I was close to unsubscribing from this channel, and then this video came out and changed my mind. I guess I'm gonna stick around. Very great job discussing topics with simple, direct points. Can't wait for the next one!
Great vid Stephan. I agree on fighting fitness but re beer guts…. Erik Paulson is a chunky monkey these days but I'm sure he can still rip your limbs off!! :)
Stephan, I noticed that when you throw your elbows, you have clenched/nearly clenched fists. When your fist is clenched, the striking area of you elbows/forearms has a lot of muscle in the way to cushion your blows. Have you thought about blading your hands? It separates those muscle groups so you are striking almost bone on bone, with greater impact because of it. Just a thought.
Also punching to the face is a good way to have your knuckles cut open on someone's teeth. So if you have to, by all means, just get your cuts dealt with at a doctors/hospital asap. You don't know what diseases the other fighter had that you may now have.
The difference between police wristlocking someone and using it in self defence is massive. The police aren't trying to cause damage, they are using it as pain compliance. In self defence it's "grab, wrench/snap, release, retreat".
Awesome video. Thank you Stephan! I'm spreading the word to my BJJ mates about your e-mailing list and videos, they love it as well! Greetings from Spain.

54:36 … Hilarious and a very good advice. You should avoid people in their underwear with swords XD.
I was hoping you were going to give some examples of good judo instructionals
always love your video. THX!
