The most honest talk on senior self defense that I have ever heard. I have studied seven different martial arts.

Chuck Hodges says:

I specialize in teaching the cane and pocket stick to seniors and folks with disabilities and find this video instructions great and straight forward with no nonsense. It's really refreshing to find someone to speak the truth about seniors and self defense. There are many seniors or folks with disabilities that just cannot perform such tasks and the best thing to say and do is just be truthful and kind to those whom cannot perform defense tactics it's not an easy subject to teach or discuss sometimes. But it remains of the up most importance for for us seniors and those with disabilities to be safe from harm period.

National Advocate says:

Unlike other videos.done by so called "experts" This man is telling the reality of real life situations .I am a senior and volunteer for seniors.

John Galonska says:

Funny video. I think that this is geared many for fishing for clicks while actual useful info it's not.

The best self defense video I have seen here on youtube. Most of the stuff shown will not work.
If I were to follow youtube self defense I would see what more this guy has to say.

I am 71. Studied seven self defense styles over the years and am as fit as almost anyone my age. Without a weapon I could not defend myself against some aggressive attacks.

Jonvolca Man says:

If you are senior and live alone you must keep your surroundings well lit. Install at least one security camera (or a fake one to discourage intruders). Also sleep with a weapon at arms reach at all times. Motion detectors in your home could alert you of intruders before they get to you. This is not paranoia. This is common sense safety.

Great advice, Stephan! I've heard you gain 10 pounds for every Dan rank. Not! I want to be the old man that's on the ground restraining my young attacker, and when the police arrive, he says, "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!"

Linda Beebe says:

Cool. That’s great. My knees are shot, my rotator cuffs cause flare ups from old injuries and my arthritic hands hurt when gripped.
How and what can I practice while not causing more pain and injury. Give us five moves that fragile older adults can put into muscle memory. I’m sure adrenaline will allow me to perform painful stuff in the moment but we can’t force ourselves into painful pretend situations to practice. Help!!!

Stephen Shearer says:

I trained with many elder oriental gentlemen and they were examples of exactly what you are talking about I wouldn't want to fight any of them on the street .

Jakob W says:

Great post. Sound advice. Kudos for having a REAL BLACKBOARD and CHALK! 🙂

Garrett Smith says:

If you can legally do so I think the best defense is carrying a gun especially for older people.

Docinaplane says:

Very good advice, Stephen!! There are three stages in life. Youth – Adult- and Gee you look good! Don't f–k with the person in the third stage.

Kasey Petruk says:

it reminds me of what i heard dean lister say about how more people are hurt from falling than anything else in a fight and i think that rings true

Dragan Dangubić says:

Thanks for the video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you considered – Chireetler Dread Free Rule (do a google search)? It is an awesome exclusive product for learning self effective defence moves minus the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my best friend Jordan at very last got astronomical success with it.
