Hi welcome back again. Now I assume or I believe that most of you have seen the tape called
Karate Kid. When Meyoke says wax on, wax off. Look at that again, wax on, and wax off. Actually
in karate, in kung fu, wax on, wax off, on, off, on, off. That's all about it. Now when
it comes to front stance on, off, on off. Now when it comes to cast stance on, off and
later we will talk about when it comes to tong fa on, off, on, off. Now when it comes
to the fighting position it is very practical hands up, boom, that's all. At this moment
I will show it to you. Please come over. I am going to touch his shoulder. He is in fighting
position. Of course he is not going to use the classic stance because it will never happen
on the street. It's a hook or if it is a straight punch or an inverted touch. You see that.
Now how about switch to the other side. How about use the back hand. Why are we using
the back hand for outside block? Imagine that when you are going to take a roundhouse kick
are you going to use outside block? That's not going to happen. One outside block, forget
it, you've got to use two hands. You have got to use two hands, one hand; he's going
to block one hand. So two hands. That hurts my shin. Two hands. When you see someone who
is skillful aim for the head and don't use one hand, always use two hands. Go out and
in, out and in. When it comes to elbow, if you use one hand you are in trouble. Take
a look. If you use the elbow, it is sharp and it goes this way and it will bounce to
your own eyes. If you use two hands it is so solid and remember when I elbow him I might
go for the other side. Look at this out and in. You see this one. Again. Now if you are
lucky enough he'll use one hand to protect his face, he'll hit his own face; sock his
own thumb right in the mouth. Two hands.
Later we will incorporate with block and straight punch. Take a look that if I touch this one,
something is going to come out; if I touch this one something is going to come out. So
after this kind of training it will help you to develop the combination of block and straight
punch. How about inside punch? Look at it slowly, inside block, boom, inside block;
boom and now put them all together. Good. Now show it one more time, snap it. So block
is very important. If you think block is useless, that is okay we are coming into a free country
but if you don't like block why don't you take it with your face?
