bushido_man96 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 In DT club, we have a warm-up drill we do where we practice an armbar, then flow into a triangle choke, then flow into an omo plata. We used to do some lock flow in Hapkido, too. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Armstrong Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Lock flow practice can also highlight weakness in the body that need strengthening such as the neck/spine and shoulder blades. Also flexibility issues will stand out, that need to be worked on to make them more pliable such as wrists.There is also the idea to be not only stronger but more wirery also, by improving ones own range of motion in all directions possible.I view this as in four stages that can be improved upon.1) Normal range of motion when doing activities.2) Assisted range of motion when, from onself or from the help of another, without pain.3) Hyperextend range of movment, as when pain occurs momentarily by another person without damage 4) When dislocation, fracturing or breakage occurs and there is pain that doesn't stop for an extended amount of time.How we doing, is this all sounding painful or gainfully interesting?

Alan Armstrong Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Lock flow can also be used with weapons, when disarming and controlling the opponent.For example:Silat Knife entry and joint dislocations.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vTCb-m61Dps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
