How many still practice the original coordination drills?

[Goldendragon7]

Orange thru Green

[Kirk]

Not sure what they are. If we do them in my school, then I
haven't heard them refered to as a coordination drill. That being
said, my coordination could use some work, so clue me in!

 

[Goldendragon7]

rr ll rl lr

Inward
Vertical outward
Extended outward
Upward
downward

creates 100 permutations

Universal blocking set is first taught to all white belts at our school along with kenpo punch .. and is part of the drills in our College karate classes we teach.

Amazing how many after months of repeatedly doing them, still get their coordination screwed up

 

[Seig]

I'm ready to take a big red permanent marker and mark rh, lh, rf, lf on them so they know which their right hand, etc are.

 

[Goldendragon7]

or bring red and green socks and gloves to class.... Red for the right hand and foot Green for the Left hand and foot. Class remindes you of the Cat in the Hat but it works!
:rofl:

[KenpoTess]

Oh Lord, I'm soooo doomed~!!! Trained as a nurse I see the person in front of my in anatomical position.. their right is mirrored of me. So I've become (shhh dont tell anyone) soooo dyslexic when I'm reading a technique.. step back with left.. yep.. you guessed it.. my right goes back.. Doomed I say.. the other night I was teaching Leap of Death .. I said. Step back with left foot. Every single one but one student stepped back with their right (which is correct) except one.. who questioned me.. I just quirked a brow and he looked and saw my feet were in the proper postion.. "oh silly me .. he said.. They ALL know to do opposite of what I say.. hahaa ~! Pathetic aren't I

 

[Goldendragon7]

NO........ but damn'd entertaining!!

:rofl:

 

[KenpoTess]

*beams happily*

Are cordination set, finger set and kicking set part of these or something else all together?


:asian:

 

[Kirk]

At the Huk's seminar a week ago, he had us doing basic blocks
of the star blocking set ... he said to alternate hands each time.
He called up a block, (Upper, Outer, Inner, Downward) and we
were expected to do them quickly. It was VERY humbling. I've
been taking a strong pride in performing techs as strictly as
possible. The guys who I felt did techs on the sloppy end, were
able to just pop those blocks out, where as I kept screwing up!

Are all different drills...... however the development of Coordination is the the same intent.

Mr. C.
I seen you do the blocks. I thought I seen you do the same with kicks. What else do you have in the coordination drills after that. When I looked in your books I just leafed through too fast to register in my head but now I definately forget past the blocks and how they were to be done?

We still have the test requirement of all the coordination Drills.

ok there are several hand options........

either R ight hand then R ight hand again
or
L eft hand then L eft hand again
or
R ight hand then L eft hand
or
L eft hand then R ight

pick one.........
then
add any of the blocking possibilities....... such as....

lets choose........ R - L
then the blocks....... Inward ......... Vertical Outward
or
Upward block (R) then Downward Block (L)
etc etc using different combinations of blocks

first choose which arms to use
then which blocks to use

Thats the Orange Belt Coordination Drill

Tess,

Sailing is another passion of mine. Running lights on Boats are Red for Starboard (right) and green for Port (left.) So lets color code our tennis shoes and gloves to match the nautical system. By the way, they actually make sailing gloves with each glove the correct color. :wink2:

Dennis,

Yes, we still do the coordination sets as required material, and some of the variations, trailing 1, or trailing 2, and reverse with one-forward with one since that is in Blocking Set 2. We also do some of your leg exercises, since it fit in nicely with my old kicking style and I had tended to neglect combo kicks except in sparring.

As it turns out I have a pair of sailing socks a friend brought back from the UK. Maybe I'll start wearing them on the nights I wear my TKD shoes for grappling...hmmm
Cheers,

Um, that sounds backward. I always thought it was green for starboard and red for port. Now, if a vessel is coming at you, then their red light would be on your starboard and their green light would be on your port.

Yes?
