Four Directional Punch



FOUR DIRECTIONAL PUNCH (SAJU MAKI/SAJU JURUGI)

Part 1

Ready Position - Parallel Ready Stance
1 Move right foot forwards into a walking stance. Perform a middle punch with the right hand
2 Pivot on the left foot and turn 90 degrees to the left by taking the right foot back into walking stance and at the same time perform a low outer forearm block with the left arm.
3 Now do the above two movements a further two times (by keeping the left foot still and only pivoting on it you will actually turn around anticlockwise in 4 directions i.e. the four directional punch).
4 Then the last movement is to move forwards again in a walking stance with the right foot and at the same time do a middle punch with the right hand, this time you should shout on the punch - this tells the instructor that this is the last movement and also increases the power of technique.
5 End - move right foot to Parrallel Ready Stance.
6 Now do all this again but this time with the left side and moving round in a clockwise direction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part 2

Part 2 is exactly the same as above but instead of performing a low outer forearm block, you should perform a middle section inner-forearm block, keeping in a walking stance.
