In pairs, face to face, hands in contact: your partner’s hands rest on your chest or shoulders, like a defender pressing you. You close your eyes and stop reacting to what you see, only to what your hands feel. As soon as your partner pushes or grabs, you break free. It is the reflex of the hands, worked without the help of the eyes. Six short fights, then you swap roles.
Key points
- The hands stay in contact from start to finish.
- You react to the pressure, not to what you see.
- Short fights, at full intensity.
Common mistakes
- Opening your eyes as soon as it gets hard.
- Pushing hard without breaking free: it isn’t a strength contest.
