OneSelfDefense says:

True, this is a birth defect. Sorry, no interesting story about ninjas
chopping something off.

GigglepunchSC2 says:

Don’t say “birth defect”, say “Next generation genetic mutation”

Max Cheng says:

After all those criteria, I was thinking, the only possible technique would
be the palm strike. And at 7:05 I had a huge smile on my face. I’m a
martial art/self-defense instructor myself, and what you mentioned and
showed in this video pretty covered everything about the technique and
beyond. Great explanation and useful insights, I learned quite a few things
from it. Thanks for sharing!

OneSelfDefense says:

Then you do something else. This is only one possible technique.

dobages says:

He has four fingers!

david thompson says:

Palm strikes is one of the best thing in self defense.

shas1814 says:

If your opponent is too far away to reach, you are not under attack. Pick
up your Nikes and leave the area!

Splint says:

do you teach piano as well

H.J, Kelley says:

Can’t you watch this and assume for yourself that the person had a injury
or a birth defect without asking? Are y’all just that callous, or stupid…

Victoria Jimenez says:

I’ve watched this whole video and only noticed at the end of the video
about your 4 fingers and no hand

Larry Bobbert says:

Thanks! Just discovered your video. With 25 years of Martial arts
experience I recently started NoNonsense Self Defense for Teens and
PreTeens for the reasons you explained nicely in your list. Thanks. Think I
will adopt your list as a substitute for my current explanation. Many of my
students have suffered from bullies, so I want them to have something
simple, easy to learn with no thinking about technique. The first technique
is always “hands in face” so your open palm works. Thanks!

gluecement says:

Run!

Coj0nes01 says:

When I saw your list of criteria for the #1 Self Defense Technique , I
instantly thought , ” RUN ! ” Great video , interesting techniques , thank
you .

guyontheblackchair says:

That’s better than having 9 5/6 fingers (“SKIL”saw).

Lisa McQuade says:

Guys…I was more interested in what this gentleman has to say…. John,
well thought out…thank you ….keep up the good work!

Joanne Ritter says:

Thanks! Good to know.

Adam Soh says:

Thank you, this is very informative. 🙂 I hope that i won’t ever have to
use it. But if i have to, i’ll have you to thank.

planetofthescums says:

I wouldn’t necessarily call it a defect.

alex white says:

Lol 10:47

William Young says:

I agree with the channel host. I do have to admit I have no training in
self defense or in martial arts. I must say however, most attacks commonly
around my neighborhood (Philadelphia area) do not attack with trajectory
weapons. IE guns, slingshots, and ballistics. If you can not reach your
opponent chances are he can not reach you. If he cannot reach you you have
an opening to run. However, if you are facing an armed assailant I would
have to say that giving in to your attacker. Great videos!

Frost Proof says:

Reminds me of TMNT kinda haha he could be boss?? dunno didn’t even watch
video. Also less knuckles to break I think haha not a bad deal.

Kev H says:

I meant the opponents head

Peter Wilcox says:

John, I really like your no nonsense, instruction.

tronny94 says:

poor bob

jack warner says:

john is right groin shots dose not work.go for a knee.when you factor in
pain tolerence fight or flight.and they expect it.it just dose not work

iluvhotgirlsman says:

and ty for this video totaly helpful

jack warner says:

so you delete any comment that dosent praise you

George Washington says:

Did you not realize that we do not care about something like that? This is
a video on information not birth defect. You are so immature please step
off of the information side of the internet and go back to cat videos.

Dont read this, GET BACK TO THE VIDEO!!! says:

one dislike……ironic 🙂

Manwe Sulimo says:

Just a note: open palm “punching” is far less likely to injure your hands
in any way.

Daniel Chavez says:

what’s with this dudes hand, three fingers?

Brenda Burney says:

My fiance came up behind me to give me a hug. I whirled around and palm
struck him in the eye. I’m 5’6 and 130 pounds. He’s 6’1 and 250+ pounds. I
incapacitated him for several minutes. I felt really bad. He learned that
the self defense he’d been teaching me and become a little too ingrained…

planetofthescums says:

I thought you were going to pull out a gun. Point 6. Effectiveness should
not diminish greatly in poor terrain. Point 8. Ability to control level of
defense. (this would take the gun out)

ROHIT NADDA says:

awesome sir respect

MeMa CaCa says:

Thank you for this sir! Worth watching. I am learning!!! XD

TheBdemba16 says:

You are absolutely correct when it comes to punching. You know, the reason
why I’m watching this video is because I got into an argument with a guy
that had WAYYY to much to drink. And with a guy like that, you simply
cannot defend yourself, because he will keep on coming back. There’s got to
be a way to put him down so he stops attacking.

Sonam Scoggins says:

did nobody else realize he only have four fingers on one of his hands?…

Dexter8x says:

The whole time I though it was RIP HIS EYES OUT used it before…seems to
work

skullgarland says:

Great advice, simple and effective, nothing too fancy. The more complicated
the technique, the harder it is to excecute it correctly.

Zahir M.S.I. says:

TL:DL

stompySharpNpointy says:

a palm strike to the chest that slides up tot the neck is good as well

stefano spadino says:

Palm the groin man!!!

TvvinkleToes says:

I’d feel uncomfortable palm striking a man in the groin..

john klebtz says:

what a bunch of pussys they couldnt even throw down… hahahahah you come
with that shit to me and my boys there not gonna be any sucker punches your
just gonna get laid the fuck out…stand up for yourself and fight like a
man you fucking punk ass pussies

Eric Montford says:

I’ve now watched several of your videos and from everything you are saying
and everything you are teaching and showing….. Why oh why are there so
many viewers who are fixated on your hands!?! My old Sifu’s Sifu was blind
(was active duty police and shot point blank in the face) It had no bearing
on what he or his students taught. *sigh*

Emmett Ling says:

Like for “commando killer self defense techniques.”

awesome1001ful says:

It was an ok video however he only taught us the palm strike….. In 15
min. That would only take about 5.

Josh Henricksen says:

That would be my man vs man concern where the risk could be one of those
guys tought the dangerouse techniques you mentioned.Girls I believe in most
cases can get very much from this because they can use surprise, an
attacker can close the distance for them because they arn’t concerned as
much about danger and will reach for things. Thats my mindset at this point
in life, didn’t want to simply say great video without constructive reason
and insight into anothers thoughts that may reflect others.
