These
are my current notes for the upcoming Modern Antagonistics workshop,
'Bartitsu and Defense Dans La Rue: MMA for the Street'.
This 3 hour seminar will deal only with the fighting aspect of Self Defence; the wide and complex area of 'Personal Security and Self Protection' is one that needs to be dealt with and geared to specific individuals needs, and cannot be generalised for a short course.
EVERYTHING I'll be sharing will be based on the methods recorded in the original texts from these arts, and I can guarantee that the greater part of the material is stuff that I have used to survive, escape and WIN fights and confrontations dozens and dozens of times (I used to be a naughty boy!).
The remainder is solid, proven boxing, wrestling and savate etc. that I and thousands of others have used and continue to use against non-compliant opponents the world over.
A small part of the course- namely that dealing with 'street' weapons- is a mixture of original Bartitsu and DDLR source material, my own experiences using and seeing, first hand, weapons used in real assaults, extensive study of footage of real attacks and the results, and hard pressure testing in training scenarios; where the person playing the 'criminal' really wants to f**k my technique up and overcome me; not just go limp and let the move work!

People are welcome to come dressed as Sherlock Holmes or Phileas Fogg if they wish, but it's not compulsory! Emoticono wink ha ha

ROUGH LESSON PLAN
'SITUATIONAL CONTROL, ELUSIVE/LEADING MOVEMENT THEN PRE-EMPTIVE ACTION
(ESCAPE, PUNCH/PALM, ELBOW, HEAD BUTT OR KICKS- depending on context. BACKHAND HAMMERFIST TO FLANKING CRIMINALS)
FLANKING AT STRIKING RANGE
ANGLING OFF AND/OR SLIPPING OUTSIDE THE OPPONENT- THEN RUN AWAY/CROSS/ELBOW/CHASSE/GRAB AND SCRAG/HAMMERFIST - depending on position and circumstance.
ARM DRAG, DUCK UNDERS, RAGGING OPPONENT TO FLANK THEM
MOVEMENT, ATTACK AND ESCAPE AMONGST MULTIPLES
(BURSTING THROUGH, STACKING THEM UP, USE OF ENVIRONMENT)
SNAP DOWNS, SCRAG TAKEDOWNS, 'CRUDE' SWEEPS
COVERS AND GUARDS (AS AN OFFENSIVE DEFENCE) AND 'COUNTER AMBUSH'
ANTI-GRAPPLING
FIGHTING BACK UP FROM THE FLOOR
USE OF, AND DEFENCE AGAINST, IMPROVISED/EXPEDIENT WEAPONS'
This will be a pretty unique insight into my new project, and a dose of reality for those who appreciate such a thing.
Having put a rough lesson plan up there, people are free to ignore, criticise, steal or experiment/improve any of it! Emoticono wink
Peace.
