411, it's me again an old man who is a Defensive Tactic Expert. Being an elderly man with a lot of street experience as a retired police officer I think you have done a good job at making people think about their surroundings. One thing I've learned from being a teacher of survival tactics is there is always someone better, faster and younger. It only takes one mistake for things to go the wrong way. I was at a Defensive Tactics Training Simonar in St. Louis Mo, back in the late 80's taking a knife defense course and in the class were several Navy Seals and some SF kids. I say kids because they were so damn young and excited about their jobs. During the demonstration some of the soldiers complained about not going far enough to go for a kill. Having over twelve years experience in Aikido at that time I offered to show them a more lethal move. I explained since the carpeting had very little backing the throw may be a little hard. After demonstrating an outward wrist twist into a knife removal and taking the knife down the victims arm to the back of the skull the soldiers immediately began tossing each other around as young men can. The more they practiced the take down I realized how professional they were and hoped I would never have to confront them on the street. I think knowing where you are going watching your surrounding is very important. Being a Federal Conceal Carry permit holder has its advantages since I carry a handgun and knife at all times. I also use a cane while I'm out running errands. I've been involved in several shooting and know the consequences of my actions. I think what most people don't realize is the bad people come at you when your back is to them and they never give you a break. Our society has changed and it is much more dangerous especially for the elderly. I loved being a police officer, but I kept getting older and the bad guys always got younger. Be Careful Out There!

She & friends were out in the daytime when approached by a man who said he wanted to ask her a question. Something about him must have given her pause & as he approached she said stop right there (distance) and put her hand in her conceal carry purse. It must have been obvious she had a weapon bc she said he immediately turned and left. She told me she practiced this scenario at home and used the range often to stay competent. I was impressed and immediately bought a conceal purse after meeting her.

This is problematic. Threatening a firearm, or any other weapon for that matter, without A.) Actually having one and B.) Bring ready and able to use it without hesitation can get you killed. You'd feel pretty silly reaching into an empty purse, pocket or waistband and having the bad guy pull a real weapon and use it. Too many ne'er-do-wells are armed these days to risk a game of "guess what I've got".

My personal pick is an Eskimo spitz; the American Spitz is a little smaller. I love the breed. I wanted a dog that would be protective but not aggressive. This is the one that fit the bill for me. Whether it's a small dog, medium, or large, many attackers will back off and pick on someone else rather than tackle someone with a dog. They aren't called man's best friend for nothing, especially if you are a woman. :) May God Bless you richly. There is no telling how many people that you have helped or will help until Heaven .

It is much easier to be proactive and avoid being a victim than it is to have to fight someone. 10 years ago I was working in a county jail where I had to be in shape and able to go hands on if needed. At 63, I DO NOT want to go hands on with anyone. So thank you for teaching folks how to avoid getting into the situation first. It's my opinion, if you are in a situation where you have to go hands on, you are actually in survival mode. And that may have nothing to do with trying to overpower someone physically.

First video of yours I've watched. Very well presented. 1. As you said, avoidance is key. Head on a swivel, game face on (don't look like a victim). Stay out of sketchy areas. Cross the street or retreat to avoid a group of people who don't look right. If possible, don't be alone when out walking, shopping, etc. This complicates things for the predators, and they will be less likely to select a pair of people. Another part of avoidance is being able to calm down an angry person, prevent escalation. 2. Do enough exercise to be limber and able to move well (if possible). If you are frozen up, it doesn't matter how many black belts you have. 3. Having any equalizer implies that you can move well enough to use it effectively. If you need a cane for mobility, you should probably have a fire arm. Same with a knife. If I am a predator wearing a coat and gloves, ideally leather, I am not worried about a feeble old geezer with a knife. 4. Personally, I only want two weapons. Either a fire arm for an extreme situation I couldn't avoid, or a thin steel rod about 12" long. Ideal is a 1/4" drive socket extension, which does come in a 12" length. Use it for shins, the head and fists. A tool to keep him at distance. Otherwise I prefer no weapon at all. 5. Because surprise is the best advantage, consider acting weaker than you are. This is if you think getting physical is unavoidable. Program him to be overconfident, then attack. Takes the fight out of a lot of guys. 6. If you have a fire arm, have it in your hand (still in the pocket or holster) or quick to pull out as soon as you perceive danger. Even get it out early. Let him know what awaits him. This is also avoidance, on the extreme end. BTW I am 74, and would give most young guys a hard time.

