00:00We're not killing each other. This is a drill.
00:03What I'm going to do is I'm going to start with my hands up.
00:06And all I'm going to do is, as he's coming in, I'm going to bat it down.
00:09I don't need to bat it very far because we're dealing with this idea of his range.
00:14Yes, he would be trying to punch into my spine.
00:18He's trying to punch me for real.
00:19But I'm really just trying to take it.
00:20His expected range is fairly close.
00:25And I'm trying to take it down off of that.
00:27We can then, you know, we're going to get into this a little more later.
00:31But the idea is I can alter this with more emphatic punches as I need.
00:36But he's going to punch, and I'm going to push right here.
00:39Now, pause.
00:41I'm going to come in a little close.
00:42He's actually good.
00:45He's in range to hit me.
00:47If I wasn't to punch, that would be good.
00:49Alright, so now we're right here.
00:54Just this little bit does give me range to not get hit.
01:00Now I'm going to stop and step back so I don't just stop and give me a bit.
01:03Alright?
01:05Everybody find a partner.
01:06Don't think about killing your partner.
01:09Think about giving them.
01:10We're not trying to be sneaky.
01:12We're trying to work together.
01:13So we need to get used to this bat down.
01:15Alright?
01:15For a few minutes, everybody find a partner and work on this particular drill.
01:19It's midsection punches.
01:21And we're starting with defender hands up.
01:23And we're just taking it down a little bit.
01:25Alright?
01:26And the idea is I don't want to invest too much.
01:30I want to be able to be mobile.
01:31So we're just coming right here.
01:33Alright?
01:34And then we'll come back together and talk about some variations on how we can do this particular drill.
01:39This is the first of the Mako Chibi drills.
01:41Thank you, sir.
01:41Everybody find a partner.
01:42Hey.
01:43Hey.
01:43So I want to point something out.
01:44At a base level, the drill, we're usually, I'm not usually doing a full sweep.
01:50For the drill, I'm really thinking just disrupt the basic motion.
01:55And the reason is because then I can, go ahead, I can vary it up to come further out.
02:01Alright?
02:03But if I want to do something where, if I want to do something where I'm going to manipulate the
02:11wrist,
02:12I might need it even closer.
02:13So for drill work, we're really thinking about just down, just disrupt, disrupt the distance.
02:23And then, when we get into how might I do this in a more realistic scenario, I can push it
02:31further out.
02:31I can come to the outside, I can come to the outside, I can go other places, but there's nothing,
02:36it's absolutely reasonable to think, I should push this further to the outside to make sure it really misses me.
02:42But notice if I'm focused too much on that, but notice if I'm focused too much on that, I kind
02:44of lose it.
02:47That's why with the drill, we're thinking in tight.
02:50And then if I want to come further out, I can.
02:55I want to take it other places.
02:57So, we're going to stay with our same partners we just had, and with your partner this time, think about,
03:03so the last one, I really want it to be fairly close, just for the drill.
03:08So, this time, think about pushing it a little further out, but try and do that without sliding off, right?
03:15If you really invest too much into this sweep out, you get off balance.
03:19You're out of control.
03:21We don't want that.
03:21So, this time we're making a point of, I want it to clear my body, but I also want to
03:27do this in a controlled fashion.
03:29So, no flailing, no hitting as hard as you can, right?
03:34I'm not putting everything I have into it.
03:38Just right here.
03:41Right?
03:42Everybody understand?
03:43Yes, sir.
03:43We're partners.
03:44Feel free to move to everybody.
03:47Don't put the half of the drill.
03:49We're going to do our first trap.
03:51All right?
03:52We've got several different drills we're going to hit.
03:54We're still on the first drill, but we're going to take this drill to something more like, you know, where
03:58I'd want to go.
03:59So, when he gives me this punch, it's over here.
04:03From here, this one's going to come over.
04:06I'm going to keep pushing until I turn fingers up.
04:10Now, here's an important detail, right?
04:12With this drill, the other one's coming.
04:14I know this is coming.
04:16Even if, and that's because it's a drill, but if it weren't a drill, I know the other one's coming
04:19because this guy wants to hit me.
04:20He wants to, excuse me, it's all right, sort of guy.
04:23So, we don't want to think about, like, oh, I'm fine.
04:26I'm just, you know, I'm going to eat the punch.
04:28That's no good.
04:29So, that's part of why I said when we're thinking about how does this translate past just muscle memory, we
04:34aren't just static.
04:35That's the drill.
04:36That's not how we're really going to use it, right?
04:38So, this comes, I'm going to move here, but here's the trap, right?
04:43This one comes on top.
04:45I've now got control of this, and I can execute the lock.
04:50So, everybody's going to do this lock.
