Hi everyone! Thank you Joe, Jack and Dieter for the nice comments.
Yep, i'm aware that on the edit, it shows the attacker not moving too much, lol. Oh, well.
The only answer to that I can really give is, my next clips will be better!
But, seriously, if you notice the footwork on the clips, you'll see in many cases I was ready to move in many directions, in addition to 'entering' following the initial cuts.
In addition, on the DVD, I demonstrate my most basic cuts as being those using a hinge action of the elbow. This is a very rapid movement and allows for readiness to follow up on ANY given response following the attacker's initial response, and also in addition ready to counter any reflexive reaction that the attacker may follow up with.
Using various footwork, negates many of attacker's would be responses as I'm already on the move following cuts... also, using a trainer, obviously negates many reactions following a true cut or thrust. If you all examine the direction, line and flow of my cuts, you'll see that my cuts are directed in ways that a usual person would respond to following an injury received in those directions. <hope this is clear?>
I wanted to demonstrate several things in the clips... the type of cutting patterns used, the flow of patterns, the need for practicing more than a single cut response, and footwork.
I sincerely appreciate all the feedback gentlemen!!! Let's all stay in touch, and I sincerely hope you appreciate the dvd efforts!!
With respect and friendship always,
Guro Jeff
PS Level 2 DVD will be available by the end of this week as well!
