Second Private Lesson
This was my sixth session with my client covering the CCMA basic self-protection course. At this point we begin to look more at combat grappling. I feel it is vital for a student to understand positioning and the nature of primal grappling. Before we started exploring this new material I revised the previous sessions’ hard skills. It is vital to install the correct first resort in fighting tactics before a client gets too wound up in the secondary tactics.
We ran through the fence, pre-emptive striking, offline striking, curved striking and impact development first. Then we transitioned through postures. This was followed regaining the initiative via the cover, recovering from various different angles. We then covered combat kicking from different positions. The revision finished with the anti-grappling section covering striking from being grappled, eye gouges, biting, head-butts, very close-quarter striking and finger breaks.
Combat grappling involved a revision of chokes and then a philtrum take-down. This introduced the student better manipulation of the head following on from his previous experience via the eye gouges. We then covered the knee-pin, which comes off the knee-drop. This followed onto escaping the mount position.
