In a real fight the chances of getting cut with a knife are high even if you are an accomplished martial artist, martial arts will help you escape with you life intact but sometimes it is unavoidable as all fights are unpredictable.
he defends himself against 3 attackers, but he's got 20 - 25 years plus experience, how does this help someone who hasnt even been in a fight before? or any number of the inexperienced people watching this video that might be fooled into thinking 3 people facing you with knives can be easily won over and then gets promptly stabbed and robbed? heres an idea
PUNCH ONE LOCK YOUR CAR AGAIN AND RUN OFF ? and thats coming from someone who has done martial arts his whole life why risk losing your life
@kungfufreddy I agree, I've done martial arts for 9 years now, but my teachers have always said, if they have a knife, let them cut your arm instead of something important, Which makes sense really.
Chris is a great martial artist and a presenter, but i met him once at a martial arts convention. i bought a copy of crudelli on crime and asked him to sign it after waiting patiently for about 10 minuets, he just completely blanked me. i guess the message is, never meet your heroes.
this was a funny movie for kids to watch. i just finished watching it online at themovieinsider info/kickass its good quality to if any one wants to see it
Ok I am not saying that Chris Crudelli is a fake because he is not. But you have to admit that this video looks almost extremely fake. What do I mean about that? I mean that, if you cant even do it against kindly training partners. Then how can you do it on the street against real attackers? Take a dam good look at this vid, do you really think Chris would have made it with these moves? I dont think so...
hiya people just thought i say a few words. first of i,m not a grand master of any one martial art style i have trained in more than a few and i am a skilled fighter in the fact that if one or more people tryed to rob me i would be able to take them out with out a great deal of worry. 2nd the people who dis the like of chris crudelli r the same people who sit and play tekken for a year then think they can do kung fu. 3rd This is a demo thats why its slow thats why his moves are so deliberit.
Whilst I think Chris has reasonable martial arts skills, his methods show they are rooted in fantasy with little appreciation of extreme violence. His whole concept of distance, attacking tempo and fight range makes him more fantasy-based than reality-based. Anyone who knows real violence can spot this.
Crudhshifter - Based on what I have seen I would rather train with likes of Rich Dimitri, Lee Morrison, Geoff Thompson, Steve Morris, Terry O'Neill, Tony Cecchine, Sammy Franco, Jim Wagner, Vladmir Vasiliev, Bas Rutten, Oleg Taktarov... I don't wish to be disrepectful to Chris but he if he wants to submit a video of him doing serious reality-based training then I'd be the first to watch and offer an unreserved apology if justified.
This is just a demo, Kung Fu encapsulates a lot more than you seem to understand. It's not all about reality fighting (nor fantasy fighting, or fighting full stop). Chris is very good at his martial art. I've trained with him and Kung Fu is a big part of my life, so I know.
Crudshifter - I know Chinese gong-fu very well. I have been involved in fighting arts for over 27 years, lived, studied and trained in the Far East. I have every respect for someone seriously studying Chinese martial arts in its purest form but I distinguish that person from someone who wants to survive the savage violence of a relentless gang attack. Chris claims he has real fight experience but its not obvious from the way he communicates and what he chooses to publish.
Why would anyone else want to do that? If you cannot understand the distinctions being made you have no serious background in combat systems and definitely no street experience. Real violence is ugly and horrific. Look up the people I mentioned, attend one of their seminars and get informed.
All I'm saying is.. Chris is a fantastic fighter. I would put money on him kicking pretty much everyones ass on here (mine included). So i don't get why people are slagging him off.
clashcityrocker2007 - "fantastic fighter"? To the best of my knowledge Chris has not established himself in competitive sports fighting such as MMA, boxing, kickboxing / thai boxing, greco-roman / freestyle etc. Also I have seen no evidence which demonstrates that he has done security and close-protection work for a sustained period. Although he is a knowledgeable martial artist and may be a highly-skilled I feel there are less media friendly self-defence exponents with demonstrable records.
So what if he hasnt....? Its not like it's him here arguing that he is an amazing fighter. Its me arguing that fact. And thats just from what I know. Chances are you are right. But still... nothing you have said gives YOU the right to say he is shit. because he is probably a better fighter than you.
clashcityrocker2007 - I believe my comments are fair . The STREET is nothing like a contest or a martial arts fest, it is terrifyingly CHAOTIC with broken bottles, gangs, knives, guns, threats - alongside repercussions and a not too understanding legal system. Resultantly, my informational and training resources come from other places. I'm sure Chris teaches a good hybrid Chinese and Southeast Asian system but I train for what I fear.
