4 Principles of Defence : Street Fight Martial Arts Training

[soddey302]

love d bit when he stops d attacker and tells him ta fuck off! LOL!haha

[magicianX1000]

I have always wanted to know how to fight. I am 35 YO and a big wimp really. If there was some way to get rid of the wimp inside and put a man in his place please let me know..

[curtisg89]

good video im a good fighter but that going to make me outstanding

[cavking1]

Oh he's gonna attack me.... fuuuuuckkk offfff.

[streetfightsecrets]

@darknproud whats a fof?

[markymark7560]

Great video,things that I have never thought of.I subscribed!

[foxdemon5175]

word of wisdom: good attack is best defence.

[streetfightsecrets]

@MarzHallproductions3 absolutely not, start training asap

[MrAaronch]

Good stuff. You know your shit. From my experience stopping the attacker like that is great. But personally I say don't let the fucker step within three feet of you if he looks like he's up to something. Once he passes that three feet rule, step in with all your weight and hit him before he has a chance to hit you. Don't let him even get set to swing. This has saved my ass a couple of times. Over all great vid. I'm subscribing.

[Talis29]

This is damn good stuff.  Pay attention to it.

[ironmaidenguitar]

you're fuckin mint. :D

[jadekayak01]

you forgot the most important technique.Move out of the way and strike at the same time then hit again,again,again,again,again,­then get out of there before his mates and or police turn up

[streetfightsecrets]

@bws800115 advice for "faking it" online:

1. dont claim to be a "close protection team leader" for a company that doesnt exist anymore. Its now called "Xe", look it up.

2. dont have an online handle that can be easily googled and reveals you are Serbian, "greystone"? Maybe.

3. Dont have a handle that reveals you to be a Systema practitioner

4. Dont claim elsewhere online to have ALSO been a biker for the last 12 years.

5. Dont piss and moan and posture like an adolescent.

[chrispoel]

@streetfightsecrets 'p0wned'

[streetfightsecrets]

@chrispoel cyber p0wnage, I shall spend the rest of the day walking round like a peacock with my chest out "I sure showed that guy in an internet argument, I sure did" lol!

[streetfightsecrets]

@chrispoel as you said mate "web warriors"

[streetfightsecrets]

@bws800115 No you havent and no you dont. Your profile says you are "close protection team leader". Bullshit. Who do you work for? Go on, tell me you work for "Blackwater" you fucking clown.

Yeah, one of us definitely needs to "think before posting."

Now back to the point at hand, you wrote something disparaging about the applications shown in this video so I'll ask for a second time "what do you actually recommend?".

Do you know what a "Walt" is? Look it up before you "pack your kevlar". Tit.

[streetfightsecrets]

@bws800115 I love cyber tough guys - hey, its the internet you can be whoever you want to be... anonymously! :)

[chrispoel]

@bws800115 Why would someone that knows how to fight want to throw a first punch at anyone? If you know how to fight then you know that there are a hell of a lot of people out there capable of hurting you back in numerous ways that you won't have time or luck to avoid. You also know that one blow can kill. I think you over estimate the level of skill and intelligence of the average late night High Street moron that chooses to start a fight with a stranger rather than go home and eat biscuits.

[chrispoel]

I love the video and then I read down the comments and have to laugh at the web warriors' advice. There are those of us that appreciate your wealth of first hand findings and research but where would we be without Bad Boys educating us that 'reinforcing the target' isn't a great option? And Allah... with his amazing advice to people with (sorry Richie) 'real jobs', families and no time; that they need to take 10 years out to study before attempting to block the next drunk that swings at them.

[streetfightsecrets]

@chrispoel lol! cheers chris

[streetfightsecrets]

@chrispoel watch out Chris ... he is "in close protection" ;-)

[MrSizzlingsilver]

You have a small amount of type to either ACT or REACT. You HAVE to "keep it simple" - Word up brother! I agree completely with your approach ;-)

[GBlues1]

Love it, somebody else that gets the point. LOL! Good vid dude. Just hit the guy, answers all of your problems. Great stuff man, seriously.

[knifekali]

Interesting concept, wing chun uses a similar approach to the last move when they describe forward energy. However, in Kali, the real acid test would be to put a knife in the attackers hand and see, which, if any of these moves work. I think, we take too many liberties in what, we consider "reality based self defense." With a small knife that last move would be close to my carotid artery. I prefer to avoid consequential damage moves and check the attackers hand while striking the attacker.

[1985WhiteBoi]

yes thanks for teaching me :)

[allah211]

HAHA THIS IS NOT GONNA HELP YOU....you need years of training to actually know what you are doing in a fighting situaiton. remember, always avoid a fight if it can be resolved with words

[terasha99]

@allah211 probably cause u got in a fight an lost

[ReallyBadBoy29]

Hey man, sorry, but 0:24 is horrible. You can´t see your oponnent, your hands are in front of your eyes and they are so badly behind. You can´t start striking.. Your hands are hight and what your body? Someone punch you and he will be waiting for your strike? No.. You don´t have to fight with PRO MMA fighter - every dude can kicks you to the balls ;)

[tomdangerlloyd]

@ReallyBadBoy29 he says this is the weakest thing to do but he says it is something you can do............?

