00:01CBBC would like to state that no brainies or insects were harmed in the making of this program
00:05and that none of the training you're about to see be attempted unless under expert supervision.
00:10Eight brainies. One challenge.
00:13To use complex mass of 100 billion cells we call Brain for chance to win Brain Jitsu Black Brain Belt.
00:21This is Brain Jitsu.
00:29Born in Lancashire, trained in Japan with mind as sharp as samurai sword.
00:34He is Brain Master. He is the Sensei.
00:39Konnichiwa and welcome to Brain Jitsu.
00:43Mental training specially designed to boost brain power and focus.
00:48My trainees, or brainies, have been following a basic program of training in the comfort of their own home.
00:55A brain boosting routine of exercise, sleep and enough fruit and veg to stock a green grocers.
01:03I'm feeling really confident and I'm going to win that black belt.
01:07I expect myself to get to about the fourth round.
01:10I think all the other competitors are good competitors but they just can't beat me.
01:14Now my brainies must put their training into practice by testing a part of the brain we use every day.
01:20Level one.
01:21You're not a bolt.
01:25Take a look at this crowd of people.
01:27Can you spot the woman in the red jumper?
01:31Spotted, eh? Congratulations.
01:34You've just used your occipital lobes.
01:37This area, the seeing part of our brain, allows us to recognise and separate images from each other.
01:44The seven brainies, who use their occipital lobes the best, will be allowed to enter my Brain Jitsu Dojo, where
01:51their training will continue.
01:53The one who fails will be left outside.
01:56Oh!
01:57Feel the burn.
01:59Enter the Dojo!
02:03Brainies must first answer four questions, by counting the 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 piece of brain and secure their place in the dojo.
02:18But with only seven pieces of brain and eight brainies, one of either Nadia, Sherwa, Nicole, Daniel, Bebe, Monica, Austin
02:28or Florence, will be left outside and eliminated.
02:32The atmosphere in the noodle bar is hotter than flambéed wasabi, as the four questions are revealed.
02:38How many black circles are there?
02:46How many black circles are there?
02:47How many three-sided black shapes are there?
02:55How many small, non-black squares are there?
03:08How many rectangles are there?
03:13The answer our brainies are looking for is two, six, seven, four.
03:20Bebe is first off her stool with Daniel and Monica hot on her heels.
03:24But have they rushed and got the code wrong?
03:28Soon, there's one brainy to each piece of brain and Florence has to wait and hope that one of them
03:33is wrong, or she'll be out.
03:36Bebe is wrong and has gone back to the noodle bar.
03:39But before Florence gets a chance to have a go, Bebe's back at the brain again.
03:45And just as quickly, Bebe's back to the bar.
03:48Florence takes her place at the green piece of brain.
03:52And she's cracked it. First place and all down to focus.
03:56The code of brainies are looking for is two, six, seven, four.
04:00As there are two black circles, six three-sided black shapes, seven small non-black squares and four rectangles.
04:11Monica takes second place, with Nicole coming third and there's a rush for fourth, when Daniel and Bebe finish at
04:18almost the same time.
04:20With only two pieces of brain and two places in the dojo remaining, Austin is left out in the cold,
04:26while Shearer and Nadia try their luck.
04:30They're both wrong.
04:33And so is Austin.
04:35These three must stay calm and focus only on getting the right answer.
04:40Work those occipital lobes.
04:43Is yellow Nadia's lucky colour?
04:45The correct answer, two, six, seven, four.
04:49Nope, she's still wrong.
04:53But Austin's got it, and the yellow piece is released.
04:56Now just Shearer and Nadia are left to go head to head for the final place in the dojo.
05:02But there's no contest, because before you can say salmon sashimi smells saucy, Shearer's in and Nadia's out.
05:10So, as Seven entered the dojo for a chance to survive six more gruelling levels of brain training, for Nadia,
05:17the dream of the black belt has ended before it even started.
05:25I think it went wrong where I wasn't looking properly at the triangle, because there was six and I put
05:32five, and I was rushing, and it was a bit nerve-wracking.
05:36I don't think I'd get eliminated straight away.
05:41So, with six levels to go, Florence, Monica, Nicole, Daniel, Beebe, Austin, and Shearer have entered the dojo, and achieved
05:50the first of their coloured brain belts.
05:53I'm really relieved to get through, because there was three people left, and I knew that if you were the
05:57last one, you're going out.
05:58So I fought my hardest, and I got through.
06:01I think I was good at that game, because I'm really good at focusing that thing.
06:04I feel I'm very lucky to get through, because it was very close at the end.
06:12In this next level of training, things are going to get really hard.
06:17Level two, Orange Vault.
06:21You can do things every day, without even thinking, like brushing your teeth.
06:25But, haha, you try brushing them using the hand you wouldn't normally use.
06:30See how you get on.
06:32If you manage to do that, you're using part of your brain that deals with problem solving, the frontal lobes.
06:38And that's what level two is all about.
06:41Taking something you normally do without thinking, and doing it differently.
06:46Work it!
06:47To prepare them for using their frontal lobes in the next challenge, my brainies are going to need some training.
06:53The Room of Mental Nourishment.
06:57The Room of Mental Nourishment is where our young hopefuls will train their brains to help them to progress to
07:02the next levels of the dojo.
07:03The more serious the brainies take the training, the better prepared they'll be for the challenges that lie ahead.
07:08And in level two, that challenge is all about getting their brains to think in a new way.
07:14One brainy swings the pendulum, the other tries to catch it, blindfolded.
07:21So, come on, we need to get into pairs.
07:24I'll do it.
07:29This exercise makes our brainies work their frontal lobes, as they have to really think about judging time and space.
07:36Something you wouldn't normally think about at all.
07:40Yawks!
07:40Oh, that was so wicked.
07:43Best buds, Bubbly Beebe and Florence are definitely in it to win it.
07:47But the boys don't seem to be taking it very seriously at all.
07:50Training tip time.
07:52Repeat a word in your head.
07:54In time with a pendulum.
07:58Crash, bang, wallop.
08:01Crash, bang, wallop.
08:03That's cheating, Monica.
08:05You've spread your arms so wide, of course you're going to catch it.
08:09The boys are still messing about.
08:11Austin's not doing it properly at all.
08:12And Sherwood can't seem to find his rhythm.
