Thank you.
Hi, I'm Master Tsai.
In the last few minutes, I hope you enjoyed the entertainment.
All these super fancy techniques that we just demonstrated for you,
unless you like Steve Seagal or Bruce Lee,
these techniques probably won't save your life in a real trouble situation.
What I want to do is teach you the real knowledge and know-how
how to truly save your life in real life-threatening situations as we practice.
First, we want to talk about situations in weapons,
when somebody has weapons and they want to try to hurt you or kill you.
One of the things we need to recognize before a person hurts you,
while when a person is going to be hurting you, what do you sure do?
So, we're going to begin with the first part to understand,
thinking about being a tough target to hit, a hard target to hit.
You know, when somebody gets a gun point at you or a knife point at you,
I know what I'm teaching you, you're going to say,
well, what if I freeze up?
And these are the things I want to teach you.
Don't freeze up.
And it's in nature to freeze up.
That's why you want to learn these reflexes and techniques.
Don't hesitate, because hesitation can get you killed.
What you want to do is learn and practice these simple techniques.
I'm going to show it to you in slow motions today,
so I can work on it.
And once you get inside of you,
on any time of emergency, you don't have time to think.
Just remember, don't think about it.
Just use your technique that you learned when a life and death situation.
It's true, though.
When a gun point at you, the gun barrel looks so extra big.
When a knife point at you, that knife looks extra long and extra sharp.
And it seems easy now, but it isn't that easy.
If you don't look at a gun and a knife to intimidate you,
don't let it intimidate you.
Remember, gun and knife can't hurt.
Attackers make it hurt.
We must drop and stop attackers.
This is our number one goal,
or avoid the close distance with attackers.
Three vital areas we talk about. Sorry, Dino.
Three areas that we talk about.
Eyes, throat, knee.
These are the simple areas to reach.
Grab hold of me and put a knife on my...
First thing people go, oh, I'm in trouble.
Let's see if we can switch this around.
And first thing I do is...
But it's not true, though. See? It's that simple.
This hand could be here, and this finger could be there,
and he want me to see for a while. Can you see?
Nothing? Okay.
And if you can grab this, most people try to fight this.
Don't fight that. Break this.
So easy to break these things.
That's why I kick the guan,
because anybody can take a kick in the guan
and still get up and chase you.
But it's very hard when this knee goes down.
And there won't be a chase you.
So, you know, you be surprised how a knee builds.
Knees build at a certain angle.
If you just do it right, it takes a few ounce of strength.
So even the person is taller than me and stronger than me,
but when I do it right, when this break,
he actually is shorter than me and smaller than me.
That's because he be on his knee.
See? He's like shorter than me now.
So we can equalize size.
And then he's hard from the chase.
So the whole idea is go ahead
and do the three basic areas that we teach today.
Thank you.
When somebody come in at you and attack you,
you just give up and become an easy target
for somebody to hurt you.
That's the last thing in the world you want to do.
You've got to learn not to be an easy, simple target.
So this is the advance.
When you block, you strike, you hit, you kick,
and you drop the person down,
and it can be a Bruce Lee if you want,
Bruce Lee does.
What I'm going to teach you is all near people.
We can't afford to do that.
When somebody have a knife, points up,
you want to stick that hand right straight into the throat,
here, and then take him down if you want to do that.
But mainly simple practice.
Practice this trick.
See? Come straight in like an airplane.
Go in here and go back.
So, by the way, if you happen to have a pen on your hand,
you can grab the pen and you can do the same thing.
It makes no difference.
See? This is a whippet.
This is what's going to hurt you.
And that's the advantage of pushing him.
My advantage is this.
This is a target.
It doesn't matter how it works.
It just works.
So a whole simple technique is this cobble-head strike.
Just learn this and go into it.
You may practice this with a piece of paper,
holding up in the ear,
and then poke through the paper right along.
So now, when somebody, you see somebody with a knife,
point out, before anything happen,
just learn to shoot straight out.
Pretend this is the whippet.
Don't let the technique intimidate you with the knife
because you get killed every time, see?
But as soon as somebody pick up something,
you give them something back.
