Update to: Trolls & Haters are once again showing how little they know.

So by showing the how little the trolls understood of the concepts they are trying to attack with Trolls & Haters are once again at it... And showing how little they know., to justify their claims, because they know nothing and helped to prove it... They sent me new pictures, with new complaints, again showing they know nothing lol... So I'm bored and here is what the haters and trolls aren't explaining.

1. No Back in both cases is bent... The goals of each are different because we are talking about the same concept in two different systems. Above my lead arm is down because I am executing a block/deflection along with a slip and counter punch. The individual below is simple slipping and counter punching.
2. This can easily be seen in the still image below.

Notice the rope is pushed up and away as I slip the punch. This is because the block/deflection is used to establish trapping, something that doesn't exist in Boxing. It also sets up for the trap/grab and counter punch in the same action.

Following the block & slip comes the counter punch, notice the hip rotation that propels the reverse arm forward. While blocking and striking at the same time. So yes, you do train to block and slip, while counter-punching. And you can like the boxer who demonstrated slipping the punch and counter-punching can do so without a block. However the block/deflection will become a basis for many stand up grappling techniques, arm bars, wrist locks and so on. By contrast you see this done with the lead hand strike and the reverse hand used to deflect.

By Variation, you see the slip, block and strike drill done with the lead hand. This means the hips are snapping forward, while the lead knee bends behind the strike to deliver kinetic energy to the target. The counter rotation of the hips also gives the reverse hand power to deflect at the same time the lead hand is driven into the target. Your hips basically supports a column called the Spine, rotating the hips rotates the spine, which moves the chest and upper torso cavity. This why rotation of the body generates kinetic energy within a small space and creates a more powerful strike.

No just a different angle... But, I though the stance was too wide last time and left the groin to open? So its proper when Hatsumi takes a wide stance but not me... Course I'm not in a "stance" am I. I was punching, delivering kinetic energy to point, while Hatsumi is standing there passively in Ichimon No Kamae. I am generating explosive power through action and Hatsumi is posing for the camera. Two very different things...

As for the "Staggered Stance" well...

 Image from right after the punch, the yellow line follows the alignment of my "big toe." This image follows after the punch shown above, which also shows the forward movement of the hips and up body behind the strike. As compared the Hatsumi just standing their for picture.

From a different angle then...

Remember this is an action shot, so the hips are being snapped behind a punch to develop explosive power i.e. kinetic energy.

As for the head being "dropped" I guess all these guys are wrong to...

Danny O. Danny No!!! Some Internet trolls says your head is down. Ok Danny is moving backwards while I am moving forwards but lets see...

No Doug Werner author of a Beginner's Guide to Boxing, doing it all wrong as well... because the trolls say so... lol

Lets compare these images from a book on boxing to the troll's of my picture above...

Lets examine here shall we...
1. Chin Tucked in Shoulder of Punching arm... Both
2. Reverse hand up to defend... Both
3. Reverse Hand Position, Me placed to protect the throat and Mr. Werner places hand to outside the chin, not concern with protecting the throat.
4. Head forward... Both. This changes the angle of facehelps to prevent the nose from being a target.
5. Foot Work/Foot Position... Me, "L" shaped pattern more akin to Japanese arts with a wider stance used to move the body further into the strike, generate great kinetic energy. Mr. Werner feet face forward and closer together to allow for better mobility.

That is because I never completed the choke, I wasn't teaching chokes. I was addressing the possible expansion of a basic concept based in positioning. Chokes will be covered later, for now a student needs to focus on angles and positioning in a fight. The promotional video is below and it is intended to teach you yellow belt skills...

And because Big Words like Kinetic Energy and Kinetic Force confuse you, guys...
