But_Why Posted August 17, 2003 Author Posted August 17, 2003 Thanks all for your responses Sauzin: you seem to have what i was meaning correct. (Thats if i'm reading it right ) Sasori_Te: I believe you are right in what you have said, as when i was practising my punches, i'd not think about my hips and concentrate on everything else one at a time (building up till i thought i had everything) and by about halfway through, i found that my hip was flicking (albeit it may not have been a strong flick, it was a flick none the less).
Goju1 Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 Sometimes it just takes years of reps and you'll feel it. Thats how it was for me - I always noticed the higher ranks looked different when they punched, and then one day it just clicked for me. You drive the arm motion via the hip rotation, much like a baseball pitcher powers his throw from his legs. This probably doesn't help much, just keep practicing!
Sasori_Te Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 That's how it was for me. One day I was just doing it. After I noticed I was doing it was when I started analyzing it. Those reps aren't for nothing. A block is a strike is a lock is a throw.
Goju1 Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Those reps aren't for nothing. Amen! Thats the real 'secret' of the Martial Arts! Reps, reps, and more reps
