I have noticed most students are terrible at changing from one wrist connection to the next, so I put together this little flow sequence. Sadly I did it too fast to see all the techniques clearly, but there are 10. I now see techniques as connections and balance breaks, not these big cranky things. There is no pain in these techniques. Of course we work every technique to a throw or tap as well, but here is the whole sequence. If you want to see it slower let me know.
One of the things I really like about this sequence is that each technique builds from the failure of the previous technique. When it is done correctly your opponent almost throws himself into the next connection.

glad you are digging renzoku -- good stuff-- i'd like to see a version where you take at least two steps in each lock condition so that the full dynamic of the postural challenge and response can play out before you transition -- hang around kinda lazily in each waza for a bit (while still moving) -- again this sequence this looks to be really good but just a bit rushed in execution
ReplyDeleteOK, will do. That is pretty how we work it. I guess I rushed for the camera.
ReplyDeletei like the rolling feel to the transitions...
ReplyDeletesomething i like to do with a flow like this, is once you get good at the sequence, experiment with adding an atemi before or after every hand switch.
ReplyDeleteor work your way through it, throwing a floating throw out of each control position.
in the intensive we played with stretching out the engagement to 8-10 steps in each condition and had some really creative and interesting results
