00:00...Brainies or insects were harmed in the making of this program,
00:02and that none of the training you're about to see be attempted unless under expert supervision.
00:07Eight Braineies, one challenge.
00:10To use complex mass of 100 billion cells we call Brain,
00:15for chance to win Brain Jutsu Black Brain Belt.
00:18This is Brain Jutsu.
00:26Born in Lancashire, trained in Japan, with mind as sharp as samurai sword,
00:32he is Brain Master. He is the Sensei.
00:36Konnichiwa, and welcome to Brain Jutsu.
00:41Mental training specially designed to boost brain power and focus.
00:46My trainees, or Braineys, have been following a basic program of training
00:51in the comfort of their own home.
00:52A brain-boosting routine of exercise, sleep,
00:57and enough fruit and veg to stock a greengrocer's.
01:01I've got a really good memory, and I think it's going to help me today.
01:04Training really helped me know what to expect and made me confident.
01:09I'm feeling quite relaxed, but on the other hand, I'm feeling quite nervous.
01:14Now my braineys must put their training into practice.
01:17By testing a part of the brain we use every day.
01:20Level one.
01:22No, no, Walt!
01:24Take a look at all these chocolates.
01:27Mmm, yummy.
01:28But how many white rabbits are there?
01:31If you've got six, then congratulations.
01:35You've just used your occipital lobes.
01:38This area, the seeing part of our brain,
01:41allows us to recognise and separate images from each other.
01:45The seven braineys who use their occipital lobes the best
01:47will be allowed to enter my brain jutsu dojo,
01:50where their training will continue.
01:53The one who fails will be left outside.
01:56Oh!
01:57Feel the burn.
01:59Enter the dojo!
02:02Our braineys must answer four questions
02:04by studying the different shapes on the board in front of them.
02:09Get the questions right,
02:11and they'll be left with a four-digit code,
02:13which they must then use to unlock a piece of brain
02:15and secure their place in the dojo.
02:18But with only seven pieces of brain and eight braineys,
02:21one of either Dessan, Rikin, Zainab, Peter, Gemma, Bethany, Jack or Layla
02:29will be left outside and eliminated.
02:32A bang of the gong reveals the four questions.
02:37How many green shapes are there?
02:48How many circles are there?
02:57How many blue shapes with green numbers are there?
03:07How many green numbers are there?
03:13The answer our braineys are looking for is 6945.
03:20First off her stool is Bethany,
03:22with Gemma and Zainab not far behind.
03:26Faster than you can say spicy salmon sushi,
03:29more of her braineys join them,
03:31leaving just Jack and Rikin still at the bar.
03:37Spooky kabuki!
03:39Both think they've found the code,
03:41but Rikin just squeezes Jack out.
03:44And it's Bethany who's first to crack that combination,
03:47quickly followed by Dessan and Layla.
03:50A quick reminder of that cord our braineys are searching for.
03:53It's 6945,
03:55as there are six green shapes,
03:58nine circles,
04:00four blue shapes with green numbers,
04:03and five green numbers.
04:06With two more braineys safely through,
04:08it's now a three-way contest between Zainab,
04:11Gemma and Jack
04:12for that last piece of brain.
04:14That's it braineys,
04:16work those occipital lobes.
04:19At last,
04:20Zainab pops her lock,
04:22leaving Gemma and Jack
04:23to battle it out for the last place in the dojo.
04:27Unbelievable!
04:28For the second time,
04:29Jack's been beaten to the brain,
04:31has his chance gone?
04:33No,
04:34Gemma's still not found that cord,
04:36giving Jack another go.
04:38But he's not found it either.
04:41And this time,
04:42Gemma makes no mistake,
04:44meaning that she's in
04:45and Jack's out.
04:48While seven have proven themselves
04:50worthy of entering the dojo
04:51and continuing their brain training,
04:53for Jack,
04:54it's the end of the road.
04:56I was feeling quite nervous
04:58because, like,
05:00it was the final two
05:01and I really wanted to get through.
05:02If I could do it again,
05:04I would look at it more
05:06and not worry so much
05:07about the other person
05:08getting it right
05:09and I just concentrate
05:10on myself a bit more.
05:11So,
05:12with six levels to go,
05:14it's time for Bethany,
05:15Dessan,
05:16Layla,
05:17Rikin,
05:17Peter,
05:18Zainab and Gemma
05:19to receive their yellow brain belts.
05:23It was just amazing
05:24when I finally got that code
05:25and I got it into
05:27the piece of brain
05:28and everything.
05:29It was great.
05:30I was so relieved
05:31when the lock opened.
05:32I was like,
05:33yes!
05:34Even though I'm in the training room,
05:35I was going to, like,
05:36never, like,
05:37talk around or mess around.
05:38I was going to get that done
05:40and get the black belt.
05:43Brain T2!
05:45In this next level of training,
05:47things are going to get really hard.
