Saturday Morning Systema - Bridge and Structure Revisited

Decided to revisit the concept of bridging as applied in RMA on Saturday, and also introduce the concept of ball movement, ie. moving the body as a point mass, as I've been paying less attention to footwork than I should have lately.


Objectives

-  attacking and defending structure in the bridge for infighting


Warmup


-  IntuFlow basic routine

- Fist-walking on partner’s body

- ‘Forty-fives’ squats - 5-second holds at 1/3 down and 2/3 down x 3, followed by 5 squats with empty lungs.


Shock Absorption Through Structure


- Partner pushing drill with fists

- Partner pushing drill with legs (versus body and legs)

- Strike absorption versus fists

- Strike absorption versus kicks


Forcing Movement, Absorbing Through Movement

- Wave movement vs Ball movement

- Partner displacement through pushes, passive resistance

- Partner displacement through pushes, active resistance

- Partner displacement through strikes, passive absorption through footwork


Bridge and Clinch Fighting Drills

- Defending the Bridge - pushes

- Defending the Bridge - strikes

- Defending the Bridge - blades




Reciprocal Sparring


- Reciprocal and continuous 1-step sparring with each attack counting as one step
