the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

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)

Thanks I-Mon. I'll look into this.

it's spelled OSCILLATING

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.

Do you mean spelling/grammar Nazi?

Doh!

That was pretty fucking embarrassing.

Your papers are now in order.

This thread is where all the mean girls hang out.

lol it was pretty awesome, actually.

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