Being Hit by a Sucker Punch

Sifu Luke Holloway and his Raw Combat Intl. has much to be recommended for, IMNSHO.

Here's his latest youtube clip that deals with being hit by a suckerpunch or grabbed and hit. I like.

Discuss, Gents.

Like the concepts on this video, IE cover and move in when sucker punched and go into attack mode when grabbed and punched. But some of the other stuff on the site seems pretty complicate for combative situations.

I think training for being stunned and/or shocked is supervital and use of dropping power/gravity a crucial part of that. Just grab em and move. ideally locking their joints and getting in a tap into their eyes and then apply eye n throat attacks.

He was quite kung fu and silat traditional but then has gravitated via bouncing to CP and Military training.
But yeah, I agree. Too complex some of it: he is still a little stuck in the subjective trap of having and being able to use very high skill. Us mere mortals may have to go a little muay thai basic* in the heat of it though he has some sweet elbow drills if you look. I like him...
I made a typically harsh crit of this demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUzMtCWnKX4
and as you can see he just laughed me off... oh well. Oops.. I seem to be giving my "real identity" away. Not very ninja nagualist of me. No worries, I can trust you guys, right?


I loved the beat downs he dishes out in this Mil CQC demo https://www.youtube.com/user/TeamWuJin#p/u/27/pEOVMj_vO_0
though again the "attacker"/punchbag was a bit too compliant and soft, just like the anti-stick demo.

* I had a funny awful daydream earlier of reverting to clinch and repeated knees if it got close instead of all my Luke style rapid hands. Oh, the shame.

I agree with what Roadkill said.
Guy moves nicely - smooth and integrated, but I couldn't even get through the stick clip .... best vids of what a real attack with a stick might look like, and options for defense, look at the Dog Brothers stuff. Everything is much more frantic and messy with uncompliant, wriggly adversaries that keep going. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0Zuj5jdY-k
Demos with single event attacks seem to be a problem in general, as there is always 'the next thing' that happens and has to be dealt with also.

Dog Bothers...

Cheers Chaps and Chapette, I find us in agree ment. He can do his stuff but could student do his stuff?
WOOPS! THe 3 sleepin pills i had an hour have just peaked. I will consider tha=is as an auspicious omen and synchronicity.In my training I would also feature being really stunned and grabbing his opponent and using movement/drop/fall to pull victory out of the
monster's jaws by dragging and tripping him down right into throat and eyes and another bonus jackpot spot to hand attacks with a look to pin and strike or simply lock a joint e.g.knee progressing to ankle, I love knee/ankles.

BBut i agree with him, move with cover, elbow points the shots, stick to him and flank him to take your hands to his head. Boom! All over, whethet stupified or not.

Well thaks for the training session. Tomorrow it iwill be on yello so I;ll strart earlier and break every forum recorded I WILL BE IN THE HOUSE!" Only joking, I don;t do synthetic drugs except for now as I am brok and cannabis costs monye... only way to do it. Pain killers on now. G'Night.
