The technique as I learned it, all those years ago:
Against an upper level punch with either hand from 12:00
- Left foot steps forward into a low horse to 12:00
- Simultaneous left rising block under either punch
- Right vertical or standing Eagle's Beak (Center knuckle punch for Non-Tracy folks) raking down the mid-line of the chest to the top of the pubic bone.
How do you interpret the technique? How do you teach it? What do you suspect you are really doing there? Are there any arcane or "hidden" targets there? How do you modify it if you do?
Sorry for the carry on ... I've seen this technique bantered around for years. I've seen it modified to a half fist strike to the throat, and other such. Just wondering how everyone else approaches it, and so on.
Oh... And for the Non-Tracy audience ... There is a B version taught that is simply the technique used off the other side. It is in the Short #2 kata.
