"As you can see, the attacker has successfully fired his weapon puncturing my left lung. This is exactly what you want, now you have control as the attacker is in shock. You can now remove the attackers left lung bio mechanically and insert it in to yourself, no anesthesiologist or surgeon required because of bio mechanics. This intelligent option can improve your survivability and save your life"

Quick advice for the person who is committing a armed robbery: Don’t stand at a kissable distance from whoever you are robbing, they might have watched a self defense tiktok.

“you can’t win ‘em all” is the best advice i’ve seen in any yt self defense video. thanks for promoting public safety with this valuable information, gentlemen.

"I have practiced this one and I know what to do." **Pulls out gun.** Had me fucking dying dude.

Expert “I actually died”

Imagine disarming your attacker and you think youve won but he disarms you back because hes also watched this amazing self defense video

I love how all of Dale's advice assumes the attacker is both standing still, has no functioning hands, and is standing within a foot of you

I love the use of the fake gun being ACTUALLY fired to show that just because you KNOW what to do, are GOOD at it, and could have GREAT reaction time, you can still just be dead. A lot of those self-defense videos like the one we see at the beginning with the police officer makes people believe that they are immune because they know that one trick. Even a pro is still vulnerable.

Charlie: unlucky for you I took self defence training Killer with gun: *walks back two steps* Charlie: this guys good

I hope Dale never runs into a robber with a revolver, or a rifle, or a shotgun, or nunchucks, or a sword, or a taser, or two friends who also have firearms.

I love how none of Dale's "teachings" work if the attacker uses the main advantage guns offer... range.

10:01 is legitimately a good way to response to a knife attack

Dale's self defense techniques is the equivalent of your sibling saying they dodged all your attacks with their force field

I would be seriously questioning my life decisions if a 5’6 man was holding me at gunpoint while I was in my car asking me for my child

1:38 i love that you can see that the natural human reaction would be to pull the gun back making it ready to fire again

the sentence that instantly obliterates all of Dale's training; "i want you to take your wallet out and throw it over here, if you take a step anywhere i'll shoot you"

I love how ALL of Dale's tactics fail if the gunman is 5ft away

"I'm taking you to a secondary location!" That has to be one of the most threatening things I've ever heard in my life. Charlie really is an incredible actor.

The best part is Charlie being genuinely impressed by his friends techniques

Something to remember is that the recoil spring in real guns is waaay stronger than an airsoft one, it takes a lot more force to move the slide back. I was surprised by this the first time I shot a real pistol, I actually thought the slide was stuck for a moment when I first tried to chamber a round. It also won't lock back if there's more ammo left.

"I don't have arms, sir" is actually a really good method, because they'll just sit there trying to comprehend how you're driving a car and before they know it, you took their gun.

Can confirm as someone who died using those techniques, very realistic kudos to Charlie and his crew!

"Alright, first, you wanna get shot and die. This makes it easier for your attacker to do what they need. They also can't hurt you if you're already dead."

imagine holding someone at gunpoint and they just yell at you "YOU'RE OFLINE!"

"I'm taking your child." Father: *redirects gun towards child in back seat.*

This is legit a great lesson on how to get shot as many times as possible

1:20 this guy, just something about how he talks. And the way his finger tips are touching eachother is just so... i cant even describe it

I believe the gun slide stopping part isn't gonna do anything. Once that trigger is pulled the hammer goes and it will strike before reciprocating a new round into the chamber. all that does is save you from being shot twice.

I firmly believe that this guy got in a argument with a doctor and is just trying to send as much people to the hospital as possible just to annoy him

Dude makes self defense videos exactly how I imagine Dwight Schrute would.

I just like to imagine that both people have watched DUST, and so as soon as the victim takes the gun the other person just goes and does the exact same thing in a never ending loop

I had a Krav coach who I realised was legit in that there was no attempts to sugarcoat or bullshit any special techniques or moves and in a way it hurt the business as people wanted those easy confidence boosting things like that guy shows. I was interested in doing instructor training down so I was allowed to attend the military only class that couldn't do before and it was night and day difference. The civilian class deals with de-escalation and fitness and extremely selective direction for when force was reccomended. The idea for that class is that survival is the focus so verbal communication and best way comply with attackers is the main philosphy based on the idea that if someone who was going to kill you would do it from 10 meters away or further so they usually want something and only when they try to take you somewhere that force is considered or imminent threat to life. The other class was totally different and had the caveat that the hand to hand situation is totally different for soldiers and will almost certainly result in serious injury in some form or another for you and the opponent. The direction is that after the initial move, its pure violence that will win it rather than a clean disarm no-jutsu. I saw how seriously he meant about getting injuries when each scenario or exercise would follow medical practice for the most likely injuries for each one. I.e disarming a knife will almost always get you cut up or stabs as the actual techniques taught involve the use of blocking with a forearm and the retaliation by anyone trained is to drag the knife away and dig it into the flesh, opening it all up so once the fight is done, you have to torniquet and assess how much blood you have lost. There were even exercises that involve attempting to maim or cripple the opponent so that if they kill you, the next person who comes in can finish them off. It was gnarly, like CS GO entry fragging in real life.

