Saturday Morning – July 15, 2005

A peek into the past
 at how my black belt classes were conducted.




Technique Review

 
  1. Hook punch IR thumb knuckle strikes (neck, ribs)
  2. Hook punch with the IR thumb knuckle, and index finger 2nd knuckle as a double strike.
    1. How this fits into the neck under the rear of the jaw, and into the temple as a double strike.
  3. Hook punch elbow strikes to the rear
  4. Discussion about Sherman’s thumb middle finger touch to form a circle and the impact advantages for a ridgehand strike (must research)
  5. Mawashi Uke/Tora Guchi double strikes, but not with palms but the first thumb knuckle, taking care to rotate the entire hand to make the strike work
    1. Subset analysis how great a knuckle strike can be into the neck
    2. Subset basic countering the neck strike – instead of taking it, instead turn into it, changing the striking zone outside of the strikes capability
    3. Enter into strike/counter/counter-counter 
  6. Discussion how alignment and control of the intersecting spheres works with these techniques.
  7. Discussion of the difference between responding extemporaneously, and responding where you’re in control and might choose the more obscure strikes for specific fits.

Application using the low block (without the spinning turn.

Attacker grabs your R. arm with their L.

1.      LFB (horse stance) with Hi/Low block.