[streetfightsecrets]

@tomdangerlloyd appreciate your effort, but I wouldnt bother :)

[bossoholic]

1:58 - 2:00 Helium voice :D

[danwxm1986]

train me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-(

[letmeloginyoucunt]

I'm a girl, what if someone just randomly yanks my hair from behind as girls love to do, how the hell do i get out of that?

[streetfightsecrets]

@letmeloginyoucunt hello "let me log in you cunt" lady... I recommend grabbing the hands holding your hair so it cant get pulled out by the roots, stepping in to where the person is grabbing from whilst turning to face them.... then... karate chop them in the neck or something

[letmeloginyoucunt]

@streetfightsecrets

thankyou. I will put your advice into practice the next hair pulling experience i encounter

[Wavemaninawe]

@streetfightsecrets

Obviously nap time for me.

for a moment there I thought "let me log in you cunt" was a piece of technical advice. 0_0

Just the timeless appeal of low blows, I suppose.

[bradleycontois]

@streetfightsecrets thats gay. why not twist your body grab his nuts and squeeze till he lets go?

[streetfightsecrets]

@bradleycontois so you want to grab his balls, but what I showed was "gay"? ok

[LHSStuntman]

@letmeloginyoucunt I've been in encounters where people yank on my hair and usually I just gritted my teeth and dealt with it. I wish I had the fight awareness I do now though. If someone's hands are attached to your hair there are a few good things that you can capitalize on. One of the best is that her hands are tied up with tugging on you, not defending herself. If you can turn in and close distance it's an all you can eat buffet of weak point you can strike at.

[maLtaTdor]

the attacker can kick too, because i would so kick him into the balls and after that punch him into the nose...

[GuerrillaLuchador]

Good job man I really like your explanations. it's too bad some Jerk offs like to debate shit they know nothing about, they get lost in there own thought. but when your getting beat in the face, your not going to walk away untouched, its inevitable and you are explaining that point in your lesson. good job brotha.

[strides1000]

if he is faster and he threw his punch first than your gonna get it. i would rather stick with dodging or blocking. and they could be throwing haymakers 1 after another not saying your move wont work cause it looks lik it kind of do but its kinda too fancy for me

[TOWinkworthIpswich]

I love this man, its interception, its attacking and defending at the same time, not defending then attacking, because by that time you've blocked his attack he has now got enough time to block yours. Love it

[halo123321123]

Ok this might be good advice, but if you really want to learn this you should practice it over and over again, otherwise you will never be able to use this as selfdefense...

[08wambo]

HAHA FUCK OF BITCH! :D 0:41

[blakasassin1]

u forget some stuff in a fight the head will be tensed not lose so u just hit him harder?

[ThaNat79]

Great work Richie! Reminds me of Krav Maga . From my experience, the difficulty lies in getting rid of the basic "freeze up, clench,duck" reaction most untrained people have in a confrontation situation and replacing it with an "open up, go forth" reflex. Of course that change of posture goes along with a change of attitude : it reflects the fact that you, literally , face the situation and flight to the front.

Please come teach seminars in France ;)

[GUNRUNNER786]

haha clever stuff :D i remember about 2 years ago i did this by accident when this random kid wanted a fight, i just instinctively reacted like this as he threw the punch, my hand smacked him on the chin and he dropped :) never been so surprised in my life xD

Thanks Richard.

[fightingforpride]

why dont we keep things simple??????Block the haymaker with your left hand-knife hand- AND AT THE SAME TIME counter with the right CROSS on the chin and if he s not lights out...

[streetfightsecrets]

@fightingforpride you dont find this simple?

[seanseanyboydurler93]

this guy got some slick moves the average jagoff on the street wouldnt know what hit him

[pettheslyfan]

that is cleava mate, i was laghing when I saw this at first lol

[areyoulookinatmepal]

LOL,ffuucckk ooff.

you heard his opponent gurgle when barely hit,just think what it's sounds like at full force.

some1's jealous so far,with a thumbs down

[1987Challenger3]

idk. it jus doesnt seem like something someone can really do in a street fight. but i like where you are going you should teach how to fight multiple enemies. then id flippin almost worship you

[airwatching]

great vid

[thugsage]

like it, it's sound. perhaps all the squables are about not realizing that Richie is indeed coming full-on. Richie always preaches 'escalating the scale of violence'.

not a matter of errol flynn/ jackie chan esque stuff, rather more of your pure

beserker 'no time lag' agro response. not answering 'for' Richie, just know him

enough to make the educated guess. alot of forward drive to Richie.

[dogsoldier05]

dont forget this wont work if ya pissed. the instruction is top. dont think that after watching this you are Jacki chan etc. it takes time practice etc, but top instrucion from a bloke that knows what he's doin. respect....

