This One Is Amazing

[Steve Williams]

I thought I would share this as it reminds me of RBFC here. I've watched it at least 10 times as it happens so fast. Lee tell me what the guy did because truly it happens so quickly that you cannot appreciate the blow

 

[RBFC]

Eye jab. No matter how tough an opponent is, certain structures (the eye heads the list) remain vulnerable. We use a lexan (bulletproof plastic) face shield to train it. Even after thousands of eye attacks hitting the shield in front of my eyes (and others as well,) one cannot help but flinch even though you know you will not be harmed. This protective instinct is a great bonus of this technique: even if your blow misses slightly, you still get a short moment where the opponent's defensive reflex leaves him vulnerable to the next hit.

I saw what seemed to be a finger to each eye and was there one to his throat or did I dream it.

Notice also the hard-wired posture and hand position when the guy's eye is struck: a standing fetal position and the same-side hand covers the affected eye. Once you understand certain "likely" responses to a strike you throw, it becomes a chess game where you are a move ahead.

We teach single eye attacks using a "beak-like" arrangement of your four fingers, where they are supported against each other for more rigidity in the striking tool. He may have been using a variant of a "claw" style (eagle claw/tiger claw) kung fu hand position. San soo is an offshoot of kung fu, so probably where he got it. I didn't see any effective strike to the throat there.
