Trying this new thing out, and plugging my writing. Might also post some other fun things- we'll see how it goes.

Next up in Jukoryu is the defense aainst an overhand attack. The classic example is the big hammerfist from a taller opponent. However, this also works well from a big overhand right from a more evenly-sized opponent. Either way, it's a good transition to control.

Jukoryu jujitsu now sets up a defense versus a 'high tackle' with the arms down. Why not just punch them? Because then you lack control. They can punch back, and then you're just fighting. If the opponent is barging in like this, they mean no good, so take control of the situation.

"Field Labor" is the hot and fresh sequel to "Field Work". It's longer, and more unhinged.“ "They call me ‘Cankles’, " the scratchy, gravelly voice of the orcish hooker tried to purr, but really just sounded like an out of tune rock tumbler." patreon.com/BigJT

Next up in Yawara, our opponent has gotten a little more sophisticated. Instead of gripping the neck, they have gripped the lapels or collars to control. From there, they can choke, throw, and make some trouble. We have a plan to thwart that trouble.

Danzanryu jujitsu's Yawara board starts with wrist grabs, but moves quickly into other forms of attack. Momiji hazushi is the defense against the old stand-by, the front choke with two hands. It's the classic choke for people without training, and dangerous if not defended right.

"Haribo" is an alien contact take with a twist. "Sir, we've made contact with the aliens! You're not going to believe this. They look like giant gummy bears. The aliens don't recognize us as possible. Something about hetero-composite beings incompatible with scientific theory.” patreon.com/BigJT

I have a big ask today. I need $100 million or so in financing to turn some great books into movies without fucking everything up. All of you can pitch in a shiny nickel everytime you see a book murdered on screen.

Variations of these drills can keep you busy and learning nonstop. It's important to practice with others to feel actual resistance from your weapon and to learn to trust your training.

Weapons are as dynamic as empty hands, but more dangerous. That doesn't mean that we cannot train with a partner, we just have to start slow and controlled. These drills are done with both people to learn timing and spacing for blocking and striking.

"Dating is Tough" is short, but it's a wild ride. "Blue. Blue? Blue. Yep. Blue... shouldn’t walk. I focused harder at the screen. Red was the color I looked for. Magenta was the color I got paid for. Yellow and orange whizzed by, but blue was supposed to sit there." patreon.com/BigJT

The next technique I teach for Kenpo is right along the same vein as before. You step back with your left to defend against a right punch. Only now, we introduce combos. Attacking high, low, high, sets students up to understand effective combos.

Kenpo assumes that students will only practice their strong (right) side as begginers. Thus, the follow on to the first two techniques steps back with the same foot, but attacks with the other hand and foot against a left-handed punch. When you teach both sides, it ends up being a bit redundant.

"Justergeist" is one of my longest stories to date. I will likely write more on it later, but this is a good chunk. "As I held the little plastic planchette, I tried to calm my nerves a bit... What do you want!?... F. The rest followed in rapid staccato: I.G.H.T… C.R.I.M.E." patreon.com/BigJT

Tedori jujitsu Tips go in order (straight grip, cross grip, two on one grip), but that only works for certain areas. For legs, we already saw a single leg and double leg defense. Two on one is how many single leg picks are done. Here is where we venture into some common throws- kosoto gake here.

Tedori jujitsu moves on to the Yellow Belt Tip 3 where grips are two on one. You'll notice we don't grapple much here. We open the stance and strike. That two hands on the shoulder grip is preparatory for a knee, so we have to beat them to the punch... or palm heel.

"Field Work" pushes back against modern fantasy conceits that everyone is good in their own way. "By my beard, ye be a fool of a University-trained wizard!" the scarred dwarf grumped. "Different culture, indeed... Bolgrin! Show this lad why goblins ain't just 'misunderstood'." patreon.com/BigJT

Warning: More drama. Why would I spam drama? Because, despite my wishes, drama has sort of found me twice in a span of a couple days. I was happy to let this rest, but chucklehead had to be "clever". So be it. As I said- nice is done.