You talk to me like i havent lived lol.. I know exactly what the "Street" is like. And i also know how far alot of people thin kthey can get by purely bluffing their way through situations. Intimidation is what most people rely on.. its natural. But when you dont expect to have a challenge accepted things can change really quickly.
clashcityrocker2007 - I learned some years ago the importance of imtimidating thugs at a a visceral level if they start getting too close. The most violenct mobsters used this to great effect. The only difference between wanton-brutality and self-defence is to have judgement, a set of ethics and be lawful.
Well im going from personal experience.. Im not trying to big myself up or sound "hard" but ive been about got in a few scraps. In those situations i found that standing up to the attacker worked out alot better for me. Most of the time they would get physical and i would hit back, or restrain them and then they would walk away ( while shouting lots of abuse) but its the fact that because i sometimes look an easy target, they are shocked to find out im not..giving me the advantage
clashcityrocker2007 - Whilst I don't doubt you have had physical altercations, if you experienced real-hardcore violence you would not talk the way you do. I have never had a single attacker, not once, not ever . Scum come in numbers, high on intoxicants, armed and will be on you like a pack of wolves. You will barely get to fire a punch or kick because you will be taken to the ground and stomped within seconds. You clearly don't live in a tough neighbourhood.
Ye I can see what your saying , and i have had it liek that before. But you have to admit that having some knowledge of a fighting art stands you in better stead than non at all. No matter what the combat art is.
clashcityrocker2007 - environmental awareness and mindset are the building blocks of self-defence. Technique is very secondary. If you get the order wrong you will find yourself in open water with sharks circling. Its not a pleasant experience, I've been there.
If you ask me the things chris's teaches here are...environmental awareness and mindset. Hes doesnt tell you how to do the moves he uses. And what i stated above was that a sturdy and posotive mindset will catch a potential attacker off guard. It really if just very basic physcology.
You cant be serious!? Chris is a mess of a fighter, for proof checkout the kick ass moves episode were he gets owned by korean soap stars! assuming watching him in action like this doesnt make this fact obvious already. lol blind baby seals could take him.
P.s. I really enjoy the kick ass series, just because I love watching bad kung fu as much as good kung fu.
Thats fair enough, I haven't found a clip of his ass-kicking at the hands of actors yet but will video respond as soon as I do. I'm not saying you aren't intitled to your opinion, after all I haven't seen Chris in the flesh or trained with him so its aleast theoretically possible that he isnt a deluded wet-blanket. on a side note; he has clearly spent alot of time learning quite alot and isnt completley out of shape, so is probably better than the average joe.
The moves that chris demonstrates here are possibly hyperthetical.
but alot of the basic blocks and restraints he uses are simple to learn.
Think about basic psychology, If you attack someone with a knife.the last thing you would expect them to do is fight back
By fighting back you manage to catch the mugger off guard.The knife is really a bluff they hardly ever intend on using it. so they dont know what they are doign when they have to. making their wild swings easy to avoid and counter
I like Chris Crudelli but I did laugh when watching this for the first time. "I don't know if he has a knife so I will just beat the hell out of him anyway. Oh and use the door a few times" :P
Awsome video. Don't know if a street fight would look quite like that (or with that many flashy moves) but Chris still knows his stuff, and is a great entertainer and martial artist. The most useful tips was that of escaping. Very nice and funny .
Are all those flashy kicking moves really necessary in a bar fight? To onlookers it'll look like you started the fight. A simple joint lock will suffice (after all he is drunk so it's easier). No one will know what happened.
Never get close to knifes if you haven't received special training, it's far too dangerous and in real life it'll be much harder to catch the guys arm, since he'll probably stab at you repeatedly and quickly.
No his techniques are perfect, its reflexes and confidence u need, technique without reflex is pointless, if u have reflex and confidence u can do it !
No offence to anyone, but that seemed pretty fake- the block-kick-punch routine works in demonstrations, but in real life? And are criminals stupid(like the mugger at start)- they are just gonna let you try your killer kung fu on them?
If you read articles/books by professional bodyguards/bouncers like Peter Consterdine, Marc Animal McYoung, you'll know how unrealistic this is.
BUT this video is totaly useless, may be that running in streets par is good, but other is just crap, for someone ho never done martial art or sport is this soo a lot of new stuff and physical readiness, they cant make it, watch rader bass ruthen lethal street fighting system then crudelli, bas explanes move by move from various angles, and he gives some really great advices, his moves are proven by UFC and street
This is absolutely ridiculous! I hope that this is making fun of some of the other self defense videos out there, but I have a funny feeling it isn't....Frightening.
Well who know what the robber/thieves wants either ur life and ur possession. Someone taking from you is like taking another life from you, and this folks is reality
