Another STMA innovation
Even if most of you have never flown an aircraft, plane or helicoptor, all of you would have been in one and are of course aware of them - you have all seen Top Gun and other such "flying" films
Most of you drive a car and all of you have been in one
An aircraft has three ranges of motion
Roll
Pitch
Yaw
(see diagram)
The joystick controls the roll and pitch of the aircraft, the peddles control the yaw
So how we link this to NEWAZA:
The opponent lying on the Ground has three ranges of motion
Roll - side to side
Pitch - sitting up and down, raising the hips
Yaw - turning round in a circle
So using our pin, eg Scarf Hold, Mount, Side Mount, we prevent him moving in those three directions, or inhibit him so much it gains him nothing, he certainly can't escape - we just have to lie on him and hold the position, with occasional adjustment - he will use energy and tire himself trying to move in the three directions
When he tires himself out and stops, we can transition or submission
We may not be the only School that each Newaza by this analogy, but we don't know of anyone who currently is, nor did we "get it from" somewhere - most likely there are not many JJ Instructors who are also either pilots or who have advanced applied knowledge of aerodynamics
Jiu Jitsu techniques paired with Aerodynamics concepts
As a lot of you have Top Gun names eg Iceman, Viper, Goose, Maverick, etc, you have a Top Gun analogy concept
