Out of curiousity, what range were you guys starting at?


Well there are three in BLJKD, which are Long-Med-Short!

Bob Bremer two weekends ago drop the Hammer Principle on me. He also taught it to me and everyone else at the WNG Camp in Las Vegas, NV. The ideal is the hand moves before the body and it drop down, just like hitting a nail with a hammer. The hand leaves the eye site, for a second until its to late for you to pick it up, the next thing you know is you just been hit in the forehead, LOL.......Crack-CA-Pow!

While I agree obscurity is a bennefit, it is not the reason.

So then at long range, what kind of footwork were you using?

Was a push shuffle enough to get you into punching range? Was any kind of bridging necessary first, such as a low hook kick?

I agree yes it can be used to crack the sternum or stop the heart if aimed correctly it is hip rotation and external energy if done rght, like throwing a baseball but the hand comes aroud at a 45 degree angle like a whip with hip rotation
