Outside Palm Block High Low Center Drill

Another very basic high low center drill.

This time I use only the outside palm block and guard my head, then my torso and then my throat, alternating my arms as I go.

High Low Center Drill With the Cane Tip

http://youtu.be/s8r7qeTWhXk
I am at kicking distance with the cane in the fifth grip, tip facing the heavy bag.

I strike high with the tip.

I strike high with the tip.

I strike high with the tip.

I repeat.

Then I repeat on the other side.

I left the misses in this video. When I am blasting the bag, it moves and I miss. It is important to be able to keep going on even when I miss.

High Low Center Punches on the bag

http://youtu.be/VVayZxDOATU

This drill starts slowly enough I can count out what I am doing aloud. As I progress, I speed up yet each punch is a powerful strike in and of itself.

I am facing the heavy bag at cross checking distance with the cane in the fifth grip.

I strike high with the tip.

I hook low with the hook end.

I cross check to the center.

I repeat.

Done often, this drill will help to develop good basic strikes with the cane in the fifth grip.

The attacker slides his rear leg forward in a leading horse and executes a side kick to the defenders abdomen with the heel of his foot.

The defender withdraws his lead leg back to a neutral stance and uses his lead arm to hook the heel of the attacking leg as he lets the kick miss.

The attacker withdraws back to a fighting position and the defender advances to a bow and continues to shuffle forward to execute a counter offset kick to the attacker’s groin.
