Some folks are acting like I’m coming out of left field with some of my critiques, but this has been going on for a while – not just from YouTube! comments but from inside the community.
Jim Brassard has strong feelings about the box step in combination 2. I shared the link starting at 1:11 because the video has a particularly long intro.
He changed the entry to combination one to make it more functional. Take a look and give it some thought.
Marlon Wilson has a riff on combination one that uses movement rather than rearrangement of content to make combination one work. He developed it a while ago, but I think it matches nicely with his emphasis on the Kosho principles in his Kempo. Take a look and see another way to make things work.