So vital technique versus whippet.
The only weapon is a deadly because the attack is holding it.
The really only reason we're effective,
no matter who you are,
because you want to hit the vital area.
That's why today we're going to learn three simple vital areas.
You don't have to learn a lot.
If you had a knife,
and if I can come in here and break this,
then I can slowly run away if I want to,
and he still won't be able to catch me
because he has to do one leg hop to catch up with me.
So the whole idea is, can you stop them from further?
Stop the attackers. Stop the attackers.
What is a knife?
What is a knife of God doesn't really make a difference.
First, we avoid a fight.
This is not about fighting.
This is learning about winning.
Winning a fight, you don't always fight.
If you can avoid it, you can get away.
The odds for you to get hurt,
and it's very slim.
Even a little person have a gun.
It's a sure thing getting killed if somebody have a gun.
So don't move or I get on your knee.
If it's crazy enough to do this,
it's crazy enough to kill you.
I would rather take a chance,
turn around, half the time he can hit you anyway.
Not half the time he can hit you in a vital area to kill you.
And not half the time he get discouraged and he quit.
He won't even shoot you.
I would rather take three chances,
three percent of chances getting killed,
than make sure a hundred percent of time
I'm going to be hurt and be killed.
So the whole idea is avoid,
make it hard target to hit,
and tough target to hit.
So what's the difference between the two?
Hard target to hit, get away.
If I have, if I see there's some part of knife,
that far distance, remember,
that distance you have to fight the weapon.
It's, the only way you're going to get him
is when he reach for the knife,
you strike him in a vital area.
Doesn't matter.
You strike him in a vital area.
If it's already pulled out and it's too late,
then you got to choose to be a hard target to hit.
So when I'm here, I'm a tough target.
See, anybody will hurt anybody.
If you act like a victim, if you act, give,
if you give up, if you give in,
people make it easier for attacker.
Attacker will take advantage of you.
What you want to do is to make it hard for him.
Attacker hates that.
If somebody's going to pull out a knife,
he's got a knife in the back pocket,
reach for the pocket, and I go like this,
takes him right down.
Guess what?
It's real simple.
You don't need to be expert.
Watch my hand.
See, it's open like this, and shoots right in there.
Doesn't matter who it is.
It goes right down.
Now, don't do anything yet.
Okay.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
All right.
Now, wait.
I've got you in it.
Now, I'm going to grab.
No!
What did you do?
What did you do to my son?
Well, see, this is called eagle claw in martial art.
Well, I hate it.
When you grab him.
Oh!
Oh.
Next technique is my favorite technique.
It's called eagle claw.
Eagle claws basically work like eagle, the claws.
So simple.
That's what I mean.
When we do attack, no matter what we hook,
I can go straight for the neck and lock.
If my hand happen to lock this way, the alimap,
oh, see his face?
The light little contact becomes very effective.
Danny Bonaducci, and I did an infomercial show.
In 20 years training, he didn't even know what this is.
This is so simple.
Someone who grab all of you.
We let you go.
And first thing people do is try to fight me.
And when they grab this simple eagle claw.
See, how did this go?
Watch.
I hook it in here, grab in here.
See, it takes a very little.
I grab here and lock in here.
It takes the same thing.
I grab in here and do this.
It makes no difference where I grab.
It's called eagle claw.
What the whole concept of this is, by the way,
if this area hurt that bad, the vital area hurts worse.
So somebody with the claw, they come in here and they hit you.
It's like glue, you know.
It sticks right to where everyone sticks.
And lock it.
Just squeeze.
Best exercise to do this is do this.
Until you learn how to squeeze.
What you do is lock the grab.
See?
Thumb in here, forefinger in here.
And when you lock, don't close your hand,
because when you close hand, he may be gone forever.
So be very careful.
I can lock this to the facial area and lock, and lock.
No matter where I lock, it takes very little.
You OK?
It's fine.
Then there's a lot of time people don't realize this.
They try to fight people off very hard.
If you grab this part back here, it takes very, very little.
He don't like this feeling, so I know.
There's a little stuff called love handle area.
