We had a good review of some of our basics with a concentration on utilizing the hip correctly ( the never ending quest ). I have been lax on this blog while KJN has been away but I have not yet missed a class (well I can only make it once / week). I have been posting on the SBD facebook wall pictures from each class. Last nights was a bit small with only 4 of us but this gave us the ability to really focus in on our individual needs.
SBN Weber also gave us a nice combo which is a potential for sparing.
- From a open fighting stance accept a front kick (or other direct attack) with an unbendable arm turning the body. You should be in a sacrojip stance with your front arm (unbendable) in front of you between your legs having accepted the attack.
- At this point you are close to your attacker and your hand is not far from the groin area. Utilizing a short twist of the hip and your body mass, a quick back fist to the groin. You should end up in a sacrojip stance again.
- from here a short reverse punch which will not be fully extended since you are so close.
i.e. after the groin attack it would be very easy to slide your front foot behind your attacker and put your front arm out in front of them across their chest or throat and sweep them down.
We also reviewed Du Moon and Jung Jul Hyungs.
This and last week SBN Weber went over 2 different meditation techniques.
- For each breath concentrate on counting. One count for each breath up to 4 and then start over. This point of this is to concentrate on nothing else and let your body and mind just rest with one focus and only one.
- Imagine yourself sitting at the bottom of a lake or the sea looking up from very deep down. It is silent and calm. Relax and if any disturbance enters into your mind put it into a bubble and let it float away. Again the focus is on letting everything go and letting the body and mind recover.
