nice clip , but didn't like at 1:30 .... where the dude had his head down trying to fend off the mob! were his eyes close too?
some nice drills in that also. thx for sharing

Thanks guys. Wuwei Sifu - yep, I take your point. The aim of this drill is to maintain a certain kind of pressure on the guys and see where it takes them. Shooter, I think, spoke on a thread about training from failure and this is perhaps a similar idea - that point of "breakdown" is the point where we need to address our issues, whether it's freeze / flight / head down and windmill. It's not tactical training (though those may also be tactical options) but more to see where your head goes under pressure

cheers
