Top Comments of this video!! :3
I have loved this channel ever since the breakdown of the knife fight in The Man From Nowhere. Such an underrated Korean action/thriller movie. Anyone that promotes that movie to Western audiences will have my undying support. With that said, I was really looking forward to this video, and as always, y'all did not disappoint! Great stuff, guys.

Good commentary. Still, there are a few more things I'd consider:
1) Speaking of Uma defending herself with both legs: what stopped Vivica from going Batman on her legs? Under which conditions is it advisable to swipe them aside and when better go for an ankle lock?
2) About entering the kitchen with a poker: I'd certainly be better than being unarmed, but assuming that Vivica ambushes Uma around the corner, it would be all too easy for her to grab the poker before she gets room to swing it...
3) The frying pan could be supported with the other hand and used like a shield. You can even use the other hand to flick a heavy cast iron pan out similar to a backhand strike. There's a good chance that the collision would knock the knife out of the hand and potentially break her hand, but also lose the pan...
4) That fencing stance can be found throughout medieval imagery irrespective of whether it's grappling, dagger, stick, or sword fighting. It's probably not the most conducive to fast lunges, but it keeps the vitals further away and they used to shift their weight between the legs very fast and lean in and out of attacks (if you want to learn more about being mobile in this stance, look up explanations for the concepts of key, and volta in HEMA). Thus, it's not that bad at defense. In some way, it reminds me of the Karate stance. Their punches with a step forward are also really slow, but when you assume that they try to punch someone who is actually holding a weapon, then I can understand why they want to step in and out... (still, a low percentage play)

Damn the whole "timing" and "ambush" bit really spoke to me as someone still learning self defense, I'm a very paranoid person and often find myself clutching my knife or readying myself to grab it when I begin to feel threatened, after hearing this I feel I will be alot more at ease and less likely to wrongly go for my weapon knowing that deploying and brandishing the blade right away isn't always the best option. Thank you for the advice in this video!!!

7:24 something about this moment really crystalizes why I enjoy this channel. There was a lot of non-verbal communication between Chad and Logan when Chad adjusted the choke grip. It's moments like these that show their expertise in their craft.

Another stellar breakdown, and I love how Logan looked so happy with himself at 7:15

Thank you all so much for the constant support! Make sure to comment, like and share for more longform. Should Quentin Tarantino make a Kill Bill: Volume 3 with Nikki (Vernita Green’s daughter) getting revenge on Kiddo (The Bride)?
