00:00to state that no brainies 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 brainies one challenge to use complex mass of 100 billion cells we call brain for chance to
00:17win rinjutsu black brain belt born in lancashire trained in japan with mind as sharp as samurai sword
00:32he is brain master he is the sensei konichiwa and welcome to brain jitsu mental training
00:43specially designed to boost brain power and focus my trainees or brainies have been following a
00:50basic program of training in the comfort of their own home a brain boosting routine of exercise
00:57sleep and enough fruit and veg to stock a green grocers the training it made me feel um really
01:04good about myself i felt more confident i'm not sure if i'm gonna win the black belt because i think
01:09some people might have trained harder than me i'm quite good in all subjects and i'm all-rounder
01:15basically now my brainies must put their training into practice by testing a part of the brain we
01:20use every day level one you're no fault take a look at this crowd of people can you spot the
01:29woman in
01:30the red jumper spotted eh congratulations you've just used your occipital lobes this area the same
01:40part of our brain allows us to recognize and separate images from each other the seven brainies who use
01:47their occipital lobes the best will be allowed to enter my brain jitsu dojo where their training will
01:53continue the one who fails will be left outside oh feel the burn
02:04brainees must first answer four questions by counting colored shapes on the board in front of them
02:10get the questions right and they'll be left with a four digit code which they must then use to unlock
02:15a
02:16piece of brain and secure their place in the dojo but with only seven pieces of brain and eight
02:21brainies one of either ranch kumar petra amin ella alfie ruby kobina or danielle will be left outside and
02:32eliminated the tension is mounting higher than a tokyo skyscraper as the four questions are revealed
02:41how many blue triangles are there how many blue rectangles are there how many blue rectangles are there
02:58how many three-sided green shapes are there
03:05how many four-sided white shapes are there
03:12the answer our brainies are looking for is 1229
03:20petra is first off a stool with twin ruby following close behind
03:24could both the sisters have got the code right
03:30soon there's one brainy to each piece of brain but alfie is still working at the answer
03:35will his dream of the dojo have ended so soon
03:40who don't noodles petra has cracked the code already and takes pole position
03:45her occipital lobes must have been fired on all cylinders for twin ruby though it's time for another try
03:51don't forget the cordo brainies are looking for is 1229
03:55as there is one blue triangle two blue rectangles two three-sided green shapes and nine four-sided
04:03white shapes danielle amin and raj take second third and fourth place and this sisterly smiles all round when ruby
04:14slots in her
04:15yellow piece of brain alfie and ella both trying their codes while cobina looks cool calm and collected as he
04:22waits patiently
04:23on his stool you can see ella's frustration and alfie's got it wrong again so cobina gets his chance which
04:33pays off
04:38so it's now just ella and alfie left to battle it out for that yellow piece of brain and they're
04:43placing the dojo
04:46ella clearly under pressure
04:50that correct code one more time is 1229
05:03alfie waiting patiently as ella has another go has he been pipped to the post
05:13that's it ella's in and alfie's out
05:18so as seven enter the dojo for a chance to survive six more grueling levels of
05:23brain training for alfie the dream of the black brain belt has ended before it even started
05:32i'm feeling sad now because i wanted to get in the higher stage and get the black belt
05:38i think cobina will win because he's more clever than others
05:43so with six levels to go petra danielle amin raj ruby cobina and ella have entered the dojo
05:52and achieved the first of their colored brain belts now i'm so relieved that i got through
05:57dojo here we come
05:59there is kind of a lot of pressure now that i came first
06:03because now i have to like lead the way
06:06i felt so relieved that i'm not out first round
06:13in this next level of training things are going to get really hard
06:18level two orange belt
06:20you do things every day without even thinking like brushing your teeth
06:25but ha ha you try brushing them using the hand you wouldn't normally use
06:30see how you get on if you manage to do that you're using part of your brain that deals with
06:36problem solving the frontal lobes and that's what level two is all about taking something
06:43you normally do without thinking and doing it differently work it to prepare them for using
06:49their frontal lobes in the next challenge my brainees are going to need some training
06:53the room of mental nourishment
06:58the room of mental nourishment is where our young hopefuls will train their brains
07:02to help them progress to the next levels of the dojo
07:05the more serious our brainees take the training
07:08the better prepared they'll be for the challenges that lie ahead
07:11and in level two that challenge is all about getting their brains to think in a new way
07:15brain training