05:50Level 2.
05:52Orange belt!
05:54We do things every day
05:56without even thinking about it,
05:57like throwing a ball.
05:59The next time you're with your mates,
06:01try throwing it
06:02with the arm
06:02you wouldn't normally use.
06:04Yeah.
06:05A lot more difficult, isn't it?
06:06If you manage to do that,
06:08you're using part of your brain
06:10that deals with problem solving,
06:12the frontal lobes.
06:13And that's what level 2
06:15is all about.
06:16Taking something
06:17you normally do
06:18without thinking
06:19and doing it differently.
06:21Work it!
06:22To prepare them
06:23for using their frontal lobes
06:24in the next challenge,
06:26my brainees
06:26are going to need
06:27some training.
06:29Room of Mental Nourishment.
06:32This is the room
06:33of mental nourishment
06:34where our young hopefuls
06:35will train their brains
06:36between every task.
06:38While there's nothing
06:38to stop our brainees
06:39from kicking back
06:40and helping themselves
06:41to some of the tempting
06:42treats on offer,
06:43the more seriously
06:44they take their training,
06:45the better prepared
06:46they'll be
06:47for the challenges
06:47that lie ahead.
06:49And in level 2,
06:50that challenge
06:51is all about
06:51getting their brains
06:52to think in a new way.
06:54Brain training.
06:55Write the name
06:56of the brainee
06:57you think
06:57will win the black belt.
06:59Write backwards
07:00using the hand
07:01you don't normally
07:02write with.
07:04By having to do
07:05something they'd normally
07:06do without thinking,
07:07our brainees
07:08are going to really
07:09have to work
07:09their frontal lobes.
07:11It's really hard.
07:13I can't get a straight line.
07:15That's one vote
07:16for Bethany.
07:17And another.
07:18And another.
07:18It looks as though
07:19we've got our hot favourite.
07:22Bethany.
07:24Because she won
07:24the last round
07:25so it's possible
07:26she'll win the next round.
07:27Has anyone written
07:28that lining?
07:31Never mind, Ricky.
07:32Time for a training tip.
07:34Picture the word
07:35in front of you
07:36before you write it.
07:37Think about
07:37each individual letter.
07:40If you want to work
07:41your frontal lobes,
07:42try writing backwards
07:43at home
07:43like Desan is right now.
07:45It'll help improve
07:46your all-round focus.
07:49Meanwhile,
07:49not content
07:50with simply writing backwards,
07:51would Zainab
07:52Zainab's had an idea.
07:53Who can actually
07:54say their name backwards?
07:56Amat.
07:57Uh,
07:57Jaff.
07:58Yunafeb.
07:59Finnaz.
07:59Yunafeb.
08:00Retta.
08:01Yunafeb.
08:02Nice one, brainees.
08:04I enjoyed that task
08:06because I thought
08:06it was quite easy.
08:07What do you think
08:07is going to win
08:08in the next challenge?
08:09I wrote Bethany
08:10and then I wrote
08:10I think Bethany
08:11will win
08:12because she won
08:13the first round.
08:14So,
08:15will brainey Bethany
08:15live up to expectations?
08:17And will
08:18Keen Layla
08:19find the next task
08:20quite so easy?
08:21It's time to find out
08:22as our seven brainees
08:23now put their
08:24frontal lobe training
08:25to the test.
08:27Guardian of the dojo
08:28and task adjudicator
08:29the she-han
08:30will now demonstrate
08:31the level two challenge.
08:33Catchy-feely boxes!
08:37Inside seven boxes
08:38is hidden item,
08:40five of which
08:41match with item
08:42on shopping list.
08:43Brainees must take
08:44in turns to reach
08:45into each box
08:47and guess
08:47what inside.
08:48Not by looking
08:49but by feeling.
08:51If they think
08:52that item matches
08:53with one on list,
08:55they must try
08:55to remember
08:56number of box
08:57it is in.
08:58Once brainees
08:59have felt
09:00all seven boxes,
09:01then have 15 seconds
09:03to identify
09:04which box
09:05they are in.
09:08Brainees
09:08with least number
09:09of correct answer
09:10will be eliminated
09:12from dojo.
09:14My brainee tip
09:15for this task
09:16is to focus
09:17on just the items
09:19on the list
09:19and mentally
09:20tick them off
09:21as they fill
09:22each box.
09:23Work those frontal lobes.
09:25If you want to know
09:26what our brainees
09:27don't,
09:28here's what's
09:28on their shopping list
09:29today.
09:30In purple box
09:31number four
09:32we have biscuits.
09:33In blue box
09:34number two
09:35a banana.
09:37in green box
09:38three
09:38we have a carrot.
09:41Cotton wool
09:42is in orange
09:42box number five
09:43and in red box
09:45number seven
09:46an orange.
09:47But there are also
09:48two distractions
09:49for our brainees.
