Self Defence Is Like Window Cleaning

Hi My Friend

Over the years I have had countless, well 8714 questions actually, over the best way to train for Pressure Points.

One of my best answers is to use the old political trick of -  answer a question with a question ... and here it is.

''If you wanted to be the best Window Cleaner in the World... what would you do?''

The vast majority answer with ''Clean windows''.

And then it dawns on them what they need to do...

I then say things along the lines of...

Start with small easy to clean windows on the ground floor... with low to no risk of injury.

Gradually build up till you can abseil down ridiculously tall buildings in a gale force wind and clean any window you want.

It is the same with all your Martial Arts / Self Defense training... you have to start somewhere... you have to get that foundation right.

That is why we start with all the Players etc that you need in order to really make Pressure Points work.

Pressure Points then become a natural part of what you are doing... because all the Players are in place.

How to do this?

It is, unfortunately, the same old answer... here is another question as an answer...

''If you want to get really good at something... what would you do?''

Answer is usually.. ''Practice it till I got really good at it''

I make no excuse for (and indeed never have) that this is a learned skill.

You have to train, drill, practice, learn, test, pressure test... just like you do ( or should be doing) with the rest of your training.

I have a mentoring client with me at the moment... who has transformed his (already good) abilities in a few short weeks.

Movement, distance, timing ability to hit on the move, get in apply, apply and hit on the way in/out... keep covered etc are so so much better.

The client of today would destroy the one that arrived day one - and we still have another 1.5 weeks to go!

That is down to one simple aspect of training... drilling in the correct way.

It is pointless doing drills that bear no resemblance to what you are trying to achieve... unless you just want to get good at a drill.

Drilling has to have meaning and purpose.

Remember: All my courses have everything broken down into little step by step lessons... there is  a BIG reason for this.

You need to drill these ''little moments in time'' to understand how to apply them for real.

It is pointless drilling a jab a million times a year if there is no thought process and situational ''play'' when drilling.

Same with all the basics you do in Karate for example... ''most'' schools drill up and down for ages... with no real purpose.

They say they are looking to perfect the technique... well here is the news... you will never be perfect...

You should be trying to be perfectly able to APPLY the technique... that is what you should be drilling.

Try it in you next session... take something simple like a jab...

• Drill trying to land it in various situiations
• Drill trying to defend it in various situations

If you are a grappler... then try evading the jab and getting to your takedown for example

If you are a striker... then try evading the jab and getting to your best strike

REMEMBER: The jab returns at the same speed it goes out... and there is normally another shot coming... so your defense needs to be done in the jab timeframe and not longer.

This is an EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ASPECT of drilling... that you understand fully what the drill is for and how it would apply for real.

Start light and slow... build confidence and ability and then speed it up... you will be amazed at the results.

To Busy To Train?

Hi My Friend
How many times have we heard or even used that old excuse?
I am just too busy to train!
When I hear that I often ask a few simple little questions:
Did you watch much TV this week? - Then you are not too busy to train
Did you have a rest on the sofa this week? - Then you are not too busy to train
Did you surf the web much this week? - Then you are not too busy to train
I could use the following these mext few days - I am moving house - which I am.
HOWEVER - I will still be training today and tomorrow and on Thursday... which are the days for the move.
You can make time if you really want to - skip a meal - I have.
Don't watch TV till you have trained - I don't.
Don't lay on the sofa till you have trained - BANNED in my house :-)
I know that we all lead very busy lives and have many commitments - but you should allow yourself time to just get your mind right... and your body.. It is the only one we have... so we should look after it!
Give it what it wants - proper food, proper training and proper sleep - the rest will kinda just fall into place.
That's my 2p / 2 cents worth :-)
Till next time

Running Time: 53 mins approx

Featuring: Russell Stutely
John Andrews

Production Quality: Video quality is good with demonstrations from various angles and some points zoomed in to clarify small details that make the locks/strike effective

Intro: Russell Stutely introduces Master John Andrews who performs all the techniques in this DVD. John Andrews currently holds the rank of 4th Dan in Ju Jitsu and 5th Dan in OCFM & is OCFM’s National Grappling Coach


