Brian! This was so VALUABLE!! Yay!! I will not have any fancy moves, it will be just simple and getting in close using 'surprise' which is that OODA loop...loopout! This gives me far more confidence. I've been arguing with others about the OBSERVATION part, to be able to at least see enough to understand the opponent and whether or not that is important. I counter with, if I allow ONE hit and I will be 'paused'. They counter with; are they professional or are they wannabees? I counter with the only thing I should waste precious time thinking is can I run or am I actually going to have to 'hurt this guy and fast', they counter with if this guy is a threat, there ain't going to be any running anymore, stormy, against a younger fitter attacker, then I counter with 'how about pretending to be what I look like, an old, scared to death lady...ACTING 101 to buy time and set up a surprise and suss out the opponent? Just like you did with the pow pow pow charge where you give them no time to think. LET them in close to rob, rape and make them think I am so easy they won't have to exert much energy to subdue me...during that time while acting I can decide on the closest, easiest, most ILLEGAL as hell ways to hurt this guy. It was so nice to remember how fragile guys are with that third leg. Brian! What about biting? This is one of my most favorite tools I've never used except in play fighting and without chomping down to break skin makes me a winner. Our jaws are designed for power in chewing. Lots of continuous exercise there!! Why have I heard that biting should be avoided? Just HIV? Hep C? How to weight these concerns now so they won't cause hesitation?
Biting is a very effective tool if one finds themselves in a legally justified position to do so and understands how to make it work without it being used back against you. I wouldn't worry so much about the blood transmitted diseases since you are likely in a bigger hurt if you lose. Acting meek and luring an attacker into a false sense can be a brilliant tactic and give you the element of surprise. I fully endorse it and teach it.
Some good key points...This is why I always practice and drill my open hand startle flinch responses defensive with a flurry of offensive elbows and/ or punches back to the opponent. This is where I also like to employ cyclic hitting which is another type of flurry punches similar to what you just demonstrated. The key here is once my OODA Loop starts I have to immediately go on the offensive to disrupt your OODA Loop with aggressive counter attacks.
Nice explanation and coaching brother! I'm actually the "other" Vunak Full instructor in Denver/Aurora. I've been with Vunak for 15 years now and still going strong. Definitely keeping the flame alive bro! Hit me up if you ever want to rock out some conversations!
If you watch some flurries thrown in boxing, MMA, etc. you will likely see the defensive fighter switch from parrying, blocking, head movement, etc. and start covering up and flinching. That is an example of a brain's lack of ability to process all of the OODA Loops being imposed upon it.
Too bad it doesn't work like that,maybe in a drunkn bar fight but not in a typical encounter.Personally i would come in with 1/2/3 feint strikes with never an intent to throw a strike,nothing but distraction.My real intent is to use my powerful leg attacks like an inside kick to the knee or even just a simple leg sweep,depends what i feel is needed.Any smart fighter will keep his hands up and let his legs do the grunt work until in close and even in close legs are still very powerful. You don't see dangerous leg attacks in martial arts training because nobody is going to apply them in a training session,everyone would have broken legs.You could train them in slow motion but what's the point.
What does your comment have to do with this video? This video is about the neurological concept of OODA loops and why keeping your awareness high and responses simple is important. The concept of an OODA loop is a never ending process that governs every single thing you do in your life from driving, to brushing your teeth, to taking a drink of water. Of course it is a concept that is present in any fight, any scenario, every sport, etc. Also leg kicks and sweeps are trained with high contact at many martial arts gyms. When I was young I trained at an MMA gym where people threw near if not full contact leg kicks. You get used to them and aside from some bruising or soreness the next day injuries are rare... that is why they are used in sports, they slow your opponent down and wear them out in the later rounds so a real knockout strike such as a blow to the head is more likely to work. And foot sweeps... c'mon what a waste of time in almost every instance you could have hit someone instead of foot sweeping them. I agree with you that any smart fighter will keep his hands up.
Brian, liked and subed. Your style and method is clean, simple and effective. Your application of technique and science is on point.
Thanks Nick I appreciate your comment.
I was just watching how handsome you are!! ✨ Confused between should I watch your moves or just watching you! 🙈🙈🙈💞💞💞
😊 thank you
