This is a fun partner/pad drill that is part of my 6th kyu curriculum. It starts with a gyaku zuki/jab followed by an overhand right. The uke slips the jab and blocks the second punch. Then, the tori uses a short sequence from Tekki/Naihanchi to clear the limb, find the head and hit with elbow strikes. It's important to learn the 2-person drill before trying this associated pad drill. The pads represent both limbs and the head which can make it confusing without context. In the video describe 2 options of the pad drill. Both have pros and cons. Outtakes at the end of the video. :)
Happy training,
Andy
Thanks for sharing Andy!
Hi Andy,
As always, great drill and great explanation. I like to outtakes at the end too … if I did that every video would be hours long ;-)
Thanks so much for sharing!
All the best,
Iain
"if I did that every video would be hours long". HAHA. It's not very often I shoot something in one take.
