Richard Grannon- Real Street Combat Martial Arts Training

[wisdom777ification]

basically fight dirty....

[eyefuctyourwife]

good stuff by the way mate, anything that clears away all the flowery hand crap, and sport nonsense etc is usefull. no need to be honourable or sporting if someones trying to harm you.

[eyefuctyourwife]

girls, girls, girls... calm down. if you like it, watch, if you dont, then dont. 1 simple rule of fighting, if you are being attacked or get the feeling that its about to happen, ATTACK WITH FEROCITY, DO WHATEVER IT TAKES! unfortunately prison maybe a consequence for defending yourself and doing the right thing, but the system`s broken, you cant change that, fact. survival is the highest law! you survive, you win. (of course it would be sensible to escape and evade capture if at all possible)

[zed13281]

your balls are exposed for ages. go for the groin before the headbutt

[djeq721]

@DasRaz14

Just about anyone who wants to succesfully defend themselves?

[ahsuknat]

knee to head?

I would just DDT him

[GabrielKai]

I can't imagine this working, opponent can just rotate and front kicks phail :/ am I right?

[jihaad]

fight like this in the streets and your on a fast track to prison,i seen a 60 year old aussie guy show people cleverer things to do than this, {his brain shaker} ,,the stuff you show is to be used in military combat or life and death situations,,do this in the street and your behind bars in no time ,,and if the streets are that bad that you need to fight like this then your a fool for not moving home allready or buying a big nasty dog.

[flartie]

@jihaad the idea isnt to hang around waiting for the police to lock you up afterwards and any fight can be life or death it can only take one good shot to kill you.

id much rather listen to grannons advice than some fat aussie bastard

[jihaad]

@flartie flartie your the same type of idiot who gets caught fighting in town on CCTV then goes to jail ,every major city and town centre in england hasnt been covered in cctv for the last 15 years allready has it ,,clue up man hahahah you just proved to me you never go out drinking.

[flartie]

@jihaad no i dont go out fighting at all. i know two people who took one shot and ended up in comas, one of them died. if you dont realise that any fight can be life or death i think its you that needs to clue up

[jihaad]

@flartie the "fat aussie Bastard" never got jail for his "advice" neither has he ever killed anyone ,these moves shown here are fuckin lethal ,the type of stuff trained body guards and army lads use to survive,and its fuckin effective stuff he teaches but at the end of the day you,ll go to jail for fighting like this in the streets "the fat aussie" on the other hand teacher shows you how to solve the same problem and stay out of jail.

[Donkyfishy]

@DasRaz14

Really?! headbutts are fucking great in the right circumstances!

[jweller777]

The comment 'once youve dealt with the initial, Oh Shit! He's hitting me!' was super funny but perfect. I also like the reference to vile tactics, they are table turners for certain.

[aznmans]

haha ok now that ive dealt witht he initial OH SHIT

[elainesman]

looks like something ''bob the walt'' taught him , what with the muay thai influences ;]. how is he richard btw- still in touch ?

[streetfightsecrets]

sorry mate , dont recognise the youtube name, who is that?

[streetfightsecrets]

your profile says your name is "Russ", but its not ringin any bells

[ditya97]

when someone is headbutting you, you can ear bang him

[zzsharka]

no time ditya97

[emtahmadi09]

u get hit in the jaw and u clinch ur daw ur mandible can fracture...the jaw cant take so much pressure

[ToraJutsu01]

If you dont clinch you lose teeth, beleive me, im missing half a molar and all it was was a wrestle with some mates. i guess its a choice eh, which is worse, jaw or teeth.

[cba2makeaname]

Great stuff grannon cheers.

[spaghead1]

are you richard gannon if so u no ur stuff

[andrew7913]

1. no lying about ur age online ESPECIALLY youtube is not an offense at all for all you know he might just put in a random age for his profile.

2. sowhat if the kid is 14, ur european, ur a big manmaking fun of a kid over the internet

lawl? taht is DEF not cool anymore, rofl lmao? what is taht funny?

