The Upper Body Chart and the Hook Punch
https://isshin-concentration.blogspot.com/2023/04/the-upper-body-chart-and-hook-punch.html
I have some further thoughts on this post
today.
When I put it together back in 2017 I was
just focusing on the way I originally learned this chart drill, but now several
new things come to mind.
Such
as when I first saw Sherman Harrill apply the sidestepping double strike from
Wansu kata. He stepped outside the right straight punch and hooked his right
strike into the solar plexus as he left hooked punch into the opponents kidney.
I had not thought of those strikes the same way.
Which
then led to me considering the same for the two hooking strikes application
from SunNuSu kata. Both are related to the chart drill I had learned. Just
never before in that way.
So
receiving another answer opens newer doors.
Then
today I was looking at Dr.Yang Ming-Jing’s Advanced Yang Style T’ai Chi Chaun – Volume 2 martial
applications. There in he shares several cavity strike options for the t’ai chi
step up and box ears.
He
shows the same movement we have been talking about in karate, could be used as
1) a double hooking strike into the eyes of the opponent,
2)A double hooking strike into the armpits of the
opponent and 3) hooking strikes in to the opponent’s temples. Along with other
optional suggestions.
One
must keep seeking.
Well
something ( a post ) of someone has got me curious on people's views. How many
people train to get hit? How many train not to get hit or many train to dodge a
hit and a counter? Does it work all of the time? I have never met anyone that
trains to get hit. So I'm just curious on others. I'm sure many have seen the
post that I'm meaning. But tell me what you think or believe is your personal
best way of training and am I wrong about training not to get hit by sparring
with a partner that throws a dead swing getting you getting use to duck or move
side to side to avoid the impact of the hit.
I do believe that most are here to learn to be better and I have learned from
many and I believe have made some friends.....thats always a plus.

In Okinawan Goju Ryu, old school, there is a tremendous focus on "kote
kitai," or body conditioning... arm beating, shin beating, thigh beating
ab and chest beating... all will harden, all will toughen, all can get to the
point where taking a punch won't hurt, and arms/shins in particular can become
formidable weapons. What can NOT be conditioned in this way is the head. So
that must be well protected. That said, in the course of training, one WILL get
their bell rung from time to time. The first time you catch a hard punch to the
face will be when you discover that it isn't as devastating as you'd feared it
might be. Of course, if that punch knocks you out...… so protect well.

We cover much the same in Isshinryu. However I recommend not being there is
better than being struck every time. Especially is they happen to have a small
blade in their palm, LOL
