Indigenous Ability

  A year of self-quarantining and likely continued caution into the foreseeable future has left many to their own devices regarding leisure, study, training and other like enterprises that are commonly thought of as being group-dependent, or hands-on tutor necessary. We would all agree that group dynamics are mighty useful for anything from tennis-doubles to wrestling practice. But, we would also likely agree that many a tennis champion past, present, and future has a ready repertoire of solo drills within his or her grasp that allow them to continually hone their game. The handball player has wall-return practice, the range-bereft shooter has dozens upon dozens of dry-fire drills, the striker has everything from bags to mirrors to, well, his own shadow. Quarantined or not the player, shooter or combatant that requires the presence of others to sharpen the saw is at a deficit in comparison with the individual who will train with and/or without good fellows to share time w...

  I offer this for my Old-School Trinity Warriors who see engagement and tempering of Mind-Body-Sprit as co-equal and unified enterprises, where a lag in one is a lag in all—no one would train only the left side of the body and allow the right side to lie fallow.

That is, slip into new garments to see how they wear and discover whether we may want to add new colors and perhaps a scarf with flair to our well-worn wardrobe. Just as one may stay with a family for a week and find some of their habits curious-from rising ti...

  Crew, we all know the clinch game is a huge part of both the sport and the down & dirty side of vicious rough ‘n’ tumble. We wanna make this game as wise and wicked as we can while not working against ourselves. The following “spear” or palm-turnover is just one of many tiny tweaks we can make towards the wise and wicked ways of old. Below you’ll find the complete syllabus where this material came from.
