ABOUT THIS AUTHOR
Hmm, has it started yet? I don’t see or hear anything.
OK, got video and sound
Looked Great, Tonight!!
Thanks again, all, for a great work-out. Loved the insight into sanchin-ni from Master King!
So excited to be working out again!!
Thank you again so much for doing this. A lot of new ideas. I also want to thank Master Yonker for his insides on studying and staying connected from a distance, as this probably will be important to me within the next year.
Master Joe…it made my day when you said hello to me : )
And it was great to see Master Dudley who was kind enough to come to Chattanooga to work with me.Also nice to see District Master Yonker,whom I’d previously only worked with online.And,of course,always nice to see District Master Jake Biernacki.Really,it’s good seeing all of you live online…almost as good as being there.Thanks for putting together an awesome experience : )
And thanks to the Dragon Campers for sharing their workout : )
Another excellant workout. About half way through tonight’s session, I realized by changing PCs I could project on the big screen and wow, almost like I was there in person! See everyone tomorrow night for the closing skits.
whos the hottie from the dragon camp with the the Green Pirate bandana, o wait.
yea Ben, ur deff. the hottest thing since ICE CUBES. lol, looked good though.
Do the Instep and Ishi punch have a different angle in the wrist or is the angle the same?
Scott Jansen
Ben, I figured it was you as soon as I saw the green bandanna *rollseyes* except on the screen to me it looked like you dyed your hair green LOL. Oh and hottie? hmm…someone has an ego…
Master Joe, my video is running with alot of glitches. can’t figure it out. Can u help me out or see if its an internal thing plz?

Are you refering to the instep punch (hand motion) or kick (inside blade of the foot strike)? Im assuming you are talking about the hand strike, where in an Ishi punch goes towards the solar plexus (where your ribcage meets) from “home position”, where as with the instep strike (in sanchin-ni, which is what was worked on here), is striking the colar bone or shoulder bone. I hope that helps
(BTW i dont know if it was out of line for me to be answering that, as im only a shodan, didnt know if that was aimed to Masters only, but hey, input is input).
Ben
The live videos were awsome and I was honored to be apart of them. As for the hottie I think it was Sensei Tupica!
You all make me wish I could go to super camp – seems like so much fun!
As to the wrist angle…I dunno maybe that is for the Masters to answer but since someone else put in input I will too. I think that the wrist is just supposed to be in line with the forearm, not funky cocked angles. There was an article in a Tiger’s Eye a while back that explained the wrist positioning pretty well. I forget who wrote it, but an idea in there was to grab a pen (or pencil, whatever) and make the tightest fist around it that you can, and I notice that my wrist cocks down slightly (which makes sense when I look at my anatomy physiology books…yes I know NERD lol). At point of contact for my ichi punch, my wrist I then noticed naturally takes that angle. I guess it would kinda be the same for an instep? Hmm…I must go find a pen to test the hypothesis…now you have me curious.
Kc-
Just an idea on the video being glitchy – if your connection is slower than what your media player can play the video, it will glitch and bounce around because it can’t go any farther even though it wants to because it’s not downloading as fast as it can play. Try pausing it for while to let it download without running to give the download a head start
Thanks Ben,
I was wondering if the angle of the wrist was the same on the Ishi punch as it is in the instep. Me and some other Senseis had this question in previous workouts. We didn’t know if the angle was the same or differnt as the instep is basicaly at the same place when doing the strike.
Any insight you have would be greatly appreciated.
Scott Jansen
yea ive let it try to download all day yesterday and im running a new computer with cable internet. should be downloading fast enough….i tried it on my parents computer and it did the same thing. oh well, i supose i dont need to see it neways, i was there!!! w00t. thx, Master Joe for letting Dragoncamp be part of online dojo history!

Sorry, i had miss interpreted your original intention. I know for sure that the front to back wrist motion (from your palm of you hand to your back of your hand) should be in-lined with your for-arm, just as it is with an ichi, as that makes it the strongest and most effective, and places minimal tension on the wrist, preventing spraining or breaking. As for the top to bottom motion (shuto bone to thumb) im now only speculating. Im actually having trouble with this right now, as im striking my desk with an instep strike. I would assume that you would want your strike alligned with your wrist, as i would presume it would give you better strength from your arm, but thats a really good question, i would suggest bringing that up in the next dojo chat, and if you arnt able to ask it, ill try to and reply with the answer i recieve.
Ben
Kc,
did you just let the page download or did you click on the panel to start it playing then pause it so the panel thingie that it shows in is activated to download? I don’t think it downloads unless it is selected.
~Amy~
Ben and Scott,
The angle of the wrist should be the same with both strikes. Keep in mind that when you do an open handed strike all you do is open the fist. And when you strike with the instep you are hitting with the area between the pointer finger and the thumb. It is hard to explain so make a fist and then open your hand keeping your fingers together. You will find the area at the bottom of your pointer finger and your thumb. That is what you strike with in an upwards motion that way whe angle of your wrists stay at the same angle.
I hope that helps. John Tupica
yea i started it playing and then paused it…thx again for the help suggestions
Hmm…I don’t have any more ideas. I hope you can get it to play!

This quote doesnt completely answer it, at least for me. If you have a bend in your wrist, it better exposes the striking area (the portion you described), yet, what i am wondering is how much are strength are you sacrificing or pain are you recieving (if any) when you bend the wrist. I hope that makes sense, cause it only marginally does to me
Ben,
You probably don’t want to bend your wrist. It hurts very badly. What you may want to do is change the angle of your body. Just enough so that you can stike with the instep without bending your wrist. So try changing the angle of your body and see if that helps.
