THE Complete guide to blocking & evading.
Traditional blocks just don't work on the street. There is a lot of confusion among the traditional stylists and more progressive experts. Some suggest that there is no such thing as "blocking" in the martial arts. Some say they are "throws" or "joint breaks" hidden in the moves.
This video begins to dispell the myths and mystique of the fancy blocks you see in all styles.
Besides just evading or "not being there" when an attacker strikes (Tai Sabaki as its called in Japanse Karate) you must be able to use parries, footwork and hard blocking to nullify an attack or combination. Do you know the best stance and where to keep your hands when forming your fighting stance? This video breaks it down from the top of your head down to your toes.
A number of blocks featured in this system include the upward, inward and downward knife hand, the downward parry, the lateral X block, the rising elbow block, the rib cage cover, the descending elbow block, the sweeping palm block, the driving palm heel block, and several very interesting combinations of these. There is also a good section on blocking low line attacks with the legs and knees and many good evasion drills.
For the first time, this tape formalizes blocks, parries & evasions against attacks from any angle or body weapon! Covers defenses against shin kicks & weapon attacks! For traditional artists, MMA fighter & progressive fighters!
