Elliptical Motion
I remember when I first learned Retreating Pendulum I was taught that the downward block was to continue it's motion into a large circular path leading to the hammer fist.
Eventually I learned to shorten the circle, and now I am pondering Eliptical Motion. If anyone hasn't played with this type of motion, I would definately suggest it. The Ellipse seemed to magnify the power that I was generating from torque, direcitonal harmony, and marriage of gravity. Certainly seemed as if I were able to better rebound off the opponent's leg, and EXPLODE through with the hammer. Something about it seemed to change the body mechanics.
Everywhere I plug this motion in I seem to get a similar response. Maybe it's just me.
Love to hear some opinions.
