Thank you! Keep 'em coming! I haven't been able to practice in years, but I feel I will be able to regain my proficiency if I just follow your tutorials, they are very comprehensive!
Very good video! Sparring is my weakest thing and your videos give me a lot to keep in mind. Hopefully I can get a bit more confident bringing your advice forward with me.
Great vid! The only thing that I have concern about is the comment that one cannot use punches effectively with the majority of the weight on the back leg (ei a 60/40 spilt) that may hold true in tkd but there is plenty of other arts that use effective hand techniques from that weight distribution. I enjoyed the section on the three rings distancing, excellent!
I am really glad that you liked this tutorial. I totally understand what your are saying. Hands techniques can be effective without your body weight behind them, but they will be far less powerful and therefore less effective from that position. They can still cause damage, but less than they otherwise would. That makes it a better time to attack. The 3 circles/rings and the foundation of my fighting strategy. It has worked pretty well for me so far and i have been elaborating on it quite a bit. I go into it in more detail in my blocking tutorial and in my reading telegraphs tutorial which I think is my best sparring video.Though the where to look when you are fighting one is pretty important. Sorry to go on. Thanks for commenting. I appreciate your feedback.
I appreciate your feedback as well :) If it's working for you, then that's all that matters. Personally, I have found success in using a different weight distribution on hand techniques, that's not to say that I have not learned some things from your videos. Only just that I may implement some of your ideas in my current system, but leave what is working for me as functional until i have empirical evidence to suggest otherwise. So yes, I greatly enjoyed your videos and will continue to do so, forgive me for my observation. I simply just wrote what inherently what works for me and I train specifically in close quarters combat and have found various weight distributions to be effective in certain situations vs sport situations. I'm sure you understand, all the best. Keep up the vids! It helps me with high kicks! :) Sorry for the lengthy comment, much respect.
+Bruce Clark lol I hear you. I made the move and I still have trouble remembering to use them all when sparring. I was at a tournament and didn't remember until half way through the fight. Once I did I started doing much better. :) Good luck, I hope you do well.
Let one of your students executed a round kick the way as you explained in the Secret Of The Pivot tutorial. Try to put your lower arm against the kick as you are doing here: 2:27 in your video, and watch what is going to happen. If your students are not as good kickers as you are, do it three times.
I am practicing WTF Taekwondo, but your lessons may be very useful for our kind of sparring too! Thank you very much! Hope, one day I'll find ITF Taekwondo nearby my city to practice it as well, like, how it looks!:)
+Bruce Clark This is sort of a compilation of stuff I have learned from lots of places and teachers over the years coupled with an in depth study of Sun Tzu's work I did in order to write my book "The Martial Arts Manual" available on amazon. I am really glad that you liked it.
I picked them up from a variety of places. Some from my teacher Garry W. Dyals. and some I gleaned while studying Sun Tzu's works. and others I figured out for myself. I am really happy that you find it useful though.
The Holy Scripture - The Torah does instruct / teach us not to put any barrier - impediment before the blind person, let alone fighting - attacking the blind person… But it’s a great tutorial! Thank you very much, Simon!
Thanks, I have a feeling that the Sanhedrin, or the Talmud would make an exception if the Blind person was attacking you or if they had Dare Devil style other senses. But... I appreciate your feedback. :) Thanks for commenting.
You are positive that by the WTF rules, you can wave your hand in someone's face before you attack? I've heard of different styles where fighters just do 'jazz hands' to pull attention towards their hands before they attack.
The first rule is what this guy needs to work on he's never facing his oppponent always running away and facing back words I've noticed this being a common theme with tkd guys theses days at "competitions" not so much karate guys
A good suggestion dear girl. I have seen quite a bit of those martial arts. And it is undeniably true that their pracitioners do not rush in willy nilly when ever they feel like it. They usually attack when their opponent is not suspecting it They attack when their opponent is grabbing them or jumping from behind a tree. Their attacks are vicious and direct. But if their opponent is expecting an attack they still attack when it is advantageous not just because. They attack when their opponent blinks, they throw their hands in faces and in eyes. They attack when their opponent is off balance/full facing or inhaling. (at least the skilled ones do. The beginners may not be there yet and still attack when ever they feel like it. But the skilled Krav masters time their attacks to succeed). I hope that helps with your concerns.
Love them..one thing..my two cents lol .. I see Kenny Wheldon a boxing coach say that having your weight on the back foot is best for boxing because you use the loaded leg to generate power by pushing off from it. I've noticed similarity with Taekwondo..namely the emphasis on the lead foot and punch landing simulatenously. But I thought his video showed that the L -stance was actually excellent for punching AND lead leg kicking. ruclips.net/video/MZPhXpjlpu0/видео.html
DaveJones876 Hi Dave. Thanks for the input. Appreciated. I would agree that having your weight on the back leg lets you shift forward to generate momentum and move your mass into the attack. The actual execution of a punch is good on either leg depending on how you drop and rotate into it and where the opponent is. I have a video on the 7 elements of power and I talk about this one specifically. ruclips.net/video/YxqXFJJrMUM/видео.html
Thanks Simon Scher ..he ..Kenny Weldon..also suggests that a stance similar to an L stance is best for fighting..because..it keeps your head further back from attack.. interesting..validation for taekwondo stances
I am not saying that you should go out and find a blind person to fight. I am saying that if it were a matter of life and death. your new baby's life is on the line if you don't win and you have to choose between a sighted and a blind person, fighting the blind person would give you and advantage that I personally would take. No in a sparring match, when an opponent closes their eyes they are like a blind person. So attacking when they blink would give you that advantage. I can understand your reluctance to fight disabled people though, and I agree with that in principal.
+Alfreda Calbert It is only cheap if you have not ratified with your opponent/partner such strategies as part of the game. At which time it goes from a cheap shot to a deeper aspect of your strategy. Using terrain and environment. But either way, I am really glad that you liked the other 5 suggestions. :). Good luck in your training.

