Today we were going over a few things witht he axe in our training session. Mainly how to get more out of the figure 8 pattern demonstrated by Harnas Dragoslav on his myspace video AXE TRICK.
It seemed to work great for defending an attack to the outside of the right leg….this can be seen here
I knew it would also work for the outside of the left leg as well but just could not see it. So after ripping the head off of one training axe and severly cracking the haft of another we finally caught on that the motion is essentially the same just the point of contact is different. This should open up a whole new area with just this simple figue 8 pattern. Then I will try to get some new video up.
Now I have to make a few new trainers so we can prove it.
