At 7:00 he talks about a kick not being good when someone lunges in with a knife. I notice something with that drill, if you do a front kick, you can "Ride" off of your opponents forward momentum, you will be pushed back (controlled), creating enough space (1 leg away) not to get a knife in the chest. I'm a JKD type fighter, footwork and distance is MY game, this could work at keeping distance. The goal is not to push HIM forward, but using your enemies energy to push YOU back.

[babbis13]

We actually did the drill from too close of a distance. In IKMF-krav (International Krav Maga Federation) this tactic is to be used against attacks coming from 3-5meters away.. We never were further then 2m apart.

You can see that happening to me at the end, I react a bit late and push my self of him with the kick. I would not train for this since it is more "passive" in nature, something I personally believe is not good in a self defence situation. Also, kicks are not for everyone.

[babbis13]

Thanks for your advice. I for one could need some proper training in takedowns. I do not think we were REALLY going for hard, agressive takedowns there since it was our first time testing the drill. We were not used to this kind of trainig and I am confident we will improve.

[bamboogardenz]

With complete respect as your actually training, you should look into some local wrestling programs and learn a good single or double leg, then you can really test the shredder.

Best of luck gentlemen.

good job fellaz

[babbis13]

Thanks! Been hitting the weights hard lately but we will get some more videos up soon.

[golddrachen]

tai chi guys use a push kick. too bad not too many people teach real tai chi apps.

looks like u have some good stuff. saw the senshido stuff too. good. better than some of the ackward krav maga technique.

[babbis13]

Thanks man!

[atran35]

Thank you for these video posts...they are quite educational...

[pinch2724]

Another great post. In regards to using the push kick to defend a knife attack from a distance, I think educated fighters such as the both of you could get away with it some of the time. Would I teach that to the housewife or my mother? It's not a natural response for the average untrained person. At Senshido the belief is that a system has to be universal so that anyone can apply the concepts. Keep up the good work.

[babbis13]

Thanks! I agree, it is not the best tool for old people or very light people and it is not a natural response. Neither is closing the distance when faced with a knife, yet it can be trained and will work very well... Like I said, we just wanted to test it.