07:17take it in turns to call out the action on your cards
07:21everyone has to do the opposite
07:24start from that side keep tongue in mouth
07:27this exercise makes our brainees work their frontal lobes as they have to think in a new
07:32way about something they would do normally without thinking
07:35left knee up
07:38watch your balance ella
07:50all position petra's command seems to have foxed twin ruby so it's time for a training tip
07:57tip don't rush pause for two seconds to think before you react
08:17if you want to work your frontal lobes at home why not try this exercise with your whole family it's
08:23great fun and it will help improve your all-round focus
08:28who do you think was the best out of the training round
08:30ruby ruby i reckon
08:32i don't think i was because i got like my left and my right next up which is like a
08:40bit embarrassing
08:40who do you think is going to get kicked out in the next round
08:51i don't agree with that because i've got the tip and that's going to take me all the way
08:55ella seems eager to prove danielle wrong can she make it through the next challenge
09:00the group thought ruby was strong but she disagreed
09:03will the majority rule or will sister pole position petra beat her again
09:08there's only one way to find out it's time for our brainies to really put their training to the test
09:16guardian of the dojo and task adjudicator the sheehan will now demonstrate the level two challenge
09:22countdown box pop
09:26brainies are all given a time say 12 second
09:29they must then squat down inside the box as soon as sheehan bang gong
09:34start counting
09:36then when they think time is up must jump out of a box
09:42brainie or brainies closest to target time will go through to next level
09:47brainies continue like this until only one remain and is eliminated from dojo
09:55for the first round our brainies have to count to 23 seconds
09:59if you want to play along at home and give your frontal lobes a workout
10:02shut your eyes on the gong
10:03start counting up to 23 then open them when you think the time is up
10:13to make this even harder the sheehan is banging about on a bucket
10:19in the dark confines of their boxes with no point of reference our brainies really have to focus on
10:24thinking about time passing in a totally new way
10:36but who got it right and how close were you to that 23 seconds
10:41well if you opened your eyes when danielle petra kobina and ella popped up then congratulations
10:45because they were all spot on 23 seconds and four advanced to level three
10:53eager ella obviously pleased to get through and prove danielle wrong
10:56no high five for her
11:00now just amin raj and ruby are left to battle it out for the final two orange brain belts
11:08next timing 15 seconds why not count again yourself at home when the gong sounds
11:34that was like some weird colored box mexican wave wasn't it but who was closest to the 15 seconds
11:43if you agreed with amin's timing then you would also go through to the next level
11:47which means either raj or ruby will be out of the dojo
11:53final round 34 seconds close your eyes if you want to play at home
11:59ball position petra's got her eyes closed clearly willing her sister to make it through
12:16bella has her fingers crossed wonder who that's for
12:32oh raj and ruby wait nervously for the verdict they both know it's tighter than a sumo's waistband
12:41so raj is in and ruby who doubted her abilities in the training is out
12:47or she's gutted and it looks like twin sister petra is too
12:54walk of eternal regret i am disappointed that i got out so early i found the counting difficult
13:03you think you're going too fast and you think you're going too slow it's already complicated
13:08personally i think it's going to win amin probably
13:13with five levels left only petra danielle amin raj kabina and ella have gained their orange brain belts
13:22the training was really helpful to me counting is really easy when you think about it if you have
13:26to do it on a certain time it is not as easy as you think in the box i was
13:30really really nervous and i
13:31was like okay get through this it's a shame ruby got out because um she'd have enjoyed it
13:46not so brainy who's the clever clocks and who's brain needs a lot more training bridges aren't they
13:54brilliant well he thought so isembark kingdom brunel britain's most famous engineer and builder of some
13:59the greatest bridges tunnels and ships in the world including this the clifton suspension bridge
14:05in bristol which spans over 700 feet it's fantastic now this bridge the millennium bridge opened in 2000
14:12and cost over 18 million smackaroos problem was that people started complaining it was unstable
14:17some even felt seasick which led to it being rechristened the wobbly bridge it all turned out okay
14:23because the designers went and picked it don't you just love a happy ending brainy brunel not so
14:29brainy millennium bridge
14:36pressure in brain jitsu dojo rising now just six young hopeful remain to compete under watchful eye of
14:43shihan kabina cooler than sushi lollipop raj i'm confident enough to get that black belt and i'm
14:51looking forward to it amin who is placed midway in both tasks eager ella the first task i didn't
14:58do that well i could have done better but the second class looks like it improved danielle who
