Thanks! Good to see Peter putting more out. He's one of the few people I keep tabs on.

Couldn't watch the clips for some reason.
From my limited experience with Peter both in person training and via online course I can honestly say that he has some of the deepest martial arts I've seen and felt.

Mix:

Only one clip there as far as I could see:
A few seconds of Ralston waffling re "learning about your bod, learning about yourself."

Ho hum.

[shawnsegler]

Definitely on my list of guys to train with at some point.

With a fast count I could see 27 clips to choose between. What browser do you use?


Some interesting stuff, throws, apps and principles. And free play. It reminds me of the shenwu with the focus on effortlesness and more free style boundaries. Nice approach.

Bao,
I see the list but can't seem to get them to play, what do you do ?

when i click on them nothinging happens but a tick comes up in the box. The vid on the left doesn't change, though the title underneath seems to..

strange

There should be a list of clips below as well. Click on the title of the clip you want and it queues up in the player. Press play.

It is really nice to see this stuff in action. Truly effortless!

Exact same thing happening here.

I'm using internet explorer for my browser. Wonder if firefox would help?

Geez, I'd really love to see that stuff!

[somatai]

try firefox....there is something on the website main page talking about the video issues

[Jake]

Yeah, Thanks!

Just switched over to firefox and had no problems seeing all the vids!

Great stuff!

What strikes me most about his play is its incredibly loose quality, I can only imagine how it looked years ago.

[fuga]

They certainly get their feet moving to control the engagement.

Yes, he doesn't seem to rely on the peng/structure model as much as many people these days. Too bad that aspect of IMA gets overemphasized. Nothing wrong with it of course, but it gets touted as the only way a bit too much. Ralston shows what the other side can do when fully explored.

If I can just elaborate a little on what Formosa is saying, Ralston actually advocates using no strength at all. His whole power comes from compression of the limbs through the body into the ground. He may be the softest martial artist in the world. He literally just rests has hands on you and uses his body to do the rest. Its a strange feeling.
