| Many of the more popular drunken aspects were added later, and of course, over time were exagerrated. Most of the techniques in Joi Bot Sien are locking,takedowns, throws, (such as suplexes,single leg takedowns)leg scissors,sweeps,etc. that most of you already know. Many of these techniques, if performed in solo, without a partner, would indeed appear as if you were drunk. As would the looseness of the waist and body, angling the body for strikes, etc. The set simply grew from there. The "History", and "Origins" of the sets were added later, as they are with most styles.
When people talk of the legends as being true, or that one actually drinkls while doing the set, all that came from movies and stories.Not the original joi bot sien. |
