i hope one day i can move half as well and be as strong! in the chinese wrestling ruleset - is dropping your opponent a common strategy? in certain competition rules (for BJJ and other types of wrestling) you get told not to drop your opponent but the land him on his back.
It might not be obvious but there is a block being applied by my good self - I have him waistlocked and driven; that is one reason why he is pointing out the importance of the stiff arm. A scissor is not as easy to pull off with the lockdown so he uses that DWL instead. This is a good way to catch out a lot of BJJ players because the kimura/bump/guillotine/scissor combo from here is very common and this introduces a different dimension
Awesome, awesome video mam. Man, I really like this video, I haven't see many people explain this quite as clearly as you do. Could you explain why when you hit you chose to have your palm facing you rather then palm facing down, if that makes any sense?
There isn't a right or wrong here. Some will teach it one way, some another. For me having the palm face me reduces the risk of turning the wrist on impact and injuring yourself.
That's why I respect this thread, most forums wouldn't get passed the first three pages without fighting. I prefer the same method of throwing hooks to the body. I teach it this way first too, because I like the bone alignment, and it makes sure that you punch with your feet and body.
In Chinese wrestling, the most brutally technique is the "head dropping". If you drop your opponent - in front of you, it's called to get off bus from the front door. - behind of you, it's called to get off bus from the back door. You can't drop your opponent in "sport". It can end with group fist fight after the "sport". In Chinese wrestling, you have 2 different training. One used in friendly "sport" environment. One used in street situation or to deal with unfriendly challenger.
Here's a kickboxing combination I filmed. I love the big bag for conditioning, it also makes sure you have a solid stance. I love throwing this sort of combination in competition. http://youtu.be/yMkW8UsRTzA
The original idea was to post our own videos. Nothing stopping you posting a video elsewhere though (general martial arts for example) and asking a question there.
you could always cheat by filming your own version and then post someone else's video as a further example though *runs and hides*
Lol- no way! I am extremely camera shy! Hid from pictures being taken at my niece's 2 year b-day party. No one would know I was there from the pictures taken. After hiding for years from video's made for my school and posted on their site and youtube site. They managed to get me in one for a couple of seconds. My teacher laughed because she knew how hard I had avoided being in one. (And because she is the same way and I always gleefully pointed out when she was in one.) I'll just stick to watching and reading here.
Thanks for posting Lee. I particularly like the way that you keep your guard up during the round-house. To many videos show people letting the arm rotate back as the kick comes in. Sound advice on going slow in learning. Technique first and speed and power will follow.
An excellent example of what I was on about above. See how the green cloves counter-rotates his arm most times he throws a roundhouse kick. Not a good habit.

Even professional Thai fighters do that sometimes. 2.21 in this video as an example... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42_wg7ntHHk]12 Coins[/ame] I think it's something that's easier to say, and do on pads and bags, than it is in a live environment (especially at novice and amateur levels). It is certainly something to be wary of though. I've made the mistake of letting the hand opposite to my kicking leg wander on a few occasions when reaching for a long kick.
Hang on, are you talking about his arm on the side he's kicking with (right in this case) or the other one?
