Lesson Transcripts
Standing Up From The Floor
Hello everyone, I'm Orjan Pettersen. I'm an expert-level Krav Maga instructor with Spartans Academy. Hi. In this lesson, we're going to talk about standing up from the floor. There's a couple of ways of standing up from the floor. It's about facing the opponent, opponent, or standing up and running. So, let's look at the starting position that we're in having fallen backwards onto the floor. So, repetition from your falling lesson, remember the key components of fighting or moving on the floor. My head is elevated up, chin down, looking forward. Same with my hands in a fighting stance or camouflage position with my hands. They're elevated in front of me, preventing my elbows dropping onto the floor. As I've fallen, you know that I'm one on one side, keeping my spine off the floor to protect it. From a frontal position, my legs, one of them will be close to me, enabling me to move on the floor, whilst the other one, with the toes pointing upward, is protecting my groin area. So this is my starting position to stand up from. Now, there's a couple of ways of standing up. I may choose to stand up, still having to face the opponent that is in front of me. To do so, I'm leaning towards the side where my leg that is elevated, which is ready to kick, is situated, dropping my hand down and rolling towards that position, keeping the other hand in the same position. As you see, as I'm rolling over, it doesn't change, but it maintains an elevated position to protect myself against any attack. From this position, I elevate myself. My palm and my sole of my foot are the only contact points. From here, I'm pushing off with my leg, moving my other leg between my leg and my arm, pushing backwards, landing in a fighting stance position, ready to face the opponent. Let's look at the other way of standing up. Now in this case, I want to stand up and run. To do so, I'm dropping my hand down and my knee, elevating myself up slightly. Now I got this the the the the second leg ready to turn as I'm moving that leg across, ready to push off, enabling me to commence a run. Let's look at that from a more fluid movement. Both these options for standing up from the floor are are very useful. You may need to face an opponent, you may have time to run away. So practice both of them, and we'll see you in the next lesson.
Teaching Krav Maga
Welcome to today's explainer. Look, we have all been there, right? You demonstrate a technique, your student nods in complete understanding, but the exact moment pressure is applied, they completely freeze or revert to flailing. It is literally one of the most common frustrations on the mats. But today, we are transforming our approach from simply showing techniques into becoming science-based educators who build lasting survival skills. Great Krav Maga instructors don't just know the system. They understand how people actually acquire movement skills under stress. We are going to break down the exact science of attention, memory, and practice in this masterclass, so you can ensure your students are truly learning. Okay, so here is our agenda for today. We're going to cover one, the illusion of learning; two, science of cognitive load; three, the perfect demonstration; four, layering and effective feedback; five, building pressure and memory; and six, the science-informed lesson. Let's dive right in. Section 1: The Illusion of Learning: Memorizing versus Using. We absolutely have to define what true motor learning actually is, because, honestly, a student hasn't truly learned a technique just because they look competent in a cooperative drill on the mats. If they look super sharp doing a static wrist release when their partner grabs them predictably, well, that's just memorizing a shape. True motor learning is a relatively permanent change in the capability for skilled movement. Meaning, true learning only happens if they can pull off that exact same release when they're suddenly shoved against a wall unexpectedly. Our primary goal as instructors is to teach for transfer, making sure these skills actually hold up under real, dynamic stress. So, the difference between memorizing a sequence and transferring it to a real world scenario is absolutely massive. Memorizing is just cooperative repetition. But actually using Krav Maga, that requires four very distinct steps. Let's look at this through a 360-degree knife defense. First, they have to recognize the threat, like catching that weapon flash in their peripheral vision. Second, they have to retrieve the right response instantly, with zero prompting from you. Third, they apply the block and counter with solid mechanics. And fourth, they have to adapt when the attacker inevitably pulls back, or the distance changes. That's the whole shebang. Section 2: Science of Cognitive Load: Why Over-explaining Fails. To figure out how our brains actually process this stuff, we turn to Mayer's cognitive theory. Humans process visual and verbal info through dual, partly separate channels. But here is the kicker: our working memory capacity is incredibly limited. Great instructors get this, because it dictates literally everything that happens on the mats. If you demonstrate a complex choke escape in total silence, the visual channel gets totally overwhelmed, and beginners are just left guessing. But on the flip side, if you talk for five straight minutes before anyone even moves, their verbal channel completely crashes. We have to balance showing the movement with really brief, targeted explanations to maximize active processing. Section 3: The Perfect Demonstration: Showing and Explaining Together. By following a really specific five-step sequence, we can show exactly what success looks like without overloading anyone's working memory. Step one: Demonstrate at a realistic speed, so they get the end goal and the context. Step two: Break it down slowly, hitting just one or two key points. Step three: Use short, action-based cues. Seriously, instead of a long anatomy lecture, just say "hips turn" or "hands protect". Step four: Let them practice immediately. You want to capture that info before it just dumps out of their short-term memory. And step five: Give one correction at a time. Please, whatever you do, don't explain every single minute detail before they've even moved. Now, a single frontal demonstration hides a ton of essential information. Think about throwing a cross or a roundhouse kick, right? It might look super powerful from the front, but the really vital stuff - the hip rotation, the weight transfer - that's completely invisible unless you show it from the side. So, showing at least two angles, usually front and side, is absolutely mandatory for every new technique to satisfy that visual learning channel. And for certain clinch or ground techniques, tossing in a rear or opposite side view becomes just as necessary. Furthermore, science tells us there's immense value in using a second model. After your first demo, repeat the technique with a totally different training partner, ideally someone of a different height or build. If you only ever demonstrate on a partner of the exact same size, your students will literally just mimic that exact geometry. Using a second model proves that the transferable principles - things like leverage, base, and structure - work universally. It shifts the learner's brain away from blind mimicry and pushes them toward true understanding. Moving right along, Section 4: Layering and Effective Feedback: Drip-feeding Information. To drip feed information successfully, we use a layering framework. Let's use a rear naked choke defense as our example here. You start with layer one, the big picture movement, which is the pluck. Just let them drill that. Only then do you add layer two, the body mechanics of the hip escape. Then comes timing, then decision-making, and finally pressure. The golden rule: never add a new layer until the previous one is stable for most of the class. Because if you throw stance, breathing, hip rotation, targets, and aggression at a beginner, all at exactly the same time, cognitive load theory guarantees they'll retain absolutely none of it. Okay, so when it is time to make corrections, I know it's super tempting to jump in after half a second to fix someone's stance, but instead use this structured feedback loop. First, wait and observe. Watch three or four reps to find their true pattern. Then, prioritize the single highest-impact, most dangerous error, like maybe they're dropping their hands completely during a punch. Give a short cue to fix only that one thing, let them retest it immediately, and then reinforce that specific improvement before moving onto anything else. The traditional way of correcting often fails miserably on the mats. Imagine shouting at a student, "Fix your feet, turn your hips, keep your chin down, and breathe!" That is cognitive overload at its absolute finest. It's just poor feedback. Effective feedback isolates the issue calmly. "Base first. Get your feet shoulder-width apart." Prioritizing a single action-based cue gives the learner an explicit strategy that actually changes their movement on the very next repetition. It's a total game changer. Section 5: Building Pressure and Memory: Moving Skills to Long-term Memory. To create truly durable learning, we have to actively move skills from working memory into long-term memory. And we do this through proven strategies like spaced repetition, meaning we purposely revisit techniques across weeks and months. We also use retrieval practice, where we actually ask students to recall a defense before we demonstrate it again. And this is crucial: we must use interleaving instead of blocked practice. Look, drilling one wrist grab for an hour straight, it creates a completely false sense of mastery. Mixing wrist grabs with choke defenses forces the brain to actually retrieve the right file for the right attack. That is what builds durable memory. A good rule of thumb: never teach something today that you won't retrieve tomorrow. And when it comes to escalating stress, it has to be done methodically. You start with air practice to learn the basic sequence, move to cooperative drilling for distance, then light resistance, then variable scenarios, and only then high pressure. Throwing a brand new white belt into a high pressure scenario on day one, it creates a massive panic response. It causes them to flail, it locks up their cognitive processing, and frankly, it ruins the neural pathways you've just built in air practice. Gradual progression is absolutely key to developing learning that actually survives an adrenaline dump. Section 6: The Science-Informed Lesson: The Complete Blueprint. Let's synthesize all this cognitive science into a concrete seven-phase lesson structure. This respects how humans actually learn, flowing beautifully from start to finish. The real secret sauce here is the placement of these phases. Right after the warmup, we activate prior knowledge with a quick two to three minute retrieval review. We keep the new demonstration tight, under five minutes. The bulk of the class is layered practice and partner application, which ensures immediate physical repetition. Finally, we safely ramp up to a scenario drill for decision making, and we end with a cool down that forces students to mentally consolidate everything by naming the key principle out loud. It is absolutely vital that we avoid these common teaching pitfalls. Explaining too much, demonstrating from just one angle, or correcting everything at once, these all cause massive cognitive overload. But we also really need to talk about the emotional cost here. When we overload our students, they get frustrated, they feel inadequate, and eventually they just quit. Not because Krav Maga was too hard, but because our instruction failed them. Oh, and drilling one technique for a full class? It creates an illusion of mastery, but really it's just a temporary performance bump, not long-term transfer. So, before you step onto the mats, conduct a quick internal audit with this checklist. Ask yourself: can I explain this technique in three short cues or fewer? Have I planned a safe route to pressure starting low and building up? Have I mapped out future retrieval sessions so this skill doesn't just vanish by next month? If you answer no to any of these, just take a step back. Refine your lesson plan so you are teaching with genuine intention and setting your students up for actual success. Ultimately, our core rule as instructors is incredibly simple. Quality absolutely beats quantity. Teach less, but teach it better. An instructor who takes the time to teach three techniques perfectly, using layering and effective feedback, creates a much safer and far more capable student than someone who rushes through 10 techniques poorly. Show clearly, explain briefly, let them practice immediately, and revisit it over time. The next time you design a training session, I want you to ask yourself this one critical question: Are you preparing your students to recognize, retrieve, apply, and adapt under fire? Or are you just teaching them to copy a shape? Keep the science in mind, teach less, teach it better, and watch your students truly transform into practitioners with lasting survival skills. Thanks so much for joining this explainer.

