Tang Soo Do Put Under Pressure

June 20, 2008

Pressure and Vital Points were on the agenda last (Thursday) night as Master Ian Parker warmly invited Master Peter Holmes to use the training night at Walton to give an introductory seminar on how to hit harder and start locating vital points on the body.

Starting with the simple handshake and how to stop an over strong person from crushing your hand, the evening moved through various exercises that demonstrated the relaxed heavy hand technique, pushing techniques and on into magnifying the pain in to common strike points. This latter demonstration was much appreciated by Master Parker - being the recipient of the pain!

The class consisted of adults right down to small juniors and all took away something useful from the mini-seminar. Inter-style friendships were forged and it is hoped that this will be a continuing affiliation with Master Holmes visiting once a month to share his knowledge.

Master Ian Parker runs Tang Soo Do based clubs all around Peterborough and is known for his very successful tournament teams, ‘The Serial Kickers’. He can be contacted via the Club Secretary on our links page.
