TRITAC Frame "Flow" - Combat Entry Drill

[@Samyorkshireman2.0]

Mad to think a small KFM club I started at 19 years ago was where it all started, Andy Norman taught me this before he made it big, great system and I still use bits of it now

[@tritacacademy]

Cool story bro.

[@coryharris9163]

I always love how martial arts evolves. This looks like wing chun for me. Lots of close range bong saos. The most important aspect is definitely footwork. Attack to Defend to Attack

[@tritacacademy]

Attack to Defend to Attack - I like that!!!!

[@dagaffer2269]

Wing Chun is Wing Dung. How does this even look like Wing Dung?

[@robertcoleman8367]

i see so many worldstar videos and this wild punches are thrown so i been studying. your defense i believe its excellent. thanks

[@tritacacademy]

+Robert Coleman exactly! No one punches "clean", unless you are a trained fighter. But we need to be able to defend against anything, so we train for everything.

[@jayes100]

Loved the way he brushed his scalp 2 , 3 times with his palms for this technique to be effective we have to be bald first it will provide less friction

[@thecrowrains]

For a complete green horn this had nice explanations, thank you for posting. I was watching the other youtube vids by DL and KFM, but most are dubbed over with music or highlights for their upcoming events. Understandably there is an element of money-upfront before being 'taught'. So that said it is nice to actually see the visual with the aural explanation. Thanks!

[@tritacacademy]

Unfortunately DL and KFM has "weird" marketing tactics. They think that by saying "what they do" that they are somehow giving away the secrets of the system. In our eyes, there are no secrets. The secret is actually training and learning. I can show you 10000s of awesome techniques, but if you don't train it, what's the point. We believe in sharing our knowledge, but we also have courses for people to expand their knowledge as well. You can see some of them here: soulfighterstraining.com

[@thecrowrains]

Thank you! I will follow that link you've kindly offered. Also hoping to train (or at least show) my 10 year old son some defensive attributes for which he can remember; is there a safe way to show kids? Or ill advised? sincerely, ~ Eric.

[@tritacacademy]

We teach our kids under 16 a blend of TRITAC-Jitsu and BJJ. We teach base layer Frame 1 Defense to different controls. I think it's ill advised to teach kids advanced or brutal striking concepts if they don't understand the "need for them" yet.

[@juliscehurtado127]

we miss you mike and Lebo! :(

[@kmiranda322]

Looks a lot like Keysi, great information, thanks

[@Xmj6919]

Fiquei impressionado com as tecnicas ,porém não tanto quanto a quantidade de pessoas que confundiram o Tri-Trac com o KFM e DL .Eu percebi serias diferenças .Gostaria se saber se há alguma influencia das artes marciais do 52 Blocks ,pois achei as cotoveladas semelhantes .

[@johnradford5904]

I like it looks very similar to keysi also would not help to be crouched as the body is completely open to strikes

[@tritacacademy]

Both John and Mike (guys in video) have black belts in Keysi Fighting Method and Defence Lab. You also have to remember when analyzing techniques, that you're looking at a FLOW Drill. These are concepts, ideas, etc to make your fighting ability better. Also, he's not just staying there crouched. He is continuing to fight and move through his opponent.

[@Dragonflyjones67]

I'm surprised people can't grasp what TRITAC is?! It's a Concept of a approach to combat, same as Jkd , 52 Blocks,Vee Arnis jitsu, Krav maga, Wing Chun ( by the way is a concept not a style) Wun Hop Kuen Do,Budo Bujikan Taijutsu, and so on. These gentleman are simply finding what works for them in a combatic situation.

[@tritacacademy]

YES!!!! Thank you for seeing it! It's a method of discovery and evolution! Ossss Brett.

[@snakeeyes007]

Or its just Defense Labs fighting system from the UK.

[@mopaditi1737]

Very Impressive practical drills and skills. Too bad there is nobody near me who teaches this!

1:46 2:55 4:12 4:50 5:45 Frame explanation

[@darrellwilson1419]

Would this work with straight punches as well?

[@edgetak]

For self-defense- wouldn't you want to create offensive attack from a flinch/trigger position first ? First comes the "instinctive response (defender), then the conditioned response. For martial arts against martial arts-jabs and hook punches thrown very fast would make that frame nearly impossible unless you first perceived the attack by knowing exactly what the attacker is going to do and if that would be the case then the framing assumes a defensive position. Good mma guys hit and stick while moving laterally. I am not bashing you guys here nor am I a know it all- but these videos afford the platform for good collaboration. In all my years of training the one thing I got really good at was being able to look and experience methods objectively. When someone came along that was superior and I lost partner matches- it made me glad for that exposed my hypothesis of either having too many holes or weaknesses. If I was the one who was more successful, then I would further test the hypothesis on other types to see if my methods were true across the board and not just against that one person or style type. Thoughts?

