Does anyone train lockflows with the stick? Do you practice grappling with the stick? Do you practice your throws and takedowns with the stick? Just curious. We use the stick just like an extension of our arm. When we are training our stick work and we move into close quarters we will use the stick to lock the guy up and take him down or use it as a leverage to throw the guy or even to choke the guy out.
Choke: He feeds angle 1 (left side of head/neck) you do inside deflection and check hand - back hand with stick to ribs - bring stick up under his arm on the outside and place it across the front of his throat - reach around his head and grab tip of stick with your left hand for choke.
Lock: He feeds angle 1 - you do inside deflection and check hand to armwrap - back hand with stick to ribs - then raise stick straight up and place just above his elbow for straight arm bar. ( you will keep his right hand/forearm trapped under your left arm and grab the stick with your left hand as well)
Throw: He feeds angle 1 - you do inside deflection and check hand- back hand with stick to ribs/armpit area - left hand will grab his right wrist- turn your body and pivot your feet using the stick to do an arm throw.