08:15If you want to work your frontal lobes at home, why not do some kitchen counting?
08:19See if you can count to three minutes for the perfect soft boiled egg.
08:23It may sound silly, but it'll help improve your focus.
08:25And it's fun.
08:28Me, me, me, me.
08:31It's all about me.
08:33I don't know, those girls have got egos bigger than a sumo supermarket, Bill.
08:37And there seems to be a bit of rivalry amongst them.
08:41We're very good at that.
08:43We're the masters, yeah.
08:44No, you're not.
08:44No, you're not.
08:45Trust me.
08:46You're going down.
08:47Yeah, down the drain.
08:48It's because the only brain you have is on your head start.
08:51You don't have to go upset something.
08:53We're going to win.
08:54A game went out last round, which proves that we're going to win.
08:57I think it was easy.
08:58And if it's like that the next round, I think I'll go through.
09:02Austin didn't take the training seriously, but he seems sure he'll go through.
09:06Is there such a thing as Austin mental powers?
09:09Me, me, Monica and Shewer didn't seem to grasp the task.
09:13Will it affect their performance?
09:15And Focus Florence and Best Bud Beebe did well.
09:18But will it get them their orange brain belt?
09:21There's only one way to find out.
09:22It's time for our brainies to put their training to the test.
09:26Guardian of the dojo and Task Adjudicator the Sheehan will now demonstrate the level 2 challenge.
09:33Countdown box pop!
09:36Brainies are all given a time, say 12 seconds.
09:39They must then squat down inside the box as soon as Sheehan Bang Gong.
09:44Start counting.
09:46Then, when they think time is up, must jump out of the box.
09:53Brainie or brainies closest to target time will go through to next level.
09:58Brainies continue like this until only one remain and is eliminated from dojo.
10:04My brainies must remember to control their breathing.
10:08The quicker they breathe, the faster they'll count.
10:12Work those frontal lobes!
10:16For the first round, our brainies have to count to 27 seconds.
10:22If you want to play along at home, shut your eyes on the gong.
10:25Start counting up to 27, then open them when you think the time is up.
10:35To make this even harder, the Sheehan is banging about on a bucket.
10:40In the dark confines of their boxes, our brainies have to focus on thinking about time passing in a totally
10:46new way.
10:47Will they remember their training?
11:07Daniel's way behind everyone else there, but who got it right and how close were you to that 27 seconds?
11:14Well, if you opened your eyes when Nicole, Beebe and Florence popped up, then congratulations.
11:18They were all closest to the 27 seconds.
11:23The three girls did well in the training and it paid off.
11:26That makes it two wins in a row for Focus Florence and best bud Bubbly Beebe couldn't look happier.
11:32But the boys looked far from pleased.
11:36Next time in 15 seconds.
11:39Why not play along at home? Start counting on the gong.
11:45It's just Monica, Danielle, Sherwood and Austin now counting to win their place in the next level.
12:04Only three orange brain belts left, but who was closest to the 15 seconds?
12:09If you agreed with Danielle and Sherwood's timing, then you would have also gone through.
12:14Which means either Mimi, Monica or Austin will be out of the dojo.
12:18Austin looks worried.
12:23Final round, 32 seconds.
12:32Austin didn't really take the training seriously and Monica didn't really do it properly either.
12:37But which one is going to be out of the dojo for good?
13:03Austin's significantly earlier than Monica. Has he gone too early?
13:13Both brainies holding their breath
13:15As they wait to see who's got that final orange brain belt
13:18You could cut the atmosphere with a very sharp chopstick
13:23So, Austin Mental Powers is in
13:25And Monica is out
13:27As Bebe waves a sad farewell
13:31Book of eternal regret
13:35I found the brain training useful
13:37But it was just the concentration and the actual task
13:40That just went
13:41I feel that Florence should win the black belt
13:45Because she's been very confident
13:47And she's been doing very well so far
13:51With five levels left
13:52Only Florence, Nicole, Daniel, Bebe, Austin and Shewa
13:57Have gained their orange brain belts
13:59Now I think it's even three boys and three girls
14:01But I just, I think the boys are going to show off
14:03That no boys have left yet
14:05I didn't really concentrate on the training
14:07Because I, I sort of think I can do it all on my own
14:10And that's, I normally lose that stuff if I do that
14:16Brainy two
14:20Brainy, not so brainy
14:23Who's the clever clogs and whose brain needs a lot more training?
14:27The Gogglebox, what an invention
14:29And it's all down to this geezer from Bonnie, Scotland
14:31Mr. John Logie Baird
14:33John was too ill to fight in the First World War
14:35So he spent ten years tinkering with electronics
14:38Until bingo
14:39Bingo!
14:40He goes and discovers a way of sending pictures through thin air
14:43And TV was born
14:44Truly visionary
14:46Oi, look, it's John Logie Baird again
14:48Did you know that before he invented television
14:51He faffed around trying to make diamonds by heating graphite
14:54That's the stuff you get in pencils
14:55So, did it work?
14:57Did it ek?
