WELCOME BACK TO "LIVING
808."
SELF-DEFENSE FOR ANY MEMBER OF
THE FAMILY IS BETTER TO HAVE
THAN NOT HAVE.
AND ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO DO
THAT IS AT TEEM H K.
HERE TOL TODAY AT RELSON GRACIE
WITH "THE TODAY SHOW."
TODD TANAKA.
IT'S A MARTIAL ART THAT
STARTED IN JAPAN.
MY TEACHER'S FATHER AND OLDER
BROTHER, ENABLED A SMALLER,
WEAKER PERSON TO GIVE YOU
LEVERAGE.
WHY IS SELF DEFENSE SO
IMPORTANT?
SELF DEFENSE IS IMPORTANT
BECAUSE EVERYONE NEEDS IT.
IT'S LIKE INSURANCE.
IT'S BETTER FOR HAVE IT THAN NOT
HAVE IT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE FEEL LIKE I CAN
DO THIS AND THAT.
WHAT ARE SOME BENEFITS THAT
YOU GAIN.
BENEFITS ARE DIFFERENT FOR
EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, KIDS, OLDER
PEOPLE.
SO ORDER ORDINATION, CONFIDENCE.
YOU KNOW YOUR HEALTH GETS
BETTER.
GET MORE FLEXIBLE.
YOUR MIND GETS CAR SHARP.
YOU'RE IN THE MOMENT, RELIEVES A
LOT OF STRESS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE COME HERE, THEY
MAKE FRIENDS, GOOD FOR THE
BRAIN.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IS THIS
GET-UP I HAVE ON HERE.
IT'S A KI, I, KIMONO.
I ALREADY FEEL MORE POWERFUL.
YOU LOOK GOOD.
CAN YOU SHOW ME A FEW MOVES?
SURE.
WHAT'S THE FIRST MOVE?
OKAY.
GRAB HER BY THE WRIST AND TRY
TO PULL HER.
SO GRAB YOU BY THE WRIST.
TURN SIDE WAYS RIGHT HERE.
BEND YOUR KNEES LIKE TUG OF WAR.
TURN YOUR WRISTS TOWARDS --
THIS WAY.
THIS WAY RIGHT HERE.
AND THEN SLAP HERE.
OKAY.
CAN I TRY IT ONE MORE TIME?
YES.
WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO IS
I'M GOING TO GRAB YOU AND YOU'RE
GOING TO TURN SIDE WAYS.
RELAX, DON'T LET ME PULL YOU.
YOU'RE GOING TO PUSH IT OVER TO
MY EL BOW AND BRING YOUR HAND
UP.
SO WHAT'S THE NEXT ONE.
AN ATTACKER GRABS YOU, CHOKES
YOU UP AGAINST THE WALL.
HOW DID YOU DO THAT BECAUSE
THAT ALL HAPPENED SUPER FAST.
LET'S GO GET THIS WATER.
I WANT YOU TO TUCK YOUR CHIN,
YOUR SHOULDERS RIGHT HERE.
BRING TWO HANDS UP.
I WANT YOU TO GRAB AND FIND THE
LOOSE FINGER.
JUST LIKE THAT.
BRING THE OTHER HAND HERE.
AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO SLOWLY
BREAK THE ATTACKER'S FINGER.
NOT MY FINGER.
WHETHER IT GREATS RIGHT HERE,
YOU CAN PUSH THE ATTACKER OFF.
SO I HAVE JAMIE HERE.
THE PROBLEM IS THE PERSON IS
SITTING ON YOU AND THEY ARE
TRYING TO CHOKE YOU.
AN ATTACKER GETS ON TOP OF
YOU AND THEY GO TO CHOKE YOU.
WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO IS TUCK
YOUR CHIN LIKE I SHOWED YOU LAST
TIME.
LOOKING AT YOUR CELL PHONE.
MY FOOT DOWN HERE.
LIKE THAT.
AND I WANT YOU TO LIST ME
RIGHT THERE.
KEEP GOING, KEEP GOING.
YOU'VE GOT TO TRY IT AGAIN.
GOOD.
ARCH THAT WAY.
PUT YOUR HANDS ON MY STOMACH.
TODD AND JAMIE, THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE
SHOWED ME TODAY.
I LEARNED SO MUCH IN A SHORT
AMOUNT OF TIME.
WHERE CAN VIEWERS FIND MORE
INFORMATION.
ON OUR WEBSITE.
AWESOME.
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.
IT'S SO GREAT BECAUSE YOU SEE
JAMIE THERE AND NOW CHECK JAMIE
OUT, THIS IS ALL ABOUT LEVERAGE.
SHE'S GOT THREE MEN ON HER.
I KNOW.
AND ONE, TWO, THREE.
SO CRAZY.
ISN'T THAT GREAT.
I LOVE TODD.
I'VE KNOWN TODD FOR YEARS.
THEY ARE TEACHING SOME GREAT
THINGS.
IT'S GREAT FOR GIRLS, WOMEN, AS
YOU KNOW, BUT ALSO FOR MEN.
AND IT'S ABOUT THE SMALLER
PERSON BEING ABLE TO COMPETE AND
CHALLENGE A LARGER PERSON.
ABSOLUTELY.
AND I HOPE THAT ANYONE WHO
SEES THIS WILL GO AND TAKE YOUR
KIDS.
I MADE MY DAUGHTER GO AND SHE
WAS SO UPSET AT FIRST AND THEN
WHEN WE WERE PRACTICING, SHE'S
LIKE MOM, I LEARNED SO MUCH.
IT'S LIKE PLAYING CHESS.
IT'S REALLY COOL.
I HAD MONTH IDEA AS FAR AS
THE LEVERAGE IS CONCERNED.
I FEEL LIKE THAT IS SUCH AN
IMPORTANT THING.
YOU KNOW, JUST -- IT'S VERY
EMPOWERING.
AFTER I LEFT I WAS LIKE I FEEL
LIKE --
CLASS NUMBER ONE IN THE
BOOKS.
YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY TO CLASS
1,000.
ALL RIGHT.
WHEN WE COME BACK, HOW ABOUT
MALASADAS AND ICE CREAM.
