Combination 77

Here’s a combination with that ‘one-o’clock / nine o’clock’ entry footwork. There’s a hint of limb destruction and point of origin striking as well. Chris and I have noticed some repeating elements such as the footwork and the snap mare style throw in the 70’s.

Combination 100

We have two versions, reminiscent of combination 18 and of some of the 40s. There’s a simple version and a more elaborate one, and my feeling is that the best version would be somewhere in between. Conceptually, I like the takedown, but the spin move seems risky given that you’ve only hit the attacker once (in the simple version).

Combination 84

Sorry for the delay, but between scheduling delays and injuries Chris and I have struggled a bit to record more combinations. This is one that I really want to reshoot, but I’ll have to swallow my pride over the kata guruma quality and take care of that later. This is a spinning entry to an elbow to the body, but I feel like it exposes your back a bit. Let me know what you think. We did film a few more today, so I’ll get to editing those ASAP.
