I gotta be honest with you I just love
it when I see bad guys get their butts
whooped thanks for joining us with
today's active self-protection lesson
I'm your host John Correa today's video
comes to us from New Orleans Louisiana
in the United States today's video is
brought to you by magtec ammunition the
exclusive supplier of range ammunition
for all active self-protection training
so go read the news story length in the
description you'll see at the bottom of
the screen there this martial arts
instructor is showing this guy her
Instagram page with the discussion of
all of her classes and he snags her
phone stupid idea because she's a
martial arts instructor so she grabs him
up in a headlock gets her phone back
from the guy he gets out of the headlock
and one of her students comes to help as
well now you see the guy fishing in his
pocket he says he has a gun according to
the news story and she said that she
knew it was a bluff she said he didn't
she didn't think that he did have a gun
and she told him he'd be a fool to pull
it because of all the security camera
neighbors and all that so dude goes to
get his bike they're gonna go in and
chase him a little bit here and be like
hey man you know get the heck out of
here or whatever then another student
comes out and now a neighbor with a
baseball bat is gonna show up and drive
that guy off far as I understand police
are still looking for this guy we
actually have a second angle here from
another you know from another
surveillance camera she gets ahold of
this dude and now she's got him with the
right arm switches over to the left and
gets the phone out and drops it then
he's able to break contact there and now
it's two-on-one and I think it's pretty
interesting that he's learned pretty
quick here that now I don't want to
engage here I don't want to get in a
fight because that chick has showed that
she's got what it takes so he is again
going to go around here while the
outrage builds and grab his bike and now
the neighbors are gonna come out and the
other students as well and he is going
to run off and nobody else was harmed
she got her phone back and that is where
this one ends she really wailed a tune
on that guy got a question for you out
of this one what martial art do you
study have you studied or are you
currently studying let us know in the
comments I have a second-degree black
belt in a derivative of a Kempo known as
ooh mas currently studying jiu-jitsu and
enjoying that journey so how about you
think about lessons from today's video I
love that this one starts with a martial
arts instructor doing what they do right
here's my classes and all these things
and this guy has asked
that and of course when we start talking
about pre attack indicators everyone
we're looking at behavior cues and once
again I'm gonna be real explicit on the
channel that if you think this is a
racist issue or a race issue
you are entirely wrong take that crap
elsewhere and get it off my channel we
look at behavior cues to see what people
are doing and he's asking questions
about her classes and all those things
and not showing any classic pre attack
indicators behaviorally so I think she's
reasonable doing what she's doing though
of course you know showing somebody your
phone it's a pocket supercomputer it's
worth some so now he grabs that and she
grabs back after him let's talk just a
minute about using force to protect
property is it reasonable to use
reasonable force to protect property
100% yes you have a right to protect
your property of course we only use
deadly physical force when our life is
at stake we use deadly physical force to
protect life and we can use ordinary
physical force to protect property so is
it okay for her to grab this guy hundred
percent just recognize that if he is
really good or if he does have tools on
him you could be at risk okay so it's
it's maybe safer to your person but
she's got a high skill set so if you've
got a high skill set get after it I do
like the fact that she gets a hold of
this guy and drops the phone this is
something that I think a lot of people
wouldn't do but notice she gets the
phone away from him and then just
Chuck's it to get her hand back in the
fight I actually think that was a really
good strategy now of course that takes
you being willing to just let your phone
drop which if you have a decent case on
your phone should be okay because you
want to have both hands in the fight but
we kind of have this emotional thing not
to drop our phone and of course it's an
expensive piece of equipment so I get
that but in a defensive encounter you
got to let that go and just let the
phone drop and she did a really good job
of that here now that we got a friend
who's in the fight and now we got a
two-on-one but notice dude is fishing in
his pocket and he did say I have a gun
now you got to just recognize in that
moment dude does he really or whatever
and and kind of act based on that having
said oh okay I got a gun fine grab your
phone up but get the heck out of there
like you know just run away from the guy
let him grab his bike and get out of
there is probably the safest bet at this
point but I understand that she's mad
and she's like dude I you know I'm not
about that you're not gonna get my stuff
I want you to get the heck out of here
and of course she's mad cuz she tried to
help the guy and he ended
trying to steal from her so that outrage
builds or whatever I do like that her
student went and grabbed up that stuff
but I will say this that that notice
here that what we probably again ought
to do is we have our property back dudes
not gonna not hurt us or whatever
probably our best thing is to get the
heck out of there at this point and also
even as a martial arts instructor if I'm
not on the floor
I always carry some kind of tool and OC
spray or something like that that if
dude were to threaten me you just bless
him with the jerk sauce and go from
there although you know again I get it
she's in her workout clothes she's
probably just come off the mat or
something like that now notice here as
he's running off that my thing here is
just to let him go now notice when
everybody shows up you know this first
guy shows up with you know with the blue
shirt and he's really posturing at that
guy and getting after him again it's
time to control the ego I get it that
you're angry but at this point you are
not protecting your property anymore
now you're punishing him for having
offended you now we're not going to even
talk about the legal aspects of that but
every confrontation you get in has a
risk of you getting harmed so just
recommend hey man get the heck out of
here whatever you know and and just let
him get the heck out of there rather
than chase him down because bad things
can happen in those particular instances
thankfully nobody was harmed here and
this martial arts instructor is totally
ba I think that's amazing now a couple
more things as we think about here
notice that she's got pretty good
control of him here that she doesn't go
all the way around to the back she does
have a leg hooked in here but she has
his T crossed pretty well we talked
about that all the time if we're gonna
do a takedown or something like that
that we really want to play that game of
crossing the T of having our hips Square
to having their hips teed off on us and
she doesn't pretty darn good job of that
and that gives her a good control here
however that is gonna end eventually
notice he is able to get away from it so
well a lot of time here this oh if you
hold like this they can't get away or
whatever man recognize if you roll a
little bit if you actually do life
sparring to the other person gets a vote
as well so your defensive encounter
probably not gonna go exactly as you
think it might and that's why I think
live sparring is so good because it
teaches you to think with your skill set
and use it and it looks like that she
did a pretty good job of that here now
we see what we saw before I really don't
recommend the chasing here but when he
gets away there's really
one more thing I want to talk about out
of this one is this guy's gonna get out
and you know as it becomes a family
affairs the whole family gets involved
another student's going to come out and
get after the guy but the big one I want
to talk about is the neighbor apparently
this is a neighbor from next door who
shows up with the baseball bat and okay
you you recognize number one you say hey
wait a minute I don't want to fight this
guy with my hands if I don't have to
which I get on the other hand you've got
to recognize a baseball bat is seen as
deadly force and so does this guy
actually have anything you have
objective reasonable evidence that a
deadly threat exists where a baseball
bat would be a useful item I don't see
it here I think ordinary physical force
is definitely okay but not deadly
physical force now the guy didn't
actually use the bat he just brought it
out with him so I think he's probably
okay in that but make sure that you
understand use of force understand what
your force options are and prefer a less
lethal tool like an OC spray here if you
had a tool or something like that rather
than a baseball bat because of the
potential legal repercussions but and in
overall sense I think this martial arts
instructor did great she protected her
phone she has she offered goodness to
the people in her community protected
her property didn't go too far maybe a
couple things here about letting the guy
go but overall I think she covered her
ass
