【KUNG-FU MASTER】You must survive! Everything can be used as a weapon!

0:00 Intense! Tamotsu Miyahira's Chinese Kung-fu!

0:04 But, would this technique actually be useful in a dangerous situation?

0:10 What would you do if a robbery broke into your house?

0:14 What could you do if you were suddenly attacked on the street?

0:18 What could you do if you couldn't immediately call the police?

0:24 Let's ask Miyahira sensei for his honest opinion

0:27 For many years, I have been running a Kung-fu dojo.

0:29 One day, I was asked to teach self-defense techniques to women.

0:34 Today, I'd like to talk about that time.

0:37 I think “Bujutsu” is like an evacuation drill.

0:42 For example, children enjoy the evacuation drills at school.

0:47 I think that very few people actually imagine a disaster occurring during training.

0:54 Therefore, it is quite difficult to imagine a robber actually entering your home with a knife.

1:01 I have often introduced Qin-na and pressure point techniques in videos,

1:08 so you might imagine that I teach these things as self-defense techniques.

1:14 Actually, that's not true.

1:16 What I teach is the mind before the technique.

1:19 Let's imagine the case where a robber with a knife breaks into your house and attacks you.

1:25 There are issues that come before fighting techniques.

1:28 First, your brain freezes and your body doesn't move at all.

1:31 You can't even make a loud noise.

1:33 That's where you start from.

1:36 The most important thing in a self-defense course is not how to fight back against an opponent's grab.

1:41 The first thing is to imagine.

1:44 You probably can't even speak.

1:45 It's better not to expect too much of yourself in such a dangerous situation.

1:51 Don't assume your usual practice will help.

1:55 You'd better not rely on it too much.

1:56 So, in your peaceful everyday life, please imagine this.

2:00 When someone breaks into your house,

2:02 you should first throw something hard at the window.

2:06 You break the glass window of your own house.

2:10 From the perspective of the robber, they definitely don't want anyone outside to know.

2:13 They want to complete everything in a locked room.

2:16 So, how to let people outside know is the most important thing.

2:20 However, it is better not to think that you can choose what to throw depending on the situation.

2:26 You should train yourself to have the image that “a robber” = “break the window”.

2:33 Connection?

2:33 Yes, you make connections.

2:35 By doing this, you put your opponent under mental pressure.

2:39 First, you need to set your mind like this.

2:46 However, there is a possibility that you will freeze and not even be able to throw something.

2:53 So you should practice while imagining these things on a regular basis.

2:57 This will enable you to do things like speak out or run away when the time comes.

3:01 That is the starting point.

3:02 Only by acquiring such a mindset will you be able to fight back when you are grabbed, or defend yourself using various objects.

3:16 At the self-defense class, I talked about whether you can shout or run in an emergency.

3:24 However, many participants seemed to have been disappointed because they were expecting to learn specific martial arts.

3:38 But I wanted the participants to survive at all costs if they were in danger.

3:47 That's why I wanted to teach them something they could actually use.

3:50 Not a specific offense or defense,

3:52 but to be able to shout.

3:55 In order to actually move your body, your brain has to be working first.

4:02 What is necessary for "Bujutsu" is mental training rather than physical practice.

4:10 There is a big difference between those who practice while focusing on this and those who don't.

4:15 Those who practice while imagining various situations will be able to put their skills to use when they are actually in danger.

4:22 However, there are also people who practice without imagining dangerous situations at all.

4:27 When it happens for the first time in their lives,

4:31 it feels like something from another world.

4:35 Then they think, “What is this? Am I going to die?”

4:39 and all the practice they've done just disappears from their minds.

4:44 So it's a matter of how closely you can connect your training at the dojo to your daily life.

4:49 Imagine this: It's a peaceful day, as usual.

4:52 A suspicious person approaches you.

4:54 When he gets closer to you, can you quickly switch from your everyday life to an extraordinary situation?

5:02 What if you think this?

5:06 He can't be a criminal.

5:09 I'm just being too worried.

5:11 He must be just a passerby.

5:13 There's no way an incident or crime will happen to me.

5:24 The longer you think about it, the closer he will get to you, and the more danger you will be in.

5:32 That's why I think practicing Bujutsu helps you switch your brain on as quickly as possible and notice danger.

