This is the groove that we grease.

And rope pull teaches you to get that opposite side fluidly moving through space, which is why, over time, that back pain went away.

Because in jujitsu, I was overdoing right side rotational movement.

And the rope was able to bring in the opposite side, which evened out my movement, helped me get rid of tension in certain areas that I didn't even realize I had tension, and made me a more symmetrical moving human.

It is, because you're swinging a tool through space.

So a heavier version, not even a version, but a heavier implement would be a club or a mace, right?

You swing that implement.

To an extent, when you have a lighter club or mace, you can swing it like a rope, but when it's heavier, there are certain ways you can swing it.

But the rope, since you're swinging it, initially, it's very handsy.

So you'll see people, when they swing the rope, it's very...

It's very with the hands, right?

The hands are doing the control, the wrists are doing the control, but the goal is to learn how to use the spine along with the weight shift that happens naturally in the feet and the hips to funnel energy through that rope as you're moving it through space.

So this is one of the reasons why when people watch rope flow, you'll see certain people do rope flow and it won't look, I hate to say it, just won't look cool or it won't look the way the, it won't look,

appetizing.

Right.

But when you see someone who has learned how to funnel energy through their spine, to move that rope through space, it's a very different looking practice.

It's, it looks Marshall in a sense, right?

Because there's a lot of patterns within the practice that you can throw elbows with the rope.

You can throw uppercuts with the rope.

You can, I like getting low and doing takedown type movements as I'm working with the rope.
