It explains the lineage and how San Soo came to America, but while it has all the facts, it does not contain the essence of who Lo Sifu (Grandmaster Jimmy H. Woo) was, and is, to many people. In many ways, the man we knew is very different from the young man who grew up in China. As a youth, he was known to start and end the trouble, but with age came wisdom. That wisdom is evident in the man we came to know and admire. In order to explain who he was, we must look at what he said and what he held dear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBest Defense is run, if I can.

It is the Philosophy of the 5 bows. Martial Arts is all about mastering our body and the movement of that body.

A bow has three points in space when you move the center point the end points move. This ability allows one to generate an IMMENSE amount of force from basic MECHANICS. Why is this revolutionary? Well because traditional round house kicks that come  from muey thai and taekwando generate a lot of rotational power but they leave the user vulnerable to counter attack. The bow round house generates the same amount if not more power while leaving the user in perfectly zen balance. This generation of power does not just fall to kicks though it can be used in punches and when moving ones back.

could be anything from the sword your attacker his holding to the fists and legs he uses to throw punches and kicks. It can even be the mind of your opponent. Even if your opponent out skills you in every aspect if you can attack their mindset you can destabilize the whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If for example he has a sword. I would target this sword before i did anything else. Jet li did this in a great example in the movie &#8220;Fearless&#8221; in his fight with the opponent one of them had a sword and the other had a 3 piece metal bar. The swordsmen new he was at a disadvantage for range because the three metal bars were connected. so what he did was attack the joint of the metal bars. By attacking the weapon and breaking the connected metal rings he took away the range advantage the weapon gave him. Without the range advantage the opponent was much easier to deal with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading fade-in-left has-neve-link-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-45340cedc2fe65c04cbb8606a4a07515\">Immobilize Your Opponent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do i mean by Immobilize?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kill Bill has a great example of this in the fight with Japanese sword. Bill realized she could not win in the sword fight because her opponents footwork was the key to her success. Both were using swords and because Bill could not get past the sword she targeted her opponents leg. eventually Bill cut her leg and she could no longer maintain her advantage. This eventually lead to her death. In this example if your weapons are equal then you move on to immobilizing your opponent. If your opponent cannot move they will be less likely to succeed in their attacks. If your opponent can not hold their weapon they will be less likely to be able to defend themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading fade-in-left has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-068b3665066ed2271d7a1a737331635d\" style=\"color:#6f6f6f\">Follow Through<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do i mean by follow through?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow through is the act of committing fully to your action. It means you have accepted death as an outcome but that it does not deture your engagement. For example in Japanese sword fight if you cannot attack your opponents weapon and you can not immobilize him either physically or by altering the circumstances, then you are left with follow through. You create an opening and accept that you will die and by doing this your opponent creates an opening. On the flip side far to often has it been shown where one person has won the fight and they are standing over the loser and they feel the need to gloat or explain themself thus leaving themselves open to attack. Follow through do not let emotion or hubris take over. There is no place for emotion in a fight unless you understand its purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:98px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-1986 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2024\/08\/Shaolin-Waterfall-Meditation-1024x575.png\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px;