14:58He cut off Glasgow's power supply
15:00I agree, numpty
15:01Brainy, John Logie Baird
15:04Not so brainy
15:05John Logie Baird
15:08Brain Jitsu
15:12Pressure in Brain Jitsu Dojo Rising
15:14Now, just six young hopeful remain to compete
15:17Under what shall I of Shihan
15:20Daniel, placed midway in both rounds
15:22Probably BB
15:24I think my biggest competition is probably Florence
15:27She is very smart
15:30Shiwa, who stayed in background so far
15:32But could be one to watch
15:34Nicole and focus Florence
15:36The boys are really strong
15:37But I think me and BB are doing really well as well
15:40And Austin Mental Powers
15:42I thought I was getting it spot on every time
15:44Because we do it in school
15:45But I was obviously not
15:47Challenges about to get even tougher
15:49Only two brainy will make final test
15:52Table of supreme focus
15:54Where must move ball with power of mind
15:57For chance to win
15:58Brain Jitsu Black Brain Belt
16:00It's time for
16:02Level 3
16:03Weed Belt
16:06Now, we all like to chat
16:08But did you know
16:09That using words to communicate
16:11Is one of the main reasons why
16:12Our brains have grown so incredibly powerful
16:15And that having a conversation
16:17Exercises both halves of the brain
16:20Now, if all that's doing your head in
16:22Allow me to explain
16:25Think of it like a football match
16:27A player is focused on his own performance
16:30But the manager
16:31He has to think about all his players
16:33That's it, Alex
16:35All the way
16:35It's the same with the brain
16:38There's the left half
16:39Which deals with the details
16:40And there's the right half
16:42Which looks at the overall picture
16:43This next level of training
16:46Strengthens my brainy's focus
16:48By working one half of their brain
16:50Under pressure
16:51Hey, pump it up
16:53The Room of Mental Nourishment
17:00It's our second visit
17:01To the brain training
17:02Room of Mental Nourishment
17:03Brainy's have a choice
17:05As to whether they take part or not
17:06But any extra training they do
17:08Will help them with the challenge
17:09For Level 3
17:11It's communication
17:14Brain training
17:15Get into two groups
17:17One group describes a picture
17:18In front of them
17:19The other group draws it
17:21So, our brainy's are in two groups
17:23One group should use the right side of their brains
17:26To describe clearly how to draw the picture
17:28At the bottom row and going up to the top row
17:31The other team should use the left side of their brains
17:33To concentrate on interpreting those instructions
17:36And draw the same picture
17:37It has two parallel lines going up
17:42And they are mirrored in the line in between number 3 and 4
17:50The boys' instructions are about as helpful as a rice cooker in a noodle factory
17:54Training tip time, I think
17:56If it is, use clear instructions
17:58Imagine yourself hearing them
18:01The line in between 3 and 4
18:03The key to this task is to communicate clearly with short instructions
18:06Talk one at a time and listen to each other
18:09You must work as one team
18:11After all, you might be on the other side of the fence in the next challenge
18:14Do two, one square
18:16Then draw a line about half a centimetre
18:19Wait, wait, wait, wait
18:20Don't you, look
18:21The girls seem to be listening well
18:23But unfortunately, the instructions they're hearing
18:26Are about as easy to follow as a Japanese menu without pictures
18:30Can we see what you've drawn so far?
18:32Okay
18:32I do that
18:34I don't think you've done that
18:35No, no, the only mistake is that
18:38You're probably not even saying it right
18:40Exactly
18:41Can we see the picture please?
18:42If you want
18:44How is that to explain it?
18:47Honestly, if you guys even get to the next round
18:50And this is in it
18:52You're definitely not going to get through
18:55I don't think the boys are that good at instructing
18:58Because they didn't really, like, say
19:00The width or the how long it would be
19:03I think they're going to be absolutely terrible in the next task
19:06So, the boys did pretty badly
19:08Will they pull through the next challenge?
19:10The girls didn't have much chance to get their picture right
19:13Will it knock their confidence for the next round?
19:16Time to find out
19:17As our six now put their communication training to the test
19:20To compete for their green brain belts
19:24Barrow to do maths quick
19:27This level tests how well our brainies can communicate
19:30So, our six need to be in teams of two
19:33The chopsticks will decide their pairs
19:36So, we have Bibi and Nicole
19:38Who both listened in the training
19:40Dan and Austin
19:41Who both talked in the training
19:42And one of each
19:44Shewa and Florence
19:47Quickly as possible
19:48Team must tip over six barrels
19:50Containing number that go together to make some
19:53Pairs need to decide
19:55Who is Guider
19:56Who is Tipper
19:57As Tippers will be blindfolded
19:59They will be relying on Guider
20:01To help them find barrels
20:04Once all six have been tipped
20:06Brainies stop clock by shouting
20:09Rinjitsu
20:10Quicker they up end barrels
20:12More time to pick up number
20:14And make some
20:15When brainy happy with answer
20:18Hit gong
20:21First two teams to work out correct answer
20:24Will get green belt
20:25And advance to next level
20:27One brainy from losing team
20:29Will be eliminated
20:31The key to success here
20:33Is for the Guider
20:34To use the right side of their brain
20:36To follow their team mate's progress
20:38And give them clear instructions
20:40For their partner
20:41It's vital
20:42They use the left side of their brain
20:45To focus on these instructions
20:47And nothing else
20:52First to put their communication training to the test
20:55Are Bibi and Nicole
20:56They were both on the listening team
20:58In the training
20:58Can Bibi get the right side of her brain
21:01Warmed up quick enough
21:02To guide Nicole
21:03To tip the first barrel
21:04No, put a hand down
21:06They're struggling so far
21:07Step back a bit
21:09Okay, hand up
21:11A bit to the left
21:12No, not that one, wrong
21:14A bit to the left
21:17Okay, pull
21:18Tip
21:20Finally
21:20That's first one done
21:21A bit to the right
21:24Okay, hand up
21:26A bit to the left
21:28Pull
21:29Tip
21:30Okay, step forward
21:31Two down
21:32Four to go
21:33The key to good communication
21:34Is to stay calm
21:36And give clear instructions
