Gary Backous's Personal Form
(as performed on April 29, 2001)
Under Purple Belt Curriculum
|
This is the first form where students of our UKKD schools synthesize
what they know into a workable self-defense form. The criteria for the
form are five techniques and a minimum of fifteen basics (strikes, kicks,
or blocks.) It is often a linear form, meaning that it should generally
move towards 12 o'clock.
The Five Attackers
1. Straight Left Step-Through Punch
2. Straight Left Hand Lapel Grab
3. Left Step-Through Roundhouse Punch
4. Right Step-Through Overhead Club
5. Left Thrusting Front Kick
1. Straight Left Step-Through Punch
1. Step forward (12 o'clock) with right foot while doing a right inward
block to the inside of the attackers arm (L-6).
2. Simultaneously executing a left hammer fist to the inside of your
opponents left leg (SP-11) with a forward bow.
- Maintain contact with right hand while looping
the left hand up to grab the attackers left wrist.
3. Do a right forearm strike across you opponents elbow (TW-11) while
switching into a left forward bow (facing 6 o'clock).
4. Upon breaking the attackers arm, do an outward elbow strike to their
temple (TW-23).
5. Loop your hand around the back of your opponent's neck, pulling them into
a knee to the solar plexus (CO-3).
6. Push away toward 11:00 o'clock and end in left neutral bow.
2. Straight Left Hand Lapel Grab
1. Pin arm with left hand (LI-3 or LI-4), or slap-check.
2. Step toward 12 o'clock into a right neutral bow while doing a forearm
strike to the apex of the bicep (H-2).
3. Strike through the bicep then perform a right outward elbow strike
just above the check bone, even with the ear hole (S-7).
4. After elbowing them in the head, grab their right shoulder and step
back into a zen stance facing 9:00.
5. While stepping back and pulling with the right hand to turn your
opponent's back to you, grab their hair and do an anchored elbow behind
their left shoulder to pull them backwards (toward 6:00).
6. As they are falling backwards, do a right hammerfist to the middle
of their sternum while in a right neutral stance facing 9:00.
7. Step to 9:00 with the left and push them away, landing in a right
neutral bow.
3. Left Step-Through Roundhouse Punch
1. Step to 11:00 with the left foot and execute an inward parry with
your left hand immediately followed by an extended outward block (L-7)
(windmill block).
2. Execute a right front snap kick to the groin.
3. Before dropping the foot, grab the back of their head (GB-20) and
pull it down.
4. As you pull their head down, pivot toward 9:00 and do an upward
heal kick to the base of the attackers nose.
5. Immediately chamber the right leg and do a sidekick to the side
of the right side of their ribs, even with the xyphoid process (S-18),
landing in a right neutral bow.
4. Right Step-Through Overhead Club
1. Step to 11:00 with the left foot into a left neutral bow and do
a windmill block to parry the club to the right, not stopping its downward
motion.
2. As the club is being parried downward with the right hand, grab
the attackers right wrist and guide it into a trusting knee strike to attackers
right elbow (TW-11), this will allow me to grab the club with my right
hand.
3. Once grabbing the club with the right hand (using a bottom hand
grip) and established your base, strike the attacker in the right temple
(GB-8, or TW-23).
4. In a figure-eight motion back across the attackers body, do a front
crossover as you strike your opponent in the kidney (or SP-21, just above
the floating ribs).
5. In another figure-eight motion, step toward 12 o'clock into a left
neutral bow and strike the attacker in the temple (as you utilize marriage-of-gravity).
5. Left Thrusting Front Kick
1. From a left neutral bow, do a downward block with the left hand,
parrying the attackers leg to the left of your body.
- This will put your opponents back facing you as
you step to 12:00 with the right foot into a right neutral bow.
2. Step the right foot between the attackers legs and while circling
your left blocking arm up into a ridgehand.
3. With the left ridgehand, pull the attacker tight to your chest (choking
them).
4. Upon choking them, do a right sandwiching palm strike to the attackers
temple (GB-8).
5. Rack your (right hand) fingers across their face.
6. With your right hand, place two-finger into the notch between the
clavicles and slide your left foot back into a right neutral bow facing
9:00.
7. As soon as you've gotten to the right neutral bow while putting
pressure on the trachea, drive your right hip into them (lower than theirs),
into a reverse bow facing 3:00, forcing them to the ground.
Pull to a horse stance and salute.
