Ippon Kumite

[ps1]

Hey everyone,

A friend of mine and I made these vids as a reference for some of the students within the school. I figured I'd post them for everyone to watch if you want.

Some of the techniques are a little sloppy (especially the spinning kick).

Here are some Kick-Punch ippon kumite. The attacker throws a kick followed by a punch. My personal fav is the second one against the side kick. When you hit it right...it really takes a person by surprise!

Enjoy! Let me know what you think.

Hi ps1 not too shabby at all.

The only thing that I would make comment on, was on your "mai-ai" (or lack of it) on the first set.

Could be just particular to your school, but I thought you were a little close to you "uke" when performing your counter techniques

Shotokan seems to be quite a rigid style and for this reason probably there wasn't a lot of hip rotation in the counter punches and there was not a great deal of fluidity in the techniques.

That said I think you are being faithful to your style and you performed the katas well.

You're quite right Zanshin. I was close. Mainly because I wanted to be sure we stayed in frame for the camera. After shooting I saw I had plenty of room and actually asked Jonny to move in unnecessarily a couple of times.

This bothered me more on the kicks than the punches. I like to follow up punches with take downs, so I like to be close.

I practice my hip rotation more in sparring and kata (which I did not perform). But, to avoid running my fist through my opponent's ribs, I do not do much of the rotation on my Ippon Kumite.

I can see that, and would have to say your take downs were good. Very good timing

That’s good but bear in mind "Iponne Kumite" is still Kata, its is paired Kata, but none the less still Kata, because by definition it is a drill containing a pre arranged sequence of moves

Very nice, ps1. They were short and sweet. I especially liked some of the takedowns.

Very well done ps1! I wish some of my fellow students at my school could work as well together.

Good point. Thanks for the advice, by the way.

Thanks Bushido.

Thanks. I've been training with Jonny for a long time. In addition, he's an actor...so he's kind of a ham for this stuff He loves to get on film. You notice it especially in some of the later things... he starts to pretend he got hit. Whadda ya gonna do.

Having a bit of drama added in is good for effect!
