ShoriKid Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Fukyugata Ni, but pretty close there scohen. Spelling is optional in martial arts, or life in general if you ask me. The motion is repeated twice, with the slip back into zenkutsu dachi. Think of it as a left hand parry/trap, right chest block/lock, pull back to off balance and then the double punch. Reverse for the second movement. Solar plexus and bladder(top of the belt knot that Hanchi Grant told us to target during a visit) are your targets if they are squared up. Lower ribs and kidney if you've turned them with the trap and pull. Those last two movements are showing you a very basic way to deflect and off balance an attacker and then come back with a split level attack. So a concept, deflection and body shift to create openings for follow up attacks. Kisshu fushin, Oni te hotoke kokoro. A demon's hand, a saint's heart. -- Osensei Shoshin Nagamine
