Spine Locks: Wringing out a towel. AKA more class notes.

Still in a wrestling chapter.

The Plate in question. 

Looking a the plays of Abrazare, today, we are on the spine lock,

Now, I included one of my famous warm ups as well, to help with context. Since the class room is a laboratory environment, it is easy to lose sight of when these actions can occur in a fight, and what the goals are.

The drill will speak for itself in the class room clip. Drills like this one are part of my abrazare (Close-in fighting for non-Italian speakers) classes to help the student learn the timing of these techniques, as well as to prepare them for a little bit of contact.

Now, I feel strongly that such things are important, and that with out such basic contact drills, students will require a much longer learning period.

In short, and to quote the master, you must know how to come to and advantageous grip.

Enjoy!