09:50In pink box
09:51number one
09:52are mealworms
09:52and in yellow box six
09:54a tennis ball.
09:56And if that wasn't
09:57enough to make
09:58our brainees
09:59think differently
09:59you'll also have
10:00noticed we've
10:01jumbled up the box
10:02numbers.
10:03Three, two, one
10:04it's go on the gong.
10:08Brainees have just
10:08five seconds
10:09to identify each item
10:10before moving
10:11on to the next box.
10:13Not being able
10:14to see the items
10:15the challenge
10:16for our brainees
10:16is to use their
10:17training to think
10:18in a new way.
10:19Their hands
10:20must become their
10:21eyes as they
10:21focus solely
10:22on their sense
10:23of touch.
10:25So has brainy
10:26Bethany worked
10:27out that this
10:27box is full
10:28of bickies?
10:33Can Keen Layla
10:34remember that
10:35cotton wool
10:36is in box
10:36number five?
10:39Surely
10:40Desanne's
10:40frontal lobes
10:41have told her
10:41that she's
10:42caressing a
10:42carrot.
10:44It's not
10:44going to bite
10:45you Peter
10:45it's only a
10:46banana.
10:48Zainab's not
10:49sure about
10:49those mealworms
10:51and will Gemma
10:52confuse the
10:53tennis ball
10:53in six
10:54with the
10:54orange in
10:55seven?
10:57Time's up
10:58our brainees
10:59have 15 seconds
11:00to work out
11:01their answers
11:01here's that
11:02list again
11:05and here
11:06are the
11:06box numbers
11:14there's the
11:15final gong
11:16so who's
11:17benefited from
11:17their training
11:18and allowed
11:18their brains
11:19to think
11:20in a new
11:20way?
11:24Bethany
11:24matched four
11:25items with
11:26the correct
11:26box
11:26Dessan
11:28matched three
11:29as did
11:30Layla
11:32Rikin
11:33matched all
11:33five items
11:36Peter matched
11:37four
11:39Zainab
11:40also matched
11:41all five items
11:43but Gemma
11:44only matched
11:44one
11:45which means
11:46that it's
11:46Gemma
11:46whose focus
11:47was found
11:48wanting
11:48and who
11:49must now
11:49hand over
11:50her brain
11:50belt
11:51and leave
11:52the dojo
11:56I'm feeling
11:57disappointed
12:00and I feel
12:01that I
12:02could have
12:03got to
12:03level three
12:04or if I
12:05tried really
12:05extra hard
12:06then I
12:07could have
12:07got to
12:08the black
12:09belt
12:11so with
12:12five levels
12:12to go
12:13it's
12:13Bethany
12:15Dessan
12:16Layla
12:16Rikin
12:17Peter
12:18and Zainab
12:19who go
12:20on to
12:20get their
12:20orange
12:21brain
12:21belts
12:22I enjoyed
12:23this game
12:23because
12:23when I
12:25put my
12:25hands
12:25in the
12:25box
12:26of
12:26maggots
12:26I
12:27thought
12:27they
12:27were
12:27actually
12:27grated
12:28pieces
12:28of
12:28cheese

17:09clear instructions
17:10imagine
17:11yourself
17:12hearing them
17:13in other words
17:15our guiders
17:16must think
17:16exactly what
17:17information
17:18the others
17:18need
17:19because
17:20good communication
17:20is all about
17:21putting yourself
17:22in someone else's
17:23shoes
17:24the rugby ball
17:25on d and c
17:26and three and four
17:28kind of do another
17:29one on top of that
17:30is it a penguin
17:33no
17:34but all this time
17:35zainab hasn't really
17:36been taking part

17:51like a rugby
17:51ball
17:52but it was
17:53more like
17:53an oval
17:54i do think
17:55i did
17:55quite a good
17:56job
17:57because it
17:57was a bit
17:57of a cartoon
17:58rugby ball
17:59you said a rugby
17:59ball you didn't
18:00say nothing

18:02rugby ball

24:26called
24:26the
24:26amygdala
24:27the area that responds to threat.
24:34Remember the last time you felt afraid or panicky?
24:37Maybe that time you were about to take a really crucial penalty.
24:40Well, that feeling was triggered by the old amygdala.
24:45Now, stress can make you lose focus.
24:48Fact.
24:49Which is why my brainies must train to keep their emotions under control.
24:54Room of Mental Nourishment
25:00We're back in the Room of Mental Nourishment
25:02and it's time for O5 remaining Greenbelt holders
25:05to overcome their fear and stay focused.
25:11Brain training.
25:12Form a circle.
25:13Pass the disgusting drink around the circle,
25:17only passing if you have said a different word ending with the letter D.
25:21After one minute, the brain trainee holding the drink has to drink it.
25:26But drink what?
25:27Well, how about a nice glass of cod liver oil?