How a Glock Works
How a Glock works. As the trigger is pulled, the trigger bar pulls the firing pin back. The connector guides the trigger bar downward, releasing the firing pin and allowing it to strike the bullet primer. The expanding gases from the powder charge propel the bullet out of the barrel. The recoil forces the slide back, unlocking the barrel as it tilts downward, and allows the extractor to remove the spent cartridge from the chamber. As the cartridge case is fully extracted, it comes into contact with the ejector and is forcefully ejected from the firearm. As the slide moves forward, the bottom rail of the slide strips a new cartridge from the magazine and pushes it up the ramp of the barrel and into the chamber. The cycle is now complete and the Glock is ready to fire the next round. As the slide moves back, the hook on the connector is forced inward. This allows the trigger bar to move upward. As the slide returns forward, the trigger bar is then able to retain the firing pin. Releasing the trigger allows the connector to move back into place, again enabling the downward movement of the trigger bar. The Glock contains three safeties. The first is the trigger safety. The trigger cannot be pulled back unless the safety is engaged, allowing it to move past the frame. The second is the firing pin safety. The firing pin cannot move past the safety unless the trigger bar has pushed it up, allowing the firing pin to move past this safety. The final is the drop safety. The trigger bar is held in place by the housing. The firing pin cannot move forward unless the trigger bar has moved back and cleared the ramp of this housing. The inside of the barrel contains polygonal rifling. This rifling causes the bullet to spin, providing stabilization throughout its flight and increases accuracy. Cartridges are fed into the firearm via a spring inside the magazine. When the final cartridge has been ejected, the magazine follower forces the slide lock lever up and locks the slide back when the magazine is empty.
Wrist Grabs From Front Hands Low And Hands High
Hello, everyone. I'm Örjan Pettersen. I'm an expert level Krav Maga instructor with Spartans Academy. Hello guys, I'm Gheorghe Husar, Krav Maga master with Spartans Academy. Hi. In this lesson, we're going to look at wrist grabs. That's both wrist grabs that happen while your hands are down, and when your hands are up. Wrist grabs can be uh with two hands from the the opponent or single hands. It can be across or on the same side, so we're going to look at very uh different solutions, although they have the same principle. The wrist release themselves is a very soft option. So if you want to look at a very soft op- option, then look at the release principles in isolation. We, however, are going to add to a much harder solution uh on the proviso here that the the attack is of a more aggressive nature. So we're going to introduce strikes as well into the equation. So the principles that we will work on here is a uh strike, moving out of the line, and also releasing the hand. So let's look at some different options that we have available to us based on different types of hand grips. Now, let's look at first a grip that comes from the same side. So, your opponent is here, gripping. The principle of of wrist grabs is that as you as you will look at a a grip there will always be a, either a gap or a connection point between the fingers and the thumb. This is, of course, from a a anatomical perspective, that the the position of the hand that will enable you to release your hand from. So all our grips will work against this uh this gap or this weak point uh and the thumb. So for example, just looking at the release itself, here where it's low, the thumb is on top, and my release will just be moving my hand away and out of my body shape, stopping a strike towards my own face. Let's look at that one again. Here. That's the principle again, in again uh against uh grabs that are from a a lower nature. Now, let's look at a more aggressive option to do this. My hand is free and I can use this for a strike. Conducting this strike, I will also move out of the line, so I get out of the the the the kind of forward uh point of my uh aggressor. I'm striking, and as I'm striking, I will conduct that same release. Now my hands are free and I can continue with further strikes to uh release myself. Let's look at this one in a flow motion. Now, that grip can be from across as well. The same principle, and now you can see at a more close-up uh angle where are we working against. It's the thumb and this small gap here. The principle, again, of the release to show that in isolation, is the same. This release, you will see my elbow stays fairly static, and it's an upward motion to conduct the release. Let's bring in the strike and moving out to the line at the same time. We'll look at that one again, in a flow motion. Now, let's look at a a a final situation with your hands low. Now, the same principles will apply from a release perspective, moving my lower forearm upwards out of my body frame is to conduct the release. As I do this, and to bring in more aggressive options, I will do this release and moving out, releasing my hands who are now available for strikes. Let's look at that one in a flow motion. Now, let's take this uh further upwards, and look at hand grips with your hands up. Again, let's start with same side hand grip. The principle, again, applies. The weaker thumb is now further upwards, and to release this, instead of conducting a move upward, a move upward upwards, I simply drop my hand. So, from the elbow staying still, I will drop this to release. Now, let's bring in some a more aggressive uh motions. Here, I'll conduct my strike, release, and continue with further strikes if I want to be more aggressive. Let's look at this one again from a flow motion. Let's look at the same with a diagonal grip. Again, moving out to the line with the strike, I can release. From a flow motion, And finally, let's look at grips where your both hands are taken at a high level. The principle again applies. I'm just dropping both my hands in the same motion. Let's look at that again. Following that up with more aggressive strikes, I'm dropping this as I'm moving out of line and I can conduct my strikes. So, hand grips can be aggressive in the sense that they're being preceded with further attacks. So you obviously want to release your hand as as soon as possible. Uh In in criminal law, it is a type of assault, so you have a right to defend yourself. Your choice, of course, will be how aggressive do you need to be in that situation. So practice this. You can do this by yourself, and you can do this with your training partner. So keep practicing, and we'll see you in the next lesson.
