Angling From Attack - TFA Intermediate Footwork

Angling From Attack
(TFA Intermediate Footwork)

Video summary:

Sifu Marcus Lovemore demonstrates the Transformational Fighting Arts intermediate footwork - Angling from attack.

Training Suggestions:

Intuitively, when being attacked, a person naturally tries to retreat. The rub is, retreating is the weakest position in an altercation. The most advantageous position in an attack is at the beginning of acceleration or the end of deceleration. Which means ideally taking advantage as the attack speeds up and or slows down. And of the two, responding as the attack speeds up is the most advantageous. The most effective way to do this is: interception and moving off line. Vectoring or angulation is the best way to do this.

Remember to practice this so that you land as your partner's front foot hits the ground and also practice varying the angle of the vector so to notice the advantages and and disadvantages of your positioning. Practice until you have no hesitation. Hesitation here will definitely get you hit.

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,

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

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
