FAST Defense Conflict Resolution

[sungwei9]

Dude there's three open spots behind you man, just take one of those.

lol! I'm not certain these tactics work in the state of NJ. (j/k)

Aha, the 'Monopoly' defence tactic. :-)

'Go to Jail, Go Directly to Jail, Do not pass Go, Do not collect $200'

[BTC141]

If the jerk is a real jerk raise your palms slightly below your chin and move slowly towards him. When you get within striking range rip a straight palm heel to the motherfuckers nose and make sure you hear the crack which indicates you broke it. Then do another one and kick him in the nuts. When he is on the ground back over him and then drive forward. Repeat till the attacker is an asphalt stain then shop till you drop.

never use the word YOU , even when being assertive. Use 'I" statements instead.

[BillKipp]

Never say never. Although in clinical standards using I words is correct, in practice it is not such an easy absolute. Certainly I statements are directive and in some circumstances can aggravate the aggressor. But then there are times when being directive is the only way. How would you get a drunk beligerent boyfriend out of your apartment? "YOU need to go now!" is absolutely appropriate if he has not listened to your earlier I statements.

[BillKipp]

One other side note: Listen to how she uses the word "you" in the assertive portion of the video. It is "never" used as a directive phrase.

Other examples: "Wow, I never even saw (you) waiting." or "I am sorry I pissed (you) off. Would (you) like me to move?"

[jenniferjuniper97]

I see your point. Thanks.

Learn how to use your envirment to your advantage. Things you can use as shields. Trash cans, chairs, pillars, etc.

Use hot coffee as a weapon (I think Krav Maga teaches that). Know how to use common objects as weapons. A lot people like to be traditional. Training to use swords, sais, nunchuckas, knives, etc. These weapons are not street legal.

A rolled up mag, a drafters pencil, a metal tip pen, umbrella, keys as projectiles, get a small can of hair spray to use as a makeshift mace.

@davefaustino - Good point 30 yrs ago. My tournament coach ( @ the time 4th degree dan JUDO, 5th degree dan AIKIDO, 3rd degree dan Ju Jitsu, 1st degree Karate ) got into with a bouncer. The bouncer ( who is now his best friend 6th degree dan Ju jitsu ) It was a HUGE scrap eventually with my coach ( JUDO ) prevailing - .......  BY BREAKING A GLASS BEER PITCHER OVER HIS SKULL

LOL learn to use environmenmtal weapons.

[davefaustino]

sometimes not saying anything back

is the best defense.

[jenniferjuniper97]

I noticed he is blocking her path. How does that figure into one's choice of tactics? When one blocks your exit it could become dicey. Maybe she should turn around, walk around her car onto the grass then continue across the parking lot to the building ignoring him. I wonder if he would stop bothering her then. ? Just asking..

[DandDskeeto]

@davefaustino Yes, indeed not anything back is almost always a good idea.

A lot of the traditional Karate styles say they train with weapons because it is training for use of improvisational weapons at hand.

[injunkayldotcom]

Now, that is the best self defence technique I have seen in a long time. Its about time people start mastering 'mental akido' it would not only keep morons from getting hurt but it would make the world a better place. Kudos on the true martial art wisdom. Keep up the good work!

In my early security days, I experienced the "passive" response when I was threatened by an enraged homeless guy. As I backed-off and walked away, he cursed at me and he even yelled out some offensive, racial remarks. Last year, I ran into an irresponsible dog owner on the street. He lost his temper. I chose to be not too aggressive/passive, and he eventually did cool down. Will work in normal society, but gangsters/parolees do require additional experience/communication skills.

There's tons of parking spaces behind the man.

[tsh98103]

Good video. Relevant examples of the importance of a person's response in conflict and how a response can lead to very different outcomes.

[pirolak47]

Haha, this stuff happens all the time...less so where there is ccw.

[uruguayMSH]

Excelente explicacion de desescalamiento de una situacion. Y no necesariamente tiene que terminar OK, pero tomando una actitud no agresiva o pasiva nos permite detectar ma facilmente cual sera nuestro proximo movimiento. Gracias por compartir este video con nosotros.
