  • areyu93.........Im a girl.. whos been in fights before.. and trust me its self defence, if a guy is getting in your face you get in his!! You defionotly feel better once your beating him up. Its a life or death question= life(beat the crap outta him) Death= stand there and fear!!!!!!!! DONT DO THAT DUDE!!!!!!!1 BE STRONG

  • Three years ago my father with + 90lbs and 4 inches on me grabbed me around the throat. I reacted with a c-grip and squeezed the daylights out of it. When he was on the ground I dove on top and drove knees and elbows as hard as I could to him.

    That wasn't the first time he hurt me but it was the last. You really cant understand what it feels like until you are fighting for your life.

  • Hey Richard when i get in a fight I cant remember anything..im usually really scared and will just start swinging hoping he goes down before i do. any tips to overcome this ?

  • i like what you say about the takedown and have said in other videos about having the desired effect in mind and letting your body find a way of doing it naturally. another good video dude.

  • You only teach the grab? you don't have your guys to twist the larynx!? Twisting the larynx will keep them off balance & will negate any power in opponents punch.

  • a simple knee to the stomach would end that c grip

  • It does work, for he is running with the guy.

    The guy on the right can not kick with his knee, he will fall if he try to kick!

  • your right assuming that your opponent is in fact going to run backwards like that. But chances are the aggressor will have more forward momentum than you which will make it difficult for you to change his direction of movement

  • Not if your strong and well trained, its not difficult at all

  • isn't this move a self defense move for someone who may not be strong and well trained? Isn't it likely the attacker will be stronger? Also in the video, while being C-gripped the instructor throws pathetic punches while it would be smarter to simply remove the hand from the throat.

  • if your training for self defense its your responsibility to get stronger and to become well trained, being weak is not an excuse

    the attacker might be stronger, but gripping someone by the trachea and driving their head back will nullify that

    the instructor throws "pathetic punches" to represent what an idiot in a fight is likely to do when having their throat grabbed... its a drill...

    rather than just watching the videos you should try the drills yourself

  • a lot of self defense is purposely marketed towards weak individuals because they are the ones get attacked on the street. Also I find it highly unlikely that anyone's initial reaction to being grabbed by the throat is anything other than removing the hand from the throat. Assuming that your attacker is an "idiot" is the worst thing anyone can do in a street fight. Instead assume they are the most dangerous human on the planet.

  • yes a lot of self defence is marketed to weak individuals, sells on fantasy and is the overwhelming majority of cases a load of horseshit

    assuming your attacker is an "idiot" is not a great idea in a street fight, and here you have made the mistake that so many make: this is a drill, not a fight

    you are looking at a drill designed to develop combatively relevant attributes in a BEGINNER and trying to superimpose your ideas of application on to it.

    a simple, common mistake to make

  • your first comment was that a "simple knee to the stomach" would "end the c grip" and then you've said a couple of times it would be easier to just "remove the hand from your throat"

    I suspect you've probably spent more time looking at videos in 2 D and thinking about violence than actually getting in the gym and training for it

    I think you'd be surprised at what you can and cant do when someone has a grip on your throat and is driving you back bodily by it :)

  • I do train for combative situations and am quite aware of the physics behind effective attacks and defenses. I'm not arguing that knee would be effective while being driven backwards. I agree. You would fall. I'm saying that you would not be driven backwards in first place. An attacker advancing on a standing victim will have too much momentum to be driven backwards so suddenly.

  • watch the video again, the drill is for training to deliver the c grip preemptively before the guy has made his move

    NOT as you seem to think as a response to being punched, its proactive NOT reactive

    make more sense now?

  • if you attack someone before they attack, you will be charged with assault and be considered to have started the fight.

  • no mate, your absolutely wrong there:

    a preemptive strike is perfectly legal as long as it is justified, is proprtionate to the threat and uses reasonable force

  • in fact in certain states in your country, like Florida, you can not only hit first you can shoot to kill preemptively provided you have reason to believe that by not doing so you are leaving yourself open to the following:

    "Use of deadly force is justified in certain circumstances - whent rying to prevent a forcible felony, such as rape, robbery, burglary or kidnapping. "

    easily checkable on Google, hope this helps ;)

  • interesting. However, there are many states in which you could get into deep trouble for doing such at least through lawsuit. It shouldn't be that way though.