not the moves/stil is important its simply your body fitnis and exept the pain of a hit in a real fight. in a real fight you get ever a hit, so you must exept this ,because when you exept this, you feel no fear, because you only feel fear because of that...
Crudelli is awesome... Since watching all of the Mind, Body & Kick Ass Moves episodes I wish I had studied Kung Fu rather than boxing, although the show taught me a few cool techniques that sort of overlap... Cheers Chris!! hehehe
Chris has got a new programme called Kick Ass Miracles out at the moment. Its on cable/sky on Channel Dave.
Pretty much like the original programe in format but concentrates more on the amazing thing that can be done by those that harness the power of chi and the like.
very usefull but i think last attack to the balls was a bit u know non martial arts just a bit of a chavy attack chris is cool but come on MARTIAL ARTS u gota use them and be a respectful fighter and the show the other person up lol what if the one he kicked had developed the iron penis then that attack is useless
In real life, you do anything to keep yourself on top of the game. Anything that works in the situation, from hair pulling, to eye gouging to kicking the nuts. It's life matey.
sorry for upsetting u i think chris is great but foul fighting just shows your a stupid chav !!!!!! anyway nice to talk to u kinda talk well argue lol
Rocker, while I agree with you in that I wouldn't do it and I never have. It is however a VERY martial arts thing to do, various martial arts masters learn to retract their genitals into their stomachs (not literally) to raise them away from a strike to the region. Various Kung Fu styles along with other styles avoid high kicks to not leave the area exposed. Genital strikes are also one of the ideal spots in bladed arts, so iron penis is more like shreded penis ;P
yer i no all that stuff martial arts is great but i was just stating that being chris crudeli he could of done alot more thats martial arts for u dont show everything but i guess he is only showing this to help people in a sticky situation lol
Next time I deal with three armed thugs, I want them to queue patienly while I thrash them one by one. Chris Would you mind to teach me the technique to convince to do so?
ok i love chris but this is preposterous, but it did give some optimism on some aspects.like the running from the chicks. but not to many drunken bar people can karate chop.
agreed, i like chris too, but i dunno, it's all very clean, isn't it? But then again, he does say not to try it at home, so, you know, guess its not all that important. don't get me wrong, though, I wouldn't fuck with him.
It seems to me like a lot of those moves can only be done if you are a good fighter (like the blocks or whatever). I don't think I would be able to do that in the situations. I might just get knifed.. (I am not a fighter)
blackrosewhitewolf. Can only people who have posted their training videos comment on other peoples? I've given my opinion here and it is what it is, regardless of whether I've had 2 months training or 20 years training.
ehem I have used something similar to the chase seen only it was a car going back and forth on the highway when I was walking, the car went and did a u turn as I ran into the hood and up the 1st driveway and layed down on some steps as the car turned in and went passed me,turned around,went back out the highway, who knows maybe he wanted to try out his new pistol
Chris needs to make a real action movie, now that! I would pay to see over a jet li movie anyday. he's humor mixed with professional martial arts is amzing
riiight... KidEVIL comics, because amongst all your Jedi videos I'm sure you've had some serious training there and I'm sure you're just as famour for your skill as Crudelli is.
"Yes - that's right, in only two minutes of TV viewing you too can learn how not to give over the keys, but instead safely initiate and take down 3-on-1 attackers all armed with knives(!)"
Please Please Please no one ever try this in real life. First of all a lot of these moves are unrealistic. The guy shows the knife, then just throws a slow stab out there and waits for you to disarm him, while the other guy runs at you slowly waiting for you to kick him? In this situation you would be MUCH better off just giving the guy your keys, or jumping in your car and taking off. If you try this in real life, you will most likely be stabbed to death.
I think this is a slowed down version intended for martial artists, not your everyday person on the street... I think what he was trying to get across was the two attackers after the first one come out right after their mate was taken down, and if they have knives, you might not want to risk getting in the car and sitting down... it takes a few seconds to start it up and shift into drive, as I'm sure you know. In those few seconds they could break the glass and slash you up a bit.
I agree with the previous comments. I LMAO when he didn't get in the car, but decided to take on two dudes with knives!!??...hillarious....although I must admit he'd kick my ass.
Why is it that some people think that anybody who criticises somebody like chris MUST be a teenager who doesn't know what he's talking about? Chris isn't the only guy on the planet whos been studying for most of his life and people like me are far more qualified to question his work than people like you are to question my experience. you've zero basis for assuming that i don't know what i'm talking about.
