KELLY McCANN - Time Lag in Combatives

[knowledgeisthepower1]

I have this guys newest three set dvd, and let me tell u they are f*ckin awesome!!!

[dunecigar]

This is a violent man... listen to him... he could very well save your life one day.

[CarlosStephenPR]

Former Marine, no wonder hes so amazing. Enough said

[PutYourHeadOut]

Question: Is he countering with an elbow there, or a forearm strike? Hard to tell if he is just pulling a strike or what not.

[creepychris11]

@PutYourHeadOut He had his partner turn his head away to do a palm heel style uppercut. In combatives... most instructors teach you to strike with an open hand so you don't break your fingers with a punch. The strike wasn't the point anyways. They were discussing reaction time.

[zerghalo2]

Can be countered with good Internet connection

[murdok620]

this guy is gaaangster

[ASSBANG6969]

In the face of Danger I have the true moral authority to run like a Bitch!

[805eheads]

it happens from time to time. some people dont know when to relax, thats when you have to put them down hard

[thebeast780]

omg if he forgot to turn his head to the side!! lol

[EARTHza323]

U dont fight when u stupid u fight when u smart :D

[micers]

Not sure you can say that traditional martial arts does not understand what you present here. Studied in Korea and also Okinawa, two different styles. What I learned is that they will not teach the new student what you are teaching. No offense intended at all, mind you. What you are teaching is real world.

[ASSBANG6969]

Avoiding ANY physical confrontation is the best route, but when a Fight cannot be avoided....then go for the KILL...this Dude is a BadAss....

[TripAClaymore]

I am reading one of Kelly's books right now and it breaks SD down so well you feel like he is talking right in your ear, empowering you to take the initiative in defending yourself and obtaining "moral authority to rip his head off".

[wiznuaji]

SILAT..?

[BMIChris74]

The last part was the best. He talked about avoidance and seeking a way out of a confrontation.

[Sharkman3472]

Kelly McCann has some great material! A lot of the things he advocates I was talking about in my martial arts class, and my instructor just wouldn't listen to me. They are so defensive of their style/art in the traditional circles when you try to give them some different perspective.

[tywainwright1]

wow,i thought i was badass because i was doin the thing he told me not to do,but i see this and im like wow

[GBoCookies]

So civil, yet so brutal. :D

[101tenkan]

Thankyou for posting a very good clip very well explained.kind regards........

[BlackBeltLLC]

@101tenkan Kelly McCann's "Combatives for Street Survival" DVDs are even better than these old clips. Check them out on our main website at b l a c k b e l t m a g . c o m / s h o p

[bikerbum81]

"I have the moral authority to rip his head off" haha what a badass

[rneoman]

@bikerbum81 i work doors since 1999 and what he says is true, i don't get much hassle but when i do all the training in ju jitsu where the guy give you his hand is out the window, you quick and simple results this the right stuff

[ellul613]

Very valid comments, this guy has clearly been there!

[piggypoo]

he makes professional fighters look like slugs. legit.

[siguenza69]

this man is the best

[5764830]

The best in self defense I saw so far

[Jehu30]

Just love McCann's stuff, you really can learn it from the dvd with some buddies in the backyard. Certainly it is enhanced by physical attributes and experience in combat sports - and this should not be underestimated. But like Kelly says "for real combat - Less is More".

[jesdanrich]

Jiu Jitsu= most efficient defense against one unarmed opponent of any size. Obviously it is going to have serious limitations eg. 5 guys jump you, you grab one and choke him out or break his arm......oh ya and your dead because the 4 other guys just killed you.

People you must learn to strike and react well to aggression. Or you have no hope of defending yourself effectively. Just my opinion.

[upyoumortypants]

quick point: in jujitsu you don't grab the hand that grabs you, you slide down the arm IN CASE YOUR ATTACKER PULLS HIS HAND BACK, you also turn raise your arm in such a way as to PROTECT YOUR FACE AGAINST THE OTHER HAND... by the time the attacker realises he can't hit your face and throws one at your ribs, you already have control and have moved out of the firing line. At intermediate to higher levels you train to control the wrist/arm as soon as you see it (ie. before it even touches you).

[kidvaletudo]

I have great respect for grappling/jujitsu but i think jujitsu (especially if you're coming from bjj) is more designed for efficient defense with minimal damage. I do judo and I know a properly applied blood choke (strangle) doesn't even feel painful. But for serious business and absolute survival I tend to give value to techniques like this because they are quick, they disable effectively, and allow the defender to stay on the balls of his feet.

[mannnymanny]

jujitsu might not inflict too much pain(which i belive it does) but i imoblizes the opponent which is really what is nessecary.....along with a follow up of attack. i think if you put diff techniques together it is very affective.

[asiguere]

so that's what chuck norris dad looks like...

[nuttybollockz]

@asiguere

my thoughts exactly LOL!

[bthomas11986]

"I've got the true moral authority to this guys head off." Yeah and I bet he could too. I would not want to get in a fight with him unless he was on my side.

[bthomas11986]

*rip

[yay8111]

this so called cambat trainer forgot that every move in martial arts has its suitable situation to apply

i think that he to learn wing chun or xingyi to understand concept of fighting rather than this ignorance

[kidvaletudo]

hahaha. Is this martial arts nerd version of trolling?

[carbonlaminate]

Yeah, he gave himself away with the "learn wing chun or xingyi" comment.

[wowal100]

that is the most convincing thing i've seen on these self defence clips keep it up some people need this stuff!

[NewZealfighter]

wow well said solid words

[HYBRIDCOMBATIVES]

WELL SAID MR.MCCANN

[DJxGeist]

"moral authority to rip his head off" this guys awesome

[cGeer15]

Best quote ever.

[elainesman]

too brief- just got started on interesting discource and poof ... gone !!

[BlowjobLessons]

Has Kelly McCann lost weight? He "looks" less tough than before. (not that I'm at all fooled)
