Progressive Resistance

Wizard:
Hey all, been awhile since I formally logged in.  I've been doing some reading and thinking the concept of resistance in training, as a methodology to learn practical skill.  Not a new issue, I realize. 

One reason I admire MMA fighters is that their training allows them to really see if their technique will work.  Same with training sport BJJ--you can go pretty hard at it and test the waters.  I don't want "sport leakage" too much, but we also have to push it.  sometimes our combat scenarios might be too easy, and we still leave that arm hang out there (or whatever) so the opponent can do his technique.  While I don't prefer to get my bell rung too many times, too hard, as I'm just plain getting older, the stuff has to be tested!  So...

I was wondering what folks are currently using to ramp-up the resistance, so students can see if there "wonder technique" actually works with someone who's at least semi-fighting back.  What drills or strategies do you most like/use for this?

Anyone game?

This is from an old thread:

Consentual Training V.S. Resistance

I'm talking less theory and more actual drills you do to up the intensity for those ready and willing.  An article I saw by a Burton Richardson talked about "performance games" or something along those lines to describe some drills used to get more resisting engagement (gradually).

Nuff said.

Total Commitment @ intent makes you realize wether a technique works or not.

JimH:
To me,There is No DRILL for ramping up resistance you just do it.
A student is shown a technique,movement or gross skill and they do it against a minimally resistant attack, as the student grasps the concept of the movement the attacker comes with more intent and more force as the student is able to handle a certain level then the level is increase to where the attack and response are at full speed with control.
One point,the closer you get to a realistic attack and defense the more likely things are to cause varying levels of injuries,so students/trainers should know this and expect it or do not go to that level.
My opinion

whitewolf:
Ill go along with  JimH  on this -As instructors get  closer and closer to a  actual real technique injuries can  and  do  occur-I personally  have  been knocked out when the training gets "Too Real"-it is up to the instructor to insure that students  do no go  over board and try to hurt the other when they do the tchnique. i also  would add that as the students get more  and more closer to a  real technique some go into
really doing the technique for real -we as insructors have to be aware
as we teach. (Hope i am not rambling)-WW
