Jeff Speakman is doing some very advanced kata techniques in that iGot the Power opening scene.
In bunkai analysis and application, any double inside-outside blocking motions is right away a strike intercept into a joint lock.
Say I start with one hand in outside middle block:
And the other in outside lower block.
Through the scissor block motion:
If I do that to an arm that is grabbing me or intercepts a punch, then that becomes the beginnings of a hammer lock.
The movements where he does high to low block with the wrist flick are arm traps/small joint manipulations, with a simultaneous strikes with the other hand.
Some of the stuff in that opening are evident, some are not so obvious (and some well past my point of knowledge), but Speakman definitely knows what the fuck is up an does them very well.
And obviously, shit don't work in the ring and is hard to get to work in real life, but that isn't the purpose of kata.
@shadow_priest_x After I told you that I never taught kata/forms, you probably didn't think I'd be into this shit, did you?
