Not sure what they are. If we do them in my school, then I
haven't heard them refered to as a coordination drill. That being
said, my coordination could use some work, so clue me in!

At the Huk's seminar a week ago, he had us doing basic blocks
of the star blocking set ... he said to alternate hands each time.
He called up a block, (Upper, Outer, Inner, Downward) and we
were expected to do them quickly. It was VERY humbling. I've
been taking a strong pride in performing techs as strictly as
possible. The guys who I felt did techs on the sloppy end, were
able to just pop those blocks out, where as I kept screwing up! :(

Are all different drills...... however the development of Coordination is the the same intent.

Of the Kenpo Nautical Sea Scout Test........

Instructor; Ok my young Kenpo Sea Scout, tell me, what would you do if a storm blew up Port?

Kenpo Sea Scout, "Throw out anchor, sir!"

Instructor, Ok, well, What would you do if a storm blew up Starboard?

Kenpo Sea Scout, "Throw out anchor, sir!"

Instructor, I see and what would you do if a storm blew up Aft?

Kenpo Sea Scout, "Throw out anchor, sir!"

Instructor, Now just a dog-gone minute..... Just where are you getting all these anchors from?

Kenpo Sea Scout, "From the same place you are getting all the storms!" ........ Sir

Mr. C.
I seen you do the blocks. I thought I seen you do the same with kicks. What else do you have in the coordination drills after that. When I looked in your books I just leafed through too fast to register in my head but now I definately forget past the blocks and how they were to be done?
Salute,

As many times as I've performed short 1, broke it down to teach the white belts to do this it never came to me. I even like to teach 1 move at a time like this - right inward block step back with the left foot into right neutral bow. No need to bore anybody but I thnk you get the idea. Thanks Mr. C. for yet another lesson.

Tess,

Sailing is another passion of mine. Running lights on Boats are Red for Starboard (right) and green for Port (left.) So lets color code our tennis shoes and gloves to match the nautical system. By the way, they actually make sailing gloves with each glove the correct color. :wink2:

Dennis,

Yes, we still do the coordination sets as required material, and some of the variations, trailing 1, or trailing 2, and reverse with one-forward with one since that is in Blocking Set 2. We also do some of your leg exercises, since it fit in nicely with my old kicking style and I had tended to neglect combo kicks except in sparring.
