Good stuff. Very good idea to anchor the lock on the chest, I never thought of that. I usually anchor it by grabbing the wrist or forearm with the other hand, but using the chest allows you to keep one hand free.
@wael77 Thanks! I try to put a variety of different material in my DVDs to help people become better martial artists and to be able to use the skills if they have to. Appreciate your feedback. - Alain
It bothers me a bit that you speak like a bully in this video. And you should also advise the viewers that, unless he's physically trying to poke your eye out with that pointed finger, it's a battery charge in every state that I know of, no matter how "aggressively" he behaves. Unless you're the police... where it's still a crime, just no charges.
@NextZen2pm I'm sorry you feel that way. However, your "Legal" statement is not correct. I've seen many altercations start with the agressive finger to the chest, and stopping it with a quick finger lock is much better than many other options, such as when punches start flying. In my videos, seminars, and lectures, and in my next book, I talk a lot about the legalities of defending yourself. - Alain Burrese
