March 30 2020 Multi Punching Drill on the Heavy Bag

March 29 2020

The Step and then the strike verses the lung punch.

Both have their place

Last of The Elbows (for a while)

There are two more videos about Elbow Strikes (in Kisae Kempo).

The first is a Fore Elbow Roundhouse Strike to the front.


The second shows the pattern I use to remember how to perform all eight.


On one side I perform them with hip torque (except the second on ;-)

On the other side I perform them without hip torque.

 More and More Elbows

Once again, the videos show how these things are performed.

The elbow to the rear is a powerful movement.

The old rule of slow leads to smooth and smooth leads to fast applies

A horizontal strike to the rear.

An overhand angled strike to the rear.

Today I am performing two separate Elbow Strikes

The first is a Fore Elbow Thrust to the Front

The second is an Upper Elbow Strike to the Side.

The videos show them well.
The first thing I would add is to make it look good.
Once it looks good, the second thing I would concentrate on is developing confidence.
In other words, I strike the heavy bag with light fast moves that look like nothing.
The effect on the bag is what I wan to judge the effectiveness of my strike.
