What did Nancy win? The Queen of The May? This idiot is in the Armed Services Committee..
War? War against whom? With what country are we at war? Why doesn't linda name the people or country/countries with whom we are at war?
I agree with Lindsey Graham for once - I'm sorry he is where he is.
A lot of it is natural movements and very simple rather than learning something strange you will never remember how to do in that split second. For instance I’ll tell a woman, “Show me what you would do if a baby was under the rear tire of that pickup, it lost its’ brakes and you have to stop the truck. Show me, in the air....no, you have to brace your legs, it’s heavier than that...the rear gate is greasy, you have to grab it like your fingertips are making holes in it...good. Hands closer together, don’t waste your force spreading it around like peanut butter. It comes from your hips, to your shoulders, the shortest distance is a straight line, wastes the least time and force. Palm heels hit it, fingertips dig into it. Hard. Slam. Good. Okay, that’s pretty good.”
“Now, you’re in your kitchen and your refrigerator is full of car batteries, but it needs to be moved back a few inches. What do you do? No, pushing isn’t enough, now. You have to really get your weight into it...get your ass into it..that’s right, pressing with your shoulder and pushing with your hip, you know how to move a refrigerator. Even your knee pushes against it, down low. It’s a deep push, oomph, oomph. Now put your other hand by your face like a cat is on top of the refrigerator and it might swat you, and you have to protect your eyes. Now push! Move that refrigerator! Slam it! Good!”
Then I have them turn to face me, I’m 6’ 250#+. “Now, understand, you knew in your head all along how to apply maximum force, how to transmit power from your legs, the power your hips and shoulder can direct, against weight and force much greater than your own. Make a fist.” And they make a fist. I put the fist against my breastbone and say, “If I were coming running at you screaming full tilt, would this stop me? What is your confidence factor? Now, I’m the truck about to run your babies over. Grab my ‘tailgate’, the breastbone is here, my floating ribs are here...stop the truck...softly, don’t kill the instructor, ha ha...you stop me hard here, with your palm heels, this busts straightvinto what I use to breathe. You can bust the leading edge of my ribs and grab them...now that hurts, and my ribs aren’t even broken. By the way, here the collarbone is, like motorcycle handlebars. So he hits you in the head, he’s got broken ribs pushing into a lung, and you have to think that way push comes to shove. Hold your head down like this, your pushing arms guard your head, except the very top, and your crown can take a lot.”
“Now, you have to knock me down because others are all around you, you have to get rid of me and pay attention to them. So, ‘push the refrigerator’. Guard your face against the ‘angry cat’, slam your shoulder against the refrigerator here, bounce it sharp against my chest to knock me back two inches...but your hips...that’s right, your butt against my hip socket, power down deep, your shoulder knocks me two inches but your hip pushes me six. Push, and lift. Guard against the cat. No, you’re doing it, you just found out a secret, women have deadly hips. Now either I fall, go to one knee, or I’m here on one foot trying to get my balance. Now slap that fat cat on top of the refrigerator like it’s a dodgeball.” Crash. “And down I go.”
“Go play with it, and tomorrow we’ll learn how grabbing that cat once is better than swatting it a dozen times. Don’t go showing off and put someone in the emergency room, please. And bring me a sandwich next time! I’m not giving these pearl of wisdom for free, Lady!” ;)
A taste of how I think. I want it so simple if someone says “boo”, you’re already turning and setting yourself to play with weights and forces, not just a “Hail Mary” with the knuckles. I used to remove unwelcome guests for a living when I was young and full of myself, but if you do it every day, you learn efficiency. Like how you can be standing in front of someone punching, and in the next couple seconds behind them putting them to sleep. And witnesses eight feet away can’t tell people how you went from in front of them, to behind them. It goes from mystical to simple in five minutes.
And that trick is TWO sandwiches! Meatball sub and tuna on whole wheat!! ;) Heading out for my morning “constitutional”...gotta represent the “Pale Tribe” here in da ghetto, LOL
Graham is a disgrace who should resign his office and commit seppuku at once.
