I hold the same opinion of Donnelly's attitude as Mr. Pfrenger does. Holding the forearm parralel to the ground like Donnelly does and throwing out the left...
On the chopper bandwagon.... I learned and I teach it (all examples using right hand reverse rinse repeat): horizontal left to right diagonal left to right ...
... And I was taught this exact application (and other angles) as part of my training in Shobudo Jujitsu. It isn't taught as a knife strike, though. Keith -- ...
... Thank you Mr. Lawson. Although I am perfectly comfortable with the drop step and the method of coming forward with the right foot off the ground (I have...
... Precisely, as a return from the block you describe, either to the bridge of the nose or to the spot between the eyebrows as described by Godfrey. ... Best...
On Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 6:39 PM, Kirk Rabid Weasel Lawson ... I was expressing doubt that the Donnelly lead-off was in fact a backfist. I don't doubt that the...
... Don't doubt it. Terry is right. The chopper had at lest two variants and the bridge of the nose and brow ridge are primary targets. The down-sweeping...
... OK, after reviewing the Donnelly material I can say that my memory of the text was way off. The Lead Off in question is a variation of the (more or less)...

... Hey everybody. First Donnnelly's attitude is much like the traditional lpr stance except that he has the right toe in line with the left heel, the right...

... Not completely true. A backfist or hammerfist functions perfectly well without the wrist and elbow being aligned with the direction of force. In fact,...
... I've never read Donnelly. So, I can't comment specifically on your interpretation of the text. However, mechanically the wrist and the elbow need to be...
... It's been a while since I read Donnelly, but, ims, his lead off was intended to be a distraction and/or setup for something else. It's not a power punch,...
Donnelly's lead off in his book seems to be unique out of all the manuals I have read in that he says you should strike with the palm up and the elbow down....
Ken, Funny, that we were taught the same move in Zipota(DDLR)... a fair "proper" attack and then *bang*!.... One ofe my fav's Dirk ... elbow on ... spaced...if...
In Godfrey's treaty he talks about an attitude that involves having the lead leg bent with the head in line with the lead knee,the hands up and the stomach...
