GM Perkins explains how you need to move your body to accommodate targets and direct your strikes.

Training this process makes you both Unavailable and Unavoidable.

Many styles that also supposedly have free-form hand-to-hand exercises simply flail with the arms without any accommodation or realignment of the body to access constantly changing targets.

Using a focus glove and a ridiculously simple, home-made training tool, you can develop your ability to hit constantly changing targets along constantly changing entry angles with power and Body Unity.

This also forces you to learn how to Drop and if necessary, step, to accommodate changing entries and hit with power.

John corrects common errors like making body realignments, “chambering” (which is never used in GC) and striking into separate movements. You will learn to move, Drop and hit simultaneously.

For the sake of simplicity, John demonstrates this exercise using traditional closed fist strikes: jabs, crosses, hooks, and uppercuts – but applies them at uncomfortable angles to increase versatility.

John then very clearly shows how this all improves and applies within Contact Flow -- and how it is superior to some other styles’ “flowing” exercises, that involve grabbing, parrying, 2-handed passing and multiple straight-line punching.
