Very nice. Where did you get it from? I have one book on TSD, but would like some more.

you could always ask your instructor

My instructor isn't very big on MA literature. I would be willing to bet that I have read a lot more on the subject than he has.

I train it with a backfist. Which book did you find by Hwan Kee?

[stoneheart]

It is a hammer fist in Kang Uk Lee's TSD book.

[Fosgate]

We always trained as neither hammer nor backfist, but as if the technique was to break a hold.

There are multiple applications of most techniques. This is another way.

TSD= back fist

Shito Ryu= Hammer fist\block

I like the Shito Ryu application best. Considering that GM KEE "learned the form from a book" he may have just chosen to make it a back fist.

Shito Ryu teachs it as a hammer fist. As you advance you see alternative application as being a downward block, then a perry block (the technique in question), then a foward punch.

Hey Scott James,

How was korea? Our TSD school does backfist, but according to original TSD publications it IS a hammerfist.

Next time we catch up (are you back from Korea) I'll show you my new copy of Hwang Kee's volume.
