fireka Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 are there really very many styles (with the exception of Caporniea) that flip? does Ninjitsu flip? what is the advantage in flipping, i see it as a slow mauver that makes you a mid air target.

delta1 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 are there really very many styles (with the exception of Caporniea) that flip? I flip a lot- usually when I want to start a fight! Actually, I've seen some interpretations of Tai Chi where they use flippy, spinny, somersaulting moves. Just goes to show how diverse and flexable TCC is. But I wouldn't do it that way.

battousai16 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 on top of making for some very pretty and neat looking techniques, you can also flip to get out of joint locks and such.

delta1 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I know you can roll to get out of some locks, but I've never done, or seen, a flip to escape a lock. I guess anything's posible... . Freedom isn't free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battousai16 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 they both work, but mine is prettier "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta1 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 For standing wrist locks, we try to move and fold the arm in such a way as to relieve pressure on the joint while maintaing good ballance and position. Often you can convert the escape to a strike, or make it a simultaneous strike. Sometimes you can reverse the lock if you time it right. But I'm not too sure about fliping a lock. Maybe if I see it in the next Matrix video I might be convinced... . Freedom isn't free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorinryu Sensei Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Kicking the M-F trying the wristlock seems to work most times as well. If you're able to kick with a wristlock applied, then the guy doing the wristlock isn't doing it correctly. Since I know you like to argue JerryLove, here's why. When a wristlock is applied it puts tremendous torque/pressure on your wrist which bends you over to try to relieve some of the torque/pressure. Raising your foot off the ground to kick causes you to either lean in to, or away from the person, which will put even MORE torque/pressue on the wrist, which in turn will cause you even MORE pain..possibly even damaging your wrist severely. And even if you were able to kick without shifting your body one way or the other, the applicator of the wristlock should be able to easily apply more pressure on the lock if he sees your foot attempting to leave the ground, and that will stop that kick very quickly. Assuming of course, he knows what he's doing. Since I'm not in Florida to demonstrate this technique to you, and apparently whomever is applying one on you that allows you to kick him isn't doing it correctly...I'd suggest that you find a school that does tuitte or aikido type techniques and have them properly demonstarate this to you.