When somebody choking you, grab you too tight.
You grab this love handle, and they quit right away.
Now, you could grab this yourself,
and whip it in one time and see what happens.
So this is called ego claw.
Often somebody can grab you low.
And you can use the same ego claw to grab anywhere.
Of course.
You OK?
Someone could be choking you with your heart.
You're all the way down here.
The ego claw in here, all in here, it can whip,
and does the same thing.
So ego claws can work against almost everywhere.
But my favorite area is the neck area.
So any given time, somebody could be muscling you,
powering you, a simple ego claw locks immediately.
It takes no force.
It's not a force anymore, or the size.
It's the vital.
Remember that.
When somebody point a gun at you in a distance like this,
you might as well think you're dead,
because you're really not going to do anything now.
Well, so what kung fu going to do for you?
Probably nothing, because we're too far away.
But you got it done again?
One thing I learned about winning a fight without fighting,
first we should try to avoid this situation never happen.
But if somebody's going for the gun, which?
And we need to immediately counter
and strike our opponents at the same time.
Now, I want to explain to you.
By the time this gun picks us up,
this far away, it's called this distance.
I recommend you do one thing.
Give up anything except your life.
So that's what this self-defense is all about.
Don't give up your life.
If you want the wallet, if he wants anything,
do give it to him.
But you know, sometime in real situations,
that people are crazy enough to point a gun at you,
and he's crazy enough to shoot you and kill you.
One other thing I want to explain these things today,
may save your life if you pay attention and practice this.
When someone point a gun at you,
half the time they cannot hit you and shoot straight.
So one other thing I do is, because he probably will kill me,
he is going to kill me.
And now to stand there and give up and say, shoot.
Well, that means giving up your life.
But if you take off, do run.
Half the time, person cannot shoot straight anyway.
And that takes 50% of chances away from you.
That's called hard target to hit.
Second, as you're running zigzag,
another 50% of chance he can hit you at all.
So now he got 25%.
He's got 25% of chance to hit you.
The next thing is even better yet,
because when you're moving around,
half the time he cannot hit the vital area.
He can kill you.
So now you're down to 12.5% of chance he can kill you.
As you're running further and moving,
well, half the time they're probably just not going to proceed.
Now you got 6.5% of chance he's going to shoot you.
But if he did decide to shoot you by then,
it's worse for his target.
So now you got 6.5% of chance.
Maybe you may get shot or get killed 3% of the time.
But if you do nothing and just stand there and accept this,
you're chance or odds are 100% getting killed.
So what I'm saying is,
learn to be a hard target to hit.
So now I'm going to explain how this works.
First, back up just a little bit.
As the person points a gun at you and tells you,
can you sense it? This person just wants something.
If he does, give it to him.
If you know a person is going to kill you,
do turn and go and turn zigzags in the running.
As fast as you can.
Because now, remember,
the whole idea is to protect your life and save your life.
Today we're not teaching you how to fight.
We teach you how to run.
Now, that's called being a hard target to hit.
Next thing I want to talk about is called tough target to hit.
What makes a tough target?
Here, when a person hit a gun,
lock it up.
And this person, you know he's going to get it.
And he's coming at you.
Walk into me.
And he's going to be intimidated.
I don't know if he's going to kill me or not.
That's why our philosophy is to say,
the best way to win a fight is don't fight at all.
Or end the fight before the fight.
So as he comes up,
I see the gun, don't wait and see.
That's what most people do.
Wait and see if he pull out a gun and he do this.
Or pull out a knife.
We're going to talk about knife in a little while.
And as he comes up,
first thing I want to make you understand,
gun is deadly when there's an attacker holding it.
Without a person holding this gun,
this gun is only a weapon.
It does not do a thing.
But to equalize,
if you let a gun intimidate you and say,
oh, I got to fight that gun,
you never win fighting against a weapon.
So we never want to fight against a weapon.
I'm going to teach you the simple philosophy
how to really protect your life.
Put it back.
That gun can shoot you and can kill you.
But remember to equalize is a vital area in the human body.
We call vital defense.
Vital technique defense.
