Slide in Roundhouse Kick

This is done from a Leading Horse Stance.

I simply bring my rear leg forward and kick with the lead leg.

I do not worry about height, speed or power.

I just kick.

Slide in Offset Kick

Almost the same as yesterday’s kick except it comes in at a slight angle.

Slide in Front Snap Kick

This time I am using the ball of the foot to hit with.

Therefore, I make sure my kicking foot is pulled up high.

This ensures that I am able to make contact correctly.

I also cock the leg and snap the kick out and back.


Done correctly this is a very fast move.

It looks like nothing.

When it lands…That is a different story.

4th Grip using an Overhand then Backhand Combination

The video show how to practice these blows.

It does not show how to use them.

These are broadly wielded strikes.

They require a lot of practice to become proficient (and a lot of maintenance as well).

The Jab

This simple punch is a really vital part of my arsenal.

It looks like nothing but it really quite powerful.

The main point I want to emphasis today is the snap of the hand.

I do not wind up; I punch from where I am.

I do snap out with my Forefist through the target and back.

4th Grip: Forehand Swing with the Cane

A simple enough matter.

The doing is the thing.

A New Heavy Bag

I am back today with my new freestanding Century Wavemaster Heavy Bag.

It has several settings that allow me to adjust the height but I have left it at the lowest one.

I have also covered up the upper part with a combination of cardboard and duct tape (black).

This is to keep the surface unmarred.

This also means any striking I do with either my shoes or with my short staff are done here.

The long bag by Fairtek will be used only when I am either bare foot  or with boxing gloves.
