Still Another Drill using Combination Punches off the Jab

This is a four strike drill.

I go to the face then the body and the face once more and finish to the body.

I keep the target at an optimum range for punch (in this case by using little steps).

Another Drill using Combination Punches off the Jab

This is a three strike drill.

I punch to the face, then to the body with the other arm and then to the face again with my first arm.

The Jab works like a block in that it fast .

The main difference is that a Jab goes to the face or body while a block goes against a limb.

Combination Punches off the Jab

There are basically two different types of two punch combinations I can use.

Either I punch with the same hand twice or with the lead then the rear.

I make my punches go to three different heights (face, upper torso and/or stomach).

The speed and power of a ‘Jab’ makes it an excellent opening strike during a sparring match.

A Fifth Horizontal Strikes with the Cane in the 5th Grip

A compilation of the last two days drills.

This drill defends my face and body from someone at punching distance.

I block either high or low but I defend on both sides before I swing the cane end.

I use the middle of the cane to block as shown.

Then I rechamber before swinging the end of the cane out.

When I block, I keep one hand still.

I make sure I go all the way through with my block.

Then I rechamber the cane for a counter strike.

It does not matter which end I use to strike with as long as I strike with the wood of the cane shaft.

(To reiterate: I do drive through with the cane shaft. I do not use the hook or the rubber tip.)

A Fourth Horizontal Strikes with the Cane in the 5th Grip

Similar to yesterday’s drill, except…

This drill is done against a slow but powerful punch to the body from someone at punching distance.

This time I block down instead of up before I swing the cane end along a horizontal plane.

This means I start with the cane at shoulder height.

I use the middle of the cane to block as shown.

Then I rechamber before swinging the end of the cane out.

When I block, I keep one hand still.

I make sure I go all the way through with my block so that I can see under my arm.

Then I rechamber with both hands up.

Only at this point to I keep one hand still as I drive the other end out into my attacker.

It does not matter which end I use to strike with as long as I strike with the wood of the cane shaft.

(To reiterate: I do drive through with the cane shaft. I do not use the hook or the rubber tip.)

A Third Horizontal Strikes with the Cane in the 5th Grip

This drill is done against a slow but powerful punch to the face from someone at punching distance.

This time I block before I swing the cane end along a horizontal plane.

I use the middle of the cane to block as shown.

Then I rechamber before swinging the end of the cane out.

When I block, I keep one hand still.

Then I rechamber with both hands down.

Only at this point to I keep one hand still as I drive the other end out into my attacker.

A Second Horizontal Strikes with the Cane in the 5th Grip

This time I simply swing the cane tip along a horizontal plane on one side only.

The close hand remains still and I can use this strike with or sithout hip torque.

Again I am at punching distance.

When I strike without hip torque, the strike is quick and deceptively powerful.

When I strike with hip torque, the strike is a bit slower but much more powerful.
