Et tu Brute?Yeah, pointy sticks are very hard to understand.
Yes. At 16:52 of the OP video, Paulo advises to get a Russian tie (2 on 1). At 3:08 of the following video, Trav offers Paulo (aka GN) and Funker Tactical $10,000, if they can put him in a Russian tie 1 time out of 300 normal intensity knife attacks (100/slash, overhand stab, underhand stab).Well I agree with the awareness, perception and a bit of luck ideas and yes, control is everything with an added concern, you have to destroy the assailant either by beating, breaking or worse. If someone is trying to kill you, you are left with very little choice.
Learn one handed combinations.

Sticks? Did you watch the video? Maybe you had a little nap before it got goingâŠYeah, pointy sticks are very hard to understand.
agree
Once worked as part of an armed team responsible for picking up and transporting money to banks in a semi-armored vehicle. We were taught, an attacker with a knife can cover a distance of 21 feet (approximately 6.4 meters) in the time it takes for an average person to draw and fire their weapon.
I worked with venomous snakes in the early1990s for $8.25/ hr. One of the more foolish things Iâve done for money in the past. I remember being stoked to work with Rinkhals cobras the first time, putting on the face shield and thinking how lucky I was at the time.The 21 feet thing is true. Most people are shocked when they first do that drill.
I was part of a heavily armed team safeguarding one hundred and twenty six billion dollars in cash and searching every armored car that entered and left the premises.
I was shocked when I learned how little armored car employees earn.

The $10k challenge is for doing what Paulo is teaching Jesse in the OP video and does in flow drills. In his own challenge practice video, Paulo cannot get the Russian tie against his own friend. The street is less predictable.These challenges from folks like âfight smart Travâ can be fun, but are meaningless in the grand scope of things. Against a trained knife fighter, your chances for survival plummet. The majority of knife altercations on the street donât come from a trained knife fighter.
Paulo GN Rubio is an exceptional teacher, articulate and sounds so credible too!
"There is no fair play, no rules, except one. Kill or be killed"
He is perhaps best known for designing the famous FairbairnâSykes fighting knife, or 'Commando' knife, a stilletto-style fighting dagger used by British Special Forces in the Second World War, and featured in his textbook Scientific Self-Defence Fairbairn also designed the lesser known Smatchet, and collaborated on the design of several other combat knife designs.
Angered, Shioda tried to immobilize Musashi, but he was unable to cross the line Musashi had indicated, as though there were an energy field around Musashi's body that protected him.
"unified" would be the better wordIt's as if intent, spirit, and energy can be intuited.
If it was videoed,,,,wonder what the reactions would be ?
Have you ever felt this ?
It would certainly be impressive, considering Shioda was a vassal of Lord Hosokawa and that Musashi was in his mid 50s at the time. Kendo practitioners call this "kizeme", which can be interpreted as "spirit/energy offense".
Yes, but only once - and I was on the receiving end.
I'm still studying and training to be even close to the level of my seniors and sensei. And who knows if anyone will ever feel what Musashi felt, let alone come close to his ability to defeat without striking - in actual combat.
Iâm not totally hip to this stuff, but isnât this how they make money? I might be wrong.The $10k challenge is for doing what Paulo is teaching Jesse in the OP video and does in flow drills. In his own challenge practice video, Paulo cannot get the Russian tie against his own friend. The street is less predictable.
In another video below, Paulo accepts the challenge. In the over 300 comments asking Paulo to stop making excuses and follow through with his word, Paulo replies, "I accepted⊠I'm actually not teaching any of it." While 3 years later in the OP video, there is a link to Paulo's courses for sale on a new website.
I ran some gun dog training clinics for snake avoidance. I used rattlesnakes( mouth taped shut ) and charged 75/ dog. Only failed to work on 2 dogs.Damn! Thatâs crazy scary.
What the flippinâ heck? Thatâs a job?I worked with venomous snakes in the early1990s for $8.25/ hr.
Look, you need helpâŠlong, protracted expensive therapy!One of the more foolish things Iâve done for money in the past. I remember being stoked to work with Rinkhals cobras the first time, putting on the face shield and thinking how lucky I was at the time.
Yes, me too. I pride myself as being impervious to âwoo-wooâ nonsense but once a teacher showed me how he can âturn onâ his intimidation. Post hoc analysis suggested there was something in the predatory way he moved and pursued me, held my gaze that was intimidating triggering a primal instinct in me to be fearful and to take flightâŠ.rather like Rubioâs pre-attack indicators are signals of imminent attack. I wouldnât believe it was possible if I hadnât experienced it."In my mind I wanted to kill you."
I've experienced this on the receiving end in the dojo. It's different to seeing "red". It's almost supernatural. Reminds me of this passage in Kenji Tokitsu's book:
A successful knife defense depends upon being able to see the attack coming, or at least being forewarned through
knowledge and training. A knife assault is many times launched in darkness, or in such a way that it is impossible
to detect immediately the opening move of the attack, such as drawing the weapon.
William E. Fairbairn, along with Eric A. Sykes, developed the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife and contributed significantly to the creation of the hand-to-hand combat training programs used by the British Commandos and the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II. Fairbairn's methods were based on his extensive experience in the violent streets of Shanghai and emphasized practical and brutal techniques suitable for real-world combat situations.
