This message board has been slow, but I know that people check in from time to time... I posted a thread on my brother's forum over on setojkd.com based on his question of the centerline and thought I would share it here as well:
I was checking out the latest on the MMA scene on the net and came across this picture of Yves Edwards. I think he is a well rounded fighter, with a warrior’s heart. He trains at ATT here in Florida and I met him when he came over to Marcelo’s to train his groundgame before an upcoming fight. He is a very humble person and one hell of a grappler!
Anyway, this is a good example of the powerline. Now, when talking the powerline it is not only the top meaning the shoulders and arm when using the lead vertical, but also the hips and feet (top, mid and bottom so to speak). Other than dropping his rear, I think this is an excellent example of all three levels. And unlike what most may believe, it works not only on the streets but in any shape of squared ring, cage, circle, or mat.
