00:00Can you stop bullets with your hands?
00:01No, you can't stop bullets.
00:03And that's another thing, and that's another thing.
00:05I'm glad you said that because, you know,
00:07when some people think of martial arts,
00:10they think of movies.
00:11This ain't no movie thing.
00:13This is real life.
00:14The reality is, yes, you can do certain things.
00:17You know what I mean?
00:18But you're not to get caught up in thinking
00:20it's all about movies.
00:21You'll get into a fight and you can get hurt.
00:24You can get touched.
00:26You know what I mean?
00:27But it's, what do you do when you've been touched?
00:30Do you get what I'm trying to say?
00:31Do you fall apart and end up losing
00:34because your brain's just gone all foggy
00:37and it's like, oh God, what do I do?
00:39It's all about just reacting.
00:43It's reactionary.
00:44Is it programming the machine on how to behave?
00:49I wouldn't say, well, in a sense it is.
00:52But in you doing your drills and all these type of things,
00:56the drills are not there for you to say, right,
00:58if this happens, this is what you do.
01:00If that happens, that is what you do.
01:02You just do.
01:03You just react.
01:05So for example, if something happened,
01:07you learn in the class how you do this,
01:10you can't determine what the other person is going to do.
01:13So therefore, you might end up being in a headlock
01:16and you might end up biting the person.
01:19You understand what I'm saying to you?
01:20Don't necessarily mean you learned that.
01:22When I was teaching, I didn't teach you to be like me.
01:27I taught you to be like yourself,
01:29to draw out what you have within you.
01:32So you go in with your abilities
01:36and what we're doing is basically giving additionals
01:40for you to enhance in what you already have.
01:44You know what I mean?
