This video was filmed at a seminar in Norway at which we were analysing the applications of Passai / Bassai-Dai. This short clip looks at a basic application for the "u-punch" or "yama-zumi" (mountain punch). The technique is applied from a position of disadvantage where the enemy has secured a grip on your wrist and has opened up a pathway for a head strike. Whist not a good position to be in, by folding the lower arm over we can momentarily disrupt the enemy's posture and gain the opportunity to deliver an overhand strike to the side of the jaw. This also creates the opportunity to bar the enemy's arm to open them up for further strikes. From the end position of the kata sequence it is also possible to apply Gichin Funakoshi's "spinning top" throw. All of this is briefly explored in the clip. I hope you find the video of interest and I'll be back with more soon!
All the best,
Iain

I was explaining to a Kung Fu friend of mine that the Yama-zuki or Double punch works better as a throw than a double attack like you see in the movies. Thank you for confirming my philosophy for that.

Another great application by Sensei Abernethy. I like the fact that he acknowledges, as preface about the forearm trap/overhand attack that he's countering: "it's a good technique."

The U punch can be used as a double punch. I've used it in sparring to see how practical it can be and it works well. It forces the opponent to choose head or gut in an instant. Either way one punch always lands, high or low. It's a great way to confuse them for split second. Good for setting up the knee tap or ankle pick takedowns as well. I LOVE this application and will be teaching it this morning. Great info as always! Ooss!

Great explanation and application - as we've come to expect from the talented and generous Sensei Abernethy! Osu!

I've seen many times your vídeos and I enjoy how you explain every movement of the katas. The fact some years ago I bought a book of you of grappling in karate. Thanks. Regards from México.

first watched this guy a few years back on a karate grappling dvd, very pleased to find he has a youtube channel as his applications are fantastic, a real eye opener to me back then and still gets me thinking. Be great if there were more teachers like this.

Nice explain, sensei. In Mae Do Taijutsu uses a variant of yamatzuki. Well done.

"spinning top" is ikkyo followed through to the ground akido/jujitsu technique

I think the yama zuki is more of an inside leg takedown from the clinch

And here I thought bunkai to these Kata was lost to time. I've met people who don't even know what bunkai is.

One of the most abused "punches" in martial arts cinema debunked! Hint: it's not a "double punch".

@SteveRadabaugh 10 жыл бұрын

That's awesome. Basai Dai is one of my favorite Kata. Never thought of the U punch as more than 2 punches.

I wonder, why does he feel the need to show the same move several times with different finishes that don't change it? And repetitions, for a video? Sure, many people do that, and I'm always surprised, since I can rewind just fine... FWIW, we've been using a pretty similar move in different European systems. Some applications are different, but the move is 80% the same, unless I'm misunderstanding something. I could be, I'm still a student!

He records himself while teaching seminars, so he's repeating for their benefit, not ours.

Well, that explains it for Mr. Abernethy. Different camera angles also explain it, even if it wasn't a seminar. Guess I've been wondering more about other people.
