The thing I've found, is that confidence is key. I was a Judoka, and have dabbled in other martial arts, and I'm fairly confident I can handle myself. So when I have the occasional spat (some idiot offered me violence down the local park recently, I was walking my dogs off lead, and my dogs are well trained, so this isn't a problem, but he got instantly very aggressive), I was just calm, pointed at my dogs ignoring him and his Dog de Bordeaux, and, said if his dog has a problem, by all means keep it on a lead, mine aren't, so I won't be. Because he'd been screaming and shouting his dog got wound up, and lunged for one of mine, pulling him off his feet and dragging him though the grass. My dogs continued to ignore him. He said he was going to go home, and drop his dogs off, (he also had a Chihuahua with him) come back, and beat me up. These fake hard men are _always_ going to do it later.

I grew up doing Shotokan Karate(black belt) and Judo (BB), Currently doing Shotokan and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu( currently a blue belt and loving the ride). My favorite myths are the ones that you have to give a warning that you are a black belt to the person who is trying to fight you, for me that is an antagonizing rather than de escalating factor. The other one I love is the where you have to register your hands as offensive weapons, that story comes from a men's magazine interview with Chuck Norris where they asked him about would he use a weapon where Chuck replied "why would I used a weapon when my hands are lethal weapons", Chuck was joking people are idiots.

Giving a warning is like a red rag to a bull.

I've lost count of the fights I've broken up and am proud of the fact I've never once had to use my fists. Of course as any martial artist knows a well applied block can leave nasty bruises on arms or legs... the good old days when I could kick you in the face if I wanted to, unlike today when I'd probably do myself an injury trying to kick you in the shin.

Hi there, only just subscribed but great channel. As a martial artist of some years experience (1987 - 2014ish TAGB) & Police I'd generally agree with your points however I would emphasise re point 4 whilst you should definitely not do or say anything that might appear to be goading the opponent you should try to communicate loudly and clearly something like "Please leave me alone, I don't want a fight" whilst backing away (if you can), hands up, palms towards the opponent in a non aggressive manner. This will show onlookers (witnesses), some of whom will no doubt have their phones out, and CCTV (if any) that you are trying to de-escalate the situation. If the opponent continues towards you, closing the gap after continuous warnings (not "Come on then if you think you're hard enough!") you'd be more justified in a reasonable pre-emptive strike and, as your hands are up already, you'd be in a good starting position for the strike and to defend your head if need be.

Something that maybe worth discussing is whether on balance, anyone who is even half competent in martial arts is less likely to be in an altercation which turns physical. Practising martial arts and physical combat, imparts a degree of self-control at both mental/emotional and physiological levels. Therefore, less likely to throw the first punch. Secondly: An assailant’s ‘right hemispheric neurons’ in his brain which subconsciously looks for the opponents emotional trigger signals (such as fear) is less likely to have his fight/flight amygdala brain circuits triggered, if met with the look of, calm self-confidence, coming from the other person. A fight requires the interaction of each individuals base instincts. So, if one fella doesn’t want to play that game, it may switch the assailants left hemisphere (the logical part of the brain) back on again in an effort to find another way to achieve a remedy (or whatever it is he wants). However, if I was on a jury, I would forget all the above (prejudgements) and just follow the facts as presented - with hopefully a bit of common sense. [ I’m sure I could have said that in fewer words but its not only lawyers that find delight in being long winded ] ;¬ )

Many years ago my Japanese sensei (Asano SKIGB) was asked by a news reporter what was the best form of self defence. His reply was simple, ‘Shotgun.’ I started karate in 1965 and only gave up in recent years due to ill health. I have seen the loss of much of the martial element and too many karateka think they can defend themselves in the street. Undoubtedly some can but most would be battered by a decent street fighter when rules don’t count.

Diminutive 14 year old daughter and a few other girls were being bullied at school but nobody knew she was competing at judo. The school kept ignoring the reported situation and we said don’t use your three years of judo training. Bullying escalated so much she did not want to go to school. We decided to send a copy of her grades and last competition results together with a letter saying it was only a matter of time before she snapped if the boys kept on bullying her. They had responsibility to warn the bullies etc. Liability and we have released her to use her skills. No action from the school so a few days later in a very public area it was 4 to 1. 2 ran, 1 hard on the floor with very hurt pride, another bruised and painful wrist. No more bullying. Many years later the head told us a parent had complained but got told how the school saw it. 14 years on our daughter is a recreational boxer with confidence not attitude. The other 2 daughters did judo for years and it’s given them a lot of confidence, control and understanding about winning and loosing which their peers don’t have these days.

I am a third dan in TaeKwonDo, and I competed in the world championships. When I was fifteen, one of my bullies from school grabbed me by the neck and began verbally abusing me. I panicked for my safety and punched him in the face, breaking his jaw, cheekbone, and several of his teeth. His parents considered trying to push for a grievous bodily harm charge as his injuries were severe. I think what happened is a good example of how the standard of “reasonable force” may be applied to a martial artist. Although punching someone who has grabbed you by the neck probably is reasonable, punching them so hard that they lose consciousness and have to get plastic surgery to reconstruct their face is not. I was only able to punch that hard because I had been training for almost a decade to be very good at punching. It’s not like I got in trouble specifically because of my martial arts training, but I could not have done the thing that got me in trouble if it weren’t for my martial arts training. This is why I think the basics of law should be mandatory in secondary school curriculums. We are all expected to follow the law, but how can we do that if we don’t know what the law is? I had (falsely) believed that because he had grabbed me, any amount of force with which I chose to retaliate would have been considered “self-defence”. If he had died, I would probably have been sent to prison and would still be there today.

