instead of wasting time with the half ass palm strikes where these women arent even taught how to properly strike why not just teach them the quick kick to the groin or the kneecap and escape?
Why do you guys act like this won't work? You think they're better off NOT taking the classes? Bunch of idiots you are.. I'd rather have a 20% increase in success than nothing at all.. you guys are acting like if it isn't 100% then don't even bother. This is awesome for girls, gives them confidence and shows them where to hit for maximum pain to a male attacker. Lay off, losers.
I would feel better getting a German Shepherd than I would with these classes. If a person is already going to attack you then saying "leave me alone" probably wouldn't scare them off. While learning not to freeze up is good you need the skills to back it up. And they don't talk about the attacker having a gun or other weapon and what to do in those situations. I have never taken a self defense class but this is really one of the worst examples I have ever seen.
This is really very bad... they clearly don't teach any proper technique here. Just bolstering the confidence of a woman like this can have a negative influence on her safety. I'm afraid that many of the women who take part in classes like these would have a very rude awakening if they are ever attacked.
I honestly don't feel a "Leave me alone" will cut it. It's ashame that these mock scenarios are totally unrealistic and gently staged because these ladies will leave the class feeling overconfident & "ready to go" with a false sense of security, when in reality they are not much more empowered than before they started. Also I feel the instructor leaves a lot to be desired for many reasons. You simply cannot teach self defense techniques in one class. There is no way I would recommend this class.
I agree with you on everything. If a guy is trying to rape you, simply telling him to leave you alone, and hit him with the palm of your hand will do nothing. That guy is ready to beat the girl to near death and tear her clothes off. This class is a joke.
This video is misleading and almost comedic. Self defense cannot be taught in one class and the scenarios are completely unrealistic and "gently" staged. It might make you feel good to listen to the motivational speeches and do some practice but this can only reinforce a false sense of security and even overconfidence. I would hate to see any of these participants feel the sense that "Let's go! I feel great! I'm ready!" when in reality they are not much better off than when they started.
i have trained in various SD classes for 6 years and i have a few comments.
1 kung fu isn't a very effective style in this mordern era, but then agian SD is really a mental thing.
2. Their verbal warning aren't very good, saying no stay away from me sounds like your begging, its better to say DON"T firmly look in their eyes and look aggressive. Also i didn't see anything on imporv weapons, a very important thing in a fight. Still its good to at least take a class. krav maga= better though
i really doubt that this will work. although for the effort, nice. i think it would be better if someone will teach real martial arts to ladies in a way only a few practice will do... just a some useful parts to disarm and escape.
I'm pretty sure why these people were in "football" gear is that they don't wanna risk getting hurt in a demonstration but the way how these girls are defending themselves, there's really no need for them.
I'm sure these instructors have the best of intentions but their training methods are shit. No attacker is going to be scared off by, "Stop. Move away." I mean, come on! Besides, you don't need to teach someone how to tell someone else to piss off. That's something you should have already figured out. Their stance wasn't even intimidating.
The "attackers" they used were baloney too. They did nothing to resist the women and didn't even attack them really. They just fell to the floor.
I do agree that more than one or two classes are needed, but not everyone can devote the time it takes to master a martial art. Ordinary women need to have some way of protecting themselves. Instead of being so critical, why don't you suggest something that would be helpful (other than a gun that is).
assertive attitude IS important (because perdators can sense passivity) but that running palm-heal attack and that muay thai plum kata ( the knee to the imaginary face)only gives these ladies false confidence. I just hope no one gets raped or killed from these irrisponsible classes/youtube posts .
This is one of the most dangerous things I've ever seen. I train and fight mma (jui-jitsu muay thai.) If your not going to learn some Kali or other real weapons skills don't think you as a women can protect yourself or your family from a larger stronger attacker with one or two classes. A stand-up martial art is not an equalizer until you've put in incredible amounts of time.
The problem with these 2 hour classes is that the guy you are training with *WILL* stop when you do it in class. When you attack him, he just moves back, and doesnt even grab against them. I suppose if you really had to test if it worked out, some guy would stalk them home after class for about 20 minutes, and see if they remember anything. If not, then the class didnt work. Self defense is important, and the attitude alone can save you, but people tend to freeze when it matters.
This seems more like a money grabbing McDojo disguised as a proper martial arts school with a facade of elevate language, pretty decor, and fancy equipment.