15:02plays steady game in both tasks she could be one to watch and pole position petra my sister and i
15:09are
15:10pretty even i think i just got lucky this time challenge is about to get even tougher only two
15:16brainy will make two final tests table of supreme focus where must move ball with power of mind for
15:23chance to win brain jitsu black brain belt is time for level three result now we all like to chat
15:33but did
15:34you know that using words to communicate is one of the main reasons why our brains have grown so
15:40incredibly powerful and having a conversation exercises both halves of the brain now if all
15:47that's doing your head in allow me to explain think of it like a football match a player is focused
15:54on
15:55his own performance but the manager he has to think about all his players that's it alex all the way
16:02it's the same with the brain there's the left half which deals with the details and there's the
16:07right half which looks at the overall picture this next level of training strengthens my brainy's
16:13focus by working one half of their brain under pressure hey pump it up the room of mental nourishment
16:25it's our second visit to the room of mental nourishment brainy's have a choice as to whether
16:30they take part or not but any extra training they do will help them with the next challenge
16:36for level three it's communication brain training get into pairs direct the blindfolded brainy to
16:44stack their blocks using only one hand right blindfolds on guys so our brainies are in pairs one member
16:52of the pair should use the right side of their brain to describe clearly how and where to balance the
16:58blocks the other team should use the left side of their brain to concentrate on those instructions
17:03to make the tallest tower possible you need to be more specific ella petra wouldn't have to ask
17:13your questions if you explain clearly and precisely and it's no good using your hands she can't see you
17:20remember each of us built the tallest tower the boys have done well for the girls here's a training tip
17:29use short clear instructions imagine yourself hearing them i think you need to use clearer instructions
17:37okay take that and the key to success is to talk calmly and clearly like cool cob in a
17:55right which side ella think about what you're saying your instructions are as clear as miso soup
18:01um okay no no no no no okay oh my god there we are the shortest one can i pick
18:06up oh for goodness
18:08sake don't panic now i'll grab the little scratch i think we did the best because after every movement
18:16i told amin to stop so i can check out one where he needs to move his hands before he
18:23drops the blocks
18:24i think i agree with commoner because he gives short but really good and clear instruction so cool
18:32cob in a came out on top but will he and amin be together in the next challenge will eager
18:38ella learn from
18:39her mistakes and stay calm or will panic set in time to find out as our six now put their
18:45communication
18:45train into the test to compete for their green brain belt borrow tip do maths quick this level tests
18:53how well our brainies can communicate so our six need to be in teams of two the chopsticks will decide
18:59the pairs so we have amin and ella petra and raj daniel and kobina which means that each team has
19:09one
19:09talker and one listener from the training quickly as possible team must tip over six barrel containing
19:18number that go together to make some pairs need to decide who is gaida who is tipper as tippers will
19:25be blindfolded they will be relying on gaida to help them find barrel once all six have been tipped
19:33brainies stop clock by shouting bring it to quicker they up end barrels more time to pick up number and
19:41make
19:42some when brainy happy with answer hit gong first two teams to work out correct answer will get green belt
19:52and advance to next level one brainy from losing team will be eliminated the key to success here is for
20:00the guider to use the right side of their brain to follow their teammates progress and give them clear
20:06instructions for their partner it's vital they use the left side of their brain to focus on these
20:13instructions and nothing else
20:18first to put their communication training to the test are danielle and kobina stop
20:24kobina talked and danielle listened in the training and they've gone for the same combo here
20:29higher to your right cool kobina is being clear calm and collected with his instructions the right
20:37side of his brain must be warmed up from the training let go forward he might be a little too
20:42cool though
20:42you're against the clock remember to your left hand up tip steady danielle using the left side of
20:50her brain well but she must pull harder tip brain jitsu finally they're finished in two minutes and ten seconds
20:59now whole position petra and raj
21:04forward forward left left no left left petra listened and raj spoke in the training but they've
21:11gone for the opposite combo in this challenge will the gamble pay off no no no petra should remember
21:17the training and remain as calm and tranquil as a japanese zen garden back a bit back a bit tip
21:25okay turn right yes left left left no left raj struggling with his left and right there
21:35they may be rushing a little but at least these two seem aware they're against the clock
