00:21I am in St. Louis, USA
00:25I am in St. Louis, USA
00:27and today I am in August of the 7th Dan
00:32of the Korean Federation of the Kido
00:34Michael Ruanos
00:35in the past
00:37of the Texas Ranger
00:39in the past
00:41not there
00:42and today we will talk about
00:46how to work
00:47against a pistol
00:49against a knife
00:51guys, seriously
00:53the guys are here
00:54because far from this place
00:57is the city of Ferguson
00:58if you remember
01:00the news
01:01of criminal
01:03in general
01:04let's go
01:05let's go
01:05let's go
01:11let's go
01:11hello everyone
01:13today we will try to show
01:15some techniques
01:17and you will see
01:19maybe we will find something new
01:21hi
01:21thank you sir
01:25hi my name is Michael Rhodes
01:26I am the U.S. Director for the Korea Hop Kido Federation
01:29and I would like to show you a couple techniques today
01:32that we practice against knife extraction
01:34and firearm extraction
01:36thank you
01:37okay let's go
01:40okay
01:42so
01:42whenever we're practicing
01:43this is just a simulated mold of a six hour 226
01:47however we always train and practice as if it's real
01:50meaning we're not going to point it at anyone
01:52we trade it as if it's a live firearm at all times
01:55so this way
01:57it's safer when we practice
01:58and it's a good mindset that safety is always first and foremost
02:01we do not want to practice and have an opportunity for an accidental discharge
02:06so even upon handling
02:07it is a way that manner that we're holding the barrel up
02:09so I know it's effectively safe
02:11or barrel down
02:12basically you just don't want to point it at anyone else
02:15it's a very bad habit
02:20okay
02:23get out
02:23do it now
02:26okay
02:31okay so
02:31the first technique we work on
02:33is from the front
02:35and what's very important is
02:37whatever level of threat the firearm is
02:40is the level that my hands go
02:42for example
02:43if the firearm is low
02:44my hands cannot be high
02:46because if I react
02:48he has a better opportunity and chance to discharge a firearm
02:52if the level is high
02:53my hands can't be low
02:55as you can see
02:56if I move fast here
02:57he has a faster reaction time
02:59to discharge a firearm
03:01so the level of the threat
03:02the very first thing I'm doing is raising my hands
03:06step by step
03:07is to simply move my body out of the way
03:10the thought behind that is my heart is located slightly to my left side
03:15if I move here I have a better chance of survival
03:18continuous level of threat by pushing the wrist and supporting the firearm
03:23this is important because I have control of the firearm
03:26and then I redirect in a manipulating manner
03:29so that I can able to extract the firearm
03:32control the firearm
03:35and engage
03:38so again
03:41level of threat
03:44action
03:44chamber
03:46and engage
03:47and engage
03:49this is just one technique from the front
03:56anybody
03:56don't shoot
03:57don't shoot
03:57get up
03:58get up
03:58shoot it now
04:03motion
04:04dropping
04:05feeling
04:06sample
04:07boom boom
04:08day
04:13three
04:19i don't think
04:22that's right
04:22just give it to me
04:24I can't create this
04:25two
04:25hold on
04:28second
04:30again
04:30get down
04:31Get down. Do it now.
04:37Here's the mic.
04:38Whoa, whoa, whoa.
04:40Get down. Stay down.
04:42Put your hands around your back.
04:48Step by step.
04:53The first thing is very important
04:54is to make sure we have leveled the threat again.
04:57This at least tries to send a signal
04:59to the person that we're not
05:01resisting, that we're in compliance.
05:04First motion
05:05is to drop out of the way.
05:07Training to try to
05:09pull the person in so that they cannot easily
05:10grab the firearm and then
05:12manipulate and pull away like an outside
05:15wrist lock. From this point
05:17again, I want to chamber and
05:19engage. Holding the
05:21firearm close to me so that I not give
05:23it back to him. This
05:25I can still effectively defend
05:27myself.
05:29Most important
05:30is to be prepared.
05:32It may not be in the right hand.
05:35So if it comes from here
05:37and is actually in the left hand,
05:39that's different. And I will demonstrate that as well.
05:44Okay.
05:45Stop.
