What do you do when....

[nedsurf]

Do the best you can with what you have. Fight like hell with what you know. Use objects between you and the aggressor. Use same objects as hard things to hit the aggressor against. Use walls, columns and corners to protect your flank and rear. Know how to to defend yourself from the ground.
In this video IMHO the cowboy took a casual semi-bladed stance with hands above his waist. Fairly good defensive stance. He did let the already agitated person too close when he was having words with him. When the agitator came close to him, he could have made distance by backing up, took a more aggressive fighting stance with a real loud "Get back!" It would have got the attention of everyone around, got the police running to the scene if not already, filled his lungs with air and got his fighting juices flowing. It is already a disruptive airport scene so might as well make it the best advantage to him. Pink shirt guy was too busy recording on his phone with no situational awareness. He got a kick for that. After that it was a pig pile until the upstart was in cuffs.

There are plenty of things for improvised weapons and armor. One can learn a lot from studying what is made/used in prison. One that really had me amazed was seeing a hard spike made from coffee cup lids.

This is a good example why we all need to learn basic self defense (empty hand) techniques, strikes, holds, armlocks and chokes!

Group class...sounds like...fun?

All of these are WORTHLESS is a person does not practice these at least on a regular basis to make them second nature. Merely learning them once is not good enough and will not be used under duress.

Of course you need to practice and hone your skills, I don't think I mentioned that you only need to see it demonstrated once. As in anything that you learn you need to practice it to eventually have some level of skill. Either way, you can't shoot everyone so you better be skillful with your hands in the interim.

One should be fairly confident in their own self-defense with and without weapons!

True, but some knowledge is better than no knowledge when in a defensive situation. Regular practice can improve your chance of getting out of that situation intact. A simple thing like situational awareness could be the difference between being attacked or not.

Get in my fighting stance

Grab the shoulders, collar, or back of their head. Pull them towards you while thrust the the top of the my head into the center of their face. Its easier if you are a bit shorter than the enemy.

Grab their ears and try to rip them off. He will reach up to stop you from ripping his ears off. When he does that gouge the eyes out.

That ain't so easy. Ask me how I know.

I can't imagine it being easy, but I'd certainly like to hear your story!

 

[Kman]

Improvise. That's all you have at that point.

On another note...it sure looked like I saw a lot of uniform types (not cops) doing d1ck and getting scarce when this thing was revving up.

 

[JamesH]

I put on my robe and wizard hat...

 

[myright]

Trick question. I am the you are the weapon, objects are just tools.

 

[Dieselfool]

I would instantly drop everything I was carrying, Then start making loud karate noises, And hold up both arms while I lifted up my left foot, And then hold rock steady in a Crane stance.

Lmao.. WHaahhh. Yaaaa!

You are in a place where you have no gun.
No knife.
No pepper spray, taser, or other self-defense tool.
and then you are attacked.......what would you do?

Already been there and done that, never again!
When it happened to me I improvised and ended up using my car as a weapon. Luckily it worked.
