Variations On A Theme
In our style, the inside block is refered to as Ahm pom mahk gi. In this video I try to show different application of the same movement. I start with the basic block and move on from there. This video is not particularly exciting (no brawling or resisting) and will probably not show more advanced martial artists anything new. It will help some folks see that labeling a movement a "block" does tend to limit your understanding of a movements possibilities.

Mark, you seem to illustrate exactly what someone else is describing in the link below. You're post immediately made me think of this

Hey Jon,
Yep there are a lot of folks that are starting to deeping their understanding of the possiblity of basic movement. I just visited your site. It's a beauty. I see you are working with Steve Morris. What a great opprtunity. I have the utmost respect for him.
I'm definetly going to put you in my links. If any of you or your crew need a few chuckles to "Cleanse the pallette" send them over here.
I'm not sure I live through training with Steve :O