05:46As I explained
05:47before, the importance of being
05:49able to train for both hands is very important.
05:51My hands again is presenting
05:53to the attacker that I'm not
05:54resisting. However,
05:57hoping for the right hand, but I recognize
05:59at this point the left hand, I cannot stop.
06:01So to be able to continue
06:02the same technique
06:04and be able to get control
06:06and try to stop the threat.
06:08Get down and do it now.
06:13The purpose of this
06:14is to make sure that
06:16I'm able to defend myself
06:18in case I'm encountering a close
06:20quarter situation.
06:21I want to have control of the situation
06:23and I want to de-escalate the situation
06:25at the same time.
06:26I never want to take somebody's life
06:28if I don't have to,
06:29but I have to be prepared to defend mine
06:30at all times.
06:46So first, before we start working
06:48with knife defense,
06:49it's very important, in my opinion,
06:52that you practice
06:53in a stationary position,
06:55not immediately start slashing
06:57and thrusting and so forth and so on,
06:58because you have to understand
07:00the mechanics of how you're going
07:02to get the disarm.
07:03And to be able to do that slowly,
07:05effectively,
07:06so that you can repeat
07:07the exact same steps
07:08of the process is very important.
07:09So step by step,
07:11it's going to build perfection
07:13in the technique.
07:14It's going to build technique
07:15as far as confidence in yourself.
07:17And most importantly,
07:19that's what's going to become
07:20building to a more effective,
07:21a higher percentage chance of success
07:23in an extraction of a knife.
07:25So it's very important.
07:27So we'll start with the first one.
07:29From a stationary position,
07:30as we discussed earlier,
07:32whatever level of threat,
07:34if the knife is high,
07:35my hands are high.
07:36If the knife is low,
07:37my hands are low.
07:38So the very first thing
07:40is to realize is that
07:41if I defend myself
07:42against a knife,
07:43there's a very good chance
07:44and likeliness
07:45that I'm going to get cut.
07:46I have to make sure
07:47that that cut
07:47is not one that is deadly.
07:50So if I choose to engage
07:52and try to extract this knife
07:54from this person,
07:54I have to make sure
07:55that it is effective
07:56and it's realistic.
07:57It's not a demonstration.
07:59So for example,
08:00one.
08:08The reason this technique
08:09works so well
08:10is because
08:11I'm able to manipulate the wrist
08:14and by bending the wrist,
08:16the effectiveness
08:16is that your hand
08:17is very difficult
08:18to maintain the same grip.
08:19So the more I bend the wrist,
08:21the more the hand opens.
08:23Also going to the outside
08:24eliminates the opportunity
08:27for him to be able
08:27to grab his own hand.
08:28So I want to keep
08:29out here out of range.
08:31By continuing the process
08:33all the way to the ground,
08:35I'm able to then
08:35press against himself
08:37and hopefully
08:38in an opportunity
08:39to try to de-escalate
08:40the situation.
08:41If I need to from here,
08:43if it is life-threatening,
08:44then obviously there's
08:46a lot of things
08:46that I can do from here.
08:48As we talked about
08:49before with the knife,
08:50I mean with the firearm,
08:51handing the knife
08:52is also very important
08:53in a very responsible
08:55but yet respectful manner.
08:57Not just simply
08:57clumsily handing
08:58a knife to somebody.
08:59So this is the first technique
09:01from the front.
09:03Second technique
09:04is if it's low,
09:05it's very difficult
09:06for me to grab the wrist.
09:07I actually,
09:08it's better to grab
09:09with two hands.
09:10In theory,
09:11my two hands
09:12are stronger than his one.
09:13It's also easier to redirect.
09:15I want to be able to pull
09:16or push to either side.
09:18This one in particular,
09:19I want to be able to grab
09:20pull slightly
09:21causing the person
09:22to come off balance.
09:24Continue to step under,
09:25continuous motion,
09:27and effectively place
09:29into the person.
09:35This is many opportunities
09:36for me.
09:37I can step under,
09:39stand,
09:40or just simply pull
09:41to the side.
09:42If I want to peel,
09:43continue the motion
09:44from here.
