today we get to see that grappling arts
are not just for the ground
[Music]
hi everybody welcome to today's lesson
here at active self protection i'm your
host john korea
i'm not positive where this one comes
from so if you have a news story please
put it in the comments so i can add it
to the description
palm pepper spray has recently
reformulated for even more effect when
you bless the deserving with the hot
sauce
palm is what i use between a harsh word
and a gun and encourage
everyone to do likewise couples walk and
minding their own business when this
dude rides up on the moto
and starts to nudge him real hard and
demand their stuff
is what it looks like to me uh probably
threaten them with a weapon there as
well and when he does that
guy jumps on his back and now has a hold
of him in
a choke now that's going to lead the guy
to kind of try to get a hand off
down they go and down goes frazier and
you can see here that he has him now
kind of almost in a side control
choke and now that dude's going to
finally try to kind of get out with his
feet not be able to
and uh in the real world there's no tap
it's only nap and so he is gonna go
night night and i don't have any more
information on this one so if you do
please
leave me a new story in the comments all
right today's video is a
shout out on your martial arts you tell
us what art you study and what belt you
are
if you know me you know that i have an
earned second degree black belt and a
striking art which is a derivative of
kempo
and i am studying jiu jitsu though i'm
still just a wipeout how about
you so of course in transitional spaces
we have to pay attention that's probably
our biggest lesson here
is to be prepared and to pay attention
to our world particularly
when you're in a space where you can be
attacked with an element of surprise you
have your valuables on you and they can
get away quickly that's that definition
of a transitional space so that being
said
obviously you've got to get the skills
beforehand whether or not they're
empty-handed skills firearm skills
less lethal tool skills whatever you've
got to have those in advance if you're
thinking about them on that day it's too
late
to get them you've got to have them that
means training now now next thing you
see the guy come up and
bump him with the bike and now they are
in some kind of an argument now i don't
know exactly
all the details of this what ended up
happening to get it going
but recognize here that of course if
he's threatened them with a firearm or
something like that or said hey i've got
a gun
then just running off is not going to do
it but might have been the best choice
here in the beginning
if they both can run off but of course
the running off part is very
difficult if you have to have somebody
that you're protecting like say for
instance this man here
protecting this lady who he like hey i
can't run because she's not going to be
able to run off or whatever so you got
to make those decisions ahead of time
and know what your strengths and
weaknesses and abilities are
now he is going to go in right here to
go get the guy now of course
if your you know defender or you know
knows that our attacker has a knife you
want to stay away from a knife
but if he has a gun you got to go in
because you backing up doesn't get you
out of his range at all you backing up
does get you out of range of a knife
very very quickly so best thing to do in
that case get away and get behind where
the bike would have a hard time coming
to get you but against a firearm
that's not going to help you very much
so your best thing to do is go in here
and control and that's exactly what he
did
now then some grappling skills i think
this is very creative he gets him
in a rear naked here now kind of
interesting to me that he actually uses
his left arm which makes sense because
he comes from that side
but i will say that for most people
they're right hand dominant
and so they're going to use their right
hand far more often and i know a lot of
people are going to say well you know if
the guy did have a knife he's going to
get stabbed or whatever but the reality
is more like what we see here
that once you start getting choked you
start focusing on that choke an
awful lot and it's very rare to see
somebody actually get
you know a tool in the fight once they
have that that neck
completely wrapped like this guy does
here now he's trying to pull him off the
bike guys trying to hold on and you're
going to notice here
that our you know aggressor on the
motorcycles finally trying to get his
hand
down inside there but this is where
technique matters right so
you want to be cautious because again if
he has been able to access a weapon
that could be very problematic in this
particular case
and that's why we got to adjust our
ground skills our jiu jitsu or whatever
or catch wrestling any of that stuff
to a weaponized environment and every
once in a while throw a little dirt in
your sport game and this is one of the
big reasons
you want to be able to control the hands
even from the back like this and use
your legs to do that now in this case
i don't think it was a weapon and what
we can see here is he's trying to get
that out but
our guy who's using the rear naked choke
is doing a good job of keeping that
tight
he's not got his hand on top of his head
because a guy can pull that down and
release the pressure
but instead he's got it tucked back
behind and he's using that scissor
pressure and usually what they're going
to do there is
hopefully you know really get his his
chest puffed out there in order to
create the pressure and tuck his head
down nice and tight
you do want to use your leg to try if
you can to
you know secure that guy's arm but it's
going to go out pretty quick now what
you're going to watch here
is again whatever he has in his pockets
he is trying to deal with that choke
because he is going night night and
the tunnel vision is coming now i know
in of course the competition environment
we joke about tap nap or snap and of
course tap is going to be the answer
every single time but in a real world
environment
we have to know when we are done and
when this guy has gone out
because one of the advantages here of
knowing a rear naked choke or something
like that
is is when you are in a an environment
where you can't carry a firearm
you can end the threat and then let it
go and now you have some significant
time and you actually don't do any
injury to people for the most part
recognize though that laws may vary and
so you need to know in your municipality
in your jurisdiction
what the laws are on using chokes
because in some cases it's considered
deadly force
so you have to understand that you can
only use it when deadly force
is authorized and that varies by
jurisdiction so make sure that you
understand the laws of the place where
you are
i think also as well we want to make
sure that we are using the best defense
available to us so
know how to be prepared in advance know
how to be aware and to pay attention in
your world
know when it's time to get in rather
than out and you better have the skills
to put that guy out as you seek to cover
your asp