Knife Threat To The Neck From The Front Blade Same Side
Hello, everyone. I'm Örjan Pettersen, I'm an expert level Krav Maga instructor with Spartans Academy. Hello, guys, I'm Gheorghe Husar, Krav Maga Master with Spartans Academy. Hi, in today's lesson, we're going to look at knife threats from the front, where the knife hand is on the same side on the on your neck. So we're going to show this, first, in a in a flow motion, and then we'll break down all the details of it. So, as you can see, the knife is on the same side as my opponent's hand on the side. So, shh shh Let's look at the finer details of what we did here. As you can see, the knife threat comes from a very close range, and the person, at this point, is not conducting any action apart from threatening you. My hands will come up in a in a controlled motion, so not to get a reaction from from your partner. And I'm keeping this very close to my opponent's hand. To get the knife away from me, I will conduct a strike with my far hand, bringing the knife far away from me with like a straight punch and a C grip across the hand. Let's look at this one again. That strike will be accompanied by a similar straight punch with my near hand, which you will see will collect in my the crook of my arms, the knife hand as I'm landing with the foot matching the side of the knife. Shh Also accompanied with this, you will see as I'm landing, my elbow will go above the knife hand so to control it on my landing. Shh This will enable me, as I got a grip on the knife, to strike against my opponent's neck with forearm strikes, horizontally or vertically depending on the position of my opponent's neck. Let's look at this again from a flow motion. Shh shh This again is a type of attack that you can practice yourself, again, in a dry drill, or even better, with a partner. Now, as we all know, with knife threats, there's a decision to be made, whether you take action, or whether you comply with the demands of the person. That's a decision we all have to make, depending on the scenario. Obviously here, we're learning how to deal with it in a very aggressive way if we have to. So keep practicing this, and we'll see you in the next lesson.
Camouflage Stance and Moving in Camouflage Stance
Hello guys, I'm Gheorghe Husar, Krav Maga master with Spartans Academy. Hello guys, on this session we are talking about a camouflage stance. So, camouflage stance is part of your pre-fight. You want to cause no intention to fight, no threat towards your opponent. Also, you want to make sure that everyone who is watching the, the incident will see actually you are the victim there. So talking about camouflage stance, my hands are in front of my body with the fingers pointing up, one palm in the front, one on the back, elbows coming to the center. So if you look from this angle, you'll see that palms are not close to me, are quite far away from me. Also, I can control the distance having the palms far away from me. So, what I want to achieve with this, I want to send a message to my opponent, and the message is, I don't want to fight, I'm not a threat, and also if you want to strike me, there is no straight punches going to my face. So I'm kind of encouraging my opponent to come with a circular attacks through my body language. Now, obviously because we want to avoid the fight, that's what is all about self defense, avoid a fight, I want to move away from my opponent in order to keep the distance, at least, or increase it. Now when I'm moving, I will never move on a straight line backwards because it's not natural, I move left, right, right, left, on proactive manner. So when I'm moving sideway, if I'm moving to my right, I'm pushing on the left leg, with a small steps. If I'm moving towards my left, I'm pushing on my right leg, moving towards the left. So, let's have a look. I start to move away from my opponent in order to increase the distance, or to keep the same distance. Which is very, very important to avoid a fight. Now, a second camouflage stance, and we talk about facing an attacker with a weapon, and I'm talking about knife or any blade, screwdriver, anything that can slash or stab you. So this is a, a modified one because I want to protect my heart, I want to protect my main arteries. So for that I'm bringing forearms on the front of my body, palms together, so also protect my, my tendons and my veins, protecting your liver and your spleen. Legs close. Shoulders up, head sink between your shoulders. And I'm moving the same way, moving left, moving right, so I'm becoming a target in the motion, which always a target in, in a move it's a hard target. So, is very, very simple. Practice this home. Practice to make it better. I will see you on the next session.
Groin Strikes
Hey, everybody. Today, it's all about groin strikes. It's probably one of the most misunderstood targets that's out there. It's a bit of punchline for many years. You've seen, you know, funny antics in the movies, America's Funniest Videos, you know, dad gets the wiffle ball bat in the crotch, he goes down, everybody laughs. Um, and you've heard people say things like, "Well, I kicked him in the in the nuts and nothing happened." I've heard I've heard that a couple of times. So today, my attempt is to show you what real strikes to the groin do, what the physiological effects are, and then just some of the parameters of how to properly train them, because I think there's just a lot of misunderstanding. Um, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to show a couple videos from sports, and the reason I use sports is because sports the injuries that happen with sports are humans colliding with humans, humans colliding with the planet. Those are forces that you and I can replicate. So, I'm going to look at a soccer injury that happened. I'm going to look at a couple of MMA fouls that happened. And then, I'm going to look at a training methodology of what's important when you're striking the groin to give you a better understanding of this one, you know, it's probably one of the top three targets people talk about when it comes to self-defense, and I'm just going to kind of take all the mystery out of it. Show you what works, what doesn't work. So, and before we get into it, please subscribe, hit notification button. Please share this with everybody. Thanks so much for the help you've been doing, because of course, Google doesn't really give us much help, and you guys have been sharing all this information left and right, so I really appreciate it. All right, first up, let's take a look at a soccer I'm going to say it's an accident, but it looks pretty deliberate to me. It's a shin kick from behind, and really, what I want you to do is just watch the reaction, just watch how quickly the individual goes down. Um, so here we go. Right from behind. You'll see it from another angle now. Boom. Look, the hands go down, in, and he drops. That's your classic response to a groin injury. So again, you know, it drops people. When done correctly, it drops people very quickly. So now, let's take it into a MMA contest in China. This fight is over in 9 seconds. The first strike that lands is a strike to the groin. What I want you to pay attention to is the fighter that gets struck to the groin. Just just look what happens to him. Look how he can't control himself at that point, you know. The injury itself has taken over, and how quickly everybody, you know, shuts things down. So again, it's in Chinese. You're not going to really be able to understand what they're saying, but I'll walk you through anything that's important. There you go, squaring off. Do you hear that? Okay, I'm going to pause it here just for a second. Now, I just did a video a while back called Martial Arts Parlor Parlor Tricks, where I was showing a a group that was training themselves to get kicked in the groin, okay, and tried to get hard. Now, I told you the parameters of that, why it's a parlor trick, the fact that, you know, you can't you can't train your body under dynamic circumstances like an MMA match that we're talking about or like you out in the street. Uh, when you're there, that kick was a very hard kick. You're seeing this guy go down, and he's a big dude, and his body still reacted very violently to it. And then I want you to watch the after-effects here. He's just, I mean, look at him. He just he can't even operate. Even if he wanted to get back up, he couldn't. He's literally trying to pull his shorts above, you know, to release some pressure just in the groin down there. All right. And just, again, look at look at the agony on this guy's face. Yeah, it's just It's just absolutely brutal. So, okay, so what what do we need to, you know, pay attention to this? You just saw that really, what happens is when you get struck to the groin, there's there's two things. Yes, it's genitalia on men, but the strike to the groin is universal as far as the reaction. Um, if you see a male skateboarder going down a rail, you know, sliding down a rail, he misses, and then his um, you know, his his uh, you know, crotch drops onto the the rail, he is going to react the same way that a female gymnast, when she is doing, say, a backflip on a on a balance beam, and she misses, and then she goes in between, and her crotch strikes the balance beam, they both react the same way. Why? Because you're hitting the pelvic floor, basically. You're just putting an impact on the pelvic floor. It's causing a real big reaction. And then, the goal is, you know, your ability your abdominal your your abdominal integrity, your ability to bear down, to keep your feet, is severely hampered, okay? So now, we're going to go into two US competitions, where both guys were taken down. Sometimes, the kick doesn't look immediately like it was a powerful kick, but then when you see the replay, you can see why the guy went down. Now, these two guys both exhibit some of the really harsh effects of being struck, and we'll talk more about that after I go over both of these videos. But let's watch both of these guys. And again, you know, realize it's a competition. These guys don't want to quit. Nobody wants to quit. But just look at this and just realize that neither one of these guys, no matter what they wanted to do, they had to sit here and respond to the trauma. Okay, so here's this one. Big kick by Gonzaga. Teixeira caught it. Teixeira Oh, yeah, he called it. Low. Low. The guy loses it. Okay. That didn't look that bad, right? Oh, man. You didn't even have to see the It's a little bit of a delayed response. And you're going, "Well, Tim, I thought he was supposed to drop right away." Every strike we've seen so far, really badly. Oh, listen. He's he's coughing. And he he might have a serious injury here, Mike. He's throwing up. He's throwing up. Okay. Yes, that's a physiological response to being struck. Now, the delayed reaction, why is it why is it delayed on on these guys? Even the soccer player, it was a bit of a delayed reaction. And you're going, "Tim, you're telling me it was going to be immediate when he came down." What are all these guys wearing? They're wearing protective gear. They're wearing a cup. So, this is just blunt trauma to the area. This isn't direct striking of