25/7/18: Bascis are the key! body mechanics and lock flows

Tonight session was focused on the importance of basics. Every one wants the cool stuff, the advanced stuff... to collect techniques. When in reality all advanced stuff is just "perfect" implementation of basic techniques combined in a variety of ways.... which is why skills and attributes are more important that techniques.

Basics: isolating punches.

looking at full extension and rotation, elbows in, direct movements (no pulling back or up/down "tells")

10x each technique/combo

Jab (full rotation - keep thin, use the hip chin down behind shoulder)

Cross (full rotation -keep thin, use hip, screw in rear foot chin down behind shoulder)

Hook ( no wide swing ,move body weight back, turn body to side/pivot - slam door, lock elbow at right angle, back foot heel on floor front foot heel up)

Forward hook (weight forward on front leg, very little pivot -almost pushing up instead of turning, no wide swing - think cutting through a small gap in guard to hit chin)

Rear Upper cut (drive from hips/feet, elbow in drop body slightly try not to drop hand too low)

Lead Upper cut (as above)

combos:

jab cross
jab cross hook
jab lead hook cross
jab lead hook rear uppercut
jab cross lead uppercut
jab cross bob and weave cross hook
jab cross lead uppercut cross hook

we also did rear round kick but spent time practicing the pivot motion of the feel - body facing forward but both feet (especially lead foot) pivoting all the way to the left - really twisting your hips into hit. once we got the feel for this we then started to let go of the rear leg and use the momentum to swing a round kick - completing a full circle

Pads:

3/4mins any combo the pad holder calls out. punches only. Making sure you keep guard up to defend etc.

Disturb and lock flow cycle:

Start with wrist lock 1 (control thumb push on back of hand), partner disturbs lock by pushing the elbow. Reach UNDER your arm to grab the wrist, hammer fist/chop with free hand then move into figure 4 wrist lock inc dumog drag, partner disturbs by pushing shoulder, reach over and grab wrist, pulling them round and adjusting where you are in need be so that you are using your upper arm (or your ribs if you get jammed up) as a fulcum (putting them into an arm bar of sorts) they will start to spin around you, as they do snap on wrist lock 1 and start cycle again (when put into motion is very flowing and Aikido like - Tom would approve!)

I then worked on a slight variation of this:

Off lead hook - Drive in with elbow and cover rear hand, move into an over hook arm bar, which then moves into 2 on 1 arm bar, into cut the chicken (it has a proper name but don't know what it is!) then gab head in single arm clinch reaching round the head to try and grab ear and then twist head while lifting other arm (steering wheel motion)

We then split into pairs and worked individual syllabus work.

Darren and I went over out syllabus' to check what we weren't sure of. lightly drilling techniques to get them into our bodies... by no means perfecting them at this stage.

we looked at:

Grappling drill (wrist control, elbow control, bicep control, pummelling, clinch, hubud combination flow inc various locks arm bars chokes etc and low line "locks")
hubud (punching and standard, loap sau cycle and parry repost
double stick guntings, double stick sumbrada and disarms (must remembers the same side "shield to abiniqo" strip!)
Single stick disarm flow
Knife vs empty hand inc disarms and hammer and anvil drill (various feeds)
Rear round kick defences
And take downs off Jab and cross

Sounds like a lot (it was) but it was all light touch and very compliant... just to get us remembering variations and co-ordination... Thankfully it was mostly there (memory wise) now need to factionalise it!
