How does your style respond to an attack?

aurik · KF Sempai

One of our Dan Kumite drills has a response to a right roundhouse punch. The defender does a two-hand block/strike to the attacker's bicep and shoulder, then drops to a shiko-dachi (low stance), pressing one hand into the juncture where the inner thigh meets the groin, using the left hand to scoop the attacker's right leg. Attacker goes down, defender stands up holding the ankle, then does a sokuto-geri to the attacker's groin.

You can see it at about 1:16 here (in slow-motion) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdOuJhJDkTA Another video with my sensei is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju-houzj7vQ

Those are very interesting interactions, aurik. Thanks for sharing them. In the first video, the two practitioners appeared much "tighter" than in the second one; that is, the circling techniques appeared much tighter to me. But in the second one, they moved pretty quickly.

In regard to the topic question ;

In different ways , it depends on what is 'offered ' to you . But I have distilled the responses to common principles ;

1. Evade and 'sting' .

2. Take control, lock up / throw / take down, etc

3. Finish .

Eg a response to r. oi tsuki

1. Move off line to your l . check or divert with l. shuto while striking their r elbow with your r. back fist on their SJ14 ('sting' ) .

2. L . punch into their r kidney , step in so your right leg so your l knee is against their r. knee , applying pressure to destabilize. While strikinge up and around with a right reverse shuto ( the ridge of hand on the thumb side ) at jaw joint TV 16 .

3. Slide step / 'surge' through extending your right hand / arm and curving it down in a sort of 'stiff arm ' rolling the head over to a take down ... 'finish' depends on the dynamic , how you are positioned, how they fall, etc .

MMA - uh, I’d hope it was telegraphed enough for me to set my guard to deflect or absorb it. From there so much would depend on the opponent’s size and strength. If it seemed like a fair/ish fight of someone with similar training, I’d probably teep to get distance control, or try and jump right to Muay Thaii clinch. Whichever one seemed the safer bet.

BJJ - probably hope to raise my guard to deflect or block again, but this time if I successfully didn’t get KO’d I’d probably go for whichever throw or takedown seemed the highest percentage chance. Since lots of my takedown work basically sucks I’d probably go for a Double leg or maybe a hip toss depending on distance. On the ground I’d go for the back and pull guard if I missed.

Kendo - In the words of my senses: “Why don’t you go men (head target) first?” So I’d probably just try and beat his strike to the target by attacking his kote.

The biggest emphasis to respond to an attack IMO is using the mind and awareness first and foremost as taught by my Karate styles. The physical attack being used can be any part of your body or strike. My Style always emphasizes relaxation in technique, as to allow the for a speedy response
