6/12/16: footwork and sweeps, boxing defensive hands and lock flow.

FOOTWORK and SWEEPING
Off the jab or cross – parry and eye jab, step in shin to shin and pressure the knee, this will force his weight back and allow you to sweep the lead leg.

Off the lead straight then rear straight – cover the first shot then parry into salute and arm break, push that arm across his centre and step the outside of his foot. In this position, he will be incredibly unbalanced and will either go to the floor or step back. Sweep the front leg.

Then as a continual drill – jab left and counter with the sweep, jab then cross followed by the counter, right lead and counter, right lead and left cross then counter.

BOXING DEFENCES (rear foot against the wall)
1: HALF GUARD/WINDSCREEN WIPER - shoulder forward, left elbow pinned to the side guarding the lower part of the body, rear upper hand is 'windscreen wiping'. This was used to defend against the low line and high line attacks. The upper hand stays active.

2: 2 PILLARS/REVLOVING DOOR - elbows parallel with shoulders, forearms up but forward of elbow vertical line, covering the centreline with constant lateral motion so they need to time your motion rather than you reacting to their attacks. This was used against high line attacks – straight and round.

3: CRAZY MONKEY - shoulders up, chin down, protective shell with the forearms continuously swimming to cover the head. This was used against the 5 second chaotic barrage.

4: LONG GUARD: High elbows, long arm Thai style, almost the lazy man style and being like a wet blanket on their arms and attacks. When the opportunity arises, enter for the clinch.

Mixing them all up.

LOCKFLOW
1-6 with the main focus on 5 and 6. (James and Charlie were working up to 16)

Steve also talked about this flow as a counter to their counters as opposed to locks in isolation. If we straighten the arm, they will probably try to bend it to counter and vice versa. Each of locks in the series are counters to the one you have just applied.

From the number 4:
5: keep hold of the thumb, slap in inner elbow as you step in to him, rotate the palm towards him and the back of his hand is supported by your forearm, isolate his elbow under your armpit with his forearm vertical.
6: bring his forearm to 45 degrees with elbow below the wrist – this will stop the elow lift up to pop out for the escape, ensure your elbow is under his side ribs, use your other hand to support the wrist lock.
