So, what you want to do, the first thing you want to do is learn how to turn yourself. So either you are going to turn this way or you turn this way. So now when he pushes on something unbalanced, he pushes in. There's nothing for him to push on. See, if I turn this way, there's nothing for him to push on. He can only push onto one part of your body instead of pushing onto two parts of your body. So as long as you turn either this way or this way, that's your first defense. Turn this way or this way. So that's the drill. We can just do this. Stay straight. He pushes you. And you don't care, right? He pushes you. Don't put some more force into it. That happens, right? He pushes you. And now he pushes you. You turn. He pushes you. You turn. He pushes you. You turn. See how it redirects the energy just from you turning. So that's the first drill. First of all, it's the turn. Now the next one is we're going to put your hands up like a triangle. So I'm doing to put my hands up like a triangle, like this. So when you're doing that, I'm going to combine it with the turning. So I have my hands up like a triangle. I can turn this way. Either way, so what I'm doing is I'm going to turn, turning, turning. And notice that when I'm turning, I split the triangle. I split the triangle. It comes up. I split the triangle. It comes up. I split the triangle. So I'm going up, turning, and then splitting the triangle. And this is like a high five over here. So I'm doing that, like that. So he's coming in. The hand comes up and split the triangle. And notice how this one here reflects his arm here, and this one hits. If I go this way, same here. This one will reflect this one, and this one will hit. So that's when you encounter a push in the middle of a push, and you have time to react to it. So the next step of this drill is he's going to come from further away, and he's going to give me a harder push so that I don't fall over. No, it's from this side. So this is me doing it the wrong way. Go ahead. That's what happened, right? This deal is then pushed. Have to be doing it the wrong way. Other time, start from two more momentum. You doing the wrong thing? That's what's going to happen. I might go fall over a cliff, or into an oncoming traffic, or into some bunch of spikes that might impel me, so I don't want that to happen. So now, he's going to push, hit this turn, and then hit the block with some chain punches. And even with the helmet, you can feel it, right? So if you're with a partner with a helmet, don't hit as hard as you want, you still want to have control with your hits. So he's coming in. So he's coming in. So that's what you want to do. Slow motion. He's coming in. I come up. I turn and slip. When I slip, one hand pushes back, and he pushes in back. And I follow it up with chain punches, like that. And then I run. You don't want to stay there. Over time, he comes in, I open, come up and slip. I follow up with chain punches. With chain palms, you don't want to be hitting the helmet, but if not, it's going to hurt. So it used to be using chain palms. So that's the thrill for a push that you encounter when you are in the middle of a push. Basically, we're going to show you how to do self-defense against a push that comes early or a push that comes late. Alright, welcome back. So we're going to show you how to see what to do when it first comes early. You can see it early. So he's coming in early. All I want to do is I just get out of the way because I can see it coming. So I need to step to the side. So what I'm doing is stepping to the side. Or stepping to the side. At the same time, I'm guiding, bringing this hand up. So I step to the side, I guide. Step to the side, make sure that my foot, outside foot goes out first, outside foot goes out, and I get out of the way. So you see this line, right? There's a train coming this way. I need to get out of the way of the train. The train coming this way. I need to get out of the way of the train. So if I can see it coming early, I want to get out of the way of the train and see what position I'm in now. If he's coming in early, I need to get out of the way of the train. If I don't get away from the train and try to do it, that's what happens. Let's say I'm just trying to redirect him without moving. Then both of us move. Unless you're bigger than him, but he's bigger than me. So he's got all the momentum, it's hard for me to redirect. But I stay here. I can't redirect just by my arms. I can't do that. So what I need to do is get out of the way of the train. So he pushes this into nothing. Okay? If I do it wrong, that's what happens. If I try to block with my hand, that's what happens. If I try to block with the other hand, that's what happens. If I didn't get out of the way, that's what happens. I'm still in balance. One hand's going like this, the other hand's going like this. Now, the next step is to combine it with a tap. So he's coming in, and then here's your big hit. We go this way, that's the hit. Okay? So out of the way, pull up the chain, or you go, drop, drop. Okay? So we turn. Boom. And big giant swing. Okay? You can knock the guy out. You mess up his neck because it's like that, right? So just be careful when you're training. Okay? Or you can go... Oh! Right? Or you can go the other way. Be coming in. Boom! Bam! And then back to pull back. Listen, run away. Okay? Slow motion. I see you coming. Ooh, get out of the way. Fall. Bam! Bam! Okay? All right, so that's what you do when you see the push coming in early. I can see it coming, so I get out of the way. So remember, this is when you can see the push early. If you are this close and he pushes you, you don't have time to move all the way, then you still have that problem, right? So if you're in the middle of the push, like the first one, I need to split it up, turn, and then control the center. Okay? So stay tuned. Stagnate number three is showing you how to deal with a push when it's too late. You already got pushed. How do you recover from that? So let's go to the next video, I mean the next section, and we're going to show you exactly what to do. Welcome back. Now we're going to show you exactly what to do when you do get pushed, and you don't have time to see it coming. You don't have time to get out of the way. You don't have time to get your hands up to do a defense. So what do you do? So this is what happens when he pushes you. That's the problem, okay? He pushes you. Okay? He's a strong guy. He can push a lot of weight. I'm a strong guy. So you're going to go flying. So what do you do? Okay? You push again. I'm going to turn and drop my weight. So that I'm going to go flying. Okay? So he pushes me. I'm going to go turn either way. I'm going to turn this way and drop my weight. I'm going to turn this way and drop my weight. Okay? Do a squat. Not a full squat. Just a half. Okay? So what you want to do is do this horse stance. Okay? I'm not a home guard. We train this horse stance, right? I'm not a home guard guy but that's what they do. And a lot of comfort when they train this horse stance. So you want to get into this stance. Okay? Body straight. Okay? Your tailbone's tucked in. Knees are bent. Feet are wide. Your knees are out. Okay? Don't stick your ass out like this. Don't lean back. Don't lean forward. Tuck in your tailbone. And straight. So what you want to do? Push comes in. You've got to push. Oh! Then you drop into the stance sideways. Push comes in. You've got to push to ready. Oh! Drop into the stance. You know, exaggerating, but that's what happens. So, once again, the wrong way is if I stay squared with him, that makes my energy go backwards, right? If I turn my body and drop it at least I'm still here. I don't go flying backwards. Okay? So go again. Okay? At least I'm still balanced. Okay? Okay? Okay? So that's the job. He's pushed you. Let him push you. Then drop into the turn. Make sure you turn. And drop into the horse stance. Drop into the horse stance. Okay? So that's the first field. The second part is now we want to do a counter-attack. Okay? So it's low motion. He's going to push me. I'm going to turn and then I'm going to do a straight punch back at him. Okay? So turn straight punch back at him. Okay? Good turn. Straight palm back at him. Let's just turn straight palm back. The practice is going both directions. You can just turn left or turn right. But remember this is too late. You already got pushed. So you want to get balanced and then attack back. Okay? So attack back. So that's what you want to do. Okay? So that's the drill. And how you can train against pushes. Pushes that you can see coming from far away. You have time to react. You have time to get out of the way. Or you beat the bush in the middle. Or it's too late. You got pushed in how to recover and how to counter back.
