with no BS attached. Amazing work for the real world. Once again, I can only admire and congratulate the amazing work you both do!
Many have no idea how tough the human body is, this man hit very hard but the attacker still gets back up. Only those who fight in the streets understand.
As a long time street fighter from Bosnia we face danger daily and there is rarely a day without a fight when you are growing up. What This man teaches is real stuff that can immensely help any non fighter defend themselves even experienced ones likewise especially when use of firearms is infringed upon and you have armed attacker with a knife etc. Mind is the key! Make sure you go through techniques in your head over again every day like a routine not to forget them and train daily if you can your body. Lift those weights As well trust me in a fight it makes a huge difference. Excellent video my man and taking care of those two a holes outside.!)
Well taught. The techniques taught here and by this guy are absolutely correct for urban combat.... It's not like traditional dojo. I have belts. The first day of military combat training you will get destroyed. It's completely different. Well taught. Retired special forces. Combat vet.
You’re a weapon who doesn’t mess around… but I truly loved that gentle touch of your hand on her cheek after the first few examples… you care ☺️ Bravo 🥇 ⚔️
Great stuff. I always had an interest in all martial arts. European/Asian, Historical/modern, weapons/empty hands, firearms/blades. There are a lot similarities between all of them. I love the “simplified” but clever real life offense/defense principles you are teaching. Thank you for sharing this, Michiel. 🙏🏻💪🏼❤️🇳🇱
Following you from Belgium quite a while now….Appreciate very much your motivation and dedication and your no nonsense teaching of self defence… Doing Krav myself, the best techniques are the simplest ones because you lose more than 50% of your means in case of aggression….and that is exactly your message. Keep up your excellent work ! 😎
Another excellent video Michiel, and I have used that powerful arm deflecting technique a few times. It definitely works, and many aggressors will back down just from that since it shows them that the victim is not messing around.
Very good and logical technique. More than one arm is the rule. If someone gets closer than that you have to react. Me as a grappler can only think of how to get you is (just an mind experiment how to counter this): grab the arm you putting in my direction to make space (almost same technique you use). And work from there. It’s a common thing to do in judo for example, if the opponent don’t want to give you the collar in first place you take his wrist. There are some throws you can do from there. I know guys who can do foot sweeps with one arm from there without that you even notice or have even time to react (even as a experienced grappler). Also leg grap‘s are maybe possible. But the thing is, that is very difficult and most people who make trouble on the streets won’t know how to counter such a technique.
Good Stuff Sir, Thanks from Florida! PS: I've been training for decades, and married for twenty, your Mrs. moves skillfully. Ping me if you ever want to do a seminar in North FL. We'd be happy to set it up. Friend of mine has a Ju Jitsu school we can use.
Nice demo. I would add most viewers are not trained fighters. If they try this they will be too slow (due to hesitancy) and inaccurate using the palm of hand (rather than larger forearm) for deflection (will miss the arm by 4 inches or so (‘ive seen it often in beginners). So advise to practice the move many times with a buddy. Thank you for your content.
Of course brother..I believe everything should be trained until it becomes ingrained in you. We have to keep it simple. And gross motor…but we still need to train it. Thanks for the kind words.
You are an EXCELLENT instructor, Michiel! As a quick side note, I've been looking at various political insights around the world. It looks like a good time for The Netherlands international courts to GREATLY increase their defensive capabilities using state-of-art, esoteric weapons systems. If you have a friend or contact who can look into this further, I now boldly, cordially ask you to do that. Would you, please?
Forty years of boxes (Savate, Muay, Panantukan, wing chun), 20 years of security, and the omnipresent question of survival combat, training methods, lead me to say that it takes unity in its practices. That modern methods and systems integrate emotional management to get closer to reality......simple things, the basics of these arts, the choice to puncture what suits you and especially, a unit, a common thread to organize his training......and this unit, this common thread is very often what is lacking in the so-called self-defense methods that combine techniques to the point of getting lost...
Thank you sir for giving us another gem💎 Sir could you make a video about how to deal with someone who stand in front of us with boxing stance, someone who already train some boxing.
No bullshit, no fancy crap, no fuckin around. Just straight up real street survival. Cheers from this US Combatives (under Matt Larsen, Colton Smith, Tim Kennedy)student! Love your vibe!! 👍👍👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙🤙
Awesome to hear coming from you! You are blessed to train with such legends! I hope to meet Tim Kennedy one day. Absolutely love that dude. Stay safe brother. Thanks for kind message. Hope to shake you hand one day.
Very similar to boxing. And when you back away instead of straight back to the angle, probably to the right that your right. I like looking at all different kind of stuff I used to box. I’m an old man now 59 lol.
I've been involved in Martial Arts for 20+ years now and then transitioned to Combatives after I realized that Combatives has a more efficient and realistic mentality. I say all of that to say that for me, Michiel and Lee are the best Instructors anywhere on the planet right now.
The instructor looks cool as an ice cube when fighting. Having said that, and while this instructor offers sound advice, I think that self-defense classes and dealing with different types of aggression should come in *addition* to sports like MMA/Muay Thai, etc. A strong fighting base is the rock upon self-defense should be built.
Thanks for the kind words. Combatives is the condensation of what is left over and works under real fight stress. Easy to install with a compressed tool box with gross motor skills. That’s said..I still want everyone to cross train and spar. Next to the stress testing and scenario training we do
@@schoolofselfprotection Very well said!!! Since I am in the USA, and cannot come to your school in person, do you think Muay Thai, would be the best base training to get started in self defense? Thank you for all the AWESOME RUclips training!!!
If they throw the right hand, you can lean into the right shoulder, cross block with your left and hit them with a straight right as well. Boxing can work in the street fight. I’ve had it happen a couple of times more than a couple. I’m born again now I’m a Christian so I don’t fight anymore. People start with me but I would hit them. I did not try to walk away.
Who are you? The disclaimer says I don't like violence. That is a fact. Tough guys like you see this as weakness. I don't care about wannabe tough people like you. Read the disclaimer again. Maybe you get it one day.
Awesowe to See real life footage. But I wonder, It looks like you hit with a closed fist instead of open palm strike. How comes? Cause you often teach about using palms. Was it a reflex? No hate, just curious...
I think it must be a slap/palm strike cause it is a street fight. If we finaly use the fist when the miment comes, why do not train for the fist rim the begening and stop to say fist is not good for street fight. I hope to have an answer for this point
@@schoolofselfprotectionThanks for the answer. I watch all your videos and I think you do a great job. I've been studying martial arts in a street fight concept for several years now and I practice as much as I can and I always like to learn and adjust. I think you used the fist in this situation because it's better suited to start with and be a 1st Strike in this distance because you can adjust the angle of strike with more freedom to give that blow between circular and straight. With a palm hand strike it is difficult to have circular and straight movement in the same time. And so with a slap you will lose this advantage of going forward towards the opponent, so you can miss the target or hit it with your fingers. I think the fist remains the best choice in a range between long and midium (to close distance or react to punches and grabbing tentatives). And for us as men, it's hard to resist using the fist for some psychological reasons... Personally, I like to use the right fist in some situations... I simply wanted to share my thoughts and learn more.