the testicles on top of everything else, because again, I told you we're going after the abdominal wall, but also in the males, you can also crush testicles. So, it's a it's almost like a bonus. It's the one that most people focus on is crushing of the testicles, but again, as I told you, male or female, you're going to get the same type of response because that's that's just a physiological response to being struck to that area. I don't think there's any woman out there that would volunteer for a full-force cook into the full-force kick into the pelvis. All right, so now let's see the next one. Here we go. Go to round two. Good leg kick by Oop, that went low. And there he goes, to the knees. Again, he can't keep his feet because of the the the pelvic floor being struck. Right to the olive branch. How long it takes for him And this guy, you're going to hear him coughing and retching. Oh man, he's hurting. He's hurting bad. This This might be the end of the fight. He's writhing in pain. I I mean, this isn't Let's take a look at the replay again. Again, there's there's He's not going to be able to compete. There's the kick. Right to the jewels. Uh but that's not helping Secor right now. And again, just blunt trauma to that area is more than enough to put the guy down and end the competition. The athletic commission is looking at him right now. There's that. All right. So, you know, we sit there and we say, um, you know, I gave you three examples from the sports, and and then the one thing I want you to notice is every one of those strikes that came through, even the shin kick from behind with the soccer player, they really didn't deploy the body weight all the way through, meaning keep going forward through the strike, which is really how you want to train. If you want to do this on the street, you want to strike the groin in such a way that all your body weight transfers through there, because you want this guy to catch everything. So, we were having a seminar a while back, and some of our clients are just having a hard time understanding body weight deployment to go through. So, two of the instructors just did a demo. Now, let me emphasize this is a demo. Yes, the other instructor is just standing there, allowing the guy to come in and put a knee. What the instructor is trying to show is, okay, look at how much area I cover when I come crashing through this groin. Had he done something to injure the guy, to where maybe he hit him in the eyes or something, he was going back like this and and then the other instructor would cover the distance, and second injury would be the groin at this point, okay? So, I just want to be very clear about the setup here, because we do not believe that this set up right here, that somebody's just going to stand there and allow you to do this, okay? Demo. But what I want you to pay attention to is watch the instructor as he does the strike and how much distance he covers all the way through the target. And he even pulled back a little bit. Okay. And what he's doing now is he's facing everybody and saying, "Look how much distance was covered here," you know. I started the strike at this point and I ended up here, you know, saying, you know, "That's where he was standing. I did the strike all the way through this area. That's where he ended up." And that is a true deployment of body weight into the groin area. Now, you notice some of the guys were retching and throwing up. What's What's interesting is some of the physiological effects of it. We talked about the loss of abdominal pressure, the ability to not keep, you know, bear down and and and keep yourself standing up. That is, uh you know, one effect of a groin strike. We also talked about crushed testicles. We understand that. Striking the groin multiple times will cause the person to throw up. You notice some of these guys retching and they're going in there and they're and they threw up a little bit. If you do it twice in a row, you will guarantee that the person throws up. So, it's just another physiological response. It's funny, in all the years of watching media, I've only seen one movie that depicted that correctly. I can't remember what the movie was, but I remember I saw the guy do two strikes and the guy went to his knees and started throwing up, and I'm going, "Man, I wonder who consulted on this, because that's absolutely what happens." So listen, the reason I wanted to share this with you is because, again, you have to do the work on any of these. I know my training is called Target Focus Training. I know I talk about injury to the human body, but these are not magic points on the body. You have to do real work. Every one of the strikes that you saw prior to uh prior to the demo, every one of those individuals had protective gear on, okay? Some of the most horrific injuries that I've seen in sports have come through cleats going up under a cup and absolutely tearing apart the testicles. Again, this is YouTube. I can't share super graphic stuff with you guys. But again, if uh if you have an interest in seeing more, you know, deliberate training and stuff like that, please go to the link down uh down here to surviveviolence.com and start getting some real information from us. Again, we can be a lot more deliberate in what we show, and we don't have to censor ourselves as much. Um, but this is just one area of the human body. Again, it's one that's talked about often times, but it's also miscategorized a lot. So, I hope this helped clarify, um, some of the ideas, especially if you put this together with the martial arts parlor trick video that I did, you can kind of contrast the two and see it'd be absolutely ridiculous for you to sit here and try to condition parts of your body that are, you know, essentially targets. You know, it's it's just it's just a waste of your time. What you want to do is learn how to correctly put injury on people and make sure that you're doing it to them, and they're not doing it to you. Anyways, all the best. Thanks for your comments. Look forward to hearing from you and any questions or comments that you have on this particular video.
TIP 1: STRIKING SPEED AND CONNECTION
Golden rule when you strike. If your limb travel 100 mph towards the target, on the way back, it's double the speed. And make sure the connection between the target, between the striking limb and the target happen in a millisecond. You don't stay there. That makes sense to you?
FROM VERBAL TO WEAPON
Do you think this guy overreacted to someone sitting on his car? Leave your thoughts in the comments below. Sometimes your ego defense leads to a lack of emotional control in a fight. This violent encounter teaches us the value of emotional control when arguments escalate into fights. This situation escalates to violence through a range of multiple contacts and gestures towards violence. From a psychological perspective, there's a lot of aggressive posturing. And it's important to recognize these. If you can recognize these in your everyday life, you can avoid conflicts that lead to deadly force. Keep watching the video, and I'll highlight what to look out for to avoid escalation to deadly force. So, keep watching. What would you do if you returned to find someone leaning against your car? This guy in the white vest had his family, so he did what most of us would do. He tapped the guy, asked him to get off his car. The guy leaning on his car's on the phone, so he hesitates a little bit. In fact, he puts his hands up, makes a little gesture, but in the process of that, there's a miscommunication here. And then he tries to lead him off his car. Now, does this escalate the conflict? Many of you would say touching the guy's arm and asking him to get off your car, or trying to lead him off your car is a step too far, this physical contact. For many people it would be crossing the line. But either way, the guy on the phone overreacts by trying to get his hand free, by swinging it free. To me, that's an act of ego, and it is an act of dominance as well. But instead, he puts the phone down, and he goes after the attacker. He follows him around. And in one final insult, he kicks his shopping across the road. Kicking the package is an act of aggression. From a psychological and emotional perspective, there's a lot going on here. The guy escalates to a weapon because he's angry, and I've said this before, if someone is angry, or they want to inflict harm, or they don't feel that they'll win a fight, they'll escalate to a weapon. Now what's critical here is, once the guy pulled the knife, you'll see that he holds it up and he shakes it first. So he shows his victim the knife as he's running around to attack him. That's significant because that shows an element of rage. It shows an element of anger. So what are the takeaways? What are the lessons to be learned from this? In your own self-defense, it's important to be aware of the escalation markers. If you're having a verbal conflict with someone, and you're noticing a change in behaviors, actions, touches, grabs, pushes, and it's slowly escalating, it's important to take note of this. And it's easily done. Most of the time when you're in the middle of an argument, you get distracted by the argument. Lots of things can change and happen around you and suck you literally into a fight that you, frankly, weren't intending. Sometimes people gesture subconsciously. They don't consciously plan to do it, but these signals can be taken as threat. For example, the guy on the phone, when he pulls his arm free, he steps off the car, then he lifts his hands as if to gesture to slap or strike the other guy. That clearly is a threat signal. It's an escalation. Whether he intended to do it or whether it was subconscious or not, it could be interpreted as only one way. Now more often than not, these micro signals, a body language cues that people pick up as threat, and they respond accordingly and escalate in their response. For the guy in the black takes it a stage further, pushes the other guy away. Not subtly, but quite violently. Most of the time people push to make space to defend their personal space. But in this case, it looked like he was lashing out. Pushing the guy because he was angry, and not necessarily because he was trying to establish personal space to defend himself. Pushing the guy was unnecessary. But that wasn't what instigated the attack. What instigated the attack was the build-up. There are many issues to this. Ego defense is one of them. The public arena itself casts a different light on an event. We have to manage our impressions in public, especially in front of our friends and family. So developing what I call psychological fitness is important. Having a good sound mind is just as important as a good sound body. Ego defense is a very simple psychological term. It's something that everybody has, and we do it on a normal everyday basis. Except, in street fights, it becomes more extreme. In a confrontation with a stranger, for some people, ego defense becomes much more of a process towards fighting. They defend their ego physically. So, always avoid arguing with strangers, because you really don't know their capability, or what they're willing to do. Thanks for watching.
