This is the Class thread from ten years ago, end of June into the start of July 2014, which would be last week's class if we want to be tempal accurate
shirotoratiger.proboards.com/thread/1242/mon-june-30-clips-box
As you can see, we focussed on KB Impact on the focus pads, thai pads and shield then the applications
There is a lot of reference links and clips which are worth reviewing if you feel inclined
We will roll all this to NEXT week and revisit this lesson at the ten year mark ( not worrying about the two week difference )
ICEMAN was of course there for the first one
And maybe we will do this again in 2034

The Fred Astaire clip again
This includes notes and clips for Ali and Bruce Lee
We also added a new Gene Kelly clip
Some of this goes back to 2011 and is still as relevant today

Fred Astaire Dancing to Michael Jackson's Smooth criminal
www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeQ39Ad9vFA
If you watch in with the sound turned down or off you can see the movement and rhythm
As stated, with the sound on the original song has been replaced with Smooth Criminal, which actually fits the routine better
From our earlier posts
(some of the clips you would need to look up again as the links have expired)
When Dan Inosanto was asked if there was anyone, ever, who had better footwork than Bruce Lee his answer was "Fred Astaire".
Master John Lacoste is recognised as maybe having the greatest footwork of any escrimador ever. Again, if asked if there was anyone who could match Master Lacoste's footwork combined with the way he worked his stick the answer would be "Fred Astaire".
Watch these classic Fred Astaire clips and you will see:
bursting forward and backward,
traversing laterally,
dropping elevation,
twisting,
pivoting,
breaking rhythm
male triangles,
female triangles,
upper and lower canines
replacements

Bruce Lee fight scenes - Blog 2011
whitetigermartialarts.blogspot.com/2011/02/bruce-lee-fight-scenes.html
Although they are coreographed movie fights they are the best way to see Bruce's movement, technique and athleticism.
Many of the concepts of JKD can be seen here - footwork, angles, changing of levels, timing, interception, multiple opponents, weapons, defanging, etc.
Most important of all, use these clips to study his footwork and movement - then compare them to Ali - and Fred Astaire!

The Keith Richards guitar clip, as referenced last week - new thread
shirotoratiger.proboards.com/thread/1991/keith-richards-guitar-chops-1981
Keith Richards guitar chops fan, 1981
www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ_P1vfZYo4
In this short clip a fan gets on stage, past security and runs towards Mick
Keith takes his guitar off, blats him with it a couple of times, puts it back on, and carries on playing
The incident does not interrupt or stop the concert, or even the song
