"People need to know why I'm falling"
I feel like just like how theres a go to term for the fast flashy bullshit demos like "speed cheating" we need one for takedowns that have real mechanics behind them but can only work if they refuse to change their footing to regain their balance.
This is a good example. I don't know if you're teaching this as a takedown, but the outside tie is a real and legitimate clinch and wrestling technique. So is blocking the knee.
I straight up forget the last time I've seen anyone actually be taken down while resisting with a knee tap. So much more has to be happening to set it up, and even then the knee tap itself is rarely what does it in my experience. That much is usually kind of a fluke. The tap itself is usually a set up to something more substantial like a knee pick, single leg, foot sweep, etc.
Misunderstanding of legitimate techniques seems to be a common byproduct of the kind of overthinking common among people who think of martial arts with the "internal" mindset. What actually makes contact with the enemy is a physical object imparting physical force. There's plenty of nuance in the how and why something works the way it does, but the act of rending it as abstract as calling it internal honestly comes across as a failure to conceptualize the mechanics at play fully.
Which is a shame. The focus on developing the core of the body, use of the hips as the center of gravity and driver of movement, etc. are all typical of the internal crowd's teaching....
And all also completely mainstream sports science. You will find all of those things being taught in high level combat sports instruction. They just actually work and can be taught more reliably, because they havent been mystified.
This is the 13th video in a 25-video series. I will be doing my best to address these and other points. But it simply cannot be done in a single video. The entire series will seek to demystify and show how these techniques can work against resistance by breaking different aspects down in single videos. The series will be finishing with fighting applications.
@@martialartpathThe fact that you have to *finish* with fighting applications is probably the best example here of mystification.
It's the martial equivalent of a "leadership seminar" or "listening session" in the business world.
Taking forever to make a point is not a virtue. It's an advanced layman's method of faking expertise.
@@qp9259 Person I'm working with in this particular video is a good wrestler, striker, fighter. Yes, he' is letting me setup the technique. But he's going down because his entire spine is locked up. I'm not going to break his spine and he's not going to resist against a spinal lock once it's in place and have it broken. I'm open to other suggestions you might have to better demonstrate this sort of thing that is easier to experience than see on video. If you have some helpful questions or suggestions for future videos let me know. My intention is to try to show the truth in some of these old ways that too often devolve into cosplay fantasy.
@@martialartpathWhen you put your arms in someone's face they typically move away from them.
Him not moving away is essentially the only thing letting you do this. You're basically showing how to fight a completely immobile opponent.
@@qp9259 Video #17 will go into specifics of creating momentary immobility by basing the spine. So that is a good enough point I am dedicating an entire video to it in this series. But please be respectful and have an open mind. I explained he is not letting me do this and I'm happy to address specifics questions. I'm trying to do so throughout this series. Good fighters offering resistance is the basis for the way I am breaking this down. If you have other questions or suggestions you can forward. And if it's a good question that I am not already planning on or have covered I will do so.
