How to be safe: 1. Pretend to be blind 2. Execute perfect shoulder throw 3. Safety

Escalating from "Roommate is pissed about wasted water" to "Frying pan to the head." seems totally reasonable.

2:40 “Obviously your man’s house.” Dude, that killed. 😂😂

Well... they _may_ save your life.

In quite a number of these the person "defending herself" actually just escalated a situation that wasn't likely to get violent in the first place. And in some she performed several escalating actions, like the whole roommate thing and the bag-bumping incident.

I'm convinced this man is not only a sensei but a comedian, like I laughed too many times because of this video. 😂

I see the issue, she didn't yell "THAT'S MY PURSE! I DON'T KNOW YOU!" before she kicked him in the nuts.

I work in a ”real mans’s job” (AV Engineer to be exact) and I use zip ties every single day. Releasing yourself from a zip tie with hair pin etc. is about as realistic as me stopping Seth’s hook kick with Ki-energy, throwing him down with gotegaeshi and knocking him out with Star Trek nerve pressure. I actually just now tried opening a zip tie with an electrician’s flat head screwdriver using both hands (I did not tie myself up, I’m not that fun) and it took me good five minues to do it even then. Which is why you use sidecutters to open a zip tie. There is reusable zip ties which are easier to open, but I doubt it would work even then. Also they will cut the blood circulation to your hands if tightened enough, for all of the macho men who would simply break the plastic with their enormous muscles. There’s also zip ties of several sizes and strenght, as well as ones made of metal. If you’re bound like that you’re basically fucked.

I had a feeling the video and people you were reacting to was Troom-Troom, and I was not disappointed! Especially with how done you were so early on in the video 😂😂😂

90% of thieves will scout you out before robbing you for at least a minute. So what's he thinking there? Oh she keeps her sight in this backpack?

There's a section of the zip tie that locks it and it looks like a small flap of plastic. By pushing it with an object you alleviate the pressure that is locking it in the current notches... it's just not always practical in a situation like that. More useful if you somehow fucked up putting cables together rather than if you've gotten kidnapped.

Pocket sand is super effective every time. Dale Gribble taught me everything I know.

4:45 “Ay yo punk, I bet you won’t do it twice! Come here!” 😂😂😂 I’ve never laughed so hard in my entire life, 10mins of gutbusting laughter, I couldn’t stop!!

12:19 I would say this would make the robber come back to try to rob you more if anything.

"I have a hole." -Sensei Seth The greatest quote in history.

The thing about the pocket one is that if someone is jumpy they may just assume you're going for a weapon and attack you while you're trying to grab your distraction. And if they have a knife or a gun it's game over

I actually have my first karate tournament in a few months but qualifying matches for nationals are soon wish me luck and I hope to compete in bjj later this year

"pretend to be blind" When she has clearly car keys 🤣🤣

Regarding the Zip-Tie - yes, you can unlock and reuse them by pressing down on the little nub. That's why - if you ever have to tie s.o up with that - you want the "nub" facing away from them/ down.

I don't really understand who the target audience for videos like that is😩

"Second most lethal weapon is groint grab" - Master Ken, this is the best self defense tip just go for the balls man

I always need my life saved Sensei!

And I thought the fake martial art I made up was bad 😄. Thank you for sharing ☺️.

Tbf I've used that weird headlock thing (9:40 ) while play fighting as a "defense" for a big overhand right so it's not useless along as your attacker has no intention of hurting you and the throws it at half speed

Imagine if the robber hadn’t looked back, to see that she’s “blind”… her plan would’ve immediately been rendered useless

Here we go again! Round two of the Troom Troom self-defense tips that can OBVIOUSLY work if you just watch them🤣

I've watched tons of 'martial artist reacts to terrible self defense' videos and yours are by far the most entertaining.

This was the funniest video I’ve watched all week, and it’s already Wednesday. Thank you.

Hey bro, I discovered your channel a few days ago and just wanted to say great content 🔥 it’s entertaining and inspirational. I just subscribed. Keep up the good work.

hey man, i love your self defense tips busting seeries... keep your great work!

I'm in construction, I have occasionally had to break all kinds of ties, it is possible that zip ties might be able to be undone with a safety pin. But like you just twist it one way, then the other and and keep doing that till it weakens, especially if it's tied in front of you. I mean straight up if a zip tie is tied in front of you, just break the zip tie.

Me: *doesn't notice the hole in his shirt* Sensei Seth: Oh by the way there is a whole in my shirt

The zip tie thing is absolutely true. I do it all the time to save zipties while I'm working or if I think cutting the zip tie might damage the thing it's tied to.

Sensei seth you really made my day. LMAO, this video was hilarious.

