Street Fighting Situational Awareness

Street Fighting Situational Awareness

1) Most street attacks last only 30 seconds

2) Most important fighting skill to learn is, how to do it in any situation, any situation any any angle, any position and most importantly is what part of an assailant’s body to attack.

3) Learn to be more effective in a shorter period of time to finish the fight as soon as it start.

Self Protection Classes Singapore | | Self Protection Awareness Training

The BEST self defense is Awareness

1 . Overall look at where you're going . 

2 . Act in response . Spend time practicing a high speed flinch response in the event you're surprised by a sound , movement or touch 

3 .People give you a bad feeling as you walk. You should be aware of the person and the surroundings. Keep safe distance at least 2 arm length.

4 .Learn to strike very, very hard . Now there is no super-secret death touch . Your own personal training programs should incorporate striking things as fast and as hard as you can , while avoiding the same against you and do this while maintaining your balance . 

5 . Locks and grappling only work in movies ( fantasy ) and sports ( rules ) . Hit the eyes and throat, groin and run if you can. If not continue keep hitting with different striking tool.

Self Defense Street Fighting Methods | Racist Scumbags in Glasgow Attacking a Busker

Racist Scumbags in Glasgow Attacking a Busker 

This street performer had to take the law in his own hands when defending himself against angry racists.
According to the Scottish Express, street performer Melo was being interviewed for a special documentary for BBC.
The documentary, titled The Street, depicts encounters with residents on the streets of Glasgow, Scotland. Melo, who was sharing his story with filmmakers, was interrupted by what appeared to be two intoxicated men. The men tease and taunt Melo, spewing racial slurs like “black bastard.”
Melo (who hails from Angola) tries to ignore the men, but as you can see in the video above, the situation escalates. After police come and arrest the aggressors, Melo tells filmmakers that racism isn’t new in Scotland.

The video below is the full video street performer Melo was being interviewed for a special documentary for BBC.

The documentary aired Monday night and while it’s believed the street performer has left the country, viewers were upset that no one – including cameramen – tried to stop the attack.

Producers of the show fired back and claimed that it wouldn’t be realistic to edit out Melo’s attack and the drunk actions of other people on the show:

But anyway I would like to cover the Street Self Defense aspects. 

Now the first two picture show that street performer Melo knowing how to defense himself by raising his hand up as a fence up for defense himself from attack while talking to the attacker and keeping a safe distance which allow Melo enough time to react for defense.

Now the third and fourth picture show that street performer Melo sense the distance is too near and feel thread knowing how to defense himself by extended his hand up as a fence up and push the attacker away from him thus keeping safe distance while talking to the attacker.

Melo was good man he have the chance to strike the attacker when it is too close but he did not strike. 

Would you react like him if it is you.? Well is hard to say. Sometime if we miss the chance to strike and we would not have second chance to strike anymore. because you are giving the attacker the momentum to strike you first!

Now the firth picture show that the attacker getting his momentum to strike street performer Melo and this is the second chance for Melo to kick the attacker to defense himself from attack but he did not do it! He extended his hand up as a fence up and push the attacker away second time thus keeping him safe distance while talking to the attacker.

Now the six picture show that he is ready to fight now. An on guard stance ready to strike anytime. He warn them not to come near now.

Now the seven picture show that he is either no confidence to fight 1 on 2 or he is trying to scare the attacker away by using object to defense himself.

What do you think? He have no confidence to fight 1 on 2 or trying to scare the attacker away and avoid fight?

Fight and Flight Response Training

Many instructors would have you believe they are experts in self defense simply because they have a martial arts background and they don't actually realise the dangers of facing off against an armed aggressor, all to often they will teach you fancy methods and techniques with fancy words that in reality actually decrease your chances of survival in a real life confrontation.

Self defense against anyone, especially someone armed with an edged weapon, has to be simple, effective and work on your natural reflexes to increase your chance of survival. 

The most importance training not to forget is the adrenal stress training self defenses 

Understanding fear and the Survival Stress Response
‘'Fear is your best friend and your worst enemy, control it and win."

This video show you how our human body response to adrenal stress situation.

Adrenal stress, which will affect your effectiveness, the other is how training to solve one problem doesn't automatically translate to solving other problems, which is your specific effectiveness.

The adrenal response can also be triggered by non-life threatening high stress incidents, because the mind doesn't differentiate between real and imagined danger.

When we experience excessive stress whether from internal worry or external circumstance a bodily reaction is triggered, called the "fight or flight" response. Originally discovered by the great Harvard physiologist Walter Cannon, this response is hard-wired into our brains and represents a genetic wisdom designed to protect us from bodily harm. This response actually corresponds to an area of our brain called the hypothalamus, which when stimulated  initiates a sequence of nerve cell firing and chemical release that prepares our body for running or fighting.

What are the signs that our fight or flight response has been stimulated (activated)?

When our fight or flight response is activated, sequences of nerve cell firing occur and chemicals like adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol are released into our bloodstream.