Nowhere did I see a even a warm-up routine to develop core strength for fighting, and they did not even teach the most BASIC skill of any martial art: breaking a fall.
People need to realize that learning how to fight/self-defence takes years of training. Don't waste your time on black belt in one year gimmick McDojos.
I train in martial arts and I will say this right now, this course will not help. If you really want to make a difference you will have to train for years to perfect movements to make them usefull.
All you need for duperior SD is a well maintained .45 automatic and the knowledge of one discipline of martial arts: I call it the step-back style. It simply involves stepping back enough to draw and fire the weapon point-blank into your attacker's chest or gut. I guarantee you that it will stop him a lot better than this crap.
Americans lost their grit for handling firearms a long time ago. Quite sad. If everyone opened carried, do you think anyone would even come up and give you trouble? Problem today is, someone can get raped in front of a crowd of people and no one will do anything.
No one even thinks of messing with someone shouldering an AR-15 or carrying a .357 on their belt.
My family has responsibly exercised our 2nd Amd. right for generations, no accidents, no close calls AND no robberies or muggings!
It is simply impossible to properly and legitimately learn how to defend yourself from one class. You may learn a few cool techniques, some useful little tricks, but one class does not make you prepared to defend yourself in all situations. What are the key points on a guy, for you girls? Crotch. Not tapping his face, that's going to motivate him to punch your nose right off. Unless you've been training for like ten years in a legitimate martial art, you need to focus on buying time to RUN.
self defense for woman? please i could take out any girl provided she isnt a professional fighter. her main attacks would be the mace, then the shin to the balls, then the nail in the eye. finally, biting and breaking the fingers. if a girl hit my face 20 times i'd just be 20 times more pissed.
whta women should really do is work out get strong and carry knives around with them i carry my pocket knife everywhere because chances are this guy will be very strong and you cant get away.
ROFL!!!!!! Nice one Freeze. What is with women and these stupid and useless self-defense courses. I'm not sure, but from the looks of it it seems pretty powerless. All I have to do is kick them when there doing those chain palms and there goes all those hours of training.
wow this self defense seminar has absoultly NO realistic aspects to it. The instructors do a terrible job of showing the actual realistic aspect of self defense. You shouldn't be laughing if you're being mugged.
sometimes too much confidence makes you arrogant, and it can be dangerous b/c when a women is really confronted with a man who wants to harm her, she might really intimidate him with words feeling too confident.
I personally think women should just take regular karate or tae kwan do classes, i think they offer more intense trainings anyway
...or take a real class with some more serious realistic training, it may scare you to think about but chances are if a guy gets this close, throwing your hands in his face is just going to make him mad. yes, even PUNCHING him with FULL FORCE in the FACE is going to simply piss him off!
Learning ow to properly use and care for firearms is a superior method of SD. There is nothing wrong with close-quarters combat techniques, but you would be safer if there was space between the victim and the aggressor. That can be achieved with a firearm.
I prefer that a responsible woman shoot a rapist instead of the opposite. A gun can be the equalizer in a woman's battle. Also, scratching people with keys does nothing but infuriate them.
Utter non-sense! Talking like that to the attacker is not only stupid, but dangerous! That is just going to aggrivate the attacker even more and make the situation worse!! If they really want to attack you, do you think they will back off if you tell them to? Nooooo way Jose!!
I also learn self-defense, and study martial arts, but honestly, I know its not going to protect me 100%. The best form of self-defense is to avoid the situation.
Self defense means a firearm. Their main advantage is that they don't need to be within arms reach to disable the assailant. It's good to know some basic moves should it ever get to hand to hand, but overall, pulling a firearm should be your first line of defense.
And, if an attacker is ever able to take YOUR gun and use it on YOU, it's a sure bet survival wasn't your first priority anyway. Get a gun and know how to use it.
ive seen this before it makes women think that when some guy comes up that wieghs twice as much as her she thinks she can embarrass him and just kick his ass. then hes just grads her hand and punches her in the face what they really need to do in that kind of situtation is run away and yell to try to get other peoples attention so they will see what is going on. i mean look at what they where teaching them? face push with your hand??? anyone could just grab that mid air i agree with dr
My background is TKD, kendo, jujitsu/aikido, retired street cop. DrHMFIC is correct. I would recommend a krav maga type program for my daughters. No one was laughing and smiling and having a good time in my training days. This is powderpuff...will get you killed.
