Hello Dan 🙏 Love the way you explain every single movement ... especially when to make torque during deflection 🔝🔝🔝 Because that is the most important thing which is almost impossible to see when you doing this ! Thank you so much for sharing such important knowledge about momentum when to do torque ... and ofc it takes years for such precise time of movement 👏👏👏 Wish you all best ... your friend Nenad 🙏

Hvala ti Nenade! 😊

I often use single whip to open a boxer’s guard then I use the next movement in the 99 to throw an elbow to the face, after that I can use the next “coiling” movement to apply a chin lock finish, used it many times free fighting buddies that do MMA, Chen Pan Ling rocks!

@@DanDjurdjevicplus I really enjoy your research and insights,I think you and James Sumerack have done more than anybody else I know to return true martial spirit to the study of Chen Pan Ling Taiji. I hope selfishly that you keep it up, you have been an inspiration over the years. If I didn’t live on the other side of the world I would have been studying with you for a decade. You truly have been putting the tiger back in its skin. Thank you brother.

Ziggy, your support is greatly appreciated.

I used single whip a lot when I was training with some Muay Thai guys. Very effective.

Yes - many uses. Thanks for your input.

Thanks again and a lot. I am always delighted to see your videos and by your explanations. This time, I was surprised by the similarities between the way you are entering after having deflected and what we try to do in Akidio when entering for - what we call - irimi-nage. As our classical curriculum does not include hooks, we shall most certainly try to include your approach into our schedule ( as I tried to do with some other things, you showed. Cheers, Roger

Thanks Roger! I don’t call myself an aikidoka by any stretch, but I did train it in parallel with my other studies for 16 years, so I was able to explore the similarities and overlaps. It might be “unfashionable” to say so now, but I think aikido is a beautiful art form *and* effective in its technique when one understands how and why its standard forms were structured and how little needs to be adapted to move it from a profound art of self-mastery to an effective system of self defense in many typical civilian (rather than military or sports combat) situations.

Can this concept explain why you see multiple chest blocks in some kata? (And multiple different level blocks as well?)

@DanDjurdjevicplus

Well apart from the fact that punches often come in volleys (not as single attacks) and that uke have applications as counters (especially while dealing with further attacks), kata are often not literal sequences but opportunities to practice essential angles of interception and optimal planes of movement, which means practicing both sides and alternative options (at the expense of an unlikely and lengthy simulated sequence that is intended to be read literally).