21:37Bibi is looking a little flustered
21:41Brain jitsu
21:43They've finished in two minutes
21:44And one second
21:45But Bibi's relief is much clearer
21:48Than her instructions were
21:49Now Shewa and focus Florence
21:52Another one
21:53Another step
21:54Please
21:55Back a bit
21:56Shewa talked
21:57And Florence listened in the training
21:58And they've gone for the same combo here
22:00Hand out
22:02Up
22:02But it's not really paying off so far
22:04Because these two are really struggling
22:06With the first barrel
22:07A bit more
22:09To the left
22:10Back a bit
22:13Tip
22:16Tip
22:17Tip
22:20Tip
22:20Tip
22:23Rain jitsu
22:24They've finished
22:25But with a time of two minutes
22:27Seventeen seconds
22:28It isn't really a high five moment
22:32Finally
22:32The boys
22:33Dan and Austin
22:35Right arm up
22:37Off a bit more
22:38The boys didn't do very well
22:40In the room of mental nourishment
22:41But the training tip
22:42Must have sunk in
22:43Because Dan is using
22:44The right side of his brain
22:45Brilliantly
22:46To give short
22:47Clear instructions
22:48And Austin's mental powers
22:50Are working overtime
22:50As he listens
22:51With the left side
22:53Tip
22:59Top
23:00Rain jitsu
23:01They've finished already
23:02And with a time of one minute
23:04Thirty four seconds
23:05The boys are the first
23:06To collect their numbers
23:09These are the numbers
23:10Our teams are looking for
23:12See if you can work out the answer
23:18Focus, Florence and Shearer
23:19Were the last to collect their numbers
23:21But they've gonged already
23:22So either Bubbly Bebe
23:24And Nicole
23:24Or Dan and Austin
23:25Will be in the stair-off
23:29The boys are looking panicked
23:31They should stay calm
23:47Nine times four
23:48Plus seven equals forty-three
23:55All three teams got the sum right
23:57There's just one thing though
24:01That's right
24:02Dan and Austin
24:03Were too slow
24:04And now they face each other
24:05In their
24:06Stair off
24:11With just one green belt
24:13Up for grabs
24:13Both brainies
24:14Must use all their powers
24:16Of focus
24:16To fight the urge
24:17To blink
24:20The first to falter
24:21Will be eliminated
24:26Oh it's all over
24:27So Dan's in
24:29And Austin Mental Powers
24:30Is out
24:31And he looks gutted
24:32Walk of eternal regret
24:36I think it went wrong
24:38Because I'm not really good
24:39At eye contests
24:41And laughing contests
24:42Because I'm very giggly
24:43And I like to blink a lot
24:45So that's probably why
24:47I didn't go through
24:48So with four levels left
24:50It's green brain belts
24:51For Florence
24:52Nicole
24:52Daniel
24:53Bibi
24:53And Shewa
24:54I was really relieved
24:56Because Austin was really good
24:58At the staying competition
24:59But at the last minute
25:01He accidentally moved his hands
25:03And that put him off
25:04The training didn't really help
25:06Because the boys were really
25:07Really rubbish at it
25:08We might as well have just guessed
25:10What they had on the board really
25:14Rain Titu
25:18Level four
25:19Blue vault
25:21This fourth level
25:22Requires our brainies
25:24To master a primitive part
25:25Of the brain
25:26Called the amygdala
25:27The area
25:29That responds to threat
25:33Remember the last time
25:35You felt afraid
25:36Or panicky
25:37Maybe you'd just seen a spider
25:38Well
25:39That feeling
25:40Was triggered
25:41By the old amygdala
25:43Now stress
25:44Can make you lose focus
25:46Fact
25:47Which is why my brainies
25:50Must train
25:50To keep their emotions
25:52Under control
25:53Prepare to harness
25:55The power of the mind
25:57The room of mental nourishment
26:02We're back in the room
26:03Of mental nourishment
26:04And it's time for our five
26:06Remaining green belt holders
26:07To overcome fear
26:08And stay totally focused
26:10Brain training
26:11From a circle
26:12Pass the disgusting drink
26:14Around the circle
26:15Only passing it on
26:18When you have said
26:19Different animal
26:20After one minute
26:21The brainy holding the drink
26:23Has to drink it
26:24And today's drink
26:25Is cod liver oil
26:27Dog
26:27Cat
26:29Bat
26:32Horse
26:36Shetland sheepdog
26:38No I said dog
26:40No I said dog
26:40I said Shetland sheepdog
26:43Focus Florence
26:44Isn't focused on the word
26:45She's focused on her fear
26:47Dragon
26:49Mouse
26:50Rat
26:52And Nicole
26:53Mustn't let the fear
26:54Of the drink get to her
26:56Slick
26:57Unicorn
26:59Zebra
27:01Magpie
27:03The gong means
27:04That's a minute up
27:05And Shewa
27:06Has to drink
27:07The cod liver oil
27:08And he takes
27:08A big old gulp
27:10But wait
27:11What's this
27:13Dan's trying to
27:14Prove himself a man
27:14By having to try himself
27:17Now they're all at it
27:19Guys
27:20It's supposed to be
27:21A forfeit
27:22Training tip time
27:24Tip
27:24Welcome the drink
27:26As your friend
27:27It holds the answer
27:29Paddock
27:31Cow
27:31If you practice
27:33This technique at home
27:34It will allow you
27:35To keep your emotions
27:35Under control
27:36Stop you from panicking
27:38And help you focus
27:39Better in situations
27:40Like exams
27:42Focus Florence
27:43Is being fearful again
27:44Around the time
27:45Gorilla
27:46I love you
27:47Polar bear
27:48Me
27:50Penguin
27:50We've already said human
27:52No
27:53Who thinks you should drink it
27:54I do
27:55I do
27:56I'm sorry
27:58But you are officially
27:59Drinking the cod liver oil
28:02Oh god
28:06I had a technique
28:07That you'd have
28:09That I thought of
28:10Animal
28:10Straight in advance
28:12After I'd just done
28:13Animal
28:13I thought it wasn't fair
28:15Because everybody
28:16Voted that I should
28:18Drink it
28:18And the smell
28:19Is just
28:22I thought that Nicole
28:23Should drink it again
28:24For two reasons
28:25Because
28:26Bebe had said human
28:27And when
28:29Nicole said
28:29Be
28:30Me
28:30It was a bit
28:32Related
28:33And also
28:34I didn't want it to get around
28:35To me again
28:36So Focus Florence
28:38Seems to have lost her focus
28:39Can she get it back
28:40For the next challenge
28:41Dan the man
28:42Fearlessly drank
28:43When he didn't need to
28:44Will it take him
28:45Through to the next level
28:47There's only one way
28:48To find out
28:48As our five
28:49Now put their train
28:50Into the test
28:51To overcome fear
28:52And compete
28:53For their blue brain belt
28:54Creepy Crawly
28:55Word grab
28:57This level
28:58Real test of mind
28:59Over matter
29:00For brainies
29:01And will push them