[@tritacacademy]

Thank you for your insight! Remember, a lot of what you see on this channel are drills and flows to help us learn or play with different concepts. We have a full-system behind this which addresses exactly what you are mentioning. Many of us have also fought pro-MMA, boxing or Muay Thai; but also train for pure combat. Our Frames are part of our arsenal, but not the only thing we do.

[@oremos7998]

chido por usted mi buen

[@ronaldson57]

great video can you post a video on how would you shadowbox for a street fight

[@tritacacademy]

Shadowboxing for a street fight would be the same as shadowboxing in general. You're just adding more techniques to your movements.

[@ronaldson57]

Soul Fighters Academy how many minutes do you usually shadowbox for and how many times of the week you shadowbox

[@tritacacademy]

+Ronaldson57 3-5 rounds of 2-3 minutes. Do it ever time you train as part of your warmup

[@johnradford5904]

Fair enough it wasn't a critique though more a question

[@MrMS1978]

It's the best. But is for hook punch, and for direct punch?

[@Alberto-tv9ur]

El codo no es efectivo en esa distancia, pero la postura es buena para cubrir la cabeza

[@greecostyler]

Very effective techniques but for beginners i would teach them first to hit and kick and in the second phase to use ellbows and knees.

[@tritacacademy]

We have a plan / curriculum that teaches students progressively - you're just seeing a fun application of what we do.

[@johnradford5904]

How do I learn this online. What I mean by this everyone says if you don't spar then forget it. So how does online work when there no is physical contact.

[@tritacacademy]

Online training gives you the "template". It gives you what you need to actually learn. It's "research". But in order to actually make it work, you need a training partner... OR AT LEAST a Grappling Dummy or similar.

[@robertcoleman8367]

is it a good defense to protect from wild haymaker

[@tritacacademy]

+Robert Coleman exactly the point! Thanks!

[@DaveS688]

A respectful question. Would you use these 'frame defences' against a knife slash/stab? If they attack with just punches then of course the frame style defence will have that Gunting/limb destruction effect to it but against a knife slash surely it would just result in severe damage to the lower arms. So I would expect you to answer that you would do something else against a knife but I would then make the comment that sometimes you don't know much about an attack until it happens and so you wouldn't have time to see if they had a knife before you defend to know to do something else and if this frame defence approach is ingrained through training into your reflexes wouldn't you then have a problem? Your thoughts? Thanks.

[@tritacacademy]

Hi Dave! Thank you for your question. When we start talking about weapons combatives, we are getting into our TRITAC-Armed System; but we do include basic weapons defense in both our TRITAC-Jitsu and TRITAC-Unarmed Systems. But, Framing is not part of what we do against weapons. Our Knife Defense Series is our "Hacking & Blasting" series which takes strong influence from the Filipino Martial Arts and Japanese Jujutsu, but of course with TRITAC flow. I hope that explains it. You'll find a lot of our courses and information at our TRITAC site: tritacmartialarts.com

[@ZiggysRevenge]

I'm confused, this is all Defence Labs?

[@tritacacademy]

+Ciaran Doyle no, this is not Defence Lab, though John and Mike both have black belts in Defence Lab and Keysi Fighting Method. TRITAC is influenced by DL and Keysi, but we also influenced by boxing, Muay Thai, Filipino Martial arts and Jiu-Jitsu

[@maryshaw801]

Is there ANY film of this style being used in a real situation, CCTV etc?

[@tritacacademy]

No.... That would be 'interesting', but life just doesn't work like that.

[@maryshaw801]

So, what about challenge fights. There's too much of the 'tested in real situations' stuff going around without any proof.

[@tritacacademy]

@@maryshaw801 Our HQ is the Cage JSA in Cromwell CT. cagejsa.com We've had MANY people over the years who come in for "a fight", and 3 things happen. 1.) The quickly back down when they realize that they are going to seriously get hit when I make them sign the waiver. 2.) They sign the waiver, get their ass beat and never come back. 3.) They sign the waiver, get their ass beat, and join. Most are #1. The #3 guys are some of my best students. But, when walking into a fight gym like ours, with world class competitors in BJJ and MMA; you're seriously stupid asking for a fight.

[@Healingsampailangit]

This is keysi fighting menthod

[@345kobi]

A very large number of fights I have seen begin with a looping right attack ( certainly over 80%). In these videos I have watched so far begin with a looping left attack. Could you tell Me why?

[@tritacacademy]

There was no particular reason, maybe we were playing a bit more sportive with the left hook. But framing concepts work on either side.

