Martial Arts videos and instructionals

[Comrade Marcel]

Hopefully this thread will become a list of martial arts videos and instructionals documents, etc. and someone can pin this thread. Post links here to either videos, or books/articles that are useful for someone to learn from. So don't post a video of your favourite UFC fighter's highlites or anything like that. It can be on youtube, goolgevideo, a torrent or whatever.

Rather than fill this thread up with posts, msg me the video/document lcationso I can add it at the top of the thread, and instead post comments/questions/etc in the thread.

Thanks!

Kid boxing

I found for the kids a good way to teach them some self-defence and fighting skills that will work against other kids of the same strength is to get very basic but also repetitive. The key is to insure the drills are easy, and repetitive enough that they will learn and improve on their skills overtime, every time.

The basic aspect is simply to start out by teaching them "boxing".

Basic punches to start with are first by number. Don't go past number four, and instead give names to other punches so it sticks in their head better and doesn't confuse them.

The lead hand is the left with all my kids since they are right handed, but later on I intend to teach them skills with both leads

1.) basic jab with the lead hand

2.) basic jab with power hand (I differentiate this from a cross because it is more of a short and faster "jab"

multiple hits / combinations with 1 and 2 is called peppering. To start / warm-ups we just do 1s and 2s in the air... for example:

1, 2, 1
1, 1, 2
1,2,2,1
1,1,2,1,2

I won't go over a 5 hit combinations to keep it simple. Start with 1 or two hits and move up. Gradually increase the speed. Stop and nicely correct any mistakes, friendly and joking manner is better than a strict approach. It should be fun for kids and relaxed, not too serious or they will dread rather than look forward to training

then add more...

3.) "power hit" with the rear hand.

This is easy to explain to the kids as different from #2 because you just tell them one is meant for speed, and the other power. The challenge is to teach them how to keep their guard up, keep brining the punches straight back and not leave the arm out, and how to get power into the punches.

Introduce other punches...

Left/right hooks
Left/Right uppercuts
left/right bodyshots

Finally the "lead cross" will be punch #4, but it's sort of confusing to teach them this one because it's hard to differentiate it from the jab, also they need to learn the foot positioning to get enough power into it.

Drills:
1.) Get them to punch your hand or pad, telling them which punch, increase the speed.
2.) Get them to throw out combos well the other child blocks (show them how to block various punches)
3.) Get them to hit pads for power training
4.) Variations of sparring (one kid blocking only, then add movement, etc.)
5.) Allow them to free spar with each other, light competition, and let them eventually integrate the techniques on their own (gloves should be worn)
6.) Let them spar heavier when/if you get them protective gear; atleast gloves and head protection, if possible a face guard as kids get hit in the nose a lot, mouth piece is an extra plus)

rewards for good participation, condition to take hits and lots of fun!

[Comrade Marcel]

Basic H2H concepts and revolutionary activism... (this is based on a first lesson taught to some comrades in order to introduce them to basic concepts)

1.) Explanation of the need for martial way and self defense with revolutionary activism

-Drills-

1.) Warm ups
-Explanation of breathing: In through the nose, out through the mouth... why it's important, how it is done properly and why it should be constant
-Stretches:
-- Neck - roll the head in circular motion, but not all the way back (do not grind vertebrae)
-- Arms - start moving shoulders, rotating both directions with breathing, move the arms from the shoulder down, next moved the arms from the elbow down, next rotate the wrists, stretch and move the fingers, constant breathing.
-- Stretch back - reach out your arms straight, keep your legs straight and together; reach down and touch the toes (or as far as possible), Repeat five, ten times or more.
-- Hips - rotate the hips, if possible squat well rotating, try to keep the back straight and body relaxed
-- Move the legs in circular motions, start from the top and move down to rotating the ankles.

These short exercises will relax and loosen the body enough for a light workout

more breathing...

--Walk in circle, breathing with steps (one step in, one step out...) and progress up to ten steps. For an extra challenge keep the arms out straight. Once up to ten, start running and bring the steps back down to one in, one out... relax arms.

--Lie down, regain breath. Start tensing up different parts of the body. Breathe in to create tension, breathe out release it. Then try the opposite way, try with all parts of the body (left, right, legs, whole body, etc.)