[seelybooth13]

I'm confused. O_o

[ladygagaforlife]

i really liked this, it is very descript and gets to the point except with those pauses, u may want 2 remove those

[LBRichY]

Richard, this all stuff is great for street fight and protection, but can you tell something about psychology on street! We in Latvia have russian idiots, who are stealing money or other important things form people and kids. And when you get stuck with them, thay can talk you down and you are shaking form sceard. How can I get over that, and get punching about 2 or 4 people, or wich is the best thing to do - run away?? But if I can't??? What can you tell me about psychology??

[AllowExpression]

Don't allow yourself to be drawn in, change your environment. Watching two people in a video is not the same as training full time, you will get hurt. You can avoid a painful lesson if you don't give in to the urge to be violent.

[russianthe888]

im russian, but i know how you feel, you should train harder cause russians are natural good fighters+ they have fight clubs

[XbSo]

ill tell u something about psychology, if u wana get over being scared, and want to get in there and not try to back away or sumit, then just practise it with ur mates or sumit, or the adrenaline will force u to do it, or if non of that works, wot i do is i think that if i dont do it, then itd be the last thing id neva do, or image there someone i really want to kill, pce

[LeviathanLee]

no ones answerin u are they? heres the deal a predator is a predator regardless of who they are..i would suggest u start practicing simple things like evasive steppin and throwin lo kicks, knees and elbows...and learn to use both hands together palm to wrist...this is a great defense and offense..and accept that ur gonna feel pain so train the simple things hard..human nature breeds predators so its best to treat them as such and fight to maim..hit joints with fist..aim for the neck not the head

[fruizm]

what do you mean when you say aim for the neck not the head?

[AMARUT180]

You rock Rich ! Good shit.

[ShaolinMantis]

last weekend my budy beat 2 big fellers at a bar. He took out one of them with a devastating headbutt.  Not the best move but sometimes its all ya got....plus no one ever expects it.

[AllowExpression]

If your arms are tied then you have all sorts of options, a headbutt is one of them and it's certainly powerful if you hit the right place on the skull.

[WiiganGiirls]

if you hit the nose with a but their eyes will start to water and it will be hard for them to see.

you can then land a few hits on them

[RoaringTiger281]

Very true and valid tips!

[smcgregor72]

this is great,i didnt do it unfortunatley,had 2 lads outside a pub in holland didnt see 3rd guy with a bar stool,had to finish them of with a broken jaw,i was lucky,richies stuff works

[martial09k]

i think you need to delete the space between 7BkBpi & -16es to make the url work, trust me it's a cool demo on fighting

[martial09k]

youtube(dot)com/watch?v=7BkBpi­-16es&feature=related

[youtobereal]

You would make a good American..c'mon over!

[sifatlung]

i fucking love this guy's shit

Richard Grannon you fucking rock!!

[cyclefire]

Here in the Phillipines, duels are still prevalent. Last night, two people got too much to drink and engaged in a fist fight. Their companions were able to break them up. When every body went home, one guy went to his enemies house carrying two knives and challenged the other guy. The other guy comes out of his house carrying an axe. Needless to say, the man with the axe died. People here always carry knives, and are not afraid to use it.

[eddiedaskull]

Wear steel toe or square toe motorcycle boots and that will add to your head ,elbow and knees.Personally,I find knees to only work on the leg musles and back of the head and sometime the face if the oppenent is not very well trained

[2paclove]

Great video man, that's the first time I watch a video where the instructor actually tells that you that you will get hit on the streets and how to make the best of it.

[filoIII]

seems as if you have some silat training

[streetfightsecrets]

yep, too little for my liking!

[ekgjwejfopjp]

great instructional vid

[streetfightsecrets]

thanks!

[pavlikcz]

to byla cipovina.

[SDBglobal]

I was watching that!