I do learn self-defense, but I think there is a bit of BS in this video. Being confident to the attacker like "No, step back..." is just gonna make the attacker more furious, and would just go crazy on you. Honestly, for myself, even with Martial Arts training, I have been attacked before, luckily enough to escape. But this is never gonna protect you 100%. The best rule for self-defense is to avoid the situation. But then again, you dont know how, when or where you can be attacked.
but why would you smack their hand. and This kind of training doesn't seem realistic, the attacher just goes with it when they get counter-attacked. they would fight back also. not just move back.
That's what I don't like about self defense videos like these the attackers are just static, they "threaten" and then just stand there and let you attack...
Why all the negative comments about how this is not real martial arts or the women here cant fight? watch at 2:39 she even says its about CONFIDENCE and positive reinforcement. These women take a class to learn the basics not become the next olmypic tkd champ or anything so listen and dont just watch the video and to all moms keept at it! :)
I'm a high dan instructor with 40 years of international coaching and self defense training of officers & guards & this course is aweful and sets an illusion of security!
I think these women need to look at the ancient Chinese acupuncture body map, and read the book of Sun Tzu, before taking that class. I have a few broken bones and teeth, a bunch of slashes, a bullet wound, a broken nose, and my body still holds a few shrapnels. A woman acting like that is the ultimate excuse for an attacker to unleash all his testosterone in an insane organized rage. This is not a martial arts class, this is some scam support group generating false security.
Stupid, stupid! These Women wouldn't last five minutes in a real martial arts class. This 'Stop,No leave me alone is bull', if you are being attacked do you REALLY think a person will leave you alone if they want you harmed? My advice? Get a concealed weapons permit, pass the class. Guns will empower you and save your life! My final two words: Buy a gun!
As senior instructor with International recognition for over 30 years training thousands of self defense students law enforcement & prison gaurds. the "voice commands" only take you so far I saw NO correction of these very LAME "leave me alone"s come on you so-called instructors! The way you train IS the way you will react! get together with people really skilled enough to put you to the test - not these hacks... I agree they're endangering with false security should not be promoted.
I agree this is really, BAD training mixed with a few (very few) good things by apparent amatures who definatly IMHO are wearing "pretend" black belts.
Sorry to be so harsh - put it's the truth - this program is obviously sadly lacking!!!
listen sweethearts, if you wanna stop a rapist or a thug just go for the balls. thats it. don't listen to the gibber jabber this lesbo is dishing out. Kick the balls, grab the balls, squeeze and twist...then RUN. thats it! class dismissed.
Are you kidding me?? "leave me alone!" hmmm there is no reasoning with an attacker, if a grown man wants to hurt you he will do so. The "attacks" also seem so weak, I do not even think that one of those hits will even phase an attacker. Like many users have already said, there is a false sense of security in these classes.
Using your wrist like could give you injury too. And I am friends with 3 black belts in karate, how they show the women in this video to fight back is, pretty much, not effective in any way...
WTF? no leave me alone? Yea that will for sure stop a drugged-out mugger. You need to a.) Run, or b.) Use a no bounds rule and do whatever you need to do to take him down. This yelling and palm strikes is bullshit
If one of these girls tried the "Stop..Leave me alone" thing followed by a lame kick to the groin, I could picture the attacker simply flipping her over his knee and giving her a good spanking.
I agree with those that say these types of courses can do more harm than good. Take real martial arts training, not this false confidence building crap.
Utter nonsense. Maybe not a scam, as the instructor appears to believe her own BS. Attacker won't care about an "I am woman" pc-statement.
I've 42 years of martial arts training, instructor experience, and REAL combative experience. Real-life attackers don't watch videos of pretend-attackers to determine how they'll NOT REALLY attack.
What if the bastard punches you HARD in the face as you're nicely saying "leave me alone"?
This class ENDANGERS women with false sense of security.
If someone is assaulting you, YOU become the aggressor, starting with screaming like a fucking maniac and accepting that you WILL be taking some hits as you do everything you can to at least leave marks on the bastard.
Once an attacker demonstrates willingness to violate YOUR boundaries, you drop the woman-trying-to-avoid-confrontation programming. The confrontation is ALREADY ON.
Total scam, though the perpetrators may actually believe their own BS.
With over 42 years of martial arts training AND actual combative experience (e.g., I'm 56: attacked by 4 20-something's two years ago...fought them off despite 2 broken ribs. One needed the other 3 helping him get away). When it's not a pretend-attacker, an "I am Woman" pc-statement of "leave me alone" won't mean crap, and the response will be a punch as hard as he can to your face.
I'm 11 instead of doing karate I just do my own strategy:poke them in the eyes as hard as you can then kick them in the "private" as hard as you can then RUN LIKE HELL. You see the eyes are the most sensative body part on all humans so if u poke them in the eyes hard enough they cant see. the private spot is the second. if u hurt eyes and the other place I doubt the guy will still be chasing u
