Cuffing, Maulers, Kissing Knees, Cranks & Grip-Equalization for Tomahawk, Big-Knife, Battle-Axe, & Bare Fists By Mark Hatmaker

 


The offered video shows the kind of detail we dive into on each and every volume of RAW/The Black Box Project.

 

This video covers sportive catching, old school catches, adjustments for street, and lastly loaded catching for more efficient injury.

 

Black Projecteers were privy to this material months ago.

 

For a sneak peek at the newest volume of The Black Box Project [Black Box 9] I offer the complete syllabus below—with zero freebie video from the volume. Pony-Uppers will have access to that detailed diabolicalness.

The Street Dentistry Parlor

Cuffing, Inside Corkscrews & Maulers

·        Catching/Knuckle-Busting Over Cuffing vs. Straights—Why?

·        But…if Hands Are Cheated to the Outside, We’ll Need Answers

·        The New School Outside Parry

·        The Un-Wisdom of the Elbow-Hinge aka Ball & Socket Parry

·        This is why we do The Old-Timer’s Cuff

·        The Cuff Target

·        The Striking Surface

·        The Mechanical Wisdom of the Turnover

o   Same Power

o   Smart Defensive Position

·        Cuffs Set-Up 1-for-1 Inside Corkscrews

·        We’ve not discussed saving the hands yet, so…

·        Even better, Cuffs Set-Up Maulers

·        Loaded Cuffs, Corkscrews & Maulers

Upright Scufflin’ Hellaciousness w/ Neck-Breakin’

Striking from the Single-Underhook/Crank Control & Neck-Breakin’

o   [We build on the Street Single-Underhook detailed on RAW 219-221/Black Box 6-8]

o   Head Posts to Hand-Posts

o   Adding “The Rumple” [Cauliflowered ones such as myself haaate this bit of simplicity.]

o   The Thorough-Brace Knee

o   Returning to the Single-Underhook

o   “Rumpling” to the “Bumpy Slide” to Crank Control

o   The “Kissing” Knee [Quick, simple & malicious.]

o   The Proper Way to Bar & Chancery Drop, no ifs, ands, or buts.

o   Two Grounded Neck-Breakers that you can hit on asphalt with you being none the worse for wear.

o   Two Standing Neck-Breakers for the Ground Adverse

o   Why we grip as we do? Because we see the horizon of the next whipping brace of cranks if these haven’t deadened yet.

Vicious Weaponry: Grip Equalization for Tomahawk, Big Knife, Battle-Axe, & Bare-Knuckle

This is not grip-strengthening, strength will increase as an adjunct to these exercises, but grip as pure grip work in an old school manner will be addressed separately down the road.

o   What is grip-equalization?

o   Why the old-timers considered it wise.

o   Grip equalization as re-hab/pre-hab for tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, lifter’s elbow and other like maladies.

o   If you experience any elbow pain, likely it is a result of long-term grip-inequalities aided and abetted by inertia.

o   Two Tests for Equal Grip

o   The Fist

o   The Monkey

Why Stretching/Mobility Exercises & Poorly Targeted Massage will exacerbate problems.

o   Why we must kill exercise speed.

o   Your tomahawk and combat inertia will provide the speed; the exercises provide the stable base to build the painless speed.

o   6 Exercises to Equalize Grip

o   The Straight Turn

o   The Bent Turn

o   The Thumb Lift

o   The Pinkie Lift

o   The Loaded Turn

o   The Straight Bye-Bye

Apache Running by Mark Hatmaker

Of the many Native American tribes of the southwest United States and Mexico the various bands of Apache carry a reputation for fierceness, resourcefulness, and an almost superhuman stamina. The name “Apache” is perhaps a misnomer as it refers to several different tribes that are loosely and collectively referred to as Apache, which is actually a variant of a Zuni word Apachu that this pueblo tribe applied to the collective bands. Apachu in Zuni translates roughly to “enemy” which is a telling detail that shines a light on the warrior nature of these collective tribes.             Among the various Apache tribes you will find the Kiowa, Mescalero, Jicarilla, Chiricahua (or “Cherry-Cows” as early Texas settlers called them), and the Lipan. These bands sustained themselves by conducting raids on the various settled pueblo tribes, Mexican villages, and the encroaching American settlers. These American settlers were often immig...

The Original Roadwork by Mark Hatmaker

  Mr. Muldoon Roadwork. That word, to the combat athlete, conjures images of pre-dawn runs, breath fogging the morning air and, to many, a drudgery that must be endured. Boxers, wrestlers, kickboxers the world over use roadwork as a wind builder, a leg conditioner, and a grit tester. The great Joe Frazier observed… “ You can map out a fight plan or a life plan, but when the action starts, it may not go the way you planned, and you're down to the reflexes you developed in training. That's where roadwork shows - the training you did in the dark of the mornin' will show when you're under the bright lights .” Roadwork has been used as a tool since man began pitting himself against others of his species in organized combat. But…today’s question . Has it always been the sweat-soaked old school gray sweat suit pounding out miles on dark roads or, was it something subtler, and, remarkably slower? And if it was, why did we transition to what, and I repeat myself,...
