Interesting Approach

Anyone who's ever seen the TV programme Future Weapons will be familiar with "Mack", the ex-Navy SEAL who hosted it. Here he shows his approach for fast results based on the principles of movement, weapons and targets.

I've done vaguely similar things with girlfriends, travel companions etc., when doing just a few drills to up their percentage of being able to handle themselves by a few points in a very limited amount of time - just present a pad to them and get them to hit it, then build a mini martial art for them based on their natural reactions. However, Mack has this patter down and I think it's an interesting approach.

Here is the clean, shorter version:


For a longer, and better, version, that contains bad language, search for "Navy SEAL "MACK." Civilian Navy SEAL BUDS Training" on youtube.

Obviously, and as you can see on the longer video, this is just a first step, and technical refinement can come afterwards. I do think as a way of thinking, and to shift away from the technique-centric approach (movement and weapons in Mack's concept), it has merit.

I believe, in an ideal world, students would first build some muscle memory for optimum movement and weapons, so that targets are attacked with maximum efficiency, but for a fast introduction for a mixed ability group, I think it is a good approach.

Thoughts?