One can see though that when a drop of water hits the surface the droplet comes back up. why is this so? because there is reverb in the energy. when you hit with a straight solid punch where the arm is tense the reverb of your energy will have a direct line of force and channel back to you. Thus you are wasting energy. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A weapon that perfectly demonstrates this concept is the Blackjack. This is a leather blugerring weapon that has weight at the end. This weapon was used to great effect by police in the 1970&#8217;s. IF the blackjack was just a solid stick with a weight at the end it would not be nearly as effective at close quarters. The reason the blackjack is effect is because of the leather. the leather allows it to relax when it strikes. Therefor any reverb gets absorbed by the blackjack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"780\" data-src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/06\/c614fe28617c9df86a364b854c2f6c4f.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2126 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/06\/c614fe28617c9df86a364b854c2f6c4f.jpg 780w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/06\/c614fe28617c9df86a364b854c2f6c4f-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/06\/c614fe28617c9df86a364b854c2f6c4f-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/06\/c614fe28617c9df86a364b854c2f6c4f-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/06\/c614fe28617c9df86a364b854c2f6c4f-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/06\/c614fe28617c9df86a364b854c2f6c4f-100x100.jpg 100w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 780px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 780\/780;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"780\" src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/06\/c614fe28617c9df86a364b854c2f6c4f.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/06\/c614fe28617c9df86a364b854c2f6c4f.jpg 780w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/06\/c614fe28617c9df86a364b854c2f6c4f-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/06\/c614fe28617c9df86a364b854c2f6c4f-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/06\/c614fe28617c9df86a364b854c2f6c4f-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/06\/c614fe28617c9df86a364b854c2f6c4f-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/06\/c614fe28617c9df86a364b854c2f6c4f-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Give your opponent no substance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When attacking an opponent you give them no substance. This allows you to channel your relaxed energy through the target. When you throw a punch and inceptionionalize the target not being this will allow you to hit with the full power of your relaxed intention. The moment you make contact the nonexistent target comes into existence and the energy transfers. IF you see and allow yourself to believe the target is real before you throw your punch you will end up changing your focal point of the attack. The metaphor of this idea would be to break a board with your punch. If you see the board as real when you punch you will hit short and break your hand on the brick wall. If you see no board when you throw your punch the focal point will be beyond the target and the  hand will cut right through destroying the board. This technique though only works for offense if you try to use it for defense you will fail and their attacks will connect with their target.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"470\" data-src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/blogger-image-1271077670.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2152 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/blogger-image-1271077670.jpg 640w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/blogger-image-1271077670-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/blogger-image-1271077670-600x441.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/470;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/blogger-image-1271077670.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/blogger-image-1271077670.jpg 640w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/blogger-image-1271077670-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/blogger-image-1271077670-600x441.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:67px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Focal Point<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The focal point is where your thought meets your intent. When we first start training we make everything REALLY big. This gross motar movement helps us create the neuron connections in our brain which teaches us how to move our muscles. Later one when you start to master the techniques the movements become smaller and the focal point changes. The best metaphor of this that we use is the flashlight analogy. When we start our flashlight beam is BIG and wide. Later our flashlight beam becomes narrow and focused. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-12 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"746\" height=\"560\" data-id=\"2144\" data-src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/Beamshot-Flood.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2144 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/Beamshot-Flood.webp 746w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/Beamshot-Flood-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/Beamshot-Flood-600x450.webp 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 746px) 100vw, 746px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 746px;