I'm very skeptical about this. With 30 years of martial arts behind me, including a 3rd Degree in TKD from a Korean master, you'd be better off with Gracie Jiu Jitsu. The problem is that these attackers in this video aren't attacking at all. An attacker is not passive like this. Further, the voice commands should be based on NLP and not the kinds of things a child would say. I've seen a 90 pound woman choke out a cocky karate black belt in 25 seconds! How? Gracie Jiu Jitsu.
I happen to agree with you, although I don't think i've heard of "gracie" jiu jitsu. never the less i agree an attacker would not be so passive and further more they could learn a thing or two about the pressure points in the body, you can disable an attacker with less force that way.
notice that the head gear they wear is always really scary. i wonder if thats on purpose?...probably. this is a good video and i not a mom or a woman. the girls featured in it seemed fun!
"ok just because the guy has big muscles doesnt mean he is hard to take out. Watch some MMA fights where small fighters took out big fighters. It will show you the big muscles doesnt mean you are immortal and the ultimate fighter."
how often have you won a fight against a bigger opponent? I dont mean by 10~15 lbs. I mean by 30~50 lbs. Seriously, it's hard as hell. your best bet is just do sprint training and get helluva fast (guns work too). That or put on weight. I like the second option
Krav Maga is like, military stuff where you're trying to kill someone. though i do agree, palm thrusts to the hand? (nose perhaps?) and knees to the gut are only so effective, and also very basic. i could probably come up with better things on my own.
HAHAHA this is hillarious. Stop No leave me alone.....that does not work. Seriously these classes would give the thugs somtehing to laugh about while they distribute the purse finding amongst their friends LOLOLOLOL
Learning karate chops from a 3 hour self defense class will do nothing but get you killed if you are attacked. Thugs train as fighters from an early age. A "palm" will only piss them off. My self defense technique involves proper selection of clothing. Wear something thick enough to absorb and deflect attacks. If you can sew, stitch together several layers of fabric (10 or more). When I walk bad streets wearing MY clothing armor, people actively avoid me because I dont look like a VICTIM.
This is simply another martial arts scam in the system. Showing several very basic techniques while completing missing the whole of fighting. If moms really want to learn to defend themselves, study your Jeet Kune Do, take some combative classes and learn how to fight with knife and stick.
Self-defense practice is fine for self-development, but practitioners need to be aware of being lulled into a false sense of security, arrogance even, that will inevitably get them in needless trouble. It is very difficult to best a person who is hell bent on harming you, especially if he is bigger. I know from experience. That said, I applaud the practitioners who are trying to come to terms with a harmful world.
The problem I see here is that every scenario is gently staged and completely non realistic. The "guys" in the padded suits are trained to "go easy" on these clients & this is dangerous as this will give them a false sense of security and perhaps overconfidence. Unless they can overcome their fear & manage their adrenaline rush to their advantage the attacker who is probably stronger and bigger with a ready to hurt attitude will win every time especially if he has a weapon. That's the reality.
Thanks Alice. I hope some of the practical comments here can bring a reality check to any women who is considering taking a "self defense" course such as the propaganda video here.
You notice all of the instructors blather on about "empowering" the women...because that's all the classes are really about; the chance of these soccermoms having to defend themselves from violence is very small. Which is fortunate, as I hope they never find out how bad their training is. Chasing a focus mitt across the room and kneeing a guy who doesn't hit back will not prepare you for real violence. But none of these women want to have to keep fighting after they get punched in the nose.
you know, you don't need brute strength to defend yourself unarmed because attackers come in any size: big, small, muscular, skinny, etc. and if your self-defense techniques don't work against a big guy then you probably: not trying, doing it wrong, or you absolutely suck at self-defense.
Somehow I can't imagine any of these women actually beating up any guy that's going to mug her or something. Just look at how skinny thier arms are! But it's really cool how they teach people how to defend themselves.
Self Defense is good but I don't think you should teach someone to go after someone. The first thing is to create distance, maintain distance not stand your ground. Hit and Run. But at least they are trying to learn something.
wow, alot of nay sayers on here. I'd say this is a good start for a timid person. Yes it's not the final solution in a real life and death struggle. Nothing says leave me alone and I'm serious as much as a personal firearm does however. Let the politicians know you have a right to self defense and city laws banning firearms are illegal, unconstitutional and dangerous to society. Gun restriction only empower criminals more. Don't goto a gun fight with palm strikes. Criminals don't care about law.
