Clips from our first hour of training waveform drills. We try the vertical, horizontal and 45 degree drills by striking with a locked body and hand then compare it to the waveform strike. 20-May-2007
Please remember this clip was from our first hour of trying these techniques. And honestly there is not a great deal of accurate technique in it. Namely: under/over extending movement and feet placement.
I don't have a 200lb (90Kg) bag, but also I don't think these open hand "Slaps" are meant to be applied to full contact sparring.
Well, In my opinion, taking someone out with one of these strikes would be more than achievable, But the criteria for doing so would be excellent technique from the feet to the hand, and optimum placement to someones head. And obviously the head is no where near 200lb (90Kg) and has a lot less resistance than the body.
It's hard to see the difference in the above clip between a straight hit and a wave hit, but I assure you, there is a massive difference.
These are the introduction exercises into waveform movement.
The posibility of using them on lighter parts of the body (Head/arms) still might exist in full contact scenarios but I'm only speculating.
I'm sure there are plenty more video posters that could give you more profound reasoning.

That's reasonable. But I didn't mean sparring, I meant taking someone out.
Thanks for the reply.