[tubbletubble]

Some of his stuff is good. However, working off the premise of "deflecting" or any type of stop punching (a la "blocking" call it whatever you want) an attack is deeply flawed. Action WILL always beat reaction.

If that lad had thrown in that cross with speed you 'aint blocking it - your eating it. This is what happens when you train with compliancy. Change that to full contact and you'll see what happens.

[streetfightsecrets]

@tubbletubble the point of the video is to not bother deflecting but to just attack the attacker

[streetfightsecrets]

@streetfightsecrets and at the end of the day you CAN block or deflect or dodge an attack so saying "oo if its full contact your eating it" is just bullshit, try sparring every once in a while, take you about... oh... say 30 seconds to realise that just because someone is REALLY trying to hit you doesnt mean they will... if you are REALLY trying to not be it

theory vs reality... I love debating martial arts with youtubers... oh no hang on

I dont.

[Jupiter98111]

@streetfightsecrets

"I love debating martial arts with youtubers... oh no hang on

I dont. "

That was great! Youtube should issue Black Belts to these guys who do nothing but watch UFC and fight videos.

My old Krav Maga instructor would always say the same thing, "Attack the Attack!" it's not about points, "passing guard" or TV deals, it's about stopping a person who's out to hurt or kill you!

[mookalanda]

what the fuck is at 1:58? lol

[mikereis77]

I love it!  Who would have thought it was so easy to simplify your movements by merely attacking the person? (sarcasm) That's why I like this so much, no funky blocking or passing, parrying, trapping, or anything like that just cut off the attack with your own. Nicely done.

[jbravo41]

Richie, I have a bit of a problem with 0:38, reinforce the target. I do not agree that this is a bad solution. If u are caught off guard, the shield type of responses, such as CrazyMonkey, CrashHelmet (ISR Matrix) etc., give u a good chance of surviving the blow and being beaten to the ground. Counterattacking is definetly the best thing u can do, but especiallly if the attacker has the advantage of reach, u still run the risk of getting it square in the head.

[tuber123asd]

The issue with this method is that an attack can come from many different angles, and can come VERY quickly. As we've all seen in various sucker punch videos, you have about a fourth of a second to react. It eventually becomes a problem of the limits of the mind and reaction time. You have to address improving reaction time and reading where a punch is coming from before you discuss countering. For an expert like you, this is second nature. For someone else, it's a fundamental pre-requisite.

[Jupiter98111]

@tuber123asd

In relation to your comment, I think something that would help "non-experts" is situational awareness. Be aware if somebody is seemingly aggressive and standing too close. You have every right to maintain some distance. If a person you don't know keeps trying to move in closer then maybe there's something wrong.

Nothing will keep a person 100% safe 100% of the time, but staying alert will help.

[hanumansrivijaya]

OMG with this elbow out it look like a "bong sao"! lol! did you convert yourself to wing-chun?

[streetfightsecrets]

@hanumansrivijaya would be a very poor "bong sau" that la... half a "bong sau" half a "lap sau" maybe?

anyway, no I didnt :)

[TheBuniobobo]

@xxxSecretPersonxxx get a grip

[ricolikepal]

'spear' technique?

[ricolikepal]

'spear' technique?

[Ronnock]

With a palm strike, is your intention to knock him out or just to deter him so that you can follow up with another attack or high-tail it out of there?

[olithegummybear]

@Ronnock Primarily to deter them. It's not an effective way of knocking someone out, and is rarely used for that. :)

[Ronnock]

@olithegummybear I really don't mean any offense by this, but, are you Richie (also a serious question, he might have an alternate account that I don't know about)? I was directing the question at Richie. It's not that I don't value your input, it's just that I was specifically desiring his answer. Maybe it will be the same as yours, maybe it won't. We'll have to wait and see I guess. Unless of course, you're a training partner of Richie's, then maybe he doesn't have to answer. But thank you.

[badbrojack]

OMG RICHIE....all your stuff is amazingly effecient, prctical and your funny....

Love that your stuff is realist based, along with your attitude :D "Fuck off" lol

[Spetsop]

@badbrojack

Love these tips and that "Fuck off" through clenched teeth was great :)

[animal100000]

Or as Mr Bob Spour says put your hand behind your head with your elbow facing forward and drive it into there face....:D

[Anandfulness]

Basic traditional kung fu technique.. It's not that hard and it works.

[youngrichie]

This is one of your best videos yet. I have been trying to find examples of these techniques done correctly. Cheers Richie

[maxgunn555]

why don't you do videos on how to literally dodge punches? ie making aikido realistic.

[LuqmanNaq]

@maxgunn555 learn boxing if you want to dodge punces.

[gragrn]

Excellent demo and explaination. Thanks Richie!

[ToraJutsu01]

Another great vid Richie! I train on a similar 4 levels of defence system, from least efficient to optimum, training the less optimum just in case the most optimum fails, but intending to train the optimum to be used where possible.

[weapons33]

quality.. how much the dvd series.. need to learn ..thx

[DoktorSick]

great video ! I must say i have used this it works great gets the job done.
