Yeah nice stuff George. Looks quite physical at times (that's not a criticism btw) maybe that's the trouble with clinches? All the momentum grinds to a virtual halt, so you're forced to apply strength-based pressure to get things moving again. ...as an outsider playing 'clipology' you might try dropping your weight a bit more when you're in that situation or want to throw - I find it's easier that way, just a thought...
Hi Cloudhandz, looks like fun. It is a real pain trying to grapple with balloon hands. Have you tried MMA gloves? They stop cuts but allow more freedom with the hands. The Bear.
Yea, we have some MMA gloves. But those clips were taken (edited) from a quite long San shou training round - we were punching too and I even threw some light kicks (I landed a side kick WOO! ). I just pulled these out to highlight some work from clinch. We tried punching eachother in the head with MMA gloves.. Bloody hurts!! When we've been just crappling around we don't bother with gloves ie. fixed step/ moving step. I'll post another clip that shows more all round what we were doing there. In the comp I'm preparing for you get a point for taking someone off the area.. So I was doing a fair bit of of that.. Not the most interesting stuff to watch. Cheers
Yeah it's supposed to hurt to teach you to defend your centreline. I did a load with no gloves, it's good too because you get the feel but the bruises I seemed to get accumulated around my eyebrows were not fun. Yeah were the same, we don't use gloves in fixed/ moving step either. The Bear.
ere are some more clips from class Some free play [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNN9EzjuQK4"]YouTube[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zys8PMmnDE"]YouTube[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDLPvGYvAno"]YouTube[/ame] cheers Chris
Did ya bitch slap that guy in the last clip Chris, LOLZ that lookie like it hurt! ha ha ha Nice clips.
looked like the other guy "had some dust in his eye" a couple of times there... :cry: Nice stuff. Good to see you working at pace with more pressure too. Hopefully will help some of the clipologists understand the difference between your IMA slower 'set up' training and free-er sparring ...and that (OMG!! ) they actually complement each other...!
That's a good one! Hows about a t-shirt saying: The second coming of Christ......2000 years. You gonna get around to it or what???????
Ah well, patience is a virtue, and you know 2000 years is not so very long within the context of eternity. Though of course, if you are in some kind of a hurry, you could always try talking to God and explaining to Him that you'd like Him to fit in with your schedule - not that He doesn't already know precisely what is in your heart and on your mind.
