Essentials Of Fighting

The “Essentials of fighting” video was developed to help students/instructors transition from basic karate techniques to fighting techniques that can be used in free style sparring. Generally, kihon practice has to be modified to be effective in the flowing give and take of kumite (sparring). The techniques presented in this video are the foundation for effective fighting for beginner and advanced students alike. They include:

Sparring stance
Sparring chamber
Hip action drills
Forward, backward and sideward stepping to neutralize attacks
Connecting punch, kick, punch combinations
Eliminating gaps between techniques to minimize counter attacks
Follow up sweeps to take your opponent down

Ippon Kumite Vol. 1

This video was filmed recently in Warwick, New York at a Mountain Teachings workshop series seminar. It contains 15 Ippon techniques (one-steps) dealing with a variety of hand and foot attacks. These techniques are normally taught over a 3 year period as a requirement to advance through the belt system from beginner to Black Belt. The DVD has an authored menu with 15 individual chapters, one for each Ippon for your viewing convenience.
Each of the fifteen techniques are taught slow and then at normal speed to demonstrate their flowing movements. You will learn how to defend against high and low attacks and to move quickly and easily from one technique to another at the fastest possible speed.
