Combative Psychology Richard Grannon "talking your way out of trouble"

[alanadm123]

Really good vids, All door staff should watch your vids as part as the sia training. I am on the doors in liverpool, Our you ex Liverpool?

[streetfightsecrets]

@alanadm123 yeah used to work for Dennis

[1976sprinter]

Wonderful tutorials, little sugestion for you. For people who have lead sheltered lives would it be good to show in real time and with real lauguage how these situations can go. the other chap can don a head guard.

[Liquidcadmus]

your videos are really helpful..I have practiced martial arts for 15 years and eventhough I am physically strong and I know how to do damage, I am still afraid of conflictive situations, I have a hard time being assertive or having a healthy dose of aggression. I am too peaceful. my flaw is emotional and psychological. I am looking for material to train myself mentally and overcome this.

[AshNZ1]

Really interesting stuff. I train self defense and psychology of the whole fight has always interested me

[anrei0000]

maybe u should check out an aikido dojo somewhere near you. i think you'll be surprised at the similarities. nice vid.

[dabbdul00]

ha ha wow this cat really knows what hes talking about.

[critikush]

but you still have to be congruent, I`m in a way of thinking like, the guy has it coming, wtf, didn`t your mother teach you manners lol. But then again, against a group of people sometimes you have to use really deadly force, and that isn`t specially what I`m after......so it`s practicing until you get in your comfort in a situation like this.......

[critikush]

yeah, 2 days ago, could have done the same thing, but, I wasn`t in a talking mood, was tired, exhausted, you name it, but usually I don`t have a word for people who try to engage me in an aggressive way, bcuzz, I will just let them go at it, and then we`ll see, who comes out strong....but some people when drunk will even still try to take ya out, without assessing wheteher I`m a heavy duty or not, especially when he has backup, and if he`s armed. but when I consider saying stop might help....

Your vids are well done.

The battle has waged for millennia between those who are aware and those who aren't.

paranoia is a compound word comprised of the preposition, para and the noun, nous, dative case, noia.

para - means a proximity or nearness, as in being with

noia - means the comprehending of spiritual truth, the higher powers of the soul, the faculty of perceiving divine things, the recognizing of goodness, and the hating of evil;

[83abigail38]

paranoia means - in a healthy mental state, being in one's right mind

other examples are:

dianoia - good or bad thoughts;

ennoia - the act of meditation

epinoia - thought, purpose

eunoia - good will

hyponoia - surmising

metanoia - change of mind as in repentence pronoia - providential care

and another is anoia - want of understanding, folly, madness expressing itself in rage

I'm glad for the freedom provided by youtube's blocking feature. Cheers to better days ahead for you. abi :)

[kenpachii100]

Nice videos..

[capone6sic6]

haha love the Bruce Lee reference " The art of fighting without fighting"

[shibalkeseki69]

lol BLUH!

[buildsbest]

Excellant video...Scouser....

I'll check your others.

THANKS

[chax1985]

These are all excellent vids, but this worries me a bit, if someone pushes your lead hand away it shouldn't be compulsory to strike, you might be trapping people into kicking off when the other guy might just be acting the big man not looking for a row. I would shout 'dont touch me' first and see if they still keep coming.

[Pisztu]

That's what You shouldn't do. If he's not even in the distance to touch You, it's equal You fear he'd touch You. That's why You touch him first, keeping the distance with this move, and if he's still coming towards You, it's absolutely sure, he wants to go physical, just like the video said. And I'd recommend taking a step towards the man first, showing, You're not scared of getting into a fight, this may make him calm down.

[matt357]

dosent doing this make you look weak and the other guy will strike and if you strike first cant you be arrested??

[dmented666]

depends in alot of situations you can get away with it by saying you felt threatened. like when a dude puts his and in the air and starts yelling  you can fuck him up and get away with it cause you thought he was gonna hit you.

[matt357]

will that work in the us?

[theorybag]

Depends on the state. Some states have a duty to retreat, some have stand your ground laws.

[4znBoiix]

S'that ok in Canada?

[beetweenmylegs]

is it?

[lhkjk]

a fence is used to keep that annoying neighbor's dog from shitting on your lawn.

[gregtestagent]

I like the Bruce Lee reference.

[Yarwer]

is also the meaning of aikido - but yeah, i agree; was a bruce lee reference, just thought i would open up a bit more knowledge :D

"all knowledge is ultimately self-knowledge" ; ]

[guitartangokid]

These videos are very good. From my experience, don't just watch them, watch thier mates, watch anyone else nearbye, and try to familiarise with them if the situation is not immediately hostile, so many situations can be diffused by humor. The odd ones that can't be diffused, just scare the hell out of them all, scream if you need to. Thats worked for me at least. Makes you the complete opposite of a target.

[Raao1]

Touching can escalate the situation. "Get your hand of me you &^$)(^#*&%#*!" So no touching for starting. If he countinue with charging toward me after my body language and verball "stops" there is abvious attempt to kick my ass. At the "touching" distance instead of pushing him back just smack his dumb head. I'm sorry for the spelling, but I am from Eastern Europe.

[jacktorrance311]

Lol suuuure you would.

[moss96]

alwight mayt corse you wud

[mikeathecreepos]

i want you to record trying =]

[UFCNUTTA]

ofcourse you would kingpoe1 OFCOURSE! your better than Bruce Lee arnt you!

[tibbekey]

always assume the other guy is gonna hit you first...thats all you need to know. keep that in your mind and you'll be ready for them

[streetfightsecrets]

i used to live above a club in rough bit of birmingham when i was a student at university- i feel your pain man-lol!

[hecubusXX]

i live above a club on the outskirts of a ghetto. the other night I saw some guy attempt to de-escalate a fight by putting his hand in his jacket to pretend he had a knife telling the aggressor to stay away. worst thing you can ever do he ended up getting his bluff called immediately and an ambulance took him away. he should've watched this instead

[streetfightsecrets]

it was a really smelly redbull induced one, you know the kind where the vapour burns your eyes? hahaha!

[Trixorxxx]

rofl burp omg hahahaha , nice vid man thanx :)

[edike]

stand still..i got it nice video...

[countermeasure]

Pre-emptive burp! Awesome! haha. Must add this to my tactics arsenal ;)

[spam00001]

Where do we get these CD's, DVD's, etc...?

[becca715]

so how much does what you wear/stand etc count for how people see you as a soft target?

cheers

[streetfightsecrets]

"You're incredibly fucking awesome" ...i know, i tell everyone i meet and they just dont believe me!

thanks very much for feedback, glad people are getting something from it.

;~)

[malhombre]

You're incredibly fucking awesome. Great videos so far. No bullshit stuff, I've been a few scuffles and fight in Muay Thai, and this is the real deal.

[RRFCaptain]

This stuff is seriously fucking awesome. I've been learning a bit about the "fence" and the associated ideas lately and this is probably the best I've seen/heard/read on it so far.