Stop the Bleed Tourniquet Training
Hi, I'm Gina Solomon. I am the trauma program manager here at Gwinnett Medical Center. Uncontrolled life-threatening hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of preventable death after traumatic injury. Gwinnett Medical Center is partnering with the national Stop the Bleed campaign to provide training to bystanders on how to control this life-threatening hemorrhage. Everyone should know how to identify life-threatening bleeding and know how to take the appropriate steps to control the bleeding until help arrives. There are a couple of primary principles to controlling life-threatening hemorrhage. First off is to ensure your own safety. It's very important that you make sure you are safe before you render aid to anyone else. The second principle is what we call the ABCs of bleeding control. A, alert, you want to call 911. B, bleeding, be able to identify the life-threatening bleeding. And C, compress. And there's three ways that you can compress the bleeding and we're going to go into detail about each one of those. The first principle of the ABC is A, alert. Call 911. It is really important that you get the pre-hospital providers in route to take over care while you render aid. B is bleeding. Being able to identify what is life-threatening bleeding. If you see bleeding spurting from a wound, pouring from a wound, clothes that are soaked in blood, you have bandages that are soaked in blood, if the person is missing all or part of a limb, an arm or a leg, or the person is becoming dizzy or unconscious, those are all signs of life-threatening bleeding. Wounds that can lead to death from bleeding are often located in the arms and legs, torso junctional, which is the armpits, the groin, or the neck, or the chest and the abdomen or internal bleeding. Unfortunately, with internal bleeding, bystanders cannot really impact those injuries and they need quick access to a trauma center. And then C, compress. There are three ways to compress. First is just holding pressure. It is really important that if you have access to gloves, you want to put those on before you render any care. If you can protect yourself from blood-borne pathogens, this is an important safety step. So you want to put your gloves on, and then if you have access to gauze, that is great, but if you do not, any clean cloth will work. If you have a clean towel, a t-shirt, whatever you may have handy will work just as well. You want to take the gauze or the clean cloth, and and fold it and place it directly over the wound. You want to put the heel of one hand on the cloth, the heel of your other hand on top of your first hand, and lean in and put as much pressure on the wound as you can. You want to stay this way until help arrives. Do not peek. You don't want to look. You just want to hold pressure until the pre-hospital personnel can arrive and take over care. The second principle of compress is tourniquets. Tourniquets are used when you have life-threatening bleeding to an arm or a leg. If you have access to a bleeding control kit, they will have tourniquets in them. This is a what's known as a CAT tourniquet and is the most common tourniquet that's placed in those kits. It is a Velcro band, so you just want to unfold the band, and take the circle and place it on the limb over the site of the bleeding. It's really important that you go above the wound and you also want to go above a knee or an elbow. It is okay to put it on top of clothing, just make sure there's nothing bulky in a pocket like keys or such that would impact the tension that we're going to place on the tourniquet. You want to take the Velcro strap and tighten it down on the limb. It just has to be snug. You are then going to notice there is a rod that is attached to the tourniquet. Once you have the Velcro strap snug on the limb, you want to turn the rod as tight as you can. You're going to twist until you cannot twist any more and it is very tight. Once you can no longer tighten the rod, you're going to place it in the C-clip to hold the rod in place. You then can take what's left of the strap and place it on top of the rod through the strap. Many of the tourniquets will have another Velcro strap that you can place over the C-clamp. Tourniquets are very painful and it's okay to tell the injured person that this is going to hurt. You do not want to loosen it. You want to leave it as is until the pre-hospital providers take over care. They can give the person pain medicine to help with the pain, but it is normal for them to feel significant pain after the tourniquet has been placed. The third principle to compress is wound packing. Again, if you have access to gauze, that is great, but if you do not, any clean cloth, t-shirt can be used as well. What we're going to do here is actually insert the gauze or the clean cloth into the wound to stop bleeding. So you want to take the end of the gauze or cloth and actually pack the wound. You want to use your fingers to place the gauze tightly and as deeply into the wound as you possibly can. And you're going to continue to pack until you cannot get any more gauze or cloth into the wound. Once you have packed it as tightly as you can, you then want to compress with pressure. So you want to put what's left of your gauze or t-shirt on top of the wound, apply the heel of your hand, the heel of your other hand on top of that, and lean and apply direct pressure. Again, you do not want to let off of the pressure until the pre-hospital personnel arrive to take over care. Bystanders can make a huge impact with life-threatening bleeding until first responders can arrive. The only thing more tragic than a death is a death that can be prevented. Thank you.
Surviving A Circular Stick / Impact Weapon Attack from The Front
Hello, everyone. I'm Örjan Pettersen. I'm an expert-level Krav Maga instructor with Spartans Academy. Hello guys, I'm Gheorghe Husar, Krav Maga master with Spartans Academy. Hi. In today's lesson, we're gonna look at impact weapon attacks. Impact weap- impact weapon can be things such as a baseball bat, an iron bar or a long stick. Now, these types of attack can come from different directions. However, the solution that we will show you is applicable to any type of attack, whether that's coming from above, the side, or below. Let's just show some of how these attacks could be. There could be a strike from above. I could connect more to the side, low, or indeed, swinging from below upwards. As you will appreciate, the trajectory and the direction of the weapon is not really apparent until it's far on the way towards you. Making decisions at this point on different defenses is very, very challenging. Hence, a singular solution will take away the problem of decision-making and just help you to do the right survival defense, having just one option available. Let's look at what that is. We'll do that in one continuous flow, then we'll break down the individual components, and take it from there. Now, let's break down the different things you saw in this video. The first thing is my uh, my opponent has now got onto the reach where they can get very close to me. I may have been moving away from them at this point. I'm keeping my limbs very close, yeah, so they're not reachable, and so forth. Added to that, I turn slightly sideways, now presenting from a visual perspective for my opponent, a softer target with the muscles running around my back, the outside of my glutes, and the back of my legs, which is a different target in terms of impact rather than my head or the harder elbow and outside of my knee in terms of striking points. My camouflage behavior here, you see leaning slightly forward, presenting that is my starting position. I'm now looking for a commitment from my opponent, whether they're stepping, conducting the strike. That will be my trigger to engage. As with impact weapons, there's only two safe places to be. That's either far away from the weapon, or indeed on the inside of the striking range. The most challenging and exposed place to be, of course, is at the outer radius of that weapon swimming to- swinging towards you. So my priority at this point is to get on the inside of that swing radius. How do I do this? When that happens, I'm stepping with my near foot, getting very close. Let's look at that step again. As I see the weapon moving, near foot moving. As seen here, I'm leaning forward, taking away the uh uh the- some of my upper body as a target, getting closer inside that radius, and as I'm getting very close, I'm landing with my far leg as I'm wrapping around my opponent, controlling the arm, with my head low here, as I'm reaching. This should be also an impact with my shoulder, moving into it, very similar to a rugby top- tackle. Let's just bring all of those components together again. From this position, I will proceed with the groin strike towards the person. If that impact is good, I may continue with a second one. And from this point, I'm turning sideways, hands between our heads, if the head is indeed sufficiently low for me to reach. Grabbing below the nose with my thumb, finger in the eye, I can support that motion with a strike with my back leg towards the with a circular knee to bring that person down. Now, let's work through that in a continuous flow. Impact weapons are a very common source of attacks, and they can come for all different types of- of variety. They're wood, they can be metal, and so forth. They are dangerous weapons, and they're an important skill to practice. You can practice this again together with your partner, or indeed you can do this in dry drills. So, keep practicing hard, learn this essential skill, and we will see you in the next lesson.