I love how a bunch of internet kids think they know better than a man who has studied his art every day since he was ten years old. You think he gets go be on BBC through bullshitting? NO. He knows what he is talking about, you don't.
Ignore the bloody keyboard warriors, if you train long enough with a realistic attitude & genuine intent, youre going to make progress no matter what your style.The bottom line is that he can defend himself much better than if he had not trained at all.
iamleeman, 'most likely choreographed'??? get real man of course it is. NightIllidan, sure certain techniques from any style/system will work but that doesn't mean that ANYTHING works for certain people.
2nd rule: he forgets that when people get scared they get uncoordinated and will probably fail in any attempt at disarming a knife. better to run away if you can. but the best thing is to follow rule 1 and dont let yourself get caught out by doing dumb things.
At 0:56 second, you think a guy would show you his knife first before he stabs you? Or at 1:24, a guy would throw a stab at you knowing that you'll counter? His likely to tackle you, or pull on your shit, if he keeps his distance close enough, you'll get repeately stabbed. Lesson of the day-give him the car keys.
"you think a guy would show his knife first before he stabs you?" Off Course!! He is muggin a guy. He shows his knife to scare him into giving him the keys. If you'r a robber, you want the goods, not become a murderer. That's to much heat on you later to. Don't see why you want to diss this guy so badly. he's just trying to help people. and as he says. first rule is to run away. But some times u got to fight. Fuck man! I wouldn't givin my car to some crackpot!
im not dissing this guy, just saying how unrealistic his moves are. The first guy tried to mug him with a knife, I said, "just give him the car key", you don't want to get stabbed. But I said "a guy who wants to stab you wouldn't show his knife first". Just finish watching the clip, the two other guy who came up later didn't want to mug him, they tried to stab him, and that's why I said they wouldn't want to show their knife.
man.. out of all of Chris's videos, look starting from 1:00, on how long the guy with the knife stalls on Chris.. You don't think that guy would've reacated like 5 second faster, reverse grabbed Chris, and stabbed the shit out of him, or tackled him to the car?
Whats your point greggyboy. For starters WHY can't he give a realistic self defence demonstration? And to follow WHY do you think that nobody else who might offer critique on chis' programmes could know what they are talking about? The force that the car door is moving with is irrelevant. The point is not how people would react to his strikes but how a person might react when recieving the attacks that he is simulating.
stop fucking dissing him. he cant do everything as if he was ACTUALLY about to be killed or attacked... hes not using full force with the car door or anything.
the first part might work, but when two guys jumps you with a knife, don't take a chance, "give him the keys". I've practiced martial art for 10 years and I'm confident enough to beat all 3 of these guys, if not all at once, one at a time. But getting stabbed is not worth the car keys.
Based on that alone I think the demonstration is laughable but throw in the fact that he's sold this show as self defence 101 for the uninitiated and the demonstration becomes dangerously misleading.
The fact that its a demo is not the point. I don't believe that the techniques being demonstrated will EVER be the safest and most effective techniques to apply in these situations.
Guys its just a demo. Before we learn anything theres always a demo right? Then once you learn then it helps you how to react to different situations out there.
Very entertaining... that's it. Too choreographed, too fake, too ineffective.
In my martial art we get taught knife defenses, but honestly I doubt they'd work. Best knfie defense, IMHO, is to extend your reach with a stick and strike the wrist. And even then, I doubt the effectiveness of such a technique
traditional martial arts are nothing more than what the name implies...arts. mma and all that entails are far more effective in a street fight situation.
Mixed martial arts are also arts, to the exact same capacity as traditional martial arts. There is nothing in one that you cannot find in the other, the difference is merely how you train. The end result is the same: good, for people who have chosen the right style for them, and not so good, for people who have not. One's own interests and one's instructor are the key ingredients.
I agree with you completely DonGwinn. Teamdna, I think that you might as well teach them nothing rather than teach them something that doesn't work. Teaching somebody ineffective techniques is only going to give them a false sense of security and thats even more dangerous than a guy with a knife.
His prices will come down when some of his students get mugged and get killed trying to apply his ridiculous techniques against a knife. This would be laughable if people weren't going to get hurt or worse.
I don't think this guy has any place teaching self defense with the techniques he's demonstrating here. Apart from the simple kick-in-balls techniques none of them are going to be workable. The knife work he's teaching here is going to get people killed and that chase section was a joke.
yeah, maybe you can teach them nothing, thát's gonna get them killed. well anyway, I am not an expert when it comes to fighting against a knife so you might be right...

