Very good stuff. The point about the reach of the rear hand being increased by being more square, good. But I think the forgotten element is the pivoting of the rear foot on the ball, as well as, sliding it up during the execution. Bas’ foot was flat and square.

Thanks, Trav!

Awesome talent .

As an amateur, I love the science. This example of premeditated assault is a treasure of style and coherent structure. Some people have gifts and people have them in various skill sets. I have an engineering vision; I can look at a mechanical issue and a solution will appear, but this man’s gift is to see what appears to be obvious options to specific movements, or positions. After his example, I can see the common sense initiation, of an attack, or defense, but only after his very structured and coherent explanation. What I mean is everything was a blur, like tapioca, then he explained the details, so even I could see the science. He’s a gift.
