00:00I'd like to state that no braineese or insects were harmed in the making of this program,
00:03and that none of the training you're about to see be attempted unless under expert supervision.
00:09Eight braineese, one challenge.
00:11To use complex mass of 100 billion cells we call Brain for chance to win Brain Jutsu Black Brain Belt.
00:19This is Brain Jutsu.
00:27Born in Lancashire, trained in Japan, with mind as sharp as Samurai sword,
00:33he is Brain Master, he is the Sensei.
00:37Konnichiwa, and welcome to Brain Jutsu.
00:42Mental training specially designed to boost brain power and focus.
00:46My trainees, or braineese, have been following a basic program of training in the comfort of their own home.
00:53A brain-boosting routine of exercise, sleep, and enough fruit and veg to stock a greengrocer's.
01:01Well, I think I'm going to win the black belt. I'm actually quite nervous.
01:08I feel a bit more confident knowing that I've prepared because I did most of the tasks.
01:11My strength is maths, and I won a prize, so I really think that's going to help me in the
01:15dojo,
01:16because I really want to win.
01:17Now my braineese must put their training into practice.
01:20By testing a part of their brain we use every day.
01:24Level one.
01:25You're no fault!
01:28Take a look at my very cluttered garage.
01:31Now, try to find the little rubber duck.
01:34Spotted, eh?
01:35Congratulations!
01:36You've just used your occipital lobes.
01:39This area, the seeing part of our brain, allows us to recognise and separate images from each other.
01:46The seven braineese, who use their occipital lobes the best,
01:49will be allowed to enter my brain jitsu dojo, where their training will continue.
01:54The one who fails will be left outside.
01:58Oh!
01:58Feel the burn.
02:00Enter the dojo!
02:05Our braineese must answer four questions by studying the different football team kits on the board in front of them.
02:12Get them right, and they'll be left with a four-digit code,
02:15which they must then use to unlock a piece of brain and secure their place in the dojo.
02:20But with only seven pieces of brain and eight braineese,
02:24one of either Elliot, Cara, Max, Jackie, Oscar, Priscilla, Alex or Ben,
02:30will be left outside and eliminated.
02:35A bang of the gong reveals the four questions.
02:46How many have horizontal striped tops?
02:56How many have vertical striped tops?
02:59How many have vertical striped tops?
03:09How many have black shorts?
03:15The answer our braineese are looking for is 2477.
03:21The order in which they unlock their piece of brain
03:24will decide the order our braineese take part in the levels to come.
03:32Jackie is first off her stool,
03:34with the rest of her braineese not far behind.
03:39But with no more pieces of brain left,
03:42Elliot is having to wait his turn.
03:45And it's Alex who's first to unlock a piece of brain,
03:48quickly followed by Elliot,
03:49who's got his chance after all and made it count.
03:54Meanwhile, Jackie, first off her stool,
03:57is first to return.
03:58A code clearly wrong.
04:02Don't forget that code is 2477,
04:06as there are two kits with green shorts,
04:08four with horizontal striped tops,
04:11seven with vertical striped tops,
04:13and seven with black shorts.
04:17No problems for Oscar,
04:19as he becomes the third braineese to go through.
04:24But holy karaoke,
04:26Ben is getting his brain in the right old twist.
04:30Come on, Ben,
04:31keep your focus and work those occipital lobes.
04:35With Max now through,
04:37Ben finally cracks that combination,
04:39leaving just the girls to battle it out
04:41for the last two places in the dojo.
04:45Priscilla and Cara both think they've got the right combination,
04:48but while Cara's lock pops open,
04:51Priscilla has to return to the noodle bar
04:52for yet another look at the board.
04:55It's now a two-horse race between her and Jackie.
05:00Jackie taking her time.
05:06And it pays off,
05:07which means that Jackie's in
05:09and poor old Priscilla is out.
05:12While seven have proven themselves worthy
05:14of entering the dojo
05:15and continuing their brain training,
05:17for Priscilla,
05:18it's the end of the road.
05:25I think I just got under pressure
05:27and I'm not very good under pressure
05:29and I just felt like I had to go quickly
05:32and I just counted one more
05:35than there should have been.
05:37So, with six levels to go,
05:39it's time for Alex, Elliot, Oscar, Max, Ben, Cara and Jackie
05:45to receive their yellow brain belts.
05:47Well, normally I'm really calm,
05:49but this time this pressure really got to me.
05:51It was very worrying when it was just Priscilla and I
05:53because I was really hoping that I wouldn't be the one
05:56to go out in the first round.
05:59Well, I feel really, really happy about coming first.
06:02I'm also a bit nervous about the next game
06:04because if that was only the first level,
06:06I'm a little bit worried.
06:09Rain Titu!
06:11In this next level of training,
06:13things are going to get really hard.
06:16Level two.
06:17Orange Vault!
06:20We do things every day without even thinking about it,
06:23like using the remote control for the telly.
06:25But try turning up the volume with the hand
06:29that you don't normally use.
06:30Go on, a lot more harder, isn't it?
06:33If you manage to do that,
06:34you're using part of your brain
06:36that deals with problem solving,
06:37the frontal lobes.
06:39And that's what level two is all about.
06:42Taking something you normally do without thinking
06:45and doing it differently.
06:47Work it!
06:48To prepare them for using their frontal lobes
06:51in the next challenge,
06:52my brainees are going to need some training.
06:54Room of Mental Nourishment.
06:58This is the Room of Mental Nourishment
07:01where our young hopefuls
07:02will train their brains between every task.
07:04The more seriously they take their training,
07:06the better prepared they'll be
07:07for the challenges that lie ahead.
07:09And in level two,
07:11that challenge is all about getting their brains
07:13to think in a new way.
07:16Brain training.
07:17Take turns to call out the action on your cards.
07:19Everyone must do it only when you say
07:21Sensei says before the action.
07:24So, our brainees must think about something,
07:26like following a simple instruction,
07:28that they'd normally do without thinking.
07:31Sensei says rub stomach clockwise.
07:35Right knee up.
07:39Almost immediately,
07:40Alex gets his brain in a right old twist.
07:43Ironman.
07:44Touch right ear.
07:45And he's not the only one
07:46whose frontal lobes are struggling to keep up.
07:49Sensei says touch mouth with right hand.
07:53Okay, look happy.
07:56Max!
07:58Max too has also got in a muddle.
08:00Time for a training tip.
08:03Tip.
08:04Don't rush.
08:06Pause for two seconds to think before you react.
08:08Top tip.
