How to defend against a baseball bat in a street fight

[gregos74]

Your vids are great and I like your attitude, which I think one should find in any martial arts classes but which is not often the case: serious intense training but with cool and humble character.

Just one thing if I may say... You might want to change the cameraman and make the vids (and sound) of slightly better quality, it will only help get your message across better and get more viewers, hope you don't mind my comment.

[creativecombats]

@gregos74 Thanks glad u like them, I keep them real as best as I can and call it as its happened to me..as for the cameraman got a new one..Tanks..

[SirFightsalot]

I dont give a fuck how strong you are...if i swing this bat as fast as I can im gonna break your arm... so true :)

[kirecorp]

What about baton, when they use one hand to strike and one to keep the distance :/

[ThePeter74Peter]

This is great! thank you for these vids.

[Soulblackman]

A HEALTHY dose of REALITY. And thanks for making it clear how SUICIDAL it is to think you could actually BLOCK a baseball bat with your FOREARM (S). I will admit, I could do without the salty language.

[creativecombats]

@Soulblackman Sorry about the language my bad..glad u like the vid..

[rbt4rbt]

Always thought it should be done like this but never had to use in it in real life, but now you show it. Thanks. You're right, once a bat gets speed in its swing, forget about blocking it because it has too much power to hurt you.

[liplegend]

i wish you were in Thailand I would so go o you classes

[creativecombats]

@liplegend thank you maybe one day i will come do a seminar...

[K1LL4K]

great advice, good work and very practical not just hypothetical like slow motion example like other 'experts'.

[creativecombats]

@K1LL4K thanks, thats how training should be, real time real speed..

[iRonlMoNKleY]

Language is fine. If your going to defend yourself, that's the last thing you should be worried about AND your suppose to get ****in angry.

[6408tullos]

good advice bad language

[creativecombats]

@6408tullos i agree apologize for that..have cleaned up my language..

[allshallbelosttoyou]

@creativecombats true you do swear alot but it gives a the viewer a sense that you're an everyman. a real guy not some stuck up "ive been training for 15 years let me not shut up about how great i am" prick.

[BLAST777]

This is very good advice, 99% of time a baseball bat targeting the head will be used as described here.

Baseball bat can however be used as a combat cane (same goes for an umbrella) using just the wrist to hit with little to none arm movement.

In this case the bat can reach at extremely high speed the target, e.g. the top of the head.

[W33dUnit]

this is the first technique i´ve seen against a bat that actually seems to work in a real situation.

2 weeks ago me and my friend came up against two guys and one of them had a bat. we didnt know what the fuck to do so we just tried to stay out of his range and finally he stopped swinging and jumped back into his car.

i´m not sayin i´d just jump at somebody like this the next time (hopefully there wont be one) but its good to know there is a defence if the attacker gets within striking distance

[mirkthirteen]

just like every1 else has said, straight to the point, aha u had a bloody good point when saying dont block with ur arm, i mean ur right if someones throwing a bat at u left right and centre like a bloody madman how the hell u gonna stop that without getting hurt and essentially owned...

[CecilRyuTaekwondo]

Thank you for something useful!

[spacecadet35]

Good advice. Bad language.

[creativecombats]

@spacecadet35 i know my bad...cleaned up the language

[jonboy1028]

first off i want to say thank you for showing us these simple and effective techniques and congrats on being a teacher. ( i am a teacher myself but the person im teaching is myself lol,i teach myself similar things to what your teaching, and testing them out too and i do learn from other experienced fighters as well) second, what are the people in the white gi's doing in the backround? i mean your on the other side of the room training with real techniques but they are training with silly moves.

[creativecombats]

@jonboy1028 they have diferent arts they teach, i only use to use the space to teach my privates..thanks for watching i will be posting in a couple of weeks many new videos and material..

[hazmatac]

Thanks for this video



[CrYMachinima]

Nice vid! Straight to the point, without any sugar-coating.

[creativecombats]

@CrYMachinima thanks..

[tigerboyX]

I like this one. This one seem more realist?

[JustLeakedTV]

stop swearing

[creativecombats]

@JustLeakedTV i know appologise it was a bad habbid and have cut it out...use to think it made me more real, but realise i sound like an idiot..i only keep this vid up because it liked and wathced by many people..

[johnhurt888]

good tutorial but the guy with the bat isnt swinging very fast like in a real fight.

[psychoinhell]

Nice viddy... good simple logic with no exotic BS! Even Bruce Lee said the most dangerous person you can face is a street fighter, because they are unpredictable and very hard to judge how good they are until it is too late.

Also ignore the person complaining about language. Too many people think that if you can change words that are used, it will change people. Yet the biggest criminals wear suits!

[creativecombats]

@psychoinhell thanks great point..the only reason for the language bad ghetto habit...its more for the kids but i am being more carefull but 1 things is right the suit men r the worst criminals that screw up people lives..

[NoPrEJudice201]

@psychoinhell yeah love this he tells it how it is

[kungfuspic]

LOL. You really gotta have your balls screw on tight to go in on a bat. 1 fuck up and if your lucky you'll end up in the hospital with just some broken ribs lol. But this technique works my friend did it to someone trying to take his head off. Just make sure you don't fuck up.

[wael77]

What's with the constant cursing? If you think it makes you seem badder and more real, you're wrong. It just makes you seem inarticulate.

[creativecombats]

@wael77 ur right appoligise ..its a bad habid..i have actually cleaned up my language and changed my over all look...its one of my first videos..

[wael77]

@creativecombats Thanks for the honest response, you earned my respect with that. Your techniques are strong and effective, no doubt about that. I'm glad to hear that you're now letting the techniques speak for themselves.

[creativecombats]

@wael77 its my bad, i was raised in sort of a getho and adoppted the menatality and language...again sorry and glad u like the vid..

