YouTube - Modified Taijutsu Lessons 1
Hello all. This is a video of a personalized martial art style I've been refining over the past year, mixing Taijutsu, Taichi, Aikido, Hapkido and Longfist. If you have any thoughts positive or negative, please feel free to leave a comment, as I have never had any outside input on this style. Please excuse my sloppiness, I haven't trained in a month or so.
Modified Taijutsu's 5 forms involve five elements for purpose, objectives, movement style and reactions. The basics of the elements are fire forms are mainly forward offensive, earth forms are for standing ground and blocking, wind element involves dodging and moving with an opponent, water movement involves dodging or blocking a strike and counterattacking, and lightning involves stepping into an opponent's striek quickly to nullify the effect.
Using the elements is also strongly implimented for training and visualization purposes as well. Each element trains one specific tactic of combat at a time, and each element you train increases your proficiency in another.
The video explains more detail, thank you.
hope you enjoy the vid.
