Gekisai Padwork Drill

Hello everyone,

I borrowed Gekisai, again, for this week's Waza Wednesday--this time, for a striking padwork drill. It is based on the mae-geri/age-enpi-uchi/uraken-uchi/gedan­-barai/gyaku-tsuki sequence. While we only recorded one iteration of the drill, there are several ways it can be altered to suit the people practicing it. Of course, there are more ways to apply these movements, but this drill is used to highlight and develop the striking applications, specifically.

So important to hit stuff! Thanks for sharing Noah.

Lee Taylor shows some good bunkai / pad drills in his new DVD too.

We definitely subscribe to the idea that you have to hit things to be good at hitting things!
