****THANKS **** GOOD VIDEO*****

Robert Martin says:

Nicely done videos. great public service thanx for posting. 

LadyXxXMadonnaXxX says:

Really great videos, thanks for uploading these. If you could, could you
show us how to get out of a situation if we were attacked from behind? 

Sabby Su says:

Great video on how to defend yourself from an attacker that is trying to
choke you on the ground.

Menaka K says:

Why wouldn’t he just shove her feet/legs off and fight harder for control
(ie. become more forceful and aggressive)? Also, especially in cases of
premeditated rape, the guy is NOT backing down or off his victim. 

bloodpressurenotgood says:

everyone giving their opinion on the situation. dont think too hard on self
defense techniques. theyre not set in stone just as each situation is not.
each one has their good points. if anything people, just take this videos
advice of utilizing the feet and or knees on the hips to keep their
attackers full weight off them. but yeah if this is a rape scenario things
would probably get real violent on numerous levels and hed just get it
while its still warm while shes dyin or dead… this is one of the good
vids out there. good job keep it up.

Rachel Roy says:

i freeze up and become more compliant because i’m afraid to piss someone
off and be tortured. my mom says it would be better to die fighting and i
think she’s right it’s just frightening because if you lose they’ll really
want to make you pay. I am the type to be super scared and act debilitated
then run or fight back when they least expect it…assuming i don’t already
have a head injury

lawyernurse says:

This appears to be a decent technique, as far as it goes. However, my first
thought when watching this is that if the guy got “frustrated” he likely
wouldn’t go for the choke, at least not initially. He would be more likely
to throw a few punches to the face first, then go for the choke after his
victim is stunned or unconscious. At which point, the technique doesn’t do
much good. To really be effective in this position, you need to be able to
defend against hands (and/or whatever weapon they may be holding) first.

Amazing teachings!

Mike Davis says:

I hope any women watching this video will realize it’s TOTAL BS!! This
technique is less than worthless. Pounding your butt on the ground will NOT
get this guy off your throat. PLEASE GET REAL TRAINING!! This video is a
JOKE!

arubyskye says:

That’s what I figured. Still, any knowledge is better than no knowledge so
thanks for the advice!

PacShore says:

Great job with breaking down and explaining the technique and the
importance of working the technique slow before going full on with it!!

r2Kd0ugernaut says:

@bono lynch this is true, if you hold your guard while he/she Is picking
you up. from level 3 army combatives its easy to to think of a thousand
possibilities, and that’s why you roll. there’s just too many to fully
argue anything, but it would make sense.

bono Lynch says:

full guard would result in a killer body slam for a small 120 lb girl sorry
man, i was in a class learning this too from a black belt who trained under
the gracie family and this was taught there too

Shniggit says:

You have to learn to walk before you learn to run. In order to get good at
beating multiple attackers, you need to first get good at beating one
attacker. If you can’t beat one, then you’re lost from the start. That’s
why all videos show one attacker. Master disabling one attacker quickly
before the next one can attack. Then, you’ve got a decent chance at
fighting two. (cont)

Shniggit says:

Well said! This guy clearly knows nothing about grappling and is exploiting
poor women who don’t know any better than to trust him. It’s the blind
leading the blind here.

Shniggit says:

That said, funneling is crucial if you need to fight multiple opponents.
Basically funneling means to circle to the outside of whatever opponent you
are engaging so that the other attackers must get past him to get to you.
That way you are never surrounded and are using distance and evasive
maneuvers to force your attackers into a funnel so you can fight one at a
time. It’s simple but effective.

Shniggit says:

Good point. Too bad this poor fellow apparently never learned any real
grappling, yet is trying to teach his ineffective moves to people too
inexperienced to know any better.

Shniggit says:

The sad part is that he is teaching this BS to girls who don’t know any
better. Quit wasting your time with this crap and learn BJJ. That is a
proven system that works. This BS is just a waste of time. Not only would
girls who use this get raped, but even bigger stronger guys who used these
moves against other guys would lose. Any grappling technique should be used
effectively many times in live competition before anyone even considers it
perhaps being worthy of being taught to another person.

Josh Campbell says:

I want to practice that with my girlfriend oooohhh yaaa

ijigne gorya says:

NICE

James bond says:

Copy of Selena gomez

SwedishGrammarPolice says:

Running away > Krav Maga > any of the thousands of bullshit fighting
systems there is.

Button Nose says:

please make a video if the victim has her/his hands pinned down

Liam Shortell says:

When in the position to kick, is it a better idea to use the rapid, smaller
kicks that the woman demonstrating does or would it work to go for more
focused kicks to weak points? I know those are not her legitimate kicks,
but I’m not sure if their intent is to illustrate repeated kicks or just
the idea of kicking the attacker.

imalivetwentyfive says:

What happens if there’s a headboard, a wall something blocking your way out
when you push yourself or the attacker away? I love that you’re sharing
these techniques.

FightNY says:

This times a million. Close the guard, and use your hips and hands to keep
the person away. They won’t be able to effectively choke, and if they
continue to try, arm bar city and since it’s self defense, you bridge until
that arm snaps. Hopefully you shouldn’t be in guard on the street though,
but shit happens.

bendoodlebrooks says:

Thank you for sharing!

FightNY says:

No style can guarantee success against multiple people. The best thing to
do is comply with them (give them wallet etc.) and if they continue the
assault turtle up, cover your head / neck and go fetal position until it
stops. The best defense is to run, so if you’d like to learn something,
take up parkour / freerunning.

Dany McJackson says:

this is pure crap…anyway let’s say that she get out from choke and starts
to kick, the guy obviously will say “i’m sorry, i didn’t know you have
jiujitsu knoledge, i’ll walk away now” :))))

Hg The Bass says:

That’s always something that’s really difficult to deal with.

silentiumestaureum93 says:

Carry a gun!! END!!!

Suppa .Green says:

Thank you ! Very helpful .

r2Kd0ugernaut says:

if she had you in a full guard wouldnt she be able you put you far enough
away from her that a choke wouldnt really be effective?

Acousticnoiseuk says:

Very helpful. Not just for women. Thanks guys.

kristymendez87km says:

This turn me on hahahhahahahh

Saiga762x39mm AK47 says:

lmao, you’re a retard. homemade bombs, haha. shuriken, almost as funny. and
yes dumbass, you have to prove that you’re being attacked in Castle
Doctrine states, otherwise idiots will go around shooting people, claiming
that they were being attacked. are you fucking serious with these
arguments? i’m betting that you’re around 14 years old. what state do you
have a firearm permit for? stop lying, please.

Saiga762x39mm AK47 says:

stop lying, you can’t fight. you just slap fight, thinking it’s real in
your bullshit Wing Chun and JKD.

ch bu says:

This is a very good technique. A variation could involve, at 5:39, her
placing both legs over the top of his arms (one at a time) and pushing down
on his elbows, slapping his ears or pushing her thumbs in his eyes and
using the distraction to get up and run.
