Nice modification on the toe smash. In learned it in ptk but this way more practical for evading the counter attack.
The low line attacks are clearly affected. In gathering, how is the recovery of fighters who eat them? I ask this because I believe in their effectiveness, but I also want my sparring partners to be able to walk away and live their lives after the fight.
Good question.
The short answer is that our exp erience has been “No worries”– with the one exception of a shot to the knee cap from the inside (most knee shots are to the outside) which split the knee cap. We show this in one of the DVD/downloads.
This sounds quite gruesome, but my understanding is that in point of fact this was readily fixed by the surgeon putting some temporary wiring in place to let the two pieces fuse back together.
There also seems to be a truism, that when you look at it, it is so simple is almost stupid-easy (hence truism) but it’s not simple: get to the dorsal side.
I noticed that applying this to boxing immensely frustrates opponents.
Indeed.
With knee shots, the opponent’s stick must be accounted for lest one trade one’s own head for a knee shot!
In this regard note the three knee attacks shown in “Combining Stick & Footwork”. One against a backhand chamber (Top Dog’s) one against a roof type chamber (Salty Dog) and one against a forehand chamber (mine). Top Dog’s and mine go after the peroneal nerve (outside of knee) and Salty’s goes after the VMO muscle (vastus medius originalis or something like that) tear drop muscle above the knee with a diagonal caveman strike drift shotting under the roof block. The split knee arose from a flat horizontal which hit the knee cap instead of the VMO. Watch the fight and you will see the-soon-to-be injured fighter does a truly hideous job of leaving his front leg out there.
But all this is the rather specific context knee attacks in single stick RCSFg.
As we get to two weapons of equal lengths (sticks, arms 😉 etc ) then things get really interesting.
