This week Rick and I are practicing some very basic defense combinations against simple single punches.
Today we are defending against a straight rear punch to the body.
Kisae Kempo uses something called ‘Zone Defense’. There are many arts that use this concept. The basic idea is to divide the body into ‘Zones’ and have specific ways to ‘Defend’ these ‘Zones’. Even when Rick uses the other hand to attack my body, I’m easily able to block it.
It can take years for anyone to develop confidence in being able to damage an attacker with a light quick punch. Yet it is the light quick punch which is likely to be the one that lands with the most effect. These defenses are designed specifically against light quick punches.
Without prejudice
