Cuffing, Inside Corkscrews & Maulers
· Catching/Knuckle-Busting Over Cuffing vs. Straights—Why?
· But…if Hands Are Cheated to the Outside, We’ll Need Answers
· The New School Outside Parry
· The Un-Wisdom of the Elbow-Hinge aka Ball & Socket Parry
· This is why we do The Old-Timer’s Cuff
· The Cuff Target
· The Striking Surface
· The Mechanical Wisdom of the Turnover
o Same Power
o Smart Defensive Position
· Cuffs Set-Up 1-for-1 Inside Corkscrews
· We’ve not discussed saving the hands yet, so…
· Even better, Cuffs Set-Up Maulers
· Loaded Cuffs, Corkscrews & Maulers
Upright Scufflin’ Hellaciousness w/ Neck-Breakin’
Striking from the Single-Underhook/Crank Control & Neck-Breakin’
o [We build on the Street Single-Underhook detailed on RAW 219-221/Black Box 6-8]
o Head Posts to Hand-Posts
o Adding “The Rumple” [Cauliflowered ones such as myself haaate this bit of simplicity.]
o The Thorough-Brace Knee
o Returning to the Single-Underhook
o “Rumpling” to the “Bumpy Slide” to Crank Control
o The “Kissing” Knee [Quick, simple & malicious.]
o The Proper Way to Bar & Chancery Drop, no ifs, ands, or buts.
o Two Grounded Neck-Breakers that you can hit on asphalt with you being none the worse for wear.
o Two Standing Neck-Breakers for the Ground Adverse
o Why we grip as we do? Because we see the horizon of the next whipping brace of cranks if these haven’t deadened yet.
Vicious Weaponry: Grip Equalization for Tomahawk, Big Knife, Battle-Axe, & Bare-Knuckle
This is not grip-strengthening, strength will increase as an adjunct to these exercises, but grip as pure grip work in an old school manner will be addressed separately down the road.
o What is grip-equalization?
o Why the old-timers considered it wise.
o Grip equalization as re-hab/pre-hab for tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, lifter’s elbow and other like maladies.
o If you experience any elbow pain, likely it is a result of long-term grip-inequalities aided and abetted by inertia.
o Two Tests for Equal Grip
o The Fist
o The Monkey
Why Stretching/Mobility Exercises & Poorly Targeted Massage will exacerbate problems.
o Why we must kill exercise speed.
o Your tomahawk and combat inertia will provide the speed; the exercises provide the stable base to build the painless speed.
o 6 Exercises to Equalize Grip
o The Straight Turn
o The Bent Turn
o The Thumb Lift
o The Pinkie Lift
o The Loaded Turn
o The Straight Bye-Bye
