I would love to see more videos like these. Good job playing to your audience, too- I wonder how some of the past masters would have fared trying to compete for the attention of children with iphones! hahaha

Martial arts has always been my life pation. My experience teaching has taught me people retain more when they associate a good experience with the materials presented. It's much easier for me to make it fun than to be a drill instructor.

I want to get more instructions from u. Where can i find u?

[@OldBadger1]

Have you ever met a boxer?. (And yes i am an FMA practitioner).

[@OctoBox]

When someone advances quickly and doesn't telegraph the side they are going to throw with AND when they throw as fast ad they can you'll never be able to pull off these moves
The benefit of loobud hoobud or the 4 count pattern is for the ability to regain the bridge for disarming weapons or attacking arms HOWEVER at some point they mistakenly became about "defense" or counter attacking......this is nonsense because unpredictable real attacks are too fast to do that many movements

[@petervargas2279]

FYI... I already mentioned before the demonstration that they were "Training" "Drills"... What better way than drills to train hand eye and reflexes where both the drill leader and student can participate without injury? Let's see some your videos since you are obviously looking for some attention.

[@Theroadneverending]

These are drills.
They are for situations
You train multiple drills so you develop speed and coordination. A boxer doesn’t just train a jab and expect to only use a jab.
