JR 137 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Thank you so much, that's exactly what we were aiming for and we're glad it came off that way; a realistic scenario in line with what a self-defense altercation would feel like. Your recommendation about the knees is a good point. We filmed a lot of raw footage for this video and I did not include the clips where we did utilize the knee but I definitely agree that building the muscle memory for knee strikes, even as a means to disengage the attacker's intention, is super vital. We will release a video in the coming months that will specifically show in which katas these movements are derived. Thank you again for the kind wordsA lot of your techniques looked like a sweep would be a good follow up too. I'm a big fan of elbows, knees and sweeps. I'd much rather throw those instead of the standard punch and kick. Maybe it's the way I'm built, but I can generate a lot more power with elbows and knees. Obviously everything is range dependent.
Doomed Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 This is some awesome stuff you have here! As a fellow karateka, I'm always looking for good videos like these to study. Keep up the good work!
