OSCILLATING the Whip

Postby Walk the Torque on Thu Jun 18, 2009 5:13 am

Ok, I'm having a lot of fun lately with combing whippy striking with sequential oscillation of force. I have tried this marriage in the past but it seems to have really come together now. What I'm interested in though, is whether others have worked it into their grappling?

I think you'll find exactly what you're looking for here- http://shopifs.myshopify.com/products/the-combat-clinch

Not only is Kevin a top-notch Systema instructor but he has a steep background in grappling under big names. Add in his amazing likeability and you won't go wrong.

there's a guy in sydney who teaches Mian Quan who is apparently extraordinarily skillful, with a strong focus on "linking force" which sounds something like what you're talking about. I don't know if you've met him yet but he is rated very highly by some of the guys here http://www.yangmian.com

(here as in Canberra)

Well, maybe YOU spell it that way. I'm not here to debate linguistics, but I will say in our style we spell it a little bit differently. If that's the way you spell it and it works for you, then I guess that's all that really matters...

Oscillating is the correct spelling in English.

Oscillation is the repetitive variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a point of equilibrium) or between two or more different states. Familiar examples include a swinging pendulum and AC power. The term vibration is sometimes used more narrowly to mean a mechanical oscillation but sometimes is used to be synonymous with "oscillation." Oscillations occur not only in physical systems but also in biological systems and in human society.

Yeah, I know it doesn't matter. I'm just a spelling/grammer Nazi.

lol it was pretty awesome, actually.

WtT - do you mean whip-like strikes in grappling? Or wave-like, back and forth movements in grappling?