04:52This is called a straight arm wrist lock.
04:55Let's go to the side.
04:57So, here, move.
04:59Part of this sweep, this one has to come in.
05:00I'm not really grabbing with my fingers, right?
05:03I'm just kind of mashing that wrist down.
05:05I haven't come out to his hand yet.
05:07As I step to the side, I slide out, point his fingers straight up, and push the hand towards him.
05:14Straight arm, wrist lock.
05:16So, once I'm here, if you then push this hand towards him, the straight arm, you're actually going to hyperextend,
05:23not just the wrist, but you're going to hyperextend the elbow in the process, and you get the shoulders to
05:28drop.
05:29But let's take note, I'm not, it's not right here.
05:34Even if I have leverage to get him over, I'm not, and that's why the drill is about the muscle
05:40memory, which gets us with the sense, but then we're going to use that to move.
05:47By the way, I said if you push in, you can push in, you can pull out, same things apply.
05:53I find that, I find the pushing in version, it can feel a little more intuitive to begin with, but
05:59if I think about knuckles towards him, and I'm going to pull this wrist towards my center as I step
06:03back, I also get a lot of leverage there.
06:07Straight arm, wrist lock is the lock, but what's important is how we use the drill to keep it.
06:12All right, so here, notice, I already, I'm doing the same motion here, my hip's already starting to move.
06:19This one comes over, and all I'm doing is mashing into my ribs, that's the trap.
06:24Let's talk about how you don't trap it, and this is what I mean.
06:26Point the fingers up, push in.
06:31Questions?
06:32Okay, change up partners, thank you, sir.
06:35There you are, come on, sir.
06:39You might need me.
06:40All right, we're going to go on to the next, so we've been working on the first Mako Cheeky drill,
06:45and we've used that movement to think about how can I change it up into more of a realistic scenario.
06:52What I really like that I saw from most people in here is that you right away got the sense
06:58of moving to find that lock, because as I said, if you stand right in front, you can get by
07:04the other hand.
07:04That is part of this, all right?
07:06But that, but that's a key component, it's going to come up again.
07:09So the second Mako Cheeky drill is, he's giving me a head high, and I'm coming up and giving him
07:17a Mako blocker.
07:18All right, and then immediately after, I'm going to give him an R-K instructor.
07:22All right, so this is important, right?
07:24I don't want to catch this here.
07:26Oh, now I'll block it.
07:27That's bad.
07:30Yeah, no.
07:31So you want to go ahead and start the end.
07:35Pure drill work, I really, this is fine.
07:38You do want to think about sliding down the arm into that hook block.
07:43More realistically, though, sometimes, my head's going to come out of the way.
07:47I don't do a full, quite a full shift out into a front stance, which is not to say I
07:53never
07:53would, but my inclination is just like a slip and jab.
07:57You want your head out of the way.
07:59So I do put some movement in this one to make it real, but for the drill, we want to
08:03get used
08:03to this.
08:07And also, you should key off when you do an arc hand stroke.
08:19So, at a base level, I'm coming inside, all right?
08:24The muscle memory we're trying to build is this sense of meeting, the attack is coming,
08:29meeting it, and then dragging it forward, and then, of course, you can go into a strike.
08:34If you, as we work this, you're going to find everybody, everybody usually builds things.
08:40Maybe move your head off the wall.
08:41That's a good thing.
08:43It's not a specific part of the drill, but that means it's going to be a great thing.
08:45So everybody find a new partner and work on smoking blocks.
08:52So I said, base drill is really just in place here, arc hand strike.
08:59I also mentioned that my team that I've seen was going to be off the line.
09:02I saw this.
09:03I saw a lot of people also kind of identifying with that.
09:06And it makes tons of sense.
09:07I don't really want to lead the center line.
09:09I don't want to move some.
09:10So the thing I want to change it up just a little bit, whatever you're going to think
09:13about, as you're doing this, shift your hips a little more, when you come from this arc
09:18hand striker, shift back.
09:21Hey!
09:22Right?
09:23And now when we're here, shift back.
09:25Hey!
09:27So use your hips, all right?
09:29We're using, we want to be able to use our weapons, we want to be able to use our hands
09:34or feet from wherever they are.
09:35We also want to be able to use our hips from wherever they are.
09:37So get to that position, feel free to shift your hips a little more.
09:41And then, as you're pulling in, now again, try not to have an arc hand on your knee from
09:46your hair, we're all friends.
09:49But, when you, after you've got that hooking block, think about pulling further as your
09:56hips shift back, pulling them into that strike.
10:02Okay, everybody find a different partner, work on this for a couple of minutes, and then
10:06we'll come back and talk about what type of technique we can find from this moment.
