People don't understand that in a real fight you're not "playing roles." Using this defense to go in and ram would be very effective, obviously Seth can't actually do that to his training partners and even without ramming them and throwing elbows or grappling, they're still having a hard time dealing with it. That should tell you something.

Not only do people pretty much always aim for the head, but hands do f*** all at protecting the head. Boxers have gloves on. You try to stop my fist from doing damage to your head if your little hands are there. Dedicating your frames to your head is much more intelligent, especially since you can keep distance for body shots in many ways that don't require blocking, or you're just going to close distance anyways and protect your head while doing so.

I have watched 9 videos on how to do a 540 kick and this is by far the best one! Great collab Seth love your videos!

IMHO self defence is more a mental than technical challenge. One needs to be able to react quick and smart in a shocking situation.

If you're in an open area and your opponent knows how to keep distance, I'd say this is useless. But, it looks like it'd be useful in an enclosed space; in a crowded club, a kitchen, the bus. It's definitely harder to get to the body in those situations. Great video Seth.

This style reminds me of that 'la posture di la falcone' from master Qui-Gon Jinn in the movie "Kingdom of heaven".

my man played Virtua Fighter 3 and decided to make a gym about it

Aint nobody aiming for the body in the street. Street fights last seconds, not minutes, and not rounds. From a sport style perspective, there is no need to put "money in the bank" with body shots, even if your aim is to go for the liver. From a pure just street fight perspective where no one is trained, which is most street fights, they don't even know to hit anywhere but the head, let alone know how to.

7:03 - So, a 170lbs ape was hurt in the making of this video. Shame on you, Seth! Shame!

Sambo was not created to keep let foreign influences out, it was created after a study of a lot of folk wrestling, judo and jiujitsu (there was originally no striking in it, it was a purely grappling art) and keeping what's effective. Stalin still didn't like it, the inventor of Sambo was arrested, tortured and shot.

Imagine you're fighting for your life on the street. Imagine there are no courts, prosecutions and trials afterwards. Would you be fighting against a boxer who can give punche, or a guy who learned hundred ways to attack your throat, eyes or break your neck? Aikido is a dynamic jiu jitsu with a 1000yr old tradition. Nice techniques that control the oponent are only for safety issues. Evade, go for throath is where the real fight ends. People are idiots.

I always thought this “style “ was absurd, your going to bend down and lean your face forward and move your elbows around ? Your gonna get front kicked right in the teeth

Weird, I've been in/watched a lot of school fights and street fights, and I'd say body shots have been about a third of all shots. Only last year I got sucker punched in the ribs (not that any guard would have helped me before I realized something was going on). I'm surprised that my experience is so different than the normal

Not real

So real world statistics disagree against internets opinions? (With a hint of salt that is the internet aka RUclips) For people working with patients/clients that have a higher tendency of getting violent the horns/thai helmet/elbow spaghetti is what they a trained. Why? It gets the best bang for buck.

Strange, in the UK, Judo has Blue and Purple belts in between Green and Brown.. Blue being 3rd Kyu, Purple being 2nd Kyu

reminds me of some french sa vate.a

great video love the content

You should go to the uk an see if master wong would do his traditional training for you for a week

First match winning by Waza-ari awasete ippon, good job!

So if a Keysi practioner runs into a kyokushin practioner, does a keyboard warrior's head just explode?

This was excellent. Really enjoyed the use of wrestling in martial arts. 😂

Unless you are dumb, when your stupid opponent is lying on the ground, you will go ahead and grab something to hit that idiot on his head. That's why in Judo, Judokas NEVER try to play the ground game. 1. There will be more than 1 enemy trying to hit you. 2. When you are on the ground, people will grab a chair or something to hit you. BJJ is stupid.

Coming from several self defense schools it's easy to understand - it's easier to take a punch to the body than a punch to the face (duh). So avoid head damage at all cost - you are not in the ring, a knock out can mean death u know! And most street punches go to the head anyway... I really don't understand why it is so hard for people to make the difference between sports and self defense, you don't do 5x3min rounds on the street, you don't know your opponent (strength, endurance), you want to finish it as fast as possible with minimal effort and maximum security since failure means death. Don't eat punches and finish the fight with your cerebellum, that's it.

Why would anyone attack you without a weapon?

