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...

A Conversation with Neil Melanson by Mark Hatmaker

Here is a chat I had with a good man with a good mind, Neil Melanson. If you are unfamiliar with Neil’s exemplary work he has coached at Xtreme Couture, Alliance MMA, and a HC with the Blackzilians. He is now at gym Genesis Training Academy and Coach of the Filthy Few MMA team. -DVDs out are: Head Hunter, Catchwrestling, and Ground Marshal guard basics  -book Mastering Triangle Chokes -black belt under Karo Parisyan in the Hayastan Grappling System  First things first, Brother Neil, thanks for taking the time to have this chat. Allow me to get another thing out of the way, your book Mastering Triangle Chokes , top-notch. This is high-speed, low-drag stuff all the way. Often there is chaff to be culled through, but you have a linear approach that appeals to the pragmatic streak in me. Excellent work. Thanks a lot man.  You are a real articulate and detailed coach so that means a lot coming from you. Your approach to grappling appeals to my expansiv...

Walk Like a Warrior by Mark Hatmaker

In reading contemporary historical accounts written by soldiers (cavalry and dragoon), settlers, scouts, pioneers, and other citizens of the American frontier 1680s-1880s, I find mention that Native Americans (“Indians” or “Savages” in the accounts) did not walk like “white men.” Their gait, stride, and foot placement is described often in poetic terms as “light” or “light-footed,” “fleet”, “gliding”, and often times “springy” or “spring-like.” These terms while descriptive of the effect do little to tell us the how or why of the gait. We can find clues in accounts given by trackers in any of the myriad “Indian Wars” or skirmishes that riddled the continent in the first few centuries of the settling of the nation. The obvious telltale barefoot or soft impression of a moccasin is often a giveaway that you have a Native American track but this is less so in the moccasined foot as more and more Anglo backwoodsmen adopted this footwear. But there are a few accounts that mention ...