10:10All right, we're still on this same drill.
10:12So he's going to be head high, I'm here to film my arc hand.
10:16Where do I go after this?
10:18And I could just go, oh, why did that happen?
10:20Right, but then I, again, I, as I said, I don't want to just stand here.
10:25But the first part, it usually is as I'm moving.
10:30So let's make a look at what I've got here, I've got my arc hand.
10:34The fact is that I've got this corner, I've got a connection post on this corner.
10:39The process of this cooking block is really my traffic.
10:42We've got a lot of options.
10:44I was just, I was talking to Mr. Bishop about, you know, what comes to mind from him,
10:50where his, where his coaches, all of them, most of them are going to be things that are community.
10:54If I rock him in up this way, I've got my Asodogari.
10:58If I, if I want, I can swing this down, get it out, you know, and I can break his
11:03arm right there.
11:04There are all these things in here.
11:05We're going to do a particular one.
11:07And just like before, I want to move out of this directly in the front of the stance.
11:13Everybody take note, a lot of you know this already, but wherever your hips are pointing at you,
11:17you have the best leverage, where you're most powerful.
11:21And so, generally speaking, I want to make a point of pointing my hips at him
11:25when I want to manipulate his body,
11:27and getting out of the place where his hips are pointing at me.
11:31All right, so we're right here.
11:33We've done this.
11:34I'm in a good place, except for the fact that I'm still in front of his hips.
11:36So as I go to do this next part, I'm going to move to this angle.
11:50I'm at his side now.
11:52My hips are pointed at his.
11:54His hips are pointed out there.
11:55That's what I want.
11:57We're at your own wrist.
11:59Now I'm going to roll the shoulder, and I'm going to roll the hips down my own wrist.
12:03So what I do is I do a little paper extension there.
12:08Again, no, no, fast.
12:11Nobody's trying to kill each other.
12:12We're all friends.
12:13And I'm listening for his tap.
12:15In the taps, I stop and leave.
12:17Right?
12:18And then from here, I can even get a throw.
12:20The throw is I push towards the shoulder, right here, and he sits down.
12:27If he doesn't sit down, I can worry more dynamically seconds for another day.
12:30Right now, if you're getting in front, sit down.
12:33So again, punch guns, come right here.
12:36Drive towards the side.
12:38I don't want to do this right here.
12:40It's about to be over here.
12:41It also makes it harder for me to get the lock.
12:44Roll the shoulder.
12:45Roll the wrist over your own wrist.
12:48Go slow.
12:49If you're on the tap, immediately stop.
12:52Push with the palms upside.
12:54Push on the shoulder.
12:56Push your foot right close to his.
12:57That's your pinnacle.
12:58And then turn.
13:00And the person who's getting in front,
13:05the person who's throwing,
13:06if your partner is not sitting down,
13:09if they're not immediately finding your colleague to sit down comfortably,
13:13don't force it.
13:15Rest assured, we can.
13:16If you're throwing them, you've got leverage to throw them hard.
13:19Again, we're collaborators.
13:21Give your partner the chance to decide to sit down.
13:23If they're not finding it,
13:24reset and figure out where that is.
13:26Safety first.
13:27One more time, sir.
13:29All right.
13:29So we're right here.
13:30Push comes.
13:31I'm up.
13:31Hey!
13:33Drive towards the side.
13:34So we're not ready when we just hit.
13:36Roll the shoulder.
13:38And roll the hand that's holding the wrist.
13:41Everyone can see.
13:43Roll the shoulder.
13:45Roll the hand that's holding the wrist.
13:48All right.
13:49So it's here.
13:50And I'm going to tap.
13:52Push on the shoulder.
13:53This foot needs to come to the middle.
13:55Is that right here?
13:56And he sits.
13:57You'll notice that since you're wise,
13:58that's who you go as he sits down.
14:01It's relatively important to you on the set of your arm.
14:05All right.
14:05Everybody with a news partner,
14:07again, go slow and don't rush.
14:10We are working on joints.
14:11We're trying to be really careful.
14:12But sometimes you get like a,
14:14hey, I just need to kind of rest the cheek up.
14:16Everyone, anyone in here should feel free to step off your mat,
14:20relax the joints, take a minute, catch your breath.
14:22There's no, no, like, obligation to stick through.
14:27Now, we're going to go on to the next on the cheeky joint.
14:31So the last one, when the punch comes,
14:33there's here.
14:34I'm going to do my hard hand.
14:36This time, I'm going to reach across and do my block here,
14:41and then back fist into the face.
14:43All right.
14:44So very lightly.
14:45I don't need to hit him hard.
14:48All right.
14:48I am going to keep a fist.
14:50In practice, I tend to do more than we did.