08:09You see,
08:10spending a moment to think
08:11before rushing in
08:12really can improve your all-round focus.
08:15Sensei says rub stomach clockwise.
08:17Top wise.
08:18So,
08:19how will our brainees cope this time?
08:22Turn head right.
08:24Sensei says touch left shoulder.
08:26Hey,
08:26there's no fooling this lot.
08:27Sharp as samurai swords they are.
08:29Left knee up.
08:32Sensei says touch your nose with left hand.
08:35Hang on,
08:36didn't you just say left hand,
08:37Kara?
08:38Don't.
08:39Thought so.
08:43It was fun.
08:44It was good training.
08:45But,
08:45um,
08:46I think the actual task
08:48is going to be a lot,
08:49yeah,
08:50it's,
08:51it's,
08:51it's,
08:52it's going to be a lot harder.
08:53But this was good training for it.
08:54Kara has made quite a lot of mistakes,
08:56but she's probably learnt
08:58a lot from them
08:59and she'll,
09:00she'll go far.
09:01So,
09:02will Kara learn from her mistakes?
09:04Or will it be able Alex
09:05who'll once again commit on top?
09:07It's time for our brainees
09:09to put their training
09:10to the test.
09:12Guardian of the dojo
09:13and task adjudicator the Sheehan
09:15will now demonstrate
09:16the level two challenge.
09:18Spell backwards.
09:19Step forward.
09:21To stand chance
09:22of gaining orange belt,
09:24seven brainees
09:24must now think in reverse.
09:26Sheehan will show them picture.
09:28They have to say what is.
09:30That is cut.
09:31Then,
09:32they spell word backwards.
09:34T.
09:35A.
09:35C.
09:37Get right
09:38and our brainees
09:39can step forward.
09:40Get wrong
09:41and they stay put.
09:43Brainees can choose
09:44length of word
09:45they want to spell backwards.
09:47Longer word,
09:48more time they get to answer.
09:49Three seconds
09:50for three letter word,
09:51up to six seconds
09:52for six letters.
09:54More letters,
09:55more steps
09:56towards destination.
09:58There is slight advantage
09:59to going first
10:00in challenge,
10:00but order brainees
10:02take part
10:02is order
10:03they complete
10:04at level one.
10:05Whoever not finished
10:06will be eliminated
10:07from the dojo.
10:09My brainy tip here
10:11is to imagine
10:11the whole word
10:12and then
10:13break it down
10:14into groups of letters.
10:16Who?
10:16Who?
10:17Work those frontal lobes.
10:21First to put their
10:22brain training
10:23to the test
10:23is Abel Alex
10:24who immediately
10:25goes for the maximum.
10:27Six letter word,
10:28please.
10:29Hammer.
10:31R-E-M-M-E-M-E-M-E-M-E-M-E-M-E.
10:47I-I-P.
10:50No such problems
10:51for Elliot.
10:53Six letter word,
10:55please.
10:56Like Alex,
10:56Oscar's also
10:57gone for broke.
10:58A risky strategy.
11:00Candle.
11:02E-L-D-N-A-C.
11:07But it looks like
11:08his training
11:08has paid off.
11:11Six letter word,
11:13please.
11:15Rocket.
11:16T-E-K-C-E-R.
11:21That's nothing
11:22for Max.
11:24Six letter word,
11:25please.
11:26Spider.
11:27R-E-P-E-M-E-M-E-M-E-M-E-M-E-M-E-M-E-M-E
11:34-M-E-M-E-M-E-M-E-M-E.
11:34Ben also scores
11:35Nix
11:35with six.
11:36Six letter word,
11:37please.
11:38It's now the girl's turn
11:39starting with
11:39Cara.
11:41Window.
11:41W-O-U-M-E-M-E-M-E-M-E-M-E-M-E-M-E-M-E-M
11:43-E-M-E-M-E.
11:46Jacket also decides to stretch her frontal lobes and goes for the big one.
11:50Six-letter word, please.
11:53Pencil. L-I-C-N-E-P.
11:58And that's six steps. It's now back to Alex. Can he get off the mark this time?
12:05Six-letter word, please.
12:08Badger. R.
12:11Hurry up, Alex.
12:12E.
12:13Oh dear, you're out of time.
12:17Six-letter word, please.
12:19Anchor. R-O-H-C-A.
12:23No joy for Elliot either.
12:26Six-letter word.
12:29Rabbit.
12:30T-I-B-B-A-R.
12:34But another six-letter word for Oscar and he becomes the first brainy to go through.
12:41He was soon followed by the two girls.
12:45BAM!
12:47Which leaves Alex, Elliot, Max and Ben to battle it out for those remaining orange belts.
12:54Three more correct answers and the pressure's now on Ben to get his first score.
12:58Six-letter word, please.
13:01Toilet.
13:02L-O-T-E-L-I-O-T.
13:09Out of time yet again.
13:11The big six-letter word getting the better of our brainies.
13:16With Elliot and Max now through, Ben will need a miracle if he's to remain in the dojo.
13:22Four-letter word, please.
13:24Drum.
13:26M-U-R-D.
13:28At last.
13:29But if Alex gets this, then it's going to be sayonara for Ben.
13:33Three-letter word, please.
13:35Box.
13:36X-O-B.
13:39That's it.
13:40It's all over.
13:42While Alex stays in, Ben must hand over his brain belt and leave the dojo.
13:52Walk of eternal regret.
13:56So the brain training was quite easy and I felt really confident.
14:00Well, I guess I was overconfident when I went to the task.
14:07So with five levels to go, it's time for Alex, Elliot, Oscar, Max, Cara and Jackie to get their orange
14:14brain belts.
14:16It's really exciting and I was quite scared.
14:19I thought that I'd get something wrong, but luckily I didn't.
14:24In the brain training, I've done a lot of mistakes, but I've obviously learnt from it because in the task
14:29I came second.
14:30It's not easy and this is only the second tasks and there's still many more to go.
14:37So it's going to keep on getting harder and harder and harder.
14:42Rain-ty-two.
14:46Brainy, not so brainy.
14:49Who's the clever clogs and whose brain needs a lot more training?
14:53Picture the scene.
14:54It's 250 years ago and a lad called Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is only six years old.
15:00And already playing the Alpsichord, composing amazing music and performing it to the empress of Austria.
15:05But did he stop there?
15:06No, he did not.
15:08He only went on to write another 600 major works.
15:10Not bad for someone who only lived to the age of 35.
15:14Wolfgang-tastic.
15:16Around the same time, a French writer called Jean-Baptiste Vivienne de Chateaubranne
15:20spent 40 years perfecting just two measly plays.
