karate drills

hello i'm sifu mallon with the clearwaterkung fu center and this is my assistant melissa and this is kick boxing. we are working anotherpad drill and this is called lead hook, rear upper cut, step through so the combinationis a linking combination. so you can do this drill over and over so to begin with we startfrom our fighting stance, our hands are up. we turn our body slightly to the left andbring our right hand forward and we throw

the left lead hook, one, then we come forward,left hand comes to my face and my right hand throws the upper cut, two, now from here myload up i am going to twist back this way and my weight goes to my right foot and myright shoulder pulls my left hand forward and i step in, lead hook, rear upper cut.twist and follow through with the step. we

are going to do it slow for you then we'llgo a little bit quicker so you can see and we'll point out some of the finer detailsstarting. so we start from here my left hand is up, my elbows are down into my body. melissais here and now she is going to load the body this way and she is going to bring this handforward and twist. she is going to throw her lead hook, one, then she is going to twisther body up, upper cut, two. now she is going to roll the body back, load and i'm goingto step back and this right hand turns down, lead hook, upper cut. again she rolls, i stepback, twist, step in, one, two, stay, now she is going to twist and i'll step, one,two. repeating the combination again. going a little bit harder for us melissa, one, two,twist, step in, one, two now stay. this twist

move can work as a counter for your otherpad so if you get a little bit quicker with this right, so as she throws so go lead up,so throw a lead hook for me. now upper cut. now here as she twists this way this can belike this guy had thrown this punch back so she twists away from it then steps in, leadhook, upper cut, o'kay now this hand goes forward she twists, step in, hook, upper cut.good melissa. so this is a moving combination again developing this ability to twist, setup and have proper body mechanics as we are punching. this is moving lead hook, rear uppercut, kick boxing combination.
