Right in front of our faces, Combination 97

The same seminar that gave us 96, also gives us 97. Chris and I had reverse engineered it, but why not see it from the man himself. I thought the writeup was not the most likely as it was so much shorter and simpler than usual. In the linked video, you can see GM Fred Villari perform it, and afterwards literally says ‘that’s 97’. The technique appears 21 seconds into the video, and the link should take you right to that point.

Combination 108

Description from  Rob Johnson of Bolton Martial Arts Club

My friend Chris and I have been training diligently to transform the combinations to an understandable format. We came out swinging with combination 108. We had some debates based on whether it was best to have the initial right strike be followed by a second right strike, but decided to run it as written. In some of the future videos we are going to adjust the technique. Some writeups may have had typos, I may have transcribed or paraphrased the technique incorrectly, or for some other reason the technique just didn’t work as written. Let me know I’m doing it wrong by sending me a video of you doing it right. (I know the beginning is a repeat of the teaser trailer, but it seemed to make sense in case someone didn’t bother to see it.)

Not to steal my own thunder, Combination 96

In this Tiger/Crane seminar, Fred Villari appears to be teaching combination 96. In fact, if you watch the whole video, he seems to be workshopping many of the high 90’s.