And this is where the real ability comes in.
Before this guy reach for his gun,
I want to hit him in the vital.
When I hit him in the vital,
he's going to go out just like anything else.
See, as a student and as you're learning over there,
I want you to take your hand for a minute.
Put it in a hand like this.
By the way, it doesn't have to be a hand.
It could be a pen.
It could be a videotape.
Anything.
It makes no difference.
The key is to strike in the vital area.
If I strike this area,
see how light I hit?
It does not matter how hard you hit.
It doesn't have to hit hard.
So I'm going to teach you the technique.
Just straight attack.
Pull out your gun.
Don't ever give them a chance to pull out your gun.
Don't ever give them a chance to pull out your weapon.
Because when they pull out your weapon,
you're fighting weapons.
Only per time this weapon can be deadly is what?
There's an attacker, someone holding it,
trying to hurt you.
What's your problem?
Your problem is not the gun.
It's the attacker.
Now, these are the techniques we teach in self-defense.
Protect yourself.
One of the ideas, three philosophies I believe in.
One, shoot.
If you strike, a person can't see.
If a person can't see, he cannot focus too good.
Usually they cannot shoot straight when they can't see.
So one of the areas that I would strike immediately
is striking with a double dragon.
When I do this, what I would do is usually practice
on a piece of paper and go right to penetrate.
Don't worry about it.
Just pick it up and just move.
As soon as you move, move right into it.
Pick up the gun.
Get yourself ready.
Pick up the gun.
You can pick up the gun fast, slow,
then you can put your hand up there.
But remember, if he gets the weapon,
attacker is the violence.
Next thing, equalize this.
Vital area is the violence.
So strike the vital area.
It's very, very important.
That's the only equalizer we have.
When in a knife position and fighting,
most people do is have a knife on their hand,
and they're looking at the knife,
and they're worried to death about this knife.
Well, remember, let's go back.
If I run, he'd probably leave me alone,
but he may chase me.
And I have an option.
When he come around, put the knife right there.
Now you see the knife over there?
Pick it up and use it.
Before a person pick it up and use it,
you do want to go ahead
and damage your opponent right away.
You don't want to wait until they pick up the knife
and hurt you.
Before weapons drawn, try not to fight a weapon.
Stop the fighter first.
But here, got it up.
There's a knife that's going to attack you.
Attack.
You can act like a Steve Seagal and do this,
but you know what?
This is not going to work for average people.
Never learn martial art.
What I think will work most effective,
get the knife up.
First thing I see the knife,
immediately go for the knee joint.
This is called simple stepping front kick.
Forget about this, it's going to stab you.
If you get this foot in there first,
and drop it in there first,
this thing is not going to come.
And what happens if I turn around and go,
he only got one leg.
He's going to have to hop to chase me.
And I think it's going to take him longer
to hop and chase me,
and then we can get away.
Remember, safety is the most important.
You don't want to be a hero.
You don't want to be an expert.
You may be a small person like me.
You may be a little older,
and you might move a little slower,
but it's okay because when you drop this kick,
when you walk slower,
he still has trouble hopping and catching up with you.
So remember, it's not the knife that we fight.
It's the attackers we drop.
That's more important.
Drop your attacker first.
Okay, now I want to show you some real-life situations
when a gunpoint, knife points you
from different angles and different positions.
How do you make the true decisions?
When to move, when not to move,
and the right move to make.
Let's start out with...
Jeff, would you come up here with the knife?
Remember, destinations are very, very important.
Point the knife at me like if you were really involved in fighting.
Okay, now, from this far away,
really, if you were an expert,
then you need to wrap around your shirt
and you get involved in fighting.
But truly, if you can be that far away,
unfortunately, sometimes we don't have any room to go,
and we might be in a dead end,
then that's forcing you to protect yourself.
But if we have room to move, let's get out of the way.
What happens if a knife is here and a person says,
don't move?
Don't move.
Okay.
This close, tell me no move, I think he's in trouble.
Because, see, one of the things we want to do
is actually move from here and turn our body out of the way.
See, when I turn like this, even if you stare,
my body's automatically out of the way.
