Break Fall With Pressure
Partner stands above you, shrimp with hands on shins. Also shrimp while partner is standing over top to knee kick and up kick to proper stand up and base w head protected review, while creating distance.
Striking
We don’t really want to punch if possible we want devastating strikes without broken hands. Palm strikes to nose, ear, chin, temple. Make sure and highlight power from hips and legs.
Proper Strike Techniques
Jab as a warning shot, distance judger. Punching is not as effective as elbows and knees. Palm strikes can stun or cause just as much damage as punches and can be safer for person throwing them. There are 27 bones in the human hand. All delicate and painful when broken. Go for an elbow or knee when possible. We still feel that every person should know the basics of making a fist and throwing a jab and a cross. (You’ll be shown a jab, cross, hook, uppercut combo for what is coming later on in other courses.)
Hitting Focus Mits
You’ll be shown the power of an open handed strike, without breaking bones in the hand. Palm strike to the ear or temple both sides of face, palm strike to chin and nose region.
