  • A jab at full speed would be pretty hard to just catch. You will also get clocked by the guys right because you've commited both hands to this jab catching business and you've left yourself completely open.

  • I'm very confused...

  • you could also just counter with a left cross

  • It's best to do a rear neck choke from that position because it ends the fight right away

  • planty of options, but so small amount of time...

  • Exepert village. Nuff said...

  • how would you counter a counter though?

  • Comment removed

  • @xXUNKNOWNXxSLAYER i do thai boxing or muay thai if your asking.

  • What If Were Fighting With Bruce Lee

  • lame as as a fighter grabs my arm do you think I am going to be like ok dude here is my arm???? Hell no as soon as someone grabs me or my arm I am going to rip it back, period, this application is not applicable in real time fighting!! ok period!!

  • @frontlines101 hes doing it slow for demonstration purposes. if he did it in real time you wouldnt have time to jerk your arm back before its hyper extended at the elbow.

  • People Have Legs And A right arm too

  • Why the switch of hands? Why not just block and grab with the same hand you switched to?

  • 0:14 is a right cross KO first, second, @TheAikidoBush, i hear what your saying man, it's not always about how strong tall or fast you are. none of it matters if you scare yourself into punch eye or developing a glass jaw, it's all a mental fight. And I think that's probably the hardest

  • i catch the fist, twist his arm, then kick him in the back of the head HARD.

  • I've seen people pay good money to learn that move.

  • u do it wrong ±

    u have to hit his cheek or his head, he will be K.O and he wont bother you aneymore :)

  • I once got hit by a guy and didn't even see it coming lol.

  • i could woop all yall asses for real

  • what kinda fighting style is this?

  • I can't even catch a punch my reflex is terrible

  • are there other ways to defend against a punch other then starting with a push carry press???

  • Wait how do you know their going to punch?

  • you can't catch a punch/parry with your palm: you will either break your hand or have your face broken. The only way you can do this technique is if you block first with the forearm and do some distracting strike, like a kick to the shins or something. THEN you can grab their hand and continue as you suggest. Of course, the best defense is not being there, so I would suggest emphasizing stepping out of the way. Also, everyone watching should know self-defense is not a thing learned quickly.

  • "Christian" ..Martial arts ....? ....turn the other cheek then ....LMAO...use your faith to block ...LOL

  • aa i've never seen a guy attack with a jab in a street fight (sorry gor the horible english)

  • you almost look like michael scofield

  • i like the " drunk friend" variation. good stuff guys

  • this happens alot more fast than you think

  • First of all you are left handed. Most arn't most are right handed, this presents another problem. But I digress. when you first step right ignore grabbing the arm, ignore the over complicated manuever. Step, right in a back hand motion closed fist to nicks left eye. Follow through with direct blow to nicks right eye or nose. Fight over. You are over complicating the point of confrontational combat. Avoid violence, counter with violence in quick, short, immediate steps to end the fight!!

  • The book of 5 rings. The main problem with these techiniques is they are just that techniques. Working very well in a dojo, working very well with a sparing partner. Not so well in real life. So lets take this from the top. Grabing the punch will only work if the opponent has over extended himself. Most won't. Most throw quick in out jabs. If one cannot simple block the punch, its easier to move out of the way and counter. Rather than waste time attempting such a manuever like you show!

  • The concept of parrying/catching the arm, and then attacking the elbow joint...I learned that in Systema.

  • can u manipulate the wrist in ufc?

  • MOST people won' t be able to grab a punch or jab in the air,..I'm no pro, and I CAN throw a fairly quick jab....and most attackers are gonna come at you with both arms flying...this MA stuff is OK and all and it can help, but it aint real world

  • Why are you reaching out for a punch that would never hit you?

  • gets harder if he hit's with the right:P

  • @fjaalle Depends wether you are left-handed or right-handed. Just an example, which might not include everybody: My friend (training TKD) is strongest in his right leg, but he kicks faster and more accurate with his left leg. He says that it is because he has to concentrate more when using his left leg, as he is "right-legged" in.. Let's say soccer/football. Remember, force is massxspeed, so you can compensate mass for speed and vice versa ;)

  • i watch expert village for a laugh

  • @GladiatorShield i fucking destroyed him and broke his collar bone

  • yea!! now everyone can defend their self from bullings :P , he realy teachs you things you can use and explain why and how it works so thanks and great job

  • thanks for the vid

  • i will just ride over him with my tank :D

  • thanks this kid is suppossed to kick my ass tommorow

  • @lagswitcherupper how did it go..........

