The part where you pulled the gun, since you asked, I don't think you really could have done anything different, there's part of me that says that maybe that's one of the times where "just run" might be valid advice but honestly I don't know.
OMG, Icy Mike got smoked by a girl and the video wasn't XXX. Thank God, I don't need to see wee man's fire crotch. Haha! Fascinating training, that looks intense- which is fantastic. Definitely better than buying some Gucci Glock to brag about on insta.
To be honest I dont thing the guy with the gun would let you do such fast movement twice, I mean its possible you face someone who dont want to kill you, he can have even fake gun, not every robber is killer, but would you risk it? I mean that guy with gun just sitting there like sissy in complete submisive position while you swinging violently around him, and then you also holding his gun pointed to your thigh barely miss you as he shoot 🤦🏻♂️ highly unrealistic “movie stuff” right there… And then that “woman” 😭 maaan I was looking focused to find anything femine about that persone but I havent, are you sure its not guy that identify him self as woman? Even “his” hands were mans🤦🏻♂️😅
This mostly comes from a HEMA background, but interestingly, often the best medieval weapons for women to use are the largest ones. Longswords, spear, halberds, etc… Turns out being slightly taller on average gives most men very little benefit when the opponent still has better reach and can take you out with one good hit. And yes, guns also have pretty good reach. Turns out guns are pretty good weapons.
PS: I suppose bringing up height when Mike is involved might be a bit unfair.
You'd benefit by learning wrestle-ups and basic folkstyle bottom escapes, you planted your head into the ground and drove your hips up when she had a chest wrap, that's asking for a pile driver. Put yourself in the same position and slightly kick up with your legs, you almost do a somersault, that's how unstable that position is. Having a guard "you shall not pass" is important, but you don't wanna shrimp and regain guard as much as using folkstyle reversals and escapes, just my opinion, my expertise is not self-defense. Thanks for the video!
You're the size of an average middle schooler, so it doesn't mean much for you to get beat up by a girl. If Seth got dropped on his head by a girl, that'd be pretty embarrassing, though.
You should be embarrassed if you get beaten up by a girl… If you're a high level professional male MMA fighter or something similar. For everyone else, there are women out there that can beat you up, and that's nothing to be embarrassed about. Asia sounds like a badass, no embarassment in getting beat up by a badass
The thing is that there are too many variables sometimes it's just decision making nothing more. De-escalation is a thing but so is intimidation. You can be an ex special forces, mma fighter, cop, etc. you're still gonna struggle because the situations are gonna be different every time with different ways of getting out of that situation. I think the biggest things are gonna be getting reps in so you can see you tendencies and adjust for them and understanding/adjusting your mind to be able to rapidly switch modes as that environment changes
You raise some excellent points. I reccomend training for the role you intend. "Dirty citizen", i.e one who ready to defend and employ various methodologies and weapons in securing their and 3rd parties safeties. Instructiors referencing local & State laws are important secondary to liablity and realizing no one is above the law. For Corrections and L.E. crowd, again diffierent goals will guide their training because they cannot disarm an attacker and run away and report the incident when safe. They must intercede, secure the scene and any evidence keeping themselves, partners and citizentry all safe in the process. Force on force training defitnitely brings a hard reality of what will and won't work, your actual capabilities with minimal, limited injuries which is great. Instructors like yourself and shivworks instructor are helping our communties be better prepared physically, mentally so thank you for platforming this topic.
12:41 misogyny is pretty much hatred towards women. Not sure how mocking a guy for losing a fight could count as misogyny. Quite the opposite actually, since a lot of feminists love to mock men for not being masculine enough or something.
You said you were involved in over 200 uses of force while a police officer. How long did you work as a police officer? Is this a normal incident count? Average? Above average?

Ask yourself. "BDIWITS?" BD-WITS?

Great info. Badass training

It’s ok to be a misogynist as long as you’re also a misandrist.

Mike, didn't you mean sexism or something?
Pretty good actor NGL
Man, we just had a very sad and brutal murder/suicide here on Oahu. So this video really hits home
Reminds me when chuck Norris had a kicking jeans ad in black belt magazine 😂
You got beat up by a girl … who’s a badass fighter and who could probably beat up most of the dudes on these comments
I must train with Craig Douglas someday! Serious, I've seen his seminars on this channel a couple times, and it seems about as legit as possible.
3:52 evil Mike😨