Asian martial arts generally require strict trainning, deadening of nerves/hardening of bones. From punches, to elbows, knees, and kicks, also the way their bodies are, they won't be generating much power even if they are using palm strikes, knees, or elbows. Either way though, good luck to them.
tae kwan do and karate ain't worth a damn. go to a fully accredited fighting academy and learn muy thai and brazilian jiu jitsu. you will be the toughest man woman or child walking the streets and even royce gracie can't funk witchu
I've taken Tae Kwon Do, and what you REALLY need is an automatic responce...FOr example, in the karate movies, someone sneaks up on you and you throw them over your shoulder. What I do is punch or elbow you.
Just try those palmstrikes at your husband. Hes gonna laugh and grab your arms and easyly hold you down. It doesnt matter how sure of youself you are, you cant overcome the power of a 200 pound man unless you hit hard enough to knock him out... and you´ll only have time for 1 punch if even that before he punches back and its goodnight. You dont learn selfdefence in 20 min, perhaps 20 months if you do nothing but train all day
OMG fighting whit pams ??? If you shoud fight like that you need alot of power in those hits ,woman dont have much power.If some 150 Kl guy is in front of here what pawn atack :D
ok just because the guy has big muscles doesn't mean he is hard to take out. Watch some MMA fights where small fighters took out big fighters. It will show you the big muscles doesn't mean you are immortal and the ultimate fighter.
They took out those bigger fighters because they may have learn a style the other guy has not. That's why it's call MMA. In MMA you learn three sometimes four styles. Standing, ground,Clinch, and weapon. So your going to tell me one of those women is going to take down some who has worked there whole lives at what they do RIGHT. ;)
Not everyone is interested in taking martial arts and therefore self-defense classes is the next best thing. In such classes one can learn to be aware of surroundings and be more confident. Someone that is confident and willing to fight has a better chance of escaping than someone that will lay down and take it. Not everyone is going to carry a gun. Voice defense has been known to work.
But if you break someone's nose, and the police arrive, it's nice if the witnesses tell the cops that you were screaming "no! stop!" and not "IM GONNA KILL YOU!"
I have to say i disagree with this video.unfortuantly there are a lot of Self defense or Martial Arts that are mainly Too Mystical or focused on tradition instead of training someone to defend themselves.
My reccomendation would be to Take up these Three Styles,Brazillian Jiu Jitsu:a martial art that deals with Groundwork,how to escape most positions on the ground ect,Muay Thai Kickboxing:a discipline that deald with reaction and precision in strikes
Please do not believe what they teach in the filme. Ladys, I am a Martial art master, and I alost teach self-defence. In this filme, the only thing correct is you have to practice. however, too many mistakes in this filme. Please, be careful the situation what they set up while practicing. It is not so sample in the reality.
This is DANGEROUS, giving a false sense of security to women in a 20 minute class.
Nothing beats having a gun and a cellphone. The problem with ALL martial arts is that you dont have a REAL person trying to hurt you, you have some wimpy guy trying to not hurt the classmate
Try running three miles and THEN try this "defense". The adrenaline and shortness of breath will simulate what you REALLY feel like in a situation like that. Cant throw a punch any more, can you?
Dude, did she just said something about Indonesian Kungfu ? hahaha, lol. . . iam Indonesian and I dont even know what is she doing ? But, there are really exist some sort of original Indonesian martial art which is very dangerous and deadly, but its not really popular in the world. this art called as Pencak Silat, combination between martial art and magic, legend said that its even capable to dodge a bullet.
i don't think this style of fight will work unless they are aiming at the nose with their palm because there is a pressure point at the nose and getting in the stomach will knock the air out of you.
I am a 26 year martial arts vet, I thought everything here looked pretty sound...a woman can defend herself against a man if she has the proper attitude and knows how to commit fully and with her body weight...a baseball bat is a not very heavy piece of wood until someone swings it with commitment, even a 6 year old swinging it as hard as he can can cripple you with a shot to the knee with a bat. Same with a woman..if she commits herself with sound training, she can hurt you, NEVER underestimate
What about when she meets a man who has the proper attitude and knows how to commit fully with his body weight? Wouldn't that describe the average street thug who has been in a fight or two (knowledge) and needs her purse so he can eat (attitude)? Why do people always assume that the "good guy" is going to be the one with the killer instinct and training?
Yeah...but odds are she's going to get tossed around standing in that sideways stance. And as for mobility...a guy, odds are, is going to have longer reach, so those weak little palm strikes aren't going to do anything.
lol false self confidence can be more dangerous than mindless fear sometimes. When you're fighting for your life, you have to be more aggressive than that, heh.
what if they come across a jiu jitsu black belt rappist? LOL jk

