G.<BR/><BR/>Regarding busting through the leg, I think it depends on how you mean to do it. <BR/><BR/>If power is your only technique then you must Always have superior power, And your body will pay for that in the long run.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, we have Masukan that address this when done well and that use structural means as much as power, and angle to complete the task. Masukan Lutut and then there's also Masukan Sepak.Sean Starkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01099547949193337609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8398329.post-15411605857441708262008-04-14T21:18:00.000-04:002008-04-14T21:18:00.000-04:00I've just recently come across your blog - interes...I've just recently come across your blog - interesting stuff.<BR/><BR/>The style I train in is Silat Bela Diri. It is an offshoot from Silat Perisai Diri - and is a result of my instructor seeking to refine SPD to make it more effective and current, essentially like your Masukan Tangan. <BR/><BR/>Right from the start students are trained that hard on soft and soft on hard is the approach. Consequently there are no hard blocks. Rather, the student is taught to change their angle away from the line of attack at the last minute using hip and core muscle action. Arms or legs are used to guard against being accidentally hit, but in essence there is no need to touch the attacker, other than a deflection if necessary or desired. <BR/><BR/>As the student progresses they learn to turn that defensive movement into a very rapid and devastating (if desired) counter attack.<BR/><BR/>It is absolutely about creating superior angles and opportunities.<BR/><BR/>Hormat.KiwiInOzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990626308558012109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8398329.post-85188021092738657692008-04-14T20:43:00.000-04:002008-04-14T20:43:00.000-04:00Selamat Guru.