09:56I want to do a take down
09:57on the person,
09:58for example,
09:58and I want to go
09:59the other direction.
10:00My two hands,
10:01here,
10:03and here.
10:04If I want to control wrist,
10:06or if I actually want to
10:07push the person
10:08to the ground,
10:09and it's easy for me
10:10to control.
10:12Again,
10:13hopefully in an opportunity
10:14I can remove myself
10:16from that dangerous situation.
10:29Okay,
10:29next,
10:30technique is from the backside.
10:31Same thing as we talked about
10:33from the front side,
10:33level of the threat.
10:34The reason this is important,
10:36if I turn,
10:37my hands are too high,
10:38it's a really good chance
10:39they can cut me.
10:40So if you notice
10:41this technique,
10:42there's extraction,
10:44meaning taking away,
10:45and there's joint technique,
10:46or breaking,
10:47for control.
10:48So this one in particular
10:49is from here,
10:50here.
10:52So the very first thing
10:53I'm doing
10:53is just simply getting away.
10:55If it's an extraction,
10:57I want to put more effort
10:58and energy into the hand.
11:01Then,
11:02attack,
11:03then get away.
11:05Next,
11:06we're going to cover
11:06some techniques utilizing a rope.
11:09It can be used
11:10with a belt
11:11or many different things.
11:13So the really neat thing
11:14about this
11:15is the fact
11:15that it creates
11:16a better leverage
11:17or strengthening.
11:18For example,
11:20if somebody's punching,
11:21it's easier to hear
11:23to get control
11:24downward
11:26to their inside
11:27or to their outside
11:30because it has
11:30that controlled energy.
11:32Another thing that we do
11:33is to be able
11:34to control it
11:35by trapping
11:36and manipulating.
11:39Right?
11:41If this right here
11:43is simulated
11:43just as an extremity,
11:45but take it
11:46a little step further
11:47and let's say
11:48it's on initiation
11:49or that
11:50initiative attack
11:51to the throat area
11:53here,
11:53then it's a trapping motion
11:55as well.
11:56And I'll show you
11:56what I'm talking about.
12:00With one motion
12:01here,
12:03one,
12:04two,
12:07don't move.
12:09Okay?
12:09So,
12:10okay?
12:11Let's see.
12:14What's really unique
12:16about these techniques
12:17is it's really unorthodox.
12:19Most people
12:20do not suspect
12:20this to be able
12:21to be used
12:21as a self-defense tool.
12:25I have taught
12:26these techniques
12:26using dental floss
12:27which is really
12:29hard to break
12:29and it's very difficult
12:31for somebody
12:31to get their hands on.
12:32Very, very effective.
12:36Another really unique
12:37opportunity with this
12:38is to be able
12:39to take the initiative
12:40because it's unexpected.
12:42So,
12:42striking
12:43and control
12:47immediately.
12:51Okay?
13:05Again,
13:06my name is Michael Rhodes.
13:07I'm the U.S. Director
13:08for the Korea-Hopkino Federation
13:09in the United States of America.
13:11I want to personally
13:12thank Master Lajinsky
13:13for being able
13:13to have the opportunity
13:14to come to our headquarters
13:16in the United States
13:17to develop this work
13:18in relationship
13:18and friendship
13:19and brotherhood
13:20to support Hokkido
13:21worldwide.
13:22I want to thank
13:23my assistant
13:24that you saw earlier,
13:25Mr. Michael Pickering,
13:26to be a wonderful assistant.
13:31The techniques
13:32that you've seen today
13:32were techniques
13:33that are a little bit more
13:35outside the box
13:36of thinking
13:36and in a manner
13:37that we really try
13:39to recognize
13:39realistic training
13:40for realistic situations.
13:42Thank you very much
13:43for your time
13:44and I hope you enjoy it.
13:46Wow.
14:16It doesn't matter.
14:18It hurt.
14:20Okay, it goes.
14:22It hurt.
14:22You know,
14:23we should have done
14:23with the knife technique
14:25around the throat
14:26because this is here.
14:29Then, right?
14:43You can tell
14:45physically
14:46and visually
14:47nothing
14:48and it is clear
14:49but this is
14:50absolutely
14:52realistic situation.
