In this video I run through 2 drills using a belt tied to a heavy bag. The focus is using Motobu's "Husband & Wife Hands" principle during solo training.
In drill #1, I use a kake uke and reverse punch. The "limb" is seized and controlled with a hikite while executing a reverse punch.
In drill 2, a gedan berai, morote uke and empi uchi are used to strike the groin, clear a limb, access the head and finish with an elbow strike.
This drill is a modification of seienchin bunkai (opening movements) Iain Abernethy taught at a 2016 seminar in New Jersey. Hope you're staying safe and self-isolating. Keep training!
Cheers,
Andy
I like both of those! Will give them a go.
Great drills which are obviously ideal for this troubled time!
For those who’ve not seen that one, there’s a video clip on YouTube of if from that very event :-)
All the best,
Iain
That was my first Iain Abernethy seminar!
