Self-Defense Training Summary 25 and 26 October 2008
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Along with our regular training, we looked at a classical series that is designed to build strength, balance, and the ability to rapidly advance towards and opponent. The series of movements, Basic Series Two, goes as follows:
1- Horse Stance
2- Raise the lead leg (with a downward block variation)
3- Step down with the raised leg and advance with the other rear leg.
I also introduced a swinging fist variation to Basic Series Two and then explained the difference between hand leads body and body leads hand insofar as generating an attack and the delivery of power is concerned. Furthermore, we discussed various targeting techniques as well as a power thigh attack designed to send a tremor through the opponent and destabilize his/her stance.
Tiger
With regards to the Tiger Movements, we looked at:
1- Advancing Tiger - Double
2 -Advancing Tiger - Inward and Outward
3- Tiger Parry and Palm Strike (parry with outward block in Cat Stance, then step forward into horse stance and effect a Tiger Palm Heel strike).
