Well, I did warn everyone,,, pain was on the agenda. In order to understand the effect your trchniques will have on another person,, you must feel what it can do when applied. So ,, Yes,, it hurt today. But we will survive. A little soarness will persist for a few days but no damage was done. There is a different between pain and damage. We will specialize in both, but for now we will work in the pain zone. Most people will avoid being in pain, and for some reason most peoeple will avoid putting others in pain. This becomes clear when people attempt techniques designed to cause pain (and/or damage) The person skirts the "pain Zone" in order to not place another in pain. We must get past this, in order to defeat an opponent — pain will be required.
So today we practiced some very basic, but very effective techniques that are designed to create a substantial amount of pain. The Koto and the osaidori. The koto is a wrist locking technique that most teach as a throw, but in the real world it is applied as a break that proceeds into a throw. It is surprisingly effective and generates a substantial amount of pain and torque allowing for the desired results,,,, which is pretty much the destruction of the wrist and arm. But lets not get into that right now. Today we practiced this technique in a "nice and easy manner". Slow enough to get the hand position and technique down, and also to reduce any damage that can and will result from an aggressive application of the Koto.
Next we learned to apply the Osaidori. This also produces a surprising amount of pain and control on someone. It is a bit more complicated than the koto and requires a bit more practice and skill to produce the desired effects. Control of the bones in the hand and the lining up of the bones in the arm and shoulder require some practice. But once this is perfected this technique will become a "go to" more for many.
In each of these two techniques the hand control is important but the proper coodinated movement of the entire body and legs is necessary. But how does one get the person to give up their arm or hand for the techiques. Fortunately in a fight,, people will be trying to hit and grabs us. And they typically use their hands to perform these actions. But we must distract them from our intent to destroy these items,, that they so graciously donate to us. So we utilize many of the techniques that we have been practicing for the past few months. The blocks and escape moves will direct the arms into the very position that we want them to be. And the stuns and strikes that we aim at some nasty targets will give us the time and distractions to allow the manipulation that we need. Fighting is nothing more that creating gaps in time and distractions that allow us the access to more,,,, game ending techniques. Understand the Koto is not the main goal of the fight but can be utilized if it presents itself.
Motorboat and Finger-licking-good enjoyed practicing these techniques,,, as the squeels of delight were evident. Well, maybe they were screetches of pain. But they were smiling afterward. We took turns disabling the other and defending against grabs and attacks. Chief and Goodell arrived from rucking just in time to have Chief feel the effectiveness of the Koto, while cupcake looked on from the side.
Contra arrived just in time for our prayer and we were joined by a bunch of ruckers (Manhands, Perogi, Chief, Goodell, Bigmean,Cupcake, Crack) Sorry if I forgot to include anyone from the ruckers
Thank you for allowing me to train with you fine men. The fun is just beginning and i promise more pain to come. We welcome anyone that wants to learn and train in these art forms.
