This is OC Overly about to throw OC Hill off of him. If someone anchors their arm like that (at your neck), they become easy to flip.
Once you break a the footlock of someone guarding against you, you can stack them quite easily. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then you still need to watch the video above.Notice our tennis shoes with the Army Combat Uniform (ACU). Stylish.
These guys sparred against each other without mouth guards (le gasp!) and the smaller guy won. What you can't tell in this picture is that the smaller guy is only 3% body fat and could probably crush a coconut with his bare hands if such a feat of strength were required.
OC Edwards has stacked Kohlmetz, gained side control, and is now repositioning to perform a mount. From that position she will be able to pummel his face! I mean... if we were allowed to do such things. In reality, she'll probably "try" to choke him, he'll flip her off, she'll guard, and then he'll reverse the guard into a stack, thus perpetuation the circle of moves we've learned so far.
That's all for now on Combatives. Once I have my new Canon G11 (any day--it arrived on base a week and a half ago, after all), I'll have a better low light camera and be able to take pictures of night road marches and more physical training stuff.
Speaking of marches and PT, I ran a 23:08 three mile run yesterday. While mediocre for OCS, I was pleased. It's pretty decent for someone without a running background, and I'll only get better. When I can run 3 consecutive 6-minute miles, I'll be very happy indeed... and very fit! I don't have any goals to ever run faster than that. There's a guy in my company who ran 2 miles in 8 minutes, but he also represented Alabama in the Olympic tryouts. I do not aspire for that sort of speed. It's superhuman.
