What are we commenting on?

yes, i too would love to watch. BUT, we need to actually SEE the video

hahaha! Adam you divvy

tried searching for you on utube but got nothing mate sozrry

it was very late when I finished fiddling about with it.

Adam, this is an excellent drill, i have done this drill myself in scinario training, and as the suited man attacks with full on punches (wearing boxing gloves) all you can do is grab him and try and compose yourself as quick as possible.

It is a horrible feeling and you are pretty much defencless for a few seconds.

next time we do it I want to try one person surrounded by people wearing focus mitts. they'll do the 10 spins and while they are I'll signal one of the feeders that it'll be them that steps forward and clouts the "Dizzy Boxer"

in two sessions time I'm going to be putting on a head guard and getting KTFO.
Bring it on

the tool to embed clips like I did above seems to be playing up. This is a funny edit one of the girls did of the first clip

good stuff man!.....we do this same drill but instead of standing straight upand pointing at the sky, you bend over at the waste and point to the ground......i have some sort of vertigo issue and this drill REALLY fucks me up.....ever since i was a kid i have had this issue.....i can only do this drill like 2-3 times and then im done

you're right, pointing down is even worse, but I want people dizzy, not smashing into walls

What I've got is about a dozen really nice people. What I've got to do is find the inner bad ass and harness it.
I'm thinking about the "unleash the monster" type drill I want to to in a couple of sessions time. I'm happy to take some suggestions with this. This is how I see it running in my head.

I'll start off being the bad guy, but I'll expect some of my senior grades to take a few for the team.
I'll be wearing a helmet, groin guard and boxing gloves,
They will be wearing MMA gloves only.
I'll give a shove to start the drill, maybe with a bit of verbal.
from that point their fence will go up and they'll be free to move where they want.
when I feel the range is there, I'll throw a big right haymaker with full intention of landing it.
For the purposes of this drill I'm happy with them knowing what's coming. The purpose of the drill is to get them to go animal. I'm not to worried if the stimulus is a bit scripted.
When I throw my shot that's their trigger to go, and I mean fucking GO.
My partner / Guvnor will be on hand to say break when he feels they truly finished me off.
I'm looking for a cover and aimed first shot, or even better, beat me to the punch, followed by a big flurry, takedown (if not dropped by strikes) and continued finishing moves until told to stop.

I'll be asking them if they mind me sharing video of the results.
Really looking forward to it, but I know some of the nicer ones will dread it. That's why I'm giving them notice. I want there to be a build up of adrenalin before the session.

nice. looks like you have a great club. i never did that drill. probably because i too, like coktail, have that vertigo thing. i used to do a fun one
where you stagger folks along the expanse of the room. they have to walk past each one and mildly engage--didn't always have adequate pads
so it was fast and controled kinda-like. i like that drill you did. you think anyone will call my bluff and ask me to demonstrate the spinning one. the stagger thing--i'm often unclear in my writing, is like a guy/gal in the center walking along through a gauntlet. i like doing stations like a boxing gym where all have something to do, then time is called and they rotate. anyway, it gives me something else to include. if i can get some students again.
