Flow Drills
Flow drills are ten to thirty movement joint locking "forms." A practitioner blue belt or higher may sometimes have to perform a flow drill to move up in the ranks. A flow drill can start from any aggressive situation, i.e. an aggressive handshake, punch to the face, knife slice, wrist grab, etc. One movement equals one joint lock; e.g. from aggressive handshake to armbar, to hammer-lock, to center-lock, to neck crank, to trip, to full-mount, to key lock, to finger lock, to thumb lock.

Famous quotes containing the words flow and/or drills:
“For as the interposition of a rivulet, however small, will occasion the line of the phalanx to fluctuate, so any trifling disagreement will be the cause of seditions; but they will not so soon flow from anything else as from the disagreement between virtue and vice, and next to that between poverty and riches.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“Certain anthropologists hold that man, having discovered tools, ceased to evolve biologically. Animals, never having discovered them, continue to fashion drills out of their beaks, oars out of their hind feet, wings out of their forefeet, suits of armor out of their hides, levers out of their horns, saws out of their teeth. Whether this be true or not, all authorities agree that man is the tool-using animal. It sets him off from the rest of the animal kingdom as drastically as does speech.”
—Stuart Chase (1888–1985)
