One of the best and underrated self-defense instructors on KZread. He even admits he has made mistakes and got caught before…. You learn from mistakes and losses.. Real dude..

100% A brilliant person learns from all mistakes, theirs and others.

My instructor said there’s no shame in walking away or even running. Try to talk person down and try to leave. But if the other person was not going to allow you to leave, then choose YOUR time to strike, do it hard and fast, and get off the X (get away).

Love that comment Nick... "... You could slip." I got into a confrontation where the guy was on my car window before I could get out. Eventually I pushed him back so I could get out of my car, but when I stepped out, I lost my balance and he slammed the car door on me. After a couple of shots he went to the other side of the car to go after my GF. I got up, ran towards him and there was loose sand/gravel and I completely wiped out. I got up, but by that time he was heading back to his vehicle. You can be "ANY" level of fighter, but one slip, etc and you lose. Lesson... DE-escalate if you can. If you can't, then try and look at your surroundings and your ground as fast as possible.

This is a great lesson 👍🏻

The first self defense technique is to avoid situations where you might get in to a fight.

If someone challenges you or calls you out - you are lucky - because at least u have time to get ready. If youré just attacked - if they don't win - then THEY screwed up - because they have a BIG advantage.

Excellent content, thank you for sharing.

@@NickDrossos you’re welcome you’re one of my favorites. I haven’t seen you for a while on KZread, but you make very good points because I experience stuff like that before and I’m not even doing security. They really truly don’t look at that. They think it one little thing like a technique or so or so far really wins a fight, but really it’s not it’s you, because you either go to fly ,fight ,or freeze is this the depending on your psychological thinking and your mood because the moment something happens, it can trigger you proceed in your psychological thinking and it doesn’t matter how skill are you could either be afraid but depending on that moment, you can react to the situation or you could be very confident and know what you’re doing, but then you could freeze and not respond to this situation that really happened and thank you for touching it into the video because That hits right there because not too many self-defense videos really explained that

Great lesson! Thanks!

Hi Nick I teach very similar self defence to you and I still do say Awareness is number one priority. But I do have another? Because we all can be court off guard. I now, when ask what is the one thing you can show me on how to protect yourself. I say You only need to know two things, deception and distract and tell them how to use them

My friend had his hands up passive defence and the guy tried to headbutt him, but he ended up shoving his own eyes on my friend's open fingers. He missed his mark and probably had a nice visit to the emergency room.

Got locked up (happily) from the beginning scenario. Guy started ish at the bar, extremely packed, soon as we squared up his other friends stood up, I made some quick mental calculations and made the first move, violently. Oh well. I hope youre reading Mr. Mcarther, hows your head?

Yes, was always uncomfortable when taught to watch the eyes....tunnel vision for sure...watch everywhere

Bro, you got sucker punched probably bcs you broke two basic self defense rules. 1. Movement is King. 2. You are either fighting or you are leaving. Don't talk and get into escalations and all of that crap. Having said that, people like to talk about techniques all the time as if they are the most important thing in self defense but in fact all techniques are downstream of SITUATIONS. And self defense is like anything else in that the basic situations that we face mostly occur commonly. We see them in video clips again and again. For example, guys who get caught inside the door of a car. 99 out of 100 times this guy will get fvcked bcs in that situation you can't move or produce power. Never stand in your car door or anyplace where traffic is passing by. Or what I call "walk ups" where someone will make a bee-line for you - this is common in road rage situations. We have to recognize tha we are about to be attacked and move off his line. Don't just stand there wondering, "what is this guy up to?" Or "walk backs", where someone will break off the escalation as if he is leaving, but in fact he is just going to circle around behind and sucker punch you. Or any situation where you are being encircled. You either have to fight or leave. Anyway, there are plenty of common situations. Recognizing them and having some general rules for dealing with them is very important. The most important rule is "always be moving". Like your content. Cheers.

stmartin, I almost fall asleep reading you, too much writing. Tell us about your real fights, it seems like you have a lot of experiences...I am an old fart of 64 year old, so tell me what works for real in the street, so I can defends myself :)

Guys who constantly test every guy by staring each of them down are usually the same guys who never have any fun at the club/bar and are NEVER near any pretty girls. It has no benefits and I loved how Nick stated that it voluntarily locks you into tunnel vision keeping you unaware of your surroundings, such as multiple attackers. It’s so stupid and immature. Only dumb guys do this.

Awareness of what ? ? Ambiguous statement. Awareness of being able to read someone's intentions? People can disguise their motives. I've heard this awareness concept so much it has lost its meaning.

@@stmartinhk "Awareness" has become a common catchword. Might be best to explain exactly what awareness really means. Keeping your eyes open to anything that looks suspicious and upon individuals who look shady I guess... don't be caught unawares because hoodlums use surprise tactics.