  • i tried this when i was in a fight but he almost punched me in the stomach with his other free arm. i was lucky i was fast enough to dive away but do you have any tips to beat him with his free arm or something? srry for my bad english, im dutch ;)

  • @gozertje567 1st of all its not a good idea to learn how to fight off of a video. second off you dont know if the moves work or not (dont battle test it yourself), and second of all you cant understand all of the variables and counters to a technique in a one minute video. My advice, take a real martial art at a real school. As for this stuff in the video, leave it alone-it's not practical. If u can manage to "push,parry,press" a punch, just hit the guy in the face. If he attacks with the other-

  • @gozertje567 arm, hit him harder until he learns who is in control. Kicks to the groin and wrist locks will send the message fast.

  • i was getting bullied first and then i watched all your videos, really those guys are scared of me right now :D

  • when you grab his arm his free arm punches you in the stomack and then it all goes wrong...

  • @SnowVizdom Well when someone punches, they punch with momentum (or at least that's the point of a punch) and for them to counter with their right arm will take them a bit of time for them to reverse the momentum back to their right arm.

  • i really want to learn from you

  • what if ur fighting a wild mothta fluck how r we supose 2 do tht

  • @zeroroc1 cos with the amount of counter attacks you can utalize with this one simple block is enough surely to hurt him enough for him to realise he's in shit, another thing i noticed was you could go directly into a choke hold from behind the opponant. Taking away a apponents oxygen supply is a sure way of bringing someone who is just swinging left and right as oxygen is needed to supply the muscles with that kind of energy to be able to go crazy. Police commonly use this tactic.

  • @zeroroc1 keep both hands up if there just throwing hooks

  • @zeroroc1 keep both hands up if there just throwing hooks and keep stepping back then jab

  • @zeroroc1 plow through em because a lot of times if they're swinging like monkeys they're going to be weak punches so you take a few hits and get through and hopefully take them out.

  • @zeroroc1 profound and brilliant question; couldn't have asked it better myself

  • @zeroroc1 lol the wild fighters are the easiest, im guessing you mean the ones who completely lose their temper and just start swinging like crazy, all you need to do is get them somewhere low (groin, stomach, legs) or you can trip them but they are pretty dangerous if you get really close to

  • He was out of range when he attacked. Not the worst technique in the world, but the demonstration suggests a poor understanding of tactics.

  • Lets hope he punches you at half speed son.

  • and pray and that was that shot ranging and they say lets leave him. i m sure if u are getting rape gun to head and you cry out to jesus u scare the shit out the offender. so you ll asses better shut up go head young man do your thing

  • if it is christian martial arts or not it is still helpful . one move could floor an offender. i numerous time i got my self out of trouble with one move. no matter how good you are you could never be prepared for an attack that is sudden. you just jealous of him. let him do his thing man. you never one just one blow to an offender and hes down. sometimes you dont need to fight i remember this rasta man was about to get beaten up by five cops cause they wanted bulldoze his home he knelt

  • Although I appreciate these sorts of videos and whilst it is easy to be a 'nay sayer' I'm truly not sure that this sort of blocking would work even after years of training. A jab is extremely fast and if the person attacking you is using one it is likely he/she has had some training and so will be relatively efficient. It would be very difficult to do what is shown above unless the attacker wildly over commits or leaves their arm hanging out, both unlikely.

  • do i have to be christian to enter your classes?

  • That works. If you're super fast and you know he's gonna use that attack and won't try to use his other hand while you figure what your punch is gonna be. ;)

  • Don't just think by watching these videos your going to be a "street fighter", you need to train your mind if any thing, because how are you going to know if they are even going to attack or not. -- Your not, so you need to observe, and be aware of the attacker... Using body language skills, or just wait for him to attack; thinking about deflecting the attack and then countering, even if he doesn't then your ready if he does. Besides; You want to be a true fighter? -- Then don't fight.

  • @TheAikidoBush not to mention training at doing it. As said, just watching this vids doesnt make you a street fighter

  • @TheAikidoBush no offense but that part at the end just makes u sound like a Quaker and a half unless u mean fight only if 100% necessary like in self defense or maybe defending family for an example if some guy hurts my sister I'll beat him down till he's dust cought in the cracks of the sidewalk

  • @MRRYON0626

    Self Defense I agree with, but if you can get out of it, do so. I mostly meant Don't Start Fights or enter a Fight.

  • @TheAikidoBush You just said what I was thinking.

  • @TheAikidoBush WORD. Also look how that guy counters the punch. Nobody's gonna jus' stand there and let the guy just grab their arm. If he grabs me like that, I'll boot him in the gut way before he moves in. In fact, when he grabs the arm, he should do a sidekick to "soften up the ribs."

  • Comment removed

  • @TheAikidoBush and you cant learn fighting from a video...

