okay, the interrelated footwook helped it click along with the the type of attacks...I hadn't thought about that at all. now here's another question, Mr. Seigel has given many examples of forward, opposite, and reverse motions, e.g.: a right punch would be forward, opposite would be a left punch, and reverse motion would be a right reverse elbow. now, would a left rear twist be the opposite or reverse of a left front twist?jfarnsworth said:Well yes they are obviously geared towards multiple attackers as there are a total of 10 2-man techniques in the system. Each in their own right give specific ideas on how to handle 2 attackers. Since we are on C.T.T & F.O.F. Let's stay with that.
You can group many different ways but as long as you are specifically clear in your mind as to how and why and can back up your statements then there are no problems .
1) Types of the attacks. FOF shoulder level stiff arm grabs. CTT even closer 2 hand grab to each wrist by the attacker. Your dealing with different ranges yet both on the flank sides.
2) FOF deals with the attackers standing up and teaches you to spin inbetween the attackers. CTT deals with the attackers on one knee. So I would say they are related with the attackers fully standing and to one knee.
3) Look at the footwork pattern between the 2 techniques. FOF teaches you to spin but teaches you to front kick step behind into a rear twist then sidekick the attacker. CTT teaches you a slicing knife edge kick the plants into a front twist to knee strike the attackers front leg and sidekick the posting leg. I would say they are related in the footwork pattern.
I like to talk technique relationship but gots nobody to do it with here.
