ENTER THE MATRIX AND WATCH THE FULL VIDEO LESSON CAREFULLY:
Repeated viewings of GM Perkins’ movement while flowing with students yields tremendous insights into how to react properly; words cannot fully convey this but you will begin to feel in your own body what is effective GC movement.
► Not For Beginners: GM Perkins works Combat Flow with GC 5th degree Andre.
► Combat Flow, as its name implies, is much more pugilistic than Contact Flow. Contact flow, although it has free-striking, is more about sensing and directing energy, focusing on development of the 5 Principles: Balance, Body Unity, Looseness, Sensitivity and Adaptivity.
► Within the 1st minute, John is demonstrating muti-hitting, ricocheting, rocket-step drop-hitting, pulsing, balance disruption via body shots and suspend and release energy -- all while delivering punches, hammer fists, elbows, chops and palm strikes.
► Keep your head moving, don’t stay in the same place, move in laterally off of drops and work on breaking timing.
► The 2nd half of the video has several near-full speed Combat Flow segments with light-medium power. These are then replayed at super slo-mo so you can examine the action. Note that students are being careful not to injure each other, staying away from eye and throat strikes and hi-powered body shots, as Combat Flow done at this speed can be very dangerous.
