Me who never even goes out on the streets: I’m a whole timeline ahead of you

Practical, realistic, easy to follow, and starts with the second and third best pieces of advice: Comply and run away. As Rodney below me has stated the best possible way to deal with a violent encounter is to be aware enough to not get in one. Also, a nice added touch is despite you seeming to be largely Taekwondo based practitioner (Amazing control on the kicks, holy shit man) the content steers towards much less flexibility intensive techniques. Great video man, earned a sub.

Tysm this is exactly what I needed. This video is super useful compared to the other self defense videos

One problem with kicking is that it is much easier for the attacker to catch your kick than your punch. Also, if he stabs your leg, you won't be able to run anywhere. The best bet would be to first distract the opponent, fx. by throwing something at him or otherwise keeping his focus away from your leg before trying to kick in the stomach or "bollocks" 🤣.

it's very useful in Da Hood!

In the beginning of the video he was speaking straight facts

In Taekwondo, I was taught to block a overhand right punch in a street situation, when they swing the punch , grab the inside of their arm, pull them closer towards you and elbow strike them in the side of the head, after you can do combos to get them away from you: elbow strikes, eye pokes, throat jabs, gut punches, low kicks (because they are really close to you) and stuff like that. Remember to uses your blocks too, they are important and essential for defence in a street situation. Hope this was helpful.

The only to times I had to defend myself in a street scenario I used a yoko-geri/side kick to end the confrontation. When trained correctly is a very useful thing to have in your pocket. It does not only create a ton of space between you and your opponent but also you can deal serious damage if you catch them with your heel. But at the same time, when I think of what could have happened if I missed those kicks, shivers go down my spine. I pulled of those side kicks because I had tons of reps in my muscle memory and thank lord it worked. So my advice it would be to use only what you have actually trained, practice it realistically and, like you showed, just try to stay safe.

We love you Nat your an amazing martial artist I appreciate your work and tutorials :)

Simple but effective tips for self-defence. I’ll keep those in mind. 💯👍🏿

It's already 2 am(in kr) and i was supposed to sleep alr but nahh lets watch this first martial arts is the priority today

You speak lot of facts 💯 learnt some important knowledge thanks.

Your videos are class, keep them coming

Situational awareness or presense of mind, quick physical reactions or reflexes, mental strength or toughness, composure or self-confidence, resourcefulness, the instinct or the will to fight back and defend yourself, knowing when to fight back or when to just run away as fast as you can, avoiding people places and situations that potentially lead to heated altercations or violent encounters, and your martial arts/fighting/self-defense skills and techniques (if you have any or some) which you have spent long periods of time practicing and training, can drastically increase your chances of successfully defending yourself and surviving potentially violent self-defense encounters. Speaking based on my personal experience as a self-defense practitioner.

Thank you for the tip and strategies Nathan.

Hello Bro, I am from Argentina and I have had to defend myself several times from thieves with bladed weapons and generally if you resist, the first thing they try to do is stab you and always The reflex of moving to the side has always served me, grabbing the arm in which the knife is held with one hand and at the same time giving it a hook, always trying to go for the knockout, since in Argentina is the thief who ends up knocked out or you get stabbed. PS: I know it's not the best defense method but it worked for me and I wanted to share it and good video

One thing that I have actually used (Thankfully just once in my life, because I would never want to be in that situation again) from my kempo karate days is reactive training. When we did our self-defense drills, what was most important was reaction time. We were taught to realize when fighting was the only option and to strike first with the philosophy that any hesitation would give your opponent an even bigger advantage. If you surprise your opponent, your chances of getting out alive are much higher, but you have to be the first one to act, not react. I can't remember where the quote came from, but it's so incredibly true: "A fighter trains for multiple 3 minute rounds, but a criminal will condense that into 10 seconds of furious brutality."

bro keep up the work man, love your vids 💪💪

Finally a one that’s actually real and not stupid thx

Great video! It's nice to watch some self-defense videos from people who actually know what they're doing

Great video! Only, at 9:41, it's problematic to block on the wrist, he can bend his elbow to counter quickly to the face, better to block slightly below the elbow. Also, for the take down, people should know it's not just a backwards push but a full body twisting force with core strength and leverage chaining up from the feet.

“So be careful what you listen to, but you can listen to me.” Love this guy 😭

Love the videos brother keep up the good work

Honestly this is more realistic than most self defense videos

Thank uu!!!! I literally looking for this!!!!

The best video from you yet 💪

The head lock trick was awesome

great video!!! an actual realistic video. good examples!!!

As a Brit, i went straight to the knife part.

ok i m subscribing for the effort your friend gave 😄😄

most sensible knife and gun defence video ever, nice one

Can you please make a video on upper body mobility & quick punches for karate* ❤️

The best guy to look at when it comes to learn to defend yourself against knives is Usain Bolt

This is so helpful I’ve been getting bullied at school so this is helpful

aye love the videos your striking is awesome have u ever tried any judo or bjj?

This is great 👍

It's really Amazing 😍🤩 I really like your teaching Awesome 🔥🇮🇳❤️‍🔥

You are watching,laying on bed😂

great video。 Pls consider to give a demo about Mikazhki Geri and explain why it's so powerful. It looks like not that power ful. But, in fact, can see this in many KO scene.

Thank you Master 🥰

" You don't look like a wimp if you run away. It's just smart"👍

This is some legit stuff 👍🏻🔥

Thank You Sensei!

