battousai16 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 alright, my nak bop sucks. when i get thrown around, i land in the position ok, but i guess i "think heavy". when i land, my instructor says i land "as if he were throwing a wet dog", and he advised me to relax. now, i'm sure this is probably just a lack of experience with being thrown in the air and such, but i have a bit of trouble doing that... particularly when i'm upside down in the air rushing towards the ground.... ahem, anyway. is there anything y'all think about to "think light" and stay relaxed? or is this something that time and practice will just work out?

tufrthanu Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I have trouble with my nakbup as well...my problems had more to do with not being in a ball or some crap like that...its probably best if you do as little thinking as possible while being thrown...that way your body will naturally flow into the right position.

SevenStar Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 just keep practicing. This is normal - we walk around on two feet...to be thrown off of them and on to the ground is unnatural for us and we tend to resist it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battousai16 Posted December 7, 2004 Author Share Posted December 7, 2004 ah, i suppose i should have gathered that there wouldn't be a "get it now" scheme. thanks for the help, y'all.

username9 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I have problems too because I have a bad shoulder - I am always conscious of getting thrown on it! And here is the other thing - I trust higher grades more than lower grades - even though the higher grades know more "dangerous" throws. It is because of the technique I guess...

tufrthanu Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Yeah plus there is some expectation that they can vary the force of the throw...or stop their movement totally if you should happen to start to move the wrong way.

Sight for Sore Eyes Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 just what is nakbup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battousai16 Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 it's a korean term for "falling techniques". bassically you land from throws in positions where you wont break anything, or so that you can roll up from it. it dosen't prevent all injury, but enough so that you can get up and walk away instead of going to the ER.

Sight for Sore Eyes Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 so, would this be similar to techniques used in Aikido? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
