Reminds me of Rolling Fist. It is a similar technique from Pinan shodan/nidan.Blocking a right cross on the way in.

What style do you practice.
I always like how martial arts starts off with something that looks"boring" and "useless" then after doing the "boring and useless" the results show the value in the stuff that is often thought of as boring and useless.These two videos show what I did over the years to get fast combinations.
This video is some bag training.
...and the next video is what I got from it. Realize, I didn't do this for sparing or for the ring.
Well said and I am complete agreement with your statement.I always like how martial arts starts off with something that looks"boring" and "useless" then after doing the "boring and useless" the results show the value in the stuff that is often thought of as boring and useless.
Much respect for sharing your video and putting your training out there.
1. It's not easy to do that because it puts you in the spotlight for all sorts of criticisms
2. Not everything can do it. Some people have their hands tied behind their back from teachers who do not want student to share on video.
Repetition is one of the most important yet THE MOST BORING thing about martial arts. At least to me.
Thanks for sharing the video
Nice, I love your history. I trained a little bit of Ed Parker Kenpo out of Great Falls Montana, I don't remember the guys name though. And, some Chinese Kempo there as well.I started in '69. My instructor trained with Ip Man in Hong Kong, then moved to California at 17 around '65 or '66, and trained with Ed Parker. I met him in another small city near LA in '69 at 14. He taught me his own hybrid system....not unusual back then. He completely customized my training to suit my abilities, but somewhat based on both Wing Chun and Kenpo. I added Tai Chi structure based on the 108 move set, a little JKD...and what I found applicable from a number of other systems. He insisted I find the things that are suited to me and make it my own. Since '76, I'm self taught based on the early structures I learned, what I've studied that made sense to me...haha and a lot of street fighting.
A couple examples of how he taught me:
A lot of one on one sparring with him exlporing a lot of different techniques.
He didn't teach me any sets...katas. He told me to create them myself and he would correct them.
He also wanted me to do spontaneous sets fighting 2 to 4 opponents.
He didn't want to teach me moves. He wanted me to learn how to move. I'm not saying that's right or wrong, it was just what he thought was right for me.
