Truly impressed by your level of understanding related to various martial arts. Glad to know u do weapons training as well as grappling. Very important. Thanks for the dedication and expertise. As a fellow martial artist, I appreciate your perspective. Ooss!

Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly that love and read more on this topic

I almost always read the same in all the books (WT, Karate, KravMaga): Going in is the right way - but it requires courage and determination. Whether it was the right way you will only see afterwards. A self-defense situation can never be calculated in advance.

Great video. I was sure this was going to be something stupid but was pleasantly surprised. Not often you see some of these youtube "trainers" perform what they are showing you at full speed. Subscribed!

Awesome. Makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

Just a brief comment if I may. I teach almost exactly this technique but I find it a tad more efficient to aim my initial touch toward the base of the hand(s) holding the weapon, then slide into the clinch. As long as you can touch the base of the weapon you can slow the swing enough to not be too dangerous. After that it's the same, taking the brunt on the arm and closing. I love this technique and it works well because shooting out your hands as you move in allows you to close the gap far faster than just stepping in. As far as some of the other techniques an attacker with a stick could do, like the stab, it's quite true that someone could do that if they are well trained but most of these other techniques are less damaging than a full swing at your head with a bat.

Bro... I am watching it because today is my result declaration and i want to defence from my parents lathi charge....😬🥺

Excellent and important also for sparring with stick/short pole. Because if the stick is your defensive weapon (not as here in the video) there may be attackers which know very well how to fight against stick (here in the role of defender against the stick). Good stick/short pole/staff kungfu forms have always various combinations of HIT and STOP(stab or block) techniques.

Good technique 👍

It´s a realistic YT channel. Shows the reality: it´s a very dangerous situation and is specially important 2 only fight as a last resort

I typically back out of range and let them do an overreach swing then charge when as they are rechambering for the same stroke again. This has limits against a really good stick fighter, but lower risk of the game-ending blow to the temple.

You can also dart quickly to the side (same side as their currently striking arm) or dart diagonally forward to that same side then attack or flee, continuing to move away.

Richard would have to build his speed a bit.....Shillelagh are an excellent fighting stick, to be sure. And the distinctly club like nature of the weighted top lends itself well to building of the strength and helping increase one's speed on the Kali sticks, through training the shillelagh in with it. A truly remarkable weapon indeed, the Shillelagh Irish Stick.

Its simple, you either stay back far enough to be out of reach. Or you get close to your attacker so they cant swing the stick, works against any blunt object. Blocking is a no no. You only put the hands up just in case. But its better to intercept the stick from gaining any momentum. By crowding your attacker. But once in close your fully commited and you have to react quickly to disarm or strike the attacker.

You can feel the most power when using strike number 1, that’s why most people use it. I’d focus on the hand using the stick until I crash and control it, then I’d focus on the other arm and the leg and try to take him down.

5:47 You should've lead with "i run the f*ck away" (remmember the best self defense is to not put yourself in dangerous situations)

Nice

sounds very much like someone who has been wacked by a good speed of a stick. Best way to learn how to not get hit is getting hit. I enjoyed this video.

I agree with Dan B. It's better to train against a machete or sword (which is a "stick" with a blade) The reality of it is you don't have time to check whether your attacker has a machete or a stick, so every second counts. Prepare for the the very worst case scenario

Very nice!! Oss

It's true if you are gonna fight a stick fighter in a street you need to get into a close range I had once fought a stick fighter firstly i gave a little long distance and when he missed to attack me i launched at him and attacked him you need to trust your instincts and start attacking no matter what I took some Muay Thai class and i already knew some self defence so sometimes its important to learn self defence to protect yourself in a street stay safe

I watch to defend myself from my mom when i failed test 😁😂😂😂😂😂

There is a simple principle in fighting, proximity negates skill. It may negate it a small amount, but that small amount may be what makes the difference between a chance to make it out alive or a busted skull. Many times the very simple things are the most effective or can turn the tide.

Nice, and that would be tons of fun to ask training partner hit with blindfolded and we trying to step in fast.

Here comes a low percentage question in hopes of you seeing this and responding to me. Will some of those Aikido moves like koto gaeishi work against a stick? I know we can forget the silly knife theory. Oh and i've been a big fan of your videos for a while. Subscribing

Learning self-defense cuz of my mother. Thanks mom🙂

In a nutshell, you can't backpedal forever when someone's chasing you, the only way out is through.

Ever heard of Blauer's Spear System? Because this looks a lot like that.

You put the edge of the hand to the outside, wouldn't it be better to put it downwards, so that if you miss you get hit on flesh and not on the forearm bone? Also, if you put it downwards the elbow doesn't create an angle, so the strike slides better if you miss, I think. Thoughts?

what if the attacker just feint then once you step into the "zone" he move back or he side step into your left or right and hit you in the back of your head with his stick?

Cool

No one attacks you flat-footed. They either swing stepping back or in, including during a side-step. Fights are dynamic and never have I ever seen anyone be static.But the best course of action is to NOT engage an armed person or to disengage an armed person. I agree that you should always defend your off-buttons, after all, it's better to have a broken wrist or arm than it is to have a broken skull. But the most important technique you can ever learn for self defense is to NEVER allow yourself to engage in an ego fight.

