Sensei Andrea dropping more knowledge bombs on y'all

Dirty fighting moves aren't magic tricks. You still have to know how to use them. Let's talk about that!

"Always restomp the groin" - Master Ken . Seriously though, this is great stuff.

I'm a martial arts instructor myself, so I gotta say this: Amid all of the "experts" out there, especially on youtube it is so good and refreshing when coming across an actual expert that knows what he's talking about and knows what he's doing! Thank you so very much for being out there and spreading proper knowledge of the arts!

you are one of the best teachers I have seen on the internet and the fact that you are replying to comments after 5 years amazes me and it's a shame that this video has very few views you are very underrated sensei and a good person oss!

Even in the middle ages people didn't fight honorably. It's always been a myth.

Congratulations sensei, and thank you, you've helped me a lot with your videos. Now I've added a new line to my lore "self defense is war".

good video sir, we did a women's class and that was the first thing that came out of one of the woman's mouth, tried to explain them how women are not physically built to be stronger, so they need a plan B, plan C etc... well at the end of the class, was glad we got thru to them...

dude, you are the best fight teacher I've seen on all the internet.💪👍

I've recently found about your channel and I must say that I am impressed. Not only you give good advice, with good, strong points, but also manages to make each and every video surprisingly entertaining. Your dedication is truly noteworthy, Ando. I mean it! I have been following/doing the challenge for a couple weeks and wanted to thank you for all the hard work you put into sharing your knowledge. Stay strong, my friend.

Excellent Sensei Ando! Thank you very much as always! 😃 I'm always waiting for your new videos!

its so fucking true about people who says self defense is easy ill just kick their balls or bend their fingers...i have to try to explain myself how its not that easy but well...some people never listen until shit happens lol

Another great video. Thank you for the advice Sensei Ando.

Excellent advice Sensei Ando!! And also great definition of self-defense. If you take away the dirty moves from a real fight, what you get is sports. Completely agree with that👌👍

I love your way of thinking, absolutely wonderful :) Thank you as always!

really helpful.I would need all the tricks in the world to be able to fight and escape :)

another great video as always,thank's Sensei Ando

I always say to younger students in the dojo when we are practising moves and they make a mistake to never say sorry. I always say to them what would you do next. if you are in a fight and your move does not come off, you don't get to stop, say sorry and ask if you can do it again. always think of your next move. another great video

awesome, very very good wisdom Sensei Ando!!

So much information, so much to watch. Seems Im coming really late to your channel, ehehe. But here I am watching. Keep it up!

Awesome video sensei! We all love your videos!

I love your videos, they're so helpful. Thank you!

Excellently said! thank you for always being authentic!

Awesome video as always. & absolutely correct about those know- it- alls that say, "I don't need to learn martial arts/ self defense. Just one kick to the groin & the fight will be over." In youtube alone I see atleast 10 comments per day with similar statements. I can't help but shake my head at their ignorance. The biggest mistake you can make in a fight is to underestimate your opponent & overestimate yourself. Anyway, as always I can not stress enough about the good your doing to us aspiring martial artists by imparting your knowledge & experience through your videos. The fact that you do it in a precise, to the point manner with an occasional dose of humor only adds flavor to an already delicious dish. Will wait eagerly for your next video. Respect...

Thank you again I can't wait to show this one to some of my family, and friends. that say kicking the groin knees, or even the shins not to mention pulling hair or bitting is fighting girlish. they have no idea what it takes

Perfect timing! I just watched Hack's video on training on a BOB and it included a couple "dirty" tactics...everybody should see this...

Awesome video, Ando.

Love ur vids ando and always throw in something funny. Great work buddy.

Amazing. Great speech keep making these amazing videos! Much love.

Thank you so much for the advices!

spot on. A+

Again...well said my friend...good stuff.

Thanks for this video.

thanks for giving us these fighting tricks

i love your videos :) They are great

- Now I fully understand why there's a huge focus on overkill training. It's where the "and then" part makes sense. In sports, you stop when you know the other guy is down or has submitted, but in real life, you do the combos until the threat is stopped (this is including legal repercussions, of course).

Sensei you are awesome.

My son and I really like what you have to say in this video!

Great video

Love this vid! Funny too. Thanks. From the UK.

Great video absolutely true

Quick question if your press on someone’s eyes with your thumbs for 10 seconds straight with all ur might can u push them in?

Thank you so very much

Well said I totally agree

i love your voice man keep it up

can agree with you more，Sir！Well done！

Great Advice

Thanks for all the tips,i just went to kung fu practice a week ago and im planning to stay there for years cause im underweight and most guys can kick my ass so i went to kung fu to learn some self defense

good advice.

Gracias !!!

