Tegumi

This thread follows on from the discussion of Tegumi in the Instructor's section.

Tegumi means different things to different people, many interpret it as 'flow drills' with constant contact. I dont see it as this, I think of it and have had it explained and shown to me as 'freeplay' stand up wrestling, constant contact using our weight, centre line theory, push/pull, drop/raise principles etc etc - distinctly different from some of the in flavour flow drills (which are excellent but different IMO).

It then develops to include gripping of muscle, PPs, locks, trips, submissions and traps etc etc. but it does not contain striking per say - until its combined with tode, then we have old style karate, covering all ranges but with limited groundwork.

interesting can you get any links on this ?

[ukshorinryu]

re links im assuming you mean on the net? If thats the case information on tegumi is rare at best.

The information I have mentioned was passed to me by my seniors and is based on my own training - it is my interpretation of tegumi supported by my research, nothing more im afraid.

;D
