Learn to Preemptive Strike (1)- Richard Grannon RBSD

[GreenDragonSage]

I'm very impressed with the amount of thought you put behind even the simplest of actions. You bring to light many of the subconscious things we do with our body language. I look forward to going back and watching more of your videos!

[tcaetano1]

Richard: Is there any incovenience of instead of slapping do it with you hand closed?Not a hook... but the same movement but instead of doing it witth the hand open you do it with your hand closed, hiting with the knuckles and the low part of the palm

[captaincheezeypuff]

@ lunarmarinelove either get a tough looking mate to shit him up by grabbin his collar or you could beat the shit out of him

[lunamarialove]

I got a question sir its cuz there is the guy that lives somewhere in my neighboor hood and he always stares at me when i ride my nice 1000$ bike and once he came up 2 me and said that thats not my bike bla bla and started talking shit and then like 3days ago me and another friend(prety strong) were passing by and he was playing b ball and was staring at me again so i said stop looking at me and then i started to folo me and wants 2 like fight or look for a fight so what should i do help me ! =)

[macdaddylives]

Richard Grannon what is your opinion on the self defence skills shown in the Youtube videos made by Senseininja2 (Chosen Ninja)? In specific, the defence against knife video and and his various takedown videos?

[streetfightsecrets]

...opinions... pffft....

[MrMmafan111]

johntmma Got 2 laugh at the guys that diss ya streetfightsecrets,stupid little points.Many opptions from that position but a good palm strike 2 the ear will do the damage till follow up.Keep it real.....

[daikento]

Loved the video, Not sure of your base style but the double hip was the basis of shukokai as developed by sensei kumura.

[jonoderidder]

I'm loving yr (only recently discovered) channel, sir. Will send a some more considered comments later. For now: (1)mate, do not feed this idiot troll! It is so not worth yr effort. He makes an idiot of himself without any help needed. (2) If you've time opportunity while in Thailand, I suggest you check out Samui and Phangan. Similar to Phuket, but MUCH cheaper (esp the lesser known beaches), less knobs, more interesting people. But hey, its pretty hard to go wrong in Thailand- enjoy!

[streetfightsecrets]

ah thanks for the tips mate - it is expensive here and there are plenty of knobs- hahaha!

will check out the places you recommend

toying with trolls is a hobby, the game is to see if I can make them have a breakdown

[TapoutORPassout12345]

good technique! this is also very good because its harder than your hand, when striking like this you can reduce injuring yourself.

[jobowtackmasterx]

And one thing, you don't need to train martial arts in order to learn how to bitch slap a gay pimp.

[jobowtackmasterx]

And your delivery is awkward, your fingers are in the wrong direction. If you are to deliver a palm strike in a circular motion, your fingers must be pointed towards the direction of your body, because otherwise, you will sprain your wrist if you hit a hard part of your opponent's face.

Why don't you try training with me, I can teach you real martial arts, not just those you watch and imitate on youtube while you are in your moms basement.

I'm a good teacher.

[streetfightsecrets]

yes you're amazing... at prancing around with a hood on doing kicks and nearly falling over you malcoordinated fuckwit!

"my moms basement"?? mate I said "your mums kitchen" get your own material

lazy, weak minded, player hating jowbowtack you really need to get some game and stop the hating

[jobowtackmasterx]

That's not a palm strike, that's nowhere to be found in any of the ancient martial arts books. That's bitch slapping, plain and simple, which you will only find in the books of hookers and pimps nowadays.

The real palm strike comes from the power of the palm which requires a HARD palm resulting from years of training by means of puncturing heated bucket of sand repeatedly and daily with your palm.

[streetfightsecrets]

you watch too many films

[TapoutORPassout12345]

wow, what a jackass. ^^^

[jobowtackmasterx]

o.k. you're good at bitch slapping, now what?

[streetfightsecrets]

heres what, by your comment you demonstrate two things :

firstly that you are ignorant (what kind of teenage buffoon calls a palm strike a "bitch slap?)

secondly that you are now pointlessley stalking me saying childish hateful things- have you secretly got a man crush on me now?

it is not my fault that you suck and no one likes you

wank into your ninja mask, little man and cry for your own virginity

[deriisaac]

Lmfao 'streetfightsecrets'.

jobowtackmasterx, you need to fuck off. No one gives a fuck what you think because you clearly know nothing and i dont see any justification for you making a complete twat out of yourself in the name of martial arts. Go commit your training to something else, train to be a fag, your coming across as one without trying so i'm sure you'll do better at that (Y)

[ODog332]

great video

[thuggizh88]

talk. talk. talk..

[SmokingKills1993]

mixing humour with seriousness! i like it! "do this and you'll take his head off (gives it some thought) ... not litirally"

and back to teaching....

TEACH ME!...when im 18, that is ;)

[kenpachii100]

My style is muay thai and kickboxing..

[dukapaja]

I have a similar boxing stile. - To use not the fist - but the open hand - that is my style too. - I reallized there is more power and less injury in the open hand.