Interesting, looks like keysi

[@silviaconcha1735]

I used to practice Karate go-yu ryu, I was green belt (white, white with a yellow line, full yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, black). Now I practice Krav Maga, but the point is: Why that you train in the gym doesn´t really seems to work in real life???? In a real street fight, nothing seems to really work, everything is chaos, and so fast, lots of kicks, punches, screams, and the techniques doesn´t really work. It is just me???? Am I training wrong???? Can you give a clue???? Thanks for your time.

[@tritacacademy]

You are NOT wrong at all. THIS IS THE PROBLEM with "Traditional Martial Arts" or Martial Arts that don't include extensive sparring and live drills in their training. You can do all the punches, kicks, throws, etc you want - but if you don't learn how to "put it together" and make it work in SPARRING - there is NO FUCKING WAY you will make it work in real life. If you really really REALLY want to defend yourself and ultimately be able to "fight" - you need to spar, and do live scenario sparring (2 vs 1, seated vs standing, both seated, escaping drills, etc).

[@edgetak]

I think that the only way to make it work in real life is to do it in real life against someone who really wants to hurt you. Sparring is an agreed upon known environment. Sparring may help with reflex development, developing or acclimating to getting hit, timing and more however I think that you are talking about martial arts against martial arts which is not real combat at all. I have been in an saw real fighting and it looks nothing like this just like it looks nothing like kata. I think what you say "might work" but I would not bet my families life on it by a long shot. When you say there is NO FUCKING WAY- I think you believe it- but you should really question and challenge your strong beliefs. There is all sorts of science surrounding startle/flinch, sensory overload, precognition, pre-contact cues, etc. Martial arts whether traditional or modern are everything that comes "after" self defense. So your statement is lacking adequate information. Good video and drill though. Although I like the drill- the context in totality is lacking to give sufficient understanding to the 90% who have not learned to think or oneself and that is why your defensive statements will create more separation than supporting followers.

[@alanwickman8558]

So I see some good and bad. For close in fighting can be effective. On the o end if you are fighting with arms up you open to lower body strikes. Also distance fighting become problematic. Can be effective.but not as a primary fighting system. One added comment not shown in this video. The JJ elements can be very effective.

[@tritacacademy]

These flows are drills. They are meant to develop a grouping of skills. Flows aren't meant to be a sequence that you "execute", they are designed to create and instinctual connection between movement, reaction and response. Plugging in your own flavor of combat, such as Jiu-Jitsu is highly recommended when studying TRITAC

[@alanwickman8558]

@@tritacacademy Agree that drills and real combat are 2 different animals.I agree that drills as such are practice. I like what is shown from a technique perspective especially close in fighting. I also see this as a great compliment to JJ.

[@danmciver8425]

Def Lab???

[@tritacacademy]

+Dan Mciver I assume you mean Defence Lab or DL. DL, like TRITAC takes some influence from old Keysi Fighting Method. Our Frames are similar to the Defence Lab "shapes". But Frames are only a fraction of what we do

[@tritacacademy]

+protheory of course. Both John Leabo and Mike Simon are black belts in Keysi Fighting Method and Defence Lab. Not saying where you learned or experienced something is just... Stupid. But, TRITAC is its own entity. We have a different vision of modern reality based self defense. Defence Lab and Keysi are just different, but not a "bad" different. They both have incredible techniques, insights, etc

[@NevadaBerserker]

Why do you guys always start with the left hand. There's such a huge % of people who are right handed.

[@tritacacademy]

... we don't. This was just a sample for this video. Also - the left hook is one of the most powerful weapons in boxing / MMA. Also, when attacked on the street rarely in just the right hand thrown - typically you'll see many wild hooks / punches coming from both hands. But if you explore our channel further, you'll see a lot of punch defenses.

My friend, you guys have to stop with that "everybody" is influenced by 52 blocks! It is tired and people like me who have been around since the 60s know better. A lot of myth surrounds 52 blocks and much is borrowed from other styles of fighting. When people's lives are one the line people almost all do the same thing. 52 blocks is sold to many blacks as a method that was founded IN prison to defend against shanks. You CANNOT block shanks! all styles need to be TESTED and they cannot steal from other styles and still call it original or traditional.

[@MasterChee7]

+TheUmmahFightCamp thank u friend. The man that i learned 52 from has used his style against knife attacks and multiple opponents. i am a practitioner who speaks from expereince,not speculation. dont jump to conclusions. however,i can understand ur tone,because their are SEVERAL frauds out there that promote 52 blocks and they dont know 52. i know the real from the fake. if their are 10 dudes claimin 52 on utube then 9 are frauds. This vid has methods from other martial arts incorporated in it. 52 is one of them. im gonna call it like i see it. if u have some doubts about someones claims wit their skill the best thing to do is some friendly sparrin. i dont doubt ur skill and i make no claims, my teacher is mr52. defense against knives and multiple opponents tested and proven,if u have an issue wit brothers that do 52 on utube then seek them out and test ur theory. as for this video,these methods are borrowed and not original
