Greetings All,
When striking an opponent using depth penetration will send him away from you going backwards (sidekick).
When striking using width penetration the opponent will move away from you going to the side (roundhouse).
When striking using height penetration the opponent will move straight down or up (knee strike to groin or hammerfist down the nose).
Ever seen a strike that is a mixture to drop your opponent?
For example an elbow coming down in a 45 degree angle using height, width, and depth. The force of the blow is aimed so that the energy has no where to go but straight down (this is where I wish I had a video camera).
I am new to Kenpo and this concept blew me away.
Cheers.
