“NO AWARENESS - NO CHANCE”
Look at the angle of his knee in this picture…
The defender didn’t even get his foot off the ground before my kick made contact.
Decisive. Deep. Damaging.
How I caught him was a result of my setup - specifically my ability to launch an attack with as little telegraphing as possible.
Again: NO AWARENESS - NO CHANCE.
Everything we do in the SPEAR System® is based on natural movement and we always seek to integrate intuitive movement whenever possible, because efficiency can amplify effectiveness.
I’ve spent decades studying how to weaponize the startle-flinch response…the serendipity of that research was that it taught me so much about the explosive power of “coiled” energy.
I’m using the same energetic load used by the body’s natural self-defense system.
There’s an energy you can feel when you use principles of physiology to launch your movement - it results in “effortless power” instead of the more telegraphic “powerful effort”.
Subtle.
There’s more to this, there are specific steps and drills you can do as a tactical athlete to improve your suddenness, to improve explosiveness, and non-telegraphic motion.
We teach a counter-intuitive method to throw a KNEE, FRONT KICK, X-AXIS SHIN KICK where all three kicks use the same launch principles.
We explode and drive from the foot up through the leg instead of the more typical way martial artists load a kick - using the hip flexor and quadriceps. The difference is profound as evidenced in the picture above.
BONUS!
For those of you who have invested in the paid tier, below my signature is a private lesson for you on how we teach kicking for the street and much, much more!
*At 4:21 of the video, you’ll see an example of the kick used in the photo above. I teach you a really cool drill with a ball and a cup to work on this non-telegraphic explosive movement. Note my axis and head position through contact. Pop back to the picture at the top. Imagine this movement done in real life at real speeds!
Scroll down.
I want to teach you how to be more explosive, less telegraphic, and more accurate - let’s train.