Errors while teaching
Welcome to this explainer, designed specifically for Krav Maga instructors, assistant instructors and coaches. Today we're taking coaching science and translating it into practical time on the mats, to help you teach both clearly and safely. We're going to break down 16 common instructional errors and show you exactly how to avoid them, using principles from motor learning, cognitive psychology and coaching science. Keep in mind a lot of this research actually comes from outside Krav Maga, so we're looking at informed coaching recommendations to elevate your teaching, rather than guaranteed methods for every single self-defense situation. Right, let's dive into this. We'll be exploring these 16 common errors by following the chronological journey of a skill. We'll start with goals, safety and boundaries, then move through demonstration, structuring practice, delivering smart feedback, and, finally, pulling it all together into a complete 60-minute lesson. Think about this core philosophy for a second. Students don't always struggle just because they lack effort, confidence, or athletic ability. Very often, the real difficulty lies in how a skill is demonstrated, practiced, or corrected by us. Good instruction gives students just enough information to begin, enough practice to improve, and enough challenge to adapt, all without sacrificing safety or overwhelming them. Okay, let's start with Section 1: Goals, safety, and boundaries. We'll look at the critical errors made before practice even begins. The first major error we see is starting a class without a clear learning goal. Telling your class, "Today we're doing grabs," simply isn't a goal. Instead, you want to set an observable goal, like responding to a cooperative wrist grab, creating space, and moving to an exit. The next error is failing to set clear roles, boundaries, and stop signals before a drill even begins. And finally, we absolutely must avoid creating a fear-based or ego-driven climate. Using public humiliation or treating pain as some sort of proof of commitment does not build better students. You should absolutely challenge them, but they need to know they can make mistakes and stop a drill safely. Which brings us to a crucial point on safety, particularly when it comes to neck-related training. Neck compression can cause serious harm, sometimes without any obvious external injury. Because of this, neck-related attacks, like choke defenses, must only ever be simulated, without applying any actual pressure to the neck. You've got to explain the drill clearly, obtain consent, and treat every single stop signal as absolute and final. If unintended neck compression does occur, training has to stop immediately, so the student can seek medical advice. Remember, safety isn't just an add-on to your instruction. It is woven into the very fabric of it. Demonstration and clear explanation. Once your environment is safe, how do you actually introduce the technique? A massive error at this stage is explaining a skill without demonstrating it first. Research on observational motor learning shows us that clear demonstrations actively support skill acquisition, improve recall, and even reduce anxiety. But we have to balance this with cognitive load. A student's working memory is strictly limited, so another really common mistake is giving way too many instructions at once. If you hit a student with a massive list of verbal corrections while they're trying to learn a new physical skill, you're just going to overwhelm their working memory. So, how do we introduce these skills effectively? First, demonstrate the complete movement from at least two angles. For example, show a pad strike from the front to highlight the target, and then from the side to show the weight transfer. Next, avoid the error of demonstrating without explaining the purpose. Tell them the goal of a wrist release is to create an opportunity to move away, not just to make a specific shape with their hand. And then, stick to just one or two concise cues, like "find your balance," so you keep that cognitive load manageable. This leads us directly to the error of overusing body-part instructions, instead of outcome-focused cues. As instructors, we love to say things like, "turn your hip," "bend your knee," but research on attentional focus actually finds real benefits in directing attention towards the movement's effect, what we call an external focus. So, rather than the body-focused cue, "step your foot to the side," try the outcome-focused alternative: "Move into the open space." Ask yourself what the student actually needs to achieve, choose a cue, and just observe if it helps them. Let's look at Section 3: Structuring effective skill practice. The skill is introduced, so how do we organize practice to build genuine capability? When you're structuring practice, a key error to avoid is introducing too much new material at once. Pick a clear priority and allow actual time for meaningful repetitions. We also can't neglect the less-practiced side. Bilateral training is absolutely essential in Krav Maga. Finally, watch out for the trap of teaching every single student in exactly the same way. You have to differentiate your instruction. A nervous beginner might need a much slower, cooperative partner, whereas an advanced student might need a controlled decision added to their drill. Keep the core principle consistent, but adjust the task to fit the learner in front of you. And that ties right into the error of making a task too difficult, too soon. Students process pressure differently. Research on arousal and performance highlights an inverted-U relationship. Basically, moderate stress can support performance, but excessive stress or task load severely impairs learning and execution. You should only increase the challenge, whether that's speed, resistance, or complexity, as quickly as your students can maintain their safety, control, and understanding of the drill. On the flip side of that, a major error is practicing only under ideal conditions. To build real capability, you have to introduce practice variability. So, rather than practicing a choke defense strictly from a static, perfectly predictable position every time, use gradual variation. Start with individual movement, move to a cooperative partner drill, then bring in controlled movement. From there, you can add limited variation, like simply changing the starting distance, before finally moving to a supervised scenario. Just change one variable at a time, so your students can actually recognize and adapt to the different conditions. Smart feedback and coaching climate. When students are practicing, our job shifts to observing and giving feedback. A very common mistake here is giving feedback without good timing or context. Now, obviously, you must step in immediately if a safety boundary is crossed or if contact levels are too high. But for non-urgent feedback, timing is everything. Let the student finish their attempt first, and then make sure your feedback is specific and actionable. Also, make sure you don't ignore persistent problems that stop the drill from working. You don't need to chase perfect form on every single rep, but if a student is repeatedly losing their balance and creating a fall risk, you have to intervene. Which leads us perfectly into the error of correcting every single repetition. Constant verbal correction just interrupts practice, and stops students from noticing the results of their own movements. Instead, try using a learner-controlled feedback loop. Set a clear task, observe a few attempts safely, and then just ask the student what they noticed. Offer one relevant correction, let them try it again, and reassess. Give them the independence to actually feel the movement for themselves. Finally, Section 5: Building a complete lesson. Let's look at how to pull all these principles together into a structured, evidence-informed class. A really successful first lesson doesn't actually guarantee retention, which highlights our final error: Failing to revisit skills. If you teach clinch escapes once, and then never touch them again, that skill is going to decline rapidly. Research points to spaced practice and retrieval practice as highly reliable strategies for long-term retention. So, ask your students to demonstrate the action with minimal prompting in the very next class. In the weeks that follow, introduce an appropriate variation. Basically, if a skill matters, you must plan exactly when your students will practice it again. Take a look at how these principles map out onto a standard 60-minute beginner class for a cooperative wrist grab simulation. We kick off with a strict 5-minute safety briefing, setting out the roles and stop signals. We then move into a clear demonstration, followed by a solid 20-minute block of cooperative practice to establish the action on both sides. From there, we progress safely into 20 minutes of controlled variation, maybe just changing a single variable, like the starting distance, before finally reviewing the session and planning for future retrieval practice. Ultimately, the core principle to take away from this explainer is this: Good Krav Maga instruction is not about giving your students the most information, putting them through the hardest drill, or giving them the absolute most corrections. It's about providing a clear goal, useful practice, appropriate and timely feedback, and a safe level of challenge. It's about showing clearly, explaining the purpose, practicing deliberately, and progressing safely. So, as you head back to the mats, I encourage you to evaluate your own classes with this framework in mind. Take a close look at your next session, and ask yourself the ultimate coaching question: Are your students merely surviving your drills in the moment, or have you structured your instruction in a way that means they're actually retaining these life-saving skills for next month? The difference between those two outcomes is entirely up to you.
