Basic Applications for Katas 1-5
These beginner applications emphasize the concept of using the “blocker” and “striker” simultaneously, as well as moving offline and finishing the application.
Instead of loading the block in the air, the defender uses the load to block and strike at the same time.
The blocking motion then becomes a second block and strike. The block is modified into a strike, for example, the lower block motion can be a bottom hammer fist, or a middle block can be a backfist strike.
The defender’s hand coming towards them is the blocker; the hand extending towards the attacker is the striker.