25:30Um, bed.
25:32Desan gets the ball rolling.
25:35Bed.
25:37Cod.
25:38And it looks like Rickon can't get the idea of cod out of his head.
25:44Headband.
25:45But of all our brainies, it's still Rickon who's showing the least hesitation.
25:49Fed.
25:50Fed.
25:51Hand.
25:53Lead.
25:54Happened.
25:57There's the gong.
25:58And it's Zainab who's left holding the drink of stink.
26:03Drink a sip.
26:04Drink a sip.
26:05OK.
26:05Go, go.
26:06All of us have to drink.
26:07Oh!
26:09Ah, all of us have to drink.
26:10Oh, my God.
26:11Oh, my God.
26:13Time for a training tip.
26:17Here's a tip.
26:18Concentrate.
26:19Try to blank out the time and fear of the drink to avoid panicking.
26:25Try practising this technique at home.
26:27By keeping your emotions under control, it'll help you focus better in situations like exams.
26:33Our brainies have another go.
26:35Heard.
26:36Did.
26:39Keen Layla, though, appears to have gone to pieces.
26:42Oh, my God.
26:43This is not going well.
26:44Unable to block out those signals coming from her amygdala.
26:48Oh, my God.
26:48Oh, my God.
26:48Oh, my God.
26:49Um, um, parties.
26:52Don't panic.
26:53Um.
26:54Oh, dear.
26:55Layla's dithering seems to be catching.
26:57Hit it.
26:59There's the gong.
27:00And a little unlucky, it's brainy Bethany who has to knock back the fishy gloop.
27:12I got my word in my head and I was thinking of it, but even after my go, and then
27:17as soon
27:17as it comes to me, I completely forgot it, because all the pressure's on you and everyone's
27:23looking at you.
27:24Based on that, I think the person that's going to be eliminated is Layla.
27:28She panics.
27:30Will In The Zone Zainab's prediction come true a second time?
27:34Or can Keen Layla keep her amygdala under control?
27:39It's time to find out, as our five are challenged to overcome their fears once again.
27:46Creepy Crawly Word Grab.
27:48This level real test of mind over matter for brainy's, and will push them to really overcome
27:54their fear.
27:55Underneath the creepy crawly's lie an assortment of letters worth different points.
28:00Brainy's have just one minute to plunge hands into tank and pick out up to seven letters each.
28:06They then have a further minute to make higher scoring words they can.
28:12To do well, my brainy's must block out the signals coming from their amygdala, and ignore
28:18the creepy crawly's.
28:19The quicker they combat their fear, the more time they'll have to pick out the high scoring
28:24letters.
28:30Underneath this pile of cockroaches are an extra five golden letters.
28:33If our brainy's manage to use one in their word, they'll double their score.
28:38I can't do that.
28:40Holy karaoke.
28:41It looks like brainy Bethany has totally forgotten her training.
28:44There's one right on top of it.
28:47If she doesn't start focusing soon, she'll stand no chance.
28:58While Bethany continues to flap, our other brainy's are getting on with it, ignoring
29:03the signals coming from their amygdalas.
29:06Five, six, seven, nine.
29:10I don't know.
29:17The minute's up.
29:18Our brainy's now have a further minute to make the highest scoring word they can from
29:22their letters.
29:24Amazingly, for all our outward panic, Bethany's still managed to pluck out six letters.
29:30If only I had an A.
29:34See if you can make a word from the anagram on the screen now.
29:39I think that's a word.
29:48There's the final gong.
29:50However, brainy's done.
29:53Bye.
29:55That's eight points for brainy Bethany.
29:57Well done, girl.
29:59Wrap.
30:00A terrific ten for Desan.
30:04Tease.
30:06Layla may think she's made a word, but the she-hand doesn't, and so it's nil points for Layla.
30:12Tail.
30:15Four points for rapid ricking.
30:18Hot.
30:20And a respectable five points for in-the-zone Zainab.
30:24And so it's Keen Layla who must hand over her brain belt and leave the dojo.
30:36The brain training room helped me to find letters in the brain jitsi challenge.
30:42I'm feeling a bit disappointed, but I'm glad I didn't go out earlier.
30:48So with three levels to go, those who use their craniums to conquer the cockroaches are duly rewarded with their
30:54blue belts.
30:57Oh, it was horrible.
30:59I felt like I was about to cry.
31:00They looked so disgusting, all like wriggling about and stuff.
31:04It was horrible.
31:05The training helped me because it helped me overcome my fears.
31:09I didn't really mind the cockroaches because at first I thought it was a front to the top, but it
31:13was only little bits around the edges.
31:14I was absolutely not going to play, but I had to sow determination to do it because I wanted to
31:20stay in to try and win, so I did it.
31:22I faced my fear.
31:25Brain T2.
31:29Brainy, not so brainy.
31:32Who's the clever clogs and whose brain needs a lot more training?
