WHEN A BULLY GETS PHYSICAL… 🥋

This drill was created around a real bullying situation a young student was experiencing at school.

After being pushed to the ground, he gets back to his feet — but the attack continues.

👊 As the first punch comes in, he uses an inside high Gaan Sau to protect himself while responding immediately to disrupt the attack.

👊 When the second punch follows, he protects the inside line again, controls the attacking arm and responds to stop the continued assault and create an opportunity to get away.

This isn’t about teaching kids to fight.

It’s about teaching them to BLOCK • PROTECT • RESPOND — staying composed under pressure, protecting themselves and knowing what to do when simply walking away is no longer an option.

We can’t always control another person’s actions, but we can give our kids the confidence, awareness and skills to protect themselves. 💪🥋

Confidence to protect yourself.

🥋 ELBOW DEFENCE — BLOCK • CONTROL • REDIRECT

Defending an elbow isn’t just about stopping the strike — maintaining control is what creates your next opportunity.

This drill works on receiving and controlling the incoming elbow, transitioning underneath to redirect the arm, and maintaining contact as both partners continue the exchange.

From the same control, we can also transition to the wrist and elbow to create an arm lock to a possible takedown.

It’s a simple drill with plenty happening — timing, coordination, reaction, control and learning how to move from defence into a counter.

Block it. Control it. Redirect it. Counter. 🥋

🥋 Vertical. Horizontal. Diagonal. Downward.

Elbows are one of the most effective close-range self-defence tools. Learning to strike from different angles develops awareness, coordination, timing and practical defensive skills.

In martial arts, we don’t just learn techniques—we learn when, why and how to apply them safely and effectively.

This short drill demonstrates both the mechanics of different elbow strikes and one example of how they may be applied in a practical self-defence situation.

Knowledge first. Technique second. Confidence always.
