how do you practsie throwing and grappaling at home?

Question

i learnt a few techniques, how do i involve that in my training and does muscle memory involve throws and grapplaing

Answer 1

I don't know how serious you are about your training, but the best thing to do is find a training partner you can work with at least once or twice a week. You will be able to help each other out with your techniques and practice on each other. Muscle memory definitely does involve throws and grappling. The more you do a move, the more instinctual is will become. Then if you ever find yourself in a situation where you are forced to defend yourself, you will just do it without even having to think about it.

Answer 2

It's not possible to practice throws without a partner. In fact some would argue that you do more harm than good. A throw relies on the actions, and momentum of your opponent. Unlike a punch or kick there simply is no technique to practice. Depending on the art you are studying there may be katas, or exercises to do at home. Often they seem pointless, but you'll in time discover they enforce good stance, or mimic important motions.

PS- Musle memory is vary important for throws, and grapples. You don't have time to say. Well okay I'm here. He's here. You just need to do it.

Answer 3

You could go through the moves alone kind of like you would in Kata training. In many Judo and traditional Jujutsu schools they study katas that help them develop proper throwing technique,

You can also use a heavy bag or throwing dummy like these http://www.combatsports.com/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=throwing%20dummy

If you don't have the money for a bag or dummy you can use some other heavy object like tires, logs, etc. Just remember to be careful and use good form.

As far as grappling is concerned you'll need training partners in order to really practice any kind of technique.

Hope this helps.

Grappling is very hard to practice by yourself. You can only "shadow grapple" witch means go throught the motions of the techniques. You would look pretty silly writhing around on the floor though.
Throws are much easier. Do all of your step throughs in front of a mirrior, to make sure your feet and body position are correct. You can even get one of those stretchy tubes, and tie it off on a door or something, to give yourself some resistance.

Answer 5

it's better to have a partner to work with, but you can as it's been said "shadow grapple" by going through the motions involved in performing the techniques.

Muscle memory has a lot to do with your training, that's why you practice, and why practicing the techniques over and over are so important.

doing it over and over and doing it CORRECTLY gives you the muscle memory, so that it becomes second nature and you don't have to THINK about the technique when performing it and you do it without any hesitation.

Answer 6

Very carefully. Do not invite over a bunch of people who don't study martial arts and proceed to put on a throwing show. That would be neglectful and foolish.

Answer 7

You can practice on a stuffed toy, or just practice with nothing, and use the same amount of power. You should still practice, even if you have nothing to practice on.