It's been my experience that in the street outside of any kind of regulatory event, most attackers strike at the head for 1 of 2 reasons, Shock Value, or they expect a one hit knock out. If they do go for the body, it is to shove or grapple, like you mentioned, which means they want you on the ground. just grab them at that point and they come down with you. But if someone actually wants to do you harm, they will bring a weapon, in the USA, that means a pistol, possibly even loaded with the wrong ammo. Don't attempt to guess though, even wrong ammo can go boom, but not a pretty sight. It is known as a breech explosion for a reason. Yeah, I watched some police videos of confiscated guns from the streets. It was a laugh fest, those folks out there have zero training, so much mix and match ammo, wrong caliber, loaded facing the wrong direction. One pull of the trigger the gun could have exploded in their hand.

Loving the tenacious d reference 😅

10:34 Seth knows if he didn't make the joke someone in the comments would😂

tai chi is best self defense martial arts as long as yo carry a firearm

This is nice and all, but what about when you have to protect something lower than your upper body which appears to be completely open almost entirely in this video? It's like you're just hoping that they'll always attack you where you want to be attacked.

pavlov vr and more realistic games. theres also contractors and a couple more if you ever wanted to try this again.

Maybe have a look at Crazy Monkey Defence, it is similar to Keysi but more from a boxing perspective.

8:52 - Forget 4 or 5 of them. One is enough. Its legs alone are ~6ft tall. It can send a grown lionness flying with a back kick. I haven't seen one irl, but I bet it'd be terrifying. And since y' all mentioned ostriches, technically they _are_ dinosaurs and they can probably kick you to death or peck your skull open. The upgraded version, the cassowary, would probably go all velociraptor on your guts...

I feel the system might have felt less taxing and open to body shots if you rolled your shoulders forward and hunched your back a bit more like Alan seems to? Like if you made your objective to fall forward into your opponent and hit them on the way "through" vs rearing up and finessing your striking like you are more used to doing?

I liked it in Jack Reacher. If you wouldn't mind. What's the font on your cap?

Well i hope i never get mugged by a gang of parkcore enthusiasts

I’d rather fight a pit bull than a pig

Thank you for highlighting the art I’ve practiced for 40+ years. You did us caring justice. Thank you!

What is the probability of running into a Muay Thai fighter in the streets? It is probably lower than 16%.

Was a muaythai sparring session, but anyone throw a teep? 🤔

I have a blue belt in bjj and It took me 3 years to get it

Hey, Seth. I really like what you said about "you never really can [totally-realistically simulate self-defence]". I'm a passive and active self-defence practitioner ("passive" as in pre-physical-combat awareness, tactics, psychology, etc; "active" as in physical combat), and even when I'm teaching people the physical stuff in slow motion drills, I'm always worried people don't know how to fall and will dislocate their shoulder, break their arm/wrist/fingers, or will go too hard with each other and add too much force to techniques and hurt themselves or the other person; this is why I'm very careful to outline the body mechanics of everything and potential risks if done poorly, before setting them off to practice what I showed them. I do create psychological simulations, where I display extreme vocal and facial expression aggression and "craziness", but I'm always controlling the body and making sure not to hit anything vital. This way, it gets pretty close, but in the end It's always difficult to simulate a completely realistic self defence situation safely, because unlike martial arts, self-defence isn't about skill, sportsmanship, and glory, but about threat-of-life and survival at all costs, where "rules", "ethics", and "the law" go out the window. Though there are ways that psychology and empathy can be used to both de-escalate and create understanding, even after physical attacks have begun, to bring things back down; this takes a lot more psychological training, but is the method I prefer, which I believe works for 90% of street fights, since most of them start from a place of insecurity or fear of danger, not malice.

What about ITF Taekwon-do?

I rlly like how Seth learned this and realized it filled a blank, like he could have used that in the hall to better his performance in the fight. That learning from his mistakes and learning all these different things and seeing how and where/when he could use em is v cool. probably one of my favorite things ab watching this content.

It's a bad system that i wasted a long time on, they don't test anything. They dont have any grappling worth reporting on either

Keysi has a guard for the midsection the block is called the shield

Didn't see the first video but I would have thought the same. Interesting to see the data as well as see it in practice!

The Capoeira guy through his hips in that front kick. More power but it affects balance. If you miss you're gonna get blasted. Chuck Norris did a thing about front thrust kicks.

fighting to philosaphy

That was awesome !
