The Basic Parries of Kisae Kempo

I am demonstrating the six basic parries today.

The parry meets the incoming fist at a slight angle.

There is less resistance and the blow is redirected with a minimum of effort.

Yellow Belt Lead Arm Primary Blocking Set of KISAE Kempo

The video shows these very basic striking blocks.

They are used to defend against a straight in Forefist Thrust to my head or torso.

I use the limb alone method…

In other words, I use the limb for a stable stance to strike the incoming blow away.

The shoulder remains still as does the torso and even the hips.

The idea is to remain in a strong stance and let the blocking arm strike the incoming arm away.

Another High, Low, Centre Punching Drill

Very similar to yesterdays drill.

I am moving only my arms to punch.

I keep my shoulders and torso still.

Today I am punching from the ‘High Guard’ position.

I start with my hands held high.

High, Low Centre Punching Drill

I am punching with a ‘Vertical’ or ‘Standing’ fist from the hip.

Yet I am using only my arms to punch with.

My core, my torso and my hips act as a brace from which I drive my punches out.

I do this drill for about 30 seconds.
