    Thank you very much for this great educational lesson for self-defense/self-protection. Your book 'When Violence is the Answer' is one of the best books I have ever read. It all makes sense and it is putting the principles of self-defense in the right perspective, exactly as my self-defense teacher said about your book. Your most important message according to my self-defense teacher as well as my own understanding is your very clear message: violence is rarely the answer, but when it is, it is the only answer (life threatening situations). Thank you again and best wishes and regards!

    This is great. The only thing I would add is if he had the knife to the throat either prior or at the very least, simultaneously, I would move the knife and/or myself off line. That is not a cut I would take. If he cut your jugular or carotid either could be fatal quickly and not leave you with the ability to do any of those options.

They vomited and shit there pants ,left in fetal position on the floor . She was never picked on again , and got huge respect from others at school for defending herself . BUT SHE COULD OF KILLED HER ATTACKER , IF SHE HAD STRUCK WITH MORE FORCE. YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THIS MANUVOUR , AS A KILL SET , NEEDS TO BE UNDERSTOOD , AS BEING DEADLY . WELL DONE .

There are so many "sheeple" out there that will willingly become victims because they either lack confidence, skills or basic survival instinct, thinking that if they give up their money, car keys or jewelry that the perpetrator will let them live. Obviously flight should be the first response if at all possible.

    Tim sorry to be critical and this is just my opinion from someone who trained a lot of ju jitsu over the years, that second elbow strike looks really slow and clumsy for a quick follow-up. You have to actually step forwards and reverse your whole momentum to get any force in to it. So much can go wrong in that time. Initially I assumed you would forearm strike with tip of the elbow smashing in to them as a fast momentum movement stepping in with your right leg and right forearm. That reverse just seems like very precious seconds to deliver it. Even a palm strike to the solar plexus or better a side forwards skip to the left and a hard right hook to mid section seems more intuitive. If someone learning this doesn't know how to hook then there is little point them trying to deliver that elbow strike. Someone in your face is likely to have their chin tucked right in to put their forehead down and forwards to intimidate like that head roll they do to you forehead to forehead. Any chance of getting through to the throat is not very likely. Feel free to defend this and criticise me I didn't say it to make out I'm some hard nut, it's just a polite observation.

    Great stuff. Elbow hits don't come to mind instictivly though. I'd say do what ever you feel like. This may sound weird but instincts are buried deep within. So shove a thumb in the eye. (Feels like a boiled egg FYI) Stomp on his toes! Later you might remember what actually works. But if you don't do anything... You will get your butt kicked. But go for the throat! That gets the job done! But if you can't remember? Do anything. Why? It buys you time. It's the element of surprise. It gives you the initiative. Also, always look for cans of Heinz white beans. And throw them. Grab a chair! Hit him with that. Keep the distance. Run away. Talk your way out of it. It's mostly drunk people that fight who has missed the signals that they are in a dangerous situation. Stay sober, stay fit. And run away. Very underrated. But a backhand slap in the face is also great. Easy to practise. Buys you time. Tilts his head. Comes out of nowhere. Is he fat? Just move and jump around and run. Fat people can't catch up. Warn them if they try, they will get a heartattack.

    What about kicking the side of the knee with your right shin to disable mobility before putting some distance between you and an assailant with an edged weapon? With the assailant hunched over having taken a shot to the groin, I would be tempted to either knee them in the chin/throat or attack the legs with a sweep to the heel or a kick to the side of the knee. Hand placement over the groin means attacking the body (groin or sternum) is likely to put your leg in position to be caught or cut, even inadvertently. Attacking away from the assailant's hand and weapon makes more sense to me, hence the attack to the exposed head or legs. If they have a knife, my first concern is disabling them enough to put some distance between them and me and my loved ones, so putting them on the ground and injuring a leg is sensible because it buys me time while hindering their ability to pursue...

If you strike the head or throat the head goes up and back exposing the torso and groin. Do you know from where the first strike hits what body targets will be exposed next when the body reacts from being hit on the first strike? Good effective system. Thanks Tim!!

    One must always keep in mind that not everyone will react exactly this way due to size, strength, pain tolerance, physical fitness, previous training, heavy clothing, or just not hitting the target squarely. Serious athletes, career criminals who have been beaten, stabbed or shot before, experienced martial artists with instinctive defensive reflexes, or attackers on drugs which cause them to feel no pain may not react as planned. One must train for both success and failure of every technique. Chaining one's techniques by not assuming that three or four will be sufficient, but rather that one after another indefinitely must be landed until the attacker is neutralized is essential. Maybe three will work, maybe ten, maybe thirty, or maybe one hundred will be required. Or maybe one is so badly overmatched that an improvised weapon in order to equalize the fight will be needed. Or maybe the only way to survive is to strike, create some injury, and run. Plan A, the "one, two, three, four; he is out" model is great if it works, but if not one needs plans B-Z in place to survive.