Also I feel the instructor leaves a lot to be desired for many reasons. You simply cannot teach self defense techniques in one class. There is no way I would recommend this class.

So many commenting SD experts. Nice.
Strong behaviour backed up with natural moves - nothing wrong with that. Only the music sucks.
Drop your fear of the attack that HAS to be solved with weaponless fighting skills.
And your dream of serious ( and rare ) situations that CAN be handled by the sooo trained martial artist.
I train MMA - but not for SD. Get past your teenage fantasies.

I'm sure these instructors have the best of intentions but their training methods are shit. No attacker is going to be scared off by, "Stop. Move away." I mean, come on! Besides, you don't need to teach someone how to tell someone else to piss off. That's something you should have already figured out. Their stance wasn't even intimidating.
The "attackers" they used were baloney too. They did nothing to resist the women and didn't even attack them really. They just fell to the floor.

They are beginners. You can see the nervous smile. You learn from success, so the reaction of the attackers is okay.
The music is the worst thing in this clip. For SD its okay.
I train MMA, but I know the difference.
Drop your fantasies of MA proven lionesses.
Most situations call for strong behaviour not for the illusion of invincible martial arts.
And most people will be able to avoid situations that could be solved with unarmed fighting skills.

I do agree that more than one or two classes are needed, but not everyone can devote the time it takes to master a martial art. Ordinary women need to have some way of protecting themselves. Instead of being so critical, why don't you suggest something that would be helpful (other than a gun that is).

