RISING ABOVE THE REST
HAND CONTROL
HAND CONTROL SETUP
THEORY
THROUGH CONTROL OF THE OPPONENTS HANDS IN A TACTFUL MANNER ONE SEEKS TO PUT THE OPPONENTS BODY OUT OF POSITION TO EXECUTE A TAKE DOWN.
STEPS
0. THE BASIC HAND CONTROL SETUP IS GRABBING BOTH WRISTS OF THE OPPONENT AND FLINGING THEM OPEN TO CLEAR THE WAY FOR A SHOT.
1. WHILE IN GOOD POSITION GAIN WRIST CONTROL WITH A MINIMAL TIME SPENT GRASPING AND FLING THE WRISTS. WHEN FLINGING THE WRISTS ONE SEEKS TO MAINTAIN ONES HANDS IN POSITION IN EFFORTS NOT TO OPEN ONESELF UP.
2. THIS SET UP IS DONE WITH SPEED, TACT AND STRENGTH IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE TAKEDOWN IS TO BE EXECUTED RIGHT AFTER THE FLING OF THE WRISTS.
BARRIERS
1. BRINGING THE ARMS OUT OF POSITION EXPOSING YOURSELF.
2. TELEGRAPHING THROUGH REPETITIVE ATTEMPTS
3. A SLUGGISH EFFORT AT THE SET UP.
4. FAILING TO EXECUTE DURING THE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY
PRIMARY CONTROL POINT
-BOTH WRISTS
SPECIAL NOTE- THE ABOVE IS YOUR BASIC HAND CONTROL SETUP BUT THERE ARE MANY OTHER VARIATIONS OF HAND CONTROL SETUPS THAT CAN BE DONE WHILE MAINTAINING THE BASIC IDEA OF THE AXIOMS. HAND CONTROL SET UPS ARE GREAT FOR CHAINING AS WELL.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TACTFUL- BEING OTHER THAN STRAIT FORWARD IN THE ATTEMPT AS TO MASK YOUR INTENTION.
MASK- TO COVER OR HIDE
SLUGGISH- MOVING LIKE A SLUG
CHAINING- LINKING MOVES TOGETHER (SEE SET UP FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION)
BARRIERS- THINGS THAT SLOW OR STOP WHAT ONE SEEKS TO ACHIEVE.
TELEGRAPHING- MOVING IN A WAY THAT IS OBVIOUS TO ONES OPPONENT.
WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY- THE TIME FRAME FOR OPTIMAL EXECUTION OF A MOVE.
EXECUTE/EXECUTION- THE ACT OF DOING A PARTICULAR MOVE
