The inward kicking done in naihanchi seems great for kicking and stomping the side of the knee while clinching up with the opponent, or to throw them, and in naihanchi 2 (sandan I think) there's a position I use for a grapvine/double fishhook from the first movement and 4th or 5th movement, then some positions that are good for choking, and a sequesnce that can be used to hammerlock the arm, then grab the hair with said arm, rip back, and punch the oppoenent in the face and you finish with a sweep. These are all I've come up with or come across so far.

Hi There Oldman





My bag is leather, and filled with sand.
With this I train, with feet and hand
And when I fight, all bruised and cut
My hands still broken, my eyes still shut
In common with love, its much the same
when lovers exist, there is also pain.

Hi storm dragon

good

Hows the maki wari training ?

Hey Andy, I just got my new post set in, and I start regular trainign tommorrow. I've been doing lot's of knuckle push ups and hand stretching and my fists have gotten tough and have healed up. I can't wait for my training to really start. Oh and I've been doign lot's of bag work.

does the new post bend? Make sure you don't overload it and 'lock' it up, it must have give.

Hi Storm

I agree with Jim here.Take it easy and it seems your training is paying off . Good.

Im not realy the expert on working out bunkia from kata. I like to see the technique work out if it will work and if I think it does then drill it.Although I can normaly find things to add or variations.

Go to admit it though Naihanchi gives me head aches.
To many people been messing about with it.

Hows the weight training ? Squats spring to mind when stances are mentioned such as Naihanchi, etc. Flat footed feet wider than shoulder width toes in the correct position squats not the built up heel variety(as in not the heel raised on wood or weights or nothing).

So your hand healed then?
Good


ANDY SAYS
Fist-a-phobia. Is a fear of fists brought on by people who dont train defence.
