Sorry folks.  Melendez had to work late.  We'll have to film it another time.  I want to wait to use him since he is a natural Southpaw.

Yeah, I used the opportunity to outline and map out the series.

 

First will be Basic Theory and then applications thereof.  Somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 techniques.  Then plan B is covered for when your opponent applies the Basic Theory against you.  Somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 or 5 techniques.

 

Inside ankle kick is part of the Basic Theory application.  Dominant Leg High Kick is also part of the Basic Theory applicaiton and can also be seen in the clips above.

So how long does this process take? just curious, I'm not trying to be pushy, but this is an interesting topic to me.

If you're talking about the filming and posting of new video, it's different every time.  Some of the material I've already broken down into a neat little progression.  Other stuff it takes me time to simmer down.  The Striker's Formula for instance was all stuff that I knew instinctively but it took me 2 years to figure out how to break down so that I could explain it to others in a way they'd understand.

 

Then the filming process.  Some material gets shot in one take.  Other stuff, the "Making Martini's" technique which still hasn't been published, has been shot 3 times so far and to date, I'm not satisfied with how the initial filming came out.

 

Then there's editing.  Some stuff is a simple snip off the front, a snip off the back, slap the intro on, level the audio and done.  Other clips take a long time to find and incorporate fight footage, various angles, voice overs, diagrams, etc.  In the case of this series, it's a matter of getting Brandon Melendez, my and a camera man's schedules coordinated.

 

After the processes above, then the clip has to be rendered (this can take anywhere between a few minutes and a few hours depending on the size of the project) then it needs to be exported as a Quicktime Movie and converted to MP4.  Then we upload the MP4 to the internet and build a page to embedd it in and were done!
