Do NOT Create Distance in Self Defense | Concealed Carry Techniques and Tactics | CCW
“Create distance” is often the cry of those who haven’t really spent a lot of time thinking about or actually training in the defensive use of their handgun in realistic scenarios.

As a NON sport jiu jitsu practitioner you should know it's not about "create space" as it is "CONTROL THE DISTANCE"….You're far away when you want to be…up close when you need to be. Both Standing and on the ground…and every range in between. Usually the opposite of when your opponent / attacker does.
You always want to be at a distance at which you can injure your enemy without them being able to injure you. It rarely (say: never) works out exactly that way, but it's a good guideline to determine if you want to close or create distance. Obviously, being 6'4" tall, I like long distance hand to hand, while you would prefer to close against me so I can't create as much momentum with my punches and kicks and keep you at a distance where you can't really follow through with attacks without provoking punishing counterattacks. Living in Germany, guns aren't exactly something I have to watch out for in a 'standard' self defense situation (no such thing as a standard self defense situation but I think you know what I mean), though knife attacks have become a fad recently (Würzburg last week and a few days later Erfurt, total of 5 people killed and ~15 injured), to which I must say I am still not comfortable instructing knife defence (probably never will be)
I hear you namedrop Active Self Protection and two fantasies popped immediately: 1) Collab with John Correia 2) You watching footage like John and totally dissing the people involved.
Stay away from large Democrat run cities if you value your safety. They let violent criminals out and lock up law abiding people that practice self defense.
Guy escaped from shooter although he was hit by seven bullets. Shooters getaway driver left and shooter was caught by police. Had he been closer shooter could have made easier fatal shot.
Anyone prefacing what they'd with "just", "I'll just push them", "I'll just do X", "I'll just do Y", isn't thinking realistically. There is no "just" in a fight, you've got a live human opponent, nothing is gonna be easy.

The thumbnail be like “you shot me in the dick” “oh shit, I shot him in the dick”

I feel like you did that kick off of the wall incorrectly. I believe screaming showtime while doing it is required to be effective.

Like the new pfp
"Creating distance is dumb." People who have actually seen combat: 🤔 aight…bye.
Serpentine!!
LOL biting the bat off him!!
Love the defense against the bludgeoning device
from now on I always imagine you saying "bouyouka bouyouka" when you draw the practice gun
4:20 is one of the greatest sequences I've seen in my life
oh yes you are americans, we talk guns now.
it was so necessary.
close quarters might work for average height but tall dudes need different fight distances.
