 And I freaked out I thought was like a home invasion or something and I go running Oh, I get up and I go running to where I normally keep the gun and I didn't have it there I put it somewhere else So for a good like 30 seconds, I'm looking around my house fucking where is it? Boom boom boom on the front door and I'm freaking out finally I get it I go over to the front door and I go who is it and as I look through the people it's covered up So I couldn't fucking see who it was So I'm fucking freaking out like orange. I'm preparing to act and then all of a sudden the thumb comes off And it's like two high school girls and they're like oh, let's carry here and they'd have the wrong house So they were fucking kicking on my door and also to one of my friends in high school one of my best friends Pound it on his door. He just opened it because he thought it was his cousin didn't even look Two guys came in and did a home invasion on them shotguns took them down tied them up with an extension cord tied up his little cousin with an extension cord kicked the guy in the head they thought he had all this money he did like flooring like vinyl flooring so he's not rolling on the dough at all and They ended up trying to go over to the stove and heat up spoons on the stove and they were gonna burn them and torture them and Luckily, they were idiots and they turned on the oven and out the stove And they couldn't figure out a fucking use it and after a while they got tired they ended up leaving but right after that He came to one of my gun classes after he was like fuck I can never let that happen again Actually right after it happened to he went outside they left they took his car keys They took off his phone and everything he goes outside. He's in this nice building There's a security guard going around he's like I just fucking got robbed the guys had guns pointed at me Like my friends are still tied up I just got robbed and the security guard wouldn't even call 9-1-1 because he's like I can't get involved You got to call 9-1-1 so even worse than the police not taking care of us They can't be held liable for not doing their job security officers are Pretty dumb most of us who know those guys and see my Walmart and shit But uh, they won't even fucking call the police because they're like oh, I can't be involved They're just there's a presence. They're instructed not to get involved So you're really on your own So martial arts training and this to me is being aware is number one because if you're aware you can always avoid this stuff And I had one of my students one of my PUA students was talking to me He said I was in this I was out at the beach and some guy wanted to fight me and I was like no I didn't want to fight and he ended up leaving and he goes afterwards I just felt like the biggest pussy because I backed down and I didn't explain to him I was like dude what did you what did you want to have happen that night? Did you want to get in a fight or did you want to not get in a fight and walk away? He goes I didn't want to get in a fight. I wanted to walk away. Okay, so your decision of the outcome that you wanted is what happened Why is that a problem? And even me like I'm I've done a couple cage fights years ago. I've done Brazilian Jiu Jitsu I've done Kali I've done a lot of stuff which I'm gonna get into in a second But even me if I'm out I don't want to fucking get a fight because someone could just pull a knife out One of his buddies I don't see one little poke and it could be over I could be really fucked up You guys have all seen those YouTube videos of people Pounding on someone and just stomping them and fucking them up and knocking their teeth out and all this crazy I don't have anything to prove so I never have a problem walk away from anything But if I needed to fit myself if someone draws me to that level. Yeah, I've done enough training with knives guns empty hand I'll probably be okay, but martial arts training Bad news guys We were lied to Karate kid crane kick None of that shit works You guys all watch UFC yes Okay, did you guys ever watch the old UFC's we're talking about this earlier? Okay, when it was style versus style and you learn really hard and fast what worked and what didn't and the jet Lee Taekwondo now that stuff works my argument is if that stuff worked George St. Pierre would be using it All these guys would be using I now people might say Anderson Silva did the little jump kick and stuff recently That's just a front kick. That's not and so did Machida, but that's nothing crazy So doing stuff like this and waiting for him Doesn't work and also a lot of martial arts are complete bullshit because they'll teach and I studied it for years, too The guy throws the punch you block you step out of the line of attack trap strike grab throw down You don't get to do six moves and the guy does one move and he just freezes there and waits for you to do all this stuff You guys have seen this in the any boxing you have see it's one move for one move It's like checkers or chess It's back and forth so the guy throws the punch and you trap it or even parrying it in boxing You'll very rarely see guys and you have see be able to just parry and push it down But Taekwondo tanks I did tanks who don't as a kid I did I key jiu-jitsu which is a 400 I keto and kin jitsu which is a 400 kendo So it's even more like old-school and traditional Man, we used to like block and it was like 12 moves or something like really the guy's gonna stand there It's horrible. So if you are gonna study martial art Look at any of the stuff that works Brazilian jiu-jitsu is my number one Learn a striking system. So boxing boxing or kickboxing and then also obviously Weapons, I'm a big fan of Filipino martial arts. So Kali the cost a screema any of those kind of arts I did sat Kali for a while and I saw one of the guys last year wearing the sat Kali shirt up here in the When you go to the website, that's awesome stuff And one of the guys I trained for was like I think the only American guy was like actually an instructor in like four different Kali systems and those are pretty fucking nasty things. I was like stick fighting knife fighting I've broken my nose multiple times. I've been tased. I've been pepper sprayed. I've been some crazy shit But doing the Kali training was like one of the hardest most difficult things I've ever done and it's awesome I love it. So one of my friends just emailed me Four or five days ago a guy from high school, too, and he goes oh my fiance We want to get like a weapon for when she's walking her dog because we're worried about Her being able to like defend herself take care of the dog if there's like a pit bull rolling around And who just someone just had to shoot a pit bull the other day Okay, so someone just had a shoot a dog and it once again YouTube this shit You can see the police officers having to fight like a pit bull and stuff and it's insane how fast they are And so let's leave the force options. I Was gonna say no one here's a cop, but actually there's someone but for most of us We are police. We don't