This is the first video newsletter for our advanced class! For the next few weeks, we'll be analyzing Kurae no ken's kurae fighting style video. There's a lot in this and I would love to hear your input. To make this worthwhile for all of us, I prefer that with each video I add, we should make a comment, a critique or a question, and a case-study practice exercise. To give you guys an example of what I'm talking about:
Comment:
This is one of the best martial art school promotional videos I've seen so far.
Critique:
The knife disarms are too impractical and downright dangerous to pull off in real life. Fun to watch, though, and it's still good to learn things like that. (Or if you have a question about it - Would knife disarms like that actually work in real life?)
Case-study:
We should practice the Indonesian/Filipino silat principle of driving into the opponent.
I can easily go on with each point and you can too if you want. This is the least we should do so we can get into the habit of doing something about what we see and not just let it entertain us. Everything we do should have a point so we can get more from our practice.

i think i hav actually watched this vid b4 on youtube, great vid, i really liked th techniques and would like to learn several of them, it looks a lil show offy, but looks like i can get th job done, and i dont think th knife defense techniques are very good cuz if ur up against someone who knows wat they are doin, its not gonna work in my opinion, but yea we should learn some of th kuraenoken techniques
ReplyDeleteIve seen this video sevral times and every time i wacth it im so amazed not a just the techniques(which are amazing) but also at the quality of every thing, the camera angles are good the song is great and it is very professinal, i would really like to make an intro video that shows all of what we do and not just the sparring, little segments of everything.
