Something so basic that I never filmed it.

This drill set came from Tris Sutrisno, he began studing it when he was 4. I don’t know where his father got it from but it has incredible potential.

 

So Simple:

 

1.      Right foot forward stepping in toward the right. As you do that both hands sweep up, as if brushing against the face, then both hands sweep down as the stepping concludes. As you perform it you have rotated about 90 degrees to the left.

2.      Left foot forward stetting in toward the left. As you do that both hands sweep up, as if brushing against  the face, then both hands sweep down as the stepping concluded. As you perform it you have rotated about 90 degrees to the right.

3.      Left foot forward stetting in toward the left. As you do that both hands sweep up, as if brushing against  the face, then both hands sweep down as the stepping concluded. As you perform it you have rotated about 90 degrees to the right. Then your Right foot forward stepping in toward the right. As you do that both hands sweep up, as if brushing against the face, then both hands sweep down as the stepping concludes. As you perform it you have rotated about 90 degrees to the left. What you have done is drill 2 then drill 1 together.

4.      Left foot forward stetting in toward the left. As you do that both hands sweep up, as if brushing against  the face, then both hands sweep down as the stepping concluded. As you perform it you have rotated about 90 degrees to the right. Then your Right foot forward stepping in toward the right. As you do that both hands sweep up, as if brushing against the face, then both hands sweep down as the stepping concludes. As you perform it you have rotated about 90 degrees to the left. Left foot forward stetting in toward the left. As you do that both hands sweep up, as if brushing against  the back of the head, then both hands sweep down as the stepping concluded. As you perform it you have rotated about 90 degrees to the right.  What you have done is drill 2 then drill 1 then drill 2 together.

5.      Right foot forward stepping in toward the right. As you do that both hands sweep up, as if brushing against the face, then both hands sweep down as the stepping concludes. The left hand concludes at the wrist but the right hand continues to flow down beneath their arm then it becomes an elbow strike into their side beneath their arm. There is one version as you perform it you have rotated about 90 degrees to the left. The other version on the elbow strike you continue to turn your right foot to the rear or 180 degrees away from where you started. In either case you drop to your knees after the elbow strike which becomes a throw.

 

6.      This begins exactly like Drill 1, but after you step in towards their centerline your left foot steps back 180 degrees counter-clockwise.

 

 

Those are the basic motions of the drills but each contains so many variations.

 

While this is Asai the first 3 defences could also be Drills 1, 2 and 3 here.

 

 

 

Drill    1 a.      The two rising hands slash into the opponent face, the left hand on                                rising and the right hand while descending. The right step forward  is                           facing toward the striking opponent center. This is a KO.

            1 b.      This time the stepping right foot steps across the line of attack. The                               ascending then descending hands disrupt the opponent focus, while                              you turn counter-clockwise with the strike. This become a takedown

                        Performed with one continuous inhale to move to take  over their

center.

 

 

 

2 a.      The while the hands rise the right arm moves the attacker attack away from your center. Then the rising left hand slashed to their face

            Then as both hands descend the left moving their face to rotate so

            The descending left hand can apply force for a KO.

2 b.      On the other hand the rising descending left hand can just hit the face

            To make a destabilizing force. The ascending and descending right can end atop the attacking limb, or when moving that limb continue on below. This would be a prelude for drill 3.

 

3           Use of Drill 2 to destabilize the opponent and then continue with Drill 1.  Thus when they have been destabilized you can enter their attack

            Using Drill 1. To finish them.

3 a.      When the conclusion of Drill 2 has the right hand atop their attacking limb, you use the right arm of the two ascending descending hands to attack into their neck. Besides the KO potential this becomes a thyow

3 b.      Then the conclusion of Drill 2 has the right hand stop below their attacking limb, you se the right arm of the two ascending descending hands ot attack into their ribs. This then becomes the initialization of a throw, using that strike to further break their balance, The throw can have the potential of a KO.

 

4.         When done as Drill 2 then Drill 1 then Drill 2 again the first two drills are done softer to destabilize their balance and move them where you wish. At the conclusion of the Drill 1 you have moved them so you are able to enter their attack from behind. Then the left hand rising and descending becomes a slash into their neck for a KO takedown.

 

5 a.      This version starts as Drill 1. The ascending descending ;alms staiking their face to destabilize them. But as you complete the downward strokes you are ended facing toward where their attacking limb in going. Your left hand lightly grasps their attacking wrist while you strike into their ribs with a backward tip of the elbow strike. Use that destabilization to throw them, You simply drop to your knees while grasping their wrist. That creates a force to throw them over your shoulder. Then they flip over on their back on the ground before you.

b.         This version starts like the first version of Drill 5  but on the elbow

            strike back into their ribs your left foot continues to step to the rear.

            Than makes you rotate 180 degrees counter clockwise before you drop

            To your kees. That motion allows you to throw them down as before just in a different direction.

 

6 a.      The opening hand strikes into the face are more to break their balance. Having done so your left hand softly grabs their wrist as the same time your right hand lightly lays atop their biceps. Those two conclusions to the ascending descending palm causes thei center of gravity to their biceps. The initial destabilizing slaps make that easier.

            Then you stepping away with your left causes them to be downed with a layering throw. They flow down to the ground on their back

 

6 b.      The opening hand strikes into the face are more to break their balance. Having done so your left hand softly grabs their wrist as the same time your right hand lightly lays atop their wrist directly behind your left grab Those two conclusions to the ascending descending palm causes thei center of gravity to their wrist. The initial destabilizing slaps make that easier. Then you stepping away with your left causes them to be downed with a layering throw. They flow down to the ground on their back. This version is a more deep destabilization takedown.

 

6 c.      This can be a variation of the a. or b. version. When they are going down your right hand turns over mid takedown, grasps their biceps and forces them over. Thus making the takedown throw end them on their stomach for greater control on the ground.

 

 

On a separate issue one time I noticed what could happen should you have a knife in your left hand. I remarked to Tristan, was this not possible. He agreed that potential was there.

Used this way even a very small knife could be most deadly as it could attack the neck with this motion. Similarily stick of very short stick, or rocks. Bottles, anything being held in the hand become another layer of force enhancer.
