Today I am demonstrating two Upper elbow Strikes.

One is downward and the other is rearward.

I use the heavy bag to demonstrating power and focus.

But I go quite slow.

It is like that old saying, “Slow leads to Smooth and Smooth Leads to Fast.”

I can use the arm by itself or I can turn my hips into the movement.

Both versions work but I turn into the strikes(s) to add power and focus.

March 24 2020 

I have decided to make more videos.

I am sending out a big thanks to Kurt for encouraging me to make more.

This will simply be a continuation of what I was doing before.

Short videos about techniques and training drills regarding KISAE Kempo.

A Coordination Drill with the Cane

Here is a coordination drill with the cane.

The video is self-explanatory. 

I don not move too fast.

There is nothing flashy or showy about this.

I also make sure I have room to swing the tool.

Rising Block then Counterpunch with Same Arm

By using the same limb to block and counter...

I can go from block to punch without pausing

Rising Block and Counterpunch

This combination has a pause between the block (with the lead arm)

And the counter (with the rear arm)

This pause allows me to block a second strike by using my lead arm

The Rising Block is used mainly against a punch to the forehead.

I have added a shuffle to this, as well.