15:23And if that weren't bad enough, just as he's on the point of finishing them,
15:26his housekeeper goes and mistakes the manuscripts for wrapping paper
15:29and puts the kibosh on his life's work.
15:32Gutted.
15:33Brainy, Mozart.
15:34Not-so-brainy Jean-Baptiste.
15:39Brain Jitsu.
15:43Pressure in Brain Jitsu Dojo rising.
15:45Just six young hopeful remain to compete under what's for eye of Sheehan.
15:51Able Alex, first to make it into Dojo.
15:54I feel really, really happy about coming first.
15:57Leek Elliot.
15:59Kara, good at spelling backwards.
16:00I've done a lot of mistakes, but I've obviously learnt from it
16:04because in the task I came second.
16:06Max, quietly confident.
16:08Jackie, get stronger all time.
16:10I feel a bit more confident knowing that I've prepared
16:13because I did most of the tasks.
16:15And Oscar, winner of last level.
16:18Challenge is about to get even tougher.
16:21Only 2, Brady will make final test.
16:24Table of Supreme Forecast.
16:25Where must move a ball with power of mind
16:28to win Brain Jitsu Black Brain Belt
16:31is time for...
16:33Level 3.
16:35Who is that?
16:36Now, we all like to chat,
16:39but did you know that using words to communicate
16:41is one of the main reasons why our brains have grown so incredibly powerful?
16:46And that having a conversation exercises both halves of the brain.
16:51Now, if all that's doing your head in,
16:53allow me to explain.
16:55Imagine you're the trumpet player in an orchestra.
17:00Your main focus is on your own notes,
17:02but the conductor, well, he has to listen for everyone's notes.
17:07It's the same with the brain.
17:09There's the left half, which deals with the details,
17:12and there's the right half, which looks at the overall picture.
17:15This next level of training strengthens my brainy's focus
17:19by working one half of their brain under pressure.
17:23Hey, pump it up!
17:25Room of Mental Nourishment.
17:31It's our brainy's second visit to the Room of Mental Nourishment,
17:34where once again they'll train for their next challenge,
17:37which, remember, is all about using the two halves of the brain
17:40to communicate.
17:43Get into pairs.
17:44Direct the blindfolded brainy
17:46to stack the blocks using only one hand.
17:50So, while one brainy uses the right side of their brain
17:54to give instructions,
17:55their partner must use the left side of their brain
17:58to interpret them.
18:00Put them two facing the same way.
18:03Alex is certainly giving Elliot instructions.
18:06Lots and lots of them, in fact.
18:08Well done.
18:08Now put it next to it.
18:10Next to it.
18:11Nope.
18:12Nope.
18:12The other way.
18:13Lengthways.
18:14Lengthways next to it.
18:15No.
18:16Now.
18:16But they're not making much sense.
18:18And the boys' tower block is struggling to get off the ground floor.
18:21Two more.
18:22Yeah.
18:22No, a bit more to the right.
18:24Move it a bit.
18:25To the right, a bit more.
18:26Here, you see the one on the side of your hand?
18:28Well, you don't see it.
18:29That's not a lot of help, Jackie.
18:31Kara's wearing a blindfold, remember?
18:32Lock.
18:33To the right a bit.
18:35Forward a bit.
18:36Yeah.
18:36And now just rest it down lightly.
18:39Carefully does it, Kara.
18:42What our guiders need to do is imagine the information their teammates need.
18:46Because good communication means putting yourself in somebody else's shoes.
18:51Just a little bit.
18:53While I'm not sure the girls' tower would stand up to a strong wind,
18:56it's definitely proof that Jackie and Kara are communicating well.
19:01Backwards.
19:02Oh, well, don't mind.
19:04Yeah, I found this training quite easy,
19:07so hopefully in the task I'll do quite well.
19:10You didn't say turn it to the left or clockwise.
19:12You just said turn it, so I didn't know which way to turn it.
19:15I thought I was doing OK.
19:17I know I did give you quite a few wrong directions.
19:21It kind of came together.
19:23It really just found anything that we could
19:26and tried to, as it were, work with that.
19:29It was not very planned, perhaps, but it worked.
19:34So, will careful Kara be just as careful in the next task?
19:38And will able Alex remember that sometimes it pays to talk less?
19:43It's time to find out,
19:44as our six now put the communication train in to the test.
19:49Lantern work number crack!
19:51This is a test of communication skill.
19:54So, six brainy must first divide into teams of two by drawing chopsticks.
20:03As quickly as possible,
20:05teams must whack open six lanterns,
20:07containing number that go together to form some.
20:10Pairs first need to decide who is Guider,
20:13who is Whacker.
20:15Whackers will be blindfolded,
20:17and will be relying on Guider to locate lanterns.
20:21When all six are opened,
20:23brainies stop clock by shouting,
20:25Brinjitsu!
20:27Quicker they whack lanterns,
20:28more time they have to pick up numbers,
20:31and work out some.
20:32When brainies are happy with answer,
20:34hit gong!
20:36First two teams to provide correct answer,
20:38get green belts,
20:40and advance to next level.
20:41One brainy from losing team will be eliminated.
20:45The key to success here
20:47is for the Guider to use the right side of their brain
20:50to follow their teammates' progress
20:52and give them clear instructions.
20:54For their partner,
20:56it's vital they use the left side of their brain
20:59to focus on these instructions and nothing else.
21:04Forward one step.
21:06First to test their communication skills are Elliot and Max.
21:10Whack.
21:13With Guider Elliot working the right side of his brain
21:16and Max the left,
21:17the boys get off to a slow but steady start.
21:20To their left.
21:22Bit more.
21:24Whack.
21:26Forward.
21:27But then they begin to pick up the pace.
21:29A little bit.
21:31Whack.
21:34Whack.
21:35Brain Jitsu.
21:36The pair stop the clock in one minute, 12 seconds,
21:39but they'll have to wait to find out
21:41how much extra time it's bought them to make their sum.
21:46OK, go forward a little bit.
21:48Next is careful Cara and Abel Alex.
21:50Whack.
21:50In training, Alex was guilty of giving too much information.
21:54Move right a bit.
21:55Right a bit more.
21:57Whack.
21:58Will he make the same mistake twice?
22:01Back a little bit more.
22:03Whack.
22:05Not a bit of it.
22:06With Alex's help,
22:07Cara is whacking those lanterns faster than a samurai on skates.
22:11Whack.
22:12Right a bit.
22:14Whack.
22:15Brain Jitsu.