One day I'll develop a technique against a great big nasty banana...

I like the idea: get inside the arc of the weapon. But, wonder why an attacker would ever even take a swing at you from beyond the reach of the stick. Wouldn't he more likely be the one to close on *you* if he felt he had the (weapon) advantage and was intent on a confrontation?

For defense against a strike from the primary position, id probably block with my left forearm and step in to put him in a lock and drag him to the ground, or knee him in the groin or step in as I see him pulling back to charge up a strike, I will then go in and get my feet behind his with my right arm stretching from his armpit to his neck, then I will pull him down onto my knee to break his back or onto the concrete very forcefully to hurt him. If a stick can crack open a skull, I’m not taking a chance with it, I’ll likely run away.

Striking angle is true, but not for baseball bats, hockey sticks or garden tools like a rake. I know from experience.

the stick is like a gun at close range it is an element of sword and shield

That is possible and useful if your attacker has no knowledge of stickfighting. But, seasoned stickfighter, don't just swing their sticks haphazardly. In the Philippines, for example, nobody carries a stick in public. Many drivers carry a lead/steel pipe on their vehicles in the case of a fight, a concealed knife or bolo/sword in rural areas. Unless you have no other choice but to go inside quickly, a better option is to go outside the "zero pressure area", or sidestep to the extreme left where the stick power is almost nil.

Double step et side kick c est quoi

Defender can use own belt as weapon.

If it's against somebody that never tried to hit anyone this will probably work, against somebody who has any experience at all don't try this. Distance control is just as easy for the guy with the weapon and even overly telegraphed swings are faster than the human body. Everything you can do to engage an armed opponent while unarmed is desperation. Blocking hits with your forearm, shooting in for a grapple, single-leg, double-leg, trying to grab the weapon or wrist. It's all panicked risk taking. You might be able to get something done or you might sustain damage that you will never recover from. Just walk away.

Good explanation as most good intelligent stick fighters would not make a first strike to your head , it would be to shoulder,elbow ,knee,or feint to that side and hit on other,so someone unskilled would do that.And it works against a baseball bat. But still the best thing to do is walk away if possible. I saw an ex cop security guy off duty charge in just like that and take away the stick of a troublemaker and whack him a few good ones , pretty hilarious.

All essential elements are there except an attack. Pendulum step to a side kick with a eye jab fake at the same timing moment at you describe will be more efficient

what you suggests remains in their power arc... I'm not going to fight a stick in its optimal range. first you need to get into a position where he can't easily bludgeon you to death - from there you can progress to attacking with a throw.

This method seems certainly effective in most case, but as he mentioned, only appricable for not professional stick attacker. 90% maybe okay but I like to know other option. Otherwise we cant defend that 10% e.g. thrashing or other irregular stick movements.

Well, now that you posted this worldwide, most people seeing it are going to practice the feignt with thrust. There's always that aspect, now.

How about completing that " dive" head butting the attacker right in the face ?

And, you could enter 'after' the first swing and miss, when he is re-chambering for the next hit.

@Self-Defense Tutorials-- It happens many times when a street thug usually holds a stick or machete in both hands and perform 2 handed attacks. Just like we saw countering 1 handed attack here in the video, how can we counter that 2 handed attack (straightforward and sideways)? Eagerly waiting for the answer.

That's right. You WILL get hit. But running foward is faster than going backwards. Nobody said that it's easy but you CAN get the guy. But therefore you need to got more than only 1 step. And you will get it at your arm, the ribs...maybe the legs. BUT the major task is to protect the head. Go in! Hits on ribs and legs cause pain but do NOT stop the fight. And at least when you got hit at the ribs 1 or 2 times you WILL BE motivated to get this guy! 😉

Another way I figured out to close the distance, through live training, is to fake a shot. If you act as if to go for a take-down, they swing way too early and miss completely. It's then, when the sticks already past you, you close the distance. Only tried with baseball bat though, so that's a two-handed swing with a heavier weapon, which put them really off balance and very slow to reload another swing. I assume that's what makes my technique work. Care to try it with a stick in another video? :)

Thats more or less what i normally do : ) I normally try to draw that first strike out, make then miss, and enter. The idea is to enter just as the stick pass, almost as if you wanted to jump into a stab. Obviously works better if they dont know how to flow, as their own inercy slows them. Also, being just oute of range for 1 or 2 strikes usually cause people to hit advancing too much (predicting your retreat), then you jump in more easily. Thoughts? Tweaks you do to make it easier? Mistakes I make?

Check out tony blauer spear system. It is realistic, practice & pressure tested.

Simple: there are only four angles they can come from with a stick cocked back (it applies to any kind of attack: foot, hand, stick, sword, etc) and a poke to the belly with a stick will have little effect, so three angles.

If they have baseball bat manage the distance and wait till after he swings and get very close if its anything thing else shoot a low single
