pretty tight, funny, I spent my day getting hip tossed and sparring myself.
Not looking to get cross punched anytime soon though.

Destinee, Great stuff. Thanks for sharing!

ArtisanTony says:

Nice! :)

Red Beard Tactical says:

I’m a shin kicker. Punches are too easy to miss and sometimes people take
punches well, but nobody likes getting whacked in the shin.

That’s pretty good. But, I’ve been in martial arts for over 20 years.
There is a fast and more efficient way to cold-cock someone and knock them
out cold. All you have to do is clock them across their carotid artery on
their neck. It disrupts blood flow to the brain and drops them like a
fly. Video proof here: Black Pimp VS Karate Instructor

this is one of the coolest videos you have done in a while

smilemoney says:

One of the few non-experts I think you are doing the right thing learning
these skills to assist you with self defense. In addition I was impressed
with the apparent power being delivered.

AmoebicMagicMan says:

this is great!

laztek1 says:

I spent 13 years learning how to fight. Some of my fav times where spent
training. My personal fav is thumb in the eye and headbutt to the nose or
kick to the groins or kick to the knee. That last few seconds made me so
freaking hyped !! I hope you have as much fun as I did when I could fight
good. Awesome things will be learned if you are kinda new.

Still, even the hardest or fastest puncher in the world is no match for for
a loaded pistol in a decent calibre :-)

Alessio B. says:

WOW this is cool! I’d like to see more vids like this, keep ’em coming,
pleeeease :]

Answering your question: with a knife, a stool, a chain, a road sign…
whatever xD
I prefer to always have an advantage on my opponent. If I use only my bare
hands it means
1: that my situation awareness sucked.
2: everything else failed.
3: I don’t consider my opponent a real threat and I’m just playing with
him.

ClockCutter says:

Nice video. You are definitely a good enough puncher to generate enough
force to break your hand when you make contact with someone’s jaw bone or
cheek bone with that right straight.

Reverse psychology is first and if that don’t work…. RUN !!!! lol.

Chip Mautz says:

I love TKD. Used to take Tang Soo Do. Miss that art! May have to start
back up… How do you like the Hapkido? Is your style still ‘traditional’
or have they bjj-ized it? Btw, I’m an orange belt in Ed Parker style
Kenpo. But really I’m an eternal White Belt… :-)

Nice video, but snap punches do not work in real life situations… Be
careful of techniques used for competition fights, they mostly do not work
in the real world.
By the way what martial arts is that you are doing?

Toby McCoy says:

I’ve always heard to punch through the object You are trying to hit, yet
someone is teaching You the complete opposite…Strange…Thanks for
contributing your opinions to the discussion, and thanks for tuning in ;]
Beat Ya to it…lol

Drew says:

What about your leg? I’ve always believed a strong punch comes from linking
your target to the ground, so to speak. I concentrate on using my glute and
calf. 

rick breting says:

Is there anything you can’t do?

Papa Bravo says:

One major point that needs to be made is that you never want to make
contact at the end of your reach, you always want some bend in the elbow as
you make contact. The most force is imparted with about 3-6″ of travel
left in your punch. The idea of the snap in the punch is to emphasize
speed, and to keep you from over extending so that you are ready for the
next strike, not to actually add impact to the current punch. However, by
putting a twist into the punch, by bringing your elbow to shoulder height
and rotating your fist inboard as you throw it, you add leverage and speed
to the punch. Punches should never come one at a time. Its usually the
second or third strike that does the most damage. Even if only one is
necessary, it is easier to already be throwing an unnecessary second and
third strike than to need another and have to restart your sequence. Plus
every strike should better put your body in position for the next strike.
Every good punch starts with the feet.

Note: in most self defense situations it is not recommended to use any
closed fist punches, as they are likely to end with you breaking one of
your weapons, your hand. If you have to use a close fist, hammer strikes
are the preferred method, with the meaty part of your hand, between the
pinky and wrist being the part that makes contact. Open palm techniques
are also very effective, using the meaty portion of your palm, fingers
curled in and thumb tight to the side of the bent index finger. You don’t
want to leave any fingers extended as they will get broken if they get bent
backwards, again rendering one of your weapons useless.

Great video Destinee! Your technique is very, very solid. If I were your
“trainer” I would just make one adjustment. At the end of your punch you
really don’t want to “snap it.” Instead I would have you “stick it.” When
you “stick it” you gain maximum energy transfer to your opponent. Picture
your punch going through someone using a sort-of follow through while
maintaining proper fighting posture. I know I’m making it sound harder
than it is. It really is just a minor adjustment BUT critically important
to win a fight not governed by amateur boxing rules ie a street fight or a
boxing/mma match with professional rules/equipment. Please don’t take this
as a criticism Destinee, just a correction I would make. I personally
think you are one of the best young gun/self-defense experts on Youtube.
Keep up the great work and excellent videos. 

Ivan Layton says:

May i ask, what style?

Sam Hade says:

Okay, I am a fan now. Your gun vids are good. I have a few years
kickboxing (and more years BJJ) experience, and I can see your striking
technique is very good. Keep up the great work. I will show this to my
daughter.

PIe Man says:

You Go Girl glade to see you don’t ever stop 🙂
I hope the follow-up is a knee to the groin Lol 

hundvonulster says:

nice stuff!! I wouldn’t mind, if you would share with us some more of these
things in future ;-)!!

Donald Stratford says:

You are a boss :). Nice hands

SurviveTribe says:

Your are very beautiful

TherealElliot says:

Nice video there 🙂
If I may in would suggest that you cover practicing breaking an attackers
grip. In my experiences the first indication that a person who is being
attacked by surprise has, it when they find themselves held by their
attacker.
This varies greatly between the sizes and sexes of both the attacker and
the person being attacked, for example a large male attacking a smaller
female will usually try to physically lift the female from behind, with one
or both arms around the females waist, if the female is closer to or larger
than the male attacker, then they will usually grab the hair or go for a
arm around the neck strangle hold (then carry/drag them to a different
location, such as a dark ally or waiting vehicle.)
Either way it is essential the person being attacked a) knows what is
happening to them and b) knows how to counter both attacks.
It may sound daft but unless you have been grabbed from behind beforehand,
most people will not recognize the unfamiliar physical sensations,
especially in the event of a surprise attack, this can result in a sort of
surprised paralysis of a few vital seconds just when they should be
fighting back.
I believe one of the best way to counter the unfamiliar surprise phenomenon
is to experience it in some form beforehand, this is most easily achieved
by either specific self defence training involving being grab from behind,
or participation in activities such as wrestling or judo that will
familiarise yourself with the unfamiliar sensations, and teach you how to
counter such holds.