Logical definition of" self defence".I admit it #sensei.🙋‍♂️

Thank you

thank you sensei

Awesome

Thank you for saying what I have taught for the past 30 years. In the real world there are only survivors and victims. I have trained every part of my body to be a deadly weapon. However, in real combat I have no issue with leaving a pile of hair, eyeballs, and testicles in my wake. For that reason, I feel no shame in walking away from trouble. No need to prove anything. Treat others with respect and if there is no way out of a tight spot, let the tiger off the leash. One of the reasons I avoid violence is because I don't want to be covered in someone's blood-borne pathogens. I advise that one avoid bad friends, bad places, and bad behavior. That will greatly increase your odds of avoiding injury or death. Much respect.

I could not agree more. As a small woman I know I have little chances in any fight, so if something is going to help me defend my life or the lives of my loved ones, I am definitely going to use it

oh yes I hear you on that one... told them like my dad told me... the element of surprise is your best weapon.. when you strike... fight and don't stop!

Good video

I think that finger breaking is the most underrated dirty fighting move, if you anything about grappling, you know how important grip fighting is.

I wholeheartedly agree. And I liked the perspective that "dirty fighting" doesn't actually exist in a life-threatening situation. Although still, we wouldn't want to gouge their eyes on a boys-proving-themselves kind of fight. And we would all be rightfully dubbed Andreas if we pulled hair in these ones.

Is gouging eyes and accidentally biting something off because you bit too hard illegal or is it still self defense? Also if I were to take a martial arts class which type should I take? (MMA, etc)

u r awesome

If you ever get the chance i would love to see you do a few weapons disarms. I carry a concealed firearm and so i am always paranoid that an attacker will make me and target me first in a public environment with their own weapon. Maybe show us something against a single attacker as well as two/ more attackers?

So true just went through one,combat sports is much safer

hey I'm having a tournament next month October and I lost my last one and I want to win this one can you do a video on tips on how to win a tournament

wow, nice looking Gi!

Do you have any self defence tips on how to defend against bjj guys?

Instant Classic

very good and helpful Mr. Mierzwa see you on instagram! 🙏

great video, well explained. u should wear black more often. it looks good on u.

I have seen a common fallacy in self defense. tutorials ....they needed warmup and stretchings, this was an exception,

The biggest problem with dirty fighting is that these moves are so effective to the point that they become too dangerous for sparring or competition. This means people tend to not drill these moves, so they don't find ways to use them most effectively when they really need them in a real fight. What do you think, Ando? I do agree mindset is half the battle, but my question is what in your opinion is the best way to physically drill these techniques while not being too unsafe for practice? Are we limited to shadow boxing with these? Should we spar using these moves but wear a lot more protective gear?

The eye gouging poster in this video reminded me of HBO's got.

make a vid on how to make your core stronger

Had an ad about Real Defenses

Yeah pencak silat or classical muay thai is a living example of what i now called dirty fighting. marital art revolve about Survival using any mean necessary and most of them were given birth amidst wars.

thank you master "os" am arabic ninja student am watching you from iraq

If I want to become decent at martial arts, and learn a few basic stuff, would I be able to do it from home rather than having an actual lesson? If I was to stretch a lot, buy myself some gear, and learn from teachers on KZfaq such as yourself?

#TRUTH ! . . . oss

Can u make a video about focusing and emotional stability exercises in Kung fu Shaolin please. A friend of me holds a master's degree in psychology and was about to join the Egyptian Intelligence told me that the Emotional stability one of the secrets of the strenght or Succeeding of anyone and i tested that.

it's true .. most of the martial artist or people who want to learn martial art so called think that "yeah m learning martial art and I can beat 10 or 20 people in street" or most of martial art instructor teaches still now that "like this and that you can save yourself in street" -_- .. even when I was a brown belt at karate and got trapped at street with some gangs then seriously, no sport kumite or like punches and roundhouse kick was there .. then I was finding that :o .. what happened?? why my Fighting skills didn't get in use .. and when I changed to other dojo .. then my sensei told me that " kata can b applied in real life fighting but that depends on practicing it which is for a trained martial artist but for untrained martial artist or normal people ...it's totally different" :) ... so for long writing sensei ... hope to get more knowledge from you through your videos

Honestly I hear this and just think back to Avatar the Last Airbender when Aang wanted to find another way, besides killing, to defeating the firelord and the previous avatars (especially the previous airbender) all said the same thing. “Do whatever it takes to protect the world”.

How do you prevent someone from grabbing you in a fight?

Seems as a fair tip. I might add just one thing: if attacker does not care about your health why would you care about his own ? This video is a double profit for me - learning english and mental values of self-defense. Let me ask some advice from you. If I am 198 cm and 125kg will the Taekwondo be a nice suitable art for me ? Thank you, Ando. Sorry for poor english.

