Technique of the Month - September 2004

Conquering Shield
(
left hand lapel grab)

From a natural stance:

  1. Step forward to 12:00 with the right foot into a wide kneel stance after delivering a right front snap kick to the opponent's right knee while the right hand delivers an inside vertical forearm strike to the opponent's left forearm, and then punches above the opponent's head (to set line of sight) and then drops, delivering an inward overhead elbow to the opponent's bicep while the left hand pins the opponent's hand to the chest.
  2. Rise up into a right neutral bow with a right upward elbow under the opponent's chin, while the left hand maintains check.
  3. Drop into a right wide kneel with a right overhead palm heel to the bridge of the opponent's nose, while the left hand maintains check.

Beginner Question

  1. This technique is similar - and different - from the technique Lone Kimono - explain.

Advanced Questions

  1. Why is the first move NOT described as a Blocking Punch?
  2. What exactly is the opponent doing in his/her attack?
  3. Can you name all the related techniques that have an upward elbow/overhead palm heel combination in them? How many are there?