29:02To really overcome
29:03Their fear
29:03Underneath the creepy crawlies
29:05Lie an assortment
29:06Of letters
29:07Worth different points
29:08Brainies have just
29:09One minute
29:10To plunge hands
29:11Into tank
29:12And pick out
29:13Up to seven letters
29:14Each
29:14They then have
29:15A further minute
29:16To make higher
29:17Scoring word
29:18They can
29:21To do well
29:22My brainies
29:23Must block out
29:24The signals
29:24Coming from their
29:25Amygdala
29:26And ignore
29:26The creepy crawlies
29:28The quicker
29:29They combat
29:29Their fear
29:30The more time
29:31They'll have
29:31To pick out
29:32The high scoring
29:33Letters
29:36As the she-hand
29:37Reveals
29:37The meal worms
29:38Nicole is looking
29:40A little worried
29:41But bubbly
29:42Bebe
29:43Is bubbling over
29:44With excitement
29:56Florence
29:57Florence pulling a few faces
29:58But she's still
29:59Pulling out letters
30:02Underneath the meal worms
30:04Are an extra five
30:05Golden letters
30:05If our brainies
30:07Manage to use one
30:08In their word
30:08They'll double their score
30:12Bubbly Bebe
30:12Counting our letters there
30:14Don't forget
30:14The maximum amount
30:15Is seven
30:19The gong
30:20Means their minute
30:21Is up
30:21And now
30:22Our brainies
30:23Have another minute
30:23To make the longest
30:24Word they can
30:25Out of the letters
30:26They've collected
30:28See if you can make
30:29A word from the
30:30Anagram on the screen
30:31Now
30:33All our brainies
30:34Did well to override
30:35Their amygdalas
30:36In the challenge
30:36They have all picked
30:38Out their maximum
30:38Seven letters
30:40So
30:41How have our green belt
30:42Holders fared
30:44Tagged
30:46It's a good word
30:47But wait
30:48The she hand's going over
30:52Florence
30:52Your D
30:53Is actually an O
30:54No points for
30:55Tagio
30:56Focus Florence
30:57She looks worried
30:58And for good reason
30:59Jug
31:00That word gets
31:02Nicole a
31:03Jug-tastic
31:03Eight points
31:05Dome
31:06Seven points
31:07For Dan the man
31:08Lord
31:11Lordy lordy
31:12Bebe gets six points
31:13Finally
31:14Shewa
31:15Cup
31:17Shewa's cup
31:18Runneth over
31:19With seven points
31:21That means that
31:22Focused Florence
31:23Is the only brainy
31:24With no points
31:26She has to leave
31:27The dojo
31:27And her buddy
31:29Bubbly Bebe
31:29Looks distraught
31:31Walk of
31:32Eternal
31:33Regret
31:34I think that
31:36Bebe will win
31:36The black belt
31:37Because she's
31:38Really confident
31:39And she's done
31:40Really well so far
31:42So with only
31:43Three levels to go
31:44Nicole
31:45Daniel
31:46Bebe
31:46And Shewa
31:48Proudly wear
31:49Their blue brain belts
31:50The training helped me
31:51A little bit
31:52Because it made me
31:53Understand that
31:53Cod liver
31:54Is really disgusting
31:55So I really needed
31:56To think about
31:57Something that I liked
31:58When I saw
31:59The little
32:00Poo-poo-pooly
32:01I knew that
32:02They weren't going to
32:02Harm me
32:03And I needed
32:04Some points
32:04So I just like
32:05Dug my hand
32:09Brain T2
32:12Brainy
32:13Not so brainy
32:16Who's the clever clogs
32:17And whose brain
32:18Needs a lot more training
32:19Ah the good old toilet
32:21The WC
32:22What would we do
32:23Without it
32:23Let's not go there
32:24Most people credit
32:25A British plumber
32:26Called Thomas Crapper
32:27With the invention
32:28But actually
32:29The idea of the toilet
32:30Was first hatched
32:31Just over 400 years ago
32:33When a geezer
32:33John Harrington
32:34Installed one
32:35In his godmother's house
32:36Her name
32:37Elizabeth I
32:38Well you can't blame
32:40A queen
32:40For wanting to be ladylike
32:41Another name
32:42For toilet
32:43Is bog
32:43And for the last
32:4420 years
32:45Hundreds of hopefuls
32:46Have been headed
32:46For Wales
32:47Come summer time
32:48With dreams of becoming
32:49The world bog snorkelling champion
32:50I'll bog off
32:52Brainy
32:53Sir John Harrington
32:54Not Sir Brainy
32:55Bog snorkellers
32:57Brain Jitsu
33:01Attention in Brain Jitsu
33:02Dojo mounting
33:03Now just four young hopeful
33:05Remain
33:06To compete under
33:07Watchful eye of
33:08Sheehan
33:09Dan the man
33:11Nicole
33:11I feel great
33:12That I've made it through
33:14And if I go out
33:15In the next round
33:16I know that I'll leave
33:17With the blue belt
33:18And I'm very proud of myself
33:19Jiwa
33:21And Bubbly Bebe
33:22My biggest competition
33:24At the moment
33:24Is everyone really
33:25But maybe Daniel
33:26And Nicole in particular
33:29Only two brainy
33:30Will make it to final test
33:32Table of supreme forecast
33:33Where
33:34Must move ball
33:35With power of mind
33:36Brain Jitsu
33:38Black brain belt
33:38Is within the grasp
33:40Is time for
33:42Level five
33:43Red vault
33:45Now
33:46If you're learning
33:47How to bull ride
33:48Then you might be
33:49Interested to know
33:50That your new hobby
33:51Is doing wonders
33:52For your old grey matter
33:55Exercising both
33:56The thinking part
33:56Of the brain
33:57The cerebrum
33:58And
33:59The doing part
34:00The cerebellum
34:01You see
34:02Doing new things
34:03Increases the flow of blood
34:05Into your head
34:05Which keeps your brain cells
34:07Topped up
34:08With the oxygen they need
34:09To perform at their best
34:11So in level five
34:13My brainy's are going to be challenged
34:15To learn new skills
34:16Now you can speed up
34:18How quickly the brain
34:19Takes in new stuff
34:21And this is what our brainy's
34:23Are going to train for now
34:24The room of mental nourishment
34:30It's our brainy's fourth visit
34:32To the room of mental nourishment
34:34And for this brain training exercise
34:35They're going to be working their brains
34:37By learning a new skill
34:40Brain training
34:41Juggle the two balls
34:43Using one hand
34:44For as long as possible
34:49This exercise works both the thinking
34:51And the doing part of your brain
34:53And in order to succeed
34:55You have to control your mind
34:56To control your body
34:58Girls are obviously better
35:00How come you don't see
35:01Any woman clown
35:02I can't do this
35:04And it's not
35:05Because I'm a girl
35:06Oh hey
35:06Training tip time
35:07Yeah
35:09Tip
35:09Have confidence
35:11Compliment each other
35:12You're very good Daniel
35:15Hey
35:15No need for sarcasm Bibi
35:17I think that you're getting
35:19Really good at that Nicole
35:20Thanks
35:20And you can throw it up
35:22Really hard
35:23Bibi
35:23Yeah
