This analysis breaks down a viral fight video from the Dominican Republic, highlighting the effectiveness of a smaller defender's striking techniques against two larger aggressors. It emphasizes that the 'size of the fight in the dog' can overcome physical disadvantages. The content draws insights from John Correia and Steph Weidner of Active Self Protection, underscoring the importance of attitude, skills, and a plan in self-defense scenarios.

This video demonstrates three counter-techniques for when a backhand thrust knife defense becomes jammed. The instructor, with clear authority, explains how to perform an inside check and attack the grip's weak point, or transition to an outside line attack by manipulating the blade. For larger individuals, a direct power collapse of the weapon is also shown. The emphasis is on practical application and training.

This guide synthesizes expert advice on surviving a Great White shark encounter, drawing from Shawn Ryan's authoritative insights. It details the futility of outswimming a shark due to their incredible speed (up to 40 mph) and warns against splashing, which attracts them. The core strategy emphasizes immediate, aggressive counter-attacks targeting the shark's eyes or gills to trigger a flight response. Understanding the shark's innate predatory instincts, honed from birth through intrauterine cannibalism, is crucial for effective defense.

This video demonstrates a rapid knife-based disarm technique, focusing on aggressive counter-attacks to neutralize a threat. The method involves swift cuts to vulnerable areas like the eyes and femoral arteries, combined with body positioning to control the attacker's balance and weapon. The emphasis is on overwhelming the assailant with unexpected, multi-directional attacks to regain control of the situation.

This video analyzes a self-defense incident in Brazil where a couple successfully fought off motorcycle robbers. Host John Correia, an expert in self-defense video analysis, breaks down the tactical decisions, emphasizing situational awareness, the importance of assessing threat levels (unarmed attackers), and the critical legal boundaries between self-defense and excessive force. The analysis highlights the effectiveness of a strong defensive attitude even without formal training and stresses the importance of establishing the narrative with law enforcement post-incident.

This video demonstrates techniques for defending against a baseball bat attack. The instructor emphasizes aggressive counter-offense after blocking the initial swing, suggesting follow-up strikes like headbutts, hammer fists, or knee strikes to the groin. The core principle is to immediately transition from defense to offense to overwhelm the attacker.

This guide, presented by former CIA Officer Jason Hanson, details how to defend against a baseball bat attack. It emphasizes recognizing the attacker's 'wind-up,' closing the distance to neutralize the weapon's power, and executing a specific forearm block technique. The instruction stresses immediate counter-offensives to end the threat.

This guide synthesizes tactical advice from former CIA officer Jason Hanson on responding to an ambush. It emphasizes the critical principle that 'movement saves lives' and outlines a step-by-step approach to survival, including threat assessment, maintaining vehicle momentum, effective communication, and strategic counter-attack considerations. The advice is derived from analyzing a real-world heist scenario and Hanson's expertise in executive protection and survival techniques.

Massad Ayoob, an expert firearms instructor, argues that 'gun-free zones' inadvertently attract attackers by offering defenseless targets. He advocates for an armed civilian response, citing the success of volunteer church security groups as a model for schools. Ayoob suggests that the presence of armed citizens, capable of immediate self-defense, acts as a significant deterrent to potential attackers who seek a 'blaze of glory' rather than a swift, decisive end from a teacher with a 9mm handgun.

Jason Hansen, a former CIA officer, details a defensive strategy against prison-style knife attacks. The core principle is to accept that cuts are likely but aim for superficial ones by controlling the attacker's weapon arm with both of your hands. Once control is established, the defender should drive into the attacker, create pain, and use offensive techniques to disarm them, thereby increasing the chances of survival.

This guide details a self-defense technique taught by former CIA Officer Jason Hanson for disarming an attacker who has a gun pointed at your back. It emphasizes critical steps like moving out of the line of fire, trapping the weapon arm, and using biomechanical advantages to neutralize the threat. The instruction highlights the importance of rapid action and reaction, along with transitioning to strikes if necessary.

This video breaks down a critical incident where an officer, John Correia, demonstrates a rapid defensive response to a suspect's sudden lunge. The analysis highlights the officer's quick reaction time (0.3 seconds) and the application of Kempo-derived techniques to stop the attack's momentum and neutralize the threat. It emphasizes the importance of anticipating danger and using overwhelming force when necessary, drawing on legal standards for police encounters.