[ImOneCrazyFucker]

richard, aint it kid of essential that you leave a pocket of air in the hand in order to perferate the ear drum? i dont know i could be wrong, and ideas?

[ToraJutsu01]

you dont need to have a pocket in the hand, there is already air in the auditory canal and will be plenty in between your hand and their tympanic membrane (the bit you will probably rupture). a flat hand is naturally cupped thick bits just before the fingers (muscle). you dont have to exaggerate the cup to effectively burst the ear.

[bsdanielm]

These are very good videos. Great watching.

[WallStreetMogul]

bitch slap

[diestroduende]

You know, I figured you for a JKD guy with your first comment. Not everything needs to be a lead eye jab or front kick.

Look, if you can't functionalize something so insulting-but effective-as a hard slap to the face, then keep on training that straight-blast.

Myself, I'm more interested in learning about the psychology of a streetfighter.

[dumbo2021]

If i successfully knock out the guy.. will he easily get up ? coz i don't wanna get into trouble ^^..

[mouthofacowboy]

We've all seen that video of one of Jerry Poteet's most famous students, Danzig, getting flattened by one punch on youtube. Where did his "JKD" training come in? Nobody really cares who gave you your black belt and in what school when it comes to realistic fighting. It's all personal and extremely simplified. Very few people can remain calm and perform up to their usual standards when adrenaline is pumping. If that's you, touche!

[mouthofacowboy]

I think in most situations, you don't start with the range for a kick, even a moderately simple one, like a side kick to the knee. I'm pretty sure they recognized your method and where you learned it before the list of teachers and prestigious ranks. Legs are useful, but I would bet my life that you are much better with your hands and would use them as a reaction before your legs in almost any instance. With that said, knowing your training, I wouldn't expect you to go looking for a fight.

[romfordlad07]

looks pritty good mate, problem is i find when it boils down to it, it get about 4/5 controlled shots in then just totally lose the plot lol

[gutsberserk99jkd]

excellent teaching i hope everybody learns from you so that there attack will be alot easier for me to read and intercept nice

[streetfightsecrets]

all that training and you consider a long looping lateral palm strike your shortest range weapon? oh dear oh dear

Im based in birkenhead, where are you based?

[streetfightsecrets]

"shortest range weapon to the furthest target and its not on a direct line either. " Mmmm sounds familiar- here are some questions for you, so what? and so what?

there is no prescribed range and weapon definition in a fight, its a fight not a mechanical physics paper

by the way since when did the palm strike become the shortest range weapon??? before you rip off another instructors material you might want to pay him the complilment of actualling learning it properly first.

[mokujin25]

Grannon! Instant fan over here mate. Guys like you who understand the psychology, the biomechanics of fighting and self defence should be teaching and putting the misconception of English thug bouncers to bed. Right on, keep it up and I'll keep watching.

[streetfightsecrets]

nice one, thanks very much mate!

[mokujin25]

no problemo, I'm purple belt Jiu Jitsu but i still crave simple, effective stand up stuff that you clearly have experience with. i'm glad I found your clips on the web! Are you army/sas trained?

[streetfightsecrets]

Purple in BJJ? I've always liked the grappling, but it does lack a bit in the stand up game- Im not army, my instructor Bob Spour is ex SAS

[mokujin25]

yeah, i just checked out bob spour thru ur stuff, i love his dvd too, no bullshit there. your right though, bjj lacks a great deal standing up but it doesn't pretend to be anything it's not y'now? same as you guys. with all the head control manouvres is there danger of breaking someones neck completely? u wouldn't want them to be dead before they hit the ground. i spose it's just good judgement.

[MorganHuxley]

hey Richard awasome videos by the way. Your a very intelligent person :)

i was wondering because ive recently picked up the palm strike im not sure if when i hit someone it will really do any damage, ive hit a few people not very hard in the arms and it left them rolling around on the floor.

Also does strength matter? because you must be very strong same with bob.

thanks Richard

[razzsupermccool]

Hey Richard can you please tell me ,If you have time whether or not i should tense my hand and make it hard or just leave it sort of lax ? im a bit confused

[vrchacho]

lax until just a blink before the hit. Then you tense. The idea is when the muscles are relaxed, you get speed which betters the surprise effect and your power (power equal to speed times mass ;) ) You still want to hit with something hard cause a stone is harder than cotton.. When you have accelerated enough you would want to land a tough one. I hope I've helped you.

[boucav21]

@razzsupermccool

I think if your going for the shock you should leave it lax and Tense just before impact?

If your going for the KO its kinda second nature to tense.

[00voodoochild00]

its also good to hit somone with the bone between your wrist and palm in other words the bottom of your palm

[alexfrost1]

"you could take the persons head off...not literally but it will hurt them" lol...the guys a legend!

[becca715]

it's great that he's using palm strikes,a lot of fighters wont use them but as a pre emptive strike there great because it's really easy to break youre hand especially hitting something hard like the jaw

[KnuxTE3000]

Nice video.

Oh btw. This is the guy that asked about the KO strikes and where to hit them to knock a person out.