[Polski93]

is there some way to overcome your fear before a fight

[Alisterbmx]

i normaly have my music on before i fight when i know im gonna have 1, cos i listen to metal music, it really gets me going

i dont know if it will help you but at least i tried =]

[foldedjono]

just get in a good first punch

Dont hit them first but make sure ur first punch is a good one so you feel better.

Overcoming fear just psych up mate. Think why this person pisses you off and why you want to fight them.

[mq4h07]

yell like a maniac gets rid off ur fear

[streetfightsecrets]

we have CDs available on the website that so just that... also google Richard Grannon, NLP, Combatives for articles, and do same search on youtube

[cyclefire]

Rich this has nothing to do with above topic, but Ill ask anyway. You see I always come home from work late at night, I dont have a car so I usually walk. Im a bit confident that I can defend myself against an unarmed man, what really concerns me is the knife.Ive read articles about it and gain some insights but it still bothers me. I then find out that if I can hold on to something, a stick for example, my confdence increases. Can you suggest any makeshift legal weapon I can carry w/ me always?

[Creationsofmyown]

i have a EDC knife i dont leave home without... but i have been looking for a less lethal option

i have settled on an ASP baton the extendable ones that cops have

inexpensive inconspicuous and far more threatening to a knife wielder than another knife..

[cyclefire]

I've come up with something. I bought a small pouch/bag with a rope handle. I put 4 big used flashlight batteries inside.I believe if I can hit the head, I can knock somebody out with it. I intend to hold it with my powerhand in the rear, while my left weak hand is in the lead defending. Im already committed that whatever happened to my lead defending hand, even if it got mangled by the knife, the pouch bag will hit my foes head full force. But the pouch bag will only come out if I saw a knife.

[fruizm]

this might sound gay and kind of "coward" but a good non lethal option is pepper spray. you can knock him out after you spray him without having to worry that he can hit you first. or you can spray him and leave without punching him.

[Creationsofmyown]

pepper spray is illegal in canada unless for use on bears. if i get my private investigator's license, i can carry a PR30(extendable baton).

good idea tho.

[WiiganGiirls]

thats a good idea for self defence.

if u connect with someone on the temple or jaw they had it.

[300shields]

Funny thing is in the us, pepper spray is legal but no one but law enforcement can carry a baton, laws are so messed up!!!

[nbglass]

Check your local laws, but you can purchase and carry a collapseable baton.

[300shields]

unfortunately i live in the liberal state of NY where the criminals have more rights than the law abiding citizen! thanks anyway!

[WiiganGiirls]

there udnt be enuf tym to get the spray out and to spray. if ur in a situation like that it happens so fast that u have to train until it comes natural

[oPiZi]

gay.

[Exlan2142]

I've found that before my training in judo that whenever i was in a fight i got swept away in the adrenaline. The biggest standout for me is that yes, some go to use double grip on your shirt for headbutts, its a simple matter of grabbing him under the arm and around his back, and the front of his shirt, put your leg on the inside of his then turn and flip him over your head. All can be done in a matter of seconds and can and has ended many fights and spars i've been in.

[peetrea]

ive been a skinny little shit all my life and always backed down coz the guy has always been bigger and stronger! now ive got a chip on my shoulder and am pretty lean and train 6 days a week. im a black belt in shotokan, from age 10-13. i trained again aged 30 in muay thai, jujitsu, wing chun and now train alone in home at 32. But im haunted by childhood and avoid confrontation at all time. i hate fighting, how do i get over the nerves and tension? not to fight but to deter arseholes!

[procol83]

Yea,go beat up skinny little shits.Just joking,what about some reality training where in a controlled situation the trainers sort of gang up on u,shout,shove n use controlled aggression to simulate a street fight

[dugmin]

thanks procol83!!

[DarkTidesInc]

I have to fight someone, there's absolutely no way around it, they have done something I can't forgive and they wanted to fight me in the first place. He's my size which is about 130 lbs and will throw the first punch, got any advice?

