Aww, I didn't get the notification, that sucks I'm a day late

Can you do how to dodge a belt from my mom

How to stop an attacker: Step 1: Reach back Step 2: Put your arm in your pocket and try to bluff and make it like your pulling out a weapon Step 3: If they don't believe it. Take out your Magnum and shoot. Step 4: Profit.

IM NOT A FIGHTER IM JUST A KID WITH LOTS OF BULLIES BUT I WANT TO LEARN THIS

I did this to a dude at my school when he tried to fight me I knocked his ass out cold.

I’m learning some street fighter combos

Some dude just try to punch me,but guess what..i block him with my chin.

Its not as easy as it looks, the fist is gonna be coming fast, so improve your reaction time first

This is simply what Lee taught; Economy of Motion. I've used this method for 40 years...Very effective.

Stay close to your attacker, don't pull away where they can get space for a swing or stab.

If you need to defend yourself or come out on top of a situation you must always be unfair and deceptive what ever form that takes is irrelevant ...life doesn't occur in a cage or a ring

But in anime they don't do this I'll just learn from anime

I like to defend myself from bullies and those people in the streets who kidnap kids especially in 2021 there is a lot and this video helped me

I did a lot of full contact fighting 20 years ago. When people ask me how do I get to be so fast with my hands for blocking I told them the truth, that I got tired of getting hit all the time. Every thing said in this video is correct but you also have to know what it’s like to get hit. For me, it was a combination of forms, understanding blocking principles like in this video and getting clobbered that helped me.

that's the great concert. work smarter not harder..

I took a Karate Lesson when I was 10, I was in Florida at a Dojo learning everything about doing Martial Arts, it's about being tough telling me to not give up, and my father appreciate me being tough 💪💪👊

Being calm and working your skeletal structure like a carousel is definitely the key. Doing less and what you need to do is how to prevail and thats how i prevailed. Learned from taking hits at competitions as well as before martial arts and it all plays a part. Its just easier to learn from being hit than actually training and learning the right way. Great vid!

Thank you now I can Defend myself so my brother can stop beating me up

Another important lesson. Thank you Sensei Alec and Sensei Ando for sharing your knowledge.

Practice and train hard. The basics are your foundation, even when you think you have it down, work through it x100 more. Thanks for the video!

Now i bully the bullies. Tyyy

Nice presentation of fighting principles! I like using the concept of block soft - hit hard.

I'm a great believer in less is more approach when I'm sparring and I like to wear down my opponent by making them work harder then step in with the punch or kick! I always take your advise and you have certainly inproved my fighting skills. Thankyou Ando.

I love the premise, Move as little as possible. it's great if you can keep your emotions calm while under attack. most people can't, but it's necessary. The hardest part is always being aware. it's not looking for the fight, but always being aware of your surroundings at all times. It's hard to know when someone is going to sucker punch you.

ive been doing karate for like nearly 6 years and over the years as ive grown up things have started to get more detailed to me. I really appreciate this vid, it has helped me see where I need to change, how I fight and the sort of direction I should be going for when I enter comps in the future! XD

This is marvelous

It brings up some interesting points. I look at it in terms of weapon work; sometimes you need to use Karambit skill, or subtlety. But sometimes you need Claymore skill, large penetrating power that decimates an opponent. In conditioning, I train Claymore skill. In technique I train Karambit skill. Oil and water may not combine, but you need them both to make a good spaghetti.

Now try this against an uncooperative boxer.

This is an excellent video. In putting out my own defensive training videos, this stays in line with what I teach. I don't explain these basics for intermediate, however I teach the defensive movements. Thank you.

first time watch,you guys are good and teach very well thanks for the video

2 Timothy 1:7 King James Version (KJV) Hallelujah 😎💯 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND.

Cool I'm gonna use these moves to defend myself

Great video! I loved it! I'll start practicing today!

I have been in a lot of close quarter combat situations and it's a lot...thanks..surviving every dangerous situations! :)

This helps me a lot since there are a lot of toxic people in my school that are always looking for fights.

Excellent video, thank you both (howdy Sensei Alec!) I got a whole lot out of this one (I think, anyway 😄). Reminds me of the old quote "Learn it all, then forget it all. Learn the Way, then find your own way." So here's some lessons I pulled from this: Fine motor skills become more natural in a state of comfort over time (confidence through repetition and experience ); When you forego your wants and attend to your needs, self defense becomes simplified and energy flows more fluid (less effort more effectiveness). Wants and needs are akin to being, respectively, emotionally reactive vs. intellectually responsive. I really like (paraphrasing) be comfortable here, with less panic you will breathe, see and feel better what's going on, the clarity of your "needs" are made manifest in the moment, so comfort equates to self-trust...but beware of the ego (Fight your ego!). I hope I'm not taking liberties in interpreting this lesson; If I am misunderstanding I apologize and invite your correction. Thank you for another great video! 🙏

Great advice and completely true I’m only recently moving past a few habits I have had since I first started martial arts and now I am noticing even more lol. Amazing video as always.

