Gross Counter Attack | Triangle Block | Self Defense Technique | FightFast

The problem with blocks is... they aren't attacks. You will never win a street fight or prevail in a self defense situation with blocks alone. And unless you are a very highly trained marital artist with tons of time to practice, the fancy looking blocks, parries, and counterstrikes you see in the movies won't work. Don't get me wrong there are some efficient and effective blocks and counter strikes, but most of what you see is just for show or takes way too long to learn. What's more these fancy self defense moves rely 100% on fine motor skills. Something that will be in short supply under a surprise attack.
In this video lesson John Nottingham shows you the simplicity of a triangle block that is both block and an attack. Once you see it you will understand why it's such a great self defense tool. It's a gross motor skill, it uses your entire body so it works for smaller people (remember you will almost certainly be attacked by a larger stronger attacker, so even if you are a 5'11" and 180lbs you'll still be "small" compared to your attacker) and when driven into the face or neck is a devastating strike.

Does this self defense technique look cool? No. But it will put an attacker onto his backside in a real life street fight. If you want to look 'cool' in a fight just know there is a good chance you'll end up unconscious on the blacktop. Learning simplified self defense techniques like this one, and you'll survive and win street fights.