    I realize you want to focus on principles, but techniques also work. Your scenario of your partner loosely holding a knife to your throat and you stepping in to deliver a forearm strike to the throat seems likely to work. But let's imagine a similar situation where a strong man is choking a smaller woman from the front. I doubt that the woman would be able to step forward to deliver a forearm strike to the throat because the stronger man would keep her from moving forward. But, she could sweep one arm from underneath and then over the man's arms, trapping them, pulling him forward off balance, then stepping in to deliver a knee to his thigh. Then, from there, she could kick to the groin or go for the throat or knee. Just my thoughts.

    The chances of you landing four strikes in a row are slim. Also predicting a reaction isn’t as close to 100 % as you might think. I get the point though, but this is assuming everything lands perfectly right? I guess if you go first and immediately it has a way better chance to work.

So you have them in a group of logical progression it said strike hits target. I totally agree with your point of a lack of explanation from other systems.

    Stuff he says makes sense but what hes not talking about is the involuntary flinch or what happens if you don't get the strike a hundred percent when someone has a knife you may not have a second chance. They say it's based on science but you don't always get every strike perfect . Especially if the guy is 80 pounds heavier and hrs big and strong you may not get the perfect lethal strike.

    But Tim, if he's hunched over, isn't he likely going to be obscuring his solar plexus area? Even if he's holding his groin, his forearms might be partially covering his solar plexus. So while it's logical to hit him in the groin twice, I can't see how going back to the solar plexus is reliable, unless you struck with the knee of the leg you didn't use to kick his nuts, because it would've been chambered for power in rear leg position. What do you think guys??

    This is a good teacher which has a lot of ways you can add to your street fighting. Myself, with over 27 years in Kenpo Karate, we use strikes exactly like these. Take your opponent's 1. Sight away 2. Breath away 3. Balance away This is a movement I used myself when three men came up on me with knives to take my life not my money. As they got into "MY" circle of attack, I pulled into a cat stance left leg slightly forward, standing slightly on the ball of this leg to kick his balls, he brought his knife out from behind his back. I pushed off my back right leg into a 1. Cobra strike ( open right hand sticking my fingers into his eyes. . 2. at the same time bringing my left open hand across my stomach pushing the blade away 3. As he went backward in pain and screaming a kick from my back leg into his balls was not needed because he had already fallen holding his hands over his eyes. Remember, I had his partners standing on both sides of me to grab my arms while he stabbed me but they were thrown off because I brought the fight to them before they could grab my arms. The fight was over by the count of one thousand two and his friends did not want to touch me because they saw how fast I had taken their leader out. Understand, this man who was going to kill me lost his left eye for life, I went home to my 20 year old wife and four year old daughter.

    I don't have a problem with any of this however. Tim's right about the throat and the groin but what about an eye strike first off then hit the throat? If you want a diaphragm strike then I'd go for a punch down to it. You just created space between you attacker and you. Why close that gap you just earned? Elbows are for close in and for the trained. If after your groin strike the attacker postures down like that then why not kick him in the face or knee him depending on the distance. And if you're close and the knee is the option then grab the attacker behind the head why stop at one strike since you have control of the head? Generally if you're going to use elbows and knees you want to break bone or crush cartilage and one should expect blood.

    Agree Lenny....I've taken Krav for years and not a commercial watered down version but an evolving version and one in which we get weapons into every drill we can to see what happens. I've followed Tim for over 20 years, enjoy his info and agree w/ him as well, especially in target choices. In Krav we preach shutting the computer down, as Tim does. Overriding the brain w/ extreme pain. Pain that elbows, knees and shins bring to vital spots. You have to take the fight out of the opponent as quick as possible but we use an acronym for all of our gun and knife defenses....RCAT. Redirect, control, attack and takeaway and must go in that order. If you try to attack or takeaway a weapon and it is still free you are likely to get shot or stabbed. So in this video demo, we would grab the knife arm (wrist) with 'opposing c's' , (baseball bat grip), get that knife away from the throat a few inches and as we are doing that (we redirected and controlled) then start the same attack Tim did, we use our shins as baseball bats and keep kicking the groin till the threat is over or the knife drops. if they pull away, we go with them and keep attacking as we have control of that arm. I've NEVER had someone able to pull away and get free in the drills we do and Im not a big guy, its all technique. We have found and you will see in any real life attack video, the opponent will ALWAYS, 100% of the time try to pull their weapon back as you go for it or attack. You have to redirect and control first or chances are they still have use of that weapon.