21:42brain jitsu petra's face a clear mixture of joy and relief her team's time is one minute 36 super speedy
21:52forward now ella and amin your hand up move to the right there up right pull eager ella talked and
22:02amin
22:03listened in the training and the same combo seems to be working here as they're off to a cracking start
22:08now raise your hand up right uh forward a bit yeah pull tip ella has clearly taken the training tip
22:18on board the left side of her brain is working well as she gives clear and concise instructions
22:26raise it soon good teamwork there and a time of one minute 40 which means raj and petra are first
22:33to
22:33collect their numbers these are the numbers our teams are looking for see if you can work out the sum
22:51ella and amin have finished their sum already
22:59and steady danielle and cool cobbina are last to finish seven times two minus six equals eight
23:06they've got the sum right and so have raj and petra ella and amin finished first but they should have
23:13applied the training to their maths as their sum is wrong rushing could mean you're out but will ella
23:20or amin be making the walk of eternal regret it all hangs on there with just one green belt up
23:33for
23:33grabs both brainies must use all their powers of focus to fight the urge to blink the first to falter
23:39will be eliminated
23:43blink and you missed it because it's all over in a matter of seconds amin's in and it's ayanara to
23:50eager ella she's out
23:54walk of eternal regret i'm a bit disappointed but i'm not very good with staring competitions or anything
24:01like that really if i were to do it again i would have taken my time instead of rushing it
24:07so with four levels left it's green brown belts for petra danielle amin raj and kobina both in the
24:15brain training and in the game my instructions were very clear and that saved us some time there's five
24:20people left and i'm pretty confident that i'll take that back the brain training was pretty helpful
24:25because it gave us an idea of what we have to do in the next round and it gave us
24:32a really good tip on how
24:43to do this fourth level requires our brain ease to master a primitive part of the brain called the
24:49amygdala the area that responds to threat remember the last time you felt afraid or panicky maybe you'd
25:00just seen a spider oh well that feeling was triggered by the old amygdala now stress can make you lose
25:08focus
25:09fact which is why my brain ease must train to keep their emotions under control prepare to harness the power
25:18of the mind
25:19the room of mental nourishment we're back in the room of mental nourishment and it's time for our five
25:29remaining green belt holders to overcome fear and stay totally focused
25:36brain training form a circle pass the disgusting drink around the circle only passing it on when you have
25:44said a different color after one minute the brain knee holding the drink has to drink it oh man it's
25:52disgusting the seaweed drink certainly is disgusting but it's time to play pink red orange yellow green
26:05raj repeating his own color there he's letting the fear of the drink get to him
26:09it's gold silver
26:14raj fear leads to pausing leads to gong leads to drink leads to yeah oh okay
26:24is it nice no it's not shame training tip time tip block out your fears do not look at the
26:33drink
26:34i'll start off this thing blue if you practice this technique at home it will allow you to keep
26:39your emotions under control stop you from panicking and help you focus better in situations like exams red red's
26:47been said do it again um what hasn't been said um turquoise yellow yellow's been said petra is really on
26:56it with challenging the other's colors maybe memory training would be more appropriate for this lot
27:00do it again black indigo black that's been said as well that's another minute and this time cobbina
27:09has to drink
27:12but he takes it like a man
27:16all the like pressure was on me and i didn't know what to say and before i could say something
27:21the gong went so i had to end up drinking it it's hard to concentrate on something so simple and
27:27basically i put all my effort into trying to find out when people have made mistakes so the training
27:32tip really helped our brain ease the real problem was their memory banks except for pole
27:38position petra who was a real stickler for the rules and rightly so our five must now put their brain
27:44train into the test to overcome fear and compete for their blue brain belts but wait before the
27:51level four challenge can even begin we discover that petra is unable to continue meaning both twins
27:57have left the dojo under brain jitsu rules if someone pulls out of the competition then their place can
28:03be taken by the last person to be eliminated so that's eager ella i've just found out that i'm back
28:09into
28:10the dojo which is really good because i was a bit upset when i got out so i'm really excited
28:14now i'm a bit
28:16scared because i didn't do the training for the next dojo challenge so we'll have to see so ella's back
28:23in the dojo and she's even more eager to win but will her lack of training means she's unprepared for
28:28the challenge ahead there's only one way to find out creepy crawly word grab this level real test of mind