LEARN MORE ABOUT PRESSURE POINTS BLACK 6 DVD SET


Main section:
The first technique shown is a double palm (BAR technique) to enter against an aggressive assailant followed by a forearm to the neck leading to a standing neck crank,a simple effective technique
The next move is against a double wrist grab ,although I don’t think this method of attack is as common as people make out ,he does point out that you should start your counter as soon as possible and not let them lock on their attack. This technique is a wrist lock but is made effective by a number of strikes en route to the lock.
A Wicked arm bar against a double lapel grab is shown next this is a very good lock and should be practised with great care
A few more standing attack counters are shown before moving onto a section dealing with take down attempts
Punch defences are demonstrated ,there are pressure points used but they are always coupled with striking so you aren’t left hanging fiddling about trying to find a tiny point. You are shown how to easily hit numerous points at once and follow ups if you miss or the strike/lock is ineffective
Take downs and throws are shown followed by a lock or strike to incapacitate an assailant ,fine points are emphasised which makes all the difference in making these moves effective,including how to best use your strength and safety considerations
Next up is a section showing various judo/bjj control positions on the ground again with tweaks and variations to increase their effectiveness. A drill is shown to help you learn how to flow from position to position and control your opponent
Escaping guard is shown,leading to ankle locks and some good detail on neck cranks
The DVD finishes with a section on arm bars and neck cranks from mount


OVERALL: A pretty good DVD plenty of content and just enough repitition without wasting space. Street and sport applications are shown and there is something for everyone. As with all instructional DVDS I have found some techniques just don't work for some people and certainly won't work if you dont train them. Train hard train safe 9/10 (experienced grappler 7/10)

REMEMBER: This is only one DVD from PRESSURE POINTS BLACK 6 DVD SET. The full set is 6 DVDs with an approximate running time of 5 hours 20 minutes.

The Masters Speak! Russell Stutely and The Secret Sessions

Many people have been sending in questions about this incredible Package deal, The Secret Sessions.

Here are a few that have been answered for you... Russell Stutely speaks

-------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Fellow Warrior,

The "Secret Sessions" program is a huge success!

THANK YOU!

And, the feedback is already starting to come in:

Martial Artists from beginners to advanced Black Belts
and Street Combat vets all agree:

This Stuff Works!

Many of you also had questions, so here are the answers:

QUESTION #1: Who is Rick Moneymaker?

ANSWER: Rick is one of the Greatest and Foremost Martial Artists living today.
His bio and a huge list of credentials is on the Secret Sessions page here:

www.russellstutely.com


QUESTION #2: What is actually in "The Secret Sessions" and what's it all all about?

ANSWER: Rick Moneymaker and a small group of dedicated Martial Artists founded
Dragon Society International in the early 90's because we knew that there was far more
to the martial arts than Block , Kick and Punch. We set out to uncover the true hidden
secrets of the Martial Arts world.

That's what we uncovered in the Secret Sessions DVD series!

You see, we've all experienced moments when our techniques worked perfectly, and also
when they didn't work well. So we set out to break down EVERYTechnique/Movement to
its smallest part and catalog the “Players to the game” that either made it work great, or
not so good.

Every Martial Artist has experienced a technique when he was in the “sweet spot” and
everything went perfectly and powerfully. So we started a list and applied the “players
of the game list” to every technique we did.

Every time we did this the Techniques HURT more, every “Player” added to the PAIN
or LETHALITY of the technique. The Secret Sessions show you these phenomenal
discoveries!


QUESTION #3: What are the Free Bonuses that come with The Secret Sessions?

ANSWER: When you order The Secret Sessions for 197.00, you get over $400.00 in
Free Bonuses (Yes, you get more than twice the value of the Secret Sessions alone!)
They are:

Bonus #1: 2 x Players DVDs from Russell Stutely - (normally $59.90)

Bonus #2: DVD Downloads: Locks and Takedowns, Chokes and Strangles - (normally
$39.90)

Bonus #3: Book Download: Karate: The Hidden Secrets - (normally $19.95)

Bonus #4: The Pressure Point Database! (normally $300.00)

The Free Bonuses and discount price are only available for 3 more days, then they're
off the table Forever.

Pressure Points - How To Learn Part 5

Pressure Points

- How To Learn Part 5

BY RUSSELL STUTELY

I get asked this question all the time "What are your favourite Points?". Well apart from the obvious "Whatever I can hit at that moment in time" I do have a few that I just "gel" with.
 
