Way of getting up

[wheeze]

[jaymac]

lol wheeze. If I can keep getting up after a whole night of take downs, then I am just greatful

[getawaytkd]

yes, i guess the spin a roony is what i meant

[parkerlineage]

Again, I say, it's called Dragon Climbs the Pillar in Kung Fu - that's where it came from, though it may be in capoeria, too.

[getawaytkd]

how do u do it?

[elbows_and_knees]

spin a runny?

probably not. but i can do the kip up

Actually, yeah, that's it. But it was called "dragon flares it's tail"

all of those methods are no good for real fighting though... the most practical way of getting up that I've seen, I learned in bjj. I don't feel like explaining how to do it (all that typing) but I saw a pic of it a while back. I'll try to find it.

yeah, capoeira has it. I doubt they got it from china though - it was just a method they devised.

Capoeira probably has it, but in capoeira, they usually try never to let their back touch the ground, so i assume its not a favored technique, but just a way of getting up.

As for myself, i can only roll, but thats not hard at all, you can learn it is probably a half hour. Once you get it though, its really usefull.

that's true. I didn't type it though, since it really wasn't pertinent to the thread. Since it's been brought up though, I really haven't seen any break falls yet - they try to catch themselves if they fall, as you mentioned. The limbs may touch the ground, but the core never should. this goes against pretty much all breakfalling methods I've seen.

I've always wanted to be able to do the flip up (The Rock used to do it to get up) but I wouldn't know where or how to start.