Tips 2: T-shirt grab from behind, turn and strike
Krav Maga stance, hands goes up. So, every single time in my head is shoulder squeeze my ear to protect my temple area, and my neck and ear, the hard line, right? This palm is a shield. I'm turning to see. Now I can see the target clear and I keep the palm between the target and my face. I'm turning.
How to Improvise Life Saving Pieces of Medical Equipment
How's it going, guys? My name is Sam, and welcome back to PrepMedic. As you can see, I am not in my usual surroundings. I'm actually traveling for the channel working on a project with a company. But until that video releases, I figured I'd take this time to show you guys how to improvise a couple life-saving pieces of medical equipment. So, on this channel in the past, we've talked about a couple pieces of medical equipment a lot, and those are tourniquets, chest seals, packing gauze, and splints. And today on the channel, I want to show you guys how to improvise this. If you don't have a commercial device out there, these are some techniques you can use to accomplish the same objective. I would like to point out that this should never be your plan A. Anybody that carries a strip of cloth in their first aid kit and a little stick saying, "Well, I'm just going to do a makeshift tourniquet," I would not recommend that at all. In the Boston bombing, there were a lot of makeshift tourniquets applied, and what they found is that a vast majority of them were ineffective. Now, you might be thinking, well, what's the problem with a tourniquet that's not 100% effective? And I'll tell you. So, if you have a tourniquet that is not completely tight, is not occluding blood flow 100%, all you're actually doing is occluding the vascular return in the leg, not the arterial discharge. So, you will still have bleeding from the artery, but now you've stopped any vascular return into the body so they're not getting any of that blood back, and you can actually speed up blood loss. So, it's really important that if you use this technique, you do it right. You know, the same thing goes for chest seals. Chest seals are actually pretty easy to make, but they take a lot of time. So, all of these things I'm showing you, you should practice. You should make sure you're proficient in them if you foresee a situation where you might have to do it. You know, having this knowledge is something that's good, but you have to understand that there are limitations to it, and plan A should always be a commercial device because, quite frankly, they're more effective and they're quicker to apply. So, let's start with tourniquets. So, to make a makeshift tourniquet, you just need three things. And right here, I have a cravat, which is a triangular bandage. It doesn't have to be this. It can be any kind of fabric. And you're going to need two strips. So, this is just a cut up t-shirt that I'm going to be using. And then you need something to act as a windlass. So, I'm going to be using my XShears for this. However, this can be anything. This can be a stick. It can be a piece of silverware, what have you. It just needs to be something that can have a lot of force exerted on it and not break. So, to make a makeshift tourniquet, the first thing you're going to do is you're going to take your main, most sturdy piece of cloth, and you're going to make sure it's pretty wide. You want this cloth kind of as wide as you can get it and put it over the arm or the leg that's bleeding. So, you want it above the injury. So, they're saying 2 to 3 inches above the injury site, just not over a joint. You're going to wrap it around the leg, and you're going to tie just an over-under knot right across the leg. We're going to do it on the leg for this scenario. Then you're going to put your makeshift windlass inside that. You're going to tie another knot on top of that, and potentially a second one, depending on how well that fabric is holding. Then you're going to take your makeshift windlass, and you're just going to start turning it. It's the same concept as a SOF Tactical Tourniquet Wide or another windlass tourniquet that you can buy commercially. You're going to turn that until blood flow stops. At that point, you need to hold that windlass right there. You're going to take the second piece of cloth and put it across and feed it through that windlass, and what that's doing is that's keeping it from turning back and loosening all the way. Once you have that secure, make sure that all the blood flow is stopped. If it hasn't stopped completely, try tightening the windlass one or two more turns. If that's not working, prepare to put a second tourniquet on there. Now, ideally, I wouldn't even go for this technique. I would actually try to do wound packing first, if you can. That's because it's going to be a little bit more effective, and it's a lot quicker. It takes time to set up a makeshift tourniquet. You know, if you don't have a cravat right here, it's going to take time to get a t-shirt ready to do it. You can do it with a whole t-shirt, you can cut strips, but just be aware that those are all seconds wasted. So, try to pack the wound first. And that brings me to the second thing we're going to talk about for improvising. And this is the one thing that, honestly, you can improvise and it doesn't bother me at all. It's not going to take you a whole lot more time. You can pack a wound with basically any kind of fabric. You know, you don't have to worry about it being sterile or anything like that. I get a lot of comments about like, "Oh, why aren't your gloves sterile on the ambulance?" That's because nothing is sterile in the emergency environment. Whatever cut them was definitely not sterile. So, it doesn't really matter what we're putting in the wound. They're probably going to get an infection, and they're going to get broad-spectrum antibiotics regardless. So, all we have to do is make sure that blood stops so that they can live long enough to get that infection and to get those antibiotics. So, for the wound packing, just take anything you have, and you can just pack the wound like normal, like you would with regular gauze. That's completely fine. All right, so the third thing we're going to talk about today is going to be a chest seal. So, the first thing you have to do when you come across somebody that has a sucking chest wound is have yourself or a bystander take their hand and put it on top of that injury. That's going to form a very effective occlusive dressing. Keep in mind that if it's a bullet hole or penetrating trauma, make sure you're looking for an exit wound as well. Ideally, you're going to have a bystander do that, and that will give you time to set up your makeshift chest seal. So, you can choose to make an improvised chest seal two different ways. Number one is you take the plastic bag, and you're going to tape all four sides down and put it on top of the wound. All that's doing is creating what's called an occlusive dressing, which means that it won't allow air in or out. Now, the second way to do it is you can tape three sides and leave the third side that's facing down open. What this will create is a flutter valve. So, in theory, if they start developing a tension pneumothorax, that tension won't be able to build because it will be released through that valve. That being said, there won't be any air that's able to come back into the lungs, so it's still accomplishing the objective. Now, I will tell you that there's no science to support a vented chest seal over a non-vented chest seal. I found non-vented chest seals tend to adhere over the wound a little bit better than a vented one, so that's what I opt to do. Just be aware, if you do that and they start to develop signs of a tension pneumothorax, you can just lift one corner of that chest seal and burp it. All right, so the final piece of improvised medical equipment we're going to talk about today are going to be splints. For this, all you need is some kind of brochure or magazine and either tape, some kind of fabric, or a pressure dressing of some kind. Now, to do this, all you do is you take the magazine and you fold it into kind of a boat shape there. You take their arm, and for this example, we'll do a wrist, and you're going to put it on their arm just like you would a SAM Splint. Once that's up and it's bowed up, this will not be able to flex up and down, which makes it an ideal splint because it's also not something that's completely rigid like a stick or a board or something like that. After that, you're going to take your tape or your fabric or pressure dressing, and you're going to secure it above and below the injury site. You want to make sure that if it's a joint injury, you are splinting the long bone above and below, and if it's a long bone, you're splinting the joint above and below. Obviously, this gets a little bit more complicated when it comes to elbows or ankles. However, most of the time, if you're improvising a splint, it's going to be for a wrist because that's one of the most commonly broken bones in the body. So, I want to drive this point home really quick. Improvising medical equipment should never be your plan A. This is your plan C or D. Ideally, you're going to have commercial devices that you can use because, quite frankly, these are going to be a lot quicker to use and they're going to be a lot more effective for your patients. That being said, we might be in a situation where multiple devices might need to be used, or we've run out, or we just didn't have something on us, and we have to be able to think on our feet and intervene for that patient. So, these are good skills to have. Just please, please, please, practice them before you have to do it in the real world because that's going to make all the difference for your patient. That's all I have for this video, guys. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments down below, and I will see you next week.
