The first half of class we spent time working rebounding motion on different plans of exception. Not only did we learn how to rebound strikes but also learned the importance opposing forces and the inserted strike has on power behind the rebound strike. We see this motion starting in Orange Belt material.
The second half we held discussion surrounding a question, “How do we create power on the downward elbow strike in Shield and Hammer?” Rather than giving the answer away we pulled the 4 techniques in Orange belt that have different types of elbow strikes and discussed how each one gains its power. This discussion generated a great review of Kenpo 5.0 Terminology.