Probably one of the only self defence videos that show the technique being used by the instructor in real life. Bravo
Absolutely. Zero bullshit every time.
Thanks a lot!
Simplicity is the beauty of this technique. But the underlaying concept as explained and demonstrated is pure GOLD.
Not only did you manage to stay cool trying to de-escalate but delivered that amount of power under pressure to both of them, you can learn so much from just watching that few seconds, thanks a lot.

Love the intensity of this training.
The absolute best.

Best self protection drills on RUclips and always a super content to learn from.
Much appreciated! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
simplicity and energy, straight way to success...
The Dutch Maestro always explains everything so well, brilliant.
Very kind of you! Thank you!🙏🏻
Awesome video Michiel!! You are one of the best international instructors out there. Glad to be your fan and honored to be your student.
Glad to have you on board brother!
Excellent video. This is a more efficient gross motor skill version of Karate Soto Ude Uke block, or Pak Sao Wing Chun block. Thanks coach.
Simple and straightforward. I love it.
Thank you!
Bruhhhh this guy be giving you the moves and has the receipts to back it up 😂🔥💪 mad
Yea he the real van dam Steven Seagal🤣
🤣🤣 thanks!
Good stuff. Great to have actual footage of yourself applying the techniques for real!
Glad you liked it! Sometimes it’s caught in camera..unfortunately I need the stuff I teach on a regular basis. Thanks for appreciating!
Well taught. The techniques taught here and by this guy are absolutely correct for urban combat.... It's not like traditional dojo. I have belts.
The first day of military combat training you will get destroyed. It's completely different. Well taught.

