00:00Yeah, once he's on switch, ending range, you have hand technique range, close quarters,
00:06which is knee kick, the basic, another range, the side kick, position four,
00:13the option of going, yeah, all right, for the demonstration, Marco, along with two of his
00:22students, who he will introduce, will go over some of the techniques and moves that he's
00:27developed over the years and he has learned. Hopefully, these guys will walk out okay.
00:33Just so you guys don't harm me, like I say every week, please don't try these moves at
00:36home. It's important that you seek instruction of any, of some kind, before you attempt any
00:41of these moves, making sure that you don't hurt yourself or hurt the person you're training
00:44with. Okay, so I'm going to let Marco take it from here.
00:47Os?
00:48Initially, what I want to start out with, in the martial arts, there are many different kinds
00:53of fighting techniques. And a lot of times, they are more adapted to certain body types.
00:57For example, Robert here, who's a little bit taller, he's got long legs, kicking techniques
01:02might favor him in a fighting situation. For example, from here, you can use the lead leg,
01:07front kicks, roundhouse kicks. Here, he can switch kick, switch roundhouse kick, this type
01:12of thing. So his legs can become a very effective weapon at that particular fighting range.
01:17Okay, next, Dennis here, who's also an instructor at the New Rochelle Boys and Girls Club. He's
01:25a little smaller, so he has to focus more on accuracy and speed in his techniques. So we're
01:29going to work on, for example, jab, one-two punch to the body, switch, roundhouse kick.
01:35So take the jab to the face, one-two, and roundhouse kick. Again, jab, one-two, switch, and kick.
01:42So you can see here how much speed and accuracy plays an essential role in fighting.
01:45Okay, and also, on the subject here now of various fighting techniques, techniques are
01:51normally broken down into ranges, as you're aware of.
01:53Like the mid-range, short-range, long-range, and so forth.
01:56Right.
01:56So it's basically broken down into four ranges. Okay, you have the kicking range, kicking range
02:03here, you have hand technique range, you have close quarters, which is knee kicks, and then
02:08of course, you have the basic ground-fighting range, which you can follow-
02:13Take downs and so forth, right.
02:14Absolutely. So, but what I like to usually inform my students of, for example, in the
02:19hand-fighting range here, it can be broken down into a lot of intermediate ranges. Okay?
02:23For example, you have the eye gouging here. Then you have a half-fist, which can be targeted
02:28towards the throat. You have the forefist, okay? You have the wrist technique. You have
02:34a forearm shot here. You have the shoulder. So even just within the punching range, hand-fighting
02:39range, we're looking at already five different intermediate ranges within hand-fighting.
02:44And these are all practical because they're very quick movements, those vital areas, and
02:49taking the opponent down with basically that one-punch deal, which is to eliminate having
02:53to go into a long, drawn-out confrontation.
02:55Right. Or at least distract the opponent and go into some more of the complex-
02:58Or to get out, either way. Yeah.
03:00Or to run. Yeah.
03:01Because that's really the primary thing. In self-defense, of course, you know, the main
03:05factors is awareness or awareness and preparedness. That's the first rule of self-defense. As you
03:11keep getting closer and closer to, you know, a situation, that's where skill level comes in.
03:16Okay? Thank you, Robert.
03:18Whoops.
03:19Also, to continue on that range aspect, okay, even kicking range, which is delegated as one
03:24range, you have the ball of foot, right, using this part of the foot right here. You have
03:31the instep, okay, which is another range. This position here. You have the heel for the side
03:37kicks. This position here. So already you're looking at ball, instep, heel, right, and then
03:43you have shin. So even within kicking range, we're looking at maybe four or five, six different
03:47intermediate ranges for fighting techniques. And again, all effective, all practical.
03:51All practical. Again, what I want to, getting into the dilemma that instructors face, what
03:56can I teach Robert? What can I teach you? What can I teach a student as he walks into
04:00school that he can use almost immediately? What's the first thing he'd do if something
04:03happened to him? Right.