  • @streetfightsecrets would you happen to know the rules for california??

  • i agree that theres not alot the person on the recieving end of a c grip can do. if u try to kick or knee them ur off ballance on 1 foot while being driven back and u also lose balance if trying to remove the hand from the throat but surely they can spin round while being driven and turn ur momentum against you with a spin then drive u or take u down.would this work in countering it. please reply :-)

  • Comment removed

  • your an idiot. a typical 15 year old.

  • well I suppose berserk is not the correct word then if so. what I meant is that u go completely insane in yr mind not outside means. yr now trying to kill the person and not just beating him down. means u aim for the weakest spots and viciously too. and ingore u beein hit when u do so basicly.

  • that's kids or hippies yr talking about. :) but I know what u mean. those shouldn't fight anyways. and I dont think they can go berserk. they just look like girls trying to fight old skool way. slap slap slap. :P

  • y. can't be afriad in a fight. just run over him. go totally berserk.

  • exactly :D haha like wheenies that freaking cry and like have the biggest rage in their eye and just going berserk on someone :P

  • going totally berserk is always bad ive ended a few fights in 10-20 secs cause the guy was only concentrated on hurting me and throwing his strongest punches leaving his lower body waay open

  • ummmm..... dont fight

  • man you need to help us smaller guys, last night i was in a bar fight some guy 6'2 aroundd 200 pounds and i am 5'7 140 pounds it was outside and we both were ready for the fight so it wasnt any sucker punches, he got the first one in cause of his reach but all i did was throw massive haymakers and quick jabs quickly grabbing him by his shirt with one hand and pulling him downwardd jabbing him with the other.. how can i be more better in the future and how ddo you fight taller guys

  • Utilize kicks. When you go to strike a long armed person with a kick aim for there lower legs. Also when they throw a punch just block with both your forearms and step into the blow closing distance and reducing impact. Once in a closer range throws some tight elbows, get him in a clinch and throw some knees to the ribs. Just keep close and tight also might be best to learn some bjj(Brazilian jui jitsu), a few well placed joint locks can end a fight pretty damn quick.

  • Its a good question and everyone has their own opinion. Perhaps you should listen to someone who has been in that situation. It was good both of you were sports. However rarely is it like that, at least were I grew up. You are lucky non of his friends or random jerks looking to cheap shot you did not attack while you were tied up with the grab. Grappling is great for 1 on 1, but on the street you want to drop the guy within a few seconds, just incase he has friends.

  • keep to his inside, u close in on him..then grab him and either knee him or just keep ur gard up and kick his shins...if u try a takedown dont let him get u in a headlock or ur done....basicly rush him keep ur gaurd up and dont give a fuck he might get u once but after that hes basicly fucked...o and always roll at least 3 to 4 deep just incase his friends wanna try and jump u

  • remember its a streetfight no rules no limits just survive knee his nuts..lol just fight like a gladiator or a spartan most the time ull be ok unless he pulls a knife or gun, then u run like hell!!!!

  • true. that's too bad. for anyone who's been in atleast 10 fights. 1 of 'em is using a weapon of some kind.

  • thats true man the other week i smoked some dudes jaw with brass knuckles on, teach them to fight me while im high i'm co-ordinated like a maa fucka

  • @steviesmooth

    Oh well mate :p I recommend to not run if you're standing on a open area, It's just aim and shoot. try dissarm him asap :)

  • do you no any leg work,always remember a quick front kick to the side of his leading leg will bring all his 200 pounds on his knee,so as you flick the kick in his knee will give result he will fall then, taxi

  • im only 5'7. and this gut addressed what i ws going to tell you. keep jabbing and kicking. keep them quick, and simple. kick to the legs from 2 inches higher than the knee to 2 inches above the ankle and try and gor the middle of that. so, you keep doing this till he goes for a big hit and you run in for your takedown, or knock out. from their on it can go many ways. thats just my 2 cents. im not trained by no brazilian judo black belt or anything.

  • just a 17 yr old kid who grew up in miami and is just doing what he can. so if i contradict what a trainer says, take his advice over mine.

  • just do what you can to win i guses be fuckin krazy thats what i do

  • great videa
