Excellent we used to do this practice. In tomiki aikido ( back when it was actually a judo Aikido hybrid)
Now they just seem to wrestle badly over a foam knife thingy . They block , avoid, counter badly .
Then later in life when working as a prison officer . I introduced this to the self defence training.
It was , is and always will be an excellent practice.
A lot harder keeping it soft than it looks .
Very good!
Wish I could have seen it.
Don’t have instagram never will
Not going to Instagram. Don’t want to give Zuckerberg more power
My girlfriend reckons that your humour is bordering on dad jokes, but I reckon it’s great…keep it up!
As a dad, I approve this message.
Interesting. Never did any training stuff like that.
Awesome
I’m absolutely interested in learning the flow drills
The nearly flawless transitions, are art in motion
I really enjoy lower intensity/flow rolling to build up reaction speed and fluency of recall. In the newsletter that accompanied this video, Trav called out that flowing is hard to find analogy for because while you *are* trying to do your techniques, you’re also allowing your opponent to react and defend without trying to overpower them.
To me, the analogous practice is improv, think Who’s Line Is It Anyway? Each performer is trying to make a scene or “win” a game, but they have to guide the game to the ends they want through clever word play or conceptual leaps. The partners’ are trying to do the same so it ends up being a very dynamic interplay where you are trying to exert your will, but you must accept what your partner is doing also.
