Modern Self-Defence: Drilling for Automatic Counters
In a recent video by MMAShredded, martial artist and fitness guru Jeff Chan shines a spotlight on a crucial aspect of modern self-defence. Ramp up the effectiveness of your self-defence game by learning a simple, trackable, and easy-to-implement method: Drill for automatic counters. While the video, titled “Drill THIS to Counter Automatically!” is scant in spoken detail due to its focused and ‘in-action’ format, it’s still packed with valuable visual info. The 58 seconds video, which has drawn in more than 45,912 views since its upload on August 30, 2023, delivers on what it promises. The Importance of Drilling Modern self-defence isn’t just about learning the right moves. It’s also about how you drill these moves until they become part of your instinct. Jeff emphasizes the importance of training drills to reinforce muscle memory in the video. In a real-life scenario, you might not have time to consciously plan your next move. However, if you’ve practiced it enough times, your body will already know what to do. Automatic Counters This video deals specifically with ‘automatic counters’. An automatic counter is a defensive move that you execute as a reflex to your opponent’s attack, rather than as a considered response. The key to developing this kind of automatic counter lies in consistent practice and specific drills. Building muscle memory Jeff demonstrates a few drills to showcase this concept. Unfortunately, the lack of a written or verbal transcript makes it impossible to break down these drills in exact detail. However, the video’s footage shows Jeff’s skillful execution of numerous counterattack techniques, including punches, kicks, and throws. Jeff Chan’s Training Method Jeff Chan’s approach revolves around building a strong foundation for personal fitness. Based on the video and as shared in the description, he offers an all-encompassing fitness program at MMAShredded.com. In addition to functioning as a jeet kune do practitioner, Chan is also a champion for functional fitness and flexibility. Conclusion While the video is short and lacks any verbal explanation, its power lies in its visual messaging. Jeff Chan’s flawless execution of his trained counters demonstrates the potency of automatic counter techniques. So take this as a reminder that no matter what martial arts discipline you specialize in, self-defence relies heavily on instinctive moves – your body’s ability to respond immediately and effectively to threats in the heat of the moment. To build those instincts, you need to drill, and then drill some more. Again, self-defence is as much about conditioning your body as it is about learning new moves. Repetitive drills help build muscle memory, enabling your body to act reflexively and quickly – that’s the key takeaway from this short but intriguing MMAShredded video. And remember, be consistent in your training regime, stay focused and in a short while, you will notice your body automatically countering attacks even before your brain has had a chance to fully process the threat.MMA Block
