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

Generating Punching Power with the Push-shuffle - TFA Intermediate Footwork

Generating Punching Power
with the
Push-shuffle
(TFA Intermediate Footwork)

Video summary:

Sifu Marcus Lovemore demonstrates the Transformational Fighting Arts intermediate footwork technique on how to generate power from your push-shuffle to your straight punch while maintaining power and economy of motion.

Training Suggestions:

If you ever want to generate power or intercept in any realistic way with any of your hand weapons, including your elbows and shrugs - without sacrificing economy of motion - you must master this footwork technique.

The significant difference between this punching footwork and most others is, most other footwork to the punch techniques are exactly that - footwork to a punch. Most of these other techniques are two distinct motions - basically step and hit systems (e.g. Boxing , Karate, and Tai Kwon Do). Why? The up side to this step and hit concept is that you are very grounded on contact. The down side is, you limit your full expression of power by expressing most of your power into the ground in that step. Step and hit is mostly muscular tork energy from the rotation of your hip and shoulder, and is almost the same amount of power as your stationary shot. Seems a shame to waist all that forward momentum by just stopping and then hitting. Why do two things when you can do one (3 to 2 to 1 rule).

I show you the solution to this possible problem in this video. I show you how to collapse the set and hit into one fluid motion without giving up any rotational tork. Remember this is probably not what you are used to, so please practice this at least 500 times with all your hand weapons before you think about employing it. Also, understand the timing is very important to either hit before your front foot hits the ground, or hit simultaneously. Everything else is just step and hit and a waist of your expression because is not truly you.

Good training,
Sifu Marcus

Interception Drill With The Foot Obstruction - TFA Intermediate Kicks

Interception Drill
With
The Foot Obstruction
(TFA Intermediate Kicks)

Video summery:

Sifu Marcus Lovemore demonstrates the Transformational Fighting Arts intermediate kicking interception drill using the the foot obstruction.

Training Suggestions:

As mentioned in the video, you want to use lacrosse or baseball shin-pads; everything else in my experience is to flimsy. Remember to start out light until you get your timing down with your partner, and for heaven sakes do not aim at the knee (only takes 70 lbs. to break one). Also, keep in mind you want to intercept your partner before their front foot hits the ground or their rear leg passes the plane of there hip, although not absolutely necessary. The great thing about his technique is that it works sloppy or clean.

When you start to get some proficiency, start moving around off line and have your partner stagger the kicks. Create an atmosphere of reality but withing this limited expression of the of this particular drill.

Good training,
Sifu Marcus
