a lot of self-defense practitioners like
to talk a lot about cover versus
concealment but quite frankly in
defensive encounters they work pretty
close to the same

thank you for joining us for today's
lesson on active self protection i'm
your host
john korea today's video comes to us
from cambodia the new mantis x10
firearms performance system has all the
goodness of the original
plus holster draw analysis and recoil
analysis
it's a fantastic upgrade and i recommend
it highly this whole thing
started as an argument between this guy
and his neighbor who happens to be a cop
apparently
the guy's dog bit the cop it was a puppy
or something like that which made the
cop
angry and so he went and got his rifle
let's listen
in so you can hear when the shots break
[Applause]
yes
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
what

if you go read the news story that i've
linked in the description you'll see
that the guy on the moped was actually
shot
in the back though it looks like he will
make a full recovery
they did take the police officer into
custody
and i don't know what the legal system
looks like there but apparently he's
facing charges
if you want to get better with your
defensive skills one of the best ways
you can do that is joining me
on our second channel active self
protection extra
we teach there seven days a week as well
so hit the subscribe button on that
channel too
to get behind the scenes and training
every single day of the week
let's think about lessons as we begin
this one let's think about being good
neighbors friends and i really think
that we should be committed to being
good neighbors and being good to one
another
and so listen if you've got a dog and
that dog is
problematic to other people make sure
that you are able to make that right
with them and keep your dog away and
those kinds of things and if we're a
good neighbor to people
and we're willing to apologize when
things go wrong and take actions to make
it right a lot of times
we can avoid these kinds of problems and
i think that's one of the solutions to
what's going on in our world today is to
just be good to one another
so okay the problem exists and dude's
coming up now and has
a rifle on him and so now we can see
holy cow
what are we doing now of course this is
a terribly wrong answer here he's going
to go get his rifle
and just uh you know get after this guy
with a rifle because
he's upset about his dog obviously
that's really
wrong he's precipitating a problem now
think about the guy in the moped here
what are you going to do in this
instance
dude's got a rifle wants to argue with
you the answer here is to get off of
that bike hands in the air hey man i
don't want any problems and i don't want
us to have this issue
so let's you and i get along but right
now recognize he has raised that rifle
up and he
is threatening with it absolutely so if
you can yes you want to get the heck out
of the danger zone
here but you're going to have a bit of a
hard time on that moped getting out of
the danger zone
you know against a guy who is wielding a
rifle if you don't have some place to
duck into
quickly so again this is where verbal
de-escalation
escape and evasion really comes into
play i would strongly suggest get off
that bike hands in the air hey man i'm
so sorry i don't want any problems
let's you and me get along that verbal
skill's incredibly important what we're
going to see is he's going to put the
moped
in in gear and try to get away now
here's an interesting thing that first
shot goes off but i'm pretty sure if you
go read the news story linked in the
description it doesn't look like that
shot hit him
at all it looks like it's the second
shot that hits him this one he's
straight up misses and i know people are
like gosh
how in the world can you miss at that
range well people miss it crazy ranges
all the time up close like this so get
the heck out of there very very quickly
and he doesn't and it's that second shot
that actually gets him so the shot there
that just broke before he put the rifle
down is almost certainly the one that
actually
shot him now that being the case i can't
tell you enough
emotional fitness so important our
victim here is going to live through
this and so until you lose consciousness
if you still can defend yourself
take action to defend yourself man point
that bike down
the alleyway there get the heck out of
there get yourself to the hospital as
fast as you possibly can
don't just wreck the bike because oh no
he shot me so now i'm gonna lay over and
die that is a bad juju
now think about this second guy i want
you to notice this idea that he has put
like a
stool or something this looks like a
little bench that he has simply held up
between him and this other guy now i
don't know if the guy would actually
have shot at him in this instance
but i think this is actually an
excellent strategy he just puts that
thing up now you and i both know the
chances of that stopping a rifle round
is pretty much
nil however what we see on the channel
again and again is what bad guys can't
see they won't shoot at
and and even concealment works as well
as cover 99 of the time
worked well for him here to get far
enough away to then feel like he can
really book and get away from the guy
so that worked and worked very well so
so it's crazy to me but the reality of
human psychology is
the vast majority of the time what he
can't see he won't shoot at so
now then let's think about as our victim
making sure that we get some first aid
skills make sure that we have our kit on
it so that we can get to the hospital
with some blood volume
the other part here is you notice this
person kind of coming down this little
one looks like a child
kind of walking in teach your kids not
to walk into danger man you hear
gunshots the answer is to get the heck
out of there
so some lessons here about verbal
de-escalation lessons here i think about
being a good person as well
about the importance of even concealment
against an active killer
in covering our asp
