LongFist application and usage course
Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:31 am
This is not XY, BG och TJQ but i throw this out here because i know you guys have a lot of experience. Maybe you can come with ideas, opinions or what ever is in your head about a couse like this.
Im going to hold a 4 session (each 1 1/2h) crash course with focus on:
"ChangQuan applications: Joint locks, throws, punches and kicks
We review applications (locks, throws, punches and kicks) taken from changquan 1-7, traditional training approach to learn the applications, how to bridge from form training to free fighting, and tactics and theory of how to use ChangQuan in free fighting."
It going to be a mixed crowd so the it will be fairly basic but i also want to touch and give ideas to the people that has more experience. Most of them have done ChangQuan for Taolu competitions for fairly long time so they have done the moves many times and now we are going to touch the applications and a more traditional way of training.
Im going to select a bunch of moves from Cha (zha) Quan that are also in the standardized ChangQuan 1-7 and build the course around them. Im thinking maybe 4 throws, 2 joint locks, 2 kicks and 2 punches.
Session 1, Throws:
Theory: Balance, stability, power generation, "Long power in distance short power over time"
Practice: Stances and how to move from mabu to gongbu.
Theory: up rooting, breaking balance, leverage,
Practice: 4 Different throws, wrestle try to do the throws.
Session 2, Joint locks:
Review from session 1
Theory: Joint manipulation, twisting/shearing, breaking, small circle/big circle
Practice: Wrist lock with big circle and another with small circle, some shoulder attack (figure 4?)
Theory: From joint lock to throw, from joint lock to hit/kick, defending against joint locks/grappling, The ideas behind changquan grappling
Practice: same moves as above but different variations. Defending/ resisting the attacks and counter. (more sparring like training) Wrestling try to do the throws or other learned in session one - use defensive strategies learned in this session.
Session 3, Punches:
Review of session 1 and 2
Theory: ChongQuan, power generation and the "idea of long boxing" / extended libs/ "explosivnes"
Practice: Punching pads
Theory: Angles and directions. Ideas of how to bridge the gap between moves to sparing to free fighting
Practice: Punching pads while "moving" (Angling), Wrestling try to do the throws or other learned in session one - use defensive strategies learned in session 2 and mix in some light punches to chest with open palm.
Session 4, Kicks (and footwork):
Review of session 1, 2 and 3
Theory: extending the kick and kicking with out "telegraphing"
Practice: Snap kick and side kick (?)
Theory: Extending the kicks and moving in to other ranges using footwork. Tactics and ideas of changquan fighting and more of ideas of how to bridge the gap between moves to sparing to free fighting
Practice: Kicking and punching pads. Really light free sparring topped of with wrestling.
So? what do you guys think is this a good idea? A waste of time? Did i miss something really important? Should i do it in some other way? fire away!!!!