Very well demonstrated. Back in my high school days I had an encounter with a person that felt that he was going to kick my ass. I just ignored him. He wasn't worth the sweat off my brow. Well..it happened. My rule is anyone invade my space that includes leg kicking distance is aggressive. He found out the hard way..He threw a punch, I blocked it, stepped in and caught him on the chin with my elbow. Fight was pretty much over. He got back up..punch drunk, and came at me again flailing his arms, I stepped to the side and he tripped. Head first into the dirt. Then the fight was over. He wanted no more.

Thank you sensei for teaching us how to defend ourself

Dear ! Sensei Ando and Alec this is something innovative and interesting . Thanks ! for the training and knowledge given to us . God bless You'll 🙏 .

Great basics to go over with all beginners. And yes, those who may have been learning martial arts for years are usually beginners when it comes to these simple though also advance lessons.

Thank you sensei I’m struggling I have learned now A person has been a real threat to me so I shall use his knowledge not for the dark side But for self-defense

VERY ENLIGHTENING. THANK YOU.

Excellent video and thank you 👍

Fighting tips: -If your bully has you pinned up against the wall and is strangling you, keep on kicking them until they stop -If you have sharp nails, scratch them. -Kick them on their private parts -Hit them with hard objects like text books -If they throw a punch, grab their arm and twist it as hard as possible. -Punch them in their stomach -Kick their joints

Ando, I still like those drum beats in your videos, I'm learning and dancing at the same time! Keep up the good work!

I AM Impressed and agree with Your Strategy !

Whenever i need any tips related to martial arts....i got you.....great . Thanku Sensei 🌈🌸❄️🔆❤️

I needed to learn this cause my stepfather always likes to treat me like a grown man I’m only 16

Me: Gets bullied Me after watching video: UNO reverse card Bully: Becomes my best friend

Good afternoon to the both Sensei for showing us how do we need to do our self defense on the Street.

Thanks for the advice sir

Well, thanks i just defended my friend’s bully too easy :D

Hello Sensei Ando. I'm a big fan of Martial Arts and I just recently found your channel (and your very insightful podcast). Subscribed! But what I really wanted to know - speaking of not getting hit - is how to effectively dodge attacks. I've been training Muay Thai and dodging seems to never get easier. I mean, throwing punches is so natural, but thinking quick enough to evaluate the speed, direction and trajectory of your opponent's attacks is so difficult! Could you give me your opinion on how to actually get better at dodging? Thank you so much!

Thank you Im gonna practice this now!

Ik this video is 4 years old but it still helps me alot! Thank you

I came her because someone tried to fight me tried

Nice..

Self defense always.not death.thanks guys.keep in touch.

As a person who is new at martial arts this really helped me alot😁

But...but...but...Sensei Ando, subtle defensive movements and disguised attacks don't look cool in live demos and movies. How will I ever get rich and famous doing this stuff?

Also, going for the face first is a beginner move ... go for the mid abdominal area... or hit the spleen.

Found this and its effective! Thank you Ando for sharing this video. More people should start to learn self-defense

Thank's for making this video❤ I like this💛

I wonder, does change the color of gloves give off any advantage? I heard red makes you more attentive, which maybe is why boxing gloves are usually red. but in a real fight you may not have that luxury. What do you guys think? maybe the gear as well maybe one of these newbies mistakes. (i'm not talking about changing the design, obviously they're made for a purpose, but rather the color to make it as skin like as possible)

Nice video

Ohh man this man seriously replied to all comments he got Good guy

Great video. Thank you very much.

Demoralising those who wanna heart us 😂!! Loved it!

Watching how to dodge punches when I can't even see punches coming

this is amazing, i liked it

Great content thank you

instructions were unclear, i now speak to you from inside my locker...

I still prefer not using the opposite hand to block. I did learn this technique early on, but it's better to use the same arm they use, and cross under your other arm to grab the elbow, then pull them forward. You can then throw them to the ground or use that momentum to strike. Maybe it hard to explain, but it puts them off center allowing you many other options. When they strick with their left arm, you block with your left and use your right arm under and around and up to grab their elbow. You can then pull them closer and then use your other arm and step in to put them on the ground or strike, you're choice. I hope this makes sense, I don't have someone to do a video with.

