It's a blatant sales pitch for his site, but the video itself is a good summary of what I'd consider common sense advice.

The best martial art is clearly America-do-te
I thought this had already been confirmed. Why are we bothering to have another thread when America-do-te has proven time and time again that it is the greatest martial art that will ever exist?

The best martial art is the one you train hard in and have built up a competent capability in. Some are more optimized for some things then others, but all the older arts are predicated on self defense in a deadly force situation.

Wisdom passed on by Grandmaster Sven S. Svenson:

"it's better to stand and fight because if you run, you'll only die tired".​

{Oh and the Viking Berzerker site? ... favourited :D}.

Plus.. if you run away as a coward you go to dark gloomy snake-infested Hel when you die, not glorious Valhalla where you can feast, fight and party with Valkyries all night long!
Another reason to embrace the Viking Way, hmm?

Cheating often works good in a self-defense situation. Such as keeping pepper spray or a taser on you.

I've run from many fights and I never died tired. Anyone who thinks I am a coward for running is simple minded.

I am sure noone is thinking that - just to check, everyone is clear that that Viking martial arts site is a joke aren't they?

I haven't looked through it all yet but they may do some re-enactment or re-interpreted weapon techniques from the period but all that interview malarkey is purely spoof.

Hey! How dare you insult the VMA!! I'll have you know, I'm an 11th degree black belt, and just mastered the use of the secret thunder abilities of the warhammer that no one alive but me and Grandmaster Sven know about! **** I was supposed to keep that a secret...
