maintaining your center line
coming up next
[Music]
so today i want to discuss maintaining
your cell line no matter what technique
you're doing
this video is a more for my beginners
and intermediate students
okay so let's start with the
blocking exercise here what i block
i do not cross my center line like this
here
my center line is through the center of
my body think of a line going down the
center of the body
and this arm is crossing the center line
this is not a good possession
because my shoulders are square to the
camera but my arms are crossing the
center line
and what happens is that i can get
trapped like this here and the counter
is going to be coming
so i want to maintain the set of the
sticks
right in front of my center line like
this here
strike maintain the center line
okay so when i start out i don't start
out like this here
i like to have this right in front of my
center line i'm protecting my center
line
okay the strength stems from the center
line
from here same thing on the other side
so when it blocking gets to this stick
is lined up with my center line
okay now the same goes for
when i strike when i stink at one
look where my hand they're standing up
in front of the center line
i'll have it out here i don't have it
here
right in front of my center line
got the idea so anytime you do any of my
solo tutorials
from the past two months be aware of
your center line and i'll give you some
examples
let's go to bonnie bodybuilder i'm gonna
move
this see right in front of the center
line
yes it's not doing anything here
maintaining your center line same thing
with figure eight
maintain your center line move your
center
as much as possible reverse
figure eight
i do i follow through maintaining my
center line
it's not that hard now work on
maintaining your center line no matter
which hand the stick is in and nothing
maintain your center line
locking locking
that center line is so important but
it's difficult for
some folks to monitor themselves
just as a rust rule see if the hand or
the weapon is front of your center line
nothing like this what's this okay the
same goes
for empty ham work all right so
let's say i do black check counter or
slap
off pull off empty hand huh see it's
right in front of my center line
there's it's in front of my center line
here
what i don't want to do is this this
the center line ensures good structure
you got that so if you can figure this
concept out
apply this to any of the tutorials that
i've done to date
okay maintain that center line
this way striking
any of the stinking styles snap off pull
off
any of those maintain the center line