28:39over matter for brain ease and will push them to really overcome their fear underneath the creepy crawlies
28:45lie an assortment of letters worth different points brain ease have just one minute to plunge hands
28:50into tank and pick out up to seven letters each they then have a further minute to make higher scoring
28:57word they can to do well my brain ease must block out the signals coming from their amygdala and ignore
29:06the creepy crawlies the quicker they combat their fear the more time they'll have to pick out the high
29:11score in letters underneath the pile of mealworms are an extra five golden letters if her brain ease
29:20manage to use one in their word they'll double their score oh my god
29:29touch me it touched me
29:32ella wasn't in the training room and it shows
29:35her amygdala is working overtime and she's in the right flap
29:40steady danielle and amin both using their training well they both look very focused
29:47and cool cobbinat living up to his name the mealworms don't seem to bother him at all
29:54raj's scream means he isn't using his training he should be focusing on the letters and not the yucky mealworms
30:04the gong means that their minute is up and now our brainies have another minute to make the longest
30:09word they can out of the letters they've collected
30:14raj has got a few options there i mean that m is a w
30:21that's better see if you can make a word from the anagram on the screen now
30:35so how have our green belt holders fared
30:41tear steady danielle gets a more than respectable six points
30:47one he hasn't won his blue brain belt yet but with a golden letter doubling his score to six amin
30:53certainly has a good chance let will that three-letter word let raj sail through to the next round we'll
31:01soon see
31:04pen with a golden letter cool cobbinat also gets a cool six points finally ella
31:12no no means no win for ella just three points which means danielle amin and cobbinat have won
31:19their blue belts but for ella and raj it all hangs on the tiebreak chopstick challenge
31:27it's tough but fair our brainies must engage their occipital lobes the seeing part of the brain
31:32and quickly work out how many chopsticks they see
31:37this is ella's second crack at a tiebreak situation but will she crack under the pressure once again
31:44time to reveal our brainies answers 70
31:4949 the actual number is
31:55so ella's answer of 49 was furthest from the correct number of 97 chopsticks so raj is in and ella
32:02is out
32:03again
32:06walk of eternal regret i'm a bit upset because i could have done better i think the others did have
32:13an
32:14advantage of me the two people i think might be getting the black belt are probably danielle and raj
32:25so with only three levels to go danielle amin raj and cobbinat proudly wear their blue brain belts
32:32the ones were really disgusting and they smell really bad i'm more confident now that i've gone
32:40through so far so i'm not as nervous as i used to be
32:46brain t2 brainy not so brainy
32:53who's the clever clogs and whose brain needs a lot more training
32:57all the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players just one of the many great lines
33:02that
33:02came from the fevri pen of mr william shakespeare in total he wrote nearly 40 plays and 154 poems called
33:09sonnets and over 400 years later we're still reading them pretty impressive stuff will your
33:14poor hand must have really ached after all that writing though ouch about 100 years later another
33:19writer a french freezer called jean-baptiste vivienne de chateaubrun spent 40 years perfecting just two
33:26measly plays and if that weren't bad enough justice is on the point of finishing them off
33:30his housekeeper only goes and mistakes the manuscripts for wrapping paper and puts the kibosh on
33:36his life's work all gutted brainy shakespeare not so brainy jean baptiste brain jitsu
33:46pension in brain jitsu dojo mounting must now just four young hopeful remain to compete under watchful eye
33:53of shihan cool kobina calmer than japanese zen garden on windless day steady danielle only girl left in
34:02competition and real contender for black belt i sort of overcame my fear and just went for it large who
34:11nearly went out in last round can he turn tables in next challenge and assured i mean i'm more confident
34:18now i'm not as nervous as i used to be only two brainy will make final test table of supreme
34:24focus where
34:26must move ball with power of mind bring jitsu black brain belt is within the grasp as it is time
34:33for
34:35level five red bolt
34:38now if you're learning how to bull ride then you might be interested to know that your new hobby
34:44is doing wonders for your old gray matter exercising both the thinking part of the brain
34:50the cerebrum and the doing part the cerebellum you see doing new things increases the flow of blood
34:57into your head which keeps your brain cells topped up with the oxygen they need to perform at their best
35:04so in level five my brainees are going to be challenged to learn new skills now you can speed up
35:11how quickly the brain takes in new stuff and this is what our brainees are going to train for now
35:18the room of mental nourishment it's our brainees fourth visit to the room of mental nourishment and
35:25for this brain training exercise they're going to be really working their brains by learning something new