31:371903.
31:38Two American brothers, Orville and Wilbur, have a go at flying.
31:41Impressed?
31:42You should be.
31:43Inspired by a toy helicopter made from a few bits of wood and a rubber band, the brothers only went
31:48and invented the first passenger plane.
31:50Without the Wright brothers, you would never have had this, this or this.
31:54Thanks, Wright brothers.
31:55I'm off to sunny Spain.
31:57Now, take a look at these chaps.
31:59Every year, they earl themselves off Bognapir.
32:02The rules are simple.
32:03Fly the furthest and win a cash prize.
32:05Come on, son.
32:06You can do it.
32:07Oh, dear.
32:08Back to the drawing board with you, mate.
32:11Brainy, the Wright brothers.
32:12Not so brainy.
32:13Bird brain, bird men of Bognapir.
32:18Brain Jitsu.
32:22Tension in Brain Jitsu Dojo mounting.
32:24Now, just four young hopeful remain to compete under watchful eye of Shihan.
32:30Desan, winner of last level.
32:32Rapid Rikin.
32:33The fact that I'm the only boy left in the competition is that I feel a bit confident.
32:40Brainy Bethany, first to enter Dojo.
32:42And in the zone, Zainab.
32:44Based on that, I think the person that's going to be eliminated is Leila.
32:48Only two brainy will make final showdown.
32:51Table of supreme focus.
32:54Where must move ball with power of mind.
32:57Brain Jitsu Black Train Belt is within the grasp.
32:59Now, it's time for...
33:04Now, if you're learning how to ride a half pipe on a BMX bike, then you might be interested
33:11to know that your new hobby is doing wonders for your old grey matter.
33:17Exercising both the thinking part of the brain, the cerebrum, and the doing part, the cerebellum.
33:23You see, doing new things increases the flow of blood into your head, which keeps your brain
33:29cells topped up with the oxygen they need to perform at their best.
33:33So, in level five, my brainy's are going to be challenged to learn new skills.
33:39Now, you can speed up how quickly the brain takes in new stuff.
33:43And this is what our brainy's are going to train for now.
33:47Room of Mental Nourishment.
33:52It's our brainy's fourth visit to the Room of Mental Nourishment, where they'll be training
33:56their brains in how to learn new skills.
34:00Brain Training.
34:01Spin the drumstick between your fingers for as long as possible.
34:07While most of our brainy's start off slowly, happy to build up their confidence bit by bit...
34:12I can do it really slow.
34:15Rapid ricking sets off like a bullet train.
34:22Twirling those drumsticks like a majorette with a fried chicken takeaway.
34:27Show off.
34:30I think I'm the worst at this so far, because I can't get hold of it and spin it.
34:35How do I do it?
34:37Oh, time for a training tip.
34:40Tip, be confident in yourself.
34:42Look in the mirror and tell yourself you can do it.
34:46I can do it.
34:47I can bow it.
34:48I can do it.
34:49I can do it.
34:50I'm not going to win that black belt.
34:51It might seem weird telling yourself that you're wonderful, but self-confidence really
34:56can help the brain to master new skills.
34:58Where the brain's concerned, there's no such word as can't.
35:02I'm the best.
35:04That's the spirit, Bethany.
35:06I could do it better than all of you.
35:08I don't think so.
35:09Go on and try.
35:10Go on.
35:11Yay!
35:13And there's your proof that a little self-belief goes a very long way.
35:18I think the tip is really good, because it's something that I can really use to help me in activities
35:24that I find hard and difficult.
35:26Rickon's going to be out, because he's like the only boy left.
35:29Why is it always me that's got to be out?
35:31It's obviously girls are better than boys.
35:33So, will Brainy Bethany's confidence help her win that red brain belt?
35:38And will Rapid Rickon's speed be his downfall?
35:41Only time will tell, as our four now put their latest brain training to the test.
35:49Quick, quick, don't drip.
35:52Brainy must use training to keep clear head and steady hand to carry water across obstacle
35:58cores, spilling as little as possible.
36:00There is trampoline to glide over, seesaw to deal with, and stairs to climb.
36:07The less water spill, then better score.
36:10But blue belt holders also racing against clock, and the faster their time, the more points
36:15they can add to their total.
36:17Brainy with lower score will be eliminated.
36:21The tip for my brainies in this next task is to remain calm, and think positive thoughts.
36:29Giving in to frustration will only lessen their focus and slow them up.
36:34The she-hand fills the balls, and the tension begins to mount.
36:37But which of our four brainies will best use their confidence training to master this tricky
36:42new skill?
36:45Brainy Bethany is first to go, but that's a lot of water gone already.
36:52But Bethany's training soon kicks in.
36:54The thinking part and the doing part of her brain working well together.
37:06A few more precious drops lost on the seesaw.
37:12And there's the gong.
37:14So, how is she done?