No worries. To each what works for them. I am glad I could help. Please let me know what your research turns up 😀
sparring tonight, im going to try and apply some of these techniques tonight. easier said then done tho :)

Hopefully you do, I much prefer itf and enjoying using punches in combination with my kicks
@@TwinkleToesButson for now it was only a bit of ashihara-karate:)
exultant tips, thanks sir. did you learn them from the ITF seminar or are they self taught?
+Bruce Clark This is sort of a compilation of stuff I have learned from lots of places and teachers over the years coupled with an in depth study of Sun Tzu's work I did in order to write my book "The Martial Arts Manual" available on amazon. I am really glad that you liked it.
Very helpful video! Do you learn these things from book or you figure out yourself?
I picked them up from a variety of places. Some from my teacher Garry W. Dyals. and some I gleaned while studying Sun Tzu's works. and others I figured out for myself. I am really happy that you find it useful though.
If youre not allowed to punch in the head, Can you put your hand in front of someone's face?

I don't know about how these strategies would work with wtf rules. But this does tend to work when you are sparring or fighting.
The first rule is what this guy needs to work on he's never facing his oppponent always running away and facing back words I've noticed this being a common theme with tkd guys theses days at "competitions" not so much karate guys
Simon Scher : try and see some krav maga and systema dear little boy

Attack when they blink
Yes, that is a good one.
I would not fight a blind person.
I am not saying that you should go out and find a blind person to fight. I am saying that if it were a matter of life and death. your new baby's life is on the line if you don't win and you have to choose between a sighted and a blind person, fighting the blind person would give you and advantage that I personally would take.

I know what you mean. It's the analogy that you used. It left you wide open.
............ doesn't anyone want to fight Ian Cook?
I've only read 3 comments and I want to stove his mind in
#3 when your opponent looks away is a cheap shot. Everything else is great.
+Alfreda Calbert It is only cheap if you have not ratified with your opponent/partner such strategies as part of the game. At which time it goes from a cheap shot to a deeper aspect of your strategy. Using terrain and environment. But either way, I am really glad that you liked the other 5 suggestions. :). Good luck in your training.