35:24I love your hair
35:25I'm jealous
35:27You're supposed to be
35:28Complimenting her juggling Nicole
35:29Not her hair
35:31You need to compliment Nicole now
35:32No way
35:34Okay
35:34Nicole you're better than Bibi
35:36You've got big ears
35:44Bibi I think you're doing really well
35:46By chucking one ball up in the air
35:48You could almost catch them now
35:50There seems to be a battle going on
35:52Between Dan the man and bubbly Bibi
35:54Or is it because they secretly like each other
35:56Show me you're really good
35:57You're really better than me
36:00Boosting your confidence
36:01Boosting your confidence really can help if you're learning something new
36:03If you stay positive tell yourself you can do it
36:06You're much more likely to succeed at your new skill
36:09I feel a bit nervous and I think I'll use what I learnt just now
36:13Well I'm not actually sure Bibi knows what a compliment is
36:16We know it's good to compliment people
36:18Because it boosts our confidence and everything
36:21So that's why we didn't because we wanted to off-put boys
36:24But I complimented Nicole
36:26You know I wanted to help her
36:28So no one really concentrated on the juggling
36:31Bubbly Bibi and Dan the man
36:33Were more interested in winding each other up
36:36Our four must now put their training to the test
36:39To learn a new skill for their red brain belt
36:44Mind maze
36:47To win red belt
36:48Brainies must remain mentally confident
36:51As they learn new physical skill
36:53Brainie must guide marble to end of maze on their helmet
36:57By tilting head using the screen in front of them as guide
37:01But there is twist
37:04Image they are seeing is in reverse
37:06That mean to go right they must tilt left
37:09What is more brainie is up against clock
37:13Brainie with slowest time will be eliminated
37:16The tip for my brainies in this next task is to
37:21Remain calm and think positive thoughts
37:24Giving in to frustration will only lessen their focus and slow them up
37:31Nicole's up first
37:33None of our brainies really concentrated in the training
37:36But Nicole has been very calm and confident throughout her time in the dojo
37:40And this should help here
37:42She's struggling with getting off the starting blocks
37:45But she looks like she's staying mentally focused
37:47And isn't getting frustrated
37:49Which will help her with this new skill
37:57It was a steady run and she's done
38:00Now Dan the man
38:05Dan spent most of the training ribbing Beebe and not practising his new skill
38:11He's struggling with the beginning here and it's showing in his face
38:14He must stay mentally focused to master his new physical skill
38:23He's found his centre and his control of the ball follows suit
38:26A good run
38:27Now bubbly Beebe
38:35Beebe didn't really concentrate in the training
38:37And instead of complimenting her juggling skills
38:39Nicole complimented Beebe's hair
38:41I wonder what it's going to look like after that helmet comes off
38:45She's getting a little flustered
38:47She must calm down if she's to succeed
38:51A little overzealous with the mind maze there
38:54Control is the key to this challenge
38:56Pace yourself to really think about which way to tip your head
39:01Beebe's learnt quickly to restrain herself
39:03And is now slowed right down
39:06And her newfound calm has paid off
39:08Because she's finished
39:09But was it fast enough to get her the red?
39:12Finally, Shewa
39:16It's a good start for Shewa
39:19Shewa isn't as naturally confident as the others
39:21And has stayed fairly quiet throughout his time in the dojo
39:25He seems to be stuck in the middle section
39:27His wide eyes show that he's the opposite of calm
39:33He must find his mental focus to master the mind maze
39:36But he seems to be struggling
39:39Shewa's finished
39:40But has his lack of focus cost him the red?
39:43Now for the results
39:46Nicole, 2 minutes 30 seconds
39:49Daniel, 1 minute 34 seconds
39:54Beebe, 2 minutes 6 seconds
39:57Nicole's place in the dojo
39:59All hangs on Shewa's time
40:014 minutes and 17 seconds
40:04So, Nicole's in and Shewa's out
40:12Walk of eternal regret
40:16The tip said that to be confident in yourself
40:19And that's what I tried to do
40:21When I was moving to one side
40:23It was moving to the opposite side
40:25So it was really confusing
40:26I think Daniel will win the black belt
40:29Because he's done well in most of the tasks so far
40:31So with only two levels left
40:33Nicole, Daniel and Beebe
40:35Stand proud in red
40:36I like the new red thing
40:39It's nice
40:41But what I really want to aim for is the black one
40:43I think Daniel's my biggest competitor
40:46Because he's done mostly really good
40:49I think my biggest competitor is probably Beebe
40:52Hopefully Sugar out next round
40:58Rain Teeter
41:01Level 6
41:05It's this level which will decide which two of my remaining brainies
41:10Will go on to battle it out for the black belt
41:15Imagine you're performing a dance
41:17As well as your moves to remember
41:18There's the other dancer to think about
41:20And there's loads of people watching you
41:22It's remembering things under pressure like this
41:24That level 6 is all about
41:26It centres around three areas of the brain
41:30The seeing part
41:31The occipital lobes
41:33The memory part
41:34The temporal lobes
41:36And the movement part
41:37The cerebellum
41:39To the max
41:40The room of mental nourishment
41:45With only three brainies remaining
41:47This penultimate brain training challenge is all about improving your memory
41:53Memorise the train map
41:55Is that it?
41:57Yep
41:57Nothing else
41:58In this task
42:01Our three remaining red belt holders
42:03Are exercising their occipital lobes
42:05Or seeing part of their brain
42:06And their temporal lobes
42:08The memory bank
42:09But they've only got one minute to memorise the map
42:12And they seem to be spending most of it
42:13Deciding who's doing what
42:15I'll memorise the map
42:16I'll memorise
42:17So I'll take this bit
42:21Finally
42:22They're quieting down long enough
42:23To do some memorising
42:25But before long
42:26That minute is up
42:32Nottingham
42:35Belfast
42:36Glasgow
42:38Bristol
42:39Bristol
42:39No, no, Bristol's not on it
42:41Not a brilliant effort, Dan
42:43Who's next?
42:44Cambridge
42:44Bristol
42:45Um, Leicester
42:49Barnsley
42:51Cardiff
42:53Nottingham
42:54Nottingham
42:54I can't remember anymore
42:55How many of them?
