New Technique Sequence

[Christian]

Hello,

I have published a new technique sequence: http://www.individual-combat-system.de/english/?cat=11

Neat! How do you get power into the second elbow (" to the chin or throat")--or is it not intended to do more than distract?

[Christian]

Hi Arnisador,

It drives the head back a little bit and disturbs the structure of the opponent. It is the combination of strikes that does the dammage. The power is generated from the body movement - if you just use your arm there is not enough power.

I am afraid my english is not good enough to really explain the movement - a little bit similar to an uppercut.

At what point do you block the weapon? Does that work if it is being swung fast?

(the pics dont show the part where you make contact with the stick or the weapon hand)

[Christian]

You try to block, or better deflect, at the weapon hand but even if some lower part of the stick gets you on the forearm - it is just a stick, not a sword.

It works if the stick is swung fast otherwise the technique would be of no use.

Of course the aggressor has two big advantages on his side:

He is the attacker
He has a weaponBut again, yes it can work. I have for example seen similar entries at a DB-Gathering. It was Stick against knife - but same way to get into this attack.

Nice work and I like the idea of a "Photo Series" for demonstration / discussion.

Some things I noticed about the pics were:

1) The attaker has chambered the stick pretty early. Providing there is nothing behind me I would run away if I was empty-handed!

2) Given that the attack happens behind a club it would be fairly certain that the Police would get involved. Providing I haven't already run away I don't think I would finish with that strike for legal reprecussions. Maybe some form of a control would be better?

Loved the use of the elbow though! Thanks for sharing.

Yes, of course. I would run away whenever possible as well.

Sometimes it is very hard to control an aggressor but we also practice control techniques - sure. It depends on the situation: How strong is the attacker? where are his friends? how heavy/hard is the stick are the witnesses your friends? :angel: etc. Obviously you don´t want to hurt anybody but maybe you have to.

Fair enough points Christian. I guess the old maxim always applies:

"It's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6"

But from your pictures / scenario (behind a club) there were no other assailants / witnesses. Pain is good but I just worry that if I used that last strike the problems would go beyond that fight. A 150g rattan stick can split a coconut and coconut is harder than the human skull...

Thanks again for taking the time to share and dicuss the techniques as it's always good to see new things.

Yes, you are right and most of the technique sequences I have on my website the defender runs away but maybe in this scenario it was not possible due to whatever reasons.

Nice vid!

I guess with the photographs it's hard to know all of the elements involved.

Still, it definitely gives a great insight to the art and gives plenty to think about. Thanks.