37:18Brainy's get a point for every unit of water saved, and further bonus points for speed.
37:23From three points for the quickest, Brainy, to zero for the slowest.
37:28With 17 units of water left, that's 17 points for Brainy Bethany.
37:33But I wonder if she's been fast enough to pick up any bonus points.
37:39Next up, it's Dessan.
37:41Oh, a little spill there right at the start.
37:47And a bit more lost on the slalom.
37:51But this is a fast showing for the young Brainy.
37:54You can really sense her self-belief.
37:59Expertly over the seesaw.
38:06And Dessan reaches the end.
38:08But how much liquid has she got left?
38:14That's 18 units.
38:16Better than Bethany and speedy to boot.
38:23It's now Rapid Ricken's turn.
38:25After his pacey performance in training, will the young Brainy opt for a similar strategy now?
38:34The answer's most definitely no.
38:36For once, Ricken has opted for the slowly but surely approach.
38:44Is ball drier than her throat after an all-day karaoke session?
38:48Ricken stops the clock.
38:54And that's good enough to earn him the maximum 20 points.
38:58But has his steady approach cost him his chance of a bonus?
39:02Last to go is in the zone Zainab.
39:05Will she remember her training and stay positive?
39:08Oh, a little leak at the start there.
39:11But on the whole, it's a great performance.
39:13Both fast and steady.
39:22One more spillage with the end in sight.
39:24But there's the finish line.
39:31With 19 units of saved water, has she done enough?
39:35Let's find out.
39:37With a time of 1 minute 3 seconds, Brainy Bethany had the third fastest time, bringing her one bonus point.
39:44Added to her 17 points for those 17 units of saved water, that gives her a total of 18.
39:51Dessan raced round in an extremely fast 35 seconds, quick enough to earn her 2 bonus points, to add to
39:58her 18 units, and a final score of 20.
40:02Rapid Ricken was anything but his speedy self.
40:05His time was the slowest of the lot.
40:07But even though he picks up no bonus points, his 20 units of saved water still gives him a final
40:13score of 20.
40:15So it all hangs on Zainab.
40:17But with 3 bonus points for the fastest time to add to her 19 units of saved water, her total
40:23of 22 is comfortably enough to see her through.
40:28Which means it's Brainy Bethany who's eliminated, and must leave the dojo.
40:35Walk of eternal regret.
40:39I'm feeling very disappointed in myself, because I thought I was going to make it to the final, but I
40:44didn't.
40:45I think Dessan's going to win the black belt, because she's done very well in her tasks, and she's a
40:51strong contender.
40:55So with two levels to go, that just leaves Dessan, Ricken, and Zainab to stand proud in red.
41:02It feels really good to be so far in the competition, because I really didn't think I'd get that far,
41:08but some of the challenges have been hard, and I just had to buckle up and try a little harder.
41:14Training did teach me to actually be confident. I should have been more confident. Now I will be.
41:21Brain Titu!
41:24Level 6, R.
41:26ROLL BELT!
41:28It's this level which will decide which two of my remaining braineys will go on to battle it out for
41:35the black belt.
41:38Now, imagine you're a gymnast. Not only do you have your routine to remember, but you've got to keep in
41:45time to the music, and you've got a load of people watching you.
41:49It's remembering stuff like this under pressure that Level 6 is all about.
41:54It centres around three areas of the brain. The seeing part, the occipital lobes, the memory part, the temporal lobes,
42:03and the movement part, the cerebellum. To the max!
42:09Room of Mental Nourishment
42:14Our three surviving braineys are back in the room of Mental Nourishment. This time for some memory training.
42:20Brain training. Memorise the sequence of objects.
42:27Oh, you could hear a grain of rice drop as our braineys focus on the objects. Their temporal lobes working
42:33overtime to remember the right order.
42:35First, there's a gnome.
42:36In the zone, Zainab kicks things off.
42:39Sunglasses. Then the monster arm. Black stick, so it looks like a wand. And the toilet. Giant comb. Rubber chicken.
42:46An Eiffel Tower. Then a hammer. And a crocodile. A banana. Pink lettuce. And then fluffy cricket outside of it.
42:53You've got them all right. Yes!
42:55Deep fried dumplings. That's a full house for Zainab.
42:59I don't think this particular brainey needs a tip, but he has one anyway.
43:03Here's a tip. Create a story linking the objects together.
43:07Okay, so let's rearrange them.
43:10Memory training like this isn't just great for the brain, it's also very useful.
43:15Next time you're out shopping, create a story from your list and see if you can remember everything on it.
43:20There was a comb that once met a chicken that was lying under...
43:23He took the hammer and hit the gnome with it, which then got crushed.
43:27The giant scissors was hungry and ate the dana. Then he was so hungry he went to the cabbage...
43:34Our braineys may be following the tip, but their little story is fast turning into a blockbuster novel.
