We will explore MT clinch as means to get into other types of clinches and use elbows and knees to open distance from grappling range and prepare for Ninjutsu underhook.
The session will start with Ninjutsu kamae followed by the himum. We finish the session with full contact Randori.
A video summery of this session will be uploaded to Ninjutsu training in video category in the AKBAN wiki.
We will try to cram as many MT ‘clinch to wrestling clinch’ techniques. At the training sessions following this one we will delve deeper and connect these techniques with Fudo Ryu Jutaijutsu.
For one of our favorite holidays, Shavuot, the whole crew here at the academy wishes all and everybody a happy holiday.
