Welcome to episode number 128 of Fight for a Happy Life, the show that believes even a little martial arts makes life a whole lot better. It’s been a little while, it’s great to see you again.</p> <p>Today, I want to talk about the nuts and bolts of martial arts, the nuts and bolts of self-defense. And, no, I’m not talking about kicking someone in the nuts and bolts. I’m talking about your training, your techniques, your habits.</p> <p><strong>Are the components of your training, the assembly of what you do, strong and solid, will they hold up under pressure, offensively, defensively, or will it all break apart?</strong></p> <p>The reason I want to talk about this is because of an incident that occurred to me a few years ago now. You might notice that in the background of some of my older videos, there’s a big red wall and four black heavy bags hanging up.</p> <p>Now I will tell you that that project made me very proud of myself. I’m not a mechanical guy, but I figured out how to get those bags put up on that wall, so it was a big deal.</p> <p>With the help of another Sensei, we drilled those boards into the brick wall. I found some wall mounts. We installed those. I had custom bags made, black leather, specific weight, and they came out great. They looked wonderful. And we hung them up.</p> <p>Kids of all ages loved hitting them. I loved hitting them. Other teachers loved hitting them. Adult students loved hitting them. It was a big success. That is until a couple of weeks went by.</p> <p>In the middle of a class, I’ve got some kids running a relay race, and a precious little girl went running down one of the rows, and she kicked the bag, she turns around, she starts leaving, and to my horror, the bag detached and just fell. BOOM!</p> <p>Thankfully, she was not hit, but I was in shock. Shut down the drill, got the kids away from the bags, finished the class, and then afterward, had to come over and face my failure, grabbed a step stool, and got up and took a look at the mechanism.</p> <p>Just like most heavy bags, the bag had a carabiner on it, the carabiner attached to a metal ring, the ring was attached to the wall mount with a bolt and a nut. Somehow, the nut had worked its way to the end of the threading and fallen off and let the whole bag go. So I figured, being not a super mechanical guy, Oh, I just didn’t tighten them enough when I first installed them.</p> <p>So cranked, cranked, cranked as much as I could, made them as tight as I possibly could, and thought, there, done deal, we’re okay now. </p> <p>Nope, nope. Couple weeks later, the same thing happened. A bag fell off. Again, thankfully, no one got hurt. But this time, I was really upset because I couldn’t figure out the problem. I hate that. </p> <p>So this time, I figured, well, it’s taken about two weeks for this to happen. This just needs to be a regular maintenance task. When you come in for the day, check the bags and see where the nuts are and tighten them up every day. I guess it’s just a design flaw in the wall mounts. That’s what I thought.</p> <p>But of course, this was always a stress. If I’m sick or if I was working at a different location, I didn’t want to depend on everybody trying to always check for those things because there’s always something that falls through the cracks. And I didn’t want that to fall on someone and crack their head. </p> <p>So I happened to mention this problem to my brother, who is more mechanical minded and has some background in construction. And he didn’t think twice. He just said, Oh, you need a spring washer. What? A spring washer or a split lock washer. Different names. </p> <p>So all it is, it’s just like a regular washer, right? A little flat circle, but it’s got a cut in it and it’s got a little twist. So it looks like the first coil of a spring. Now, when you put that spring washer next to a nut, it pushes the nut and tilts it a little bit. So it creates some friction on the bolt.</p> <p>So now, when the bag is shaking and the mount is shaking, the nut doesn’t start spinning and moving down the threads. What? It’s that simple? A tiny little piece of metal? It didn’t even cost me a dollar to get four of them. Super cheap, super easy to install.</p> <p>And would you believe it? We never had that problem again. That simple.</p> <p>But what a lesson. You hear about how the devil is in the details. And boy, if this wasn’t a great example of that. All the money and time that I spent putting those bags up on that wall, all of the drilling and pounding and all to be undone by just this little omission of a spring washer. Of course, now I know.</p> <p>Engines and washers and dryers and blenders, all these things that vibrate and shake, have some type of anti-vibration technology in them. So, in case you didn’t know, now you know. But this brings the question back to my martial arts training.</p> <p>Because I realize how little it takes for your techniques to transform into something very successful or to fail completely.</p> <p>On the offensive side, you may have a really strong punch, but if the pressure’s a little off, your alignment’s a little off, you can break your wrist when you hit something, right?</p> <p>If you’re actually fighting with someone, these small adjustments in your footwork or your distance can make your punch completely miss. And of course, it works on the defensive side too.</p> <p>If somebody grabs you and you can shimmy or wiggle just so, you can get away. If you don’t, you’re getting caught. So these little tiny details, these nuances, the subtlety is really what makes or breaks your technique.