Tonight's session was about focusing a little more on the traditional roots of JKD - working trapping from static and countering positions and then onto knife flows. The focus of these drills are co-ordination, body mechanics, footwork and changing range - a sensitivity that can be developed and then challenged and put under pressure all the way up to sparring.
Warm up: in Pairs
Move fwd (step and slide) x 3 inc a jab (A going forward while B goes back just out of range)
Move left x 3 inc jab, move right x 3 inc jab
Move fwd x 2 with jab on 3rd jab use slide and step footwork to close the distance and "run over" your partner following up with ABC
on defence:
Partner does 2x fwd and jab on 3rd jab step off diagonal right, simultaneous parry the jab with rear and pivot followed by a jab then ABC
Partner does 2x jab and cross on 3rd jab cross step of and pivot left with simultaneous hit (hook uppercut etc) follow with ABC
Trapping:
We split into different groups. More experienced students did the following:
Off Jab: (Pac- slaping/pushing down to remove barrier)
1) Split entry, pac (pak sau) into into hammerfist followed by ABC
2) Split entry, pac into hammer fist which they block then loi pak (slap their blocking arm down and punch them)
3) Split entry, pac into hammerfist which they block then into ton sau (move the passing hand wide then hit them then loi pak)
4) Split entry, pac into hammerfist which they block the second you feel them touch your hand you hit then with your free hand ignoring the block and hitting their solor plexis then move into the loi pak. (this is almost identical to the ton sau but a variation of timing and not moving the blocking hand wide prior to the following hit)
Off the Cross (same as above keep in left lead!) ending all of them with a hit, neck chop, hit ABC combo
Off Jab (lop - pulling the barrier out the way)
1) pac sau the led arm and jab, defender blocks moving your hitting arm sideways, roll hitting arm over the top hitting with a backhant and follow up withw a rear hand hit, moving forward to trap their arm
2) pac sau the led arm and hammerfist, defender blocks moving your hitting arm sideways, move slightly off line reach under your hitting arm with free hand and lop/pull their blocking arm follow up with hammerist into trap and hit then ABC
3) Pac sau the arm and jab/hammerfist they react late and end up pushing your arm back towards you, use your hitting arm to lop their blocking arm, pulling towards you and punching over the top follow up with ABC (note it they punch your arm up use your free hand to move them out the way dive forward and head butt them - making sure to control their rear arm too!)
Pad rounds
1 x 3 mins
2 x variation.
1) Pac lead arm and jab, then cross hook cross lead kick (jun fan style)
2) Pac and hammer, block pushing over, roll into back fist then cross hook cross lead kick
Palasut cyle:
looking at variations of feeds from initial stab to enter cycle-
3 stabs to the body 2x low one higher.
1) Segun (rake/Meet) - using flat of blade push straight down like a block sliding the blade up the arm (nasty)
2) Panastas (slash/Defang) - using free hand to "post on the arm (near elbow) and cutting bicep before going into the flow.
3) Palisut (scoop) - (if slightly higher/heart stab - but can be used on low stab it doesn't matter) stab straight down as if stabbing the forearm with a tight scoop/waslick - then into flow
(Steve please let me know the terminology for these moves my brain can't keep up!)
bonus material (for my future grading)
4) wide A1 stab - block with blade of free arm and Stab to throat - if someone says yes but the wide stab can be turned into a U cut and gut you... yes it can.... but I had also just stabbed you in the throat!!!! so your U cut might be stopped momentarily enough for me to do the follow up scoop of the knife arm and into the cycle....
5) a fast slash I can't stop so I move out the way and stop the back hand hit (middle of the flow) and carry on form their
I then worked these different feeds in any order in an endless flow...get the heart racing!
Hints: Keep the knife high and pointing at your opponent (DARREN!!!) then no matter what you do you are just dropping down letting gravity help. move your body out the way... footwork helps. Keep the hits tight... too wide and you can be stopped much easier. forward pressure... you are the hunter.