14:52I tend to hit him here and then backhand him.
14:54That's just kind of forced havoc.
14:56But for the drill, fist.
14:58All right.
14:59And here.
15:00And then he goes to the other side.
15:03Hey.
15:04Hey.
15:05All right.
15:06Right now, all I'm doing is aiming right here, right?
15:12He would actually go through my face.
15:16At this point, I've pushed it off the line.
15:19And that's all I really need.
15:20I don't need to push it all the way there.
15:24Really bad things happen if I do that.
15:26I don't need that type of distance.
15:29And so just that here, the left to the back fist.
15:32Okay.
15:33On the other side.
15:34Here.
15:35Everybody find a new partner.
15:37You want that.
15:39Instructed at a basteral level.
15:41Here.
15:43Here.
15:43Right?
15:44But many of you noticed, there is a nerve cluster right here on the other side.
15:53The fact is when I go to do this, and I tend to also kind of move my hips out
15:59this direction.
16:01If you come in and roll, you tend to whack this nerve cluster that's exposed.
16:09I'm actually trying to go kind of light because it sucks.
16:13But roll, then back fist.
16:16And just like everything else, we want to look for weight.
16:19Where's the trap?
16:21Right?
16:21Because I don't want to just sit here.
16:22Where I hit him, and now, yeah.
16:25Now even out here, where I often come, I don't want to sit here very long.
16:30So I hit him here.
16:31I might hit him here again.
16:32But I'm going to drive to that corner.
16:35And here, here, we have a key out.
16:38But then from here, I'm going to drive right here.
16:41And it gets me out of the front of his hips.
16:44And then roll it over.
16:46So if it's straight, I can pull straight down.
16:50Give me a little more light.
16:52Elbows are fragile.
16:53Everybody be nice to your partners.
16:55Right?
16:55But I can pull straight down.
16:57Or I can keep pulling.
16:59Right here.
17:01I can come to a chicken wing claw.
17:04This is also very effective.
17:07How far, how long do I want to stay entangled with him?
17:10Depends on how much size and strength I think he has on me.
17:14Right?
17:15If they're a much bigger opponent, I really want to kind of get rid of him.
17:19So everything I'm going to be doing is going to be kind of push him away so I don't get
17:23tangled up.
17:23If they're more my size, I might be more inclined to kind of manipulate, move around,
17:29and put him on the ground that way.
17:32Here, here, here, here.
17:34Hey!
17:34And then from here, drive to this corner.
17:39And turn your hips to roll that shoulder.
17:44Okay.
17:44This is the trap, and I've got control of it.
17:46Before, I'm not actually executing a lock yet.
17:49But I've got, I've been tied up, I've got a connection point.
17:52I don't want to stay here.
17:54You know, we're doing things very static.
17:55I don't want to actually stay here.
17:56I want to move.
17:57Either I want to push straight down so he'll put his face on the mat, or I want to keep
18:01turning and get that chicken.
18:03All right?
18:04We're going to stop right here.
18:05But come to this position very lightly.
18:08Think about pulling on the straight arm.
18:11Communicate with your partner.
18:12Do not rush.
18:13Levels are fragile.
18:15I mean that.
18:16I'm going to keep saying it because I can't say it enough.
18:19But I've got that leverage point here.
18:21And then once I'm here, if I want to get rid of him, you can drive him this way, put
18:25him
18:25on his face there.
18:26I can.
18:27You know, just shove him there and make sense.
18:29Disentable.
18:31All right?
18:32But, from our Mako Chigi, it's here, here, drive to this angle, trap the arm.
18:38All right?
18:39It's a new partner.
18:41Real quick note.
18:41We're actually going to move on to the next one.
18:42Before we do, I want to, something that I saw a lot of discussion on that's really good.
18:47It was actually going to be kind of the next iteration to point it out.
18:50But everybody went there already, and I like that, is when we do this, when I come here
18:55and I shoot up to right here, whether or not, you know, wherever you catch it, this trap
19:00right here, in order to move somebody bigger than you, you really need to shift your hips.
19:06So there's a little bit of, you know, yeah, I can find a way to make this work on Mr.
19:12Larkin.
19:12But the structure I can create that's going to give me the most faith in my butt, the most
19:20confidence is going to be come here and then definitely do this turn.
19:25It's just structural.
19:26The nature of how we move.
19:28And some of it.
19:29Again, that was going to be my next iteration, but everybody kind of found that along the way,
19:33so, good job, nice one.
19:37We're actually going to the next Mako Chigi.
19:39He's giving me the face high.
19:41This time, I'm actually going to shift into effectively a front stance.
19:45And this is going to come up, and I'm doing a hooking block from the outside.
