As can be seen, as well as Boxing punching, Thai elbows and knees, we see WC with the Blast as well as a form of chi sao type energy wrist grab

Sparring KARATE approach



POINTS

- punches to body
- kicks to body
- kick to head


KNOCKDOWN

- kicks to legs
- knees to body


FULL CONTACT

- gloves on, punches to head


So Full Contact Karate becomes Kickboxing at this point


There is an isolation in both which does not allow leg kicks, so boxing targets with karate kicks

there is then a differentiation between "kickboxing" and "Low kicks kickboxing"


SEMI CONTACT - also called FREESTYLE KARATE is points karate with more protection and more contact


 Metsubishi dem and application concept - new Vid Clip


now the Concept of Metsubishi has been seen and explained when we refer to METSUBISHI and to SHURIKEN in a GATA everyone will understand the Concept

while we may not literally be carrying Shuriken and Metsubishi ready for use, the concept can be applied to modern and improvised options

check the Ninja Board thread

Metsubishi

 This is only a 16 second clip, or 32 seconds if you play it in slow motion, which is the best way to view it


www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eqd2hBf8hm0


without any breakdown, repetition or explanations it shows five GATA that use the Metsubishi


1. against the the sword draw iai cut - TOBI jump back - throw Metsubishi and escape

2. from HIZA after a roll against spear thrust - Shikko sabaki - throw Metsubishi and escape

3. against sword - MUTODORI - throw Metsubishi and escape

4. against running TAIJUTSU attack - throw Metsubishi

5. against two swordsman - throw Metsubishi - low "eye of storm" entry and double strike - escape
