Interuption

My apologies for not posting earlier.

I am in the midst of a renovation.

I thought I could still post but that is not possible right now.

I will post again...

4th Grip on the Cane: Outside Block then Cane Strike then Cross Check

http://youtu.be/Cev0JbcLTYY
I am standing in a Forward Bow holding the cane with my rear arm in the 4th grip.

My opponent attempts to punch me in the head.

I raise the can up until it is up with the end pointing at the sky.

I drive out across my body in an outside block.

I point the end of the cane behind me and backhand the opponent with the outside of the hook.

I then recoil the cane to my chest and drive out a cross check.

I am standing in a Forward Bow holding the cane with my rear arm in the 4th grip.

My opponent punches to my head.

I snap the end of the cane into my lead arm then execute a rising block with it (as shown).

I then recoil the cane to my chest and drive out a cross check.

Shift Forward Offset Kick

 http://youtu.be/KgQgeVZP-Io
Again, the kick itself is simple enough.

I shift forward and raise the back leg up while bending the foot up tight (like I am standing on my heel).

I turn my hip slightly as I straighten the leg and drive the foot out hitting the abdomen of my opponent.

Shift Forward Front Thrust Kick

http://youtu.be/tVwB3oxFuvI
The kick is simple enough.

I shift forward and raise the back leg up while bending the foot up tight (like I am standing on my heel).

I drive my hips forward as I straighten the leg and foot out hitting the abdomen of my opponent.

I have to be able to know the kick and how to apply it without thinking about it.

Slide in Roundhouse Kick

 http://youtu.be/mnjg3CgaNlY
Again, this is similar to yesterday’s kick.

The Roundhouse kick is simple enough.

I start off in a Leading Horse Stance this time.

I step in and raise the bent leg at an angle (as shown).

Drive the ball of my foot into the side of the opponent’s abdomen.

As I demonstrate, I could use the top of my foot or the toe but I choose to use the ball of my foot..

Constant practice is an absolute must.
