More 'real life' useful knowledge. Awesome stuff. We are all taught the gentlemanly art of grappling. We need to know how to apply it in street survival mode. You give us what we need to know to survive. You are the man, who else is going to tell you to bite your opponent---no one! Damn, sometimes you just have to be 'dirty' to survive

That was great! I did not expect that at all (neither did your training partner)! Once again, a simple technique that is highly effective. Many (so called) martial arts schools probably wouldn't teach this kind of technique because it is "dirty" or "unfair". Real life is "dirty" and "unfair", but you have to be willing to do just about anything to protect yourselves or your family. Keep up the great work! Love your videos everytime!

Paul,
Fantastic job, Paul! Thanks very much for the time and effort that goes into posting these videos, they are a Godsend as I've very little time to get to the gym because of my long work hours. Great food for thought, straight to the point and very well articulated. Thanks again, I look forward to the next one!

Hey Paul,
I've been a certified Krav Maga instructor and a I'm a long time martial artist and I can certainly see the value in what you're teaching. Good and practical stuff! You're right. There are no rules in a street fight. Once biting, eye gouging and groin punching (or, worse, grabbing) come into play, sport martial arts have to be adapted if you plan to use them for real self-defense. And a person fights like they train, so that adaptation had better not first be considered under fire. I will say that 99 out of 100 times, you should just walk away. I read somewhere once that a good test of whether or not you should be in the fight is if you can exactly and honestly state the situation and what lead up to it and then finish with, "so I ripped out his eye," and not sound like a psychopath. If some one is trying to kill or maim you or a member of your family then taking out his eye is perfectly justifiable. Doing it to a neighbor at a cookout because he insulted you or even slapped you probably isn't. Still, there are times when a person needs to defend himself with less than lethal force. And, even when lethal force or permanent damage is called for, it seems that these techniques will help. I'm looking forward to getting a copy of the course.

Reality check!
I'm 35 and I have been looking for a good BJJ gym where I live so I can begin training for the first time. But, I really hadn't given SELF DEFENSE a thought. I had the idea to just find a gym that had a tournament winning reputation and I thought for sure i would learn all I needed there. Now with this video and *reality check*, the very first thing I am going to concentrate on is self defense training and "sport training" AFTER I learn how to truly protect myself and my family.
THANKS A LOT FOR THIS GREAT INFO PAUL!
