KNIFE TAPPING

FEEDER - forearm hook stab - abdomen slash - backhand hook stab.
Key learning tips
- Footwork drilling: left 'cat' stance to right ;cat' stance
- Push the blade towards them

We worked:
- Footwork
- Basic drill
- Insert half beat strike to the centreline
- 3 taps per arms
- Feeder removes the initial tap
- Back to the basic drill

This video shows some of the tapping we worked on. Tonight we look using the back of the forearms and both people 'face' each other in that there was no back turning.



This video, at the start, shows the application we work.
Tap and pass the arm, crash in with the left shoulder and cover, thumb grip right and bicep wrap with the left (high on the bicep), weight through the arm and strip.