Thank you for this, alot of instructors fail to teach this concept properly
Glad you appreciated!
Great job you done on those two bullies trying to bully their way into the premises 👍
They were attacking two girls previously! Thank you for the kind words
Simple direct and efficient. Principles much easier to remember than hundreds of techniques
My point! Thank you.🙏🏻
İ appreciate the directness of his teaching. No drawn out philosophy lecture. Just right to business.
Thank you!
Love your channel. Greetings from the US. Thanks for clear, succinct, practical self-defense techniques. Wish I could train in person with you all.
Thanks for watching and the appreciation 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Those thugs didn’t know they were messing with the beast! 🐺

Many thanks!
In 99.99% Cases, it's all about simplicity and straightforwardness!
Facts! 🙏🏻
Perfect speed and power.
Thank you for the lesson.
You are welcome!
You're an awesome instructor bro! No BS and I appreciate that.
Thank you!
Best street fighter out there, as someone who had a lot of street fights I wouldn't like to need to fight this guy, he's just too good
Best fight is an avoided fight right? You know it brother 🙏🏻
Trained guys usually dont start fights either.
Thanks a lot, Michiel! Realistic techniques, good pedagogy. As always, your clips are a pleasure to vieuw.

Many thanks! I appreciate you!

No fluffy stuff just activate the hate & boom & walk away! Salute 👍🇦🇺✊
Much appreciated!!
Hope, one day you come to Australia.
Subscribed at around 50.000. A clearly deserved 100.000 subs for thus channel!
Thanks for staying with the channel!
The second guy you put down certainly sat and reconsidered his options :)
Contemplating life choices I think. Play stupid games win stupid prices.
Very good and logical technique. More than one arm is the rule. If someone gets closer than that you have to react.

Thank you for this 🙏 I found it very useful and applicable. Hope you’re ok after that altercation
Probably the best real life self defence training you can find. To bad I don’t live in the Netherlands anymore.
Much appreciated!
Simple is effective. I like it.
Glad you like it!
Absolutely love your technique and teaching style.
Thanks so much!
Love the proof of real world efficacy.
Thank you!
On the footage when attacked are you working as a bouncer/security staff?

Hahahahah I asked him to film. He almost made it a adult movie 🤣
You guys are both incredible, Mike. Amazing work.
Easy patterns to practice on your own, or with a partner.
Thanks so much!

When i look at u and how u teach i know u was Fighting alot on street and in ur youth u was fighting alot ... U wasnt this guy ur whole life ❤❤❤
You get it brother. Thank you!

Always good content keeping it real
I appreciate you!
A great video and the real life example is very useful. It does have a certain level of distraction to it though 😅
That’s why we appreciate the invention of the yoga pants.
this is good info. thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
very realistic...
outstanding instructions
Thank you!
@@schoolofselfprotection thank to you.
I forgot many technique what I have learned in the army.
your videos are really great,direct and very useful .
@@alexbergmann2817 I appreciate that coming from one with a background as yours! Thanks sir!
Lovely skills
Michiel killing it again. Almost makes me wish i lived in Holland to train!
I appreciate you!!
Do you recommend a palm strike or slap as opposed to a punch to avoid hurting yourself in that situation?
Quality content as always

Thank you! Bas is a legend!
Is it a punch with the fist or palm?
Real fight 👍👍👍
It would be so easy for her to digitize you into individual bits of data!!
She's so cool
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dank je!
You hit open hand or fist?
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome😄
Is it possible for a smaller person to get out of a Single Lapel Grab without punching??
Thanks for the good channel 👍
Sure, you can defend against it with a kick in the balls
Yes! The element of surprise and use of nails employed in an ballistic way is sometimes available. Knee to the groin has some effect too!
