Video 1: Okay, sometimes I even think I am weird. I heard that musical introduction in a dream early this morning. I thought CBS program introduction. I am pretty certain there is no way I have heard it recently while awake. Searching on You Tube, it was the CBS Special Presentation introduction from the 1970's until the early 1990's. Some You Tube commenters were mentioning it often was placed before a Charlie Brown Christmas Special. It seems to me, I may have seen that take place as child or adult and reasoned that the intro was way over the top macho (masculine and aggressive) for those goofy Charlie Brown kids. Yes, that seems like an old thought...(I do like those old animated films)
Pondering, it seems to me that introduction would work well with a Planet of the Apes, film (not a favourite).
Video 2: TikTok- The presenter has skills, but personally, I would use a double handed grab/block of the attacking arm. Simultaneously, I would attempt to strike the attacker in the head, or neck, with my right elbow, turning in a side stance similar to the one demonstrated in the video. I would then use a technique to have the weapon removed (arm lock or wrist lock, most likely) and follow up with a rear naked choke or guillotine choke. I might also use knee strikes to the mid-section and groin areas.
I have zero interest in attempting to hold or pin someone in a real life, self-defence situation. Remember that nowadays, a person could easily be facing multiple opponents, and multiple armed opponents. The video is funny, but I have no intention of ever using violence against a female, and that includes non-physical violence. Love your neighbour as self (Matthew 22, Mark 12, Luke 10, Galatians 5).
