The Four Corners Defense Against The Straight - TFA Advance Defense

The Four Corners
Defense Against The Straight
(TFA Advance Defense)

Video summary:

Sifu Marcus Lovemore demonstrates the Transformational Fighting Arts advance defensive technique of the four corners defense against the straight.

Training Suggestions:

The challenge with this drill can be staying in the moment and trying to decide which of the two four corner you are going use before the punch happens, rather than just letting your hand and the attacking punch's position inform you technique. Anticipation is the death of the moment. Remember, although you are practicing a blocking technique, the TFA philosophy of your offense is your defense and you defense is your offense especially applies here. In fact, without the offensive component of this technique you will get hit by your partner's inevitable combinations. Try varring where your punch and don't get into a rut. Unconscious rhythm is the easiest telegraphic motion to pick up. Keep your partner guessing. You want to feel comfortable to punch anywhere the openings appear and not worry about focusing on picking up the attack because your hand does it on it's own. So remember, you only fight like you train.

Good training,
Sifu Marcus

Hard Angular Punching-Blocking - TFA Advance Defense

Hard Angular
Punching/Blocking
(TFA Advance Defense)

Video summary:

Sifu Marcus Lovemore demonstrates the Transformational Fighting Arts advance defensive technique of hard angular punching/blocking.

Training Suggestions:

One of my favorite philosophies to live by is 3 to 2, 2 to 1. If it is three moves, make is two, if it's two moves, make it one. Hard angular punching/ blocking is a prime example of this concept. It takes your blocking and punching techniques and makes them one. Punching and blocking at the same time with one fluid motion. Keep in mind though, to punch to block, and not to block to punch. Also remember this maneuver is extremely aggressive and assertive. In fact the timing , placement, and overall success rate a of this technique is mostly dependent on how assertiveness are with it. I can't stress how important it is to be aggressive and not to hesitate, otherwise instead of you cutting through your partner's attack, your partner's attack will cut through your defense. Remember to train this light because your partner is extremely vulnerable when this is executed well. So pull your punches.

Good training,
Sifu Marcus

Knife Defense to Angle 1 - TFA Intermediate Weapon

Knife Defense
to
Angle 1
(TFA Intermediate Weapon)

Video summary:

Sifu Marcus Lovemore demonstrates the Transformational Fighting Arts intermediate weapons technique - The Knife defense to Angle 1.

Training Suggestions:

As with most knife techniques, keep your motions compact and basically within the width of your shoulders. If you are practicing the motions without a partner, either do it in front of mirror or imagine your partner is in front of you. Regardless, make sure you are aiming at your partner's vital areas with every stroke. Remember to stay out of range of your partners left hand when you vector. Lastly, practice this from inside and outside range and multiple angles.

Good training,
Sifu Marcus