Thank You both videos are great!!!! I am a fitness professional who teaches older adults.. we work on strength, endurance, stability, balance and fall prevention. I encourage everyone to do those things. Falls kill more seniors than any other disease or ailment. If your balance isn’t great, work on it. You can probably find videos to help you if a class is not available in your area. I carry bear mace when I walk my dog. We have coyotes and if I were to run into someone that had bad intentions, the spray goes about 25 feet so it buys me time and distance. I am not looking to let someone get close enough to be in striking distance. I walk in a commercial area and I make friends with the other walkers and employees of the commercial establishment. I make friends at all the places I go. You would be surprised how people look for you and watch out for you when you do that. The other thing I want to say is you can use the physiology of the body to your advantage. Adrenaline is very powerful and you will surprise yourself, but you can really only fight for your life for about 2 minutes on the average, but I never underestimate my seniors. They have my respect.

Information such as this in today's society is so very important. Especially for us vulnerable seniors. Previously our world was so much safer. And people didn't face what's become common dangers that they do today, that threaten our personal safety. I have aged being in a ready mindset. But I see so many seniors younger than I that are walking victims. It's really difficult here in Canada to be in a prepared state of readiness. Because you are NOT allowed to carry anything for the purpose of self defense. That's why there are typically so many victims that don't do well when attacked. Both young and old alike come out on the losing end. There are shootings and stabbings daily in our big cities. It's not so bad further out of those city environments. But in the past couple of years since the COVID, things have clearly deteriorated. So to actually increase your level of survival, that Situational Awareness Factor that you talk about. Becomes extremely important with what we have to work with legally. Other than that to protect yourself or any Loved one that's with you. You are forced to violate the Law the same as the criminal you may be facing. I would recommend that people carry with them whatever it is they feel comfortable with and can effectively use. Even though it may violate the Law. The only person responsible for your safety is you. Carry what you will that increases your ability to survive any street level altercation. You owe it to yourself and your family to live. If you are unable to use a knife against another Human Being. Then don't opt for that. Choose something non-lethal like Pepper Spray. We can buy that here because they sell it for protection against nasty neighborhood Dogs. I look forward to picking up whatever knowledge and techniques I can when it comes to having to venture out in a dangerous world. Thanks for addressing this important area of concern for seniors.

Why are they watching videos like these if they already know it all! And worse, why leave those negative comments. Move on, you are not the only one in the world. I find these videos informative and appreciate the time you have taken to even think of the invisible population..the elderly. Non-elderly forget that one day they will be elderly…you can’t avoid it unless you don’t die prematurely.

I wrote this in your 1st presentation & I wanted to say again in this presentation... I'm 73, spent 6 yrs Army Res during the Nam War. I can handle most weapons,because I've shot them all. So why do I have a 20 round mini mag, .22LR laser pistol & a 20 ga. pump action shotgun for home protection?... Because my petite, 5'1" wife can handle both those weapons easily... with me... You'll look like swiss cheese when I'm done with you. And I open carry a 50 cal. non-lethal, 10 round, tear-gas pistol and a 7" blade hunting knife when I road travel on vacation... I have never had a problem, and pray I never do... Thank you, you are a blessing... Don't listen to those trolls & armchair brainiacs🇺🇸

I understand, as a 71 y/o male, what your goals are when you teach. I believe that presenting an "elderly" picture when out, could help in a attack when using that picture as a "catch them by surprise" as a more healthy individual. I hope I explained that correctly.

I am adamant that people have the right to bare arms, no exceptions. Until they invent a shrinkable cop that fits in your pocket that can be withdrawn in the event of a emergency to save you from the bad people,, we have to protect ourselves the best way we can. Don't break any laws if possible but defend yourself and God bless.

