Ground Flow Workshop

The Ground Flow kata is a chain of ground-based locks, chokes, sweeps, and reversals that was incorporated into To-Shin Do’s jutaijutsu lexicon. This kata can teach you how to break up an attacker on the ground and escape many common scenarios you could find yourself in if you are taken down.

In this course, Hardee Hakutoshi Merritt shares hard-earned personal insights into the secrets contained in this kata and the context behind each step. Adding this drill to your practice can go a long way toward helping you prioritize movements and understanding your options on the ground. With competency in this realm, you gain confidence at other ranges. With that confidence, you will be able to stay calm and make good winning decisions that ultimately will help you prevail no matter where you find yourself.