clashcityrocker2007 - environmental awareness and mindset are the building blocks of self-defence. Technique is very secondary. If you get the order wrong you will find yourself in open water with sharks circling. Its not a pleasant experience, I've been there.
Huangshen 1 year ago
If you ask me the things chris's teaches here are...environmental awareness and mindset. Hes doesnt tell you how to do the moves he uses. And what i stated above was that a sturdy and posotive mindset will catch a potential attacker off guard. It really if just very basic physcology.

@clashcityrocker2007
You cant be serious!? Chris is a mess of a fighter, for proof checkout the kick ass moves episode were he gets owned by korean soap stars! assuming watching him in action like this doesnt make this fact obvious already. lol blind baby seals could take him.
P.s. I really enjoy the kick ass series, just because I love watching bad kung fu as much as good kung fu.

Thats fair enough, I haven't found a clip of his ass-kicking at the hands of actors yet but will video respond as soon as I do. I'm not saying you aren't intitled to your opinion, after all I haven't seen Chris in the flesh or trained with him so its aleast theoretically possible that he isnt a deluded wet-blanket. on a side note; he has clearly spent alot of time learning quite alot and isnt completley out of shape, so is probably better than the average joe.
Donkyfishy 2 years ago
The moves that chris demonstrates here are possibly hyperthetical.
but alot of the basic blocks and restraints he uses are simple to learn.
Think about basic psychology, If you attack someone with a knife.the last thing you would expect them to do is fight back
By fighting back you manage to catch the mugger off guard.The knife is really a bluff they hardly ever intend on using it. so they dont know what they are doign when they have to. making their wild swings easy to avoid and counter