19:50So, you know, just like we did it from the inside a minute ago, without shifting necessarily,
19:56although in practice we all did want to shift, this one we're actually prescribing, go ahead
20:00and get used to shift and hook.
20:03Once I'm here, I mean, I've got hit him, I've got break the arm, and we're actually going
20:10to go ahead and do it with a simulated arm.
20:13Simulated is very important.
20:15So, I think I'm going to be left before a front stance to get my head offline and do
20:23my hooking block, and then when I go to break, I'm going to shift my hips back in.
20:29And, of course, he can do it.
20:30Hey!
20:31All right, so now I'm going to right before a front stance.
20:34When we go to the next one of the drill, he's going to punch with the other hand.
20:37I'm already head offline.
20:40Now I'm going to shift back.
20:41Hey!
20:42That's it.
20:43Hey!
20:45Hey!
20:46Hey!
20:48Just like our inside clicking block, you can think of this starting almost like a rising
20:55block.
20:56I'm not doing a straight rising block because I want to draw the minimum.
21:01That's what I'm working on.
21:02It starts like this, and then you put it over.
21:05And I'm not, I'm really trying to avoid using my thumb as best as possible.
21:09I want to drag down that arm, and it'll kind of catch at the wrist.
21:16I want to test.
21:17He's leaning right here.
21:20Hey!
21:22Just like that.
21:23All right, we're going to find a new partner.
21:25We need to be careful about elbows.
21:26Do not make any contact on this elbow break.
21:29But you know what?
21:30Lots of key ops would be great.
21:34That was a person who's about to test and, you know, going to miss the injury.
21:39We're going to start, so first an observation.
21:42If you punch, and so we're here, and I'm going to pull five.
21:48Just don't make me laugh.
21:50Once we get here, I'm going to acknowledge something that a lot of you know already.
21:54Once we get here, it's really easy to come down, get him in the face, leave him in the
21:59stomach, and go straight into something.
22:04We're going to change it up to slightly different, and there's nothing wrong with that.
22:08That's great stuff, right?
22:10But I'm actually going to change our dynamic a little bit.
22:15Instead of something like here, stripe.
22:19This should be pull and push and pull, break the elbow.
22:22Instead of doing that, I'm going to think about this hooking block, pulling them in, as this
22:30comes underneath, and put them down.
22:33How much do I have to turn for that?
22:35Well, I don't want to be right in front of the hips, so as I come to here, I kind
22:43of turn
22:44out.
22:44It makes room for that.
22:46But this is a tricep block, so you want to be just above the elbow.
22:50There's a nerve cluster right in front of the elbow.
22:53I'm aiming for that.
22:54It's a little high.
22:55It still hurts.
22:56It's all right.
22:57That was a long time before it's happened.
22:59Is that going to happen?
23:00Okay.
23:02There's...
23:04Brain in form, it wouldn't be an elbow or a puff.
23:07It's not on the forearm for this.
23:13Here, think about we're continuing this hook as we turn in.
23:19How much do you need to step around?
23:22Depends on the person that's going to be attacked.
23:24Sometimes you can do it where you're...
23:30It's not one size fits all.
23:32None of this is one size fits all.
23:34It's all meant to be.
23:35Let's go to some muscle memory, and then you can interpret it however you need for whatever
23:39situation.
23:40So the next drill, again, if the hooking block comes in, this is effectively our trap, even
23:47though it was our way of not getting hit.
23:49Right now, I've kind of got it trapped me.
23:52So when I move, and when this push is here, she comes with me.
23:57Now, once they're down this low, obviously, when you're still affecting you, you can just
24:00shove them away.
24:01You can come out here, do a wrist lock, do a wrist lock, and throw them otherwise.
24:09And you've got, once they're all bent over, you've got, like, lots of options going through.
24:14Nice face there on the condition of this one.
24:16What part of your hand are you using, guys?
24:18Can you press a focus?
24:19Oh, great question, because, and I'm going to give you what I don't want to do first.
24:24If you let it come down to your forearm, you have less control.
24:28Generally, at that point, when people try to do this, they tend to go to, I say, hey,
24:32me, when I've done this, and it's come out to my forearm, I'm so busy trying to put pressure,
24:36I tend to merge forward, and then I'll even sometimes slip past it.
24:40So you want to think, as I do this, it should be the edge of your hand, and you can
24:45lie it up
24:45to this little part of your wrist.
24:47Right?
24:48But if I get here, it tends to be able to invest in a number of weapons.
24:52If we can, we should get us through a partner.
24:58Any other questions?
25:00Okay, new partners.
25:03Just wondering, I actually really wanted to pick on Mr. Larkin as much as I'm picking on
25:07the champagne.
