WILTON TEJADA: Hi, my name is Wilton Tejada. I'm one of the instructors here at Camp Undefeated, New York City. In this clip, we're going to show you how to do an aikido chest thrust, okay? Basically, attacker comes in, you redirect that arm out away from him, arm, chest, stepping forward, okay? Traditionally, we like to not cause any harm to the opponent, just, you know, subdue the opponent, but it also could be done this way. Redirect, come around, punch, okay? Let's do that again. Again, we--going to try. I'm trying to defend myself, at the same time, I'm trying to subdue him and not cause too much harm to him. So redirect, come around, remember that. Throwing forward and direction is usually forward with your feet, okay? Another variation of it is to do it this way. To come in and thrust forward. So, I went through outside, you can also come in through the inside of his body line. Again, do the inside this way, okay, and come around. Keep going. So going to come around, we'll do it here, here, thrust, and there you can come grab, put him on his... Okay.