I ran across this channel when it was recommended for me! I'm SO thankful for you. The information was factual and DELIVERRED WITHOUT FEARMONGERING!!!! Thank you so much for that and your calm voice. I'm 77, disabled and no longer drive. There aren't any channels that really address the specific concerns. There are many things I already do, but many that I will be able to implement. I can't carry bear spray because in my area it's not allowed for walking around. I DO carry a small container of very cheap hairspray--full of lacquer :-) I learned that trip a million years ago before bear spray/etc was available. The demonstration with 'Bob' was by far the most valuable part for me at this time. You have made a new sub. Kuddos

I'm 65 and run a farm so I'm in pretty good shape. I always mean to pay more attention to protecting myself but I don't have a plan. I do now. You don't talk too much. You're clear. Personable. Really explain the whys and hows. I haven't decided which equalizer I'll carry on me yet but now I know how to stand, protect my head, where to hit, and not to use my fist because I have arthritis. Thank you for that, and saying you can break your hand. The criticism you've gotten pisses me off. These videos are for me. Not for smartasses who were too stupid to do a proper search for what they wanted. Don't listen to them. People my age are grateful.

100% agree, people I know don't ever think about personal safety and will basically put themselves in danger without a thought; especially when they travel or are on vacay! I didn't see the first video but I'll check it out. I can always use reminders about what I "know". My sister got PO'd with my overly zealous pursuit of safety last time we went to Atlantic City! Too bad, here we are both safe & sound. She & I go way back on personal safety and the "obvious", she has always been secure in any surrounding and I am always scanning the scene for the next death trap! 🙂LOL! A new fan, this is important. We are more vulnerable as we age and it is important we don't make ourselves sitting ducks!

Those three tips in the first video are the top three. Health, awareness, weapon. The assault you avoid is the assault walk away from. Second thing, violence from domestic partners and children. Get out of those situations. What I have read is half of assaults on the elderly are from family. For the younger viewers looking out for a parent, I say "you will probably be this old some day." And I am speaking to you. There are other things that can be done to reduce probabilities of being assaulted. Get out of urbanized areas. Stay healthier than your peers. This will require sacrifices over the years. It is easier to stay fit and active than to get fit and active after retiring. There may be financial sacrifices of living like a peasant. You may never go on a cruise. Invest wisely starting young. If you make these sacrifices and live in a quiet small town when you are old the chances of assault go way down.

If you're confident, be legally armed and unafraid to use it. If you're not, many can learn to be. In some states, Leftist government may restrict your freedom to defend yourself. It's your decision, but self protection and your life are more important than any restrictive laws. Always be aware of your environment and those who are in it. Excellent video, for people of any age.

In the last video I made a comment about K.I.S.S. KeepIt SimpleStupid. Hit hgh go low, then go high again ones attention and focus goes to where defense is needed, blows high defend high, go low , focus goes low, set the opponent high, high, low. Or high, low high, low high low high. Switch it up, take away there speed, mobility, and this also robs them of their strength, and confidence. Off balance is excellent advice.

I appreciate your videos. You provide a lot of useful information in a well presented format. I'm a senior citizen now and I realize I could be seen by certain segments of the populace as a vulnerable person. Plus, with age I've lost some of the nerve and self assurance I had in my youth. Your videos give me more confidence that with your information and my practice I can feel more capable of defending myself if the need arises.

Nothing wrong with your last video. The only thing I would have added that I don't recall seeing, was walking and carrying yourself with confidence with the head on a swivel. Not in a fearful, nervous way, but like the bull of the woods. Ok, maybe a little cocky. lol I was fortunate that my TKD instructor brought in others for seminars, such as Mike Stone and the late Jim Harrison, among many others. Men who competed AND put their skills to work on the streets. We also had Japanese weapons classes. Before I began TKD in my mid-30's, there was my violent teens and 20's. lol As you mentioned, know your surroundings. Mid-20's, I was in a gang fight in a Ft Worth bar parking lot one night. Two came at me, one I slammed his head into the rear bumper of a pickup. He was done for the night. My buddies and I took the rest with punches. Use whats around you. I came out unscathed. Once in my teens, I didn't do so well. Took a beat down on asphalt by 2 dudes. Tough getting out of bed the next morning. (or was it afternoon ? lol) Next time I had multiple attackers, it was 3 on me. Again, mid-20's. I only got in a couple of punches before they had both my arms secured and spread wide. This time I fought my way to the grass in case they got me down, which they didn't. I couldn't do much, but started head butting their punches. Better than taking one to the shock zone, especially with my hard head. lol Even though I took the most punches, I feel like I sort of won, because they got tired of hitting me. My head was sore, but not bruised or lumpy. I woke up feeling like one of my Texas hero's Randal Tex Cobb from Abilene. lol