So don't move inside into the knife
because you can get actually cut instead.
But this is a good wrench.
Anytime when somebody have a knife in here
or a gun this close, which probably they don't happen,
now unless they make a fast swing,
and then you have to block and move.
Swing to my face, then you got to block and move.
So remember to move outside, away from your enemy,
away from the weapons.
And when the weapons are attacked,
remember the very simple shot.
It's really easy. You can come from here, you can come from there.
It doesn't matter which way you come from
because however the way you do it,
it's always into the vital area.
So when you get this close, that's no problem anymore.
The guns over here, actually if you were to get a real advance
by a little simple like this,
you're broken and the knife falls off.
But let me give my enemy back the knife.
What happens if this person comes from behind
and puts you on the neck?
Put the knife on the neck.
Here, now, if you tell you not to move,
it's actually smart because if you move forward,
you probably get cut.
So you don't want to move.
But what happens from this point on,
if I get, I got to make a decision.
This guy wouldn't come in and slice me.
If he is, I have to do something.
If he's not, it's just going to make me walk.
I'm going to need some time to protect myself.
But any given time when somebody do this to you,
one of the thing is, see here,
you want to reach your hand over
and be able to lock this control of this part of your hand.
Cut me.
See, he can't cut.
So you want to lock this for a second
and turn around and help himself for a minute.
See, by turn like this, you can help him stab him.
So a simple movement from lock and relax and do this,
and the knife goes right straight to himself.
So knife can hurt you,
you can help him hurt himself.
It's very easy to hurt himself.
Third, yes, if a knife was already here
and points the knife on your back and said don't move,
well, unless you know how to grab you right,
you don't move.
But remember, the smartest way to do it
is not move into it and see what happen here.
If you can't, if you have to,
by turning outside,
turn your body outside,
slow motion,
by turning your body outside,
you would automatically run away
back and the,
which technique is that?
Tiger claw.
Eagle claw.
Okay.
Knife comes straight,
people slice,
down.
First thing most people do is called blocking.
So again, blocking.
This is not correct thing to do
because actually you can get cut up.
See, can get cut up very bad.
But if somebody come and lose it,
kick the kneecaps.
Stay away from him, kick the kneecaps.
Kick the kneecap and run
if you have to.
But the whole idea is not to fight the weapon.
Never fight weapon this way
because you could be very deadly.
You again slice,
I might be run away and then move in
and do this.
So whole concept is
don't fight the weapon.
Let him miss, then move in.
Okay.
Now next thing I want,
next one I want to demonstrate,
my son Kenny,
and he is going to come up and demonstrate
the gun technique with Kenny.
Would you come up with a gun?
Now, remember
the gun pointing in many, many situations.
First thing,
see somebody just did that
and I stand there and wait for it.
Do it again, would you please?
Anytime you know,
you want to avoid the confrontations
of potential situations.
So try to avoid these situations first.
But if you see
one thing we have called six instincts,
we can sense the violence that people have.
The minute you can sense this
and you go, oh no,
he's getting the gun, guess what?
It's too late.
But you do that again,
which for your gun, I'm going to take off.
When I'm gone,
he's got might not even pull out yet.
So I'm not teaching you to be a coward,
I'm teaching you to really learn
to protect your life.
Because your life is a very serious matter.
No matter what anybody think, you only got one life to live.
I know we only here so long,
but we can stay here as long as we want.
Bye, learn to be smart
on the street or in a real situation.
Next thing we're going to talk about,
it's too late.
Somebody hit the gun and you're walking by the street
and pull out again first,
and the guy said, don't move.
Well, that's kind of far.
Now here is the difference.
The guy's got a gun here
and I'm going to look at this guy.
What would he want?
My life?
Remember, you can't give up anything.
Give it to him.
But don't give up your life.
So the first thing to learn is to be calm for a second.
Think about it.
How can I calm this person down so he don't use a gun
for a split second?
But this man, it's your enemy,
that you hurt his family or you did something to him
and he's seen this guy come out
with a gun to avenge.
First thing I want you to do is not sit there
and decide, I wonder if he's going to do this.
