Hitting The Vital Targets By MJS - 04-04-2008 10:34 AM

=========

Usually, whenever the subject of eye shots or things of that nature come up, you will have one group that says that its nearly impossible to hit these 'deadly' targets, especially when someone is moving.

Now, if you look at the Kenpo techniques, pretty much every one has some sort of eye shot, groin hit, break, etc.

So, in your opinion, is it really that hard to hit these targets? Now, for myself, I've never really looked at any shot as a fight stopper. Instead, I view each shot as one that sets the next one up. If I'm lucky and it happens to drop the guy, then great. But, at the least, it'll get my opponent to react, and create an opening for my next hit. In other words...even if that eye shot doesnt land, the flinch response is natural, so 9 times out of 10, the person will blink, flinch back, bring their hands up, and that allows me enough time to set something else up.

Of course, training each technique in somewhat of an alive fashion, it'll train you to be able to apply various things against someone whos moving, not standing still.

Your thoughts?

Mike
