Video Transcript

" The Black Dragon has eight animals utilized in self-defense. We’re going to show some movements from the crane style against grabs. We’re going to go two hands grab single wrist. One hand grabs each wrist and we’re going to go with two hands grab an arm. First one utilized, if the wrist is being grabbed, we make a fist with the grabbed hand. Grab your own fist, twist down, and then return back with the double palm press. The second one, if we’re being grabbed, single hand on each wrist, we want to snap against the thumb side, press down with this, and again push, or if they’re close in range, bring in an elbow. The last one, if they’re grabbing the upper arm. Again, I make the fist, I grab my own arm, I step away for leverage, pressing this down over the hands and push back. We’ll bring you two in. We’re going to go with the first one. This is two hands grab a single wrist. We’re going to make the fist, grasp that, bring it over, and return, off balancing the aggressor. The second one is going to be a single hand. Grabs each wrist. We always go against the thumb side to make the fist. Snap up, pushing down, and then step forward again striking the aggressor here. We can also do that if the thumbs were downward. We’ll do a reverse grip on that. This time we’re going to blast him down and then push forward. Then the last one we’re going to show, is two hands grab the upper body. Again, making the fist, circling around, coming forward, and pushing back. Excellent. "