THANK YOU.. 👍

wow, this is so useful! i am self teaching myself at the moment

If u try and swat a punch away you're just gonna slap their hand 😂😂

so... sorry for the dumb qestion, but how do I this apply when fighting a small pack of people? Large movements kinda help me dealing with the mob....

Very effective and informative video keep it up bro very nice.

Excellent video Sir Thank you so much 🙏 🙏

This dude looks like Director Krenic from Rogue One

*I'm Gonna Use This For Someone Bullying To Me*

Thank you for teaching me

Great tips!!

The best and effective self defense is running your enemy

Teach the same thing in Ninjutsu. No need to waste movement ,move only the few inches required to make the punch miss. Stay facing him and stay close but avoid the fist by moving to the right position. All about angles, footwork and shifting your body . And keep the spine straight. And most importantly never turn your head away, common mistake. Keep your eyes glued on him the whole time. And helps to train slowly and as your timing and perception get better increase the speed of the attacks.

I like the way you guys break it down to the T.

Yes sir! ty. for the tutorial

Im different because the bullys in my school are always targetting smart dudes im one of the smart dudes im not a begginer and my bullys are not asking for money there asking for me to get hurt and im gonna say why i think im not a begginer cause i never get hit (sorry for the bad english)

My Heart and Mind are more dangerous than my enemies, I know more ways to hurt and kill them than they know how to kill themselves.

Very good advice! I want to take some boxing classes so I can get better with my hands

I love doing this

You say let the shoulders do the motion for you, but I say let the shoulders do the motion & bashing simultaneously on your opponent with your shoulders in rotation on creation of developing centrifugal force from one angle to another. I do remember I wrote to you to follow thru my demonstrations of this a long time ago I am only so glad to see you doing so! You should also take care to use my back hand hand grenade exploding into or onto your opponents head & body with snap crackle pop action. And by the way I'd always been the one to say it's better to fight smarter & not harder Than it is to fight on hustle/ muscle! I'm 64 but I'm still able to close the other guy's door! L.O.L Anyway I also developed my own way how to defeat the hands & feet with my own technique. I teach the rodeo bronco buckaroo bag training workout &, the arm lift under over loop smack n whack, sword/arm fighting & fencing skills, how to fight in & around /not in & out like hopalong cassidy or be a bouncing Betty sissy & how to slip n slide in & around not in & out till i'm wore out & or become myself un-anchored or off balance You don't come tipsy toeing in like a ballerina or & bouncing Betty. But you must alway's keep your arms in tight to yourself, cress crossing them back n forth, to twist, spin, jerk, grab n toss. just smash n bash bucking up & down moving in & around while hitting him with your ass, back hips, elbows & shoulders using the back hand hand grenades. Stop running & keep fighting by eliminating his efforts of deciding what he's going to do next. In other words' stop playing his game & fight your own game! Take no shame or blame but leave him in pain! Actually this style can leave you smile as it gives you the advantage to fight in close contact & still not be took back or be it necessary to severely hurt or damage him seriously to injure your opponent if say you don't need or want to destroy him/her but still be it kept easily protective of yourself. On the most part It's kinda like sword fighting, or rodeo bronco buckaroo where you convert yourself into a wild bull stomping mad & bucking him off of you. It just takes redundant practice to develop the right habits & then you'll easily have it! Practice it slow & easy as you go for the power & speed will just come naturally & easily. Only remember a habit is a habit that once you develop it 'you will definitely be stuck to it. develop only the right habits & avoid developing unnecessary bad habits as not be needed! & alway's remember the power & speed will come with it faster than if you rush it for haste only makes waste! Just slow down, take your time & understand your body is like that of a machine that has only so much wear & tear before you lose a gear or two & then your done & thru! Just keep tuned up & know your stuff!, It can & most often will carry you through.

Please add a video on blocking kicks because that's the thing I need to improve P.S knocked out by a kick 😛

Thanks so much I always have trouble dealing with bullies i can't take anymore

I like this advice sometimes people might get nervous and forget...so we should practice

hi سلام merci تشکر . wonderful .ok ok

Now i can handle the boys in schooo

Thoroughly enjoyed your video! I’ve studied martial arts and your perspective is right on. Deflection and redirection Highly effective

You're assuming that the person hitting you is going to be someone who is trained if they throw a direct straight punch, but 90% of people who have no training will give a big swing from left to right or vice versa and that cannot be blocked in the same way that you're describing in this video only someone who has been trained and fighting with throw a punch in a jab like motion, but as I said 90% of people will throw a big swing around the world before you get here could you address that