22:17Stopping the clock in a whack-tastic 39 seconds.
22:20Well done.
22:22One step forward.
22:25Right.
22:26To your right.
22:27To your right.
22:27Last to go are Oscar and Jackie.
22:30With Oscar doing the guiding,
22:31it looks like he's also remembered his training,
22:33giving Jackie clear and precise instructions.
22:37And whack.
22:39Um, forward, about a step.
22:42Um, and whack.
22:45Backwards, about half a step.
22:49Um, left a bit.
22:51Um, whack.
22:54Hey, Brain Jitsu.
22:55That's the last lantern,
22:56and it's a decent time,
22:58just one minute, seven seconds.
23:00But it's nowhere near as quick as Cara and Alex,
23:03and it's they who set off first to find their numbers.
23:07Here's what our braineese are looking for.
23:09Let's see.
23:11See if you can work out the sum.
23:13Remember, the first two teams to work it out
23:15will go through to the next level.
23:20Cara and Alex are first to bang the gong,
23:23just ahead of Oscar and Jackie,
23:25with Elliot and Max trailing in third.
23:27But do all the numbers add up?
23:31Five times three minus seven equals eight.
23:34That looks OK.
23:35In fact, all our teams have found the right answer.
23:37But as the last to finish,
23:39it's Elliot and Max who'll be battling it out
23:41to avoid elimination in the...
23:48With just one green belt up for grabs,
23:51both braineese must use all their powers of focus
23:53to fight the urge to blink.
23:55The first to falter will be eliminated.
24:02And it's Max who can resist no longer.
24:06So while Big Elliot is in,
24:08Max is out,
24:09and must hand over his orange brain belt to the She-Han.
24:19I think our communication was good,
24:21but it was the sum that held us up.
24:23But still, it's really set to go out.
24:25So with four levels left,
24:27it's green brain belts for Alex,
24:29Elliot, Oscar,
24:31Cara and Jackie.
24:33I'm really good at staring competition,
24:34so I thought Max is going to go.
24:36I found it hard because my eyes started stinging.
24:39I didn't think,
24:40I can do this, I can do this.
24:42Now I see that I can go out at any point
24:44during the next task.
24:48Brain T2!
24:52Level four.
24:53Blue belt!
24:55This fourth level requires our brainies
24:58to master a primitive part of the brain
25:00called the amygdala,
25:02the area that responds to threat.
25:04Oh!
25:06Oh, two!
25:09Remember the last time you felt afraid or panicky?
25:12Maybe it was on a dark night.
25:13Well, that feeling was triggered
25:16by the old amygdala.
25:18Stress can make you lose focus.
25:21Fact.
25:22Which is why my brainies
25:24must train to keep their emotions under control.
25:28Room of Mental Nourishment.
25:34We're back in the Room of Mental Nourishment
25:36and it's time for our five remaining
25:38green belt holders to overcome fear
25:40and stay totally focused.
25:43Brain Training.
25:45Form a circle.
25:46Pass the disgusting drink around the circle,
25:49only passing it on
25:51when you have said a different word
25:53ending in the letter D.
25:55After one minute,
25:56the brainy holding the drink
25:58has to drink it.
25:59But drink what?
26:01Well, how about a nice glass
26:03of cheesy Stilton juice?
26:05Abel Alex kicks things off.
26:07Mud.
26:10Sound.
26:12And for some reason,
26:13most of our brainies
26:14can't resist a quick sniff.
26:17Mud.
26:20Dad.
26:21There's no need to smell it
26:22a second time, Alex.
26:23Blood.
26:26Macrood.
26:28Ooh, a long pause from Jackie
26:29is her amygdala gaining the upper hand.
26:32Drinked.
26:33And as the clock counts down,
26:35the pace starts to quicken.
26:38Stalked.
26:39Passed.
26:41There's the gong
26:42and it's Jackie
26:43who has to down
26:44the gruesome gloop.
26:52Time for a training tip.
26:56Concentrate.
26:57Try to blank out the time
26:58in fear of the drink
26:59to avoid panicking.
27:01Do we have to do it again?
27:03I'm not thirsty anymore.
27:04I've had enough.
27:04Nice try, Jackie.
27:06Just remember the tip
27:07and you'll be fine.
27:08You see,
27:09focusing only on the task in hand
27:10is a useful tip
27:11in almost any situation
27:13in which you feel nervous.
27:14The calmer you are,
27:16the better you'll perform.
27:17Round two.
27:19I'll go first.
27:21Had.
27:24Bad.
27:25And once again,
27:26Alex can't resist a sniff.
27:28Cord.
27:28Anyone would think
27:29he likes the smell.
27:30Cord.
27:32Baked.
27:34Stabbed.
27:35Told.
27:37Armed with their tip,
27:38our brainies begin
27:39to pass that drink round
27:40faster than a Japanese
27:41bullet train.
27:43Murdered.
27:45Said.
27:48There's the second gong,
27:50but who's been left
27:51holding the cup of yoke?
27:52I think both of you
27:54should have some.
28:08I don't know how I'm going to cope.
28:11This was very nerve-wracking for me.
28:14I think you killed me.
28:16Will Abel Alex come back to life
28:17in time for the next task?
28:19And will Oscar's nerves
28:21have got over the shock
28:22of his training?
28:23It's time to find out
28:25as our five are now challenged
28:26to overcome their fears
28:27once again.
28:29Creepy Crawly Word Grab.
28:32This level real test
28:33of mind over matter
28:34for brainies
28:35and will push them
28:36to really overcome their fear.
28:38Underneath the creepy crawlies
28:40lie an assortment of letters
28:41worth different points.
28:43Brainies have just one minute
28:44to plunge hands into tank
28:46and pick out up to
28:47seven letters each.
28:49They then have a further minute
28:51to make higher scoring words
28:53they can.
28:55To do well,
28:57my brainies must block out
28:58the signals coming
28:59from their amygdala
29:00and ignore the creepy crawlies.
29:02The quicker they combat
29:04their fear,
29:04the more time they'll have
29:06to pick out
29:06the high scoring letters.
29:11Underneath this pile of cockroaches
29:13are an extra five
29:14golden letters.
29:15If our brainies
29:16manage to use one
29:17in their word
29:17they'll double their score.
29:22There's the gong.
29:24But instead of diving in
29:25like the others
29:26it looks like Oscar's
29:27completely forgotten
29:28his training.
29:29Frightened to put his hand
29:30anywhere near the tank.
29:32No problems for Jackie though
29:34who's remembered
29:35to ignore the cockroaches
29:36and focus just on
29:37finding those letters.
