THE SCISSORS BLOCK IS EXECUTED TO THE SIDE
OF THE BODY AS IF TO CHECK A ROUND HOUSE KICK
POINTS: THE REAR OR AWAY HAND MOVES DOWN AS THE LEAD HAND MOVES ACROSS THE BODY. THE BLOCK SHOULD BE THOUGHT OF AS AN INTERCEPTION RATHER THAN A FORCEFUL BLOCK THE IDEA BEING TO MEET THE KICK BEFORE IT HAS REACHED FULL POWER. NOTE HERE THAT CORY HAS STEPPED INTO THE KICK (RIGHT LEG FORWARD) SEE EXECUTION OF POWER STRIKES |
| Once the block has been done it is a simple matter of
continuing the natural roll of the arm to catch the strike, then follow
through. here Cory has used the standard application to finish the technique,
while the left hand catches the block the right hand continues into the
groin of the opponent. remember this is one move not several. from here
you might apply foot sweeps kicks to the groin or anything else that will
finish the fight.
Note: Once the leg is caught the defender applies lift stretching the opponent off balance as he applies the finishing techniques. |
