“You drive the same friend that my car drives” 😂

[danman]

There are 3 concepts I learned which I found useful: 1) Hard-on-Soft: Punches are hard, so hit soft targets (such as the throat). Palm strikes are soft, so hit hard targets (such as the skull or the jaw) and you won't injure your hand. 2) Life Support system: Strike the weakest areas on the opponent: Eyes, throat, carotid arteries (side of neck), ears (clap on them) and groin. 3) Diminished Fighter theory: Your opponent is at 100% health, and you must wear him down, so strike multiple times.

5. Uncage your inner animal. We all have it. Fight like your life depends on it, because it might.

Probably the one “self-defensive” tip I could add is to just avoid places that put you in danger altogether: don’t go to biker bars, don’t get gas at night in a shady neighborhood, don’t walk through dark alleys, don’t park your car in dark spots with no lighting.

"You drive the same friend that my car drives..."
I lost it. 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks a lot Jason. I'm a daughter of a police officer myself, yet I feel like I don't know enough when I watch news and the horrible crimes committed everyday. Living in a populous country makes it even worse. These videos of yours are not just knowledgeable but also gives us girls the confidence we very much need. Kudos to you. From India.

Thank you Jason, for all the information you generously provide. Here are some suggestions those who are no longer able to escape by running or are less capable of defending themselves than they once were, may find useful.
Three principles. If a person cannot stand, they cannot fight. If a person cannot breathe, they cannot fight. If a person cannot see, they cannot fight.
If you are attacked by more than one person, attempt to 'herd' them together so it is difficult for more than one to attack you at the same time. (they get in each other's way).
Joint manipulation does much to compensate for a lack of strength.
Try to grab a finger and as forcefully and quickly as you are able, bend it the way it isn't designed to bend. Even if you are a 98lb weakling and he is a 300 lb weightlifter, this will break the finger, but you need to put everything you have into it. The same is true of all defensive moves. Give it all you got!
You can also put one hand on top of your opponent's wrist, the other underneath their elbow and as quickly and forcefully as you are able pull down on the wrist while lifting the elbow up and out. This will either break their elbow or dislocate their shoulder.
A 'knife' hand to the middle of the throat is more effective than a fist to the throat.
The further your opponent's arm is extended, the weaker it becomes. The less you extend your arms, the stronger they are.
It would be good to find a 'workout friend' so you both can practice these techniques.
I also suggest carrying a heavy cane with a u-shaped handle. This can be used to maintain distance by FORCEFULLY thrusting it into the chest or abdomen, the 'hook' can be used to manipulate their movements and balance or jerk a foot out from under them and of course the shaft can be used to strike--preferably hard surfaces such as the head, shin, etc. The farther down on the shaft you grip the cane, the harder the blow will be.
A cane is the only weapon one can legally carry anywhere.
Of course it is best to try and avoid 'dangerous' areas and, as much as possible, travel in groups and remember, when it comes to defending your life or the lives or others, there is no such thing as a 'dirty' move.

I never look at my cellphone in public. I watch everything and everybody if possible Makes a big difference

Slowing down at a gas station and you spot someone approaching you right away, just fine a new gas station.

I love the blooper "you drive the same friend as my car drives!"
I pay attention to my surroundings, however, I have this ability in which I can feel bad energy. Walking home one afternoon I felt really bad energy coming from behind me, so I started walking in a silly manner, skipping then turning around to access my situation. There was a guy about 20 feet behind me. So, I kept up the goofy walk as I increased my speed and as soon as I could turned towards my destination which was blocked from his view by some bushes then ran like hell to my gated apartment complex.

The recommendation to target the face and neck areas on a larger opponent is exceptionally good advice. Body hits on a large person will have much less affect on your assailant than strikes to the head, neck or other critical areas that are not protected by muscle and/or fat.

My last sketchy situation was a stairwell at a parking garage. Oddly enough I used the stairs because I didn't want to be isolated and situationally detached in an elevator. One guy was below and there was a guy quietly keeping pace with me from behind and up the stairs. I saw the guy down below look at the guy behind me. I guess the look was to call it off because nothing happened. I was aware of the guy behind me and the guy in front of me... I looked right at him. I think they were looking for easier prey.
My point, be confident and show no fear and you will be surprised at how well it works. To gain self-confidence Jason has real-world simple advice that works.

The second story - WHY would you get out of your car??? Stay in the car make sure doors are locked and drive away to a safe place! Or if you're that low on gas - honk your horn repeatedly while calling 911.

00:31- Where is that chart from?
There was this punk in traffic, who turned in front of me from the wrong lane. I beeped, he gave me the finger, then we started playing bumper tag. Mistakes on both sides here. When traffic stopped, I got out and he got out, (more mistakes, I could have gotten shot)(or him), and we stood face to face. He had a steering wheel lock on hand, I had nothing. He's yelling: "Bring it on, bitch!" So I kicked him in the head! (He wasn't that tall) This wasn't actually the best thing to do, but it just came to me in the moment. He falls into a moving lane of traffic, and trying to get up, he keeps stepping into his baggy pants, falling down repeatedly. Me and the other drivers were just kinda staring at this spectacle. That was about it, and he quit being physically aggressive, and just resorted to running his mouth about how badazs he was. I said: "I already knocked you down, what else you want?" He was just a rediculous piece of isht.
As I've gotten older, I've calmed down a lot, and try to be as peaceful as possible. My temper has always gotten me into trouble. So much so, that I was my own worst enemy. Insecure people make their own problems, attract trouble. "Be cool, fool!"

Thank you again! I watch all your self defense videos. I am an older woman, I have no one to practice with, but I replay the moves in my mind, hoping that will help.

The most simple, direct, logical self defence lesson on YouTube.

Thank you. In my younger years travelling in Africa and walking the streets at night my head was 360 degrees. I dont know if i was lucky or developed a sense of awareness.

[dirk]

Hey Jason, great content! Even for me as an ex solider and ma teacher with 20 years of self defence experience, there is always new input. Wish I were living in the US to be able to attend one of your seminars... Blessings from Germany!

P.s. excuse my crappy english 😅

2:34 LOL you drive the same friend that my car drives. I thought i was the only one who mixed words up.