35:32brain training juggle the two balls using one hand
35:37for as long as possible who wants to go first i think we should go for it who do you
35:42think is really
35:42good i'm rubbish i'm rubbish our brainees don't seem very confident but this exercise needs to be
35:49taxing so the thinking part of the brain and the doing part of the brain are equally pushed
35:54i have a feeling i'm going to break something i keep using my other hand raj can't seem to stop
36:00rabbiting yeah chuck one and then chuck the other one how about instead of talking about it you
36:06actually concentrate on doing it raj training tip time from you've guessed it rabbiting raj tip have
36:15confidence compliment each other oh you're getting the hang of it i will compliment you if you
36:22compliment me you're trying as best as you can but um you need to have confidence in yourself
36:28that's a compliment and an insult rolled into one raj hey daniel you're meant to juggle the ball
36:34and not eat it i'm not eating the ball why don't you focus your energies on your juggling raj and
36:39leave danielle alone boosting your confidence really can help if you're learning something new
36:44if you stay positive tell yourself you can do it you're much more likely to succeed at your new skill
36:50i think the most rubbish version of the person that giving compliments was danielle how am i
36:55supposed to give compliments when everybody's calling me rubbish you don't need to rub it in my
36:59face all the time raj said it you may think i'm rubbish at juggling balls but we'll see how you
37:04cope in
37:05the next round so steady danielle has laid down the gauntlet to raj she may seem shy but her
37:11understated confidence could well prove him wrong rabbiting raj is naturally self-assured but
37:17he'll have to find his focus if he's to succeed in the next challenge our four must now put the
37:22train into the test to learn a new skill for their red brain belt
37:29mind maze
37:32to win red belt brainies must remain mentally confident as they learn new physical skill
37:39brainy must guide marble to end of maze on their helmet by tilting head using the screen in front of
37:45them as guide but there is twist image they are seeing is in reverse that mean to go right they
37:54must tilt left what is more brainy is up against clock brainy with slowest time will be eliminated
38:02the tip for my brainies in this next task is to remain calm and think positive thoughts
38:09giving into frustration will only lessen their focus and slow them up
38:15it's ladies first as steady danielle gets going
38:20she's looking a little flustered for once as rabbit and raj got to her that's a dead end
38:29oh dear she's right back at the start again use your training to stay focused and let your mind
38:34guide your body at last steady danielle has regained her usual composure and it's paying off
38:42she's finished but was it fast enough to get the red and prove raj wrong
38:51now it's assured amin's turn
38:57staying positive is one thing amin but you must find emotional and physical control to master the skill
39:03of the mind maze
39:07finally amin is concentrating and it shows but will that bad start have cost him the red brain belt
39:17now for rabbiting raj can he find the focus he was lacking in the training room
39:30raj raj raj getting frustrated only makes things worse if you stay calm and concentrate you will
39:37succeed in controlling both the thinking and doing part of your brain raj finally finishes but he never
39:44really found his focus last to navigate the mind maze is cool cobbinger
39:52he's straight out of the starting blocks
39:57cobbingers using his training to stay calm he's showing amazing control
40:01cobbingers face the picture of concentration
40:16that was textbook now the results
40:21danielle 41 seconds
40:25amin 56 seconds
40:28raj raj one minute 14 seconds
40:33and cobbinger a staggering 28 seconds he's one cool customer
40:38so rabbiting raj is out and for once he's speechless
40:48walk of eternal regret
40:52it was really bad like coming this far going out right now
40:56but someone had to go out and i'm proud of myself i think danielle would do really well
41:03because she's really focused and steady
41:07so with only two levels left danielle amin and cobbinger stand proud in red
41:13i was quite focused in that game and i'm very relieved that i finally got the red belt
41:19in the training i wasn't so sure in the training i wasn't so sure of myself but i pulled through
41:23there's been something in the biscuits
41:36it's
41:36it's this level which will decide which two of my remaining braineys will go on to battle it out
41:43for the black belt
41:46imagine you're performing a dance as well as you move to remember there's the other dancer to think
41:51about and there's loads of people watching you it's remembering things under pressure like this
41:55that level six is all about
41:58it centers around three areas of the brain the seeing part the occipital lobes the memory part the
42:05temporal lobes and the movement part the cerebellum to the max the room of mental nourishment
42:17with only three brainies remaining this penultimate brain training challenge is all about improving
42:27your memory
42:28brain training memorize a sequence of objects should we start at that end or this end
