This is the 2nd in a series of DVDs recording the practical karate and kata application seminars of Iain Abernethy 5th Dan. This DVD features Iain's seminar on the 28th of May 2005 in Coventry, UK.
At this very popular seminar, Iain gave detailed instruction on the following topics:
- The real life limitations of blocking
- What to do if you're getting hit
- How to use 'knife-hand block' to open an opponent up for strikes
- The application of the 'pulling hand'
- Using 'rising block' as a strike, counter and takedown
- Basic seizing and clinching skills
- How to apply 'x-block' from a clinch in order to choke out an opponent
- 'X-block' as a takedown and wristlock
- The opening move of Naihanchi/Tekki as a highly-effective neck crank
- And many more eye-opening applications!
This DVD also provides full instruction on a limb-control drill hidden within Pinan Nidan/Heian Shodan and concludes with one of Iain's infamous 'will-drills'. This DVD is a must for all martial artists interested in the functional close-range application of karate and related arts.
