I'm a 4th degree black belt and an instructor. My best technique in this situation is "abandon your ego". Apologize, bargain, beg or buy your way out of the situation. If that fails, run. Final option, fight.
If those options offend you then you're watching too many action movies or you're young and stupid.


This is just brilliant. It's funny to think of all the people who can break a bat on their shin, or take a KO punch and stay standing, who will never have the ability to "abandon the ego" for even one second. But what's really funny is that this is what smart people do instinctively when confronted with a situation like this, even if they always thought they would do something completely different.

"basically, if your attacker has a knife, you're fucked"

In general, I'd agree with this, with two additions:
1: if your attacker has a knife and knows how to use it, it's next to impossible to disarm them.
2: you can't disarm something you can't see. If the attacker really wants to harm you, they won't show the knife until it's in you.

I agree with this thesis. First lesson I had at Wing Chung and I got the rubber knife through to the instructor many times and I'm no good at fighting. His defences were only viable against big sweeping and leading knife attacks and well, who does that?


It is possible to disarm someone with a knife, it's just bloody difficult. After several years of training, I would still rate my chances of disarming an attacker with a knife at about 50% and that's assuming the attacker is just some punk with a knife. In all honesty, most of the time I wouldn't even try, I'd just hand over my wallet.

So what exactly happened there? straps not tight enough? I got the impression she had second thoughts when she got to the door the way the instructor kept pushing her hands away from the door edge.

Thanks so much for the quality!

It sounds to me she's teaching English speakers to speak Korean. So, she's not teaching Koreans to say "cock"... Why else is she asking what's "Yes"?
Oh, and the youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/seemile


Thank you. I made an adjustment to the title and description.

Check the video description on the youtube page. ddpyoga, ddpyoga all over the place. This is just an advertisement...not saying that this didn't really happen, but advertisements suck the life and caring out of me. Nothing like capitalism to suck the romance out of everything.>> ^CrushBug:

I said it on reddit, and I'll say it here: why the fuck do I feel like I'm being sold something?
I'm sorry for being so jaded, but I do have a decent (if not hypersensitive) bullshit detector.

It is always good to exercise caution on things like this, but I think this is safe. Short of mentioning a Yoga instructor's name, there is no other promotional text or Send money here, or captioning to visit a web site, or any of the other indicators. Seemed like an honest "Thanks and don't limit yourself" video.
I watched it, and I just felt fucking pumped. Woe be to he who puts a challenge in my way today!

I'd tag this viral, made by someone smart enough to be subtle as the internet is a cynical place. Especially here at 127.0.0.1.
