PEG LEGS

Technical questions about Jitsu, like which side you land on for a left hand sided breakfall - or even which one is your left hand!

PEG LEGS

Postby Martin on Wed Nov 23, 2005 2:31 pm

Ok After a VERY painful session yesterday I was wondering wether anyone has any tips for us newbies (especially the blokes) when peg legging 5 out of 6 times a garlic press action occured and was ever so slightly painfull. :eek:

I know I have to land on the ball of my foot but however I just dont get it doest stop me from getting back up and doing the other side tho.

Dunno maybe I just like pain, but hey at least I don't have to Give Birth :twisted: oh the advantages of being male.

Try to control your top leg, and get the ball of your foot on the floor, it stops the nut cracker action -- 5 times - most of us only do it once!

Peglegs

Postby Hamish on Fri Feb 23, 2007 4:35 pm

On the same technique, does anyone have any advise on getting up faster? I keep finding my arm gets tangled underneath when doing normal peglegs. But also Im sure there must be a way to use momentum to help get up afterwards, rather like a judo roll. Any opinons?

I have that same problem but I'm not sure there is a way to fix it other than just remembering to collect your arm before you try and get up! later on they teach you advanced peg legs (green/ purple I can't remember when I learned them!) and then you no longer have the arm problem :D
