Re: Roy Dean: "Art of the Wristlock"

I am watching Roy's DVD this weekend as well. So far my comments echo Chris'.

What I really appreciate about Roy is he is clear, succinct, and a technician.

He breaks things down into very easy to understand, efficient moves and then repeats them the same way, cleanly, over and over.

There is no philosophical discussion or "just move your hips", useless kind of descriptive languaging. Just step by step simple easy to understand methods.

One thing I like is that he always completes a move to a useful immobilization or pin. This is lacking in many folks practice.

His body contact and relationship to uke is positive and on the money. No jumping or flying through the air kind of moves.

Good stuff! I recommend this to anyone that wants a good, basic primer on some effective wrist locks that will work.
