One chosen student stands in silence between two lines of people, slightly removed from the group. He must fight the temptation to look at the reflection in the window in front of him.
Sensei Scott Cohen walks silently among those in the two lines, signaling by holding up his fingers. `One, two, three, four....' Students nod in agreement, and the lone student is asked to turn around.
After taking a few steps forward, the student feels two hands gripping his neck from behind. With
a few swift movements, the attacker is brought to the floor.
In any other situation, this environment would cause immense fear. Studio A in the gym, however, does not match up to a dark city alley.
In Quinnipiac's Jujitsu course, students are placed in this situation to test their responses to a sudden attack. As intimidating as it might be, it familiarizes the participants with defense techniques that could save them from injury if they were attacked. |
