Short Punch

It's important to learn to be able to make power from a short distance.  This is my attempt to demonstrate this through a short punch.   I'm certainly no Bruce Lee :)

Yoko Geri

Another short video for my students to reference.  This is yoko geri (side kick) performed in a thrusting manner. This is a little different than we normally practice in class as we tend to do side snap kick.

Mae Geri

This short video is of mae geri (front kick).  I am exaggerating the thrust at the end quite a bit and this is probably not how you would want to always practice it as this can compromise your balance and ability to recover quickly from the technique.

Uraken

This is a short video of myself doing Uraken (backlist) technique.  I regret it's not as good as I would like for video demonstration purposes, but I diid want to put it on here for the benefit of my students.

There are several different ways that we normally practice uraken. In this performance, I am demonstrating from a position similar to the first move in Naihanchi Nidan, and the strike goes out sideways, coordinated with the koshi motion. The hand should stay relaxed until contact, then snap into the target. As the koshi returns so should the first.

Asian Festival Demo

This video is from the Asian Festival on Saturday.

Thanks to everyone who participated!