42:34okay do that bit first
42:38marshmallows drink a hammer a crocodile
42:42so in this task our three remaining red belt holders are exercising their occipital lobes or seeing
42:48part of their brain and their temporal lobes the memory bank glasses
42:54crusty hand water and biscuits um do you want to have a go at remembering them first the bowl of
43:02marshmallows the drink the hammer the crocodile the cat the red cabbage you're doing really well so far
43:11halfway through it just a little bit more the um rubber chicken come on you can do it the
43:18one the scissors i missed out the rat just one mistake is pretty impressive gobina but here's the training tip
43:27tip create a story linking the objects together should we start doing it together
43:32should we all do like one bit i'll do the beginning from this set okay one day someone was eating
43:39drinking
43:40some water and eating biscuits when the biscuits went out so they went to the shop they used their hand
43:46to ring
43:46the bell memory tests like this are a great way of training your brain why not create a story to
43:52memorize all of your classmates in alphabetical order along with a frog and um some red cabbage and an
43:58alligator all right who's going to try this time with the story as well i'll try it okay there was
44:05a guy
44:06who was having some water and biscuits and they decided to go to the shop they used their crusty hand
44:15to call the shopkeeper the shopkeeper came they they were angry with him for being so late so they
44:23turned him into some scissors i think that you did really well but try to fasten up next time
44:30so cool cobina did well in the training will it see him through to the final steady danielle did okay
44:36but she'll have to pick up the pace if she's to succeed and assured amin didn't get to test his
44:42memory will it cost him the brown belt there's only one way to find out as our three brainies now
44:48put
44:48their memory train into the test to secure their place in the final super memory dizzy dance
44:58brainy is spin round and round on dizzy wheel total of ten time task is to use all power of
45:05focus to
45:06memorize five zoomed in picture in front of them then race against clock to cross balancing beam and
45:14collect full-size version of same image from ten hanging above them then they must arrange in order
45:22that they have seen from the wheel when brainy is happy with selection hit gong to stop clock
45:32my tip for the brainies is to keep focused on the main objective and use their training to link the
45:38five images together our final three brave the wheel to compete for their brown brain belt and for a
45:46chance to triumph over the table of supreme focus time to spin will the memory training help our brainies
45:54ignore the effects of the wheel and memorize the images the order they're looking for is at the bottom
46:08of the screen
46:09daddy danielle loses a balance straight away oh the irony the dizziness seems to have really confused
46:16her because she's trying to leave the beam with only two pictures in her hands so the she-han sends
46:21her back you need five danielle danielle was a little slow in the training and the same seems to be
46:29true
46:29here it's like she's so distracted by the dizziness she's forgotten she's against the clock
46:36this is the ultimate test of distraction for her brainies not only are they under pressure as they
46:42race against the clock but they have to fight the dizziness to collect the five full-size images
46:46of the zoomed in pictures they've just seen and arranged them in the exact order they first appeared
46:52every image they get wrong means a five-second penalty
46:58lots of indecision here for danielle she has clearly let the dizziness distract her and seems frustrated
47:04but has it cost her the brown now for assured amin
47:10amin didn't test his memory in the training so how will he fare now
47:16he's certainly taken his time deciding which to pick tick tock amin
47:24the dizziness has definitely distracted him it's like he's just picked any five he could see
47:31don't forget that this challenge decides which two brainies will go through to the final round
47:35the table of supreme focus you won't find the answers up there amin
47:42he definitely struggled with the order there as he just let his place on the table slip through his
47:47fingers
47:51now for cool cobiner
47:57cobiner did well in the training and has been calm and collected throughout his time in the dojo
48:02once again he's not getting flustered but taking it one cool step at a time
48:11backwards walking on the beam good brain and good balance impressive
48:16don't forget that this is the order cobiner is looking for
48:23he seems a little uncertain about the boat and banana
48:28but after a final pause to double check he's finished and it looks like a full house to me
48:34but whose dizziness has cost them their place in the final
48:37time for the results
48:41danielle one minute 50 plus four penalty points that's two minutes 10 seconds in total
48:48amin 142 and a maximum five penalty points two minutes seven in total
48:56danielle's place in the final hangs on cobiner's time one minute 55 seconds and no penalties which
49:03means it's three in a row for cool cobiner and steady danielle is out
49:22walk of eternal regret if i could do that challenge again i would focus more on the pictures and
