basics:
sanchin grab in beginning
pull down shoulders, legs
tuck under hips
arm thrusts... pulling back
wa-uke
kemoras - standing up, wristlock. keep close, turn them.
from mount... kemora. lift them up onto their shoulder... like figure 4 lock.
kicks... hips. effortless. throw leg at them.
when step-punching, NO SMALL STEP in beginning with lead foot. just move!
-utility steps ok for non-step punch
-would never step and punch in real life.... very rare
distance! if they are far out, feel like have to reach. don't. can punch close.
blocking... no time for full circle block. hiraken middle block... side to side.
horse-stance sparring -- great drill!
chokes, neck grabs... tuck chin, move away from thumbs.
small guys: need to work twice as hard to do half as much.
stance drill: they push your stomach, you walk/run forward.