  • This is that stupid christian martial arts, seiously this is an insult to the religion, im not christian and i dont care to believe or not believe in god, but dont the rules say no violence????????

  • @thecheeseycheese dude martial arts aint just about fighting it's about building up confidence and by the way what if someone is charging at you with a knife?, your dead if you dont know how to disarm them and knock a few punches in their face thats why its good to know karate, boxing etc

  • is that boxing

  • "Expert Village" needs to change their name to "Idiot Village". I can't name how many bad videos Ive seen come from this channel.

    I doubt this kid has ever been in a serious fight or has ever had to defend his life. Most fights just don't go down this way. This is a prime example of Amerikan kids being raised and "educated" by Hollywood. No surprise either that hes a Christian nutball. They are the easiest suckers to fall for this shit...

  • easier way...step back, he misses and while he recovers, you snap your straight at him...boom

  • thanks

  • dicks,ha you hav no Qlu

    

  • mark zuckermen is going down.......

  • This is Possible You just need a lot of reflex training... which is tough but if you can nail it. then your good.

  • I don't agree with this method. If I were in a fight (aka street fights) I doubt my attacker will leave his arm extended for me to do this counter. I prefer stepping into the inside of the punching arm and blocking it whilst at the same time launching my fingers straight into his eyes then stepping out to his side and sweeping his leg forward while pushing him back. My method is more devastating and eliminates the immediate threat. I have won many a fight with sober and drunk people at the pub

  • You need fast instincts :D

  • from personal experience when you have his neck grab it and pull back while your pushing your knee into his back to flip him thats what i did

  • Now what you want to do after you've caught and parried the dude's punch is pull your revolver and cap him then walk away I REPEAT walk away if the cops show up and your still standing around admiring how in the fuck you managed to catch a punch your screwed.

  • step one rape his arm off until you can get close enough to the spine to inject the crystal meth

  • What if hes not right handed...

  • if he's not right handed... pray to the lord

  • you call that a counter ?

  • that cool

  • why not just ask jesus for help lol...

  • @almir20medic lol

  • Do you have a video of you sparing and any of this working?

  • this are real working techniques people :S

  • punch here and do that, blah blah...what again??? sorry,kid, this aint a method, maybe in your dojo with ur friend.do that in street with a tall furious guy.

  • scratch across the face. Ouch that almost stings a little

  • i did this to a bully he when to the hospitel with a broken hand and spin

  • @Malancinas send him to Bully Beatdown : -D

  • this is hilarious

  • why not block and grab with the same hand.. idiots.

  • to bad you cant stock ammo any more. You never know what training your attacker has had.

    protecting your self is an in the moment thing. this video is a good thing thou, is all ways good to know what your options are. Doing what they say may keep you alive long enuff to have your come back. When your life is in danger by an attacker that is going for the kill, best bet is to kill them 1st. dont hesitate

  • What style is this? it certainly isn't karate cos you don't use Hikite grabbing the arm, pulling and twisting whilst activating the radial nerve will pull him offbalance while you control him using TW11 or TW12,you're way too far out to make the technique work.your not attacking his centre line.If he pulls his punching arm back basic motor reflex you're gonna get punched or you're in a standing grappling situation.

  • What if you're fighting Chuck Norris? D:

  • suck my deck

  • suck my deck

  • what if you're attacked by someone who doesn't throw a single strike and and then become paralyzed?

  • what is wrong with expert village. the subtitles are blocking

  • what if ur fighting some karate speciallist who can actually punch real hard?

  • you can catch the punch, i've done that 3 times !!! all you need is to stay calm !!! and this guy is great!! i love his teaching !!! many of these techniques are very useful to me !!! stop talking shit about him !!!

  • @parkourman350 Seriously, it's not just the catching of the punch. Staying calm, having enough experience to read the movements of your opponent and playing with distance to lure him into the punch can get you that far, yes. But the way this guy is teaching and showing it and his follow ups with a very unrealistic attacker will get people in trouble.

    It's not just this video; I have yet to see a video of him that won't get you in trouble. Consider it warning viewers instead of talking shit

  • Pahh , why put these techniques on youtube , if hes a mugger see how many times u get knife raped before you can do this.

  • Try it in a fight and see how dumb u look

  • I stumbled upon this looking for boxing techniques to practice.. what are these lies I see instead?

  • remember  your experience may differ.

  • soften up the ribs a little bit

  • expertvillage is horrible

  • @JonUhhThan

    Ex what ???

