I watch a lot of videos and read even more blogs on the subject of martial arts training. I am always picking up new and old training methods and adapting them to my classes at Epic Martial Arts. I have always found that most of the techniques can be broken down for the beginner student yet still be challenging for the more advanced student. This video demonstrates basic and realistic self defense techniques. These are techniques that I teach on a regular basis, but I never put them together in this sequence until I watched two black belts working this drill on thenewwaynetwork.com One of the black belts was a 6th degree and the other was in training for his 4th degree graduation test! These guys have some serious martial arts experience between the two of them.
In this video our beginner students are working a straight palm strike followed by a rear leg push kick and finishing it off with a round kick to the leg. I started them on the heavy bag, then moved them on to striking pads and eventually added some movement. I am looking forward to taking this same drill and working it with my younger students. Seems like I will be making another video soon of this same drill with our kids karate students at Epic Martial Arts in Sag Harbor NY.
