    • GSP has my respect but that knife advice is terrible and will get you killed. For a knife you force distance and remove your shirt and span it between your hands. Then let the attacker swing. Block the blade with the shirt pulled taut. Eventually it'll tangle in the shirt and they either release it or sacrifice control of an arm.

  • Finally a realistic self defense lesson. "The minute you touch me, you are declaring war" raw line

    @pwnstarryan5265@pwnstarryan526511 ай бұрын
    • Saying that "The minute you touch me, you are declaring war", taken literally, is terrible advice. It flies in the face of how the world works. Simply touching someone can mean a lot of things. Responding to a touch with a non-proportional response is generally unwise. Is it wise to escalate? As a general rule, no. The other person may have a range of intentions. Example #1: a drunk person bumps into you on accident. Intention to fight: unlikely. Example 2: dude pushes his finger into your sternum. Intention to intimidate or fight: high. Now, if your intuition says you are about to get attacked, you can choose step away. Do that. Don't try to diffuse a boiling situation with words -- by the time emotions have got that hot, they don't cool down easily. Rationality is probably a lost cause. Trying to diffuse the situation only with words is risky. Step back, use body language to show you aren't a threat. Be the wiser person. Your anger and ego might not like these non-violent options, but the violent outcomes tend to be worse, even if you "win".

But he doesn't discuss the consequences of fighting (winning or losing) nor alternatives to the Krav Maga style eye and groan strikes. A video of this length can't cover much, I get it.

Was completely outnumbered, had something to prove. Did well, they couldn’t fight all that well and I managed to stay up. That’s when one of them pulled a knife. By gods grace I have no idea how - maybe due to the sheer amount of adrenaline I managed to fight him off without getting harmed. After, I felt like such a strong man and was so proud of myself. Now I look back and I’m embarrassed, it could’ve gone so fucking wrong so easily and I would’ve left the love of my life bleeding out on the pavement whilst she cried.

    • The part of the video about going for the eyes so quickly was not persuasive nor useful. First, avoiding a fight is preferable. Second, the context and environment is key. Sure, there are times when you "fight for your life", but this is not *all the time*. Where in the video does GSP talk about the context? Nuance is not something that GSP communicates well here in this video.

The difference between ‘basically’ knowing it and actually using it in an emergency is the fact that we don’t ever apply it, especially on a day to day basis when training for our next UFC fight. The key for this info to be helpful to the average person watching this video is to ‘study/practice/memorize’ it. That’s when the information becomes MOST valuable.

  • So much of fighting is muscle memory and practice. Anytime you ever listen to someone teach self-defense, listen closely. You'll hear a lot of: if the opponent does this, then you do this. In a real life fight situation, you don't have time to think through that stuff. What GSP shows here is a mastery of joint locks, striking, and other offensive techniques that comes from years if not decades of practice. He's right about a lot of core principles: 1) don't fight fair. There's no ref, so strike the groin, the eyes, the neck, the soft spots where you can inflict maximum damage. In a fight for your life, you fight dirty. 2) Avoid fighting weapons, especially blades. You will get cut. It's a matter of who gets it worse, you or the bad guy. Avoid if at all possible. 3) If you can't avoid, put yourself in a position to win. Strike quickly and leave. Anyway, loved the video. I'm always a fan of GSP, and a fan of the insights you get when you interview. (10 month "late" comment for the algorithm)

  • To hit first is great advice when you're in a situation where you can't escape and see no other outcome than to fight and defend yourself, why let the other person get the upper hand by waiting for them to hit first.. I've actually had to follow this advice growing up and it has helped me in the situation more so than running and having the problem return all the time.. But one thing is for sure, teachers doesn't care mostly, so if you defended yourself you'll most likely end up as the one starting the whole thing even if you wanted no part of it. Here in Norway it's also not allowed to use more than necessary force to defend yourself against a threat. So if someone is trying to hit you with their fists then you can't use a weapon against them, or if someone runs at you with a knife you wouldn't be allowed to shoot them, you'd have to use equal force and you can't just hit first, even if you know you're going to get attacked at any moment. You could risk getting punished for using more force than necessary to defend yourself, I kind of understand that for some stuff.. But Jesus, they've made it challenging with how those laws works here, so much so that my girlfriend's little brother got put in prison for hitting someone back when defending himself, reason being is that some of his drunk friends decided they wanted to jump the guy afterwards even when my girlfriend's brother wasn't even involved in the whole thing anymore.

    • @@BaconRecoil You're much more likely to be murdered or assaulted if you draw a weapon on someone in defense. Once a firearm is drawn there's no longer the "flight" mechanism in the mind of the assailant, there's only a fight or die mechanism that takes over in the brain. If you do have a firearm, keep it hidden and don't draw it until they approach you directly with a weapon. You're best off to keep it hidden and just hint at it's existence by putting your hand in your jacket, etc. It's all psychological. Unless of course you want your children to get charged with manslaughter for shooting an unarmed man. Even if they WERE going to get in a fist fight, there's no proof of that without a weapon and the ends don't justify the means. This obsession with the firearm really has caused a lot of hubris, idiocy and tens of thousands of kids of prison for years on end who took another persons life out of what they culturally were taught was fine to do - to take another mans life because he was having a bad day and started screaming at you. Ask any public defense attorney and they'll tell you where giving an 18 year a weapon will get them. Sorry to disrupt your previously held belief that taking another mans life is legal and just dandy, because they're the "other". You'll also see your child sued into abject poverty by the person they shot, or the family of the victim. (They became the victim, of course, because you made it that way instead of just teaching your child to run away from unarmed assailants instead of reaching for a firearm.) They won't be as lucky as a police officer who can just claim he saw him reaching for a knife but it was just a cell phone.