Turn around and go.
Take off.
That life you saved could be yours.
Now, that's assuming
we didn't know that.
We know the guy behind me won't rob you,
you probably have a problem, and his hands this close.
Now, that's a good gunfighting
right here.
The person puts the guns very close to his body
so he cannot reach them.
So we know he is an expert.
But when we are this close, remember,
never turn in and fight it.
Attack.
Simple thing to do is to drop and grab the gun,
see?
Grabbing here and pushing it down
is one other thing, but remember,
don't fight and struggle for the gun
because by the time you get free,
he's still probably going to shoot you.
What we want to do is, as soon as you do this,
you might want to go right into, immediately,
right in the throat and shoot right in there.
Remember, as I said,
when they can't see, they can't focus.
The idea is
this is only temporary
overcoming. This is something you have to
go in and do.
Now, let's do a slow motion for a second.
Put the gun here. First thing is,
we have to turn the body away from it.
As we did that, watch how my hand
moves at the same time.
So, automatically, I get double defense.
One,
I push the gun away.
Two, I'm no longer there.
When you put that double movement in there,
the body automatically defends itself
for a second. But since you do that,
the natural reflex, the hand has to come out
through the neck. Will I do it?
Oh, through the eyes.
Oh, very simple. Since we turn this,
break this immediately.
And then, of course, you can help
him a little bit and let him shoot himself.
But,
remember that you got here,
turn, let the thing
turn. You got
one hand here, turn here,
and strike immediately. Remember,
things happen in split seconds so fast
we need to react
to them.
Second, what if a person's on the back of you?
Like this.
Your hands up, and you're thinking,
this person's really going to kill you.
And,
he's just going to talk to you for a second and he's going to kill you.
One other thing I would recommend
is to do is react.
Don't wait. First, if you want
to run, you can. Remember, when you run,
you want to run zigzags.
Harder for him to shoot.
Even if he hits you. Your
living is very much better.
If you get down
on your knee, and the guy says,
get down on your knee,
and close your eyes, and you
put your hand on your gun, well then what you do?
You're giving up. Don't give up.
Like I said, you can give up anything, but don't
give up your life.
Here, do it again.
Always turn outside.
By dropping one hand,
and immediately the gun points
the other way, you go
claw through the throat, if you have to.
From here,
remember, see? Turn
in slow motions.
The guns already point in different ways.
You go claw through the throat,
if you have to. But remember,
that's got to be so fast,
otherwise this guy, he can't still
point it back at you.
Another thing you can do is, when you turn this,
do help him
by pointing at him. Remember, you got two hands now.
As you turn, use both hands.
One hand, grab this, now the other hand, point.
And let him point at himself real quick,
and he might just pull the trigger
by accident.
Often when you're walking,
see, he's making you walk.
Since you walk, especially
take the left step.
Since the left step is to walk,
you turn with it.
See?
Walk the right,
then walk the left.
So if he's the right-handed,
let's say, if he's the left-handed,
walk the left,
walk the right,
and turn. It's the opposite.
See, the minute you walk,
you shift out of focus
right away. And since you shift out
of focus, use the right hand,
walk the left,
you're actually in a perfect
position to do anything
you like to do.
Gun pointing at me? In my head?
Somebody's crazy enough
to point a gun at you here and tell you not to move,
because you're probably going to blow you away.
Eh, probably the dumbest thing
he can do, and most dangerous
moment. Because when you look at that gun,
the barrel is really, really big.
So what we need to do, so remember,
if this close, see,
he can't move, say bang when
I move. Bang. Too late.
What happens is, you actually
can always move before a person can say bang,
or pull a trigger. What you want to do is
turn with it. Again,
the minute you turn with it,
because you're so close, you need to get
close right away. And
use a tiger claw, an eagle claw,
into the throat,
grab the
atom apple here, right inside,
when both finger touches it,
he automatically drops for good.
If you are here, you can
go ahead and drop the knee, accidentally,
and break the leg
at the same time. Oh, when you lock this,
you can go ahead and take him down.
There, he has a very,
very serious technique, put it up
here in front. This is a good technique
I like to do.
