Objectives: At this level students are continuing to develop the concept of counter attack and adding more complex combinations to develop their distance and timing using belt grade kicking techniques. In addition, the student’s understanding of full-body connection is challenged by progression of combinations crossing the midline.
Movement Drill - In & Out: Jab high/Cross high/Jab low/Cross low - in lines in class
Combination Drill – Jab/Cross > Duck and Roll Left to Right > Cross (R) - in lines
Partner Drills
Jab for Jab/Cross for Cross (One person Jabs high and the other partner Jabs low > One person Crosses High and the other partner Crosses low & vice versa)
On the spot
Continuous in and out
Against a Jab/Cross > Parry both strikes, inner thigh kick (L), outer thigh kick (R)
Jab/Cross > partner Parries then Hooks (L) > Duck and Roll (Left to Right) > Straight Right (one for one)
Against person pressing or moving in > Front Foot Side Kick/Turning Back Kick
Cross-hand grab > C6 Fan Lock.
Punch > C5 Corkscrew > block and stick to the hand > grab hand with both arms > go under arm with their forearm stuck to your chest > turn towards attacker to apply pain > release grip slightly and keep turning > press their elbow down using shoulder so they go down on one knee.
Double shoulder grab > C4 Face Push > go in > deflect one arm > palm to chin > they do back fall
Single shoulder grab > C1 Wing Lock try to step back before they settle their grip - this makes them stretch out their arm as they try to grab your shoulder - if they surprise you and grab your shoulder and their arm is bent then it is too late to step back - so in this case step to the outside and pull their elbow in using your hip to hurt their shoulder, then do the wing lock using your legs and hips > C3 Z Lock > C2 Elbow Knifehand > attacker finishes on their stomach. Strike to neck optional.
Single hand push 45° to the right 3 times then 45° to the left 3 times. Eyes watching front hand at all times. Inspiration as arm is bent, expiration as it is extended.
Feet one shoulder width apart, palms together and raise arms to sides on inspiration (like graceful bird). Lower arms and hands in semi circle on expiration. Do 8 repetitions and finish with feet together and arms coming down to sides.
Large Intestine 20 – can be used as alternate to face push using index and middle finger
Triple Heater 3 – can be used in fan lock
Blending from one technique to another smoothly