43:39Fried egg in the toilet.
43:41The monster's angry, so it smashed the gnome with a hammer.
43:45And instead of helping Dessan, it just seems to be confusing her.
43:49Um, can't remember the rest.
43:51From the beginning I was really worried, because my memory, from random orders, from just random things, it's not good.
43:59Just try your best, you can do your good if you try.
44:03But, I think I won't do too well, but I'll try.
44:08So, will Dessan's lack of confidence be a downfall?
44:11And will Zainab, Master of Memory, be just as impressive when their pressure's really on?
44:17Only time will tell, as our final three put their memory train into the test for one of two brown
44:23brain belts and a place on the table of supreme focus.
44:28Super Memory Dizzy Dash
44:32A brainey is a spin around on Dizzy Wheel, total of ten times, while using all of focus to memorize
44:39five images in front of them.
44:42Then, must rise against clock to cross balancing beam and collect exact opposite of those images from ten hanging above
44:50them.
44:51If brainey remember seeing sun, then must pick moon.
44:55When happy they have arranged images in correct order, must hit gong to make clock stop.
45:04My tip for the braineys is to keep focused on the main objective and use their training to link the
45:10five images together.
45:13So, as our final three brave the Dizzy Wheel, will their memory training help them to remember the images and
45:19ignore the effects of being spun round like termites in a tornado?
45:23Time to spin.
45:25Time to spin.
45:25Time to spin.
45:25Time to spin.
45:28Time to spin.
45:29Low in confidence after training, Desanne is the first to go.
45:37Don't forget, our braineys must fight their dizziness and pick out the opposite images to the ones they saw on
45:44the wheel.
45:44So here are the images that Desanne saw, and here are the opposites.
45:51Has she remembered her training and linked those pictures together?
45:55Obviously not, because that black image is one she needs.
45:59For every image Dessan gets wrong, there's a five-second penalty.
46:03The brainy with the slowest time will be eliminated from the dojo.
46:07There's the gong, and with not many matches, Dessan looks understandably worried.
46:14Next to spin is Rapid Rickin, who for a moment doesn't appear to know where he is.
46:24There's the sun, and the right-sided arrow. So far, so good.
46:31Whoops, steady there.
46:34Don't forget, as well as trying to remember those five images, our brainy's are racing against the clock.
46:40Rapid Rickin, though, is being anything but rapid.
46:50There's the gong, and apart from that cat and pencil, that looks pretty good.
46:54But has Rickin been fast enough to see him through?
47:00Last to go is in the zone Zainab, the one brainy who really excelled in her memory training.
47:07But hang on, the only zone Zainab's in right now is the dizzy zone.
47:14Looking as unsteady as an origami giraffe, Zainab finally struggles to her feet.
47:20If she remembers those five images now, she'll really have done well.
47:30Here's the order again, and it looks like Zainab is the first to work out that the snail is the
47:36opposite of the cheetah.
47:41There's the gong, and it looks like a full house, but how much time has Zainab's wobbly start cost her?
47:52With four penalties to add to a time of 1 minute 37, Dessan finished in 1 minute 57 seconds.
48:01Rapid Rickin rang his gong in 1 minute 43 seconds, add on two penalties, and that gives him a final
48:08time of 1 minute 53.
48:11While in the zone Zainab had no penalties, giving her a time of 1 minute 30.
48:17And so, by a mere four seconds, it's Dessan whose journey has finally come to an end.
48:26Walk of eternal regret.
48:29The spinning in the last round shook up my memory a bit.
48:33I'm feeling disappointed to be at a brain jitsu, because I would have loved to get the black belt, but
48:38I'm glad I would so far.
48:41So with just one level to go, that leaves Rickin and Zainab to don their brown brain belt, and prepare
48:47for the final showdown.
48:51I feel really confident, and I'm not nervous about the table of supreme focus.
48:55I definitely think I might be good at it, because I really can focus on things I think.
49:00Feels good that I got this band, because I thought I was going to get out, because one of the
49:04images was white, and I put a pencil for some reason.
49:08I feel really confident, though, against Rickin. I definitely think I'm going to beat him.
49:13Rain jitsu!
49:38I feel a bit nervous that I'm going to get eliminated, but I really want that black belt.
49:44And in the zone, Zainab, winner of last two levels, and flying high.
49:49I feel really confident, though, against Rickin. I definitely think I'm going to beat him, hopefully.
49:53But who will use brain training to the max to win final challenge?
49:59Level seven.
50:01Black belt!
50:02So, this is it.
50:05Between my two remaining brainies and the black belt stands brain jitsu's ultimate challenge.
50:11A mental duel that is head-to-head in every sense.
50:16The battlefield?
50:17A table.
50:18But not just any table.
50:20For this, my friends, is the table of supreme focus, where our two brainies will attempt to move a ball
50:27across the table using only the power of their mind.
