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.

Combination 64

Combination 64 resembles a dragon technique, complete with the requisite spin move. There is a double kick at the end, which is interesting, but I don’t like turning my back on my opponent unnecessarily. Overall, it’s fun and fairly easy to do.

Combination 101

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.
