lordtariel Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 We did a very interesting drill in class today. We stood in line and our sensei had us doing simple reverse thrusts. He then took one of those large stretch/yoga inflatable balls and told us we were to do the same reverse thurst at chest height. As soon as the rubber ball reached where the punch would end we were supposed to fire and knock the ball back to him. He then bounced the ball at us so we had a slower target to hit. Rather than doing a straight reverse punch, people were going higher, lower, or in some cases, just swinging wildly trying to connect with the ball. If you connected correctly, the ball flew straight back to the instructor. If you were off line, the ball would fly in random directions and you would have to chase after it. It's not a drill I would recommend for younger students because it can hurt if you do it wrong. One of the kids didn't make a tight enough fist and hurt her wrist. At the same time though, it's easy to tell if you're doing something wrong. There's no place like 127.0.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Dragon Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 we have one similar to that one, where a ball is suspended on the end of a rope and we have to hit it while its swinging around. It pretty tough; but its fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
