To learn to escape and stay free try this drill as well: Have a partner or two hold one fist or anything else he wishes and have them attack you with it as you evade and move to stay away from tension. This sounds silly but can work well for anyone serious enough to get…

A nice game for the kids and older kids is the three legged tangle. You need to have both feet on the ground and one hand as well. With a partner you move each other so they have to place more or less limbs on the floor and see what you can do without loosing…

The breath is like a wave going through the body up and down and in and out. We can use this wave to adjust our position and level of activation by letting the wave carry the over tension or fill us with energy when needed. For example if you are in the static push up…

Make a fist and place it against a wall or the floor and apply some weight to it. Note where you feel the tension and if it is local or spreads toward the forearm and arm to compensate for the loss of stability. Do this with different angles on hard surfaces which give you true…

Walk together side by side and have either one stop on the spot and have the other stop alongside him without twisting or tensing up to relocate the forward energy. This teaches to walk without leaning and can be done in many variations (forward, sideways, backwards, blindfolded and so on). You can start with arms…

Start with a hitting drill as you close distance and hit (and keep walking) and go back for counts. For example you walk toward each other and exchange one hit as you keep walking and break contact distance. Than you close and hit each other twice and break and so on to fifteen and back…