29:39Alex also looks to have
29:41his amygdala under control.
29:48The minute's up.
29:50Our brainies now have
29:51a further minute
29:52to make the highest
29:52scoring word they can
29:54from their letters.
29:55Abel Alex has found
29:56one golden letter.
29:57If he can just make a word
29:59he'll double his score.
30:01But Oscar's board
30:02is a consonant free zone.
30:03He'll be lucky
30:04if he makes any sort
30:05of score with that lot.
30:07See if you can make a word
30:08from the anagram
30:09at the bottom of the screen.
30:21There's the last gong.
30:23How have our green belt
30:24holders done?
30:27Fear.
30:28I'd say you showed
30:29no fear son.
30:31With that golden A
30:31in his word
30:32it's a big fat
30:3314 points for Abel Alex.
30:35Boa.
30:37A quick check
30:38in the dictionary
30:38and that's five points
30:39for Big Elliot.
30:41A.
30:43With only those vowels
30:44to choose from
30:45that's just one point
30:46for Oscar.
30:48Lied.
30:49Five points
30:50for careful Cara.
30:52Fry.
30:53And a healthy
30:54ten points for Jackie.
30:57And so by only scoring
30:59a single point
31:00it's Oscar
31:01who must hand over
31:01his brain belt
31:02and leave the dojo.
31:07Walk of eternal regret.
31:11The brain training
31:12helped me a bit
31:13but when it came
31:15to the creepy holly
31:16they were horrible
31:17and I couldn't quite
31:18get my hand in there
31:19and things
31:19they're going quite fast
31:21and I
31:22I couldn't.
31:24They were so
31:25revolting.
31:29So with only
31:30three levels left
31:31those who use
31:31the craniums
31:32to conquer
31:33the cockroaches
31:34are rewarded
31:34with their blue belts.
31:36I'm feeling
31:37kind of surprised
31:38that I got in
31:39because I didn't think
31:40I could face
31:41those bugs.
31:42I prepared myself
31:43for the worst
31:45and the worst
31:46never came.
31:47I did my best
31:48and I came out
31:48on top.
31:49At one point
31:50when I was dusting
31:51off the sand
31:51and I was picking
31:52up a letter
31:53a bug actually
31:54ran up my hand
31:55and I went
31:56and then
31:56it kind of
31:57fell off again
31:58but I still
31:59got the letter.
32:09Who's the clever
32:10clogs
32:10and whose brain
32:11needs a lot
32:11more training?
32:12First up
32:13astronauts.
32:14This exclusive
32:15group is made
32:16up by some
32:16of the brightest
32:17bods on earth.
32:18In 1969
32:19astronaut Neil Armstrong
32:21stepped onto the moon
32:22uttering the immortal
32:23words
32:23one small step
32:24for man
32:25one giant leap
32:26for mankind.
32:27I wonder if that
32:28was off the top
32:28of his head.
32:29Here's another
32:30group.
32:30Now not McFly.
32:31Oi, get your
32:32haircut.
32:33This lot.
32:34Now, they may not
32:35believe the moon
32:36is made of cheese
32:37but they do believe
32:38in rolling down
32:39a steep slug
32:39to win some.
32:41E them,
32:41that's going to hurt.
32:43Brainy astronauts.
32:44Not so brainy
32:45cheese rolling chumps.
32:49Brain Jitsu.
32:53Tension in Brain Jitsu
32:54Dojo mounting.
32:56As now,
32:56just four young hopeful
32:57remain to compete
32:59under what
32:59fly of Sheehan.
33:01Abel Alex,
33:02winner three
33:03out of four level.
33:04I think I'm going
33:06to win the black belt.
33:07I'm,
33:07I'm,
33:08I'm actually
33:09quite nervous.
33:10Big Elliot,
33:11steady throughout.
33:13Jackie.
33:14A bug actually
33:15ran up my hand
33:16and I went,
33:16whoa.
33:17And careful
33:18Kara,
33:18always positive.
33:20In the brain training,
33:21I've done a lot
33:22of mistakes
33:22but I've obviously
33:23learnt from it
33:24because in the task
33:25I came second.
33:27Only two brainy
33:28will make final test.
33:30Table of supreme focus.
33:31Where?
33:32Must move ball
33:33with power of mind.
33:35Brain Jitsu
33:35black brain belt
33:36is within the grasp.
33:38It's time for...
33:40level five.
33:42Red belt.
33:44Now,
33:45if you've just taken up
33:47competitive bog snorkelling
33:48then you might be
33:49interested to know
33:50that your new hobby
33:51is doing wonders
33:52for the old grey matter.
33:54Exercising both
33:55the thinking part
33:56of the brain,
33:57the cerebrum
33:58and the doing part
33:59the cerebellum.
34:01You see,
34:02doing new things
34:03increases the flow
34:04of blood
34:04into your head
34:05which keeps
34:06your brain cells
34:07topped up
34:08with the oxygen
34:08they need
34:09to perform
34:10at their best.
34:11So,
34:11in level five
34:12my brainees
34:13are going to be challenged
34:14to learn new skills.
34:16Now,
34:17you can speed up
34:18how quickly
34:18the brain takes in
34:20new stuff
34:20and this is what
34:22our brainees
34:23are going to train
34:23for now.
34:25Green of mental
34:27nourishment.
34:30It's our brainees
34:31fourth visit
34:32to the room
34:33of mental nourishment
34:33where they'll be
34:34training their brains
34:35in how to learn
34:36new skills.
34:39Brain training.
34:41Spin the drumstick
34:41between your fingers
34:42for as long as possible.
34:44I play drums
34:44I might be able
34:45to do that.
34:46I've practiced a bit
34:47but...
34:48Sounds like
34:48someone's got an advantage.
34:50Why do you need
34:51to spin a drumstick
34:51when's it going
34:52to help you in life?
34:53It's a fair question
34:54but what our brainees
34:56have to remember
34:56is that if they
34:57follow their training
34:58it'll help them
34:59in the next task.
35:01Why are we just
35:01sitting here?
35:02Why don't we just
35:02get on with it?
35:03Get it over with.
35:07Not a good start.
35:10Well look at it
35:10this way Alex
35:11you can only get better.
35:13Wait look
35:13look
35:14what's this?
35:15I can part of it.
35:18Very good Elliot
35:19even for a drummer.
35:22But while Big Elliot
35:24is twirling his drumstick
35:25faster than noodles
35:26round a chopstick
35:27Abel Alex
35:27has found a new method.
35:29I don't know.
