The next group of blows, major blows are swings
now swings are effective in bare knuckle boxing
simply for the fact that you are not wearing gloves
swings are particualy effective in hand to hand combat
because these blows are very unconventional
the first swing, by the way these would be illegal in sport boxing
the first swing will commence with the hands to the side
as i drop step i simply lift my arm
i step and lift my arm
look at the arch, this is going up into the point of his chin
it's not travelling straight,
ok I'm not doing this
I'm drop stepping in and lifting
trying to catch him under the point of the chin
with the top of my knuckles
only difference here is that the fist is not straight
I bent my fist so that it looks like an arrow
and just step in and try to catch him
directly under the chin
this is effective from this position too
just step in and lift
jab, lift
if I hit him here he bends down
smash him up into the nose, into the face
just a very quick strike upwards
could be used with the rear hand
some of the rituals teach similar techniques
with alot of war motion
as a matter a fact even in Japanese style
Karate, theres a technique called Agay Skeet
a rising punch similar to this
it travels at an arch not directly into the target
but in a matter that rises
dont do alot of arm work for this
unless you got the guy so uterly devastated
that you can take the time to really
wind up and smash, but thats not really necessary
anytime you use the hip and that spring
thats as much as your ever gonna need
whatever position you're in you don't
have to make a big combo move to motion
just step in and spring
even if hes bent over I just step in and spring
just step in, spring
you cant afford to make alot of big motions
you have to be tight and effective
so the first swing is this vertical type of swing
swing this way, swing this way
swing generally going into the chin
if the heads bent you can go right into the nose
bridge of the nose thats fine
also effective after a combination
step in, swing right into the groin
I just drop and swing my fist
as I step, swing my fist right into his groin
im not punching it, im swinging into his testicles
drop in and hook
so this swing this verticle swing can be used
in several different methods
very similar to use, to using a leverage block
a blow from this hand, a blow from that hand
can be met simply by thrusting the hand out
this is called a leverage block
slow just so you can see if he throws a punch slow
a straight punch, im not trying to do this
because thats not gonna get it going to the inside
however, if he just throws the blow, and I raise my arm
all I'm doing is punching
punching, very simlilar to the lifting
you just punch and its called a leverage block
just punch across your face and your gonna catch the hook
and again its just gonna skim right on top of you
very similar tight motion, if i strike him with this
or if he throws a blow and i do this, very similar
very similar type of move
the leverage block is one of the few blocks
that is actually really effective in stopping a strong
rear, generally a right hand, straight right, right cross,
because im not trying to intercept it, im just deflecting it
again, very important for that stance
if I try to do that from this position I have a
very very difficult time, but since my hands are already out
when he throws his right hand, it's just simply this
I just came to him and twist, his arm literaly just,
I'm just parrying this, boom,
I'm right there for my other hand, very very effective
again this is why this block is effective in real fist fighting
so those are the vertical to vertical swings
now we have horizontal swings
horizontal swings take place between a straight blow
a medium hook, or a tight upper cut, or elbow shot
all I do is the same exact principal
from where I use this as an initial blow or a follow up
where ever the hand is I just turn it
in a tight arch, all I do is just swing
again, bending my hand at the wrist
and just swinging, just comes right and swings
right into the jaw, the ear, the temple
it just swings, I could strike, jab, and then swing
I could use that as a way for him to fall
I could hit to the soul place and swing up
all my hands do is swing, not that effective for the rear hand
not that effective for the rear hand, very effective
for the lead hand, just circle and swing
swing, and use body
remember work you combinations
you throw one blow, practice, one blow
that one seems a little off
but if you remember that your coming back with another blow
this is how your gonna catch your balance
so when you practice simple blows you might feel a little awkward
demonstrating might look awkward
as soon as your realize that every blow is counter balanced
by a secondary blow and a third and fourth
you'll see how you keep your body balanced by that shifting
so those are the two basic swinging blows
vertical and horizontal striking with these knuckles
it is also possible, and was a favorite technique of John Sultan
striking with the top of the hand, just striking with the top
smashing with the top of the fist
effective technique if you condition your hands
same type of swing, same exact type of swing
except we teach turning with the knuckle
easier on the hand, however if you want to work
the hand and tighten that fist
and keep that thumb down
hitting with the top of the fist can be a devastating blow,
a devastating blow, so those are basically the swings
the next minor group of techniques
are the chopping blows
now i say minor because these are a little more advanced
and take a little bit more time and effort
you cant really replicate sending like a shovel hook
you cant replicate them on a heavy bag or a dummy
you cant you have to use hand pads
or you have to have a training partner
whos willing to put some head gear on
and take the blows lightly
these blows they chop, when im in close,
my hand, on to this target,
instead of punching in directly,
or instead of hooking
i take my fist and chop
my fist comes from here and chops at his chin
step and chop
so these blows now become, chopping blows
very very effective, very hard to block
if i move in with a lead hand and chop
immediantly after, and chop, very tight
convulsive chop
very very difficult for him to block
these blows because the entire body is moving
so there hammering, hammering at his jaw
they hammer, they chop, move in and chop
so the fist is driving and chopping into the jaw
chopping into the jaw, very very very hard to block
because there's no real wind up the arm doesnt
come out it stays real close to the body
only effective for hitting the jaw
this is where the explosion is just chopping
just going right in chopping hammering
and it can be used even straight on
just moving in and chopping
you see that drop that disconvulsive drop
into the target alright
and just rip down into the target
those are chopping blows