25:08He's just injured, and so I was trying to tread lightly, but I like picking on him more generally,
25:14so it's kind of a...
25:16I'm spreading this one.
25:17Yes, I'm spreading misery around, because it's mine.
25:20So we're...
25:25We're up to Mako-Chiggy 4.
25:41Alright, Mako.
25:42And then she did, and then I'm giving her an overhead strip.
25:44She does the same thing.
25:50Now, we can just stand right here, and do this, or we can circle.
26:00And getting in a rhythm is a good thing.
26:10What's the purpose of this?
26:11Well, there's a bunch of these, by the way.
26:13There's not just one.
26:14You can make them up when you start thinking about it.
26:18Getting in a sense of initial contact, off the line, push in.
26:25This is actually our trap right here.
26:28I could come in and throw her really easily from this point.
26:31I could keep sweeping down.
26:33I could...
26:33There's just...
26:34There's tons of things.
26:35But getting in the habit of finding a rhythm for that is really useful.
26:41Alright, so that's what we're playing with.
26:43We're going to work this particular one here today, but know that it's really easy to change
26:50it up to a straight punch, or change it up to a wide punch, alright?
26:54But we're starting with an overhead strike.
26:58Kneading in, off the line, push in.
27:03So one, two, three, and then four is eye attack.
27:10Try and find a rhythm with your partner.
27:16Alright, don't go fast.
27:19Just get a moment.
27:20Good.
27:21Can everybody find your partner?
27:22And work the push.
27:25And I've been, I've sort of mentioned this to some people.
27:28What we're trying to build up to here, this generally starts out as a very deliberate,
27:32hard strike.
27:33And we kind of build up to, able to manage this with a lighter touch.
27:38And a lot of you guys found that.
27:40But part of the thing about setting up a rhythm, part of what we're working towards is how do
27:45we recognize a rhythm, and then we make the decision to break it.
27:49So that's what we're going to do next.
27:50We're partners.
27:55She's the feeder.
27:58So she's, so we've established, I'm going to break the rhythm.
28:02Because she's feeding.
28:04Alright?
28:04Same drill.
28:05So we're here.
28:10And at some point, I change up.
28:15The person who sets the terms gets to win the negotiation.
28:20That's true in business.
28:23It's true in martial arts.
28:26It's true in competition.
28:27So that's what we're playing with.
28:30The terms of our interaction, again, we're agreeing that she's the feeder and I'm going
28:34to change the rhythm.
28:34But when we set this rhythm, those are kind of the terms.
28:39And then I'm going to decide to change it.
28:40And by the way, if we have your partner, you're going to change up who's the feeder and
28:44who's the receiver.
28:45Alright?
28:45We've started with that.
28:47But here's the way that I changed the rhythm just now.
28:49So she gives me the attack.
28:51I went through once.
28:53They were exactly the same one.
28:54I got here.
28:55Instead of just pushing in, I pivoted.
29:00Right?
29:01And then from here, I can easily do whatever technique I want.
29:06You've got a bunch of ways you can do this.
29:08But you have to think, and we don't have to do this fast.
29:12It's going to be one of these motions.
29:14Maybe it's here.
29:16Right?
29:18Maybe it's as I first meet her, I try a minute.
29:21At some point though, I'm changing the rhythm.
29:24So here's the one I want everybody to work on right now.
29:29Here.
29:30Here.
29:31And then when I...
29:37Instead of pushing this in, I'm going to let this hand come underneath.
29:41And swing right there.
29:43And that's actually the way everybody's going to work on that.
29:46And there's a reason for that.
29:47Because we have a technique that comes right afterwards.
29:48She gives me the attack.
29:50Here, here.
29:51Come around.
29:52And then the actual technique is reach underneath.
29:57So drive up for a vertical wrist crank.
29:59Stompio.
30:00UGG guy or central lock.
30:01Whatever you want to call it.
30:04Because I think that's where I normally go.
30:08And when this comes over.
30:10And here, when this passes under, this arm is going to come underneath the elbow.
30:15And I'm going to pivot to get her centered.
30:19And reach underneath.
30:23And then drive back up for your Stompio.
30:27Everybody understand?
30:29Sure.
30:30Go slow.
30:31This is not something we want to rush through.
30:34All right.
30:34Change of arms.
30:37A lot of people, you know, I kind of went straight to, oh, we just found this position.
30:41And several of you have not really gotten a chance to work this before.
30:43So the idea with Stompio is, I'm turning, this is, you know, kind of a wrist stretch beginning.
30:55I'm turning the thumb.
30:57This is where our hand looks good normally.
30:59We turn the palm out.
31:01And then I'm going to keep turning the thumb outward.
31:04Right?
31:05And so, we're rotating this whole, your entire forearm.
