Punch then Angled Palm Block

Like the drill of a couple of days ago, this drill is designed to mix punches and blocks together so that both can be used easier.

Today I am using the same arm for my punch then for an Angled Palm Block.

Another Punch, Block, Punch Drill

Today I use the Crossdownward Arm Block.

With one arm, I punch, then block, then punch again.

I switch arms and repeat for thirty seconds.

I keep my fist formed throughout and ‘ride’ my last punch out of the block.

Using The Cane in the 4th Grip

Comparing Distances for a Front Kick and Horizontal Swings of the Cane in the 4th Grip

Using the cane in the 4th grip and executing a front kick happen at the same range.

That is the whole point of this drill.

The Cane in the 7th Grip: Four More Basic Strikes

Again, I am using the grip also known as ‘The Mid Grip’ for obvious reasons.

Today I execute four more basic swings with the back end of the hook.

These are each on a forty five degree angle.

I prefer to torque my hips slightly into my swings.

I also prefer to torque my backward swings with a backward rotation (instead of a reverse rotation).

I make sure I am at kicking distance when I do these.

I also make sure I have a firm grip on the cane so it does not rebound back and strike me.

Again one last point: I prefer to use a thick, heavy, Sheppard’s Hook cane as I am just too hard on the lighter variety (as shown).
