It's Throwback Thursday at Warrior Concepts Online
Published: Thu, 07/21/22
It's Throwback Thursday time again here at Warrior Concepts Online!
Remember, these are some of our older videos, so they're definitely not the HD quality you may be used to seeing, but if you've been following Dai-Shihan Miller for any length of time, you know that the information he gives away in his videos still makes it well worth the time to watch.
This week's Throwback Thursday video is: Ninpo-Taijutsu Self-Defense Tactics: The Difference Between Koshi & Koppo Counterstrikes (Part 1)
If you want, go to the 40 second mark if you want to get straight to the action and skip the intro title screen.
Now you may have heard these techniques simply called "blocks" by some instructors in other dojo, but these are far from the conventional "block" that most martial artists think of. Dai-Shihan Miller gives some explanation in the video of what you're doing with this counterstrike, but if you want to get into even more details about 3 different Uke Nagashi, check out this past Warrior's Whiteboard Wednesday that Dai-Shihan Miller did specifically on Uke Nagashi and find out just how much more this technique can go then just "blocking" an attack!
Watch it here: Warrior's Whiteboard Wednesday - 3-2-22 | Why 'Blocking' Isn't
Little pop quiz for you, In the Throwback Thursday video, Dai-Shihan Miller is demonstrating the Gyokko Ryu version of the counterstrike and around the 3:50 mark he demonstrates the counterstrike right and moves right into a second strike with the same hand...what kihon kata is this part of? Let us know in the comments of the video what it is!