This is one of the most dangerous things I've ever seen. I train and fight mma (jui-jitsu muay thai.) If your not going to learn some Kali or other real weapons skills don't think you as a women can protect yourself or your family from a larger stronger attacker with one or two classes. A stand-up martial art is not an equalizer until you've put in incredible amounts of time.

The problem with these 2 hour classes is that the guy you are training with *WILL* stop when you do it in class. When you attack him, he just moves back, and doesnt even grab against them. I suppose if you really had to test if it worked out, some guy would stalk them home after class for about 20 minutes, and see if they remember anything. If not, then the class didnt work. Self defense is important, and the attitude alone can save you, but people tend to freeze when it matters.

This seems more like a money grabbing McDojo disguised as a proper martial arts school with a facade of elevate language, pretty decor, and fancy equipment.
Nowhere did I see a even a warm-up routine to develop core strength for fighting, and they did not even teach the most BASIC skill of any martial art: breaking a fall.
People need to realize that learning how to fight/self-defence takes years of training. Don't waste your time on black belt in one year gimmick McDojos.

All you need for duperior SD is a well maintained .45 automatic and the knowledge of one discipline of martial arts: I call it the step-back style. It simply involves stepping back enough to draw and fire the weapon point-blank into your attacker's chest or gut. I guarantee you that it will stop him a lot better than this crap.

Americans lost their grit for handling firearms a long time ago. Quite sad. If everyone opened carried, do you think anyone would even come up and give you trouble? Problem today is, someone can get raped in front of a crowd of people and no one will do anything.
No one even thinks of messing with someone shouldering an AR-15 or carrying a .357 on their belt.

It is simply impossible to properly and legitimately learn how to defend yourself from one class. You may learn a few cool techniques, some useful little tricks, but one class does not make you prepared to defend yourself in all situations. What are the key points on a guy, for you girls? Crotch. Not tapping his face, that's going to motivate him to punch your nose right off. Unless you've been training for like ten years in a legitimate martial art, you need to focus on buying time to RUN.

Learning ow to properly use and care for firearms is a superior method of SD. There is nothing wrong with close-quarters combat techniques, but you would be safer if there was space between the victim and the aggressor. That can be achieved with a firearm.
I prefer that a responsible woman shoot a rapist instead of the opposite. A gun can be the equalizer in a woman's battle. Also, scratching people with keys does nothing but infuriate them.

blondy4spikey 3 years ago
Self defense means a firearm. Their main advantage is that they don't need to be within arms reach to disable the assailant. It's good to know some basic moves should it ever get to hand to hand, but overall, pulling a firearm should be your first line of defense.
And, if an attacker is ever able to take YOUR gun and use it on YOU, it's a sure bet survival wasn't your first priority anyway. Get a gun and know how to use it.

I do learn self-defense, but I think there is a bit of BS in this video.

Honestly, for myself, even with Martial Arts training, I have been attacked before, luckily enough to escape. But this is never gonna protect you 100%. The best rule for self-defense is to avoid the situation. But then again, you dont know how, when or where you can be attacked.

With over 42 years of martial arts training AND actual combative experience (e.g., I'm 56: attacked by 4 20-something's two years ago...fought them off despite 2 broken ribs. One needed the other 3 helping him get away). When it's not a pretend-attacker, an "I am Woman" pc-statement of "leave me alone" won't mean crap, and the response will be a punch as hard as he can to your face.