These patterns of nerve cell firing and chemical release cause our body to undergo a series of very dramatic changes. Our respiratory rate increases. Blood is shunted away from our digestive tract and directed into our muscles and limbs, which require extra energy and fuel for running and fighting. Our pupils dilate. Our awareness intensifies. Our sight sharpens. Our impulses quicken. Our perception of pain diminishes. Our immune system mobilizes with increased activation. We become prepared physically and psychologically for fight or flight. We scan and search our environment, "looking for the enemy.

RULES FOR PHYSICAL CONFRONTATIONS (Taught in most correctional services or police training centres)

1. BE COMMITTED AND EFFECTIVE FROM THE BEGINNING.

2. NEVER SPAR WITH ANYONE.

3. CREATE A DISTRACTION/DYSFUNCTION AND ESCAPE.

4. END IT QUICKLY.

5. ACT BEFORE YOU HAVE TO REACT.

6. PRACTICE MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY.

7. COMPLACENCY KILLS.

8. ADOPT A PROPER MIND SET OF I WILL WIN. I WILL SURVIVE. I WILL NEVER GIVE UP.

9. TIME EQUALS DISTANCE AND DISTANCE EQUALS TIME.


10. BE AWARE OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT. (ESCAPE ROUTES, AVAILABLE SAFE HAVENS)

Understanding the Adrenaline Stress Response, sticking to techniques that involve only gross motor skills, remembering the Ten Rules and keeping or getting your subject off balance are the keys to controlling the outcome in most subject control situations.

How to Engage & Develop the “Fight” Reaction

Mental training "your Imagination"


The quickest way to engage your adrenaline is by using your imagination. The mind is a powerful tool and can bring us to do amazing things when properly motivated. It’s about making the stakes high enough that our desire to fight overpowers our desire to flee. In our training, we teach students to make themselves angry. We tell them to fight as though defending a loved one to shore up the power of their intention. 

We tell them to imagine that if they don’t fight off their attacker he will rape and murder their daughter, or something similar, whatever it takes to get their anger to take over, leaving their fear by the wayside. 

Whatever you use to fire yourself up, it should be personal to you. This is a good tool to start with, and something you can always go back to if needed. Ultimately though, in the martial arts you want to have a less emotionally-based way of establishing a fight reaction to get a habituated reaction that can be used more tactically if you choose to do so.

Discomfort Training. When exploring your reactions to adrenaline, it’s a good idea to start at lower levels if it’s new to you. If there is something that causes you discomfort in your training, that is probably a good place to start. If you’re afraid of being hit, you might  put on a mouth guard and head gear and have someone wearing 16 oz boxing gloves punch you in a controlled manner. If you’re afraid of being held down, you might have someone bigger than you hold you down, again in a controlled manner, so you can explore your adrenal reaction to that fear. Some people experience adrenaline rushes from performance anxiety. Performing in front of the class or doing training circles is another way of exploring adrenal reactions. Whatever you do, it should always be done in a way that is mindful of your safety.

Live Training. When you don’t know what attack is going to come next, you naturally experience a higher level of stress as compared to training with a compliant partner. When a person achieves a level of ability in which live training can be done more or less safely, it is something that allows them to learn how to apply their skills under higher stress situations. This can come in the form of sparring, grappling, or even self-defense applications in which the attacker is not fully compliant (must be done with a reasonable amount of control).

High Stress Training.we introduce ‘high stress sparring’ at higher levels. These involve sparring against multiple attackers, 2-on-1, 3-on-1, and other similarly stressful sparring scenarios. There are some rules that are followed for safety. No strikes to the back of the head, throat, spine, kidneys, and knees. Participants, both attackers and defenders, wear helmets, mouth guards, groin protectors, shin guards, etc. In these drills an instructor oversees each interaction and is ready to stop the action to maintain a safe training environment. In dealing with multiple attacker situations, the defenders can better identify their experience of perceptual narrowing, finding it harder to keep tabs on all the attackers.

How to Win a Street Fight

How To Win A Street Fight Simply By Learning How To Intercept The Attacker

The most common attempted to disengage from the attacker by backing away from the threat. This usually resulted in the attacker closing quite quickly with their victim

So most peoples natural reaction was to backing away from the attacker with knife. The main problem is that the attacker quickly closed again. 

This is why we do scenario training... So that we actually practice intercept or evading from the attacker.

We also teach things like Tactical Positioning to help you use furnature and obsticles to increase their chances of successfully evading or intercept the attacker.

Hand interception techniques are easy to learn (our student here learn in less that 2 hours training at this point in time) as they are based on natural flinch responses. They are not dependent on footwork, stances or complicated body movements and so can be utilized from nearly any position.

Dealing with real life encounters and the realities of having to deal with edged weapon attack both on the street.

Applying simple and effective reactions to sudden unprovoked attack using your natural flinch responses to your best advantage.

We practice scenario training 1

As you can see the distance is too near for reaction, if the attacker decide to attack. Thing to take note keep safe distance. If you have a bag use it and get ready for a block the knife using your bag.

If not, you have to decide when to strike the attacker even the attacker did not initiate the move. 

How when to strike? When you think the distance is too close, is not safe, you feel thread.

