This is a great demo of BJJ/submission wrestling tempo wrestling or "slow flo". It's a demo and great safe way to train. It's live, but medium resistance. It teaches you how to flow and see things. It takes the "ego" out of the equation. It's the closest thing BJJ has to Kata.

Its funny, you can just tell when its "real," even though its "slo flo," versus when all you get is "slo flo" and there's little real about it.

Food for discussion:

I don't think this is BJJ's kata. In fact, I think it could be argued from reading Kano that this is what randori *should* be.

The individual technique drills are actually more in line with the concepts of kata, and what you do with actual Judo kata and uchikomi (the cooperative paired throwing exercises that you do up and down the mats), which incidentally Kano saw as a type of kata.

Plus the BJJ self defense stuff, which pretty much is kata.

Alright,forget the word "kata"! I'm not that serious about definitions. Just failure for a better word to describe it.

It's just cool stuff.

I think it's really cool. I'm going to talk for a second about what I've been involved in lately. But what I see here, is what I think Aikido people are trying to do, but unfortunately most of them are so far away from actual usable skill, that what they do is way gayer. It's a really fun practice (to train and play like this) but if you don't some times have to go aginst someone who is really trying to, "do you wrong" the practice loses all its meaning. It's a nice clip, and really in the spirit of martial arts training.

It's a training method. A drill, but the key is "innovation" and adaption. A step up from a static drill. It's training the mind just as much as the body.

it's too bad so many white belts are incapable of this type of practice.
