KihonMechanics #5 | The Straight Punch - Why & How [Part 3 of 3]

@05:20 - Whether this method is specifically Kanazawa's method or Shotokan in general, or certain ryuha/styles, I'm uncertain. If you do know do let me know in the comment section

Steps of practice:

1. Structure
2. Practice Extension & Retraction only (without wrist rotation).
3. Practice Wrist Rotation only (without elbow rotation)
4. Sequence
5. Connect
6. Combine

Getting the structure:

1. Hold your forearm in front of your face and fist pointed up.
2. Relax (drop) your shoulders.
3. Hold a fist, and turn the wrist to face the palm forwards.
4. Drop your fist down and forward until the arm is straightened.
5. Pull back the other hand to a Hiki-te
6. Drop (relax) your shoulders again. 
7. Ensure the first two knuckles are the outermost part of the fist.

The shoulder has the greatest range of motion in the human body, but this sacrifices stability as a joint. Its is a comprised of a ball and socket joint with three moving bones. The three bones to consider:

1. Humerus (upper arm bone)
2. Scapula (shoulder baled)
3. Clavicle (collar bone)

There are four main reasons for using the hips.

1. wrist takes impact only from lengthwise into your forearm from the face of the knuckles
2. point of impact at first two knuckles; not fore-knuckles
3. condition your knuckles and wrists to take heavy impacts
4. do not block with your backfists

Here I demonstrate a punch without the without any force from the arm, to demonstrate the importance of the hips in every technique.

Facebook.com/KarateZad | KarateZad YouTube

This video continues off from the previous video to combine the following components.

1. The extending forward of and pulling back of the arm's. That is the Tsuki, or the punch.
2. The rotation of the hips on Zenkutsu-dachi.

Three stages of training:

1. Sequence - perform one component after another with a pause in between
2. Connect - No dissipation of Hip Momentum; Hip drives the arm
3. Combine - both components starts as well as ends at the same time

InDojo | Bassai-Sho (Shito-ryu) with Breakdown | KarateZad

Facebook.com/KarateZad | KarateZad YouTube

Myself practicing the Shito-ryu variation of the kata Bassai Sho. You will see me performing the whole kata, as well as breaking down each move into two (2) or three (3) parts, then combining them into a single move again. They are broken down as such so that I can retain stability even when performing with speed, as well as to apply the 'correct' stroke for effective execution at every technique.

There are four main reasons for using the hips.

1. Mass
2. Retaining speed
3. Reduce Telegraphy
4. Reach

I’ll be breaking apart the technique, Zenkutsu-dachi Chudan-tsuki, into major components:

1. The extension and retraction of the arms - the Tsuki/punch
2. The rotation of the hips (Koshi-waza) on Zenkutsu-dachi

5 things to keep in mind for Koshi-waza on Zenkutsu-dachi:

1. Ensure correct stance structure.
2. Ensure no change of feet position.
3. Ensure the hips does not roll or pitch, but only yaws.
4. Ensure there is no change of height.
5. Ensure the knee of the leading leg, or ‘lead-knee’, does not change position.

4-step training for Koshi-waza on Zenkutsu-dachi:

1. Extension (of back leg)
2. Rotation
3. Combine with height-lock
4. #3 with knee-lock

KihonMechanics #1 | The Three Momentums

Facebook.com/KarateZad | KarateZad YouTube

In every striking technique, regardless of which martial and whether it is with the hands, feet, knees or elbows, there are three different sources of momentum to consider. 
1. Limb/Speed Momentum
2. Hip/Mass Momentum
3. Whole/Range Momentum

First Momentum - Limb/Speed Momentum: regarding the arm or leg itself that will deliver the blow. Its major contribution to the technique is speed.

Second Momentum - Hip/Mass Momentum: regarding the rotation of the hips whilst executing the striking technique. Its major contribution to the technique is mass.

Third Momentum - Whole/Range Momentum: regarding the movement of the entire body forward with a step or lunge as part of the technique. Its major contribution to the technique is range.