have a job where we actually have to apprehend someone I don't have to take someone into custody my only job is to defend myself and my loved ones So I don't need less lethal force options because if I have less lethal and someone has lethal And I'm gonna pepper spray someone who has a knife or a gun That's insane and also if I'm justified in using a taser or a stun gun or pepper spray on someone because I'm in fear of my safety more than likely I'm justified in using lethal force also So less lethal force options I'm sure you guys know a lot about these pepper spray People get it for their girlfriends. They put it in the bottom of the purse How long is it gonna take you to pull it out? And even cops don't even like pepper spray because what happens they spray it and the winds going around everyone gets cross-contaminated They usually don't practice with that much. So I'll spray it and have you guys ever done with deodorant or cologne Where you go and this is it totally? Okay, so imagine pepper spray. I've been pepper spray in our fucking store I worked at one of our customers like let me see this and accidentally just blasted me right in the face And I used to train with calling they pepper spray us and his mistakes and all that too when we trained through it but this is when I was younger and He's just sitting there and I'm paying attention to right in my face So if you can do that on accident when there's zero stress When you're like fighting somewhere our dogs coming at you the girls not gonna be able to dig in her purse Pull this thing out that she's never practiced with undo the button flip the safety and then spray it know where that line of Attack's gonna be so I'm not a fan of pepper spray and some people keep it in the car or something But the heat in Arizona can make it blow up, but you can't fucking go in your car And it's so powerful too that someone sprayed it in the trash can at our gun range before which is like a 40,000 square foot warehouse, and then we had like almost evacuated the whole building. It was so fucking bad People were coughing and stuff People say mace but mace is a chemical pepper spray stronger, and it just comes from peppers Ocea listerine capsulate. It's like two million Scoville heat units Which is I think like a jalapenos like a hundred or something or a thousand and then you guys ever watch man versus food Where it's like the ghost chilling. It's like a million or something. So yeah pepper spray they have like two million five million It's insane And when my brother got hit with it. He said it was through the police Academy. He said it was the worst thing He's ever done and he's he was mr. Teen Arizona as a bodybuilder. He's a cop he's a cage fighters didn't weigh more cage fights of me and He got hit with it instead. It was the worst thing he's ever been through wasn't that bad for me I was able to like totally Functioned through it now taser was fucking horrible for me, and he thought it wasn't that bad So it also shows you that if someone gets zapped with something it might not that you can be that effective And you're used to seeing something the guy's gonna freak out Well if he's on drugs, maybe he's very determined if they're drunk or if there's one of the people doesn't affect him as much It's worthless And just counting like your life and safety on some pepper spray that's been sitting in your purse for five years Insane so my friend who's doing those walks. He asked about stun guns He's like well, I don't want to carry like pepper spray Maybe a stun gun and I was like dude like a pit bulls coming at you and you just want to shock it Go like bad dogs. They have like shock collars for dogs. That's all it is It's you have a shock collar to teach a dog not to bark when it barks it zaps on the neck after a few zaps They'll quit barking. I was like that's not gonna stop them I used to get stun guns and to show people how worthless they were when they'd buy them and come to our range I was at myself and hold it in the leg. I even did a field report on this old style I former I was there. I was like Stun gun DHV and I would just go yeah, this wouldn't stop me But people think because the movies that you get zapped with a stun gun and you go And you fall and hit the ground But if you think about it only has these little metal electrodes that are that big so when you zap it It only is gonna affect that muscle area so the taser See I perfectly say the taser is stronger It's on a different frequency where it actually overloads the muscles to where like when I got hit It felt like the worst muscle cramp I ever had and I couldn't control any muscles like on my ankle And on my shoulder and I went on my tiptoes my cast fucking cramped up And it felt like I was getting hit with like baseball bats every time it cycled. It was fucking horrible Took everything I had not to scream like a girl when I got zapped So I was around all my friends and this is before every police department was carrying them and stuff too because they are the Rep came and he's like, oh, yeah, we sell tasers like those are fucking worthless That's not gonna work and then right then we were setting up our TV with the DVD in it of this guy Hans Marrero who I've trained also with them he was the former chief hand-to-hand instructor for the Marines and in this video he's getting ready to get zapped as They're setting up my zap This we hit play on this and he gets zapped and he's like huge and buff and he goes on he stopped Stop and they turn it off and they go how does this compare to other things you've been hit and he goes Oh, I got hit with a grenade once and he turns around has this giant scar on his back and they go what you do He goes, oh, I'm not gonna unconscious, but I woke up He was a dislocated my knee I popped my knee back in place duct taped it and continued on but he's like That's the worst thing I've ever been through and then like five seconds later They're like, all right Steve ready get zapped and I was like, oh fuck What did I get myself in but it's also the electrodes are spread out so anything that's in between it gets affected So it's a larger surface area. So stun guns and then also tasers You can do a dry stun where if you take the cartridge off or if you shoot and miss you can hit him with the front of it And you dry stuns with it, but again, it's only hitting that muscle area So if someone has a knife and they're in contact range and the knife can reach my throat and all I'm gonna do is zap I'm in the stomach and they'll go out and they'll bend over now. It's not making contact anymore. It's having no effect Ow now they slip my throat. I'm dead. Not a good defense and I even zap my ex Maybe that's why she's my ex by zapping the butt once with it at work with a stun gun And she just thought it was a rubber band hit nurse She was like ow, what was that? But people because they're trained from the movies and everything you think a stun gun hits you And the guy goes and falls and hits the ground doesn't work like that Another thing is asp, which is the collapsible ton. It's a brand of a baton
