This is a fun drill that begins at the speed of mud and can progress through a wide range of intensity levels – all the way to headgear, mouthpiece, and gloves. It is strongly recommended that you become really good at the speed of mud first, before speeding up (weeks, seriously). You can focus on sub-elements (forearm parries for many of you), displacements, classic locks, kuzushi on contact. Get creative with it it’s a lab bench, expect a lot of failure; try things see what works.

You will spend much of your time shouting, “hey you used your hand”. It gets pretty funny at times but also makes you very aware of your palms and grabbing. Don’t meet force with force, stick uke in their feet, move tangentially, and experiment. Look for small unexpected contacts to exploit, nonstandard kuzushi throws, maintain balance and structure. Have fun.

Even at the speed of mud this will be hard at first for most of you, give it time and take your time, you have to learn to feel this. Eventually you add frictional palm slides and yokes back into the mix, but initially no palms. Six months later one of these will spontaneously emerge in the middle of randori, or some other unintended way.
