Attacking the Circle ABC

The first technique in Yellow belt is Attacking the Circle ABC. This technique is about learning our clock system which is a tool that we use to help students with direction and angles. It is also designed to work footwork which is very important.

Attacking the Circle A is about learning your 45deg by going in and out of fighting stance to 12:00, 3:00, 6:00, and 9:00. When doing this technique make sure you are not bobbing up and down your head should stay level as you move in and out of cat stance and into a fighting stance to each time zone. The other thing is to make sure you are in a proper fighting stance.

Attcking the Circle B is about learning your 90 deg using a extending outward block with a reverse punch. As with A you need to make sure your head stays level, you are stepping into a proper fighting stance, hand is in chamber as you throw the extended outward block, followed by a reverse punch into hardbow.

Attacking the Circle C: We want the students to learn to take what they have learned and apply it to a real life situation, by placing 4 attackers somewhere in the circle. This variation also teaches the student how to move from one technique into another and to set themselves up for the next defense.

Almost everything done past the 12:00 hour up to 6:00 will be done with the right side of the body, and everything past that will be done with the left side. 12:00 and 6:00 can be done with either side depending on the technique. Remember there is always an exception.