5:50 It is not realistic for you to take action before the enemy does.

5:56 You can only respond to the enemy's actions.

6:04 That's why the sooner you change your mindset, the more of an advantage you'll have.

6:13 Self-defense is different from fighting sports.

6:17 First of all, you don't know when it will start.

6:18 And it's not “both sides face each other, there's a referee, and then there's a starting signal”.

6:24 You never know when it will start.

6:26 The enemy may come from the front or the back.

6:31 You don't know which direction they will come from.

6:35 They have no rules and they have weapons.

6:41 They may be in large numbers.

6:42 Adult men attack women and children.

6:45 All kinds of situations are possible.

6:49 Of course, you don't need to be tense all the time.

6:56 But it's better to be like your mind is always driving slowly.

7:01 You should be able to switch at any time.

7:06 Imagine a scene where a robber breaks into your house.

7:08 There are probably various everyday items around you.

7:12 To ordinary people, these items are just everyday items.

7:17 However, if you have studied Bujutsu,

7:19 you would be able to recognize chairs, cups, etc. as weapons.

7:26 Everything can be applied as a weapon depending on your perspective.

7:31 To begin with, the opponent is a cowardly person with a weapon who has no rules.

7:39 There is absolutely no need for you to fight with your bare hands and follow the rules.

7:45 That's why I recommend using everyday items as weapons.

7:53 A chair against a knife.

7:56 Insecticide would also be effective.

7:58 Pour oil on the floor and your opponent's feet.

8:03 A vacuum flask could also be used.

8:06 A baseball bat would also be good.

8:09 Throwing a glass at their feet would make it harder for them to move.

8:12 There are various possible ways.

8:14 However, it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine something that does not look like a weapon as a weapon.

8:22 But you think that everything can be used as a weapon, don't you?

8:32 Yes, it depends on how you use it.

8:36 An object with a certain shape cannot be used as a weapon in this way.

8:44 However, it can be used effectively as a weapon in a different way.

8:48 For example, if you encounter a dangerous situation while shopping with your family or friends on a day off,

8:55 Yes, it could happen.

8:56 is there anything you can use as a weapon?

9:00 It's like something you'd have in your bag.

9:03 Is there anything you can use for self-defense?

9:06 Let's think about things that might be in a bag that are not specialized self-defense items.

9:14 This is a business card case.

9:16 There are various shapes, but most office workers have one.

9:21 If the enemy grapples you.

9:24 Since the business card case is shaped like this,

9:28 it is obvious that striking with the flat part will not be effective.

9:35 You don't use the flat part,

9:36 but the corner.

9:39 You use this corner intensively.

9:43 The corners are less likely to break.

9:44 If you hold only the top, it is easy to break,

9:46 so hold the bottom.

9:47 Grab me.

9:48 That's all.

9:53 That's all.

10:00 And ask someone to phone the police.

10:03 See, this is just a business card case.

10:07 I'm now focusing on using this corner.

10:10 I held it so that this part would stick out a little.

10:13 And stabbed him with it.

10:16 In the pressure point?

10:17 Yes, that's right.

10:18 It doesn't work on any part of the body?

10:21 I think it works on any part of the body,

10:23 but it's even more effective on pressure points.

10:25 I can do it naturally.

10:27 The spot I hit is always the pressure point.

10:31 He fell over instantly after you touched him, right?

10:36 Yes. His body went numb the moment I touched him.

10:40 I'm sure that most businessmen have a business card case like this.

10:45 What shall I show you next?

10:47 This is a normal plastic comb.

10:52 Let's use this.

10:54 By the way, it's not good to hold your business card case like this.

10:58 Not only will he understand your intentions, but you will also focus on this.

11:03 Your intentions are obvious.-Yes.

11:04 This should be used as a hidden weapon.

11:07 If I hold the comb like this, it's not scary, right?

11:13 See, it's not scary.

11:15 And be careful how you hold it.

11:18 This is made of plastic, so don't break it.

11:20 Hold it like this so that the bottom part becomes smaller.

11:23 I'll show you how to use it.

11:26 Same as a business card case.

11:32 You can hold it differently.

11:35 What's happened?

11:38 I actually stabbed him in the throat.

11:43 This is a really thin plastic product, isn't it?

11:45 Yes, it's very thin.