Troom Troom are hilarious, please continue to laugh at them, it's fun. The 2 moves I liked here, is the knee to the groin, and elbow to the face. About groin attacks, there are some people who are really sensitive in the area, but I've seen some who has balls of steel. Do not count only on groin attack, continue the fight or run away. Same with elbow to the face, very good, but continue, realistically the fight is not over in one strike. Catching the hand and twist it, you got to know how to cause pain, but only an idiot will not use his 2nd hand, and would not use his legs.

Thank you for the video brother! ☺♥☺

Great Video Sensei Seth!

Thanks, I really needed to watch this video as I am being jumped at the moment

yes seth cant wait to watch this mate already know im going to crack up!

Half of these are: You can't win an argument? Use violence! If you do the one in the kitchen you might go straight to jail for attempted murder! It's not "How to defend yourself." More than half of these are. "How to commit assault!"

Bro it be fun to have a sensei like you 🤟

YESSS PART 2!!!

"and send her back to where she came from", "obviously your man's house." Oof that had me ugly laughing right there.

Yo love the vids

Zip ties can be undone, but it needs skill to do it. You need both your hands and no tension in the zip tie.

Another thing. Purse snatchers don’t always work alone. One can get a feel and signal to the other to make a move. Someone tried to mug me and i could see it happening because I one signal and the guy that got signal started diagonally crossing the street to cut me off so I did the same thing and cut him and punked him out. He regrouped with his buddies and started cursing in his native language. Had I let him cut me off, he’d probably make me stop to ask questions while the other two snuck up.

Thank you Seth !

The most lifesaving quality is getting regular excersise.

I actually have a big problem with that scene with a knee to the groin. The big problem with it is, it only inflicts pain, and no real damage. And there are a lot of people that only get enraged by pain, and not dulled, especially among the aggressive type. So never ever go for something that only hurts, it will probably just endanger you more. go for stuff that actually damages your opponent, that has an actual physical effect.

Fun story. In my Karate class one time, we were doing knife drills. My partner threw his knife in the air and kicked me in the the Solar Plexus when I was distracted. That kinda works. 🤷🏻

As an auto technician the zip tie trick works they do have a small tab that can be pushed back to release

zip tie thing is real, there's a little plastic tab that locks on the indents on the zip tie, very easy to bypass

Troom-Troom really needs to learn self defense from Master Ken. Not one time, did Troom-Troom restomp that groin.

@SenseiSeth made a video where he had someone else helping him in showing the effectiveness of these techniques. I would love to see the video where Seth says to his helper "walk in front of me and try to take my bag" only to procede to act blind as the guy walks out of the room

I love that the final straw was basically the Pettis superman punch off the cage but terrible lol

1: Holy armpit, sensei, that wristlock is stupid! 2: Zip ties can be busted open by putting your arms out in front and bringing them back into your body hard, it's easy. 3: ... No. 4: You could turn around and leave... 5: I mean apologising and backing down works like 90% of the time. 6: Take a real fighting course. 7: I mean, yeah, elbow sure but also shout for help. 8: So take Judo, okay. I'm sure it gets better... -.-

"People aren't that dumb ..." You really haven't been outside in loooong time ...

This man really diserves more subscribers

The ziptie thing works. The end can even be used if there is enough sticking out

The zip-tie thing is a thing, but try doing that with a safety pin (or whatever) in your mouth. A plastic tab is what keeps the tie engaged. If you can loosen that, you can reverse the tie. Often, the tab is tight, though. Your just as likely to poke yourself with a safety pin, if you blindly try to find it, with a pin in your mouth. It takes force. A hairpin or a paperclip is unlikely to do it. It also depends on the tie, too. Some are badly manufactured, and they will be loose. Older ones might be brittle & come loose, too. Others may be a very tight fit, and unless you have something sharp, you're not going to work the tab loose. Sometimes, you can loosen the tab, by pushing the tie in a bit, then pulling it back out - rapidly. (You have to be careful, or you're just going to tighten it more.

I've been thrown to the ground with groin shots twice. I got sharp jolts of pain and panic but I was able to get up immediately. Those were clean shots though. Getting a clean shot is the most difficult part.

Love the video 🤣🤣

Second woman comes into play. Guy AUTOMATICALLY grabs both glasses, he's been there before!

I love your videos sensei! They never fail to entertain me 😂👌

Thanks for your comments. See it as it is, a great comedy!

Bro that last part got me excited for nothing! I thought we were getting some wall walking punching action like Tony Ferguson shit 😭😂

I think the idea with the pocket sand is that the mugger is telling you to give him the stuff in your pockets, so he's not on guard by you digging around in your pockets, so you can surprise him by throwing it at his face. Not sure what they expect you to do after pissing him off by ringing his bell, though. That might buy you a second or two, but unless you're Bas Rutten, it's not gonna do anything to, like, actually stop him or anything.

