And I will contunue to stick with that statment untill someone prooves to me otherwise. I have stated repetedly what I'm calling stance training. You have repetedly ignored, or mis-read, every thing I and other stance beleivers say on the subject.
I'm not going to video myself rolling. The only way I can validate myself would be to roll with you. As we don't live in the same neck of the woods, that ain't likely to happen. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
Nope. I'm declairing that stance work is the reason I'm hard to take down. I have been taken down since I got serious about stance training. But it usually happens after I get tiered or make a blunder. There's no point in circling each other endlessly, some one has to break it up. As I'm very good at keeping thier attacks from working, I have to launch some of my own. At which point, they can use the same tricks on me that I used on them.:D
olympic class judo athletes regularly get taken down.
D1 wrestlers also get taken down regularly.
Too bad they don't train stances.
Exactly! It is just ridiculous.

Try taking someone down when you can't get any viable momentum, Mr. 30 years.
Lots of takedowns that don't rely much on "momentum," proper. Trips, picks, taps, blocks, etc.
Becca, it sounds to me like two things:
1. You're basically learning how to stay on your feet, much the same way that any Judoka or wrestler would do. You're calling it "stance training." Grappling types call it "not getting thrown/taken down." No biggy.
2. I'm guessing your field of sparring partners does not include any dedicated, experienced, stand-up grapplers. No offense, but that's how it comes across to me.
Wait a minute! Before you said you never went to the ground unless you started there. Which is it?
Takedowns aren't about the attacker's momentum, they are about the attacker setting up the defender by changing changing levels, creating angles, and forcing the defender to shift his weight or move one way or the other.
By your posts, you reveal that you are not really training against grapplers, but against other clueless students in your class.
I suppose wrestlers do all this while levitating to the opponent? :rolleyes:
They do stances as we know them. Stance is position and footwork.
