  • In this video I review some of the techniques we use to teach beginners and children the basic blocks associated with self-defense or low level combat sports. I use pool noodles early on and then switch to these gloves:

    I use the noodles for blocking, bobbing, weaving, and even drilling checking my kicks. And most importantly I also use it bop people on the head!! 🤘🏻

      Yep. I use the noodles a lot. I keep thinking about getting a dedicated pair of sticks but the noodles work so well.

      hard2hurt yea.. in the past I would’ve used a Blocker but it’s just more cost effective to use noodles.

    Thanks for making this man. I have an 8 year old who is getting picked on, on the school bus. It's pretty harmless. They are still small kids so they cant hurt each other too much. I have been wanting to teach him some boxing though, and you know how it is... kids move very awkwardly lol.
    I've been sort of at a loss of how to show him the proper movements. This is a neat idea.

    This is pure gold for trying to teach basics to... say... a 9 year old, who has close to zero interest in combat of any type. I found that using pvc pipe to stiffen them up a bit make em into passable, if ersatz, striking targets, also.

    • @someirishkid9241
      @someirishkid9241 Před 3 lety

      This is very late, but I would say that you can recreate this drill pretty closely - find a karate block that works against a pool noodle being swung like Mike shows and work that on both sides, eventually introduce straight punch defences and other strikes you can imitate with the pool noodles. You don't need great striking technique to get a reaction from someone with a pool noodle, so family members can play the attacker's role.