When you use your hand right in here,
it doesn't move too fast.
And gun at the mic, it knocks out the hand.
Right there again.
Okay, gun right in here.
Remember, what I just told you,
make a turn. As I make a turn, the hand's
right here. But I help him right
here a little bit.
It's right in there. Very simple.
If you hit real hard, you break the
nerve system in here, in the
hand, the gun automatically turns back.
Of course, this gun can actually
automatically misfire
when you turn it real fast.
But,
what I really would do is grab this out of the way,
really, and try to turn it
as quick as I can,
and go for vital areas as soon as I can.
Okay.
Thank you, Skinny.
These are the things that I
like to help you remember.
The information and knowledge
that can save your life, besides
the physical defense and mental defense.
These are the things called
don'ts and dos. Let me suggest,
first thing you do, you do not
do. Don't freeze up.
You can't protect yourself
if you cannot move or think.
Second, don't give up life.
It's very precious.
We only have one. So,
in that way, you not get a second chance.
So, don't give up your life.
Don't hold your breath, and hope
they will go away. You have to do
something. If you don't know what to do,
you're in trouble. So, learn to do something.
Don't say, I can't.
Don't be afraid
to face that.
The fear. It's just not going to
go away. Just face it
if you know you're going to get hurt.
Don't beg for mercy
when someone says, they are going to
really kill you.
When someone puts a gun on your head
and tells you to get
on your knee, chances are they are crazy
enough to put a gun on your head
crazy enough to shoot you.
So, don't give up.
Don't fight.
If you don't have to,
the risks are not
worth it.
For water, rain, or water,
or something you can replace, give it to them.
But do fight for your life.
Do stay calm.
Panicking
in a dangerous situation
may only make it worse.
Realize that you
action, or lack of
the action could
determine the outcome of your
problem.
Switch from
victim thinking. Don't think like a victim.
You might have to think
aggressive when you know you're going to get hurt.
You cannot
win if you are afraid to even
try.
Attack the person, not the weapon.
Treat the weapon as an extension
of the attacker's arm only.
Win the fight by
using the
don't fight philosophy.
Don't fight.
Don't abuse things I
teach you, unless
they're for real situations.
And when in the real situations, today I'm not
teaching you how to fight. I'm teaching you
how to really protect yourself.
These techniques, as vital as they
are, they're only effective.
And they're more effective
than the weapon. So, sometimes
you really want to learn not to fight
the weapons, but use the
vital techniques. And these
techniques are not for playing, are not
for trying out, but you do need to practice.
I recommend paper as
a good target area to practice.
Go and do paper.
Remember, it's not how hard you hit, it's
penetrating. As soon as you can learn your technique
to penetrate through these paperwork,
these paper demonstrations and
practices, your technique will become
second nature for you.
Second, you don't need to
learn all the fascinating, fancy
things. Because, see, the simpler
technique, the easier
technique, the quicker the technique,
the effective the techniques.
And don't want to remember a lot.
You don't want to learn a lot.
See, if one or two techniques
not going to work for you, five thousand
techniques will get you killed. So,
whole idea is to learn one, two,
three simple techniques.
And practice these three simple techniques.
You may not be
in tip-top shape, you may not be
so flexible, but these three
techniques are made for anybody.
Whether you're
small, you're shape, you're strong, you're weak,
it makes no difference.
These techniques are designed based on
vital areas, quick
simple movements, and
instantly drop-down
techniques. All these techniques that we
learn today, they can
protect yourself against any weapon.
Club, gun, knife,
short, long. Remember,
today we need to learn to fight
against weapons. We learn to protect
against weapons by
handle your attackers the right way,
strike your attacker the right way.
And weapons
makes no difference. Don't let the weapon
intimidate you. Remember,
the equalizer for a weapon is
a vital area. That's what we practice
today. Practice on the vital
areas. If you can
reach the vital area so quick,
weapons has
no owner. Without owner
without attacker holding a weapon,
weapon no longer be deadly to you.
I want to thank all these people here.

Practice makes
perfect.
Practice makes perfect.