[streetfightsecrets]

yeah

go join the forum at streetfight secrets dot komm and post the question... cant give you proper advice here

[almostskateboardsrok]

watch AND LISTEN to the first 2 or 3 minutes of his pre emptive strikes video:) click on the street fighting secrets link to his profile to find it. Might wanna watch the whole thing But really really listen to the first couple minutes.

[356562]

yup have no fear use your anger to your advantage if u r scared u have lost before the fight has started its not the size of the dog in the its the size of the fight in the dog that counts if u do lose its an experince u cannot forget but use it as a motivation that it will never happen 2 me again hope that helped

[Superking23]

let him throw first, duck it then strike as hard as you can in the ribs or chin, then just keep hitting and doing let him charge you

but you cant plan a fight, cuz once its on most of the time it isnt going too work

[tamberineman01]

would love to train with these instructors i think its great in what they teach not just in hand to hand combat WHICH IS GREAT but in how to deal with people in MIND CONTROL as well.WHAT COMBINATION OF TUTORIAL experienced doorman and

ex s.p WELL LADS KEEP IT GOING

[BaguaAddict]

not overly impressed with the clip.1st he should have done more to protect his jaw's most vulnerable point than "clench up & turn away from it." like maybe lift his r arm. also in the next movement he exposes his center line to his attacker(open to nutshot, broken knee & ankle etc.)i don't believe his to be the best method. to those of u who post crap about people being tougher than others based on nationality try trenton nj usa. ask for sal zilla

[streetfightsecrets]

ask for sal? in new jersey?

[andocrates]

Can't be but 2 or 3 guys named Sal in the whole state. What is that short for anyway? Salvador?

[andocrates]

". . . try trenton nj usa. ask for sal zilla" Pretty much anyone in trenton could kick my ass. You people are too violent. :-X

[pmaojo]

very good!

[offth3gr1d]

hahahaha "know nothing about combat". Did they turn the SAS into a table tennis club or something? Last time I checked they were one of the world Authorities on "combat", and one of the guys consulting on these videos is one of their best in hand to hand.

[mrjsmth]

These people know nothing about combat its a laugh

[andocrates]

mrjsmth wrote "These people know nothing about combat its a laugh"

I wouldn't fuck with them.

[jaimenator]

a good headbutt to the nose will break it without much force, its very useful! so use ure nogin next time :)

[streetfightsecrets]

nogin jitsu... indeed, lol!

[Ghost093105256]

so true. try clapping your hands over their ears, which stuns them, and right from that bring their head toward yours while going in to head butt them. it's incredibly effective.

[ftomcat14]

a guy on a adrenaline won't notice his noce is broken until the fight is over...

[ftomcat14]

noSe! sorry =D

[streetfightsecrets]

is that based on your experince of the fights you've been in?

[ftomcat14]

i broke two toes and only realized 2 blocks further down the road that something wasn't ok...

[Silentium13]

The good thing about a strike to the nose is that it easily causes the eyes to tear. Buys you a bit more time to run away or throw a bigger strike while the opponent is temporarily blinded.

[jkdsifu]

I like your material here. Very real and almost like JKD streetfighting, which I teach. What arts did you learn? Its good to know there are still some reality-based fighters out there. Excellent work

[streetfightsecrets]

ah jkd instructor? thats cool. Please come join the forum over at streetfightsecrets dot com if you get the chance so we can pick your brains! ;0)

[saltybobo]

that how the english fight, any american that comes to england get there face kicked in green street style

watch?v=MjLA3iTg-NY

[andocrates]

Hit man I'll hit you so hard your mum will fall down.

HaHa (J/K) So whose tougher the average 20 year old Londoner or Moscowite

The average Berliner or the average Parisian

And here's a challenge the average 20 year old Tokyoite or Hong Kong resident.

Remember the Japanese are now the same height as Americans (due to widespread consumption of milk) but a few inches shorter then Europeans. So the Japanese will have reach advantage.

