This one had me stumped for a bit, as I was having trouble with the takedown. It had two versions that matched pretty well and both referenced a crescent and an inner reap. Somehow, I missed the fact that it was for uke’s left leg. We went around and around with mixed results, until a rereading set us straight. It’s a fun one. There are some good concepts in there, but the spin move seems like it adds unnecessary complexity.
Combination 50
This one’s not in the highest echelon, but we didn’t have a left hand attack video for it. Steve Castelli did a version off a right hand punch, but it didn’t really match what we had. I still don’t know why 45-50 are usually taught off of a left handed attack, but that’s been my experience. I did have one high ranking person suggest that many of the higher combinations may have been ‘outsourced’, and that the person assigned these was left handed.