35:31Time for a training tip.
35:33Approach this positively.
35:36Laugh out loud
35:37for 30 seconds.
35:45It might seem weird
35:47but the next time
35:48you face a mental challenge
35:49try laughing as well.
35:51Not only can it help
35:52with confidence
35:53but it also increases
35:54your heart rate
35:55sending more oxygen
35:56into your brain
35:57helping it to perform
35:58at its best.
36:02Not that you'd
36:03necessarily know it
36:04from this lot.
36:05I think it might
36:05be hippo racing.
36:07I know the task
36:08is a new skill
36:08but I've done
36:09a lot of weird things
36:10so it might not
36:11be that new to me.
36:12I've never
36:13hippo raced before.
36:14So will Big Elliot's
36:16talent for twirling
36:17give him an edge
36:17in the next task?
36:19And will Abel Alex
36:20come to regret
36:21not taking his training
36:22a bit more seriously?
36:24Only time will tell
36:25as our four
36:26now put their latest
36:27brain training
36:28to the test.
36:30Chop, chop, don't drop!
36:34To win red brain belt
36:36brainies must remain
36:37mentally confident
36:38as they learn
36:39new physical skill.
36:40Remaining four
36:41must keep ball
36:42in air flow
36:43and guide it
36:44along obstacle course
36:45through hoops
36:46and into basket.
36:48It is race against clock
36:49but brainies
36:50must remain confident.
36:52There is five second penalty
36:53every time ball drops.
36:55Brainy with slowest time
36:56will be eliminated.
36:59The tip for my brainies
37:00in this next task
37:01is to
37:03remain calm
37:04and think positive thoughts.
37:06Giving in to frustration
37:07will only lessen
37:08their focus
37:09and slow them up.
37:16So can our brainies
37:17stay positive
37:18or will they let
37:19the pressure get to them?
37:21First to go with the floor
37:22is Abel Alex
37:23who immediately
37:24runs into a spot of bother.
37:27Not the most focused
37:28during training
37:28can he keep it together now?
37:35Little by little
37:36Alex's confidence
37:37starts to grow.
37:42Nicely through the slalom
37:46and that's a strong finish.
37:50Next up is Big Elliot
37:52looking as cool
37:52as a kimono
37:53in a heat wave.
37:56And despite a little
37:57lapse in concentration there
37:59this looks to me
38:00like a brainy
38:01who's got both
38:02the thinking part
38:03and the doing part
38:04of his brain
38:04to work in perfect harmony.
38:11A slam dunk
38:13of the basket
38:13and Big Elliot
38:14finishes with a flourish.
38:19It's now careful
38:21Cara's turn
38:22but no matter
38:22how careful
38:23she's trying to be
38:24Cara just can't
38:25get going
38:26that ball
38:27refusing to do
38:28is it's tall?
38:30Come on Cara
38:31stay confident.
38:38That's better.
38:42And a basket
38:43in one
38:43stops the clock
38:44but will her
38:45slow start
38:46have cost her dear?
38:49Finally
38:50it's Jackie's turn
38:51who sets off
38:51like a bullet train
38:52only to come unstuck.
38:56Eventually though
38:57her training
38:58kicks in
38:58gently does it
39:00through the slalom
39:00and now
39:01all that stands
39:02between gentle Jackie
39:03and that gong
39:04is the basket.
39:08But oh no
39:10a ball
39:10appears to have
39:11a mind of its own.
39:12Come on girl.
39:15Oh yes
39:16get in.
39:19So
39:20which brain
39:20he flowed
39:21too slow?
39:23With five time penalties
39:25Alex completed
39:26the course
39:26in one minute
39:2719 seconds.
39:31With just one penalty
39:32to add on
39:33Big Elliot
39:33finished in a
39:34quick fire
39:3548 seconds.
39:39With six time penalties
39:41Careful Cara
39:42stopped the clock
39:42in one minute
39:4325.
39:47While gentle Jackie
39:48despite picking up
39:49four penalties
39:50got round
39:51in one minute
39:5113.
39:54which means
39:55that it's
39:55Careful Cara
39:56who's eliminated
39:57and must now
39:58leave the dojo.
40:05Walk of
40:07eternal
40:08regret.
40:09After the brain
40:10training I wasn't
40:11sure how I was
40:12going to do
40:13in the task
40:13because I did
40:14find the brain
40:15training a little
40:15bit difficult.
40:16I'm feeling
40:17very upset
40:18because to go
40:20to be like
40:21one of the last
40:22four and then
40:22to lose
40:23is really hard.
40:28So with just
40:29two levels left
40:30that leaves Alex
40:30Elliot
40:31and Jackie
40:32to stand tall
40:33in red.
40:35I'm really proud
40:36of myself
40:36because no one
40:37else got under
40:37a minute
40:38so I think
40:39I'm going really
40:39strong in the
40:40task
40:40so it gave me
40:41confidence
40:42now I think
40:43I can make it
40:44all the way
40:44to the black belt
40:45and win.
40:45I think
40:45now that I've
40:46got this far
40:47I'll probably
40:48be going out
40:49in the next round.
40:50I just pulled
40:51through by a
40:52hair so I'm
40:54lucky and I
40:55think I did
40:56okay and I'm
40:57going to try
40:58my best for
40:58the next tasks
40:59to come.
41:08It's this level
41:10which will decide
41:11which two
41:12of my remaining
41:13brainees
41:13will go on
41:14to battle it out
41:15for the black belt.
41:18Now imagine
41:20you're in your
41:20school play
41:21as well as
41:22lines to remember
41:23and moving around
41:24on stage
41:25there's also
41:25the audience
41:26watching you.
41:27it's remembering
41:28stuff under
41:29pressure like
41:29this that level
41:31six is all
41:32about.
41:33It centres
41:34around three
41:35areas of the
41:36brain.
41:36The seeing
41:37part, the
41:38occipital lobes,
41:39the memory
41:40part, the
41:41temporal lobes
41:42and the
41:43movement part,
41:44the cerebellum.
41:46To the max!
41:48Room of mental
41:50nourishment.
41:54Our three
41:55surviving
41:56brainees are
41:56back in the
41:57room of mental
41:57nourishment for
41:58a bit of
41:58memory training.
42:01Memorise the
42:02sequence of
42:03objects.
42:04I suck at
42:05memory stuff.
42:06It should be
42:07hard.
42:09Hey Elliot,
42:10in brain jitsu
42:11there's no such
42:11word as
42:12can't.
42:12I can't remember
42:13stuff, I can't
42:14remember stuff,
42:15I can't remember
42:15stuff.