</p> <p><strong>So what about your technique? </strong>This is what we’re talking about. How would you judge your technique?</p> <p>I can tell you that when I work with kids, for instance, they get cocky really fast. They don’t seem to understand nuance in any way. And of course, how could they?</p> <p>The other day, I was working with a student and he’s been a little behind on earning his next belt. He just hasn’t been putting in the work and it shows. So after class, he was whining a little bit like, why can’t I be signed off?</p> <p>And I started a couple of little things I needed him to fix. Amongst them, very simple, when he makes a fist, his thumb is sticking out.</p> <p>And I said, look, you know, you’ve been here almost two years and this is not a secret that, you know, I want you to make a strong fist. I don’t want your thumb sticking out. And right in front of me, he fixed it.</p> <p>Okay. I said, good. I said, now open your hand, show me another fist. He made a fist. I said, good. Now that’s what I want to see. And he replied, Can I get my belt now? No appreciation for the time to build a habit. </p> <p>Of course, I said, Well, no. Now you have to come back and show me you can do that on your own, that you’ve done the work to make it automatic. I shouldn’t have to tell you this.</p> <p>So from a kid’s standpoint, there’s probably a large gap between hearing information, copying the information and actually embodying it, making it part of you. Of course, I hope that’s not part of my training.</p> <p>I presume there are some blind spots, things that I think I’ve got down, when actually there are some details that I’m probably missing.That’s the addiction to constantly seeking out new teachers and new videos and new practice, because there’s always some new little angle that I haven’t considered before. I presume the same is true for you.</p> <p>I think most students were all pretty good at the big stuff. You see a teacher throw a punch, a kick, do a takedown, do a submission, and you think, oh, I see what you just did there. And it’s only over time of years of going back to that technique, and it fails, and it fails if you’re honest with yourself, if you have honest training, where you’re forced to finally figure this out and say, how are you making this work, but I can’t? </p> <p>And I think that’s a wonderful process of these tiny little nuances. Just today, I was working with my own teacher. It was a private lesson. And we spent an hour and a half on the subtleties of gripping cloth and where the pressure in the fist is, and how to weaken it, and how to strengthen it, and what angles are the best for holding something.</p> <p>And that might sound like absolute geek nerd talk, but if you’re a real martial artist, you understand the importance of that kind of study.</p> <p><strong>So, on the learning side of things, I hope that you never stop asking questions, you never stop observing other people performing the techniques that you want to perform, and I hope that you never stop experimenting in practice.</strong></p> <p>Just keep that open mind. Don’t be like a child who sees it once or twice, does it once or twice, then just stops and says, yeah, I got it. It’s rampant.</p> <p>Adult students, I see that all the time. You show a technique, they do it once or twice, then they sit back and wait for something new to come up. They don’t want to drill it, they don’t want to repeat it.</p> <p>They just figure, yeah, I know that already, I got it. Fools. Let’s not be one of them.</p> <p>Now on the defensive side, you might find it interesting that back in the day, when I first started my martial arts training, of course I was quite taken with Bruce Lee, the Tao of Jeet Kune Do, and when I learned that that meant the art of the intercepting fist, I kept thinking about that word of intercepting.</p> <p>I thought that was interesting, how a technique, a punch might already be coming your way, a choke is already being set in, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be finished. There’s some wiggle room in there. There’s a gap in time.</p> <p>There may be a gap in distance or pressure that allows you to reverse it, escape it, which then should become the main point of your study. I don’t want to get punched. I don’t want to get locked up.</p> <p>So as I kept practicing with that idea in my head that you could intercept a technique, it occurred to me how easy it is to thwart or stop someone from finishing what they want to do. And I knew that for sure, not in a cocky way, but because I knew how hard it was for me to do it. </p> <p>I saw a hip throw very early on in my training, but in sparring, very hard to find a hip throw. Getting punched and kicked, trying to get close, get grips, get the angle to make that hip throw happen seemed impossible to me.</p> <p>So it became sort of my confidence, my shield, that if I could just thwart what you need, then there’s no way you can ever get me. So that meant my learning, I didn’t have to be great at throwing punches, I just needed to know how a punch is thrown, what you’re targeting, and then screw up your distance or screw up your angle and take that away from you.</p> <p>I don’t have to be great at judo throws, I just need to know what grips are you looking for, how close do you need to be, and how do I either break that grip or drop my weight or change my angle to take that throw away from you.