Self Defense Tips & Tricks

If you want to survive a violent attack, you must commit 100% of yourself to survival.  Trying to go 80% to keep your attacker unharmed can backfire.  You must commit 100% to your survival and the survival of your family if they are with you.  Coach David Alexander

Why I sell my self defense system

Here is an email I received from someone who just purchased my B.E.T. “Target Based” Self Defense System 2-Disc DVD set.  I asked him how he heard about me and this was his response.  Thanks for the email Casey!  Let me know what you think of my DVD after you watch.  Coach David

 

Hey Coach David,

Well, I’ll quickly tell you my story. I am a truck driver, so I often get approached by strangers asking for money or hitchhiking or prostitutes or drug dealers even, and yes, I have been approached by all of them, and it is scary when it happens. I drive locally now, so I am home every night, and I do work out to keep myself in shape, but I don’t know how to actually defend myself from an attacker.

A few months ago, I had a family member that was mugged and murdered in a parking lot less than a mile from my home. Now that is scary! I often think about what would have happened if that was me in that parking lot. I don’t want to be a victim and lose my life from some assholes wanting my phone or a few bucks.

So I started looking for real self-defense methods for me to practice, but the majority are overly complicated moves that would require years of training for me to have a chance, then I came across a demonstration video on youtube of your method. Your “B.E.T. Target Based” Self-Defense is simple, it wouldn’t require me to spend years of training and hundreds of dollars to master, and most importantly, it works. I can remember three targets and I can practice those moves on my bag after work. I want to get your DVD and learn it so that I won’t be a mugging victim. I believe that my life is too precious to lose because I was “in the wrong place, at the wrong time.”

That’s my story, I can’t wait to learn your method, and I sincerely hope I am never in a situation where I would need to use it. It’s like the old saying, “I rather have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.” Thank you for the DVD and I’ll email if I have any questions.

Thanks,

Casey L.

In this video I answer the question on “What if the person that is attacking you is wearing glasses?” My basic answer is that is does not matter. When attacked you will attack back in a more vicious and aggressive manner. The glasses will fall away or your adrenaline will make your fingers go through the glasses or sunglasses. At the same time you will be exposing additional vital targets. Check out my new dvd set at HowToKillWithYourHands (dot) com. Coach David Alexander

How to generate striking power: Ask Coach David

How to generate striking power: Ask Coach David. One of the ways to generate striking power is to get stronger by utilizing the big lifts such as squats, deadlifts, overhead presses and bench presses. When you get stronger, you can generate more force. Another way is to move your body weight, using a tool (elbow, knee, etc.) through a target of an attacker as shown in the video.

Ask Coach David: How do I strike the vagus Nerve? #2 (bat)

WARNING: You should never use what I teach unless you’re in a life or death situation! If you had a gun, would you pull the trigger? Actually, don’t ever use what I teach…you will kill someone!

In this episode of “Ask Coach David” I show a vagus nerve strike using a bat as the tool.  You can always substitute a bat with a club, tree branch, tire iron, etc… A bat is just a tool extender, which means you can reach a vital target on your about from a further distance. I am also demonstrating that I don’t always practice my B.E.T. “Target Based” Self Defense System (see at HowToSurviveAViolentAttack.com) right in front of somebody or the practice device I am using such as a heavy bag or body opponent bag (BOB). I also try to imagine different scenarios. One of the scenarios in this video is that I am imagining an attacker trying to kill a loved one and I come up from behind. I am not going to let my presence known, I am just going to swing the bat into the vagus nerve of the attacker in order to cause incapacitation, unconsciousness or death. If I get any of these results from my strike, then I can consider the attacker neutralized and can strike a second attacker, if necessary or leave the scene.

What is the vagus nerve? “The vagus nerve is a cranial nerve that also effects heart rate and blood pressure. When the Vagus nerve is struck it creates avaso-vagal reaction causing an immediate change in the central nervous system and a person will immediately have syncope which is a fancy word for passing out.”

Remember, you would only use my system if you had no other choice to survive the encounter/attack. My system is violence! You will need to be more violent than your attacker. Your attacker is not going to try and “fight” you, they are trying to kill you. Are you going to let that happen?

Ask Coach David: How do I strike the vagus nerve? #1 (hands)

WARNING: You should never use what I teach unless you’re in a life or death situation! If you had a gun, would you pull the trigger? Actually, don’t ever use what I teach…you will kill someone!

In this episode of “Ask Coach David” I show a vagus nerve strike using my hands & forearm as the tool.

What is the Vagus Nerve?  ”The vagus nerve is a cranial nerve that also affects heart rate and blood pressure.  When the Vagus nerve is struck it creates avaso-vagal reaction causing an immediate change in the central nervous system and a person will immediately have syncope which is a fancy word for passing out.”

You can use this strike from any direction.  Try not to get bogged down thinking of a technique, just smash the vagus nerve (side of neck), through a tool (forearm, hammer fist, edge of hand) with enough force to cause a somatic reflex or for them to end up unconscious, incapacitated or dead.

Remember, you would only use my system if you had no other choice to survive the encounter/attack.  My system is violence!  You will need to be more violent than your attacker.  Your attacker is not going to try and “fight” you, they are trying to kill you.  Are you going to let that happen?

Row Training with Coach David Alexander

Visit http://www.CoachDavidAlexander.com for more strength & conditioning tips.

This is a unique kind of barbell row. The gym I train at (Xtreme Fitness San Juan Island) has a t-bar row but the receiving end for the weights is too small. I would need to put on 45’s and then the range of motion will suffer. So this was my solution. I put on 35’s so I can add weight and still get a good range of motion. I needed to weight one side of the barbell or it would rise off the ground (see in video). I do this lift once a week and add 5 pounds every time. Have fun! Coach David Alexander
