11/06/2011 – Fundamentals of Standup Grappling Revisited

A very focused and compact session today, focusing on two very important concepts - the triangle point and controlling force vectors in order to disrupt equilibrium.  As regular readers may have noticed by now, we revisit old lessons a fair bit because you can never get enough of the fundamentals, and I am all about training rock-solid fundamentals.  As Daniel, one of my students, pointed out today, although in theory we 'know' this stuff, revisiting it time and time ago results in new lessons being learned all the time as practice deepens.  Good job to all today.

The homework assignment remains the same with regard to conditioning work.  As far as skills go, revise the solo biomechanical drills today - the butterfly hands and hip figure-8 drill, and the box step triangle point drill.

Train hard and see you all next Saturday.

Objectives

- Attacking and defending the triangle point

- Dominating the clinch – neck clinch and bodylock

- Hyperfunction versus dysfunction – facilitating versus forcing takedowns


Warmup

Intuflow beginner routine


Activity-specific Preparatory exercises

- Freestyle ground engagement on hard ground

- Butterfly hands mobility drill

- Grapevine saunter/box step triangle point drill

- Floating hip figure-8 mobility drill


Partner Drills

- Neck and body mixed pummelling

- Triangle point attack drill

- Lecture and demonstration: hyperfunction versus dysfunction; quantum gripping – parallel and concurrent forces

- Practice: renovated hip throw


Sparring

Neck and body pummelling to neck clinch control or bodylock-and-lift; modified round-robin format.
