00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: attention afterwards. Former RABBITO George Burgess is here for the

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: competition height George, How are those guys all right?

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: Yes they are, they're doing very well. The two boys

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 2: who you spoke about who got head knocked there, we

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: had the best medical care. We got them straight into

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: the hospital and they've got twenty four hours. We're watching

10
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: them for twenty four hours around the clup.

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 3: Have you got concussion?

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: I'd say so. Yeah, it was a pretty big hit.

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 3: Dude, Why do you guys? Can you explain this to me?

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 3: Why do you do this? What's the point of this?

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: Hey? Look a sport. We're in a sport, and every

16
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: sport that we have today in our society is to

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,959
Speaker 2: remind us of our warrior past and to simulate warfare

18
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: in a safe way. That's exactly what we do. Sometimes

19
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: things might happen like that, but it's not. It's not

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: what we set out to do. And that the competitors

21
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 2: know what they're doing and in comparison to many other sports,

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: we're actually on the very last scale of of in

23
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 2: that area.

24
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: But hold on a second, how can you say it's

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: not what you set out to do. You're literally two

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: dudes running at each other.

27
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: The courses is going to happen.

28
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: Yes, but if you use the right technique, which is

29
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: what we we ab to implement with our athletes, using

30
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: your shoulder with the right technique, you know, it's a skill.

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: It's a skill.

32
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 3: Are the athletes or are they just bokes you pluck

33
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 3: off the road?

34
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: No, they are. You saw the difference last night with

35
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: the athletes. You know, it's a skill to be able

36
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: to use your shoulder like that. And as we progress

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: and the game.

38
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: Some people just do that when they're working down the side.

39
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry, do you mind just let me finish? So

40
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: it's it's it's a technique to be able to use

41
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: your shoulder in that way. And as we progress every

42
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: this we're only on our second show, right, so as

43
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 2: we progressed, they are going to get more trained on

44
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: a higher level.

45
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: Okay, George, what about this is resembles warfare? And what

46
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: what war did? We have dudes running at each other.

47
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: Every war in history, but.

48
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: Generally they have guns and stuff. Well, bayonets, they're going

49
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: to kill each other with these these two.

50
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: This is this is, this is similar and warfare. And

51
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: every squad that we do today is for similated warfare

52
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: to remind us of our culture, of our past, and

53
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: you know that it is still a part of us

54
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: as humans.

55
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 3: All right, George, listen, Thank you very much. Look after yourself.

56
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,400