I will give you the point name and then you can look them up if you wish:
St5
GB20
St4
LI18
St25
Lv/GB Crossing
GB31
Sp6
Sp9/10
St12
 
Now... what I would do if I was starting again in learning points and armed with the above information... is TRAIN those Points like mad...Find out where they are... see if I can attack them in training. Find different ways to utilise them.
 
Hit them, grind my elbow into them, grind my thumb upto the 2nd knuckle into them.
 
Basically train them till I "owned them".
 
Make sure that I knew what they did, how they worked and why they worked.
 
Just doing that with the above Points will give you a TON of great training time.
 
Remember to use the safety protocols previously mentioned.

Pressure Points - How To Learn Part 4

Pressure Points

- How To Learn Part 4

BY RUSSELL STUTELY

Well.. Now is the time to move onto the "meat and potatoes" of how to use and make Pressure Points work for you!
 
Let's assume that you have read and understood the previous 3 articles and that you accomplished the following:
 
Learnt and understand Balance
Learnt and understood Power Generation
Learnt and understood how to dissect techniques
 
Now.. assuming that you have done the above, we can move onto the Points themselves and start to learn HOW to apply them.
 
It really is this simple... pick some points to practice.. a few on the arm , torso and head to start with.
 
It does not matter which ones.. but I would advise the following:
 
Arm: L5 / LI10/11
Torso: St25 / Lv/GB Crossing
Head: GB20
 
Now move back to your technique analysis and see where and when any / all of these points become available to you! Start S-L-O-W-L-Y and A-N-A-L-Y-S-E correctly.
 
When a point is available.. HIT IT.. .BUT START LIGHT.. It is better to get NO REACTION then hit too hard and hurt your training partner.
 
When you strike the point.. you MUST ensure that your strike has penetration.. simply hitting the surface of the skin WILL NOT WORK... Doing this will give the usual results that MOST people get... i.e a mixed reaction.
 
Now.. onto the safety parameters:
 
Your training partner and you will have a numbering system - from 0 to 10
0 = nothing, no pain, no reaction
10= you hit me far too hard you stupid ?)*ing idiot.. now its my turn
 
Start around the 2-4 area and G-R-A-D-U-A-L-L-Y build up to 7-8
 
Now.. REMEMBER this... the numbering system is for the person being HIT... not for the hitter. Your no 5 could be your training partners 10 and vice versa.. so ALWAYS start light and then together you will find a power level that you can work at.
 
By ensuring that you keep to this safety protocol you can train points longer and more rapidly than crashing strikes home to see the effect.
 
Once you have done this with all your techniques and started slowly and built up to a decent pace, we can then move onto making the points EVEN MORE effective and also onto pressure testing what you have done so far

Pressure Points - How To Learn Part 3

Pressure Points - How To Learn Part 3

BY RUSSELL STUTELY

OK... I think I have made my point about the importance of Balance and how you should understand this subject inside out, upside down and the wrong way round... as they say!
 
The next area that you need to understand BEFORE you even start to learn Pressure Points is Power Generation or as we call it Waveforms.
 
I often get asked this question:"I see people on the net doing light touch K.O's, so why do I need to learn to hit hard to use Pressure Point's?"
 
There is a simple and easy answer to this:
 
Most of those clips are fake in one way or another
The genuine ones are DEMO'S
 
So, we can ignore the fake ones.. Onto the genuine ones... they are DEMO'S.
 
This means that they are demonstrations of what CAN be achieved... there is NO animosity in any attack etc etc. This is the reason they can go so light and make it work.
 
Once you start to up the aggression, speed and ferocity of the attack, so you must up those same qualities in the defence. This is where there is a real danger of doing too much damage... which would bring us onto a another area.. how to train Points correctly and safely.. which I will cover over the coming weeks.
 
This is the EXACT reason why we need to be able to hit like a freight train on steroids...We MUST have real stopping power in all our strikes. We MUST be able to hit that hard that it does not matter if we "miss" the point!



LEARN MORE ABOUT THE POWER BLACK 6 DVD SET WHICH WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO HIT HARD AND HOW TO KNOCK SOME ONE OUT WITH PRESSURE POINTS


 
I like to put it this way... If in a fight I see an opportunity to strike St5 on the Jaw... I want to hit that point so hard that I snap the jaw in half... if I hit the point great.. job more effective.. If I miss the point.. so what? I am still hitting really f$%^ing hard.. so wherever I land my shot should hurt!
 
