Alternate Arm Triple Strike Drill Using the Backhand Knifehand Thrust

All three strikes go to the same location.

This drill is used to develop speed, power and follow through.

High, Low, Centre Punches from the High Guard

Similar to yesterday’s drill except I start from the ‘High Guard’.

These do not look particularly powerful but looks are deceiving (in this case).

High, Low, Centre Punches from the Low Guard

Simple enough…

I start with one hand out and the other on my hip.

I drive my punches out as I pull my recoiling hand back.

The harder my withdrawing hand recoils; the more powerful the punch is with my other hand.

High, Low and Centre Outside Blocking Drill

This review is the opposite of yesterdays.

Again, the idea is simple enough.

The doing on a regular basis is a very good way to make these blocks work.

Forehand Underhand Ridgehand Swing

As I show in the video, this can be done two ways.

The important thing is to be at the correct height when I swing the ‘Ridgehand’ into the groin.

I put my arm into it (by bending it) just before I make contact.

This is a powerful movement but it is slow and should be used as a follow-up.
