By the way, Mr FarisiDaniel, how could I get a little link to that video clip you are referring to???

By the way, on the video, I'd really like to comment on the way the elbows seem so separated from teh body when blocking and how the style seems to not use a long-range block to avoid close-range fighting, prevent the enemy from coming in too close with something besides footwork, keep him at bay, sort of the jamming system, straight arm blocks that push away as in chi sao long range ?

Thank you farisiDaniel...I realize that your "sticky/pushing/slaping hands flow" comes from kemetian martiala rts, the flow is also found in the Mani dance of Cuba, the Ag'ya Ladja from martinica and the Antilles and the Capoeira Jinga in the Angolan version and the batuque one, which when taken apart, distilled and isolated from the capoeira framework, is suspiciously similar toKorean Taekkyon's basic dance or "jinga" (?!) and shows how the cocnept of rhythm and flow exists in all martial arts

I hope I don't offend anyone, my opinion is that 52 Blocks seems as a more practical, realistic and not just applicable but also expandable and adaptative system that can really put itself int he same level of Krav Maga and such. I have trained in several military methods (LINE, SCARS, Jukaikido, MCMAP) and seen others ( Jian Quan Dao, Krav Maga, Sambo, Lotar Kappap and the incredibly dangerous S.U.C.A.M.) during my service and my private field employment and 52 has the potential to rock them..

It is fairly obvious how you can see the Chinese Wing Chun Kung-Fu's chisao, paksao or foksao and Filipino Kali/Eskrima's Hubud Lubud along with a concept-application of Goju-ryu KarateDo's Kakie. I'd just recommend that you use more shoulder rotations, or shrugs and not close elbows so much or depend on elbow rotation, put some thick elastic bandages on the elbows to prevent them from bending to max and separate the elbows using a rubber band connecting them in tension going behind your back

Thanks, There is so simular concepts from Kali, and Goju, but that not where 52 comes from, our movement is rooted our our boxing (not western boxing). but I can see how you would see those things you have quite a bit of Martial Knowledge that's peace
and if you look at our best hand clip we use tension bands (for we fight out of the Peek a boo)
peace

I am interested in this fighting style. There are no schools I know in maryland that teaches this though. Are there any books or videos for this fighting style?