04:04Someone came and said, hey, I'm going to come and get you or push him or something.
04:06What can he do? Right. Precisely. So that's why we learn a lot of the basic stuff, striking
04:10techniques, punching techniques, for example, one-two punch, punches, again, kicks, kicking
04:15techniques, okay, from here. And then as time goes on, you develop the confidence level
04:20in these techniques. We work into other areas of fight, right? Robert, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh,
04:25okay. Getting into the next range, okay, just throw a punching technique here. From here,
04:30we have many different ranges. Now we're getting inside. Here, close elbow techniques. Knees,
04:36right, take down. From here, then we can work into ground fighting range, okay, from this position.
04:42And from this position. Now with ground fighting, you have two different options. You can continue
04:46striking from this position here, or, just move up a little bit of this, you have the option
04:51of going into different types of- That arm lock, right.
04:54From here, wrist techniques, or what have you. Okay, so, martial arts training has many different
05:01aspects to it. I like to think that karate is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to
05:07martial arts training. Or if we go back, maybe a thousand or two thousand years, you have the
05:12generic term of jiu-jitsu. Jiu-jitsu basically means unarmed combat. And that can involve even
05:17stick fighting, knife fighting, or what have you, okay. Also, talking about different ranges,
05:22I showed you before, okay, the sayonage, which is the one-armed throw. Again, Dennis, in this position here,
05:29Morote sayonage, which is using- The hip there, right. Again, you can go into wrist techniques,
05:36from this position here, the various arm locks, continue finishing here. Which is where you
05:41combine the jiu-jitsu with the karate together here. Exactly. And like you said, the tip of the iceberg
05:44was karate, now you combine it all into one. Precisely. Trying to bring out the roots
05:48of martial arts training. Exactly. Now, as far as trying to put the techniques together, okay,
05:54we do, any time we spar, we normally work on what I call 50% power. Okay, Robert, just do some
06:00light low kicks and punches. Okay, now follow up, also. Good. Now, from here, we try to learn how to
06:18put combinations together. That was only 50%, remember. 50% power.
06:24Okay, Dennis, do it with just low kicks. Okay, ready? And go.
06:32Now, you notice, sometimes I use just my body weight to block the technique. His low kick comes,
06:37I'm going to shift my weight forward. Deflecting it, kind of. Using that deflection there.
06:40Exactly. Or, he kicks, I can evade, which leaves him vulnerable.
06:44For your takedowns. Take downs, or what have you. Do the strike and so forth.
06:47Exactly. That's incredible. Also, two more factors. Okay.
06:52You have what's called the sucker punch. You hear that a lot. Right.
06:56The definition of the sucker punch is that you don't see it. So, there's theoretically no defense for it.
07:01That's where awareness comes in. You must be aware. Also, headlocks. Okay, we always see headlocks
07:06from this position. The typical headlock. Too late.
07:09People try to sucker punch up in the head and everything. So, I get out of that.
07:12Too late sometimes. Right. So, awareness is the key. If he goes for a headlock,
07:15and I'm just aware of a threat. Okay. I'm ready for it.
07:19You took it out already. Right.
07:20It's amazing. And the way you described everything here, putting it together, the awareness and the attitude,
07:24knowing that, hey, before I get into the competition, I'm going to block him out,
07:27I'm going to strike him back. I'm going to stop him before he even gets that far.
07:30Exactly.
07:31You know, kind of like do like a little premonition or what's that, like knowing that, you know,
07:36ESP there. Knowing that something's going to happen and deflecting it.
07:39That's one of the highest levels of martial arts training.
07:41That's great.
07:42Trying to sense what your opponent's doing. And I think that's possible through kata training.
07:46Right.
07:47And a lot of sparring or randori in the class.
07:48You just saw it here.
07:49Okay.
