How to End a Fight in 3 Seconds

As Gunter points out, why would anyone want to attempt to have intimate sex with an attacker risking the Murphy principle, i.e., slippery street, he had a knife in his other hand down and out of sight, or a six four 300 pound pro ball player that will flip you off of him like an irritating fly and body slam you so hard on the concrete that you’ll be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life if you didn’t die from the subdural hematoma in your head. in the real world where he wouldn’t be standing still in a static demonstration and holding your shoulder like an old butt buddy?

There are several other better ways to get his grubby hands off you without kissing and hugging him, The first is Don’t let him get is hands on you in the first place? That falls under situational awareness. ALWAYS avoid and deflect any approach to your inner (ARMS REACH) Zones. It’s what the pro security people do with their clients. You’ll never see anyone get passed the ‘reaching’ part on Trump or any other high risk target in public before one or both of those bad boys (or sometimes girls) behind and to the side of their client puts him DOWN and OUT with one hit.

The problem with about 98 percent of these types of demonstrations is while they look good, in staged context, they rarely work in real time. Mainly because of all the variables and the attackers in a REAL attack would likely NOT be grabbing your shoulder or your shirt//jacket collar and standing there shaking or holding you, I just shake my head in disappointment whenI see some ‘into himself Sensei’ teaching something like that. Because they never mention that Most likely the attack is going to be a hard first strike to your surprised face that couldn’t move fast enough to ‘react’ avoid the initial ‘Action’ against you. And even if they did just put a shoulder ‘push’ on you, they wouldn’t just hold it there then they would more than likely be quickly following up with a rapid Beat Down, until they slammed you down and overwhelmed you, again probably with the help of a cohort besides!

But if something like the Demo sequence above happened in slow enough motion (or you were as fast as this instructor, which almost anyone is NOT without regular practice) As Gunter said, It would be easier, and smarter to simply do a forcible extrication from contact, (a couple quick violent strikes to remove his arm and vulnerable face targets or simple one eighty twist and spin around as step away and pull your knife if you couldn’t have a gun, and keep moving away so that if he insisted on coming after you then it would be obvious to the police or jury that you were in fear for your life so you tried to escape but had no other choice than put the tip of your blade deeply through his eye socket and maybe a nick and scratch to this throat to save your life.

By the way, the actual ‘rear naked choke’ this instructor illustrated is not the ‘best’ one for a serious job. There are a couple better leverage grasps/grips if you want maximum advantage to prevent an escape from him flipping or throwing you in less than a second before the ‘effect’ takes place. And remember some big apes with thick necks and muscles like steel cable might not react to a carotid choke that easily, and your ‘knock out’ time is extended.

And Like my Nam Vet Bro below implied, the choke is not meant to be so much a ‘submission’ hold in deadly hand to hand combat it’s designed first and foremost to kill in deployment. So you use your body more to get him off his feet almost immediately to neutralize that part of a struggle.

So, this is another one that you don’t want to try at home or even practice it on your kid brother or girlfriends without knowing what you’re doing.

The 1st reality is that about 95% of all martial arts taught today in conventional ‘wisdom’ (lol) is probably NOT going to work in real time dangerous situation.

The Second truth is that unlike a gun, you really NEED to be in a fair amount of physical condition, AND then you have to practice your moves in as real of a situation scenario as you can, or they simply won’t work. That’s why serious training clubs have some Redman equipment and do some full contact free sparring.

At a minimum I don’t certificate my advanced students unless they can punch a speed bag, including elbows as good as a boxer, full power kick and punch a heavy bag full blast with specific combinations for 30 seconds which I then want to see a 98% hit accuracy .repeat level placed on ‘Bob’.

In my humble but vastly experienced opinion, anything less than that ability will more likely get you hurt, that helped, in a fight. If you are thinking of taking up fight training, which is a good way to also keep physically fit, these days, I suggest you first read an article at Survivopedia.com by Mahatma Mujesbude about ‘Five Myths of Martial Arts’ before you decide how to approach it. It’ll save you a lot of time and money, and maybe even your life?