What Are Waveforms?
They are NOT strikes
A waveform is a whole body movement that MASSIVELY increases the efficiency and effectiveness of what you are doing
It is a method to generate as much of your bodyweight through a given technique as possible
 
It MUST ALSO be understood that this should not be at the detriment of other areas such as, your own balance, ability to move, ability to defend etc.
 
Out and out power is great and obviously works.. but only when you have made that moment in time to land your shot... unless you happen to just connect of course!
 
So, the waveform movement can be applied to each and every technique, from each and every art to increase the effectiveness of that technique. The waveform is nothing more than a study of the planes and ranges of movement as applied to the Martial Arts, in the context of power generation, efficiency of movement, speed and ease of operation.
 
When I teach this area of what we do.. I can usually DOUBLE everyones striking impact in under ONE hour.. and in fact proved this live on DVD for New Approach Publishing (NAP) during the filming for Power Black 6 DVD Set
 


Don't worry.. we will move onto Pressure Point stuff next time! Promise!

Pressure Points - How To Learn Part 2

Pressure Points - How To Learn Part 2

BY RUSSELL STUTELY
 
OK.. how does learning Balance Points help with learning Pressure Points?
 
This is a bit like one of those "trust me" times. There are certain parts of the Martial Arts that we REALLY need to understand BEFORE we start to learn Pressure Points. Balance Points is one of those aspects that MUST be understood to gain the most benefit from Points.
 
Not only to gain the most benefit, but also to enable you to learn and apply the Pressure Points at a VASTLY increased rate.
 
BP's are one of those aspects that seem to be most overlooked by most Martial Artists... It is ALWAYS an eye opener when these areas of the body are shown, explained and trained. Those from a grappling background for example are able to make use of them immediately in their throws and takedowns... and then on the ground as well... especially once they understand the "principles" upon which this is based.
 
I like to quote these lines in order to show the MASSIVE importance of Balance:


BALANCE POINTS


 
"If your opponent is completely OFF-Balance and using all their strength and ability to try to regain it.. meanwhile you are IN distance and completely IN-Balance you are in a position to hit them with everything you have got. Do you think this has increased your chances of success?"
 
"If you rob your opponent of his balance, it does not matter how big or strong he is at that moment in time... he will be using all his strength to try and re-gain his balance"
 
"If you have someone on the point of Balance you can put them down or unbalance them with the strength of one finger"
 
Hopefully you can now appreciate the importance of Balance?
 
Soon I will move onto the next area that should be understood BEFORE you start to learn PP's

Pressure Points - How To Learn Part 1

Pressure points

- How To Learn Part 1

BY RUSSELL STUTELY

OK.. How to learn Pressure Points correctly?
 
This is a biggie... so will be answered in several parts
 
The first thing is to gain an understanding of how the body works from a Martial Arts perspective.
 
This does not mean that you need to know the names of points or even the names of major muscle groups etc.. it would of course help if you started to learn them as you go along.
 
First of all... whatever art you practice... take your best / favourite technique and really get to grips with it.. really understand it.. break it down into its constituent parts.
 
This means that you must analyse it to death... UNDERSTAND what every part of your body is doing to ensure the correct application of that technique. For a simple "jab" as an example.. you MUST know what your weight distribution is, how your feet are positioned, where you "push off" into the floor, how your body aligns, any "extra" movement that should not be there... where the correct power line of delivery is.. how you are balanced, how you keep your defenses,... the relationship between your shoulders, hips and ankles ... and MUCH more.
 
Then when you can break this down and understand it.. you know how to "re-build" the technique to make it more effective. Then and only then do you start to add in the Points... unless you have great technique to start with of course!
 
This sounds like a MAMMOTH journey if you are supposed to do this with EVERY technique?? Well.. it is not as long as it sounds... do this exercise with 4/5 techniques and you will begin to REALLY understand how to break down a technique... how to make it better.

Then you will be able to do this with any technique... THEN we can begin to add the points. I ALWAYS teach people
BALANCE POINTS
first.. understand how the body is balanced from both your and your opponents perspective and you will automatically begin to break down technique.

Just this exercise alone will dramatically improve your Martial Arts and Self Defense skills. Hope that helps
