Defense Against a Slide In Front Kick to the Groin

I am demonstrating with Jason today.

Both face each other in Forward Bows.

The attacker slides in a snaps a front kick to the groin of the defender.

The defender kneels quickly down while driving the palm heel of his rear had into the kick.

As the attacker withdraws, the defender flows and counterkicks.

Done in the air, this looks like nothing.

As Jason shows, the kick into the back is really quite powerful.

Block and Counterpunch

I block with my Lead Arm.

I pause slightly.

I counterpunch with my Rear Arm.

In the air this looks like nothing.

Against a target the power is apparent.

Horizontal Forehand Knifehand Swing

Do just like it sounds.

This is a big move that is easy to see coming.

In order to land it, either the timing has to be perfect or it should follow a jab.

Inside Hooking Block

This is a drill I have done before.

Today, I am using just the arms and a solid base.

I do not step or torque my hips with my block.

Only my wrist snaps around at the end of my block.

Rising Block

This is a basic alternate arm drill.

I execute ‘Rising Blocks’ but my torso and my shoulders are still.

I torque my wrist into the block.

This particular block works best against a punch to the face.
