Core Self-Defense

3 basic defences agains straight punch:
- slip
- inside defence
- block
Quite good session with very good results from Diana Savina

Let me introduce to you our newiest student. ☺️🙌 Diana wanted to try something different in addition to her weight trainings in the gym, so she started to train self-defence with us. This is how she moves after only 4 lessons! We would say not bad at all! 💪☺️

Distance Control | Striking with hands and basic kicks

Next few videos are going to be from ground techniques. They are hard work techniques especially when you are 55kg female playing with 110kg male 😂😅 Ground techniques are as much important as all the other techniques. Fighting on the ground, from the self defence point of view, is not the best position to fight, however it’s good to know few tricks, when you will end up on the ground and you don’t have any other options, as to fight and run as soon as it possible. 🙏💪

Working on those inside defence drills - here we are trying to do it with simultaneous counter attack which is much harder then normal inside defence (just my opinion). Overall, I think Ewelina did here a good job. If you will look closely, you will see how her aggression (controlled aggression) is growing with the time and that’s what I wanted. 💪👍

Fighting is not that easy as everyone think. You need to think about your position towards the attacker, about other hazards around you (other attackers? etc), being able to fight in close and medium range. Being able to understand movement of the body, generating power, as well as being fast and accurate. This is more complex than just throwing your arms and fists towards the attacker 🙃 That’s why here, we train with Ewelina medium (straight punches) and close range attacks (elbows and hammer fists) as well as moving and positioning yourself in relation to the attacker. 👍💪 Good job and keep it going. ☺️

Session one to one with Ewelina. Lot of movement and lots of repetitions, until it becomes a natural/instinct move. Well done Ewelina! 👍💪

Outside Defence from the Side | Releasing a Choke from the Side

Another session with Teo, where we were working on body movement and coordination. Moving around and away, blocking (framing), striking - all are basic elements of self defence which should be train all the time. 👊 Good work Teo! 💪👍

Another great session with Ewelina. Not the easiest one, lot of elements to remember and do, but overall I am very happy with the outcome. ☺️

Choke from behind (pretty much the same as all the other types of choke) is a very dangerous type of attack, as the attacker is applying the pressure on the neck and stoping the air coming to your lungs. Also, there is a psychological effect, as most of the people starts to panic, when they are hold in the choke. Release needs to be fast as much as it possible. Training this types of defence is not only helping you to learn how to get out from this situation, but also it helps you to kind of like “get used and not panic” when this type of attack occur.