Usually he's spot on in these videos, but having to repeatedly state his "years of martial arts experience" makes me question if he's ever actually been in a fight? Has he ever had to test his skills in a real life setting? The idea that you can choose to apply a "precise amount of force" shows me that he hasn't. A fight quickly descends into a frantic mess, with a flurry of punches being thrown, it's quite chaotic. Very different from training in a safe environment. And if you're fighting a bigger and stronger opponent, there's absolutely no way you can "measure the amount of force" you'll use. You will simply do whatever you can to stop them, or you will lose.

I don't know if anyone will read this, but I just need to write it. In general I agree with the video, but there is one huge problem. Most people don't know anything about martial arts and get their education on the matter from martial arts themed action movies. This can become a problem, if the judge decides that your five years of aikido give you the fighting abilities of a Steven Seagal character so you deserve to be judged more harshly. There is another huge problem that no one seems to talk about. There is a huge difference between a self-defense class and a martial arts class. In general, studying martial arts for self-defense is a very bad idea. There is this thing called exceeding the bounds of self-defense. It's not just about the amount of force you apply, it's also about how you apply it. If some drunk idiot grabs you and pulls you and you decide to use your training in aikido to break their wrist or arm, technically speaking you will apply less force (measured in newtons) than the drunk idiot, but the damage you'll do will be a lot more than what he'd probably do to you - which means that you'll have exceeded the bounds on self-defense and you'll be liable. And your aikido instructor is not obligated to inform you about the legality of using a wristlock on someone who is not prepared for this. Neither is he obligated to inform you about the legality of bashing someone's head in with a wooden sword. Neither is your MMA instructor obligated to inform you about the legality of ground-and-pounding someone in a bar fight. Neither is your archery instructor obligated to inform you about the legality of defending your home with a bow and arrows. You're not in the martial arts school to learn how to defend yourself within the bounds of the laws in your country. You're there to learn a martial art. So - while you do have the right to use your training in a self-defense situation, that right has its limitations, and when you exceed them, you will be liable and, on top of this, your training will be held against you in court. The old boxer in the example here would probably be in a world of trouble if he'd continued pummeling the assailant after neutralizing him.

As someone that has gotten caught up in my fair share of trouble on the street growing up I can confirm stating you have training to fight people is not usually a very good idea. People attacking you are either too pumped with anger and adrenaline to even register or give a shit, or they have a weapon giving them the needed confidence that regardless of your martial arts that is not going to be a fair fight for you. If you run into trouble, get the fuck out without saying a damn word. If the trouble follows you and drives you into a corner, without warning or spicy hollywood oneliners take them down and run as hard as you can. If they want your stuff, give them your stuff, it's not worth the fight over it really it's a couple hundred dollars vs your life...

UK self defence laws need to be changed so that all force is considered 'proportional' up until an attacker is no longer a threat. So if you knock somebody out then decide to stomp on their head it would be a crime however if somebody broke into your house ran at you and you skewered them with a sword it would be seen as legal self defence, even if they didn't survive. When you attack someone as the aggressor you should give up any and all rights to personal safety and life and if they end up with broken bones or permanent injury that should be seen as their fault. The safety of the victim should always outweigh the safety of the perpetrator, regardless of how much force they use to disable an attacker.

Judo of course is fully defensive, Sambo was pure nastiness and how to turn every point, limb etc into a painful encounter as well as adapting just about anything into a weapon of defence or offence. On the tough south London streets the judo proved itself time and again and I got really involved doing door work in some west end clubs, always remember my favourite Sambo move... the one hand two plum twist and scream where you grab your assailant by the plums, twist and squeeze til he passes out... fight over ;)

It seems as if the Courts here favour the criminal, what with the lame excuses that appear to be used in mitigation, the impression that the Courts will attempt to "trip up" the defender, and the ridiculously lenient sentencing in the circumstances. Plus the fact that oftentimes only half the sentence is served. We are truly living in a defective, broken and terminally declining society.

It would be illegal to even think of using any martial arts involving kicking unless you're barefoot because the 1953 Prevention of Crime Act makes it categorically a crime to intend to use any implement for harm. Even for an instant, whether you think about this in the instant you are attacked or any time before or after. The 1953 law gives no exemption nor legal defence for when reacting to a specific or general threat in self-defence. Your shoes are offensive weapons because of intent, any martial arts involving kicks proves that intent.

There's also the ever famous "I have to go down to the police station every few years to register my hands as deadly weapons". If you ever encounter someone like that, he's a blaggard pure and simple. You have to register yourself and have a license in certain competitions and that's as close as that gets but never in my 15 years of being a martial artist have I had to go to the police station to put myself on a registry for how deadly I am...

