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.

MORE HIDDEN JOINT JOLTS from Karate Kata 
Heian Yondan, Godan, and Kanku-dai
Although the kata are a vehicle for learing hidden joint jolts, the purpose of the training is to instantly recognize the opportunity for a jolt in self-defense. The positions and theoretical situations that kata provide help you understand the body-mechanics, muscle-use, proximities, and follow-ups important for practical joint jolt application. In this detailed sequel to Hidden Joint Jolts from Karate Kata,
Kyoshi Tony Annesi uses Heian Yondan, Godan, and Kanku-dai to illustrate possible interpretations of subtle joint jolts and how they can be converted from formal to more free-flowing practical applications.
