The idea is essentially this, (I'm unsolicitedly answering for Kevin GOAT, I hope he doesn't mind LOL ) When you train a technique, whether it be a strike, block, counter, knee, kick and and and... if you expect to be able to pull it off in a actual combat situation, one must train that specific technique over and over and over until it becomes instinctive reflex vs a thought or plan. What you train is important but how you train is equally important. Let's take a hard technique like a punch. To maximize efficacy of that strike you must first train the mechanics of the strike, this is to insure you are executing the strike with proper mechanics ( shoulders down, elbows in, proper fist etc.) Once you have gotten a solid understanding of the mechanics and you've practiced said punch enough to execute it with a level of proficiency, you should practice with resistance, I prefer heavy bags for this. Then you train the hell out of that technique on a heavy bag. After massive repetitions on a bag you should be able to pull that technique off under the stress of combat. It is also greatly beneficial if you can utilize that technique in a drill like the countering video and fighting drills .. That video is essentially Kevin and his student/fellow instructor doing a countering drill. And guess what makes that work in actual combat.. if you guessed a lot of repetitions of countering drills and actual fighting drills you'd be correct. Anyway that's my take on it.

@@jsinclair3333 Those are good points, but the video talks about a "shortcut" and not putting in as much work. And the right shortcut in that situation is to learn to defuse a situation or run away from confrontation. Getting in striking distance thinking you are not gonna get hit in return because of a few techniques you have seen online is a good way to end up badly injured or worst. His lesson seems to be "don't get hit by striking first". It's all well and good until you are fighting someone with basic fighting experience. Maybe we don't have the same experience but, the first few sparring sessions I did, I realized that my eyes would instinctively close as soon as a punch came my way. Plus, no matter how many times I hit the bags or rehearsed moves with partners, trying to hit a moving target who's also trying to dodge, grab or hit you back is a whole other game. I don't see how someone can learn to react appropriately without having that experience. But my main point was: if your plan is to not get hit, you are not planning for what's almost certainly going to happen. I think you need to be able to take a few hits without getting fazed or showing if you've been hurt.

@@fredbyoutubing You are correct, I rewatched the video and he does mention shortcuts, I'd have to say his message is a little mixed, respectfully. I do really like Kevin Goat's approach most of the time he's pretty real world without much fluff. Having said that, the reality is there really are no shortcuts or "hacks" some techniques require less skill than others but countering strikes is not a low skill exercise and would probably cause a inexperienced martial artist to get tuned up if they engaged with a adversary that had intent to harm and minimal skill set .. If had to train someone to be proficient for self defense and had to do it quick, I would focus on the students guard stance, Focusing on the person keeping their hands up in a strong guard so they are predisposed to block incoming strikes. Then footwork and stance that kept them in strong position to deliver powerful strikes. I would focus on aggressive offensive strikes and kicks.. The other thing I would instill is that you won't win a fight by being defensive. Once you know it's going down there is a tactical disadvantage to allowing the opponent to make the first move.. Leave if you can but if you can't go on offence.. Defensive techniques require a higher level of skill and situational awareness. Once a person learns basics like blocking and striking and proper application of both, then you can move on to counter attacking. It is also very necessary to expose students to actual fighting, for our purposes we would call it a hyper aggressive, semi controlled version of sparring with a focus on aggressive engagement and follow thru. Anyway best wishes to all!!

@@jsinclair3333 I agree with everything you just said. You'd make a better coach than most (If you aren't already one). The only thing I'd add is that if you are serious about learning to fight, you should get physically fit. Not jacked necessarily, but have good cardio and endurance. I've seen many gym bros coming to a fighting class thinking it would be easy and getting severely humbled by smaller guys. Mainly because they gas out quick and can't take a leg kick.

THAT is the idea from fighting from the OUTSIDE. This guy is right on with that point. At some point your attacker will close on you and 'taking' a hit may be out of the question. This is not glove fighting. ALWAYS move to the outside. It fits into ANY defensive style of fighting.......you never know what someone may actually have in their hand in a street fight. Prevent a clinch ? He can't do it if you are on the outside.......plus you may get a chance to run.

Stay tuned for future videos so that you can train at home

Don't feel bad I have 2 within 10 miles, but with my work schedule nothing works for me.

@@Selfdefensegoat; yes!!!

Really an hour is not too bad. I use to live about an hour, hour and 20 minutes away from my training. Did it 2-3X per week for 7 years.

@@moneyfornothing3264 both are 13 and up. I'm not training with kids.

🫸🏼🤛🏼

Also: slip a straight; roll under a hook (or haymaker). Only ever fight if you have to. Anything can happen.

Thanks for watching

Best lesson to learn IMO

"always have your shoes tied"

@@vincentlafranchi8409If you’re in a situation where a fight is inevitable throw the first punch. Huge advantage.

@@TravisMcGee151 , if ya miss.., best to have ypur shoes tied

😲​@vincentlafranchi8409 😲 for 😲 a 😲 long 😭 time 😲😲😲😲😭😲😭😭

100% agree. Sparring or spending time in the ring is the most effective to “battle test” and discard.

Not much mma here, looks like all wing chun. Pak sau, double jut sau on the haymaker. using chum kiu stance punch... Focusing on palm strikes to the face. Where do you see an mma approach?

Awesome thanks so much for sharing

I strongly advise to take either boxing or wrestling for a year. Then return to Krav. You will thank me.

@@isaacortiz738 in my club we have four 1h30 lessons per week with wrestling/BJJ one entire lesson and boxing time (practice and fights) in every other lessons. Monday is women’s only, more centered on self defense, Tuesday is for ground work, Wednesday and Friday for krav. 😉

Much harder to duck a body blow. In siu nim tao, after a pak sau from the outside and on stage one of the dummy a wing chun practitioner is taught to double pak/sizzor hands to the kidneys/ribs. Stage one siu nim tao is often confused with a face palm strike after pak sau with this concept when actually it's a form of defence against grappling, not a punch. Slight variation of timing and understanding.

Not one kick maybe because that would be an offensive move. I believe the best defense is a strong offense.

@@jeffmallinger3697 sure, once you control the situation. You can be as offensive as you want in making sure your attacker is no longer a threat. But what Vee Arnis Jitsu teaches is that it is best to start in a non threatening manner.

Agreed

🙏

I mean as a LH fighter, not against one. But both are useful.

Yes,reach must make a difference.

Thanks so much

I agree! as per my comment, this is a very vague example, of how to get your ass kicked. I notice the author of this video has given a reply of some kind to everybodys response, except for those that critique his video....Martial arts instructor here myself. Peace

@@dannydoughboy120 The instructors' ego is the student's biggest enemy

@@rodvan-zeller6360 Right you are rodvan...That was one of the reasons I got out of it....There are not many left of the old style studio's where ego is clipped in the bud right when it starts. It's a new generation of young punks now.

@@dannydoughboy120 Thank you for the reply.

@@rodvan-zeller6360 you're welcome.

Got to learn to hold your ground then

@@Selfdefensegoat Exactly.

Soooo many options

@@Selfdefensegoat True, It just feel little bit more in the spirit of self defense to shorted it, but yeah I am nick-picking details in this point.

Facts!
