Expert commentary by fighting instructor, Neil Neazer

Okay, this pisses me off to NO END. I go through YouTube to see the latest on self defense and what-not just to see what’s out there. I come across some stuff on EXPERT VILLAGE (no experts there really) and see some disturbing stuff and some of these CYBER MASTERS have the nerve to back up some of this bunk.

Things that are way too complicated to perform and it can not be done under pressure to save anyone’s life! The title says HOW TO DEFEND AGAINST A HAYMAKER. So these “experts” do a bullshit haymaker and a cheesy block from a distance (you know me I fight inside, so punching to kicking range is not much to be that scared of ) then the “defender” swings against the focus mitt.

Now, if you swing a focus mitt at me and I defend against it, why would I hit it? It’s not the head of the attacker. He wouldn’t throw his head at me! I understand it’s a drill or at least I hope they see it that way and not an actual combative’s defense, but still, show me how you can use it under pressure.

It’s not the 17 to 1800’s  where we took 20 paces and shot each other or whatever crap that was done in the past. We have drunk attacks, rage attacks, which to me should be practiced against the most, and all other kinds of attacks – but don’t have the guy practice on you from a calm and safe distance.

It’ll happen up close and personal and you won’t have time to see if you placed your thumb in the right place or try to gain wrist control if your life is at risk and the moment is spiraling out of control.

I am so pissed that these knuckleheads show this and worse, little knuckleheads that are 19 to 25 will see this as applicable and not start spinning off the various styles that are practical to use instead of what is being shown here.

Never once do they look at the situation and think of a basic common sense way out of the fight. I’m just letting off some steam because I’m angry and I know these twits will come back with their MMA expert advise (again like youngsters that know it all and then will challenge you in a cyber fight) saying that you don’t know spit.

I have extended 2 invitations to guys in these posts to come and play/train/spar/fight with me. No response from either.

Come up with a real scenario; show a realistic technique or idea to save yourself from this attack and INCLUDE your surroundings whether it’s a restaurant, subway, train, stairwell, bar, alleyway, street corner, car, whatever but understand what might hinder you from performing parts of the technique will be due to lack of space, smooth floors, air conditioned areas, wide open spaces.

But show why you CAN’T perform certain kicks (maybe the floors are wet, debris, no space, cramp in your leg), certain punches (you have a coat that pulls when you extend your arm, hand is too cold to use to hit, maybe the ground is too jacked up for you to throw a well balanced punch or kick for that matter) certain take-down/grappling moves (gravel, broken bottles/glass, rocks, mud, whatever).

Please if you’re going to be stupid, do it on the comfort of your own computer, in your own little file and do not share it with me. It’s a disease that tends to infect others watching the same video or reading the same article.