Wrist Grabs From The Side Hands Low And Hands High
Hello, everyone. I'm Örjan Pettersen. I'm an expert level Krav Maga instructor with Spartans Academy. Hello, guys, I'm Gheorghe Husar, Krav Maga master with Spartans Academy. Okay, on this lesson we'll cover wrist grabs when somebody will grab your wrist from the side. So, we apply the same principle. So Örjan is grabbing my wrist from the side. So what I'm trying to do here, what I'm doing here first, I'm going to strike to distract him. So I will apply a a hand strike to his face while I'm moving out of the line and out of his hand. So I'm stepping and striking straightaway. I'm releasing this hand and I carry on with more strikes and I'm moving behind him. Let's see this again. So he's grabbing my hand, this hand is coming up, I'm striking and I'm going to release the hand. Strike, strike, strike. So, you can apply any strike there that is relevant to the situation. Now, he's coming with a a cross hand. It's the same release what we've been talking on a on a previous lesson. Elbow stay low. I'm going to force to the weakest link and thumb pointing towards my shoulder, but out of my body frame. So now I'm doing the same, but I'm moving away from that hand. So, by the time when I'm striking, I position myself here. Now I'm going to release and continue with more strikes. Let's see this once more with the flow. Two hands grab, low. Same thing. I'll choose where I'm moving, depends on what's around me. So, I have to apply tactics like always. So first of all, I'm striking to get some reaction from my opponent. So I'm striking, moving, release my hand, carry on with more strikes if you want. Okay? It depends on the situation. So, once more here and now we'll change the angles as you can see. So I'm striking, moving here, I'm releasing this hand, forearm strike, forearm strike, palm strike behind the head. I'm here talking. He's grabbing my hand. So, high. Fantastic. I'm moving away of that hand. So, striking, yes? Release, strike, strike. Look at the release. Same what we've been teaching you on the previous lesson. Keep low elbow, force it down, out of the grip, ready to strike. Once more, force down along the thumb, out of the grip, ready to strike. So, striking, strike, strike, strike, out of the situation. With the other hand. I'm doing the same, I'm going against his thumb. So, putting pressure down, ready to strike. Down, ready to strike. So, getting out of the line, strike, release, strike, strike, strike. Two hands. Depend on the situation, I decide where I'm going, okay? So, moving out of the line, I'm striking, striking, so, as soon as he losing it a bit because he'll have to use his hands soon to defend himself, release, strike, strike, strike. So, practice this home to make it better and I will see you on the next lesson.
Knife Threat to The Neck from The Front Blade Diagonal
Hello everyone, I'm Orian Pettersen, I'm an expert level Krav Maga instructor, with Spartans Academy. Hello guys, I'm Gheorghe Husar, Krav Maga Master, with Spartans Academy. Okay, so on this lesson we are going to deal with knife threat to your neck from across or opposite side. So I'm face to face with my opponent. For any how, any reason you end up on this situation with a blade to your throat. So start first acting. So we're talking about camouflage behavior. So I'm bringing my hands up on a very slow manner, to don't trigger my opponent. As soon as I have an opportunity, so the far hand is going to grab his wrist and remove his wrist. It's like a straight punch as you'll learn on the previous technique. So hands up, head grab, strike. So I'm sending his hand onto the crook of my arm, the other arm, yes. And now, when I'm wrapping, I'm going to perform a shoulder strike against my opponent. Let's see this again. Once more. I'm bringing a knee on the game, so I'm going to strike his groin, to make the knife even deeper if it's there, the connection. And I'm moving away from him with a forearm strike. And I carry on striking either performing more forearm strikes, or now a straight palm strike behind my opponent till he's going on the floor. Maintain the grip on his arm, control his forearm against your belly chest, and perform more strikes till opponent is dropping and not moving, okay? So let's see this from the on a flow. So practice this home, practice this at your local gym. I will see you on the next lesson.
How a Revolver Works
A Colt Python is loaded by first pulling the cylinder latch to the rear. This unlocks the cylinder by means of the spring loaded latch pin. The crane is now able to swivel the cylinder out of the frame. Cartridges are then loaded into all six chambers. The cylinder is then pushed back into the frame and then rotated to ensure the bolt has locked it into position. Many revolvers feature both double-action and single-action operation. In double-action operation, the trigger is pulled until it cocks and releases the hammer to fire. In single-action operation, the hammer is drawn back to the cocked position and held by the sear. Squeezing the trigger releases the hammer to fire. As the trigger is pulled, the trigger pushes up on the hammer strut, cocking the hammer. As the hammer rotates, the main spring is compressed by means of the hammer stirrup and the rebound lever, which is pushed up by the trigger. As the hammer reaches its cocked position, it slips off the trigger. Simultaneously, the trigger pushes down on the bolt, dropping it out of the cylinder pocket. The hand engages the ratchet of the cylinder ejector, indexing it to the next chamber. Just as the hammer is released, the bolt drops into the next pocket, locking the cylinder's rotation. At the same time, the trigger raises the transfer bar up behind the firing pin. As the hammer is released, it strikes the transfer bar, transferring its energy to the firing pin, which travels forward, impacting the cartridge primer. This detonates the priming compound and ignites the powder charge, propelling the bullet down the barrel. With the rebound lever under constant tension from the main spring, its tension is transferred to the trigger. Releasing the trigger pivots the hammer strut out of the way, allowing it to return to its forward position. During single-action operation, the hammer is pulled back, driving movement of the trigger. At its peak, the trigger rests on the sear surface of the hammer. Pulling the trigger, releases it from the hammer sear, allowing it to strike the transfer bar. Releasing the trigger again resets its forward position. To eject the empty shell cases, the cylinder latch is pulled, allowing the cylinder to swivel out of the frame. Holding the revolver in a vertical orientation and pushing the ejector rod, forces the cases out of the cylinder.
Soft Break Fall Backwards And Sideways
Hello, everyone. I'm Örjan Pettersen. I'm an expert level Krav Maga instructor with Spartans Academy. In this lesson, we're going to talk about break fall backwards and sideways. This is an important break fall to learn because it's designed to protect yourself and put yourself in a position where you either can very quickly get up from the floor or to continue to fight from the floor. It's also designed to in terms of protection to avoid your your shoulder, elbow and wrist limb being exposed to any gravitational force by avoiding putting your hand downwards as you're falling. So let's look at the key critical checkpoints of that break fall. I'll just go through it in its entirety, and then we'll break it down a little bit later. As you can see, I'm dropping down from a controlled position where one of my legs will remain on the floor. That is to prevent the momentum pushing me to roll backwards as I'm dropping down. What I'm also doing as I'm falling is to land for my glute area and roll my glutes alongside the side of my back up towards my shoulder, so that's the contact point as I'm falling. Let's do this from a lower position, and you can see this in more detail. This is a good position to start training from, and then you can build it up to a greater height as you progress. Start with your hands up. Chin is dropped down. I'm rolling from a glute alongside my back, keeping my spine off the floor to protect it. As I've landed here, these are the key checkpoints that you need to focus on. Your head remains high, chin down, looking forward, protecting it against a fall against the surface at the back of your head. Your hands remain high, again, to protect yourself, but also to protect your elbow from any impact on the floor as you're falling. As I've said, one legs remains very close to you. This enables you to move on the floor, whilst your other leg has an outward knee, same with your toes in front of your groin, ready to protect your groin against any strikes. This is also placing yourself in a position where you can readily strike to multiple areas on your opponent. You can strike towards the knee, you can strike towards the groin, or, indeed, you can strike against the upper chest. Let's look at it again from a fluid motion. Key check points, head up, arms up, elbow up, leg close, other leg protect your groin, you're ready to strike. Standing up from this is covered in a further section, but you'll see the motion here. I've got a couple of options. I can stand up and face the opponent, or indeed, I can stand up and run away from my opponent. I can also conduct this fall in a sideways motion. The sideways one is very similar to the fall backwards. I'm just doing it more in a sideways motion. My impact comes to my right, and I'm falling down in a similar fashion. I will fall along the side of my spine, sorry, the side of my back close to the floor. Again, close leg is dampening the the momentum. And the far leg is ready to to strike. And from there, I can stand up or run away. So practice this break fall. It's important in terms of protecting your limbs, get yourself in a defensive position, and enabling you to fight on the floor. We'll see you in the next lesson.