42:17I'm not surprised
42:17Alex if that's
42:18your approach.
42:20Well, I can
42:21go first if
42:22you want.
42:24Cabbage, crock,
42:25hammer, Eiffel
42:26Tower with
42:27weird eyebally
42:28thing, monster
42:29arm, glasses,
42:32duck, frog on
42:33toilet, gnome
42:35with fried egg.
42:36I messed
42:36out with you.
42:37Wow.
42:38Oh right,
42:39yeah.
42:40Not bad for
42:40someone who
42:41can't remember
42:41stuff.
42:42Time for a
42:43brain tip.
42:45Tip.
42:46Create a
42:46story, linking
42:47the objects
42:48together.
42:50Memory tests
42:51like this are
42:51a great way
42:52of training
42:52your brain.
42:53Why not
42:54create a story
42:54to memorise
42:55all your
42:56classmates in
42:56alphabetical
42:57order?
42:58Rang the
42:59doorbell.
43:00And then a
43:00big floating
43:01monster arm
43:01came and
43:03dropped the
43:03eye of the
43:03tower.
43:04The fog was
43:05in the
43:05toilet because
43:06the rat was
43:07the fog's
43:07sun.
43:07It went to
43:08the toilet.
43:08Yes.
43:09And a crock
43:10came and
43:10ate it.
43:11Yeah, then
43:12cabbages
43:12took over
43:12the world.
43:13Yeah.
43:14So, who's
43:15going to go
43:15first?
43:16I'll go
43:16first.
43:16Okay,
43:17I'll go
43:18first.
43:18Okay, so
43:18gnome with
43:19fried egg.
43:20And then
43:21the rat tried
43:22to get it
43:23off.
43:24So he
43:24went and
43:25got some
43:25bananas.
43:26Then I
43:27think a
43:27wizard, he
43:28rang the
43:28doorbell and
43:29the giant
43:30chicken followed
43:31him in.
43:31And then he
43:32caught his
43:32head in
43:33some giant
43:34scissors.
43:34He went
43:35to the
43:35bathroom, but
43:36a frog was
43:37on the
43:37toilet.
43:38And the
43:38rat said,
43:39go get
43:40the bananas
43:40from my
43:41wife, the
43:42duck.
43:42The duck
43:43was in
43:43the
43:43garden with
43:45sunglasses on
43:46her head.
43:46Then a giant
43:47monster arm and
43:49dropped the
43:49Eiffel Tower with
43:50an eye on it.
43:51Then a giant
43:51hammer smushed the
43:53eyeball.
43:54A croc came and
43:55ate it and then
43:56cabbages took over
43:57the world.
43:57Yay!
43:58Wow!
43:59I'm guessing it will
44:00be a memory task.
44:01And if it is, I'm
44:02guessing that we'll
44:04probably have limited
44:04time.
44:05So I think I'll try
44:06and make a story,
44:08but I'll try and make
44:09it a bit shorter.
44:10Elliot might be just
44:11a teeny bit better
44:12than Jackie, but I
44:13think you'd pretty
44:14much even.
44:15Well, I guess we'll
44:16see what happens
44:17then, Alex, yeah?
44:18Because it's all
44:19down to the task.
44:21So can gentle
44:22Jackie take her
44:23impressive form back
44:24into the dojo?
44:25Or will it be the
44:26boys who come out
44:27on top?
44:28Only time will tell
44:29as her final three
44:30put their memory
44:31train into the
44:32test for one of
44:33two brown brain
44:34belts and a place
44:35on the table of
44:36supreme focus.
44:38Super Memory Dizzy
44:40Dash.
44:41Each brainie is
44:43spun around on
44:44dizzy wheel a total
44:45of ten times.
44:46Their task to use
44:47all their power of
44:49focus to memorize
44:50five images in
44:51front of them.
44:53Then race against
44:54clock to cross
44:55balancing beam and
44:56collect same five
44:58images from ten
44:59hanging above them.
45:02Then must arrange
45:03images in reverse
45:05order.
45:07When they are happy
45:08with their selection
45:09a hit of gong
45:10stops clock.
45:15My tip for the
45:16brainees is to
45:17keep focused on
45:18the main objective
45:19and use their
45:21training to link
45:22the five images
45:23together.
45:25So, our final three
45:27brave the dizzy
45:28wheel to compete
45:29for their brown
45:29brain belt and a
45:30place on the table
45:31of supreme focus.
45:33Hey, time to spin.
45:39Will their memory
45:39training help them
45:40to remember the
45:41images and ignore
45:42the effects of being
45:43spun around like
45:44clams on a
45:44carousel?
45:48First to wobble off
45:49is Abel Alex.
45:52This really is the
45:53ultimate test of
45:54memory for our
45:55brainies as they
45:56fight their dizziness
45:57to pick out the five
45:57images they saw on
45:59the wheel, arranging
46:00them in reverse
46:01order, but Alex has
46:04found a blue balloon
46:05from somewhere
46:05earning him a five
46:06second penalty.
46:12It's now a race
46:14against the clock to
46:14get the cards in the
46:15right order.
46:30There's the gong, but
46:32has Alex's mistake
46:33cost him a place in
46:34the final showdown?
46:37Next up is Big
46:38Elliot.
46:40And like a rocket
46:41powered rickshaw, he
46:42wastes no time at all
46:43in plucking out those
46:44images.
46:46That's five.
46:51Now all Elliot has
46:52to do is arrange
46:53them in the right
46:54order.
47:03There's the gong
47:04and that looks like
47:05full marks.
47:09Last but not least
47:10is Gentle Jackie.
47:12She remembered her
47:13training and lodged
47:14those five images
47:15in her memory.
47:24It might not be
47:25speedy, but it's
47:26accurate.
47:35And there's the gong.
47:36Time for the results.
47:41With that one penalty
47:43to add to his time
47:44of one minute four
47:44seconds, Abel Alex
47:46finished in one minute
47:47nine.
47:49With no penalties to
47:50his name, Big Elliot
47:51rang his gong in a
47:53rapid 48 seconds.
47:55And with no penalties
47:57either, Gentle Jackie
47:58timed out in one minute
48:00two seconds.
48:02Which means that
48:03Elliot and Jackie
48:03remain and Abel Alex
48:05goes out.
48:12Walk of eternal regret.
48:16I think it went wrong
48:17because I remembered a
48:19balloon instead of a
48:20bee.
48:20But even without that
48:21mistake, I still would have
48:22been three seconds later.