[mkpangan0212]

i understand the mechanics of your technique and i wanted to ask you if you think what i would do in the situation would be worse or not. It basically the same as yours but instead i was trainned to move in and wrap the arm under yours and either do a palm heel to the face or a knife hand or elbow strike or w.e comes to mind, but my question is wrapping when they go to swing bad?

[pnut1244356]

I read all these comments, and i agree that you should just try to get the hell out of there if someone has a bat. But these videos are for any scenario. Sometimes there is no running away. What if this person is coming through your window and your girlfriend is asleep in bed beside you, or you're in a corner somewhere? I'd rather be prepared to know what to do.

[redbullman54ify]

You can really help people and even save lives you have to be a teacher and come out with like a DVD with bat,knife,gun Defense .

[creativecombats]

@redbullman54ify will be soon...thanks for watching

[john1136]

Realistic

[noraac]

pink in the background makes this more badass... ;D

[SuperLonely1990]

"that will fucking break your arm".I like that.Good video man.Keep them coming.

[MisterClean121]

this guy is hardcore

[wingchun2k10]

Hey creative combats I definately think this is a great training video because you address the concepts of the proper area to attack should a person have to deal with a bat weidling attacker. I just watched another vid on here and that guy should review your video. Great work.

[creativecombats]

@wingchun2k10 I know man there is some crasy shit out there that people are teaching that will get somene killed, in all my videos and my training i am the first to put my head on the line to prove that it works and that its not as easy as some may make it look..thanks for wathcing go chek out some of my knife stuff...let me know what you think...

[greytale]

@creativecombats Amen to that! I appreciate your willingness to do the drill at FULL SPEED (or whatever, 90%, etc.), instead of all this BS "Let's show only slow-motion" stuff you see all over the place.

I ESPECIALLY appreciated how you were asking your associate to ~NOT~ hold back.

[dylanbrandonwalsh]

I have taken martial arts for several years but for the last 4 years I have only practiced at home alone combined with watching defense techniques on youtube. What is the best way I can prepare when faced in a real situation against a bat, knife, gun or mulitple attackers when I only practice by myself at home now? Thanks

[creativecombats]

@dylanbrandonwalsh you can try shadow fighting, close youre eyes and visualize youre fighhting somene with a knife as for the gun or bat, you need somene there since it requires trapping, timing, that u can only develop through training...

[zapwatt]

Get real! If someone has a bat and you don't the first thing you should do is diffuse the situation. If that doesn't work you should run like hell because all things being equal (hopefully) a man without a bat can run faster and further than a man carrying a bat.

[creativecombats]

@zapwatt if you take the time to see some of my videos you will see most of everything i teach is to diffuse all situations, but when you can and the guys is holding a bat, and is in close quarter range, if you turn around and try to run good luck stopping the bat when youre back is turned to it...think of that..

[stealthbeast]

Agreed. "Blocking" a bat is the dumbest concept ever. The best way to avoid getting rocked by a bat is having an equivalent weapon. The second best way is to run. The third best way is this.

Only thing you gotta reaaaally keep in mind with this technique, is you ARE going to get hit, and you are probably going to get hit BAD, even if it's executed well. See at 4:45. That wasn't the most graceful block, had that been a real bat, he'd probably been in a world of hurt... But alive and fighting.

[creativecombats]

@stealthbeast great comment...i could not agree more, as for 4.45 i dont think it would have caused enough damage to slow my attack, under adrenaline you wont even feel it, but like you said, i would be alive and keep fighting..thanks

[bdjordan15]

@stealthbeast hit the best. as you do that, you attack ( face, knees, groin, w/e) and take their focus off the weapon so you can take it

[revoltkid123]

i havnt looked at all your videos yet, so i dont know if you have one up or not, but what would you do if he has brass knuckles?

[creativecombats]

@revoltkid123 a weopon is just an extension of youre arm, if he is wearing brass knucles , you would defend it the same way as a punch...

[ily191]

this guy knows wat he is talkin bout :)

[gd01902]

like the vid zero bullshit and straight to the point, how it SHOULD be done no fancy stuff just a few elbows an headbutts 5*

[georgeddirector]

nice video!

[saena11]

you can go to my profile, you will find lots of videos of their attacks against innocent unarmed people. if you make the video, maybe you show a victory sign "V" at the end of your video :-D I know I want a lot! but you can really help us a lot.

[saena11]

Thanks this techniques help us to fight against anti riot police in Iran in our fight against the fanatics and for democracy !!! thanks dude.

[chinoxxx123]

nice

[rocknrollcat57]

I see what you mean about getting in there close before he has chance to get the full momentum of the bat. NICE ONE !!

[rocknrollcat57]

I understand what you are saying. The thing is like you say,youve got to keep in close NICE ONE.

[rocknrollcat57]

NICE ONE!!! but what would you do if he went for your knee-caps?? as I would (not that I do this sort of thing all the time)LOL

[creativecombats]

i would step in lower, the key is to intercept the bat the instint his hips, shoulders, or when both hand grab the bat for the swing...ones the bat has taken full speed no mater where his aiming youre getting hit..

[Vinnygil]

everything is legit. but u can seriously fuck up your face if you use alot or headbuts

[creativecombats]

true but its a verry affective fight finisher...

[fight779]

this is amazingly simple, your a good teacher

[creativecombats]

Thank you..I have many more videos that you can see..

[fight779]

yeah, ive been purusing (spelling?) them in between doing homework....high school sucks. but i must say they are all very well done

[BECK26x]

pretty good

[neutrinomann]

This makes sense. Simple technique that you don´t need arms of steel to do. Only training.

Good video!

[creativecombats]

thank you...

[dyceyboy91]

that was good
