O.k., so now I've showed you off a stationery opponent, weaponless stationery opponent,
where the targets are. Now let's say my partner, right now, he has a stick. Now he's moving
a stick, now we both have weapons. O.k., now it changes a little bit, I'm still long range.
O.k., once again, I face him, I touch shoulder, I'm still in long range, Largo Mano. O.k.,
so now with his hand wielding the stick outright like this, his hand becomes one of the main
targets. O.k.? Reason being, it's closer to me, it's the closest thing I have to hit.
O.k.? So, I'm actually trying to go for his hand. O.k.? In reality, Robert would be avoiding
these hits by moving his stick around. He'll be moving it right here, semi-circles they
call it. O.k.? So, he'd be, he'd try to avoid even, you see that? Yes, see he's trying to
avoid. In between that, he could try to hit me. O.k., so I always want my stick in this
vicinity, this area right here, because after I hit his hand he could jab me back. You see?
But I had my stick here to block just in case. O.k., now I could reach his head, o.k. I'm
just going to have to lean a little bit, and reach. O.k.? So, I can go hand, I can go head,
these are center line strikes, because they're straight down on a center line. O.k. I could
still even go across, you know. Being I can still reach him. But of course, if Robert's
smart, what he'll do is, he'll just put his stick up. It'll block, he just keeps it tight,
he sees the angle coming. O.k? So, once again, my targets now, I'm still in long range, o.k.,
but now my target is, my main target is the hand. O.k., I'm trying to attack the hand.
Right now, we have, you can see the protective equipment Robert has on, a helmet, a vest,
specially formulated for this type of fighting, and the gloves, actually LaCrosse gloves,
we'd also wear LaCrosse elbow pads, I don't have them right now at the moment. O.k., but
you need to start off with protective gear because these hits right here with the stick
are very powerful and you will even feel them through the equipment. O.k., especially when
I use the tip of my stick and I have all this velocity, all this whip in the stick. O.k.,
I can't even hit him full speed and full power even with this stuff on, because he kind of
feels it. And that's with a very,very,very light stick. O.k., but I just still show right
here. O.k.? These are different types of hits, still, still showing the Largo Mano range,
long range, and I'm introducing the hand as one of the main targets now. Now that he has
a weapon.