Never get close to knifes if you haven't received special training, it's far too dangerous and in real life it'll be much harder to catch the guys arm, since he'll probably stab at you repeatedly and quickly.

No offence to anyone, but that seemed pretty fake- the block-kick-punch routine works in demonstrations, but in real life? And are criminals stupid(like the mugger at start)- they are just gonna let you try your killer kung fu on them?
If you read articles/books by professional bodyguards/bouncers like Peter Consterdine, Marc Animal McYoung, you'll know how unrealistic this is.

RockerAds 4 years ago
Rocker, while I agree with you in that I wouldn't do it and I never have. It is however a VERY martial arts thing to do, various martial arts masters learn to retract their genitals into their stomachs (not literally) to raise them away from a strike to the region. Various Kung Fu styles along with other styles avoid high kicks to not leave the area exposed. Genital strikes are also one of the ideal spots in bladed arts, so iron penis is more like shreded penis ;P

Please Please Please no one ever try this in real life. First of all a lot of these moves are unrealistic. The guy shows the knife, then just throws a slow stab out there and waits for you to disarm him, while the other guy runs at you slowly waiting for you to kick him? In this situation you would be MUCH better off just giving the guy your keys, or jumping in your car and taking off. If you try this in real life, you will most likely be stabbed to death.
jsampras3 4 years ago
I think this is a slowed down version intended for martial artists, not your everyday person on the street... I think what he was trying to get across was the two attackers after the first one come out right after their mate was taken down, and if they have knives, you might not want to risk getting in the car and sitting down... it takes a few seconds to start it up and shift into drive, as I'm sure you know. In those few seconds they could break the glass and slash you up a bit.

At 0:56 second, you think a guy would show you his knife first before he stabs you? Or at 1:24, a guy would throw a stab at you knowing that you'll counter? His likely to tackle you, or pull on your shit, if he keeps his distance close enough, you'll get repeately stabbed. Lesson of the day-give him the car keys.
j124life 4 years ago
"you think a guy would show his knife first before he stabs you?" Off Course!! He is muggin a guy. He shows his knife to scare him into giving him the keys. If you'r a robber, you want the goods, not become a murderer. That's to much heat on you later to. Don't see why you want to diss this guy so badly. he's just trying to help people. and as he says. first rule is to run away. But some times u got to fight. Fuck man! I wouldn't givin my car to some crackpot!
joffe88 4 years ago
im not dissing this guy, just saying how unrealistic his moves are. The first guy tried to mug him with a knife, I said, "just give him the car key", you don't want to get stabbed. But I said "a guy who wants to stab you wouldn't show his knife first". Just finish watching the clip, the two other guy who came up later didn't want to mug him, they tried to stab him, and that's why I said they wouldn't want to show their knife.
j124life 4 years ago
man.. out of all of Chris's videos, look starting from 1:00, on how long the guy with the knife stalls on Chris.. You don't think that guy would've reacated like 5 second faster, reverse grabbed Chris, and stabbed the shit out of him, or tackled him to the car?

Whats your point greggyboy. For starters WHY can't he give a realistic self defence demonstration? And to follow WHY do you think that nobody else who might offer critique on chis' programmes could know what they are talking about? The force that the car door is moving with is irrelevant. The point is not how people would react to his strikes but how a person might react when recieving the attacks that he is simulating.

I'd disagree with you there, actually
1) The lock he used is a lock, it's known in aikido as coutageishi
2) I don't think he was using the term 'knock out' literally, He just meant take him out of the equation.
Perhaps, before you accuse him of being a con, you should try getting 2 of your mates to knife him?
lionhearte 4 years ago
the first part might work, but when two guys jumps you with a knife, don't take a chance, "give him the keys". I've practiced martial art for 10 years and I'm confident enough to beat all 3 of these guys, if not all at once, one at a time. But getting stabbed is not worth the car keys.

Mixed martial arts are also arts, to the exact same capacity as traditional martial arts. There is nothing in one that you cannot find in the other, the difference is merely how you train. The end result is the same: good, for people who have chosen the right style for them, and not so good, for people who have not. One's own interests and one's instructor are the key ingredients.
