ENGAGE THE OPPONENT WITH CONFIDENCE!
Sparring is not just point-fighting or brutality inside an octagon. The study of self-defense has to do with engagements from various distances and in various situations. Traditional martial arts are not about winning a prize but surviving a dangerous encounter and quickly and cleanly as possible.
HIDDEN JOINT JOLTS from Karate Kata 
Heian Shodan, Nidan, Sandan
The blocks and punches are obvious. Sometimes the overt armlocks stick out like a sore elbow; but what about the subtle, quick, debilitating jolts to knees and elbows that are so easy to ignore when analyzing kata? Here they are, clearly instructed and drawn from the kata you thought you knew—amazingly effective and easy to apply! The original plan for this seminar was to cover various jolts from up to 70 kata. It was quickly determined that even the most basic kata held so many applications that the seminarians could barely cover them all in the four hour seminar. Shihan Annesi took a vote among the students and settled on covering only the Heian Kata. Even then, there was barely enough time to give a representative example of jolt techniques from Heian one through three. The students also encouraged Shihan Annesi to do a follow up seminar with examples form additional kata.
"Shihan Annesi's knowledge of the roots of the kata from numerous styles provides a depth of instruction that is overwhelming in its detail yet clear enough for anyone to understand."

RAVE REVIEWS from the denizens of YouTube:
"These 'Joint Jolts' are possible but if this guy really mastered them he'd know they were never allowed to show up on Youtube. He has dishonored every teacher he ever had."--vastrwc
