    Whatever it is, make sure it's recorded so I can teach myself the same stuff afterwards :D

    How about everything from the Enhanced Martial Arts website?

    The man who's voice is enough to have you shaking in your boots.

    The grovit. It hurts, a lot.

    I love it.

    Okay, now it makes more sense :D
    Funny enough I taught some of our kids a slightly similar technique (neck crank; not as a setup) a few weeks back, for their competition :)
    They agreed on the hurting :cool::rolleyes:

    You teach neck cranks to kids to use in comps??

    I should have put the "competition" in these "..."
    It was more of a show.
    It's called Self-Defense; they show three SD-techniques, they trained before and that's that.
    Kata in not entirely boring so to speak ;)

    Fair enough I'm wary to showing techs like that to kids whose bones are still growing, even low percentage stuff like cranks

    I can fully understand why.
    As soon as we let them "fight" when doing randori everything involving the neck is taboo, including chokes.
    Chokes will be allowed at a certain point, yes, but only when I know they are advanced and reasonable enough.

    Also, regarding chokes:
    Our grading program to white-yellow already says, we have to show them chokes.
    Something I'm not entirely comfortable with.
    The kids start age eight in that group, so they do understand how dangerous it could get and we are lucky enough to have mostly kids, of the kind I *think* they don't play with it, but there a couple or so nonetheless, who won't tap out*.
    I have these partnered with other kids, who would just let go anyway, but I still don't like it too much.

    * I let the kids that tried the choke do it on me, and they *did* work.

    Every single time we train these, I make sure they *know* what will happen, if I see a *single one* of them, that won't let go, if the partner taps out, even (s)he is hardly touched.

    Am not going near a Grovit!

    Last time I mentioned grovit to my team mates, 3 days later my Coach comes up to me and says
    "I over heard you talking about Grovits, I been thinking about it since. We're covering it today"

    Guess who was uke!

    First time someone put a grovit on me my neck popped one vertebrae at a time. Was quit pleasant in its way. :)
