"Things I don't look to do
*Punch while being mounted: don't want to go there, better to keep him wrestling.
*Reach under or between the legs while mounted: Triangle Choke City.
*Escalate the confrontation while being mounted: They are in the better position to give it back to you."
Uechi is a defensive style, we have no interest in proving anything against those UFC guys in a sport contest. Self defense will be against the average street punk who will not be able to deal with our "techniques of doom" from our traditional system.
I will say that controlling an enemy's balance while standing is quite possible and a focus of WCK this is our first line of offence against going down.
If you steal his balance he cannot take you down.
In extremely simple terms it's a variant of controlling the 'clinch.' To control the 'clinch' means you prevent the opponent from stealing your balance by doing it to him first.
After attempting my slow clumsy trap and buck, I'd start eating punches. I would then try Laird stuff. I would grab the back of the guys head by the hair (both hands)and try and pull him into a head butt.
Another question to the dedicated groundfighters out there , when you talk of reaching up and grabbing , how are you actually meaning , I`m under the Impression to never extend your arms to far , are you meaning under there arms and around ? , does this lesson their options ?
