Visiting the Canadian Mappers

I had a student struggle with that tonight. "You want me to talk and say left or right? I can't do that!"

 

"Left" and "right" might be possible, but whole sentences to someone I don't know? Never.
Can hardly do that with people I know.

I once wanted to go to a seminar about self-defense (including deescalation and the such).
In the end I didn't dare go inside; one of the reasons being that chances were it would have "act-parts".


PS.: I have no clue, what the off-camera comment is.
It doesn't happen too often anymore, but all I understand is "Tell him about daddidoooda" or something like that

Thanks!

In my defense: English isn't my first language

Never heard of it and I'm sort of scared to google it :thinking:

 

Put private browsing on and don't do it at work if you do google it.

 

The voice of experience? :Angel:

(you sly cowboy)

 

A friend told me what to do.

 

We can always rely on :simon:.

 

The next stage of the training did involve hitting while being involved in a two way dialogue, both in terms of going with no direct stimulus or responding to a perceived intention (visual or aural stimuli).

In this instance it was done as a game. No shouting, no verbal abuse. The principle of having to employ a physical skill set and utilise the ability to observe while remaining relaxed and having the brain engaged in the information processing required to listen and reply remains the same. It's not easy, but in terms of 'self defence' the ability to manage that to either stop the violence, initiate the physical attack or respond to/deflect the physical attack is one of the most important and easily neglected skills.

Hannibal's crew did really really well with this, and combined with the verbal aggression and contact acclimatisation we did the next day, they showed a sound ability to talk while still being aware of angles / positioning / opportunities etc.

Looks like you had a great time. Too bad I couldn't make it.

 

It does sound as if there's a canned laughter track in the background to most of the participation footage, but it all seems traceable to Hannibal's fellow instructor The Morrigan.

 

Here's the last (I think) of the preemptive exercises I made the participants at Hannibal's place do. This marks the blurring transition point between visually proactive and reactive tactics.

The last of the video clips on preemption!

This clip features Hannibal squaring up to me.

Jay ...

use the listening to the earpiece on the radio guard where john does the rubbing the neck cover ...

 

And now you can see why I'm going for that preempt - because its redundancy is my intercept and feeds into the next tactic.

Feeding the Haymaker.

I've got a little bit behind on this. Here's the second part of my main coach element for the Shuto Uke, Age Uke, Gedan Barai haymaker exercise followed by two 'drill interruption' coaching points.

Great take up by Hannibal's students. They quickly adapted to choosing the most appropriate tactic for the partner feed.

 

Going from 'static' single attack to a 'dynamic' double attack with the momentum of the failed haymaker morphing into a drive forwards. In the first instance I was still in 'walk through talk through' teaching mode and was almost taken out by the speed of Ken dropping for the tackle.

Ken is one of Hannibal's students and he has a much deserved rep for being handy and happy to 'up the pace' at any time as he was to show throughout this seminar and in the scenario training we did the next day.

This, in the way I approach things is a 4th tier drill.

Tier 0 is avoidance, deterence and de-escalation.

Tier 1 is preemption if I have concluded that this is going to go physical and that any de-escalation is failing and I have no non-violent exit. While that sounds like a weighing up moment it is likely to be a split second judgement (backed here in the UK by Section 76 of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008) and the 'de-escalation' attempt might not even have time to happen - this will vary according to the environment/context of the incident and the concurrent attitude of the immediate threat (EASE of the attack to break down the factors into cascade headings covering multiple factors - environment, attitude, speed, entry angle factors).

Tier 2 is hitting while shielding - the extended 'hikite' hand going for the head and shielding on one side while the other arm covers the other side.

Tier 3 is missing that head shot and having to follow through with a secondary tactic such as the elbow of the non hikite hand absorbing the impact of the forward momentum of the aggressor's body or striking in and then continuing as necessary with a Shuto Uke, Age Uke or Gedan Barai according to relevant positions.

Tier 4 therefore is the failure of all those with the aggressor going in with momentum with another attack before Tier 3 has landed according to relevant positions with another driving/swinging punch, grabbing, clinching, barging and tackling etc.

Hope you like it.

 

Ken it is worth pointing out he is nearly 60 and can still out-ruck most people, especially the young bucks who want to take a run at the grey wolf!

 

I'm a little behind.

The next group of videos show one of MAP's finest and me working together. Hannibal is my Uke. Got to keep your eye on the ball when working with these big strong people, even in the slow demonstrations!
