The small circles is used mostly for short range combat, the medium circle is used to close the gap while the large circle is used to to move into position.

Very nice tutorial, stonecrusher69!!

Our Soke, according to our many In-House resources, never studied WC! However, what your video here shows, and with many other videos you've submitted in the past, a lot of what we teach in Shindokan concerning close ranges, is pretty close to what WC does, if not, at time, the same thing.

Keep your videos coming!!

Very good topic and explanation stonecrusher 69 of your video; thanks for sharing.

Could also be explained as the three fulcrums.

The large circle from the shoulder could be used while defending against kicks. Large circles are used very often in many Shaolin Kung Fu techniques.

Personally I put alot of emphasis on the three locations for defence and attacking purposes.

Therefore practicing each location independently or collectively. Insects do this naturally.

Also in my training I use strengthening exercises that I practice slowly. Giving me a type of collective dynamic tension strength. Somewhat like arm wrestlers have.

Adding to this practice more fulcrums and muscles till eventually everything I have is utilized.

Practicing this method starting from one hand to two hands with resistance training methods, pulling downwards and forwards, in all directions. This method involves attaching bungee cords to a pull-up bar.

The three circles as is this topic are sensitivity based, that are not strength oriented but done with resistance can most certainly add a new dimension to a martial art workout.

I hope you can understand this point of view, it's a bit tricky to explain with words.

Another method is somewhat like what a cat does when leaning in to your ankles, movement with constant pressure or movement with constant pulling motion.

These two examples develope a very unique strength that enhace all martial art skills.

It is as if everything pulls together as a one single unit, a type of torque strength. Katas movements are different as in 1.move 2.chunck/tense. What I'm trying to get across is like doing a kata but with a constantant torque, as if trying to twist a wet towel to get the water out of it.

Torque strength staring from the wrist then adding the elbow, then adding the shoulder; utilizing the three circles independently or a focused joint(s) effort.
