About this item:
I m sure you have read about Master Funakoshi saying that "a block is a strike and a strike is a block" but how many of you know what he means by that? How do you use a strike as a block and a block as a strike? We can spend a little time to study and reverse engineer the many different applications a block can have but it will require some tweaking here and there. Great! The next problem is how to train them in a "kata-like" format? In this short video, some important concepts and techniques are presented. If you study the video carefully you will see elements of stance changes and practice (dachiwaza), the all-important hip engagement and movement (koshiwaza), directional drills (hanmi), distancing (maai), hand techniques (tewaza) and the associated movements of "traditional" blocking techniques into a fluid, two person drill. Included in this drill is the important concept of timing, which, for many instructors, a very difficult subject to teach so the student can learn it in a live format. Speed
and power is gradually introduced as the student becomes more adept and confident in these skills.
The central theme is that with resistance from a partner, the student rapidly increases their understanding and application of a technique.
You should be able to download 2 files (MP4 video and PDF document) to help you understand the meaning behind the movements to form your own drills and karate practice exercises individually or in sequence.
This also becomes the perfect platform to introduce competition sparring and self defense as students are so accustomed to live partner training. A must for karate teachers and students alike!
