Combination 87

Posted on June 30, 2026 by matt

This combination felt familiar. It’s reminiscent of Professor Kimo Ferreira’s technique ‘Parting Wings’ from Kempo-jutsu. The combination is a bit more elaborate, but was fun. The ending as written was a bit more dramatic, but we felt a punch after a neck break was a bit much. Thanks to Jesse Dwire for the submission.

Combination 98

Posted on June 27, 2026 by matt

The 90s were great. Grunge, the early days of the internet, and no cell phones. These 90s? You’ll have to make up your own mind. This combination came courtesy of GM Tim Wakefield, but I paraphrased his document to match the style of the site. So, if there’s an error, that’s definitely where it might have come in, but I don’t think there is. Thanks again to Chris Hatch, without whom this project would have been dead in the water. It’s been great getting together and picking each others’ brains to turn words on a page into movement.

Baby Crescent – Combination 81

Posted on June 25, 2026 by matt

I thought I had posted this one already. This combination has a fairly nice flow, and has a nice Kote Gaeshi style takedown. Chris and I have been giving the combinations nicknames to help us remember which is which, and the description included the term ‘baby crescent’ which really stood out to us. Be careful practicing this one at speed – the wrist lock is a takedown, but in practical application against someone without ukemi skills, it’s a wrist break. The lock with the feet combined with the rotation tends to provide a wrist, elbow and shoulder lock.
