Gekisai Bagwork video 1

I mentioned in another thread I was developing some bag drills to cover Gekisai kata, here is the first installment.

This is the preliminary video, no actual Gekisai yet, this video is what is needed to move into the Gekisai drills. Basically it covers some footwork, and two -very- basic bag drills for hitting and moving. The videos that will follow this one are pretty inaccessible without the ability to constantly move and hit, so this is intended to be a foundation for the rest of the series.

Awesome! Very excited to see this series develop! Would you be able to post the forthcoming ones in this thread, so people have them all on one page? This will be a great resource and I really appreciate you making them and sharing them here. Thank you!

All the best,

Iain

Thanks alot Iain, I appreciate people watching.  I plan on having the next one done in a week to two weeks, and I will definitely post the following videos here. I believe it will be four more videos.

Video number two is out, this came in at about 10 minutes. I feel like I fit everything into a more manageable time frame. This video covers some ways to use the first three postures/techniques of Gekisai on the heavy bag.

This is great stuff Zach! The material is very good and you present it really well too. Am I OK to share links with my lists?

All the best,

Iain

Thanks Iain, your feedback means a lot. Yes, I'd be happy for you to share whereever you'd like, in fact I appreciate it!

Very interesting, indeed! I particularly like the emphasis on varying the techniques and not being too repetitious, which would lend itself to good solo training "all in" applications live training. Will think on that more!! Thanks for sharing. 

Best,