50:32By getting this far, they've already demonstrated mental control under many different types of pressure.
50:38But now, they must learn to focus their minds by entering a state of total calm.
50:44To prepare them, my two finalists will need to get into the zone.
50:49Room of Mental Nourishment.
50:56In this, their final visit to the Room of Mental Nourishment, our last two brainies are about to train in
51:02how to stay focused, no matter what's happening around them.
51:07Brain training.
51:08Mentally prepare yourself for the final task.
51:11Don't let the sounds put you off.
51:19So, our two finalists must block out the noises and concentrate only on finding their focus.
51:26While Rickon's method appears to involve eating his way through the noise, it looks like Zainab's found a way of
51:32shutting herself down.
51:36I just tried focusing on one spot, then just tried, every time a man would go away, I just said,
51:42OK, focus on the spot, focus on the spot.
51:44I just eat something and then I can, I just focus on that, so, I just focus on something else
51:50and forget about the other.
51:51Good thinking, brainies.
51:52Here's another way of keeping focused, courtesy of our training tip.
51:58Here's a tip.
52:00Visualise and focus on somewhere you feel happy and calm.
52:09No food for Rickon this time, as he concentrates on controlling his breathing, while Zainab is once again a picture
52:16of calm.
52:17I just visualised somewhere, like a garden, where I was calm to get, like, rid of the sound of the
52:23whole thing, where that was.
52:25I visualised that I was at my baby cousin's house and his laughter so loud, so it blocks out the
52:30sound of that creature.
52:33Who do you think is going to win this final challenge?
52:36Me.
52:37OK, then we'll see about that.
52:39With nothing to choose between the pair of them, who will come out on top?
52:42In the zone, Zainab?
52:45Or rapid ricking?
52:46Let's find out.
52:48Table of Supreme Focus.
52:53Rules are simple.
52:55Each brainy must push ball to the opponent's end of table, using only power of mind.
53:01Sensors in brainy's headbands measure brainwaves.
53:04This is converted into electrical signal, which moves ball.
53:09More focused mind, stronger signal, and faster ball will travel.
53:14See how brainy's are doing on this readout.
53:17Two lines represent each player's brainwaves.
53:20Lower the line, more concentrated their mind.
53:37To make sure this is the test of all tests, our brainy's must win the best of three rounds.
53:44So, this is the big one.
53:46Our two finalists must use all their brain training to enter their zone of absolute focus.
53:52This is the reason they came to the dojo.
53:55This is the moment they've been training for.
54:04Zainab is the first to get the ball rolling.
54:07Her lower black line showing that it's she who's focusing the better of the two.
54:19And although Rickon is doing his best to fight back, Zainab is just too strong,
54:24using a new breathing technique to push the ball all the way.
54:28It's 1-0 to in the zone Zainab,
54:31and Rickon will have to dig deep and call on all his training
54:34if he's to pull himself back into contention.
54:38Round two.
54:49And once more, it's another flying start for Zainab.
54:52Her black line again, the lower of the two.
54:59And this time, there's no let-up.
55:01Zainab quickly finishing the job.
55:06It's all over, and it's Zainab who's come out on top,
55:10using her training to the max,
55:12to prove herself a true master of the mind
55:15and worthy winner of the black belt of brain jiu-jitsu.
55:19I'm really, really proud of myself.
55:22I never knew I'd actually be able to do it.
55:24I'm really proud.
55:25I just won, so I'm really lucky.
55:27But glory for one brings disappointment for another.
55:31And although he battled valiantly,
55:33rapid ricking must now leave the dojo.
55:38Walk of eternal regret.
55:42It was fun, because you could just move the ball with, like,
55:45if you're a sidekeeper.
55:46If I had the chance to do it again,
55:48I would really try to relax more,
55:49because I wasn't relaxed this time.
55:59What a display of focus from in-the-zone Zainab.
56:02Always confident,
56:03this determined young brainy
56:05refused to buckle under the mental strain.
56:08When the pressure was really on,
56:10it was Zainab who was able to call on all her training
56:13and grab that black brain belt.
56:16I didn't actually look at the ball.
56:18I just looked down,
56:19just felt of myself on a cloud.
56:21And I didn't want to know
56:22whether the ball was going my side or his side.
56:24That way, I wouldn't keep my concentration on the balls.
56:27And I think that's how I won.
56:29If I could summarise myself in three words,
56:30I'd say very, very proud.
56:33Our journey has come to an end.
56:36Another brainy has proven themselves worthy
56:38to wear the brain jitsu black belt.
56:41But while brain jitsu might represent
56:44the most extreme form of brain training,
56:47its philosophy can be shared by all.
56:50Each and every one of you
56:52has it in your power
56:53to grow your mind.
56:55All it takes
56:56is dedication
56:57and practice.
56:59This
56:59has been
57:00to be a very important part of the world.
57:09I don't think so.
