David Lin Seminar Recap

[Meat Shake]

Awesome. I feel like I got hit by a train.
Started at 9 AM, went till 1 PM. Covered assorted throws, controls, entries.
2-6 was a "tournament"... " " because no ranks were awarded, to keep it more civil. I really liked it. After 3 seconds of being on the ground without making someone tap, Paul (sifu that hosted the seminar/tourney) would run in and start beating on both of them. It was great. :)
Well worth the $.

My personal favorite had to be one of the shoulder strike/ leg siezing techniques. I also liked the the shouldering tech. we learned... Lots of bad ass stuff to learn. Plus went to Tai Chi People with our Sifu and met Shifu Hwang, a very nice man.

Yesterday was a great day:D

Shoulder strike with leg seizing sounds cool, care to explain it?
I practice it with an elbow to the neck or face.

Kinda like shouldering from taiji... just kinda come under the punch and shoulder charge their ribs, and sieze their leg.
I think. There were a few ways... :confused:

Inner leg hooking is always fun. I like that one. That and Shaving. Some of my favorites.

Shoulder striking is fun. WD and I played a little with that last class. Neat how you can walk a guy backwards with shoulder strikes during freewrestling. It's almost as cool as the Raise or the Cannonball, in my book.

Anyhow, you guys are very lucky to have a chance to meet up with David Lin. The man is scary, and in that good way. His arms look like support beams wrapped with steel cables. Crazy.

Maybe it's time for a "What's your favorite throw" thread, eh?

i'm jealous.

I participated in a David Lin seminar perhaps 4 years ago.

I've suggested to my jujitsu teachers that it would be a good seminar to bring to town, especially since we're so close to ATL.

The karate/jujitsu guys had never heard of SJ.

entry sounds like 'slant flying' with the variant of picking up the leg. Where did you take the throw???

Out to a fancy dinner then back to my place.

bah dum dum

We just worked into leg seizing, then stopped. All the throws from there suck, (to be thrown, great if you are the thrower) so we didnt work them. No one particularly felt like landing on their face over and over.

That shoulder strike, care to explain it better? U just seize one leg?

[Meat Shake]

Do you know what shouldering from Taiji is?
Same thing.. come from the outside, shoulder their ribs to push them back, and scoop their lead leg at about the knee while shouldering. Pick up their leg, and you have tons of options as to what to do with them.