42:56Middlesbrough and Worcester
42:58Bristol
42:59Yeah
43:00London
43:00Yeah
43:01Brighton
43:03Dublin
43:03Yep
43:04Yep
43:05Taughton
43:06Not the right
43:06And the one that's right at the bottom
43:09That starts with an E
43:10X style
43:13Um, and that's what I can remember
43:15Not a full edge between them
43:17Time for a training tip
43:20Split the tasks
43:22Memorise a train line each
43:27Memory tests like this are a great way of training your brain
43:30But don't try and memorise too much
43:33Or you'll end up forgetting it all
43:34Exeter
43:36Taunton
43:37Reading
43:38Um, Worcester
43:40Barnsley
43:42Stafford
43:43Newcastle
43:45And
43:45Oh
43:46Castley
43:47Other way round
43:50London, Oxford, Bristol
43:53Leicester
43:56Preston
43:57And Glasgow
43:57No, you've got Nottingham
43:59Oh, sorry
44:00Okay, okay
44:01I'll start again
44:01London, Oxford
44:03Leicester
44:04Nottingham
44:05Preston
44:05Glasgow
44:06You've got Bristol
44:07Oh
44:08Edinburgh
44:09Manchester
44:10Carp
44:11No
44:11Belfast
44:13Cardiff
44:14Middlesborough
44:14Cambridge
44:16Warwick
44:17Um
44:18Oh, I forgot
44:19Brian
44:20Brighton
44:22I think
44:23I got all of them
44:23I think
44:24No, you did not
44:25No, I did
44:26No, you did not
44:27You forgot two
44:28No, I didn't
44:29You did forget
44:30You did forget two
44:31Which ones did I forget?
44:33Yeah
44:33You forgot Barnsley
44:35Yes
44:35No, I didn't
44:36I can't remember
44:37Let's see who's right, shall we?
44:40Worcester
44:42Barnsley
44:42Stafford
44:43Newcastle
44:44Phoebe's right
44:45She did say Barnsley
44:46Nicole's memory
44:47Obviously isn't as good
44:48As she thinks
44:50After this training
44:51I feel quite
44:52Focused
44:53And prepared
44:54If it's
44:56Like this
44:56It's probably me
44:57To be eliminated
44:59So
44:59Dan the man
45:00Thinks he's a goner
45:01Will it be two girls
45:02In the final
45:03Or will he master
45:04His memory
45:05When it really matters
45:06There's only one way
45:07To find out
45:08As our final three
45:09Must now put their
45:10Memory train
45:11Into the test
45:12To secure their place
45:13On the table
45:14Of supreme focus
45:16Super memory
45:17Dizzy dance
45:20Brainy is spin round
45:22And round
45:23On dizzy wheel
45:24Total of ten time
45:25Task
45:26Is to use
45:27All power of focus
45:28To memorize
45:29Five zoomed in picture
45:31In front of them
45:32Then
45:33Three seconds clock
45:34To cross balancing beam
45:36And collect
45:36Full sized version
45:38Of same image
45:39From ten
45:40Hanging above them
45:41Then
45:42They must arrange
45:43In order
45:44That they have seen
45:45From the wheel
45:46When Brainy
45:47Is happy with selection
45:49Hit gong
45:50To stop clock
45:54My tip for the Brainy's
45:56Is to keep focused
45:57On the main objective
45:58And use their training
46:00To link the five images
46:02Together
46:05So
46:06Our final three
46:07Brave the wheel
46:08To compete
46:08For their brown brain belt
46:09And for a chance
46:11To triumph
46:11Over the table
46:12Of supreme focus
46:13Time to spin
46:16Will the memory training
46:17Help our brainies
46:18Ignore the effects
46:19Of the wheel
46:19And memorize the images
46:21The order they are
46:22Looking for
46:22Is at the bottom
46:23Of the screen now
46:33Oh
46:33Bit of a wobble
46:34For Nicole
46:35Then she grabs
46:35The first picture
46:36No problem
46:38But now
46:39It looks like
46:39She's flummoxed
46:40Nicole
46:41Did the same
46:42In the training
46:42She got the first
46:43Few stations
46:44Very quickly
46:45And then
46:45She got stuck
46:47It's only five images
46:48You've got to remember
46:49Nicole
46:50Our brainies
46:51Are under pressure
46:52As they race
46:53Against the clock
46:54They have to fight
46:55The dizziness
46:55To collect the five
46:56Full size images
46:57Of the zoomed in pictures
46:58They've just seen
46:59Then arrange them
47:00In the exact order
47:01They first appeared
47:02Every one they get wrong
47:04Is a five second penalty
47:07Nicole's finally got her five
47:09But how will she fare
47:10With the order
47:20It's taking your time
47:21And it's taking your time
47:22Come on Nicole
47:23You're against the clock
47:39She's changing her mind
47:40Again
47:40Focus Nicole
47:42Nicole finally finishes
47:44She'd better hope
47:45The others are as
47:46Distracted as she was
47:50Dan's first up
47:56Dan the man
47:57Almost loses his balance
47:58But starts picking
47:59The images straight away
48:01He thought he was
48:02The weakest in the training
48:03Will he prove himself wrong
48:05Don't forget
48:06That this challenge
48:07Decides which two brainies
48:08Will go through
48:09To the final round
48:10The table of supreme focus
48:15Very fast with the order
48:16And he's gonged
48:17But has he done enough
48:19To get the brown
48:19Now bubbly Bebe
48:25Bebe did well
48:26In the training
48:26And she's being
48:27Decisive here too
48:35Watch yourself Bebe
48:38Don't forget
48:38That this is the order
48:39Bebe is looking for
48:47She's seen fast with the order
48:48But whose memory
48:49Has cost them their place
48:50In the final
48:51Time for the results
48:53Nicole
48:542 minutes 16 seconds
48:56And 3 penalties
48:57So a total time
48:58Of 2 minutes
48:59And 31 seconds
49:01Dan
49:011 minute 5 seconds
49:03And 4 penalties
49:041.23 in total
49:06Nicole's place
49:07In the dojo
49:08Hangs on Bebe's time
49:091 minute 4 seconds
49:11And only one penalty
49:13A total of 1.09
49:15Bebe and Dan are in
49:16Ha and Nicole is out
49:23Walk of eternal regret
49:26I'm feeling quite sad
49:29That I'm not in it anymore
49:31But I'm also feeling happy
49:34Because I've come this far
49:36So with only one level to go
49:39It leaves just Dan the man
49:40And bubbly Bebe
49:41To wear the brown brain belts
49:43In preparation for the final
49:44I cannot believe
49:46That I got
49:49I'm so
49:50So excited
49:53I literally feel over the moon
49:55Because I never thought
49:56I'd get this far
50:00Brain Jitsu
50:048 young hopeful