[saltybobo]

Wdf u on about nerd

[soulinite]

Toronto is a very international city and so with my job(as a bouncer) I get to remove a good cross section of different culture. Asians are no where near the toughest(although they always seem to think they are).

[simonking195]

head control JAP SLAP JAP SLAP

[simonking195]

what.. americans cant fight.

[ahumanweapon]

re:seksavesaki show us some vids of your conditioned hands please

[seksavesaki]

pretty good but if you condition the fist then you can take someone out with a single punch without having to get too close. iv only had a few one punch fights but i have always managed to defend myself quite efficiently by fist strikes alone and knees when it is up close.

[streetfightsecrets]

i do get "layd" plenty, thanks x

[alex9375]

this guy is telling a lot of usefull stuff but on the real he would get layd

[johnnylongbeach]

I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT!

[bwdillon06]

I don't know... I've used headbutts and they worked pretty well for me.

[aviatoreyes]

so then fighting is like playing drums.

[milesoverton]

Well the streets of Britain are completely different. Whilst most people aren't armed its is very common to have some punk just walk up to you and head butt (nut) you then mug u when your down. It only is useful on the front of the face especially the nose, I once sough a guy loose all his cartilage in his nose with a nut. I bet the guy who walked away did not strike him to the face. Be careful though as it is not a self defense move but an attacking move, u could get charged with assault.

[s3ph1l2oth]

wow thanks for posting this..i learned something instructors dont teach =D

[Echo630]

I've actually been around a street fight where the kid used a headbutt. He got pissed, though, when it didn't even hurt the other guy, so he walked away.

[hodgenw]

ive been in several street fights and never encounterd a headbut.... has anyone been in a real fight where someone used a head but? 9 times out of 10 u do a kick and the shits over cuz ppl only wanna box

[BBEROB]

Nice non-style fighting(i call it non style cuz there are no fixed positions even tho i havent a clue what im talking about :P).. usefull stuff!! ta for posting

[losNinja]

looks good, real stuff.

[streetfightsecrets]

;0)

[iraqizizou]

is that david odonkor?!

hehe

[streetfightsecrets]

aaaw shucks, thanks very much! ;0)

[FutureStyles]

These are some of the best self-defense video's on youtube. They are not showing the perfect example of an attack that you know WILL NOT happen exactly like they show you. Also an important thing is that they assume you WILL be hit and how to deal with it.

[streetfightsecrets]

i am "the guy" in the video clip! i have done one jkd class and i like bruces films- thats all... these are MMA techniques for the street, you are exactly right... look at erik paulson, same kind of thing

[ben41sbr2]

really nice! I hope there's more.

[Plimp73]

The guy mentions Muay Thai and "from the cage to the street"...no JKD at all. More street applied MMA really. Great video though.

[ninjaschmitty]

this videos sweet much more useful then those stupid self defense vids where u have to know martial arts to do it properly or the pussy ones where u dont do any damage to your attacker

[streetfightsecrets]

chetmonkey.. im not an american by the way, im from liverpool ;0)

the very notion of taking what works and innovating came from bruces american unchinese irreverence for history/status

[chetmonkey]

however...great video post ^^

[chetmonkey]

lol too bad nothing he ever learnt in terms of martial arts was FROM or IN america...too bad he spent the earliest 19 years of his life in hongkong...but i gess we can disregard all dat since america is numbah wun!!

[anvar]

he trained with Gene Lebell in America...BTW did you learn anything in terms of education (i.e. lernt? gess? dat? numbah? wun?)

[streetfightsecrets]

bruce lee was born in america then came back to america to live as soon as he was old enough to make that decision so i think the americans can claim this one!

[Teamzerosc]

JKD is the fighting style of Bruce Lee. It originated in China. It is a mix of many martial arts.

[ultrauband]

Jeet Kune Do? whats that? what country does it originate from?

[JKDConcepts06]

Oh shit this is Jeet Kune Do Concepts!!!!! My sifu showed me this!!! fukin great!!
