I am 62 years old, and VERRY PEACEFULL PERSON. I hate fight, but sometimes you just can not avoid one. This has been fantastic, THANKS

[DeborahBurnage]

My husband was in the SAS for many years, he told me walk away these days as too many idiots drugged and with knives. Stay safe and avoid at all costs

Im 66 now. When I was much younger, I taught self defense using mixed martial arts and basic street fighting much like your teaching here. My body has suffered some pretty serious injuries that have made things much more difficult to do. I mostly stick to the basics and try to do maximum damage as quickly as possible. Everything I can damage or even break quickly. I cant run anymore, but I will try to avoid putting myself in bad situations as best that I can. Eyes, neck, collarbone, elbows, knees, groin, wrists, and a few arteries/pressure points. I have found that when there are multiple threats, if you destroy the first one within a few seconds, usually, the rest will back off after seeing that the first one is on the ground and needs medical services. Eyes, throat, collarbone breaks and broken wrists or forearms are dramatic, completely incapacitating, easy and quick. If they can't see, stand, or even breath much, they sure as hell cant be a threat anymore, and they need their friends help to get to a hospital. You dont have to be big or a martial arts master to do many of these things. Just about anyone can do them once they have been taught how to do them, and they are extremely effective.
Hit the enemy fast, hard, and repeatedly. Multiple injuries as quickly as possible. Then you know you have time to get away.
There is nothing "Fair" about getting attacked, so you do not fight it fairly. Everything you can do without a weapon, is on the table and appropriate. You have to consider that they were going to attack you and maybe leave you for dead or worse. Any damage the enemy suffers, is their own fault and the Karma that they worked so hard for. You must have the mindset that the attackers are going to try to kill you. You do everything you can to stop that from happening and making sure that they cant chase you. With my personal situation, it isnt an option as I cant escape quickly on foot. I hope that more people who appear to be easy targets, watch your videos and learn more about defending themselves.
Great work.

Striking first works on the battle field but looses horribly in court rooms unfortunately

[shaunbarnett]

The ability to read body language is super super valuable. I have completely avoided fights and altercations on a few occasions just by reading the guy's body language and expressions, and exiting the situation altogether.

As a former bouncer who has taken martial arts, boxing, wrestling, and has been a street fighter, Several of your tips I have used on multiple occasions over the years and they work. A lot of instruction I have seen on youtube may look good when your partner is letting you do the technique but they won't work in a real world application. I know from personal experience that your tips that I have used actually do work, and work well.

Im a Marine and now that I am in my 70's I am still a Lethal Weapon .

[carlosmelgarejo]

The palm strike under the chin sends the head backwards, very hard to hold your balance when your head is now looking up, this will cause the opponent to fall over, doesn't take alot of force and the follow up, hitting opponent as they are falling helps alot, I have done this many times against larger opponents.

[billpaige]

I’m not a fighter but if I ‘m forced to fight this is so important could save your life . Thank you !

[kevinbrightwell]

I’m 57 now and went through one of the best police academy’s in the US in 1989. I was 6”3 205 lbs. was an athlete through college. Only real fight training I had was with my father who was an airborne ranger in Ww2, Korea and Vietnam and taught me certain skills but the main thing he taught me was u don’t quit injured or not. I was called out by a 4th degree black belt hand to hand instructor to the mat for a full speed example. I won 3 n a row by just overwhelming a guy with my reach and strength. Long story short u can slow motion fight but when it’s real life it doesn’t always work

[larrydixon]

Thank you. Great points. Distance is critical and the best defense.

[JohnBanda-yctc]

Mr you're a good instructor the way you're teaching is really absolutely. Keep it up

[angelaholmes]

I have been watching your videos for years thank you for doing them it's so important to learn how to defend yourself

[FREE-BIRD]

Thank you ! Great brush up course. Im ready again!

[wiraldo]

The legendary Nick Drossos!
It's so good to see you well and healthy, man.👍

I've been a subscriber since 2009.
I remember the first video I saw from your channel was the Knife Defense with the Red Markers slashed on white t-shirts.

I said to myself, "wow this is a pretty realistic training, in real life you can't survive a knife attack, this guy knows his stuff." 👏

Been a subscriber since. Thank you so much for your helpful videos all these years.

I wish you all the best, Nick. Stay healthy and keep contributing to the community.
God bless. ❤

[christinemanjourides]

Thank you for going thru all elements for us with limited experience. Excellent reminder of things with upmost importance.

[edwardrhein]

Thank You for not being in a rush but taking the time to give us detail and the opportunity for comprehension. 👊 💪 👍

[wendellhoward]

Thank you for the excellent tips.
I would add a tip from a police perspective. When the cops arrive both combatants will claim to be the innocent party. So the cops will interview witnesses. If they can’t determine who started the fight all go to jail. If witnesses didn’t see the start of the conflict, turning only after the noise starts and seeing you winning they may conclude you started the fight. And you may be the only one going to jail.
I really like your open hands attack. Before the fight they look harmless. I also suggest verbally trying to descale the conflict so witnesses can hear you.

[TickellSchitts]

Great video. Also if they snuck you and got you pinned either on the ground or against something and you can't attack the eyes, throat or groin look for the ears. He'll be very close and you want to go with hammer strikes until they get back from you. Aim low so if you miss, you're not hitting skull you'll be hitting his neck. Then you can alternate low and high strikes. The ear is sensitive and they will have to free up their hands, enough for you to get the space you need to get away from him. It doesn't take much to make an ear bleed. It's also very painful and their balance will be affected enough for you to get the hell out of there. Thank you for the training sir.

[djm]

All great tips. However, in many jurisdictions a pre-emptive strike can be seen as battery, perhaps assault, even if the other guy is the one initiating the aggressive behavior. Better to use strong, direct language akin to "back off", "stop where you are", "I don't want to fight you", "I will defend myself if you dont back away", etc, ...plus put your palms up as you make it clear you want him to back away. This gives you a plausible story to tell police, especially if there are witnesses who saw and/or heard you, that you were not the aggressor, that you tried to disengage, and that you had no choice but to defend yourself.
