Also, a "what if" for you regarding rebounding, elastic recoil, and slap checking. "What If" the positioned checks were placeholders. "Keep your hand here until we start discussing gaseous phase executions...we'll call it a positioned check, then come back to it later to show you what else you can do with it."

Can it serve as a platform for rebounding into orbital shifts (along with, as mentioned earlier, the walls, ground, other environemtal elements, the bad guys body parts, your body parts...etc.)?

The easy answer is, "of course". The harder answer is, "How so?"


I thought that this would make a good thread on it's own.

So HOW do you use your positional checks as placeholders and turn them into an "active hand" instead of just holding them there just in case the attacker throws a strike there. In reality, if one looks at the positional checks, many of them seem to be doing nothing because of what we have already done to the opponent. For example, yellow belt technique "Delayed Sword" we just kicked them in the groin and bent them over, and then struck a knifehand to their throat/neck. The left hand is held there as a positional check for what?

Positional checks are called points of reference. These are decision points for your next strike.
