RED BELT SYLLABUS NOTES

Jab defences
- Catch and jab:

dominate the line of his punch, step off line slightly.

Don't bring him down but bring him towards you.

- Slip and uppercut:
Lead with the left shoulder, lose your neck and make it one smooth movement not two separate ones.

Affect his structure

- Scoop and lead uppercut:
Be dynamic

Cross defences

- Cut punch:
As above: shift off line and dominate his line and structure of the punch.

- Bob and weave, body hook:
Avoid just going under the punch, it is more like a forward corkscrew motion.

- Lead high elbow to hammer fist:

- Split entry:
Dumog pull needs to be in to your centre to affect his balance and base.

- Slip and uppercut:
Lead with the right shoulder.

- Parry and overhand right:
Drive the overhand straight down his centre.

TRAPPING
From an unattached reference point (gloved):

Pak sau and hit when the feeder throws a jab.
• Before – high he has a strong guard, you can’t see a route to the head clearly, use the pak sau to create an opening followed by the hit.
• During – very similar to a catch but use the pak sau on the forearm to clear a path for a hit with the left.
• After – he jabs and rechambers the arm, on the way back this is when you ‘go’ with the pak and hit.

Lap sau and hit when the feeder throws a jab.
• Before – as above with the pak sau and hit.
• After – as above when the punch is returning to his chest.

Classical trapping (no gloves) from unattached reference point
• Pak sau and hit.
• Lap sau and hit.

The strips – using the arm, they referred to as are ‘snakes’, using the stick, they are referred to as ‘vines’. More detailed notes are elsewhere, these notes here are acting as visual and visualisation reminders only.
Off the roof – snake under and strip with the turning thumb.
Off the #1 – inside sweep and vine along the outside of the arm to scissoring strip.
Off the #2 – drop stick and pick up the thumb and use the punyo strip, if not, vine to the outside of the arm to strip the stick.