Zip tie works but there are much quicker ways to just snap it. I think you did a follow up on this in a later video haha

The one where the dude bumped into the purse could work if you remember to REstomp the nuts

Someone should make a video with the same atmosphere like these but with legit techniques. Hell I wanna be part of it

This is a great video hilarious I love you seth lol

Pleaaaasssseeee do these with icymike. I would kill to see his reactions to these!

Clean groin shots are very similar to livershots in my experience. It doesn't hurt immediately, starts slowly and then gets worse exponentially every other second. And yes, they stop the fight! I forgot my cup for sparring once and caught an inside lowkick that went too high. I tried powering through it.... It did NOT work. I couldn't walk properly for hours, nevermind fight

Yes you can shim a zip tie, you can also just break it. Also the one where she kneed the guy in the groin... she needed to shout "that's my bag, I dont know you" first.

Ai sensei!

The wrist burn thing was a terribly executed center lock, believe it or not. It work really well in mannequin training. No actual wrist locks were performed that day. Zip tie trick is real. Works on most handcuffs too.

Training on imperfect floors might actually be practiced in Okinawa...which we all know, is the birthplace of karate. ;)

If your hands are ziptied in front of you, you can actually just slam your hands down towards your hips and break the plastic. Sort of like board breaking where its incredibly easy to do but only if you commit to following through.

If there is something i have learnt over the years, Simpel is better. Someone getting to close to comfort, just throw your hand at their face, dont even need to hit, he will pull back his face and get a bit out of balance and you just run away. You are just using their reflects to get away. Someone graps you? pull towards where his fingers are closing, it's a weak spot, if you got 1 hand free, pull his finger backwards, and Run away. Simple is better. Although a kick to the groan does tend to at least makes it harder to run after someone :D And frying pan to the head is potentially lethal, so dont do that.

Stealing a phone: Worst case scenario, you’ve got an angry dude with a gun outside your door at 3am wanting their phone back. Even worse case, the person you stole it from remotely accesses it and ruins your life …🙃

Sensei Seth and his sidekick Squeak the Floor

I gotta say the throwing something as a distraction really isn't bad, it's a very natural reflex for any person to try and catch things and in that time is definitely perfect to say ring their ears if you can, or maybe just run, idk very situational how it plays out from there but that's pretty solid for just an every day person when you're not Bruce Lee or John Rambo, and an item like change, your phone, wallet, whatever is not as important as your life

Well the first one is actually not too bad, it is raising the attention on awareness, which is one important aspect of selfdefense

5:22 true plus if the adrenaline's running I just go huh that kinda hurts idk just my experience

I lost it at the underwear snap. LMAAAOOO!!!!!!

Dude ur so funny keep it up

Good message from my trainer. Train till gokuform. Yeah. A good message. But being working and training 90% of the outsidetime nobody get the chance to meet me.

That one where she grabs her arm and does a guiletttene I was like thats a steven segal move.

I feel safer after watchin this video, because I know Sensei Seth is always there to protect us from stupid "self defense tips"! =)

I think you greatly overestimate how valuable my life is.

The creaking floor soothes me.

Who walks around town and not have pocket sand??? (Icy Mike's Warrior Xpro Flashlight can be used as pocket sand as it gives same effect). Or just coins or change that one has in their pockets. I make a point to have pocket sand at all times with me.

"Get off KZfaq, but after this video." Lmao sure

btw the ziptie hack will actually works but you need something really skinny to put in between so a hair clip wouldnt work

If someone grabs you, elbow them. Then, immediately grab your prison shank 🤣

Ive never had my wrists ziptied but I have removed zipties like this so I wouldnt waste them. Its not that hard to do but its not as simple as they make it look, and it would be very difficult to do with your mouth especially under stress. If your hands are behind you though that would be impossible.

i'm kind of wondering what the proper way of moving out of a hair pull is. but I think manipulating the opponent's elbow would be a start, not the wrist, (unless you go for a pinky grab to weaken the hold) also replying on the groin shot: I accidentally kicked someone in the balls during a spar, I don't remember what kick I utilized, but i'm pretty sure it was a hook kick. needless to say, he was in pain, kneeling over the floor and I was apologizing since I didn't mean to hit him there. but because when you're sparring and moving, you're more likely to miss the intended location. so it could be pretty effective in a real fight if you land a hit purposely.

I'm such a Tomboy I don't even think I have a nail file in my house lol. I never have lip stick, make up, perfume or any of that stuff in my backpack. I did, however play hockey and baseball for several years, so I may be rough, tough and hard to diaper, but I honestly don't know how to throw someone over my shoulder, or get myself into some of these situations. If someone knocks my knapsack, I just move on. I'm Canadian though, I probably would say sorry, then move on lol. I don't get how some of the women in these 'situations' get the kick or whatever in, then stick around to do something else, the minute I could get free, I'm gone! lol Good video!

Me: resting from painting the entire house Sensei Seth: 1:00

The real takeaway from this is that pocket sand is always the answer.
