Interesting. What's the purpose of the spoken parts? Just to focus your intent (and maybe use something in english rather than yelling "shout"?) :)

Interesting concept. I like the idea of contiunally trying to withdraw even as one is attacking. This is a very good strategy from a legal point of view. Witnesses certainly are going to hear a certain message.

He has clearly added some concepts from the RMCAT and F.A.S.T. First of all he is using a modification of ready stance for streets that is less aggressive than a typical fighting stance yet leaves the hands and body in a better position to defend then just standing straight on.

Secondly he is using open hands strikes to the face, due to the significant risk of injury to the hands when striking with fists to the face.

Thirdly the word stopit would have to two functions.The first as noted above is put your actions as being more defensive for witness. The other reason is that people under stress hold their breath and verbalizing or even growling or screaming prevents you from holding your breath.

I can see the legality of continually telling the person to stop as you pummel them. That way witnesses can testify that you were continually asking the person to stop.

Giving a command and reinforcing it with pain is a common technique, I believe--LEOs use it too.

yeah, i'll have to agree with you. Beat the crap out of the guy, act as if your fighting for you survival by saying "stop it", even though you may possess knowledge and experience far greater than his. HaHa, don't be surprised if you see some guy hitting some bystander and shouting "stop it"!

It truly is an interesting video clip. The self protection actions were ok by me, except for real quickly towards the end the attacker grabs him near his neck, or on his shoulders near his neck or something. I can't tell if its a choke or what. His response was to remove his attackers hands with his own hands. Against a big, strong, powerful grip that might be hard to achieve.

I say "attack with your armpit", by shooting your arm directly across the front of your body, above the attackers arms. Get the attackers hands and fingers clinched between your body and arm. Then sink and spin.

That black belt female looked pretty sharp. I was a little hung up on the instructor having both hands down on one tech, but thats to be expected.

Just as an FYI thats Hayes, just in case you were unaware.

Whenever I have seen Stephen Hayes and Rumiko doing stuff on video, I always thought she looked better than him. But it could be the fact that often he is talking/demonstrating, and shes just doing techniques.

What the ...??? I am truly at a loss for words.


Mrs. Hayes does appear to be the sharpest one of the bunch.

Hayes has been working with this concept for a while. I went to a seminar back in '92 or '93 which combined his go-dai techniques with phrases like "Stop!"

I have trained with them on a few occasions and I can say from experience that Rumiko is considerably better than Stephen, her movement is more natural.

I have trained a lot with both Steve and Rumiko. I would much rather have Steve backing me up in bar fight so to speak. Rumiko has good technique but Steve has both the power and technique and I have seen him use it.
