I think the guy on the Phone has had some Training because the hold he used was something that's taught.

I really like this fight analysis videos. Keep going man, nice job!!!

Excellent video and explanation, as always. Keep this good job!

Awesome! Thanks for this video Nick

Thank you Sir! Love the self defenses!

Awesome advice - thank you so much!

Wonderful fight analysis! Keep up the good work!! =)

Good video, Nick , i learned this bat defense on my krav maga class , very accuarate.

Great tips Nick. In Krav class once we step in, blast neck, then use knees and elbows to finish him quickly in case of other attackers. You have a great variety of training videos, I subscribed

Nice video Coach Nick!

Love the series Nick keep it up

Excellent Nicko

excellent advice, exactly how i was taught

Great video enjoyed it

nice work NICK yes you got to get in and stay real close and tight be in control then take it from there once again nicely said have a good day

great video

just about the only legit self defense instructor on youtube.

that's fantastic! love you.

Nice video Nick, thank you. I never really thought about going in Well, Nick, what would be more useful in a street fight after I go in and lock the bat..Palm strikes in the attacker's face or punches in the attacker's body or you can recommend another alternative way

nice video and nice work with those biceps

Diamantidis t-shirt loved it☘

It's a very scary situation. But nice reaction against the attacker.

Yes, and keep your head at a lowered angle in case he throws a punch with his another hand. You could also stomp on his feet to make him flinch. Then he's an easy target. Don't start wrestling. Deflect the initial attack, grab his arm and start dealing blows as fast as possible. Use your knees to hit his groin and stomach and like I said you can also step on his feet. A lot of people miss that. Once he starts flinching you could also pull a leg sweep on his ankles since he's off balance and bring him on the ground. Don't think too much as Nick said, just start dealing blows as fast and as hard as you can and try to hit where it hurts the most. Just my 2 cents.

have to do more stuff like these

Nick do you have a school that people can go to?

Best series on KZfaq. Self-defense analysis Saturdays.

Μπράβο Νίκο και μπράβο και στο παληκάρι με την μπλούζα του Διαμαντίδη13 ;)

Can you get severely injured during the clash ? To be honest you are talking about a specific scenario but in street fighting things might get more serious than that.

Nice Nick. I saw unarmed samurai stop a sword strike, and it looked very similar. i have thought about that technique to stop long range weapons like the bat you display. Only think I would say is it would been great if you had more space and time to really show some of you good effective striking after the initial jam. as a big guy I would expect someone to pick something, a long range weapon is they were going to try and attack me. Watching this video was good to see some modern day technique. The video you had was great. I have been in situations when someone you know well attacks you. They are completely unsuccessful, but you don't trash them, that is, hurt them as bad as you could. In that video there were no strikes. The attacker was smashed into the car and that took whole lot of steam out of him. I couldn't see exactly how he choked him out. I would say that the defender used only the necessary force to, as you say, to neutralize his attacker. Great vid Nick. Thx good show.

What do you think about training doing the enter with the elbow vertical, so that you do not create an angle with it in case you miss the bat? Also, thoughts on steping in to the side of the bat so you jam it, or the side of the other arm so you avoid the force?

Nice bat nick ! #let's go blue jays #let's go nick drossos

Big guy was on it.

However weird it may sound: The safest place to be, when you are attacked like this, is between the attacker and the weapon. That is, on the inside. It takes massive cohones to go there, and there is zero time to dwell on the decision. What I would do differently though, is to avoid blocking hard - at least as long as there is momentum in the weapon. A "stiff" weapon like a bat or baton behaves very differently from a bicycle chain for example, and you wouldn't like that being stopped in an instant just to wrap like a whip around your head.

After deflecting the blow, my instinct would be to palm heel w/ osoto gari, but that is because I am a judo guy. Anyway, good use of that excellent video of a real bat attack.

What i dont like about this method is if you time your entry wrong or the batter does the baseball fake waiting for you to move in then steps and swings and your timing is off your dead meat but if i was going to have to move in in this situation i would wedge into his shoulder destroying his AC joint as that will also spin him around and that arm holding the bat will be useless

That guy did a excelent job.

if they have a bat when they swing get close like huging and get your knees up

From there where you got his arm you can do a judo flip then mount him

those toronto blue jays are deadly...

i confused the so espert why not goin to ufc

Nice!The guy wears Diamantidis t shirt!Ελα ρε πανάθα!

Nick Drossos you confuse the hell out of me. I first watched one of your videos a couple of days ago. In that video you asserted that the technique the guy in this video used wouldn't work in a real fight. Incidentally, he didn't use arms to block the attackers bat arm.

Solid phone defense

Multiple attackers, take them down, how do you learn how? Watch Nicks videos

He used the Krav maga bat defence 😁

I would not widen my stance only because I seen to many times of oh no the low blow😂😂🤣😭

You mean Usain Bolt Pose...lol

hey Nick I got attacked by a woman & she had another woman with a baseball bat tried to attack me or my sister in my city nieghborhood in Fort Wayne,Indiana & the police came so quickly & took the baseball bat away from another woman & the police will keep the baseball bat for clue & the another woman will never get the baseball bat back again.

Γεια σου πατριωτάκι!

In the Full Nelson, I would have simply just turned to face along the pavement and then used my weight to take him down by falling forward to meet the sidewalk. Good night nurse.

Pro tip: if you swing a bat at somebody step back and hit them instead of them coming in and blocking xD

"How to defend against Pennywise"

Great video as always Nick - love Helen's input in other videos too from the female perspective. With the recent fully justified outrage over Harvey Weinstein's conduct in Hollywood, female survival skills become ever more important. Slightly worried by the response of the fantastic actress Michelle Yeoh. I think she has martial arts belts of high standing but started out as a budding ballerina. When an interviewer asked her what she would do if confronted by Weinstein she said she would quote 'use her gong fu training on him'. This angered me somewhat. There still seems to be the impression that if you have some special 'art' training, even as an actress, you are somehow bulletproof in daily situations. With the exception of MMA training which covers the necessary broad skill base, nothing else could be further from the truth. In fact it may give people a false sense of security. Weinstein is a massive, fat guy and is physically imposing and wouldn't likely give time or room for drills / sequences. I felt like shouting 'WATCH NICK DROSSOS!' That misplaced bravado sets a bad example for young people, especially women under sexual attack. Keep up the good work, much needed.

A good'old headbut to the face right after stopping the bat could've made things easier

I face against muggers before,

I don't get it why people don't call the police...

What about fight paralysis though Just joking μεινε δυνατος

THEY GUY COMES AT YOU WITH A LETHAL WEAPON TAKE HIM OUT- INSTEAD OF JUST TRAPPING THE BAT, AND LEAVING THE ATTACKERS OTHER ARM FREE-HIT HIS THROAT AND TAKE THE AWAY FROM ATTACKER TO NOT STAY CLOSE TO ATTACKER IN CLINGE WITH OTHE OTHER ARM FREE, THAT COULD PULL A KNIFE. DRIVE THE ATTACKERS HEAD INTO TO WINDOW, WALL, POLL, BUT DO NOT WRESTLE WITH HIM THIS IS TOO DANDEROUS. TAKE HIM OUT.

Amazing video nick, i love the concept of analyzing real attack videos keep them coming.
