thanks for joining us for today's lesson
here at active self-protection i'm your
host john correa
an evidence-based defensive trainer
based out of phoenix arizona
today's video comes to us from buenos
aires argentina you need a shot timer
because that which gets measured gets
worked on
the range tech timer is the official
timer of active cell protection
because it is versatile reliable
feature-rich and very
economical check out all it can do at
the link below
so just a normal day here at this store
watch the guy peel around the counter
here put a mask
over his face and then go and attack the
cashier and demand her money now this
dude in the
red shirt has decided nah man i'm not
doing that and that is a big
dude who goes and gets after this guy
now if you go read the news story that
i've linked in the description you'll
need some
you know google translate for it you'll
see that the guy in the red shirt
actually broke a couple fingers on his
right hand doing this
he's got him in a headlock here that
dude comes over and just blasts him in
the face
he's going to punch him a couple more
times and now our guy in the red looks
like he's almost protecting that guy
from him
and is talking to all these people who
are standing around and i'm sure that
that's not comfortable in the guy's neck
and they are gonna then grab a hold of
him
by both of his feet uh that customer did
and now they've all got a hold of him
and the news story says they held him
down for police there
is actually a uh a camera a cell phone
camera
of the cops having this guy under arrest
and taking him out and all that stuff
but everybody hung in there
got this guy in custody prevented the
robbery and that's where this one ends
who doggie man they put the beat down on
that guy
i have a request for you we're trying to
break 300 000 subscribers on
our facebook page so if you want to get
better as a self-defender i share stuff
over there every day
links from all over the web to help you
be a better self-defender so if you're
on facebook hit that like button on
active self-protection over there for me
would you i would appreciate it and
there's a link in the description so
first things first as this guy comes in
here you notice that he does the stupid
thing here of covering his face
after he's already back behind but the
thing for us to notice here
is that these kinds of attacks come out
of nowhere the bad guy always sets the
time
and the place and the circumstances of
the attack and he is only going to tell
us about it
at the last minute and so we need to be
in a state that we
are ready to turn that dial from 0 to 10
and be ready to defend ourselves at a
moment's notice because again the bad
guy's not going to give us
any notice of the attack they're not
going to phone it in so we have to be
the ones that when it starts
we are ready to defend ourselves and
turn that attitude switch next thing
here
our guy in the red shirt man that guy's
yoked and and he looks
you know very strong but you're going to
ask the question are you willing and
ready to step it
to this kind of a conflict you don't
have to everybody
should consider for themselves what kind
of conflicts and what third-party events
that they are willing to step into for
some people they say nope i'll only
defend me and mine
for others they say no i'm strong and
i'm capable to
to defend the weak from predators okay
fine that's good decided in advance so
if you're ready to go you would go like
this guy did
now notice here that it just jumps on
the guy i do think that it is a bit
dangerous to do that if you haven't
verified that he doesn't have anything
in his hands
that said he does a pretty good job here
of grabbing him around the neck
because where the head goes the body
goes when you're in a standing grappling
position or on the ground for that
matter
where someone's head goes their face
goes their body goes and that's an
absolute rule that that if you can get a
hold of his head and move his head in a
direction the rest of him is going to
follow that direction
so that's exactly what he does here gets
the head moving down the body moves to
go over it
and now notice here that he kicks that
guy and i do think that it's important
for us to be able to work from a top
position like this
because this guy's going to recover and
get back up and you don't know in
advance what kind of tools the guy has
in his pockets
you don't know if he's got a gun on his
waist a knife in his pocket
something available to him that when you
start attacking him in a second or two
he's going to get that out so you want
to be able to fight from a top position
and dominate that and watch the hands
because in these kinds of grappling
fights in a weaponized environment
the hands are very important and most
people that are doing grappling arts
it's hips and waist and stuff that's not
but notice as well that he gets up that
the bad guy gets up and now we're into a
striking contest here so these kinds of
fights often go from standing grappling
to grounded grappling to striking and
back
pretty quick which is why a well-rounded
empty-handed skill set
is important for self-defenders
especially those who carry tools in my
opinion now then he does get him
up here guy tries to get up and our good
guy has got a hold of him
in a choke so he's got him in a standing
rear naked is what we would call this
and i want to recognize it again in a
weaponized environment this can be
dangerous and the reason that it's
dangerous is
you've got to maintain thought and
control over this guy's hands for about
six or eight seconds if you know how to
put him out well
so if you know how to actually sink in a
choke here and make this guy lose
consciousness
you only got to think about his hands
for the four or five seconds it takes
him to go
out but otherwise you got to recognize
he can get something and start hurting
you with it so you better pay
attention to that and know how to deal
with that now the educational beat down
here from the guy in the blue shorts i
get it this guy's a turd and he deserves
everything he gets
but one big last lesson here is that as
everybody's coming around and seeing
what's going on here
work together as a team somebody take
charge and say okay you grab ahold of
this you get that we're gonna get this
guy on the ground we're going to get him
on his belly we're going to get his
hands behind his back and hold on to him
whatever you do this you do that so
whoever it is that takes charge and i
would suggest that you
as the viewer here is the person who's
interested in self defense be that
person who takes charge
and start telling people how to help you
and help each other so then that way
nobody gets hurt and you get this guy in
custody great job by the guy in the red
shirt i think he's a hero he covered his
asp
