Joint Combatives Class: Saturday Morning Group – 29/08/2015


Theme
Use of RMA pedagogy to supercharge kali-based combatives.
Objectives
  • Introduce fundamentals of RMA
    • Structure
Interaction of musculoskeleture to create mechanically strong shapes appropriate to task at hand.
    • Breathing
Use of breath to regulate emotional and physiological states, to enhance strength and to drive motion.
    • Selective Tension
Control of tensional states to facilitate intended actions, eg. power generation, resistance, redirection, escape.
    • Poise
Seamless transition between successive situation-appropriate structures leading to good combative movement.
  • Illustration of basic applications of fundamentals with basic RMA drills
  • Adaptation to Kali-based combatives
  • BONUS:  Fence Basics
Intro to 4 Fundamentals
Structure
  • Explanation: As above
  • Illustrations: Kali Angle #2 block, boxer’s straight right, two-hands shove, Triangle point of weakest stance integrity; Upper body force couples
  • Drills: Marionette/Bee Sting drill; Triangle point manipulations.
Breathing
  • Explanation: As above
  • Illustrations: Burst breathing to regulate heart rate, power breathing for lifting and striking power, assisted passive/flow breathing for force absorption
  • Drills:  Bodylock Spinal Readjustment drill;  Slow Callisthenics; Shock Absorption.
Selective Tension
  • Explanation: As above
  • Illustrations: Ballistic strikes, grapple escapes, blending redirections
  • Drills: Pushing drill – static and walking; pushing drill variation w/live blade; grapple escapes; sticky hands variations
Poise
  • Explanation: As above
  • Illustrations: GROUND ENGAGEMENT, Trinity attacks, dependent attacks, zoning.
  • Drills: Dependent striking; Trinity striking; GROUND ENGAGEMENT; zoning drills – single-step (Zombie) to multiples (Ghost – stay close without touching)
Adaptations to Kali
  • Illustrate tweaks to techniques taught using
  • Blending
  • Heavy strikes
  • Trinity attacks to structure
  • Stance integrity manipulations
  • Any other principles
Note: Disarm not always practical.  Gain and maintain control of weapon limb and attack the MAN.
Fence
    • What is it?
      • Physical, verbal, cognitive barrier between opponent and yourself.
      • Unconscious (subtle) vs Conscious (explicitly trying to take control of situation, whether simply with dialogue or with physicality also).
      • Creates space to allow you perception and reaction time.
      • Feeler for both optimum striking range as well as opponent’s intent.
        • If Fence touched three times, GO.
Three types
  • Pleading
  • Staggered
  • Exclamation
Attacking off the Fence
  • Kali - clear hands, step off-line, attack from outside line
  • Two-hands shove - structure and power generation; can be used solo or to enhance any of the following
  • Boxing - one-two/two-three 
  • Kickfighting - create space and round/straight kick
  • Grappling - establish grips, control and reposition for lock, choke or takedown
