The round house punches, the hooks, small circle of motion, strike horizontally, recoil fast. The elbow is behind the punch. The forearm is in the direction of the movement of the attack. The upper body moves in the direction of the target, in the direction of the attack. The heel is turned outward, the legs, the hip, the torso is turning, shifting the energy and the momentum of the movement into the punch into the strike. You can strike with the heel of the hand or with a fist, while the thumb is up. You can strike at different levels, at different heights. Example, to the chin or to the lower ribs.
From the general outlet stance, punch with the forward hand. In a very short punch you are turning the front foot, enabling a stronger punch. The heel of the front foot is turned. You shift your weight in the direction of the strike. Do not lean away in this technique.
Round house punch with the front hand, shifting your weight forward. The circular action is practically identical. While punching you shift your weight forward, while turning the body, the leg, the hip, the torso. Stilling the elbow, the angle is more or less 90 degrees. You’re punching with the open hand, fingers forward or with the vertical fist. The other hand is protecting.
Round house punch with the rear hand. The back hand, this time the right, is making the regular circular. As you start from the general outlet stance, there is a turning and shifting of the weight. The heel has been turned towards the outside. Leaning the chest and the torso in the direction of the strike, 90 degrees at the elbow. You can strike with the fist or with the heel of the hand, while the fingers are pointing forward. The other hand comes near the face.
The uppercut strike. Starting from the semi-passive stance. Turn [inaudible 00:02:42] limb, so the sternum will come over the knee. While starting to rise take the hand down a bit and punch upwards, vertically, and a bit forward, hitting with a fist, there too big knuckles. The elbow is under the fist. The punch is directed a bit diagonally forward. The foot of the punching hand is turned, so it is directed towards the target.
Uppercuts with the general outlet stance. Punch with the right or with the left. Punch with the front hand or the back hand. Punch with the front hand, turn the body and lean a bit downwards so the sternum will over the knee, and then get up and then rise and punch. Punching with the back hand, two shoulders should go down towards the feet and then turning a bit, rising and punching. The strike is with the two large knuckles, the wrist is aligned and the punch is directed upwards and a bit forward.
Uppercut strikes from the passive stance. Strike while rising up. Rise a bit on the both of the feet. The punch is particularly the same, however there is no telegraphing, there’s no preparation mode. Punching from the general outlet stance, first we lean and then we strike upwards. Here there’s no need to lean down or to take the hand down. The hand is already down, start from there.
A. Circular Strikes Hooks (Roundhouses) & Uppercuts
Notes: Start drilling both strikes first from a semi-passive stance, then from a ready stance; for the hooks, while in ready stance the front-hand strike has two variations.
D. Kicks
E. Series of Attacks – to the front, side and rear; with different targets, heights and angles
F. Inside Defenses with Palm or Forearm Against Straight Punches
G. Outside Defenses Against Punches
H. Body Defense with Hand Strike to Groin
I. Defending Against an Opponent Attacking from Different Angles
J. Leg Defenses Against Kicks [from passive and ready ('outlet') stances]
Note: Technique no.1 is first applied against regular kicks and later against roundhouse and sidekicks. Techniques 3 and 4 are used against an attack delivered to an unknown height. Use the forearm as previously learned, bony or muscular parts for inside or outside defenses.
K. Choke Releases (including Distance Timeline)
Note: When lack of force, use two hands to remove one of attacker's chocking hand.
L. Defenses Against a Knife Threat (including Distance Timeline)
N. Choke Releases While on the Ground
O. Using Common Objects – Small Objects to Distract
Note: This is used primarily in a situation before an actual attack is made, mainly during the threat stage or in the very early stages of an attack.
Q. Returning Attacker (defend -- attack -- defend)
1. Releases