This was actually so hilarious best quote. _"Well, ya can't win 'em all, maybe better luck next time"_

the only thing ive learned from dale's self defense class is that if i want to hold somebody at gun point, i should do it from a distance, preferably beyond arms length.

When he grabbed the barrel of the gun and Charlie stepped back, popped the 'mag' back in, and shot, I nearly spit my beer out 😂😂

2:10 speech got me liking

I want to see one of these self defense TikToks where some is pointing a gun at the guy through a car windows and the guy just slowly raises the window in response, it’d be about as effective as Dale’s techniques

Imagine trying to disarm a threat by using your hands to push it sideways but then it accidentally shoots a random person

I love how every single online self defense course assumes the assailant is not only immobile, but also within 3 inches of you

As someone who actually handles guns quite often and is around idiots who don't know what trigger discipline is, if you even flinch and the dude has that finger on the trigger he's gonna pull it before you can do anything. You have no idea how many times in the middle of explaining what trigger discipline is I just hear a 'click' followed by an "ooh oops" under someone's breath. It's a lot more funny when they've got the shotguns and they click much louder

Nr 1 way to not get shot: Give the robber your wallet.

Another thing is that so many of these scenarios are flashy and would happen in a movie, but are nothing like the self-defense situations people would actually find themselves in

On a completely real note, a friend of mine was in a car when someone ran up to his window with a gun and tried to rob him. My friend tried to grab the gun and take it. he was shot twice at close range, both bullets punctured his right lung and he died within minutes. These self defense tactics are incredibly unrealistic and dangerous. Thanks for showing exactly why they don’t work.

Caleb channeled that defense instructor energy fucking perfectly lol.

love how in the DUST videos the assailant always drops the weapon as soon as he touches it

Everyone loves to imagine that if they were to get mugged, they'd turn into John Wick and pull some cinematic action movie shit. But more realistically, most of this wouldn't work and almost anyone who'd try this in a real situation would just be giving themselves a death sentence.

Lol i wouldn't be surprised if dale said "fake a seizure so when the attacker goes to check your pockets, you'll have the element of surprise"

Dale needs to try out his techniques against someone he isn’t paying

Head goes forward, weapon goes up and back, bullet enters head.

"That's my purse, I don't know you" -Bobby Hill

“This entire video is a PSA on why people need fucking gun safety” Matt with the BIG W E; just wanted to clarify, as this is one of my biggest liked comments lmao, I live in England but 110% for 2A. Does something drastically need to be done, either to the vetting process or what guns are legally allowed to be sold for self defence so we decrease things like drive by shootings and school shootings? Absolutely. Is a gun one of the best deterrents to someone trying to break into your house, steal your car, rob you or sexually harass you? Damn straight

Game Theory: Dale is immortal but doesn't realize it. So he goes around sketchy alleyways practicing his "techniques" and getting shot every time. But since he's bullet-proof he always survives and now thinks that his moves actually work.

This whole operation goes caput after the shooter takes 1 step back

Former estsof member here, distance counters all of these half functional tactics. My instructor told us to have at least 1m of distance between my enemy's hands and my gun. Bonus points if he cannot see the gun directly. You have a ranged weapon, take advantage of it

Dale doesn’t take into account fear and adrenaline. You would not think “ah yea I just gotta roll my shoulder around this gun, easy peasy”

The moral of the story: If you're robbing or hijacking someone, don't hold your firearm within their immediate reach at all times.

11:07 "The Shrimp", as you call it, are called "Hip Escapes" in Jiu-Jitsu. I'm surprised you actually did it well, lol

Remember kids always shoot first and ask questions later.

Dales lessons work 100% of the time, as long as the aggressor isn't allowed to move.

These self defense things are theoretically possible; and my vietnam grandad actually disarmed a guy point blank at a bar once. But a 33% success chance or less is not worth risking your life over.

