The Subway Defence Technique, as taught by Vee AJ Jitsu's Professor David across three instructional videos, emphasizes awareness, positioning, and pragmatic responses to common transit threats. The core principle centers on maintaining positional dominance through hand placement and body mechanics rather than flashy techniques. When seated and approached by an aggressor, the defender should lean forward with elbows on thighs to control distance and prevent close engagement, avoiding the vulnerable posture of sitting with back to wall and legs spread. All three videos stress that awareness—never becoming distracted or surprised—is the best defense. When confronted while seated, the technique prioritizes groin strikes followed by joint manipulation and escape, with Professor David emphasizing that defenders should not attempt complex martial arts moves during high-stress encounters. The second video addresses the scenario of an aggressor sitting nearby on an empty train, recommending that the defender initiate contact by offering belongings to establish arm control, then exploit that connection with leg techniques and strikes rather than allowing the aggressor to dictate range. The third video focuses on the shoulder-to-shoulder confrontation resulting from accidental contact, teaching that when hands are positioned unfavorably overhead, the defender should feign submission, back away slowly, then execute palm strikes, eye rakes, and groin attacks from a non-threatening posture. Throughout all three teachings, Professor David emphasizes body mechanics over skill complexity, the importance of controlling hand position, and the psychological component of self-belief and training commitment.

Awareness
According to Vee AJ Jitsu, you should slightly lean forward with your elbows on your thighs. This positioning prevents someone from getting too close to you, since they'll need to maintain eye contact and won't be comfortable approaching further. Avoid sitting with your back to the wall or with your legs spread wide, as these positions trap you and make it difficult to get up quickly.
Vee AJ Jitsu emphasizes that from a seated position with good posture (leaning forward), you can effectively lunge and strike the groin. When the attacker's hands go to their groin in response, you can then use body mechanics to press on a joint and get up safely, rather than trying to stand and confront them face-to-face.
If someone grabs your bag with two hands, Vee AJ Jitsu recommends giving it to them with two hands while simultaneously controlling their arm. Since your legs are longer than their arm, you can then attack their legs and face while maintaining control, rather than letting go and allowing them to pull away.
Vee AJ Jitsu stresses that the best self-defense technique is to never get caught by surprise—stay aware, stay alert, and always be ready. Understanding positioning and body mechanics is more important than learning complex techniques.
The Subway Defence Technique adapts Krav Maga principles for the unique environment of subway cars and platforms, addressing confined spaces and crowd dynamics.
Krav Maga was developed by Imi Lichtenfeld for the Israeli Defence Forces and refined for civilian self-defence. Subway Defence Technique addresses real-world attack scenarios.