49:31not just let it spin past me without a second glance i think cobbin is going to win the black
49:37belt
49:38so with only one level to go it leaves just a min and cool cobiner to wear the brown brain
49:43belts
49:44in preparation for the final i saw i had most of them wrong but they actually turned out to be
49:50right
49:50it was just a gut feeling i just heard the results and i was just so happy that i wasn't
49:55out
49:59brain jitsu
50:02eight young hopefuls arrived at brain training dojo to fight for brain jitsu black brain belt
50:08as challenges got tougher brainies got fewer one even went out came back went out again
50:15but one by one have been eliminated until just two remain
50:21cool cobiner who is win last three challenges and seems to be one to beat
50:26my name is actually very good so he might be a big threat
50:31and assured amin who is placed well throughout dojo
50:35common is really good as well so he might win but can underdog take lead in final challenge oh let's
50:42find out
50:44level seven black belt so this is it between my two remaining brainies and the black belt stands brain
50:54jitsu's ultimate challenge a mental jewel that is head to head in every sense the battlefield a table
51:03but not just any table for this my friends is the table of supreme focus where our two brainies will
51:11attempt to move a ball across the table using only the power of their mind by getting this far
51:18they've already demonstrated mental control under many different types of pressure but now they must
51:24learn to focus their minds by entering a state of total calm to prepare them my two finalists will need
51:32to get into the zone room of mental nourishment so it's down to the last two brown brain belt holders
51:43cool cobiner
51:43and amin have one last chance to train their brains to win the black in this final room of mental
51:50nourishment they must bring together all the training they have received in the dojo to achieve the ultimate focus
51:56brain training mentally prepare yourself for the final task don't let the sounds put you off
52:05so our two finalists have to block out the noises and focus only on finding inner calm and concentration
52:13this is weird very weird amin seems a little distracted by the sounds maybe the training tip will help him
52:21find
52:21his focus tip visualize and focus in some way you feel happy and calm
52:37i'm confident about going against cobina
52:42he might be a big threat cool cobiner has won the last three challenges and has been consistently calm
52:49and focused can he keep his composure under the pressure of the final assured amin seems less
52:56focused but will he master his gray matter when it matters the most let's find out to survive the
53:02table of supreme focus and win the black brain belt our brainees must now put all their brain training to
53:08the test table of supreme focus rules are simple each brainee must push ball to the opponent's end of table
53:19using only power of mind sensors in brainies headbands measure brainwaves this is converted into electrical
53:27signal which moves ball more focused mind stronger signal and faster ball will travel see how brainies are
53:36doing on this readout two lines represent each player's brainwaves lower the line more concentrated their mind
53:53to make sure this is the test of all tests our brainees must win the best of three rounds
53:59so this is the big one our two finalists must use all their brain training to enter their zone of
54:06absolute
54:07focus if they are to succeed this is the reason they came to the dojo this is the moment they've
54:14been
54:14training for the she hand starts them off and the mind race is on cool cobbina off to a flying
54:23start
54:24you can see on the computer readout that his low black line is showing a very focused mind
54:54cool cobbina's showing real mental mastery again with that flat low black line
55:02assured a min's green line isn't that much higher but his brainwaves just aren't strong enough to
55:08overtake cobbina's
55:15that's it it's a walkover for cool cobbina he's shown unbelievable focus and really used his training
55:22to the max to prove himself a true master of the mind and worthy winner of the black belt of
55:28brain jitsu
55:30winning the black belt makes me feel extremely happy i feel that um all my training is paid off
55:36glory for one brings disappointment for another i mean fought valiantly but now he must leave the dojo
55:45walk of eternal regret i feel really disappointed but um cobbina deserve to win because he tried really
55:53hard but if i could do it one more time i would be more focused and more relaxed than i
55:58was this time
55:59so i mean almost won but it's a triumph for cool cobbina
56:08he's remained calm and collected through all seven levels of intense brain training and a perfect
56:14performance against a min in the final challenge shows that he is indeed worthy to wear the black
56:20brain belt of brain jitsu
56:25our journey has come to an end another brainy has proven themselves worthy to wear the brain jitsu black belt
56:33but while brain jitsu might represent the most extreme form of brain training its philosophy can be shared by all
56:42each and every one of you has it in your power to grow your mind all it takes dedication and
56:49practice this has been
