Hello,
In this video, we explore a possible application of the high block as a counter strike to the neck of an enemy who has thrown a sucker punch or a wild haymaker. This drill incorporates the three high blocks and also incorporates a throw as an application for the pivot into low block that comes at the end of the high block sequence in the kata. We also explore a basic pad drill to practice these techniques with speed and power.
Best,
David
I do like the age-uke into the turning gedan-barai as a strike and a makikomi throw. That’s a nice use of the rotation and the stance. I also always like to see bunkai on the pads too :-)
Thanks for sharing these with us all Dave!
All the best,
Iain
Thank you David for continuously sharing your ideas. Great application and pad drill!
Take care,
Marc