--Ten leg raises, the last one bring the legs back all the way as far as possible and hold it. Use short breathes and breath through nose only if necessary.

--Ten push ups, with breathing

--Ten squats, with breathing

--Ten sit ups, with breathing

-- Lay down on stomach, regain breath

2.) Stances
Overview of different stances and their advantages and disadvantages. Why more closed stances cause tension but protect well others protect less but allow looseness and more mobility, stances better for kicking, punching, etc. squared vs. other.

-- get into partners. one partner pick a stance. the other imagine how they would attack the persyn then show them slowly. repeat back and forth for a few minutes

-- explanation of why "stanceless" approach is good to practice for real life situations and why it is also advantageous for multiple attacker situations

3.) Punches
explanation of the traditional, alternative and eccentric approaches to punching...

--Jab, cross, hooks, uppercut, wing tsun style punching,linear, wide, etc
--try out punching on pads if available

4.) Sparring
Playful, non-competitive Systema style sparring. Be experimental and have fun.

5.) Crazy Monkey
Introduce the CM stance... great for defense
--Blocking with the elbows
--Crouching, sprawling, defense against the shoot
--Shooting

6.) Grappling
Basic idea of grappling... explanation of concepts and approaches - the "aiki" approach
--Clutch and different positions to be in it
--The proper "plumm" and using it to knee the face of your opponent
--BJJ "closing the gap" approach: use this drill to show how easy it is to get into the clutch/grappling situation... use a punch or a kick to close the gap. Even getting hit is not bad

7.) Ground
Falling and rolling, wrestling
--Learn the three levels and ways to roll
--fall and hit the ground softly and correctly
--1on1 wrestling: emphasis relaxation, control - mention basic positions (guard, mount, side control, half guard...)
--push-ups
--mass wrestling

===finish with circle discussion

[Comrade Marcel]

Since some comrades were discussing knife Vs. gun in the martial arts thread, here is an interesting video, and a PDF file which takes a look at this issue.

Finally some good input on the subject!

[SilverA]

I have several VHS tapes, from the early 90's created by ex-navy seals and marines. It teaches a wide range of combat, but as I said, they are VHS tapes. How would I go about getting those online for people to see, or should I just start copying them onto VHS and try distributing them like a 'zine?

[Whitten]

Great resources, good work. I've been interested in learning Systema, I've been hoping to start learning it after I move in about a year, no instructors local to me.

Would that be either LINE cobatives or SCARS? If it's SCARS I have a few of them on DVD that I could torrent.

If it's LINE, I'd like to see them.

To get videos from VHS, there is a few ways. You could:

a.) Take it to a place that does VHS to DVD. Generally this will cost anywhere from $10 to $20 per tape however. After you have it on DVD, just rip the DVD to AVI.

b.) Get a DVD-R set-top recorder, hook your VCR up to it. (I think you can get them for as little as $100 these days)

c.) Get a video caputure card for your computer, grab the video to a digital format.

Good luck!

Hey, go here and check:

http://www.russianmartialart.com/main.php?page=affiliates

If there are no schools, you could try to link up with a study group/partner (the advantage of these is usually you don't pay $):

http://www.russianmartialart.com/main.php?page=partners

If you still can't find anything, I guess you can try videos, but that's only going to take you so far and you need a partner as dedicated as you to train with.

Otherwise, look into learning something else in until you can access a Systema instructor.

[ahab]

right on! I love this thread, I've been combantant training for 7 months now and from personal experience the, shit really helps

[loveme4whoiam]

I've just spent 30 minutes watching the collected Bill Wolfe links, and really want to look into Defendo. Would you (Marcel or anyone else) recommend getting the collection of CORE instructional DVDs? If so, any idea if I can get them for free or, at least, cheaper than the website price?

Also, I've just started running as a beginner to getting back my physical fitness and stamina - would you recommend a certain routine outside of a gym that would help with both boosting my stamina and general self-defence ability?

[Comrade Marcel]

I wouldn't recommend any videos alone, at all. And especially if you really can't afford them, because you would be much better off paying for instruction in something else. But you can find some videos on torrents, and I'll post some links soon.