I'm very skeptical about this. With 30 years of martial arts behind me, including a 3rd Degree in TKD from a Korean master, you'd be better off with Gracie Jiu Jitsu. The problem is that these attackers in this video aren't attacking at all. An attacker is not passive like this. Further, the voice commands should be based on NLP and not the kinds of things a child would say. I've seen a 90 pound woman choke out a cocky karate black belt in 25 seconds! How? Gracie Jiu Jitsu.
catricola 3 years ago
I happen to agree with you, although I don't think i've heard of "gracie" jiu jitsu. never the less i agree an attacker would not be so passive and further more they could learn a thing or two about the pressure points in the body, you can disable an attacker with less force that way.

Learning karate chops from a 3 hour self defense class will do nothing but get you killed if you are attacked. Thugs train as fighters from an early age. A "palm" will only piss them off. My self defense technique involves proper selection of clothing. Wear something thick enough to absorb and deflect attacks. If you can sew, stitch together several layers of fabric (10 or more). When I walk bad streets wearing MY clothing armor, people actively avoid me because I dont look like a VICTIM.

Self-defense practice is fine for self-development, but practitioners need to be aware of being lulled into a false sense of security, arrogance even, that will inevitably get them in needless trouble. It is very difficult to best a person who is hell bent on harming you, especially if he is bigger. I know from experience. That said, I applaud the practitioners who are trying to come to terms with a harmful world.
cafesiena 3 years ago
The problem I see here is that every scenario is gently staged and completely non realistic. The "guys" in the padded suits are trained to "go easy" on these clients & this is dangerous as this will give them a false sense of security and perhaps overconfidence. Unless they can overcome their fear & manage their adrenaline rush to their advantage the attacker who is probably stronger and bigger with a ready to hurt attitude will win every time especially if he has a weapon. That's the reality.

You notice all of the instructors blather on about "empowering" the women...because that's all the classes are really about; the chance of these soccermoms having to defend themselves from violence is very small. Which is fortunate, as I hope they never find out how bad their training is. Chasing a focus mitt across the room and kneeing a guy who doesn't hit back will not prepare you for real violence. But none of these women want to have to keep fighting after they get punched in the nose.

Asian martial arts generally require strict trainning, deadening of nerves/hardening of bones. From punches, to elbows, knees, and kicks, also the way their bodies are, they won't be generating much power even if they are using palm strikes, knees, or elbows. Either way though, good luck to them.

Not everyone is interested in taking martial arts and therefore self-defense classes is the next best thing. In such classes one can learn to be aware of surroundings and be more confident.

1. Respect women
2. If you sense a female,(or anyone), is a threat, quickly leave the premises.
3. If you must battle, take her out hard and quick.
Of course, escaping a psycho splittail is the best option.

But, there are really exist some sort of original Indonesian martial art which is very dangerous and deadly, but its not really popular in the world. this art called as Pencak Silat, combination between martial art and magic, legend said that its even capable to dodge a bullet.

i don't think this style of fight will work unless they are aiming at the nose with their palm because there is a pressure point at the nose and getting in the stomach will knock the air out of you.

I am a 26 year martial arts vet, I thought everything here looked pretty sound...a woman can defend herself against a man if she has the proper attitude and knows how to commit fully and with her body weight...a baseball bat is a not very heavy piece of wood until someone swings it with commitment, even a 6 year old swinging it as hard as he can can cripple you with a shot to the knee with a bat. Same with a woman..if she commits herself with sound training, she can hurt you, NEVER underestimate

What about when she meets a man who has the proper attitude and knows how to commit fully with his body weight? Wouldn't that describe the average street thug who has been in a fight or two (knowledge) and needs her purse so he can eat (attitude)? Why do people always assume that the "good guy" is going to be the one with the killer instinct and training?

Yeah...but odds are she's going to get tossed around standing in that sideways stance. And as for mobility...a guy, odds are, is going to have longer reach, so those weak little palm strikes aren't going to do anything.
And that clinch into knees was a joke.

lol false self confidence can be more dangerous than mindless fear sometimes. When you're fighting for your life, you have to be more aggressive than that, heh.
