Grabbing Leg ist Always a good Option. Then raise the grabbed Leg Up. The Person will Fall. Then fight, flight or freeze (your Option)
Thanks for the lesson. I'm going to use a bit the technique in a novel I'm writing. I will mention you in the acknowledgements.
WONDERFULLY HELPFUL
Who are watching for a school fight
Thanks Nick..
Text strike by Shaolin priest kick strike ,!!!!?!
my sister keeps kicking me, so thanks for this!
Your one of the best instructors I've seen by far. The guy I was with was a 3rd black belt At least you would protect the people you love. Take care and be safe Lisa from Massachusetts.
I need that because i need to defend myself against kicks,
やました
I learn this video thank you.
It's unlikely but possible that you'll be attacked on the street in this way. If that be the case, I wouldn't recommend any of the techniques discussed in this video. Instead, I would recommend intercepting the kick by closing the distance as quickly as possible and following up with a close quarter method.
only a personal opinion but blocking anything, expecially a kick isn't a good thing. I don't agree with any sd vs anything when a block or grab is envolved. A real kick coming in is going to be A) to fast B) to hard or both. Not going to happen.
1:41 … wouldn't trying to do that allow the kick to smash your ribs……..
Another one is when the guy kicks you, you move the leg to the side, you move to the side then you side kick them to the stomach.
I see the sense of the step back, personally i prefer to condition my legs and arms on the off chance i cannot move, so i can block with the leg, i have hurt a number of people doing it, because whilst they can kick, they have not conditioned there bones to take a hard impact, but of course i would say speed of footwork and reaction speed is preferable to allow moving out of range but if the quarters are close or there is something too near me to make a dodge useful having great bone strength to intercept is good.
I would also totally agree high kicks are a total waste of time.
For my own self i see it as a second of time, a fast striker going to heel on their attackers shin, or even kick to the groin, is going to get there faster than the guy trying to kick you in the head. and a kick to the head you always want to be moving out of the way from as this can even kill worst case scenario. But if you have the speed and flexibility
which training and sparring should giveas you duck and twist away, you can either stamp to their knee, or stamp down their shin, a serious leg injury like a badly bleeding shin, a twisted or even broken knee, will give enough pause in most cases to let you get out of there.I am brazilian Nick, he says that shin blocks are goods if you trained to handle the impact.
Nice work man, i am a Taekwondo black belt and realy love yours videos, they have been excelents for me to improve my self defense's technics and tatics!!
I am fan of the front kick. defense against it would be the same as davis with steve segal clothesline. or swinging kick same as well with hip throw. great video
question why isnt he recoiling his kicks? if he did these defenses are useless
That's a great idea if you want to catch a turning kick with your ribs…
Nice video. Where is your gym located? Wish I could go train and learn in person, live to far though.. Keep em coming, great stuff in all your vids!
Nick how do you defend against low line kicks
This video is just OK. It's lacking. What about side kicks? Spin hook kicks? Hammer kicks? Double kicks? Granted. You can move in on a lousy kicker, whose kicks can't even hurt a fly, and knock him off balance but facing someone who's been practicing kicks for years, that's another story.
Just loook and learn from ShepherdSurvives.
So what if you are a chubby guy , he does kickboxing for a couple of years , he wants to beat you , he comes to do it , you try do defend , grab the leg , counter and after that let's say you go away , but he has bigger guys to back him up , and after you DEFEND against him wanting to kick your ass , his friends want to beat you too ?
So nice. Amazing. You are the best.
Will what if the guy has large legs and you can't hold them because u need two hands to do that?
Hey man! I just want to ask if how can i fight vs many guys like 1 vs 3 or something . You know in our days nobody fight alone they have no respect for opponents , what you recomand on a street fight or maybe on a street attack ?
Pretty good advice. I like the way Bruce Lee would stop kicks with his feet.
teach us how to knock someone out…and what it takes
Can you explain how to defend against oblique kicks to the knee?
Not liking these vids. The content seems too 1-2-3…a-b-c… Stuff.
I know you're exploring into other techniques and styles. That's great.
Still, i prefer the practical realistic stuff better.
Btw, the code red defense video set is gold.
I saw a couple of this guys' videos and I really can't help but feel his movement and technique are somewhat amateur. No disrespect, but dishonest monetization of martial arts is rampant, irresponsible, and dangerous. Does Nick have high level competitive experience or even high ranking in any functional full contact martial art ??
This video was recorded in Brazil?
cool
Always good intentions in your vid's but you complicated this. Maybe it's an American thing, you're Canadian. Not that that's a bad thing , just different. In US about 35% of boys and young men have been wrestling since they were 6 years old.Called youth wrestling. Start with no sport including combat sports trains as hard as wrestlers. Just ask an American football player that also wrestles. Back to defending a kick. If you are dumb enough to ever take one of your feet off the ground against a possible wrestler ,even if it's a leg kick. Unless you're a south paw and catch the guys liver clean. Which is extremely rare but deserves a mention. After you throw the kick you're going to be in a bad place. Even if you end up in your Guard when you're on the ground. You should have added that the way to defend a kick is exactly how they would in the US. They would either double or single take down you. Fighting is all about two things. First and foremost, Do everything you can not to get into a fight and second is distances. Nick has solid info in every single one of hiis videos but very little like the knife attack videos happens any place else than Canada. Canada has no wrestling or better said good wrestling. Which means there youth have no clue how hard American youth train. They have hockey which is a fantastic sport but hockey players are like basketball players. They practice by playing there sport. They don't train like a football(not soccer) wrestler trains. Even US baseball players never mind Lacrosse train all year round. Different county. Nick needs to explain never throw a kick at an American because you're going to be in trouble. There going to hurt you, not block it or possibly catch it and trip you.They will take the kick and run at you while you only have one leg on the ground. Which means you're in huge trouble.
I have a question. What do you think about the pression points ? And can you show us how to use it if you know some techniques ? I thought it could be quite interesting.
didnt mention about how if your getting kicked in the side of the leg, you should push your leg into the kick, instead of letting your leg cave in. shouldnt be showing moves that require precise shit, some one will try that shit when they have no idea what there doing and get themselvs fucked up.
