Hey Craig! I'm glad you have videos up. I was just looking for something to use as a review for the 360 defense and I found this.

Thanks for touching base. The palm strikes and retsev are a great touch. Keep going! Best, CG.

Thank you. Very clear and straightforward presentation. I like the suggestion of doing this with gear once people are comfortable with the basics of it. I recommend people get video of their movements in basic drills as well as more free flowing scenario drills to see how they actually move/respond and how effective that is. I would love to see a quick groundwork tutorial as well (shrimping, bridging, groundflow).

Thanks for your input. I agree with you regarding when to use 360 defense and bursting. If you are boxing & sparring with someone than parries, covers etc. can be effective. Bursting is more designed for a defense to a singular spontaneous attack not so much sparring. I will put up another video clip demonstrating 360 defense w/bursting (simultaneously blocking & striking, putting forward pressure on the attacker while taking their space).

Allinthemix10 ~ Thanks for your feedback, I like leg checks as well to defend against certain types of attacks (such as low line kicks) during certain circumstances, however the 360 defense if used in the right context can be an effective initial defensive method as well, not during sparring, but more from an interview situation in the field. If you have found success by using leg checks keep doing that. Like everything the right tool for the right problem. I appreciate you writing. Keep going.

Thanks Buddha. I'll try to get some more up soon.

Bodymass1000 - Thanks for watching and your comment. If you go to minute 4:33 you will see me training the 360 defense with a partner. (Maybe you didn't watch the entire video). All the best. ~CG

Good comment: If you go to minute 4:36 you'll see that I do bring in a partner to show the drill more thoroughly. All the best, CG.

Could have made it easier and used a partner, good video still