If u got to use it use it but it's good to learn other stuff to

Sensei hello the thing with people is that the American people have this complex that everything got to be over emphasized we don't know how to keep things simple anything has to be done with an intent on following though motion like if up where to use an single eye gauge on some one you just don't touch their eye you brace you self and follow all the way through to the back of the skull .

Had to get a finger in a bully's eye. Won without any hits. His eyes were red and he hasn't come to me again. Guess I won :)

Can eye gouging kill someone?

cool uniform(:

The so called "Dirty fighting" has it's own technics in a pretty much every martial art I've known. Out of curiosity, I've watched Paul Vunak dvds a while ago, disabling a foe is quite a hard thing. Thank God is not always necessary...

What if you're at school or at a public area and you get in a fight? The police and officials think it's illegal to use dirty moves in fighting and there are consequences.

can I play Weight lifting with martia Art ?

Ah sensei thank you, I'm going to make my kids watch this.......cause they don't listen to me! ;)

just posted your new video on istagram now 👊👍🙏

You know what? I really appreciate your training. However I too train to bully proof tap n tag sparing / fighting. I just heard you say their is no dirty fighting like kicking, biting, hair pulling and so fourth, & I agree. But I still don't recommend kicking so much & I'll tell you why. I find kicking a disadvantage unless it is a sucker kick which is OK so long as it's in defence of a sure attack on me. I have a style I created to defend & beet the feet with my technique. I was a pro boxer way back when 40 years ago. My doctor told me I was fat & needed to work out as I was diagnosed w/ diabetes & other aliments. I'm 63 now going on 33 L.O.L In any case I returned to the boxing ring, only I did not feel right with every kid being so young,. I was suggested to try out at an MMA club & was told they are older & professional fighters that fights all the time in the casino's. I did just that. They said sure we won't use our feet & they would fight me just so to develop their hand technique. Right off the bat I was defeating them with just my hands only as it was my game. They soon enough got where they refused to spar me unless I would allow them to kick as they quote said I was cramping their style of no kicking, I told them then to do what you need to do & kick, & so they did low & dirty. I was trained to never hit below the belt so I'd quit for like 3 or 4 months watching you & other kick fighters. I studied & designed my own style of defence & offence to use on kick fighters & proved successful. How to defeat the feet with my new technique. It take me too long to explain how I do it but you can see it for yourself if & when KZfaq me Dave Overbey fight & defend. Now don't get me wrong as I am not criticising or comparing so much as I'd put three years development & study into this that it might benefit someone bullied. You know & I know bullies exist. I've reached the point to start my own series of training those of lesser skill strength & size so they can defend themselves against the wise guy bully. My series will be to fight & be free of threats aimed at me. My style is not the muscle hustle as is the development of fight habits just as you quoted to make habits of how you stand & defend. It's the muscle memory & leverage. Over training leads to underestimating. Weight lifting is only stiff-ability not agility or flexibility. Rope skipping is like tap dancing & your never going to hit a home run, Speed bag is only a show off bag & so is like a botanist. or a drummer playing wipe out L.O.L One needs to be agile & flexible, Anchored & able to push, shove twist, spin , jerk, toss & throw. Punch n crunch, slap n smack, Bash n smash, slip n slide rolling in, under & around as not fighting on the outside, & more to fighting in & around & not be a clown. Constantly in perpetual motion habits of grabbing & all the above. Note's will describe under comments to be advisable to read on more details. It's not the muscle hustle win's the fight unless one allows it. KZfaq Dave Overbey fight & defend to the end. Thanks for your input & please feel free to reply. I give you thumbs up & again Thanks.

at 2:55 YES. lol my whole family thinks its a joke. They nicknamed me the fat ninja as a side joke. I have lost 30 pounds since that nickname and am now 208 6'0 but still for them it sticks. It drives me insane when they say "this is not realistic and you will never need it'. So will I ever need football skills? since they think football is life and all you have to do is tackle someone? No I can not stand football. I am going to show my family this video at the next gathering. thanks Ando.

Thanks for the video. What you say about "dirty fighting" is just so true, I can't believe I used to think "meh, I'll just kick him in the balls and he'll leave me alone". Btw, I completed the 7 day challenge. waiting a few days to start another one ^^

How to be a fucking ninja! Next Vid idea!

i agree with that....the problem is than a lot of dirty fighting move are overatted and are not suffisant for win a streetfight against an experimented opponent ....that's why lot of self defense style are total bullshit and than MMA or just boxing work best in the street!!!!

How to make them work is training efficiency of movement, sensitivity, speed and balance, as well the attitude of a wolverine.
