Challenge to virtual rolling

[xo-karate]

I played a game of virtual bjj chess against my self. I was an attacker and a defender - changed sides after one move. It was fun. Might be a little unrealistic as I don't really know could I have pulled all the moves - and some solutions depended on what images I found on internet:-)

BUT I think I studied different posibilities and I think I learned something.

(Can't roll due to my shoulder so virtual rolling is one option to keep on learning.)

OK here are the rules for "virtual rolling":

1) No resistance like in flow roll drill, but you can start your counter prior to where previous move ends. (So you can let me grip or catch my arm and counter from there.)

2) Move is as long as you think it could be in rolling. (This is not so much about winning than learning.)

3) It's ok to pass.

4) Have to have an image of the position - or close enough with explanation.

(I have today and tomorrow to play one round. And after weekend I can play another.) I think it will take about 1 hour to make one move if the players are online the same time. (Could include chat or notes to explain how to move is done.)

Played one round from closed guard yesterday - it's on my blog. Today I will search similar situations from real matches and compare what has happend:-)

You are very wellcomed to develop further the idea of virtual rolling. (One would be to take snapshots and test the situations with a real partner:-) One would be to have two virtual characters that could be moved to positions where you want them to be - maybe even controlled online and same time. (Have to search if there is an application for that:-)

My time zone is UTC+2. But I can play "offline" too if someone wants to have a go. (This is totally experimental!!! I do not know what is going to happen. Rules have to be adjusted during the roll.)

This could be the starting point and challenger can move first and select the player.

So what happens next?

What about a collective play? What would the next move be?

How would you attack? or escape?

How would you attack right arm of the guy with black gi? What is the next move?

(I'll be in Norway until Tuesday 28 so feel free to play the game forward if it starts to roll.)

Started a new match, but I am playing it in my blog.

Started from open guard under and using 3Ds Max biped figures as puppets to show the moves. (Helps, but not very clear, what is happening:-)

Every time I scroll past this thread, it makes me think there's a need for a martial arts card game - you know, like Magic: The Gathering. I suppose with some sort of programming skill, it could become a computer-based game as well.

Not quite the same, but dig up Lunch Money, card game with the laughs and it's the school yard brawl to get your lunch money.

I am sure that somewhere is an environment where you can share controls of a 3D puppet - you can play online almost anything:-)

Looked at Lunch Money on wikipedia - thank you for educating me - I did know that there was that kind of card game.