48:24If I was just a bit quicker,
48:25I could have made it, but I
48:27didn't.
48:33So with only one level to
48:35go, that leaves just Big
48:36Elliot and Gentle Jackie to
48:38don their brown brain belts
48:39and prepare for the final
48:41showdown.
48:42Yay!
48:43I'm through.
48:44I can't believe what I was
48:45because at the very beginning,
48:46in the very first round, I was
48:47almost out when it was
48:49Priscilla and I head to head.
48:50And now I'm one away from
48:53winning.
48:54I'm happy now because Alex
48:55is out because I thought he
48:56was my only competition.
48:58And now because I think I've
49:01been doing better than Jackie,
49:02I think I can win the black
49:03belt.
49:04And I'm really excited now.
49:08Brain Jitsu.
49:35I'm really proud of myself
49:36because no one else got under
49:38a minute.
49:38But now I think I can make it
49:40all the way to the black belt
49:41and win.
49:42And Gentle Jackie, most
49:43consistent brainy.
49:45I feel a bit more confident
49:46knowing that I've prepared
49:47because I did most of the
49:48tasks.
49:49But who will use brain
49:50training to the max to win
49:52final challenge?
49:55Level seven.
49:56Black belt.
49:58So this is it.
50:00Between my two remaining
50:02brainy's and the black belt
50:04stands brain jitsu's ultimate
50:06challenge.
50:07A mental jewel that is head
50:09to head in every sense.
50:11The battlefield?
50:13A table.
50:14But not just any table.
50:16For this, my friends, is the
50:17table of supreme focus.
50:20Where our two brainy's will
50:21attempt to move a ball across
50:23the table using only the power
50:26of their mind.
50:27By getting this far, they've
50:29already demonstrated mental
50:31control under many different
50:32types of pressure.
50:34But now, they must learn to focus
50:36their minds by entering a state
50:38of total calm.
50:39To prepare them, my two finalists
50:42will need to get into the zone.
50:45Room of Mental Nourishment.
50:50In this, their final visit to the room
50:52of Mental Nourishment, our two
50:54remaining brainy's are about to train
50:56in how to stay focused, no matter
50:58what's happening around them.
51:02Mentally prepare yourself for the final
51:04task.
51:05Don't let the sounds put you off.
51:09So, our two finalists must block out
51:11the noise and concentrate only on
51:13keeping their focus.
51:17While Jackie doesn't seem bothered
51:18by the sound of the dentist's drill,
51:20Elliot's not looking quite so comfortable.
51:27In fact, Jackie's so relaxed,
51:29she almost nods off.
51:32Well, after a while, I was fine with it.
51:34I just laid down and listened to the
51:35sounds.
51:36I find it better without them,
51:37but with them, it's okay.
51:40Sometimes, when I hear, like,
51:42white noise like that,
51:43sometimes it hypnotises me.
51:45Strange.
51:45Really strange.
51:47Yeah.
51:48Time for a training tip.
51:49Tip.
51:50Repeat three positive statements
51:52to yourself.
51:56I'm going to meet Elliot.
51:58I'm not scared of the dentist.
52:00I've gotten this far so I can go
52:01another round.
52:02I'm going to win.
52:03And there's a good chance
52:05of me winning.
52:06I know I'm going to beat Elliot,
52:09hopefully,
52:10but I just didn't know
52:12what way to put that
52:13so he wouldn't be crushed.
52:14Well, I won't be crushed
52:16when I beat you.
52:16I think you're the one
52:17who's going to be crushed.
52:19So, can Big Elliot avoid being crushed on the table of Supreme Focus?
52:23Or will Gentle Jacky mentally nod off and allow him to grab the prize?
52:27Let's find out.
52:31Table of Supreme Focus.
52:36Rules are simple.
52:38Each brainy must push ball to the opponent's end of table using only power of mind.
52:43Sensors in brainy's headbands measure brainwaves.
52:47This is converted into electrical signal, which moves ball.
52:52More focused mind, stronger signal, and faster ball will travel.
53:25See how brainy's are doing on this readout.
53:26They've been training to enter their zone of absolute focus if they are to succeed.
53:31This is the reason they came to the dojo.
53:33This is the moment they've been training for.
53:41And it's Jacky who's off to the better start.
53:44You can see from the low black line on the readout
53:46that she's just got the mental edge over her opponent.
53:56And even though Elliot's now beginning to slow the ball down,
54:00it's not enough to stop Jacky taking the lead.
54:031-0.
54:07Big Elliot now faces an uphill battle.
54:10Will he remember his training and find his focus?
54:12That pressure's really on.
54:14Round two.
54:20Elliot's now using a different tactic,
54:22looking directly at the ball instead of his opponent.
54:28But again, the black line on the readout
54:31shows that Jacky's just too strong for him.
54:43Little by little, she's inching that ball towards Elliot,
54:46who's powerless to stop her.
54:52It's all over, and it's Jacky who's emerged triumphant.
54:56In an epic battle of concentration and focus,
54:58her training has paid off.
55:00Gentle Jacky truly has proved herself to be a master of the mind
55:04and worthy winner of the Brain Jitsu Black Belt.
55:08Winning the black belt means loads to me,
55:10because I honestly never thought I would get it when I came.
55:16But glory for one brings disappointment for another,
55:19and although he fought valiantly,
55:21Big Elliot must now leave the dojo.
55:26Walk of eternal regret.
55:29I'm feeling crushed, because I got so far,
55:33and I got into the final,
55:35but to fail right at the last minute, it feels really bad.
55:40Jacky, I think she did deserve the win.
55:46For Jacky, her journey to mental mastery is over.
55:50Up against the toughest of competitors in Big Elliot,
55:53she refused to give way.
55:55When it really mattered,
55:56it was gentle Jacky who was able to call on all her training
56:00and grab that black brain belt.
56:02Yay! Yay!
56:05I just sat there, and I tried to be very calm, very relaxed.
56:10I just breathed in, and I breathed out very heavily,
56:12and then I noticed that that moved the ball quite a bit,
56:15so I kept doing that.
56:17And I go, go, ah, and it really worked,
56:20and I was just really glad that I won both rounds.
56:23Our journey has come to an end.
56:25Another brainy has proven themselves worthy
56:27to wear the Brain Jitsu Black Belt.
56:30But while Brain Jitsu might represent
56:33the most extreme form of brain training,
56:36its philosophy can be shared by all.
56:39Each and every one of you has it in your power
56:42to grow your mind.
56:44All it takes is dedication and practice.
56:48This has been...
56:51Brain Jitsu!
