    ive knocked peope down easily sparring with it its a combination of the fact that my lead hand is my power hand as well and the expolsive whipping power in goju that i applied to boxing punches as well
    and the makiawara its good for building expolsive force
    combining asian methods of delivering power with boxing has really worked for me

    I've knocked people down with a good stiff jab, and I've knocked the fight out of them, but I have not knocked them unconscious with a jab. I'm sure MK could cite to the number of times somone has been knocked out in an MMA fight with a jab but I think it typically takes a corss or hook etc to hit the right spot with enough force.

    a lot of peopel even mma guys dont know how to torque there hips properly when they punch i practice it constantly thats why i can deliver that force in a jab i am extermely double jointed in my hips too so i may get extra rotation than the average bloke

  4. thats not the stance that is taught at csc

    close but not quite..some glaring differences in fact

    ill try to post a pic of myself in the stance that is universal throughout the schools (i have trained with all but 1 of the current instructors in csc including the soards and have seen the correct stance as it is taught by all of them)



    and goju..id love to cross hands with you sometime. I have 5 years in csc and would like to see what differences (if any) there are between myself and face palm(is that who you sparred?)

    Looks different from what I know too. I am still wondering about the leaning forward that he keeps talking about.

    The 60/40 distribution as ive seen should not cause you to lean forward in any way. Infact "leaning" of any kind, other than laughing Buddha of course, is discouraged shifting the body while keeping upright is encouraged.

    From the stance Goju was making id say that thats what I interpreted it as at first. You know the 1890's boxer technique. But Ive come to see it as being more relaxed. Maybe you might be waiting with a little more weight on that front leg but I always try to keep my body ****her back in the stance.

    Gojo, If you were taught that stance as a way to fight...I would have gone wtf too......FYI I been in SD for 35 years and never seen anything like that....if I fought someone like that I would probably lose the match from laughing myself to death. By the way there is no official SD fighting stances...each person has to develop that for themselves.....with that said the sparring techniques are taught in a standard way for teaching purposes...you can then take that and develop what works for you.
