22/1/2010 – Fence Series Part 2: Attack and Defence from the Fence

Apologies for the late and rushed nature of this log post, as I have been very busy this week with multiple time-sensitive projects.  Homework remains the same as last week - see you all this saturday.


Objectives

- building mental and emotional resilience against pressure on the Fence

- finding position and remaining oriented for decisive action from the Fence

- defending sudden attacks on the Fence

- Initiating attacks from the Fence


Warmup

- IntuFlow intermediate routine


Ranging, Interception and Control Prep Drills

- Tenderisers – dependant wave striking drill, reciprocal face-slap drill

- 1 and 2-step evasion versus knife and empty hand: evade to superior position, evade to control, evade to takedown with control – allow speed to creep according to comfort

- 1-step slow sparring with blade to reciprocal disarm flow

- 1 and 2-step slow sparring with empty hand

Revision of Fence Concepts

[See previous week]


Pressure-testing the Fence

- Counters to being grabbed and manhandled in the Fence

- Counters to strikes from the Fence

- Counters to blade attacks from the Fence – open and concealed blades; cues for spotting the hidden weapon, manoeuvring for position versus a knife-threatener


Proactive Fence

- Attacking from the Fence with strikes

- Attacking from the Fence to achieve takedown and control
