OK, so the first time I watched the DVD, I just about gave up, a little confused with all the arm movements and turn arounds; second time I said let me watch that over again – still a little confused, third time I said, maybe I should go back to JKD, fourth time I said maybe I can get this in slow motion, today I went through most of the first…[Read more]

But as Christopher says, it is important to focus on the base movement in order to perfect that – before moving on to the intricacies. One of the things we hope to do in this new forum format is to be able to provide short…[Read more]
