Because of trolls who utterly lack the same experience, we lose that.
Sanjuro-Ronin, could you, at some point, send me the sort of vid you were talking about? It would be of practical use to me, and I would truly appreciate that. If not, I understand, if so, thank you profusely.
Way to go trolls who claim to want more practical usage amongst kung fu people.
I don't know if this illustrates exactly what you were after, but this is a video of an exercise that tests and demonstrates short 'shock' or twitch reflex power.
How the game works:
You lay your forearm across your partners chest, (opposite side from the heart for obvious reasons). This spreads the shock out across the ribcage, reducing the penetration.
Then you try to drive your forearm into your partner -
They have to feel your movement, and deflect or absorb the attack.
This also dovetails nicely with that thread about Kimbo getting boxing tips, and the focus on telegraphing.
The difference is, you are in full contact, both the attacker's arm, and the defenders block, there is no space.
Its just a training game, much like playing 'bloody knuckles', because even in a benign manner, it has a bit of bite.
Can you see doing a similar kind of technique, with perhaps a shaped fist, or an elbow, focussed at a weak target might be an effective? Short shot in a cinch?
