Lock Flow?


Recommended Posts

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.

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?