    Dreamingkids village sounds more appropriate :-)

    Kids really watch too much movies

    muahahah

  • Bullshit.. youll never catch that! Thats a dead drill ... check out "aliveness matt thornton" on youtube

  • y does a lot of videos of people defending punches the punch doesnt reach the person thats y its easy to defend, im not saying this technique doesnt work, im just saying the punch needs to go a little faster and closer so it can actually hit the victim

  • push, pair and press, simple my ass - -

  • To everybody questioning reaction time: I'm not a martial artist, but I am a boxer. I can tell you Nick telecasted his jab by jerking his forward shoulder which is something everybody does who is untrained and decides to throw a jab. If their hands are up, and the lead shoulder jerks, then it 'IS' a jab that's coming. This shoulder jerk is something which skilled counterpunchers watch for in boxing, and it is perfectly applicable outside the ring.

  • Of course, the "attack" at 1:17 could have been stopped by simply not moving. The attacker was punching so that at maximum extension the attack would still be about 6 inches away from the target. This sort of demonstration is usually better when the attacker is actually doing a decent attack. Anything else is pretty pointless.

    Incidentally, if this is how they train, it would explain why they think the can catch a punch like that.

  • yes, soften those ribs for me will you, for we will dine TONIGHT!

  • ....only couwards use guns in a fight -_-*

  • hes not "catching" the punch you just hit it away..thats a lot easier

  • no one gonna punch you like the guy named Nick they are just gonna smash on your face xD

  • its hard but it is possible

  • @helpingyou1000 ok im not saying its easy to catch a punch but all it takes is really good timing

  • what if your opponents arm is like really thick, because the opponent is fat? xD

  • or usernamesaregay222@ you can shoot him in the balls when he tries to kick you

  • oh pretty simple.The part that would be the most challenging is catching the punch to the face.

  • and the odds of catching a punch are...

  • does expertville have any on throwing fireballs

  • I'll knock this guy the fuck out trying to pull this shit on me. I used to box when i was young my record was 20-0. don't listen to this guy. You'll get beat the fuck up against skillful fighters

  • you can always rely on expertvillage to find the ''experts'' still, you know what they say about experts, an ex is a 'has been' and spurt is a drip under pressure

  • This works....if you are fighting in slow motion...

    Come on guys everyone knows that real punches are way too fast to be countered or dodged

  • 0:40 - is it possible when you are trying to grab the head to push them out of the way, you can swipe his leg and the same time holding on to his back of the head and planting his head on the ground faced first?

  • Dam, Thanks I got beat up lots :(

  • couldn't u punch the guy in the face after u blocked the punch

  • how about if he is taller than you?

  • if he's talller than you then when he swings, stab him with your knife.

  • @usernamesaregay222

    AHAHA lol havent laughed so hard a comment in a while XD

  • duck your way in real close, get ahold of him, then work the body till you get a chance to sneak in an inside shot right under the jaw. lights out.

  • overhand or run

  • i have read some of the comments above about a boxer or a mma fighter being able to throw a punch so fast that he would be unable to block any of them. that none of these blocks would work on bodybuilders etc, etc........dont you people realise that most muggers etc dont have the common knowledge that most of the above people do, if they did, they wouldnt be mugging people etc. personally i like his attitude and wish him well.

  • I think some work on distancing needs to be done as each time the attacker throws a jab he is way too far away and would never have connected

  • if he was the bad guy you dont need to be trained! lol!!!!

  • you cute 2

  • dam ur a ninja lol

  • people that are like, scratching against the face!?! what the hell!?? he's saying that because these techniques are for the every day person to learn to defend themselves...

  • huge issue...this only works if someone throws a left XD

  • but instead of doing all this u could just use super matrix bullet time,dodge then shoot him in the face with the disapearing handguns on the floor

  • omg thinks he can shatter the arm what a mistaker to maker

  • hehe......i cant belive how much ppl thinks that they are Marshal art Instructors :)

  • Anybody could be a martial arts instructor.

  • scratching across the face? :p

  • yeh right try to cach a punch like that in the street

    in my opion the best thing to do is to block your face and tuck in your belly when he throws the punch at you and you block it wont cause much damege which gives you direct atvantege to counter attack

  • @stevengood12..with opinions like that it seems to me you get your ass handed to you alot dont you?

  • haha,probly does

  • your moms ass is getting handed me so i could spank that bich all night long

    the fuck out of here with your fake butter boody ass nigga

  • Hell yeh what you said!!!

  • When someone gives a jab,it will also mean that the punch will retract fast isn't it?Then where is the time to grab it?Besides,it is not so easy to grab a punch.

  • i think you watch to much youtube sucker

  • wow..im realy scared of all the guys on youtube...one guy is more dangerous than the other....simply impressing..

  • good luck catching a punch you dreamers.

  • catching a punch isnt that hard......

  • @kranskyyy you can grap a punch :P if he punch near your head
