Hello there, tonight we’re going to cover Flow Drill #8,
which is abanico corto against angle 2.
So let’s start off with the first section, which is slap off followed by tapi tapi block.
I’m sure that you’re sick of it by now. But we gotta do this.
So let’s do this.
Okay, so that’s the first section.
Abanico corto is coming up next in the next section.
All right, in this section, we’re going to isolate the Abanico Corto movement against
angle 2.
I’m going to contrast that with the sub-optimal way of doing it.
So, he’s going to give me angle 2. We’re just going to isolate this movement.
The correct way that you want to do this is
arm against arm.
Okay?
So I’m going to lift this up.
I want this arm to contact this arm
And now we have the abanico.
For the purposes of this drill, we’re going to pin this against the body
as if we’re doing disarm #5, okay?
Let’s do this again.
Here.
Lift this up.
Boom. Move it toward the body here, okay?
So if you’re in Karate,
you want to think of this block here.
You’re going to contact this arm like this here, okay?
If I move my wrist like this, that’s the abanico corto movement here, like this here.
You put the stick here and watch this arm.
Boom.
You have this.
What you don’t want to get into the habit of doing is this.
Look at how far this is from Alex’s face.
Not this.
Okay?
If you’re not confident with your control, go slow.
Boom.
Take your time.
Here, okay?
So, work on that.
And we’ll focus on the next move in the next section.
All right, so we’re going to focus on the next two moves here.
And I hope that I can get this across to you, okay?
So let’s give this a try.
We’re going to uh…
Abanico corto.
As we go through this and we pin this here.
My left hand is going to do a same side bait to here.
He catches that.
Okay.
Now look at my arm here,
down at the bottom.
From here, I’m going to shoot this.
Up toward Alex’s arm.
The punyo pointing straight at his face.
We’re going to stop right here and repeat this a few times.
So, here.
Abanico.
Pin.
Bait over the two sticks.
Like that.
Shoot this up.
Boom.
Okay, let’s do this again.
Here.
Boom.
Here.
Bait.
Shoot.
Practice those two moves.
And then we’re going to address the next few moves in the next section.
Okay, next two moves.
We’re still within the abanico corto portion of this drill.
Let’s just do this.
From here, I have this here.
Here.
This is where we stopped last time.
Now Alex is going to curve his hand under and lift,
and punch at the same time.
He’s going to bring my stick over to this side here.
And this is aimed at my nose. Let’s do this.
From here.
Boom.
Bang.
Here, okay? One more time.
Here.
Boom.
Bait.
Boom.
Okay? Got it?
Try that.
If you’re confused, go back and watch this section again and practice.
Okay, the next part is…..
Of all 20 drills, this is my favourite part…..of any drill.
And so, boom, here.
Bang.
And now where we left off….Alex is going to punch here.
I’m going to use this check hand to parry this.
But for the purpose of this drill and to keep this going, Alex is going to release right here, okay?
When he releases, I’m going to parry
and poke a #7 underneath my arm.
This way.
Let’s do this several times.
Here. Boom.
And again.
Let’s do this from the beginning.
One more.
Let’s do this super slow.
Okay? Practice that.
We’re almost done! Can you believe it?
The next section is coming up!
So this last section, some of you may have figured out already.
This should take no more than 30 seconds.
Let’s do this.
And so, we have
This is where we left off.
Alex is going to clear and give me a #1. Let’s do it again.
From here.
Boom.
Clear and a #1.
We’ll stop right here.
One more time.
Okay?
Practice that and we’ll put it all together in the next section.
Last section, we’re going to put it all together.
This is Flow Drill #8: Abanico Corto against angle 2.
And upon the direction of the camera man himself, we’re going to go slow
so that he can follow us, okay? So let's do this.
That’s Flow Drill #8: Abanico Corto against Angle 2.
Hope that you enjoyed that.