"The ability to intercept, then destroy your opponent’s intentions efficiently"

You intercept his intention before he make any move! With a spear fingering to the attacker eye can be quite devastating on the eyes to the attacker! The penetrating trauma upon an opponent injuries of the eye can be a serious threat to vision.

We practice scenario training 2

Some people have problem decide to strike first or your decision making is too slow thus the attacker made his first move. As a JKD practitioners we are train to intercept any telegraphic movement from the attacker. As for this scenario I would suggest a fingers jab to the attacker eye with a pivot step to the right so as to avoid the knife in case you miss the strike you are still at the safe side thus you can follow up second strike.

We practice scenario training 3

What happen the attacker is too fast and you have no time to intercept his first telegraphic movement! In this scenario proper training footwork is very crucial. As a JKD practitioners we are train to use foot work to avoid an attack and attack using a footwork

Compression and Expansion in JKD

Shuffle step avoid the attack or one step backward follow by a stomping knee joint kick to break the knee.

We practice scenario training 4

  

What happen the attacker is too fast and you have no time to intercept his first two telegraphic movement! He get his momentum of attack forward to you. In this scenario proper training footwork is very crucial too but this time we include time hit in our training. 

Time Hit

After the attacker miss the first two or three strike he will definitely strike the next fourth five six strike in this case we practice footwork, distancing with time hit. When ever we see an opening for attack, like the photo above we strike! but of course we must have proper footwork and distance. Without proper footwork and distance even you see an opening you are not able to strike. Therefore proper training footwork is very crucial in JKD.

Is this correct distance for striking? Do you thing he can strike to the nearest target knee?

We practice scenario training 5

Even when we practice time hit we must try it out to be realistic in our training! Thing may not work in real life situation because we always have a compliance training partners.

In this scenario as you can see what happen to the knifer accidentally strike to the victim cos the victim use stop kick.

Stop kick only work if the attacker have no weapons. Now question for you where should you kick than?

How To Survive and Thrive In a Street Fight in 8 Simple Steps

What can you do to prepare for a street brawl and protect yourself in this type of situation? Here are 8 simple steps you can follow to avoid ending up in the emergency room after a street fight.

1. Wake up! When someone threatens you, snap to attention. Be aware of your environment. Look for objects that you can use for weapons. Searching out a place to escape to is especially important if you’re outnumbered.

2. Try to defuse the situation. Try to talk with the guy and calm him down. If you did something unknowingly that offended him (like looking at him funny), then apologize. Don’t let your ego get in the way of apologizing for something you didn’t do. Your first goal should be to avoid fighting. Maintain confident body language. Don’t show the guy you’re afraid.

3. Walk away. If talking to the knucklehead doesn’t work, start to leave the scene. But maintain alertness and walk away backwards, still facing your opponent. If he’s a no-good, yellow-belly rat, he’ll attack you from behind.

4. Assume a fighting position. If the jerk is still threatening you and you have nowhere to go, assume a stable fighting stance. Spread your stance to about shoulder width-apart and slightly bend your knees. The goal is to maintain balance so you don’t end up on the ground. Keep your hands up to protect your face and clench your teeth. A solid punch to an open mouth can lead to a broken jaw.

5. Defend yourself. The goal is to defend yourself from violent and unjustified aggression, so don’t be afraid to fight dirty. If you have any object to use as a weapon, use it. This can be anything like a chair, a bottle (extra man points for first breaking the bottle and then thrusting the jagged part at your opponent), or a 2 X 4. Here are some other techniques that could be used in this sort of situation:

Knee to the groin. No explanation needed as to why this is effective.
Low kicks to the knee, groin, or abdomen. Kick like you’re kicking down a door, using the bottom of you foot. A solid kick to one of these areas can incapacitate your attacker long enough for you to get away.
Headbutt to the face. Your forehead is one of the hardest bones on your body. Use this to your advantage by headbutting your opponent hard across his nose. If done correctly, you can do some serious damage.
Throw a punch. If done correctly, an overhand punch can put your attacker out of commission.

6. Take punches effectively. While you should do your damnedest to avoid getting punched, you can’t avoid them all. If you have to take a punch, strive to absorb it in a way that minimizes the impact and damage..

A punch to the head. Move towards the punch, tighten your neck muscles and clench your jaw. By moving into the punch, your attacker may miss the mark wide to either side. Absorb the punch with your forehead (remember how hard it is?). If your attacker hits you there, his hand will be hurting, and you’ll have minimized the damage to yourself.
A punch to the body. Tighten your stomach muscles, but don’t suck in your stomach. Try to shift so the punch lands on your obliques rather than directly in the stomach or vital organs.

7. Give your best war cry. While defending yourself, make as much noise as possible. There are two reasons for this. First is the intimidation factor. Yelling may distract and intimidate your attackers, leaving you a better chance of getting in some good blows or getting away. The second reason is to draw attention. The more people who gather around you, the easier to call a douche bag’s bluff.

8. Make your escape. After you have incapacitated your attacker using the methods described above, get the hell out of there.
