Yes, same with us. At lower levels, you learn
no.6 with a block. Lower intermediate you learn with a
dragon trap, then uppper intermediate you work on just
timing your kick.<br><br>I have a couple questions on
no.4 actually. After the redirect and face rake, I've
learned 2 different kicks. Originally, I learned it as a
downward ball roundhouse into twist, then to an axe.
Lately, we have been practicing a variation on this with
a shin roundhouse to the lead knee, straight to a
side kick to the rear knee and leaving out the axe
kick altogether. Comments? Does anyone else train this
technique multiple ways?<br><br>I've also been learning
some American Kenpo, my current favorite AK technique
is called Repeating Mace. Practiced against a left
hand push to your left shoulder, you pivot back on
your right foot as you do a left outward parry to
grab. At the same time, you right hammer the attacker's
kidney continuing through past the body. reverse your
strike to a right backfist to the solar plexus
continuing through again, then forearm strike to the elbow
and right roundhouse to the back of the knee driving
it into the ground. Still with me? I just love the
way this technique flows =)
