Agreed at the point of being there. I'm considering the dynamic situation. I wouldn't enter just to be in that position, so there would be some advantage in me going there. If my entrance takes structure, much of that mechanical advantage is academic (they won't have structure to deliver any power on a strike). Of course, if I screw up my entry, I've just walked into power alley.
What do you mean "outside foot" and "inside foot"? Are you talking about "uniform stance" (same leg forward), or "mirror stance"(different leg forward)?
I see, So your "mirror stance outside foot" is the same as my "mirror stance line up my front foot with my opponent's both feet". When those 3 feet line up as one straight line, you don't have to worry about your opponent's back hand "cross".
If you use your momentum and step "deeply" between your opponent's legs (into his "front door") that will be a different strategy.
Sure thing. Make a list. I can only do 2 of the techniques with you during free sparring. The others are too risky, because if I put pressure when your leg is turned a certain way it could tear up some ligaments. Those you'll have to experience in demo mode.
It depends what his position is. On a skilled fighter, there's not going to be much. On someone not so skilled, there can be opportunities to take structure. If I can catch him reaching with his back hand, holding back the back leg (so an over-reach on a punch with the rear hand), I may be able to slip in and attach to him. If he has over-reached with the front hand, I might get into that position slipping the punch, just before I pivot (hopefully attaching to him during the pivot). I could also be stepping in to get my leg against his to take structure as I step in (though that doesn't mitigate the punch as much, so I need good cover on that one). I might be coming in to take an opening on his ribs (again, not likely to be that open on a skilled fighter). Or, just as an entry move to go through his head (which assumes he's doing something stupid like dropping his hands too low to cover his body or just over-committing to something). Most of it would be entering on a transition, so that position wouldn't be held at all - just a pivot point.
We'd need to play with all of them in demo mode first, anyway, to make sure my "natural" reaction doesn't do something bad (which wouldn't take much with my Crappy Knees™).
lol. demo mode it is.
That sacrifice move is called "shin bite".
If you can use your shin bone to press down the inside of your opponent's leg, you will have advantage.
I'm not familiar with the specific technique that he showed in the picture and I train variations of it. lol. All of mine are done from horse or bow stance. The picture of the shin bite that he shows looks as if it was done after a successful foot hook (where someone pulls your lead lead forwards using their foot.). If that's the case then what we are looking at is similar to what I do at the :24 mark but instead of hooking and pulling the leg to the side the guy in the picture pulls the leg forward. I pull the leg to the side because that was my only option based on the position that I was in. If I was in the position to pull the leg forward then I would have an opportunity to do the shine bite.
So, no one can counter when you are striking? Damn son!Depends how hard you hit them
If I'm standing in the range like on the first picture i'll be raining down blows on you non stop, don't think you will feel the need to scoop my foot.
IMO, you have to use your
I don't like this one. It looks awkward and not balanced which tells me that something isn't right. I'm not seeing the effectiveness of it. If the contact is high enough on the shin then it's going to be effective. If the contact is too low then it won't be. For example. The first attempt is working because I can see how the other guy responds to the technique. You will also notice that the contact much higher almost right into the knee. The second and 3rd looks like things are a little jammed up as if the other person is countering the attempt. If you hook the heel pull then do the technique then it'll take very little actually knock your partner down.
It wasn't a sweep. It was a failed /countered foot hook. Here's what happened and why it failed. I went in for a foot hook with the purpose of pulling his lead lead forward.
Usually, though not always. Legs can be used to break structure (which will reduce the arms' utility). Arms can be used to shift their center, making a leg inaccessible as a weapon.
