How to Weaponize Your Human Machine
Everything is a strike.
Striking, joint breaking, and throwing are all simply facets of the same idea—mass in motion used to do work on the human machine—and so can be seamlessly integrated with one another.
Joint breaking and throwing are really just special cases of striking, and the principles and skills that drive basic striking still apply, leading to a principle-based simplification of so-called “advanced” techniques. To that end, the bulk of the instruction will be through an assembly process—looking at each specific skill in isolation before showing how they are combined through coordination sets.
Coordination sets are grouped by Foundation, Challenge, and Expert levels; they are stacked from striking, to joint breaking, to throwing—so a basic striking sequence is shown, then with an added joint break, and then an added throw on top of that.
Getting Started:
Below you will find the contents of the course.
Each of the additional sections contains one or more videos and text for further study.
1. START by watching the series Introduction
This will give you an overview of the goals and progression of the entire series.
2. WATCH and FOLLOW ALONG with the Target Assembly videos
We recommend you work through the videos in the order they’re presented, from top to bottom, spending as many mat sessions as you need to burn the information in as muscle memory. Don’t be in a hurry—take your time to own it one small piece at a time.
3. WATCH and FOLLOW ALONG with the Coordination Set videos
Each coordination set represents multiple mat sessions—for 25 total. We recommend that you spend an entire session on 1A, another session on 1B, another on 1C, and so on all the way through. This is your best bet to absorb the material. Be sure to refer back to the previous sections (striking, joint breaking, throwing) for details on the new skill highlighted in your current coordination set.