I was raised in care, in the 1970s. I'm now in my 60s. Some of the self-defence skills, like biting someone's face off, are somewhat redundant now I have dentures. Am I allowed to carry such weaponry around with me if I am not on my way to a pub lunch, or should I just leave my gnashers in the car.... asking for a friend 😬

I think some people confuse the reasonable force needed to stop an attack with the force an average person can be reasonably expected to deliver. So it may be reasonable force for a trained artist to deliver one full-force punch but notvtwo punches, while it would reasonable for an OAP to deliver 2 or 3 full-force punches.

I live in hackney east London, the carrying of knifes is common place by the youth of the area, I am now registered disabled and have the need to use a walking stick, but I practiced in martial arts a few years ago, this is never forgotten and puts peace of mind when walking around my local area, I would be convenient with the knowledge I could defend myself from a knife, hopefully if I was in this situation the action of defending myself from a knife attack would be enough to make an attacker flee. That is my hope anyway. ✌️

@@gypsygem9395 I am very familiar with DLA/PIP processes, thank you. Being "registered disabled" is out of date terminology (by decades). It implies that the difficulties a person has are fully acknowledged rather than decided by some wazzock "HCP" according to their targets and mood on the day.

I did karate for 14 years. I had to give it up in 1992 due to personal reason's. In my licence it states. Must be shown to anyone as a deterrent that your are doing Marshall Arts. Not that it would help. As I stated it was used as a more of a deterrent. This is 19 years ago maybe things has changed these days. Most people backed down once a warning was given first.

Our private vehicles are searched and we can't do anything about it because no one knows their rights due to the complexity of the Maritime law.

On #1, as junior Judokas we were told never to use our martial art outside of the Dojo, so when the school bully started pushing me around, I punched him in the face, splitting his lip. I got sent to the Headmaster, and he asked why I punched him. "I had to" I said, "I'm not allowed to use my Judo, even on bullies." So that message totally backfired, Kevin got punched instead of armlocked.

I feel that the law/courts really suck when it comes to defending yourself, especially when it comes to what they see as you the defender going too far. When you are being attacked you adrenaline is pumping, you may well get tunnel vision, be scared witless and maybe go too far, but the courts don't see that, they only see it from a safe distance, in a calm and collected manner, and frame by frame analysis.

I don't think that's really the case, I suspect there is quite a lot of leeway and I think 'too far' is really quite far and most people won't fall foul. IE someone shoves you and you punch them several times and then kick them in the head when they're on the ground - too far. Someone punches you once and you hit them a few times and knock them over then that'd probably be fine, they're gonna understand you're reacting reflexively and apply some common sense. At least they do in the cases I've seen.

Got set on once by a gang of youths - I warned them that I was a black belt in origami - that soon scared them off - didn’t have the heart to tell them that origami is the art of paper folding! Whether you know martial arts or not, you should be allowed to defend yourself - this is not, AFAIK, a two-tier society! I don’t believe that a set of cliques or hierarchical organisations exist that dictate that some people can hit, but not be hit back and others can be hit, but are not allowed to hit back! Even in sporting events which place two protagonists into some sort of arena to fight each other, both protagonists have equal status - they both have one set of rules that they have to abide by - it’s not one person can hit, but the other can’t!

I'm a Yank living in the UK, and I am dismayed by the weapons laws here. I regularly carry a Swiss Army knife as a day-to-day tool, and that's legal, I'm told. But if I were to use it in self-defense I am entirely unsure whether that would put me in jail! Am I required to allow a robber knife me, rather that meet his force with the same force? So it appears. I'm licensed to carry a concealed pistol in several US states. But here I'm not allowed to carry _anything_ for the purpose of self-defence. Sigh.

No, you are not required to allow a robber to knife you. If you genuinely believe that (e.g.) he is about to knife you, you are welcome to knife him first in self-defence. BBB has made several videos on the subjective and objective tests relating to self-defence, and specifically on knives you may find this one interesting: kzitem.info/news/bejne/zm2B2oGNjpt9bG0 As to the argument of being allowed to carry weapons for self-defence would be a good thing, I'll just point out that the number of crimes involving weapons in the UK is significantly lower than in the US.

@@davidpereira9238 That's not correct. You can use lethal force if you subjectively and honestly believe that your or others' lives are in danger.

Question: there is a video floating around social media, with police offers attempting an arrest. The supposed 'offender', is filming and speaking to the police officers from the security of her front room window. The police officers are apparently trying to arrest or at least have a word with the woman for leaving a negetaive review on Google. I do not know the outcome of the situation. However, my question is, can a person be arrested or sued for slander or defimation of character if a damning review is left on social media or similar digital platforms? A video explaining any laws surrounding this subject would be interesting. Kind regards, Justin 👍

Late to the discussion, but if I'm carrying a book and a pen and my intention is to make notes, but then find myself in a situation where I need to defend myself, the book and the pen now have the capability to become weapons. As does the scarf I'm wearing and the stray cat that happens to have wandered by. Thankfully I've never encountered such a scenario - but everything has the capability of becoming a weapon. I guess the keyword is "intent".