31:10So the way that I, the way that I get leverage for this, I want to think about putting my
31:14thumb
31:14on the back of his hand over the knee part over the pinky.
31:19Now, the way I instruct my students to remember this is by saying, pretend like you're holding
31:23a cheeseburger.
31:25So, cheeseburger grin.
31:27The reason I started saying this is because I spent years saying people, you know, they'd
31:32be, if you try and grab them like this, and this is the point I'm making, I really don't
31:36have leverage.
31:38To hyper-examine.
31:39To be able to attack.
31:40I have to have my thumb on the back.
31:42And for years, I would sit there and say to everybody, put your thumb on the back of
31:45their hand.
31:45Put your thumb on the back of their hand.
31:46And nobody remembered.
31:48Put your thumb on the back of your hand.
31:49Put your thumb on the cheeseburger and suddenly I'm waiting for them.
31:52So I started saying that all the time.
31:55This grip.
31:58It's going to be right there.
31:59Now, what I'm really doing, if I'm out here, I probably have wrist strength enough
32:05to make this round tap.
32:08But I don't really like those odds because if I'm then trying to get Mr. Bishop to tap,
32:12I probably do not have the wrist strength to make that work if I'm out here doing an isolation.
32:17So what I want to do is hold it close to my body.
32:20L will point it up. This is straight up and down, and I want the wrist as straight as possible.
32:25Hold it close to my body. Minimum star hips are coming in about the same direction.
32:30It's not precise, but about the same direction. I'm not facing them.
32:32And then I'm going to turn towards him and take the wrist with me.
32:36It happens very fast. If I go turn towards him and don't take the wrist with me,
32:40it looks like this and nothing happens.
32:42If I turn this far and then start cranking, I get there, but I don't have as much leverage
32:48because I have less room for my hips to move.
32:51So again, come right here, hold it close to your body.
32:53Put it on your shoulder. That often really helps.
32:55Put it on your shoulder. Start with your hips pointing the same direction.
33:02We're looking around at everybody. And then turn your hips towards him.
33:07And take the hands with me before they are.
33:09So very quickly, let's start.
33:14So my wrist going in between the hands, that's really important.
33:17I see a lot of people going to place up that wrist when they're trying to do it.
33:20It actually needs to be an inch. It doesn't work.
33:23You've got to have the wrist.
33:26Excellent point.
33:27All right. Now, everybody in the new partner, just for a few minutes,
33:31I want everybody to practice. You can start in the position.
33:33You know, we just did a transition to get there.
33:35I'm not so worried about the entrance, but I want everybody to take a minute
33:38and practice how that Sankyo is supposed to work.
33:42All right. Thank you, sir.
33:48All right. So our next drill.
33:51She's going to give me the punch to the face again.
33:55Right here and go, yeah, I'm in trouble.
33:58Pass, pass.
33:59And notice I'm turning, it's not quite a full front stance,
34:05but I'm turning kind of white in front stance.
34:08All right. So take the same side.
34:10Here.
34:11And now from here, if I want to hit them from right there,
34:15if I want to go for some kind of, and this is a really good connection point,
34:20to drive for whatever technique I'm going to get from here.
34:22So if I then want to drive in for a throw of some kind, it's really easy.
34:27Now, again, I'm right in front of Burkhead, so I don't want to stay here.
34:30All right. But driving out here, you've got all kinds of throws.
34:42So think shift.
34:44So that your head's out of the way.
34:46Shift to this.
34:47It's not, you know, it's not quite full of each front stance.
34:50But it's, the front stance line.
34:52Compone to the outside.
34:55So pass, pass.
34:56And then I'm right here, and then she's going to go to the other side.
35:00You have to pull your hand back.
35:03That makes more sense.
35:05So whichever hand, I feel this.
35:09Whichever hand's on it.
35:11It's like one, two, one, pass.
35:14Pull your hand back.
35:19Because it's outside in.
35:25And I usually, what are you doing with the other hand, right?
35:28Put it in here.
35:30Put it in here.
35:32Put it in here.
35:48The one that's on it.
35:50It's what you want to do with, you want to turn around for technique.
35:53Obviously I've got that still.
35:55I've got drive in.
35:58I've got all the things that have been talking about all day.
36:00I've still got all of this available to me.
36:02because I've got that connection point.
36:05The actual movement drill, outside in.
36:09I'm going to shift it.
36:14All right.
36:18Give it a try.
36:19New part.
36:21The one we just did, outside.
36:25The last one of the entire Mako Jigi drill set
36:29is we're going to do actually the same movement
36:32but I'm going to be on the inside
36:33instead of the outside.
36:36So when she gives me this punch,
36:38I'm right here.
36:38What do you think is what I need?
