sensei8 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Tuite training in Shindokan for our Yudansha's are known as "Air Miles" and this is due to the amount of throws/sweeps that Yudansha's are taught/trained in. The lower the Yudansha rank, the more Air Miles. Why? The higher the Yudansha is in rank, the more counters/reverses that are availible to them, therefore, the lower ranked Yudansha's are more apt to be thrown by the higher ranked Yudansha's.Knowing what is coming is not always a good thing. From many hours of practice, every Shindokan karateka knows that he/she is once again about to be on the receiving end of a very fast Tuite throw/sweep. Up, up, and away...No...these Air Miles can't be turned in for any rewards! How many here can relate to this and be a member of the Air Miles club? **Proof is on the floor!!!
tallgeese Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Quite a bit. I've been uke-ed all over the place by multiple instructors so often I forget what it's like to train and not get cranked on. I've been thrown, swept, knifed, clubbed, and had joints cranked till I'm sure I never want to train again. But I still do. It's actually a good thing, the more you feel the movements, the better it makes your representation of them if you're that kind of learner. Be happy about it and take some more ibuprofen is my thought on it. On an off note, it's part of the reason I enjoy BJJ so much. It's all the fun of working stuff but not as much impact with the mat or small joint pain. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww
bushido_man96 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I've been there, as well. Especially with Combat Hapkido, we try to make sure that we finish more and more on the ground. But, its all give and take, too; my partner knows that I get a turn after he does. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
