The Quadrant Theory

The Quadrant Theory says that the further away the strike is from the point of attachment or previous strike, the more systemic and overall damaging the effect. The Quadrant Theory cuts the body from top to bottom and across. It teaches that each Quad is allergic to each other.

Here is an application. Do a simple wrist lock, your choice of locks. Apply a moderate amount of pressure to the lock. Now release the pressure. Get feedback from you uki with regard to pain level. Now if the lock is on your uki's right hand, give him a light kick to the left ankle or foot and apply the same amount of pressure to the joint lock as before. Notice the dramatic different in response from you uki.

This is level 1 quadrant theory.

Give it a try....feeling is believing!
