Had a lot of fun at this. We started out by listening to Sifu talk about how an attacker chooses a victim, and what can be done to avoid being chosen. From there we worked a bunch of different techniques with partners and against targets. Finger-thrust, knifehand, elbow strike, palm strike, knee strike, headbutt, groin kick, and bite were the ones we were primarily concerned with, but Sifu also demonstrated using the forearm bone, the ulna, as a club. We did the wrist-grab break with that as well. He spent a lot of time demonstrating why and how you should keep your hands up and moving, how to feign submission while buying yourself time to formulate a defense, how to prepare yourself against an attacker, the mindset to maintain, things like that. It was an excellent seminar. I especially enjoyed the elbow strike. There’s a crapload of power there.
