Mastering the Art of Evasion and Counterattack: The KALI FMA Check Hook - Boxing meets Escrima

Mastering the Art of Evasion and Counterattack: The KALI FMA Check Hook - Boxing meets Escrima
This video tutorial introduces viewers to a martial arts technique known as the "Check Hook" or "Dragon's Tail Whip," particularly within the context of JSK (Jing Shen Kuoshu) Kali techniques. The instructor demonstrates and breaks down the movements, emphasizing its practical application for self-defense and it's adaptability for stunt work in videography.
Dragon's Tail Whip Execution
The technique involves a whipping motion with the arm, mimicking a dragon's tail.
The back of the knuckle leads the motion, rolling around the wrist and returning to the body.
The movement concludes in a "flashlight position," with the arm retracting from the extended whip motion to a reverse knife hook stance.
Incorporating Footwork
Essential to the technique is stepping off the line of attack.
The practitioner pushes off with the foot opposite to the hand holding the stick (or simulating the motion), turning the body to evade an incoming attack.
This step not only avoids the attack but also positions the practitioner to effectively counter with the dragon's tail whip.
Practice and Repetition
The instructor emphasizes the importance of repetition in mastering the movement.
Practitioners are advised to maintain distance to ensure the effectiveness of the whip.
Various drills are suggested, including slow-motion practice and adjustments based on the attacker's movements.
Body Movement and Defense
The technique also focuses on body dynamics without weaponry.
Practitioners are taught to push off the ball of the lead foot, simulating evasion and counter-attack movements.
Emphasis is placed on squeezing an imaginary object under the armpit to ensure proper elbow positioning, enhancing the power and precision of the strike.
Application and Variations
The video covers multiple applications and variations of the dragon's tail whip.
Techniques include knuckle rolling, slashes, stabs, and hammer fists, demonstrating the versatility of the movement.
Defensive positioning, such as keeping the head off the line of attack and maintaining a solid guard, is highlighted.
Follow-Up Techniques
The instructor demonstrates how to transition from the dragon's tail whip into other strikes or defensive maneuvers.
Options include palm heel strikes, elbow strikes, and punches, showing how the initial technique can flow into a comprehensive defensive strategy.
Safety and Practice
The video concludes with a reminder about the importance of safety and practice.
Viewers are encouraged to practice the movements slowly and with proper supervision until they are comfortable and proficient.
