Rich67 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I don't understand your question. Resist what? Cheesburgers? Or training? If you are "resisting" training, I don't know what he is likening that to...does that mean you refuse to learn? Or what? Please clarify...

Beiner Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 okay; What I mean is when were praticing throws, I am supposidly not letting the thrower do it easily enough, Im sort of fighting the throw, or hold. Which I dont see as A bad thing, but I also am not erally controlling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Resisting during drills is considered bad. When learning a throw the point is of mutual benefit which is not gained by fighting the throw. Try relaxing, don't straight arm or stiffen up, shuffle stances etc. Once you learn the throw, then you can start adding resistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich67 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 ^ correct. When you are training with a partner in the dojo environment, it is best to just "go with the flow", and let the person learn the technique. Granted, it is always best to train with a little resistance. But if you completely stonewall a person it can cause injury to one or both of you. Now, if you are training one-on-one before or after class during some open-mat time, there is nothing at all wrong with resisting more than you would normally to give the person a feel for real-world applications. But during training, go over easy. Mixed Martial Artist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Warlock Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Posing resistance during 'training' encourages students to rely on strength, rather than technique.

Jerry Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Don't be afraid to fall. You get taught how to fall don't you? When being thrown, think about working on your falling technique rather than "being thrown". I usually end up being the demo puppet when my trainer wnats to show the class a new move.
