The Hook Punch - TFA Fundamental Punching

The Hook Punch
TFA Fundamental Punching


Video summary:
Sifu Marcus Lovemore demonstrates the Transformational Fighting Arts Fundamental Punching technique - the hook punch.


Training Suggestions:
When you do decide to practice this techniques keep two things in mind. 1) Keep your hooks tight, within the area of your own shoulders. As if you were in a barrel the width of your shoulders. Also practice your hook punches without dipping below the plane of your shoulders. 2) Use you footwork to draw you in to translate the distance, and do not use the full length of your arm. This is a close range punch. Do not reach with it. It makes your hook to easy to counter. The hook is by design slow, and the the only way to mitigate this is with footwork and understanding of your distance.

Good training,
Sifu Marcus

The Bob And Weave -TFA Intermediate Defense

The Bob And Weave
(TFA Intermediate Defense)


Video summary:
Sifu Marcus Lovemore demonstrates the Transformational Fighting Arts Intermediate defense - the bob and weave.


Training Suggestions:
Remember, that regardless whether or not your partner is throwing a right hook or a left hook the beginning part of this technique, the bob, is exact the same for you. All you have to to do is react to every hook the same way, with an identical bob, then let the direction of your partner's hook determine the direction of your weave. Lastly never back up or flinch during your bob and weave or you'll just increase your chances of getting hit, and that definitely goes against the first rule of martial arts - Duck!

Good training,
Sifu Marcus

The Quick Retreat - TFA Fundamentals - Footwork

The Quick Retreat
(TFA Fundamentals - Footwork)


Video summary:
Sifu Marcus Lovemore demonstrates the Transformational Fighting Arts Fundamentals in footwork - the quick retreat.


Training Suggestions:
In my opinion if you are going to practice a technique you should first practice footwork. The quick retreat is a good place to start. I usually use this as part of my warm up. Try starting with 100 quick retreats and advances and then increase to 500. Remember to stay close to the ground and limit your up and down motion. You want to translate most of your energy forward, not up or down. Finally, remember to keep your upper body relatively undisturbed and your movement dynamic and explosive.

Good training,
Sifu Marcus
