Armlock Flow Drill

[Wastelander]

Hello, everyone!

My Sensei and I just made this video showing a simple armlock flow drill, using tuidi-waza from our kata. It doesn't teach how to do each individual lock, but rather how to transition from one technique to another in response to your opponent's resistance. I thought some folks here might find it useful!

I saw this on Facebook earlier (after Iain Abernethy shared it). Really like the look of this drill.

What is the kata and style it has come from as I would like to look into this a bit more?

Thanks! The initial armbar, and the shoulder lock, are both from Naihanchi. The straight-arm lock and throw are from Pinan Yondan. That said, with some slight modifications, you could use entirely techniques from Naihanchi.

Great video, great share Shows some good tuidi o-waza/oyo from Naihanchi and Pinan...

Another good concept to take away from this is taking waza from kata in pieces and practicing them with a partner in (a) controlled step-sparring drills, (b) controlled flow drills, and © free sparring drills. Then, take what was learned about said waza and put it back into the kata. This is a great way for students to grasp understanding what waza from kata are actually doing, what the waza are meant for, why they're doing it, etc...

Would it be ok if I share this with my instructor and post it on mine and the dojo I gotos facebook page?

Wow I missed this. Really cool looking drill. I use the shoulder lock shown here quite a bit and have for many years. This is a really good looking way to practice it. Glad you posted this, very cool!

Excellent video! Transitions are so often overlooked. It's good to seeing people really focusing on that aspect of the game.
