There is so many different martial arts around the world these days.
All created for different reasons and in different environments.
Most of them have been invented as a development of some other styles, more traditional, like kung fu,karate,judo. With believe of improving their usefulness.
Don't matter what style you are working on, when it comes to striking ( kicking, punching, knees or elbows ). Sooner or later you will find out that the most accurate, fastest and safest way of executing the strikes comes in the straight line. Within your body line.
Most of the time when teaching others basic techniques like hook punches,turning kicks, knees and elbows.
People tent to swing they limbs and tense their muscle believing that is where the power comes from.
The magic hides behind the right technique of going in and out. It is all about right footwork, positioning, twist, extension with the hits and coming back same way it came out.
Even those fancy techniques as spinning hook kick,spinning back hand and strikes requiring spinning and turning.
Even those executed correctly should be going out within the body line right after the spin.
To achieve that I have found very useful of practicing right next to the wall.
Standing in the fighting stands with leading leg close to the wall and mastering those jabbing hand punches,all variations including the hooks.
Working on those front leg kicks as well as back leg spinning techniques.
All that without touching the wall.
I remember while ago when Sir (my coach) has explained to me how to make it work.
He said that I should imagine that "I am in body width corridor facing skilled opponent, I have to fight him with all I've got".
It is always good to be able throw shots from different angles but I believe we should all learn the right way of basics first.
Have a great practice everyone.
Take care
