James Williams sensei, Nami ryu on effective grasping

[@AirAdventurer194]

Wonderful video, Sensei!

[@SystemOfStrategy]

Thank you Jeffrey.

It's funny, in modern budo, we learn to grab this way but we never learn why we grab this way. This koryu methodological perspective is always quite enriching.

[@BACCHUS777]

Fascinating as it is informative. Excellent video, thank you.

Good video sensei. Was wondering if you've ever had an opportunity to play in an action movie? Good to see you on again sensei..

[@jknifeguy3043]

I really appreciate Mr Williams' use of anatomical terminology. Do you have s background in medicine as well?

[@9SS94Cr]

I won't be surprised if he is certified to some degree, but traditionally you are supposed to learn martial art and medical arts at the same time--so you know how to break things effectively, and also how to fix them if needed. I'm trying to teach myself anatomy, too.

[@SystemOfStrategy]

I have studied anatomy, I was able to take a number of live tissue medics courses early on in the GWOT as well. Anatomy has also been apart of the study of classical Samurai military arts.

[@DeadBoysTwo]

You'd be hard pressed to find a diligent edge weapons practitioner that hasn't studied anatomy to some extent. Not only does it increase one's understanding of body mechanics, it also helps distinguish what cuts cause which results. Learning things like arteries are usually on the inside of limbs and veins on the outside. Which could in turn be the difference between a mechanical target, say the bicep, and a lethal target like the brachial artery that runs parallel to it on the arm. In short, any edged(or otherwise) weapons instructor worth their salt has probably studied anatomy.