3:38 well there’s an advance technique right there pd: that moment made me cry

This gave me some decent Monday laughs. Thanks guys.

“If you are being attacked by someone who has a knife, let them stab you. This is exactly what you want, because now they don’t have a knife”

This video saved my life. I was in a situation where I was pointing a gun at an old lady at close distance but then I remembered this video and realised that she could disarm me and use my gun against me so I stepped away so she couldn't reach me anymore and shot her

At 11:24 as someone who does Jiu-Jitsu that is a warmup. Its called a "Hip-escape." You use it to escape mount, which is what he literally is teaching you is a mount escape.

Man am I glad I listened to the Campbell Urban Survival Training Against Robber Dudes. Really helped me to survive against a robber, dude.

Advanced shooter technique: If you are using a ranged weapon, you can use it as a distance!

Tried this myself, managed to fight off an attacker and make it out with only a few bullet wounds to the head and lungs Owe my life to these guys

The element of surprise is paramount for any of these techniques. It just comes down to whether your action or their reaction is faster.

2:26 “can’t win ‘em all” *me talking about being held at gun point*

Detroit urban survival actually has a great business model. Anyone who’s tried his moves is dead and can’t tell anyone it doesn’t work

Charlie really loves his fans he even wants to increase our survivability

The truth: Don't do any self defence technique If a guy with a gun tells you to give him your wallet, give it to him. Only if you know for sure he's about to shoot, then you should do something.

Imagine Charlie being a kung fu master with his hair in a ponytail and everything

"you moved the gun, that's not allowed" the sentence all the 'tactics' depend on

"Give me your child!" Charlie's Maximillianmus impression is spot-on. No wonder he's known as the stand out actor in the Hunger Games.

It so wholesome just some dudes having fun

I needed this lol thanks xD

The funniest part is "give me your child!" i have watched 1000's of clips of stuff like that, and charlie sure got the acting down well, haahah

Matt's "I have no arms" technique could quite possibly be the best self defense method there is

This was an incredible bruh moment. Cried of laughter, loved it!

To help the active shooter, he's having a hard time. 1. It helps to be more than 1 arms length away from your victim if you have a firearm. 2. Always carry a melee weapon, but a knife is always more personal. 3. Switching to your secondary is faster than reloading.

Literally all of these "techniques" fail immediately if the attacker just takes 2 steps back.

Imagine disarming this guy who had you driving at gunpoint....just for you to crash afterwards because your hands left the wheel

majority of these that involve pulling the slide out of battery would be way harder to do on a real gun, it's super easy to pull the slide back on a bb gun

The real issue with dale is that the person holding the gun is literally just standing there and letting him have it. Y’all are actually firing the pistol so when you hear the sound you know you’re blown away on that one. If dale did that he’d see how many times he’s a goner

I also love Dale's lack of explanation that a real handgun slide is a LOT harder to pull back than an airsoft gun.

These techniques absolutely work, if your attacker has the grip of a toddler and you happen to be bullet proof

reminds me of a video with a family (father, mother and daughter) doing this group pistol drill where they would constantly get in each other's way or get caught in a crossfire. i anyone finds it, you're a gentleman and a scholar

4:31 I really like how immediatley after he´s re-directing the gun straight to where childen us to sit.

The worst part is that all of these techniques rely on the shooter being dumb enough to get so close that they're literally pressing the barrel into you

I swear those self defense advice is actually a guide for life speedrun.

"i have practiced this so i know what to do" *casually pulls out a gun*

I love the idea that the robber is thinking of what they want WHILE robbing someone

I never realized how short Charlie is until he’s up next to someone he’s like a max level dwarf from a MMO RPG game

To be fair, literally any kind of counter will give you a decent chance if someone is holding you point-blank, Hollywood style. If you’re ever holding someone at gun point (in a defense situation), never get any closer than 20 feet. Police have learned from MANY instances that an attacker can easily cover shorter distances before being stopped. Point blank gives them easy access to your own gun, and it’s actually easier to dodge or run. Imagine being 20 feet away. You start running 3 feet left or right, they only have to move the barrel an inch. If you’re point blank, 3 feet is 3 feet.

I love how moist starts dodging and instructors like that’s an advanced technique. I immediately thought of DBZA Gohan X Piccolo dodge meme

"Disabling the firearm" only works that way if it has a hammer. They're using a striker fire weapon, and pushing the slide back will have no effect on the weapon being able to fire.

Assuming he actually has an audience in Detroit someone has 100% died trying this shit

They not only learned every single self-defence technique known humankind, they also achieved Nirvana and became immortals
