円心一本組手

Enshin-Ippon-Kumite
(round one step sparring?)

It is just a one step sparring practice, with a bit of twist.
All of us form a circle, a very small circle. One person stand in the middle. Starting from a person, in a clockwise/anti-clockwise direction, everyone move in with an oitsuki. The person in the middle is suppose to do like what we normally do in one-step sparring. But this time, immediately after one attack, there will be another one coming in. And one will need to coordinate well so that one can continue the attack without much problem.

Sensei did a bit of demonstration. All are just simple technique, but sensei made it flow so nice that it seems as if it was coreographed before.
RuiZe who have experience in chinese martial arts did it with his own variation, a mixture of his chinese martial arts and Karate, making it looks quite fanciful but nevertheless, effective. Leong Lok senpai still have his speed to do all the complicated technique that will really kill/break bones if he extends the attack fully. Another guy have all his attack made into double punch that comes out smoothly one after another in either sequence. Some have very fast movement, some have very long reach, some have very nice kick, some evade precisely.

It really amazes me, how versatile are us.
Perhaps it doesn't really reflect the real fighting situation, but it is a good point to start practicing.

Today's 一言:Mind block... (can't think of any fanciful attack~)
