Good morning, Sifu Davis! Thanks for answering the last post regarding the power side forward and bai jong versatility post. Was wondering if you could give me some basic backfist and hook kick drills for the focus glove. Greatly appreciate it Sifu. Thanks again.

Hello Javier!

I had posted earlier to someone else about posts that required me to spend too much time, and that if I was going to answer certain questions, I might as well write a magzine article! Well, this is one of those questions, but I will answer briefly it to give you some ideas.

HAND WORK ONLY - Backfist (Qua Chuie)
Lead Whipping Backfist
Lead Short Arc Backfist/Rear Cross
Lead Backfist/Rear Cross/Lead Hook/Lead Short Arc Backfist
Jab/Cross/Hook/Whipping Backfist
Jab/Cross/Hook/Short Arc Backfist/Cross
Lead Ping Chuie to Body/Lead Qua Chuie to Head

HAND/FOOT COMBOS
Lead Qua Chuie/Lead Hook Kick
Lead Qua Chuie/Lead Inverted Hook Kick
Lead Qua Chuie/Lead Side Kick
Lead Finger Jab/Lead Hook Kick

FOOT/HAND COMBOS
Lead Hook Kick/Lead Qua Chuie
Lead Hook Kick/Lead Finger Jab
Lead Inverted Hook Kick/Lead Qua Chuie
Lead Side Kick/Lead Qua Chuie

FOOT WORK ONLY - Oou Tek (Hook Kick)
Lead Oou Tek (Low/Middle/High)
Low Lead Oou Tek to Mid/High Lead Oou Tek
Low Lead Straight Kick to Mid/High Lead Oou Tek
Rear Leg Oblique Kick to Mid/High Lead Oou Tek
Lead Low Side Kick to Mid/High Lead Oou Tek
Mid/High Lead Oou Tek to Spin Back Kick
Low/Mid/High Lead Oou Tek to Rear Leg Oou Tek (to sciatic nerve)

There is enough to keep you busy for a while! These are the combinations that I work on the most involving the backfist and/or hook kick.

Am sorry Sifu. Dind't realize it. I'll pay more attention next time. Very grateful as its exactly what I wanted, to be busy. Thanks a lot!!

Javier.

Sifu can you explain to me the short arc backfist and whipping backfist. Have not heard these terms before. Thanks a lot.

Hello Javier!

The short arc backfist drives through the target and pulls back in on a tight arc as you drive through the target. It is used to deliver penetrating force and recover quickly to strike again.

The whipping backfist strikes the target and snaps back immediately, applying the principles of "water in the hose" and "the whip" to the strike.

OH! This are things I have been doing for a while, just didn't know the proper names. Thanks for clearing that up Sifu. Thanks a lot.

Javier

P.S. Have you ever thought about uploading some video clips of yourself on the hardcore jeet kune do website Sifu?

Hello Javier!

I had discussed this with my webmaster a while back and he said that with all of the information on the site already, video clips would cause the bandwidth to be exceeded well before the end of the month each month, therefore shutting the site down! So in other words, video clips are a big no no at this time! LOL

Thanks again Sifu. Not so many people give out information the way you do, I greatly appreciate it.

Javier.

Sifu Davis,
Have you ever considered uploading any video clips to Youtube? it's become a popular place for ppl to upload clips lately. i know you're very very busy, but the thing is despite the whole time I knew you I still haven't seen you in action! I know you're very very good and really want to see your skills. so possibly in the future?

These are all great ideas but Sifu aren't you in business as a professional? Sifu's CD's (volume 3 for backfist for example or volume 5 for drills) are available right now. All you need is a Paypal account. Techniques are described in great detail and I watch them over and over. If you are training on your own as I often do, they are the answer.

Buy both the book and the DVD's. book goes into great detail and DVD's show the action. I have them and they work for me as well as others that have suggested the same thing to me.