11:47 Why don't you try it too, Director Nishi?

11:53 Ouch, that hurt!

11:55 I only touched you with this.

11:57 It's a common, everyday comb, right?

11:59 Yes, but it depends on how you hold it.

12:01 Holding it like this is no good.

12:03 It could break.

12:04 So, hold the bottom part and focus your strength here.

12:08 This part is not sharp.

12:10 It is certainly flat!

12:13 I think there are other parts of this comb that can be used as weapons.

12:17 Maybe it's a bit too cruel.

12:19 When he attacks, target his eyes.

12:21 It's cruel, though.

12:22 Ordinary people would never imagine using a comb in this way if they were actually in a dangerous situation.

12:35 I suppose that's true, but it can be used as a weapon if you know how to use it.

12:39 Because adult men will fall over in an instant.

12:43 But the aim is not to knock your opponent down.

12:44 You should move away and escape while your opponent is in pain.

12:47 This is a tool for that purpose.

12:49 As I said earlier, ordinary people would never imagine that this thin plastic comb could be used as a weapon.

13:02 Yes, it depends on how you use it.

13:04 If you hold it like this, the tip won't break.

13:12 It is used in this way.

13:15 The other thing you'll probably have in your bag is a ballpoint pen.

13:21 Strangle me, please.

13:24 I know you don't want to.

13:26 This is it.

13:29 He must want to quit.

13:33 You can also stick this in the head.

13:36 And here's the pressure point.

13:37 He doesn't want to be done.

13:43 And you run away.

13:45 Let me try it. - Of course.

13:47 First, strangle me.

13:49 I feel so bad.

13:53 How painful!

13:55 How could he stand it?

13:57 I definitely couldn't!

13:59 It's cruel, isn't it?

14:00 What is this?

14:02 It's a ballpoint pen.

14:08 For example...

14:11 If you grab my hand, I'll thrust it here.

14:16 I'll do it slowly.

14:18 The armpit is a weak spot.

14:21 You can't stand this, can you?

14:23 I avoided it from the start.

14:25 So that's how it works!

14:26 It's just a pen.

14:27 This can definitely be used for self-defense.

14:31 This kind of idea is important.

14:33 Yes, but if your opponent is wielding a knife, you must not try to fight back with this.

14:42 Because you need to get close to your opponent.

14:47 I think it's better for ordinary people to fire tear gas spray from a distance away from their opponent.

14:57 Even a small amount of this spray can damage the eyes and respiratory system.

15:06 This ballpoint pen is good for use against opponents who grab you.

15:13 When you are in a dangerous situation, it is important to think thoroughly about what you can use, right?

15:24 It's like breaking through the limits of the brain.

15:28 Yes, for that reason, it is better to go to a home improvement store and look at the various products for yourself,

15:34 rather than just searching for crime prevention goods on the internet.

15:43 You can buy the comb from a regular store.

15:47 In a home improvement store, any product can be used for self-defense if you change your perspective.

15:54 Even if it looks like an everyday item, it might be useful for self-defense?-Yes.

16:01 As you say, the body moves according to the brain's commands, so it is necessary to keep the brain itself active.

16:09 If you see tragic news reports on a regular basis, you should think about how to protect yourself.

16:21 I don't get particularly excited when I look at martial arts equipment in sports stores.

16:29 But I feel that home improvement stores are full of treasures.

16:36 That's my habit.

16:37 Let's imagine this situation at home.

16:45 A robber breaks into your house. He has a knife in his hand.

16:48 You look around, but there are no self-defense items in the house.

16:50 So you can't do anything.

16:51 Don't think like that.

16:53 Think that you can use anything as a weapon.

16:56 But you might not be able to think of using a chair as a weapon.

17:02 If you just cower without making any effort, it's convenient for the robber.

17:07 But if you resist in any way you can, you can put psychological pressure on your opponent.

17:18 Of course, you don't need to do this simulation every day,

17:22 but try to imagine whether you could use each item in your house as a weapon even once every few months.

17:32 So it's a visualization training? -Yes, that's right.

17:39 I think you can use anything as a weapon.

17:45 Everyone is a Hero in "Kuro-obi World".

17:54 Of course you are also a Hero!

17:56 See you again in "Kuro-obi World"!
