This morning, we strong men met to review some of the basics that make up the foundation of this system. Training the mind and body to do more than two things at once is not easy and requires usual and repeated drills. A new arrival this morning @Chief rounded out the group at 4 men, which gave YHC the ability to join in on the drills. The year of Fightclub training has been enjoyable and the results are certainly evident in those that give it their all.
This moring training was a throwback to the beginning days, we started with the hand drills that combine the attack and defense into a single move. The basic concept of this system is when we block we attack,,, when we sttack we control. Meaning we dont focus on the singular move that is occuring but rather on the entire body and situation. Most of the men are quite good at the hand drills, as their mind now allows them to split the focus into two different directions in order to accomplish the beginning part of the initial contact. But it is just the beginning…… once first contact is made the three main components of battle become increasingly important. Movement, rotation and Balance. These three components must be maintained in ourselves and restricted or controlled in the opponent. And the expansion into this part can be confusing to the mind and body,, making us forget what we thought we knew.
After first contact the danger increases and so the need to eliminate the ability of the attacker to cause damage increases. So yes, we focus on the control and destruction of the legs. This will limit the attackers ability to move and will negatviely effect balance and the ability to generate power though rotation. Very often our minds hyper focus on once target or weapon,, this tunnel vision must be trained out of existence by practicing attacks and control on multiple targets and systems at the same time. At first all will feel lost as even the most basic moves feel clumsy,, but this will desolve very quickly as the mind and body realize that it is not only possible must necessary.
Time went quickly, as it usually does, and the fun came to an end before we could move on to active combat. but never fear,, this part will return very quickly.
So until next week,,, thank you for allowing YHC to share this system with you fine men.
Stay safe.
