Course Updates: Purple To Brown – Throwing Cycle
Just as we recently updated the Blue-to-Purple section of the archive, we have now completed a major update to the Purple-to-Brown curriculum.
This section introduces a number of unique throwing and takedown options, many of which are drawn from the art of Judo. While Living Mechanics is heavily influenced by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, it has never been limited by any single system. The goal is always to identify the most effective tools available and integrate them into a functional, adaptable framework.
For those who may not know, Sifu Alan Baker is a second-degree black belt in Judo and has spent decades studying and applying throwing mechanics alongside his work in Jiu-Jitsu, striking arts, and self-protection systems. As a result, you’ll often see Judo concepts blended throughout the Living Mechanics curriculum when they provide a more efficient solution to the problem at hand.
If you’re a member of the online archive, log in and explore the new material. These additions provide a powerful set of options for taking an opponent to the ground while expanding your understanding of body mechanics, timing, and control.
