Karate Drills
Spring block -- push off their arm.
Compress... then go. Move off at an angle.
- try this drill on the bag.
- absorb their strength, then spring off to one side
punching: gather then explode. eventually, don't need to step... just lean
explode from legs, hips, knees
San chin: straight back. shoulder straight down.
Side mount escape: push up, turn and hip out.
crucifix -> scarf
from knees... roll them over
movement: action w/a purpose. no extraneous movements.
-fire arm straight out from sany chin.
-don't dip in beginning.
-keep arm parallel to ground when pulling back... don't dip down
When punching: don't bring arm back. step forward, leave arm in place...
then move it forward. same. stepping forward effectively brings it back
(relative to your body, but forward motion nonetheless).
kanshiwa: last move, don't bob. drive straight ahead, shoulder low. hit
with entire body.
DRILLS:
side-to-side (boxer drills that kurt does)
rock and roll (forward and back)
calf jump
in my head "set/down/set/down/"... always be moving into sets. "can i hit
from this position?"
tips:
pull back with hips, shoulders
work on 1-2 things, get it down. the other 12, 13 fall into place.
imagine that you are trying to go to the center of a circle. lots of ways,
but choose one path and stick with it.
get a strong, powerful punch
