Trypper — "punching, shadow or not, no blocking, keep some distance, jab, return to distance, may follow up before returning distance, jumpy footwork" "hands held up to chest area as if to keep chest protected when distant" "back arched backwards at distance then forward as if to provide more force to first blow" "may use dominant forearm to block when advancing" "follow up with elbow jab in that case" "to neck" what is this 0rb — ok did I do it? Trypper — "may then also follow up with pushing after an offense" "body slam is perfect" "rotate to side then body slam" "while arching upper body away" 0rb — who created this? Trypper — "atlantis" 0rb — did I get the basics? Trypper — "intermediate" 0rb — what was right? and what was bad? Trypper — "shifting between advancement and distance should be quicker" "there are more intricacies not yet mentioned" 0rb — so it's in using the upper body to create distance by changing the alignment of the spine to avoid punches by an inch Trypper — "footwork also used to create distance or to close in" 0rb — I think I understand the style this is some kind of advanced version of the very basic stuff taught to infantry Trypper — "may also do corkscrew punch with turning upper body and arching the back for the signature heavy blow" "first arm is flexed and fist should ne around/next to the chest area" 0rb — yeah Trypper — "in that case upper body is rotated back and rotated such that arm is further back" 0rb — got it Trypper — "sometimes knees are flexed as to make aiming with arms less necessary" 0rb — what about now? Trypper — "jumping also sometimes done but risky if opponent can do lower body sweep or otherwise manipulate you midair" "excellent" 0rb — thanks it's about creating a "tunnel" aimed from your lower chest up to the opponent's lower jaw in angle Trypper — "knives sometimes used" "as follow up in arm jab at throat for example" "traditionally throwing knives"
