Hi all,
On today’s session we looked at Mikazuki geri, except obvious application (kicking the guard or kicking to the head) we went through other possibilities,. For us this technique does not go above the hip line. It is used to unbalance the opponent, by disturbing the computer (brain) and taking the support (leg) in variety of ways. As always we look on the technique in three ways: strike, joint manipulation and off balancing.
Hope you will enjoy our little clip
Kind regards

Hi Les, I did enjoy the clip. Thanks for sharing.
I got the feeling that you also enjoyed fliming many repititions of each application because they are fun to do because they work so well. ;-)
All the best

Hi Marc
Thanks for feedback,
This is the way I teach to my students so they can see all the angles and details. Usually if I ask them if they want to see the technique again, the answer is yes please. You are right I do enjoy it :), do you think that I should do less repetitions on the clips in the future?
This was just the footage from our class recorded by one of my students who did not train, but maybe it would be better to edit more and just use one for each type of application? Any advice welcome as I'm not the expert on making videos, :)
Kind regards
Les
Hi Les, I don't think you need to change anything, but you might want the camera to get a little bit closer, and maybe give more info on what you're trying to get across by talking directly to the camera. My main problem is trying to get the info across while at the same time being mindful of not letting the clips drag on too much. I don't see any problem with showing an option several times, and I think transmitting enthusiam, energy and love for what you're doing can only be a positive thing. Look out for exercise 13 from my Aragaki Seisan seminar once I get around to sharing it: -) Regards Mark
Hi Mark
Thanks for the tips, this clip was recorded during a regular class. Hence I was talking to students :)
I will bring camera closer, see how close I can get it on the seminar in Greece :)
Looking forward to 13th part of your seminar :)
Kind regards

I usually have the person holding the camera in front of me with the group I'm teaching directly behind the camera holder for sessions where I'm wanting to speak to the group and the viewer. That's what happens at seminars. Obviously when it's a recording specifically for online viewing there's usually nobody else there, so that's no longer an issue
I think your videos are great. The applications you show are easy to follow and well executed. Showing them from different angles helps understanding the details. No need to change anything.
I was just smiling when I saw your video because sometimes when I teach an application I like to show it a few times more than perhaps necessary, just because it "feels good" and works as intended. ;-)
Please keep those videos coming. They're much appreciated. :)
Take care,
Marc
