The tiger / dragon influence continues in the 60’s with a technique that resembles an intermediate kempo or ‘Four Winds’ from Professor Kimo Ferreira’s system. The simultaneous block and kick is a nice start, and I won’t complain about finishing with a couple of elbows. I might skip the spin move and transition the ridgehand to the solar plexus into a sweep takedown given the relative position between me and the attacker. Regardless, here it is as written.
Combination 67
Limb destruction, spin kick, and a looping circular strike. This one has a range challenge in that you block and interact with the arm, perform a spin kick that will likely move your opponent back, and then continue with hand strikes to finish. I think taking a bigger step after the kick helps manage the distance, but it’s an interesting choice. This one is relatively simple otherwise. Check it out:
Combination 66 – East Coast Edition
It seems like we have an ‘East/West’ split in the 60’s with several reliable contributors with wildly different descriptions. For now, each will get a separate video. This one is another ‘block without moving’ one, which I don’t like. The kicking sequence is like a variation of combination 12, and includes a snake kick (the one where you try to bunch up your toes to poke your opponent) which I find impractical. Let me know what you think.