50:05Arrived at brain training dojo
50:07To fight for brain jitsu
50:09Black brain belt
50:10As challenges got tougher
50:12Brainies got fewer
50:14Some too slow
50:16Others lost focus
50:18Now just two brainy remain
50:21Bubbly Bebe
50:23I'm glad that it's
50:24Between me and Daniel
50:26Because now there's a balance
50:27Between boys and girls
50:28And Dan
50:29I'm going to win the black belt
50:30Obviously
50:31But who will use brain training
50:33To max
50:34To win final challenge
50:37Brain Jitsu
50:41Level 7
50:42Black belt
50:44So this is it
50:47Between my two remaining
50:49Brainies
50:49And the black belt
50:50Stands brain jitsu's
50:52Ultimate challenge
50:53A mental duel
50:55That is head to head
50:56In every sense
50:58The battlefield
50:59A table
51:00But not just any table
51:02For this my friends
51:03Is the table
51:04Of supreme focus
51:06Where our two brainies
51:08Will attempt to move a ball
51:09Across the table
51:10Using only
51:11The power of their mind
51:14By getting this far
51:15They've already demonstrated
51:17Mental control
51:18Under many different
51:19Types of pressure
51:20But now
51:21They must learn
51:22To focus their minds
51:23By entering a state
51:24Of total calm
51:26To prepare them
51:27My two finalists
51:29Will need to get into
51:29The zone
51:31Room of mental nourishment
51:35So
51:36It's down to the last two
51:37Bubbly Bebe
51:38And Dan the man
51:39Have one last chance
51:41To train their brains
51:42To win the black
51:43In this final room
51:44Of mental nourishment
51:45They must bring together
51:46All their training
51:47To achieve ultimate focus
51:52Brain training
51:53Mentally prepare yourself
51:55For the final task
51:56Don't let sounds
51:57Put you off
52:01So
52:02Our two finalists
52:03Have to block out the noises
52:04And focus only on
52:06Finding an inner calm
52:07And concentration
52:11Both rainies are doing well
52:13But here's a training tip
52:15Visualise and focus on somewhere
52:17You make you feel happy
52:19And calm
52:24I'm going to bring the black button
52:25Obviously
52:25Obviously
52:26Obviously
52:27Obviously
52:27What I really want to aim for
52:29Is the black
52:29Black
52:30Black
52:30Black
52:32Are you prepared to do
52:33The final task
52:34Do you think you can beat me
52:38I think I can beat you
52:39But do you think you can beat me
52:41I feel focused for it
52:43I mean
52:44Lots of people have done it before me
52:45How hard can it be
52:46I think the tip was good
52:48Because if you visualise somewhere
52:50Where you're happy
52:51I visualised like
52:52I was at home
52:53And everyone was hugging me
52:54And saying
52:54Oh well done
52:55We're so glad
52:56That you got so far
52:57I'm just going to try my hardest
52:58On the last final task
53:01Both brainies seem pretty evenly matched
53:03Dan the man is certainly confident
53:05And if excitement had anything to do with it
53:08Bubbly Baby would win hands down
53:09But who will master the table of supreme focus
53:12And take that black belt
53:14Let's find out
53:20Table of supreme focus
53:25Rules are simple
53:26Each brainy must push ball
53:28To the opponent's end of table
53:30Using only power of mind
53:32Sensors in brainy's headbands
53:34Measure brainwaves
53:36This is converted into electrical signal
53:38Which moves ball
53:39More focused mind
53:42Stronger signal
53:43And faster ball will travel
53:45See how brainies are doing on this readout
53:48Two lines represent each player's brainwaves
53:51Lower the line
53:53More concentrated their mind
54:02To make sure this is the test of all tests
54:05Our brainy's must win the best of three rounds
54:09So this is the big one
54:11If they are to succeed
54:12Our two finalists must use all their brain training
54:15To enter their zone of absolute focus
54:18This is the reason they came to the dojo
54:20This is the moment they've been training for
54:25The she-hand starts them off
54:27And the mind race is on
54:29Bubbly Baby is first to move the ball
54:31Her black line lower than Dan's green
54:34Dan's pulled it back
54:35But she's gained control again
54:51Dan the man pulled it back for a second there
54:54But now Baby looks like she's heading home
54:58So it's round one to Baby
55:00Dan almost got control a few times
55:03But she pulled it back straight away
55:06Can Dan even the score in round two
55:16Bubbly Baby is off to an absolutely flying start
55:19Her black brain wave line is much lower than Dan's green one
55:29That's it, it's all over
55:31Bubbly Baby has used her brain training brilliantly
55:34When it mattered most
55:35I'm just so happy with it
55:37And I can't believe it
55:39I just want to, like, jump out and tell everyone
55:44Glory for one brings disappointment for another
55:47Dan the man fought valiantly
55:49But now he must leave the dojo
55:54What of eternal regret
55:58This last test was really hard
56:00I suppose Baby's just more relaxed than me, maybe
56:05So Dan the man was pipped to the post
56:07But it's a triumph for Bubbly Baby
56:12One of the most effervescent brainies we've seen in the dojo
56:15Baby learnt from her training
56:17And managed to control her emotions
56:19In order to master the table of supreme focus
56:21She is indeed worthy to wear the brain jitsu black brain belt
56:26Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
56:28Thank you
56:29This has been a really positive experience
56:31And I'm definitely going to learn not to rush things
56:35Just to take things easy
56:37Like slow and steady wins the race
56:40So that's what I learnt
56:41Our journey has come to an end
56:44Another brainy has proven themselves worthy
56:46To wear the brain jitsu black belt
56:49But while brain jitsu might represent the most extreme form of brain training
56:54Its philosophy can be shared by all
56:58Each and every one of you has it in your power to grow your mind
57:03All it takes is dedication and practice
57:06This has been
57:10Brain Jitsu
57:18Brain Jitsu