I like your style and work

Terima kasih tutorial yg anda ajarkan sangat mudah di pelajari

Nice video. Love it ❤

Gun defence: If they’re already pointing a gun at you, it’s already too late

Bro You inspire me

Great and good advice! Im doing Kyokushin btw! OSS!

Hey Nat, great video man and thanks for sharing those awesome tips, I have a question, where did you get those floor mats from because I've been trying to find a good place to buy some off of but have had no luck so far and was wondering whether you have a specific place that you buy you're gear from.

THANK YOU! I’m subbing rn

I have a few questions. 1. What if the knife guy tries to kick me back. 2. In the hand to hand example, what if the other guy’s just bigger than me (which is more often than you might think)

I love the video. If there's anything i'd change it's the judo throw/takedown you demonstrate at 9:45. In judo that technique is actually a sacrificial throw. Unless you're an actual ninja you will often fail, trying to take down a resisting opponent by just applying pressure with your arm from that position. I'm absolutely not saying it can't be done, but what i'm saying is that if your setup is not perfect there is a considerable risk that both of you are going to end up on the ground together using that particular takedown. In judo, most times you actually sit yourself down from that same position, taking your opponent with you. For this reason, even though i'm actually a decent judoka, i would opt for almost any other simple takedown. Leg sweeps can be hard to learn at first because of the timing required, but they can actually be really good in street fights because they tend to leave you in a more defensible position, should you fail to take your opponent down.

coach is backkk

thanks for this video it was kinda funny 👊👊

“Empty your pockets!” “Ok hol’ up I got my laptop in hereeee”

Very useful thanks nat

9:04-10:40 love this sick moves 😁

Also something you can do for the bigass swing is receive it with your hand covering your head (as you did) and country punch with a hook, they'll be stunned so you can throw an upper or a cross leading to a hook and Thats it

Useful tips

Good channel another good realistic channel is martial arts journey

Nice video, but I have a small question. For the headlock, wouldn't you try to block their shoulder with your hand instead of doing it on the stomach?

Thx 🙏 sir

Random boxer:kicks don’t work,just get a knockout jab in the nose!

Does hand to hand change at all depending on your weight?

Best ❤

I am from India and pls start series for training of martial arts

The other guy in the video had enough confidence to let Nat almost kick him in the balls.

Thank you

Loved it!

I liked what you said mostly but I feel I should add being someone who has dealt with a knife attack Most aggressors will conceal the knife and when they attack with a knife it’s fast and very dangerous most victims don’t realise they’re getting stabbed I can’t stress the importance on training up your awareness on what’s going on around you in my case I’m making sure when I’m faced with a potential attacker my awareness is switched on I’m watching their body language I’m listening what are they saying are they being aggressive are they angling off are they trying to hide one or both of their hands if so I’m assuming they have a weapon a knife at that moment I’m either running if I have that option or If my exits are blocked then I’m doing what I had to do when two teens blocked my path to the train station 7 years back and threatened to gut me I’m going preemptive the moment I even see a threatening gesture or they even say anything relating to knives. Going up against a knife is nothing to fool around with either give them what they want! Run if you can or if you don’t have a choice go preemptive if you don’t have a choice

in the field i mostly use judo but i need to try your thing

i was laughing too much when you emptied your pocket

Please make a video on how do you defend yourself in school from bullies 😭😭

With any of the scenarios you showed - with the gun you seemed to think about it - keep in mind your attacker can move also. Like with the knife you can only keep him away for so long until he - or from the get go - gets a hold of your leg. The wild punches, try to go for a headbutt if you go inside. Bound to rock him more than other techniques. And the headlock, if it's a good one you won't get out of it. If it's a bad one, you will struggle because he can move with you.

Lmao the pockets bit

I think im a naturally good fighter coz i seem to know what to do in a fight and im strong fast and good with my body , i did train for a few years. But is that a thing Nat? Being a naturally good fighter? This video is what everyone needed, awesome, keep it up!

Love the random bits of humour here n there

I like ur Chanel

Dying is the ultimate self defense.

Funny shit!! When you pulled that sock out!!!

Would love to work with you. I do then same things as you such as Martial Arts, boxing, kickboxing and self defence

Nice vid but wha happend to the dojo tour bro 😢

Which karate's style you use ?

like your kick^_^

Video about capoeira please ❤️

This is great for Da Basement

In the case of a knife attack a side kick is gold, it mantains the distance and pushes away the attacker and you can get the hell outta there. Pepper spray is a good choice too against knife attackers.

Love the video!

Nice mate thanks

That is the best counter to the headlock I’ve seen but while you do it you could hit them in the groin and after kind of elbow their stomach back instead of pushing them back

can you recreate Fajar’s moveset from Sifu

Nat hearn: run away if there is a guy with a gun "me who does johnny cage's SHADOW Kick"

Now this is useful karate

thanks for this its useful. Also for further tricks switch to KCM2 + sage mode from naruto to act like minato and then KO the foe😂

i like this, the only thing i would add, is the kick and run scenario cant always be, since,... he can run too.. lets say you get a head start, but he is faster, or your first kick wasnt strong enough. you cant always kick and run. but is a good start, and with a double grab... i mean.. he is defenseless so... plenty of strikes to the face, legs etc while you have contro of the arms are ok

This is what I call real defense

I love your content.

Keep on going on good videos
