Sharon Friedman – Vigilance and Tranquility

A lot of people freeze when one of their legs are “taken” by their partner.Try first leaning one leg on the wall and checking what you can do with this. How you can move, twist, lower and bounce and so on. Next put your leg in one room and check what you can do with one leg out the door, it can change the way you treat a glance or a sweep. Next have a partner take your leg and walk. Your job is to stay calm and move with him with the least amount of motion posible. After that add the partner trying to fell you using walking and body turns and develop it as you go. After that work on taking the person who is holding you down as he holds your leg. remember that where he holds you there is tension. To finish this drill try to escape using just your body and later on your limbs as well. Do not fight, use what works.
