Quick hands

How different it would be had the attacker thrown the same type and amount of strikes for the attack that the Di Rauso rather than 1 punch and just standing still.

 

[KPM]

Very fast! But I find it curious that he is up on his toes...and leaning the upper body back at the same time!

 

[Buka]

That was real nice. Don't worry about any replies, everyone's a critic. I am, too. The music sucks.

As for up on toes and leaning back - you tend to do that when trying to not actually hit when using speed striking (like in a demo), especially against a taller target.

Thanks for posting it, bro.

The thread title is "Striking and selfdefence [sic] with my Sifu"
Where are the attacks for one to defend against?
Where are the examples of self-defense?
A person presents a single or two punch movement with no intent and the other goes off on a speedy striking outburst against a person just standing with his arms down. Not wanting to be a kill joy but 'That is not self-defense.'

Danny T this is just a demo and my Sifu did the ecercises very fast and with fantastic control like you can see. But like i wrote you could find more videos of my sifu in his YouTube channel sure you like something.

That's how you are supposed to spell 'defence'

 

[Tony Dismukes]

Hey, ice84, I notice that since you joined MartialTalk over a year ago your only postings have been to promote your instructor and his videos. Why not stick around and actually join some of the discussions instead of just trying to advertise for Mr. Di Rauso?

 

[Danny T]

No disagreement on the defence spelling being correct as well as defense. It is the 'selfdefence' I was referencing.

Hi Tony i usually see all the posts of this forum and i think like you can see i have never spamming.. Just i don't like comment masters i don't see from real

What I think is a bit more of an issue is the other guy eats a demonstration flurry and his hands just flop down to his waist. Covering doesn't affect the demo. Gives the puncher a bit more to work with. And trains in an "I am eating punches hands up" response.

So… where was the self defence?

 

[ice84]

first part of video is all about some striking and Selfdefence
About my classmate Christian (rugby player too) he has my same problem.... Our sifu is very fast and you can understand i think only from real you could be shocked but this is just my opionion i suggest to prove directly

Unlike the "grappling art demo" that you take your opponent down ASAP and start from there, the "striking art demo" always has the same issue. Since you can't show your punching power by knocking your opponent down by one punch, you try to show your speed instead. The concern is, when you make 6 moves, your opponent is still "frozen" and not even moving back, the demo will look un-realistic.

IMO, the best demo should be

- You make 1 move, your opponent responds with 1 move. Your 1 move may be just a little bit faster than your opponent's 1 move. Your opponent's defense fails, your fist meets his face, and knock him down (at least your opponent can pretend that he is knocked down). That will be a clean and realistic "striking art demo".

he's a pretty spry young man.

maybe this is ok for you ?

That definitely is a much better clip - clean, sharp, and convincing.

But like i told you i suggest to see from real my sifu believe me...

 

[geezer]

But like i told you i suggest to see from real my sifu believe me...

Not very likely though, since we (on Martialtalk) are scattered all over the world. But regardless, I also liked the second demo clip better. However, I'm long past the point where fast and aggressive techniques alone wow me. At my age (almost 60), speed and strength are not increasing. I'm more interested in building on concepts like efficiency, economy and practicality... stuff that can help me improve without asking for the impossible.

Oh, I forgot to mention deviousness. Deviousness and treachery are really important as you get older!
