Combination 88

This combination is a bit odd, as you have no initial footwork for the block and counterstrike. Once you start moving, it has a fun flow. I particularly like the knee to the face / heel kick to the far knee at the end. We’re making good headway towards completing the archive, but there are a few techniques left where we don’t even have a written description. If anyone has a line on 92 or 104-107, please reach out. This one has a high confidence level as I learned it from Jim Bryant in the early 2000s. For many of the others, Chris and I have been recreating these mostly from written descriptions, so if you learned it first hand, feel free to send in a video if you feel we are off track.

Combination 86

This technique was one that we were going to wait to film as it didn’t seem to have the right flow as we were interpreting it. We got a request in the comments for another combination, and gave it another shot. I think the results are better than expected. Given the complex nature of the technique, I don’t know how realistic this one is.

Combination 93

This combination seems to be derived from Sho Ton Kwok. It introduces a leg trap that hints at a foot sweep like ashi barai from Judo, where you try to catch their leg while it is ‘light’. I like the simplicity of this combination, although the timing isn’t easy.