</p> <p>So there was a couple years there where I thought if I ever named my own martial art, I would call it the art of the thwarting fist. Just a variation I guess on the intercepting fist idea, that there was always wiggle room to stop someone from hurting you. I would like to think that’s still true today. I think that strategy works great.</p> <p>This is kind of old school thinking when I first heard about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It wasn’t that you were trying to win or beat the other person. I just needed to stop them from beating me. That was another way to define a victory. I don’t need you to be bloody and unconscious. I just need to be able to go home and not be bloody or unconscious.</p> <p>So that type of thinking was definitely worth meditating on. Now, I do think there are situations where you need to end things and someone needs to be stopped definitively. I don’t think you can always run out the clock or wait for help. I don’t think that’s a great strategy. I think it should be an option in your training, but it can’t be the only option. You do need to know how to finish a fight.</p> <p>So that’s the only little extra bit of wisdom on that. So the bottom line here is that the devil is in the details. And whenever you think you know what you’re doing, back up a moment and take another look at it. </p> <p>Increase the pressure, increase the challenge. If no one person can beat you in sparring, then spar two people. If no two people can spar you successfully, then give them a knife in their hand. Keep increasing the pressure until you figure out where that little nut is slowly shaking off and then you fall apart. It’s better that you find those things out in your training than in the real world. </p> <p>And speaking of the real world, of course this thinking is going to apply to every part of your life. It’s always amazing to me how the little things make the biggest difference in every part of your life.</p> <p>You could have the greatest car, but if you’re not checking the air pressure in those tires, your braking is going to be off, your steering is going to be off, your gas mileage is going to be off. It’s a small thing, and yet it’s a huge thing.</p> <p>The way you treat your spouse or your partner, if you’re unkind, if you’re quick-tempered, if you’re impatient, if you can just stifle those things a little bit, it makes a big difference.</p> <p>How much time you make to exercise, how much time you make for self-care, how much time you can just add for a little recovery before you work out again, how you eat, when you eat, how much you eat.</p> <p><strong>Every little thing you do adds up to this big, big result. And I just hope, as you get older, as I get older, we never stop looking for the little things.</strong> Especially as we get older and you have maybe less energy or less ambition.</p> <p>It’s nice to know that little things can still change your trajectory towards success. I know right now in my sparring or my wrestling, I don’t have to be faster and stronger all the time. Bigger guys, younger guys, trying to impose their will on me.</p> <p>I’m very happy to be in a place now where I know the power of small adjustments, of taking a little breath, of staying calm. All of these little things that when I was younger, I didn’t think made much of a difference. But taken together, a bunch of little things add up to one big thing. </p> <p>You’re 50 pounds heavier than I am. You’re 20 years younger than I am. But I make better decisions. I can feel more. I’m more sensitive. I’m more creative. I follow up sooner. I don’t freeze up as much.</p> <p>All of these little things add up to something that can equate to your muscular superiority. If you don’t believe that, I want you to believe that. Because otherwise, your training is going to always be depressing.</p> <p>If you’re still trying to kick and punch as hard and as high as you did in your 20s, and now you’re in your 50s or 60s, you’ll always be disappointed. Because you’re not working on the skills that can still be developed. If anything, they’re getting worse, right? That’s just nature. I’ve accepted that. I hope you have too. </p> <p>I’ve accepted the pain in my joints, arthritis. I’ve accepted some limitations and the stiffening up. I still work out, but the way I work out is to focus on the little things that allow me to handle weights a little bit better, that allow me to breathe a little bit smoother, that allow me to see a little bit more.</p> <p>And I’ve been very happy on that path. So I invite you to follow me or lead me or get alongside of me on that same path. The path of the details, the path of the little things. This is where the spring washer lives. This is where you fill the air in your tires. You wash the dishes right as you use them. You don’t let them pile up. </p> <p>You make those little investments in the equipment that you need to make your life and your jobs easier. It’s worth it. You’re worth it. </p> <p>So that’s all I wanted to get off my chest today. I’ll be back with a lot more later. But for now, keep learning, keep moving. Don’t be undone by some small oversight, by some small piece of information that you could have had, but you didn’t get, because you didn’t ask, you didn’t try, you didn’t see it.</p> <p>There’s so much that you can add to your repertoire. There’s so much that you can still add to your skill set. But only if you’re just humble enough to say, yeah, I don’t know everything.</p> <p><strong>Yes, there’s so much more room for me to learn. Keep learning, keep moving, and that’s going to make you solid. That’s going to hold up under pressure.