36:39It's right here.
36:41Same concept, right?
36:42I'm going to pull as a forward
36:44because it's not about the plug in the strike.
36:47It's about pulling in here
36:47so that I can get whatever else I really want to get out of this.
36:51So when I'm on the other side,
36:52it's what I need.
36:54And it's got that same...
36:56It's got that same...
37:00that thing where...
37:01The one that's on them
37:03is going to do the first of the passes.
37:06Again, and I'm right here.
37:07If you want to go from our early Mako Jigi
37:09and come from this position
37:10and come here,
37:11that seems entirely appropriate.
37:13If you want to drive in for a lock,
37:16that's entirely appropriate.
37:17We're doing this to build muscle movement.
37:20That's the purpose of the drills.
37:21So in practice,
37:25in practice,
37:26it's going to be more like this.
37:28I'm not standing there doing nothing.
37:31I'm using it to lead around
37:33and take that balance.
37:34But again,
37:36the outside one is going to come first,
37:40and then the one that's on them
37:42at the end
37:42is going to do
37:43the first pass for the next one.
37:46Okay?
37:54All right.
37:55Everybody find a new partner.
37:56Bye.
37:58All right.
37:59So,
38:01I saw a lot of good
38:02playing around with this.
38:03It's made to be drill work.
38:04I had multiple questions
38:06about why two
38:08instead of just a block.
38:10And the reason is,
38:11and several of you
38:12already heard me say this,
38:13because we're trying to play
38:15with not just block,
38:16right?
38:17Yes, I can do that.
38:18I'm just batting away.
38:20But if I want to draw them in,
38:24then I need that hook.
38:26It's not about a straight block.
38:28It's really about
38:29the connection point,
38:31the traffic.
38:32So,
38:34this brush block
38:35gives me a little more
38:37connection point.
38:38And this first one
38:38gives me a little safety net
38:40of, oh,
38:40it's not going to hit me
38:41in the face.
38:41I can still stay close.
38:43For the second one
38:44to come over
38:45and draw them in.
38:45And then your elbow
38:46can come to the throat,
38:48you need to,
38:48whatever you want.
38:49The world is your oyster.
38:51But that's what we're playing with.
38:52Now, the other thing
38:53I want to point out,
38:53you may have noticed,
38:54sometimes,
38:55this is drill work.
38:56It's meant to be,
38:58you know,
38:58we're just going to have
38:59punch, punch, punch, punch,
39:00punch, and you kind of do it
39:01over and over
39:01both sides.
39:03When I do that,
39:04I tend to think about
39:05where am I going
39:05for our real world application.
39:07And where I'm going for that
39:08is if she gives me
39:10a punch on one side
39:11and then a punch
39:12on the other side's coming,
39:14I'm really,
39:14I'm thinking about,
39:15I'm not sitting here
39:16waiting for these punches.
39:18I'm ready to close in
39:20and tie them up.
39:21So when the next one comes,
39:22I tend to come right here
39:23because we're already close
39:24and I'm all ready to come here
39:26and choke the life out of her.
39:30So think about
39:32how do we take this
39:33from the drill work
39:34up to something
39:36that may be useful
39:37and then we can work
39:39on that interaction
39:39when there's more
39:40aggression coming.
39:41Think about that,
39:42yes, I've got this.
39:44Maybe you can do it
39:44a second time,
39:45but there's probably
39:46a second attack coming.
39:47I think that's a good,
39:50I think that's a really
39:51good assumption.
39:52She's doing first attack,
39:54right,
39:54the second one's probably coming.
39:55So if I want to drive here,
39:57that's fine.
39:57If I want to engage
39:58with that second one
40:00and then I come in
40:01and go to the other side,
40:02that's fine.
40:02But thinking about
40:04after we do our first one,
40:05using that connection point
40:07to pull them in
40:09to whatever technique
40:09we're going to do
40:10and not be directly
40:12in front of their hips like you.
40:16Here, as I go to pull in
40:18and make that step to the side,
40:20something that gets me
40:20out of directly
40:21in front of them.
40:24And with that,
40:25we're actually out of time.
40:27So everybody,
40:28thank you very much.
40:29I hope everybody
40:29had a great time today.
40:31I like what I've seen
40:33from everybody
40:33and how you've taken this
40:34and kind of worked with it
40:36and evolved with it
40:36and evolved with it.
40:37That's what it's all about.
40:39I, of course,
40:40would be allowed to
40:40stick around and answer
40:41any questions anyway.
40:44Let's line up.
40:45Go.
40:47And I was in golf.
40:49I'm just curious
40:50to be in the middle of the hill.
40:52Noony, noony, noony.
40:55There you are.
40:57There you are.
41:05There you are.