Every time you attack you leave yourself open to counter attack. Even the very aspect of thinking about attacking leaves your mind open and therefor your body open to attack. If you wish to be successful in defense you must learned to never engage, not even with your mind. Practice this defense idea often enough and your body will learn to move and defend on its own independently of the mind. To many mind slows the reaction time. This best example of this is Goku from dragon ball Z when he learns Ultra Instinct. This is a technique where by mastering it you can avoid all danger. This is because you put yourself into a complete state of mind of nothingness and all your body to move independently and only blocking attacks. This technique only works though if you keep your mind clear and no thoughts occur.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"887\" data-src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/Migatte_no_Gokui_Kizashi-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2139 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/Migatte_no_Gokui_Kizashi-1.webp 1000w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/Migatte_no_Gokui_Kizashi-1-300x266.webp 300w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/Migatte_no_Gokui_Kizashi-1-768x681.webp 768w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/Migatte_no_Gokui_Kizashi-1-600x532.webp 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/887;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"887\" src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/Migatte_no_Gokui_Kizashi-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/Migatte_no_Gokui_Kizashi-1.webp 1000w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/Migatte_no_Gokui_Kizashi-1-300x266.webp 300w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/Migatte_no_Gokui_Kizashi-1-768x681.webp 768w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/10\/Migatte_no_Gokui_Kizashi-1-600x532.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The X<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the x is THEE most critical thing when it comes to taking your opponent down. your opponents body sits in the middle of the X. if you were to drop a string down from the pelvis that would be the center point of the X. on top of the X there is also a cross &#8216;t&#8217;. the opponent will always be strong on this cross and weak on the X. Humans are very good at recognizing straight lines. From using our eyes to recognizing straight lines of force. Anything moving in one direction is easy for the brain to understand. When you pull someone on the x line though you are pulling on different lines of force. The brain has trouble identifying this and countering it unlike a straight line force. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-14 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full fade-in-left\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"606\" height=\"360\" data-id=\"1990\" data-src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2024\/08\/360_F_208758619_i42Fj7HVUibHegABGZDI2yokxGy54KBd.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1990 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2024\/08\/360_F_208758619_i42Fj7HVUibHegABGZDI2yokxGy54KBd.jpg 606w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2024\/08\/360_F_208758619_i42Fj7HVUibHegABGZDI2yokxGy54KBd-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2024\/08\/360_F_208758619_i42Fj7HVUibHegABGZDI2yokxGy54KBd-600x356.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 606px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 606\/360;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"606\" height=\"360\" data-id=\"1990\" src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2024\/08\/360_F_208758619_i42Fj7HVUibHegABGZDI2yokxGy54KBd.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2024\/08\/360_F_208758619_i42Fj7HVUibHegABGZDI2yokxGy54KBd.jpg 606w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2024\/08\/360_F_208758619_i42Fj7HVUibHegABGZDI2yokxGy54KBd-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2024\/08\/360_F_208758619_i42Fj7HVUibHegABGZDI2yokxGy54KBd-600x356.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:177px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"475\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-2091 size-full lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/04\/089.png\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 475px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 475\/475;object-position:47% 34%\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"47% 34%\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/04\/089.png 475w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/04\/089-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/04\/089-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/04\/089-100x100.png 100w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"475\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-2091 size-full\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/04\/089.png\" style=\"object-position:47% 34%\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"47% 34%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/04\/089.png 475w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/04\/089-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/04\/089-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/04\/089-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/noscript><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Melted Aggression<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sifu and I have coined a term called &#8220;Melted Aggression&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Melted aggression means to maliciously attack some one with an overwhelming sense of impedeing doom. Think of it this way have you ever tried to move a dead body or a person who is just laying there? It is very difficult. Another image might be imagine a bed vs a water bed which one is easier to move? When there is something solid or a single line of force and the object has structure it is easy to identify the line of force and move it. Another example would be like moving a monster truck tire. Because the tire has structure and doesnt give you can lift it and flip it over. Now try the same with with a water bed. Because the bed gives and there is no easy way to identify lines of force it is incredibly more difficult to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This idea in martial arts where you attack somebody with melted aggression is that you are thinking of yourself as a big pile of sticky liquid submerging your opponent and there is nothing they can do about it. Their impending doom and fate has been decided. Samurais have used this technique to great effect. There are many storys of two great samurais facing off but they never actually strike.

How you think is how you move. How you think is how you fight. If we change the words in our heads we change the way our bodies move. This is essential when coaching individuals on how to properly utilize technique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slow movement with power is an interesting concept. Imagine a train going 180mph it is very difficult for it to alter course. Now imagine a whale it moves slow but with intent. A whale can alter course and still deliver great power. Why do we punch fast? if you can punch slowly and track your target and still hit with great power and force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" data-src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/images-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2175 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/images-3.png 225w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/images-3-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/images-3-100x100.png 100w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 225px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 225\/225;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/images-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/images-3.png 225w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/images-3-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/images-3-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image fade-in-right\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"508\" data-src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/imgbin-raised-fist-computer-icons-punch-hand-punch-xSu4xGL9MAkvSbvtNYCvWwuAK.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2176 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/imgbin-raised-fist-computer-icons-punch-hand-punch-xSu4xGL9MAkvSbvtNYCvWwuAK.jpg 728w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/imgbin-raised-fist-computer-icons-punch-hand-punch-xSu4xGL9MAkvSbvtNYCvWwuAK-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/imgbin-raised-fist-computer-icons-punch-hand-punch-xSu4xGL9MAkvSbvtNYCvWwuAK-600x419.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 728px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 728\/508;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"508\" src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/imgbin-raised-fist-computer-icons-punch-hand-punch-xSu4xGL9MAkvSbvtNYCvWwuAK.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/imgbin-raised-fist-computer-icons-punch-hand-punch-xSu4xGL9MAkvSbvtNYCvWwuAK.jpg 728w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/imgbin-raised-fist-computer-icons-punch-hand-punch-xSu4xGL9MAkvSbvtNYCvWwuAK-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/imgbin-raised-fist-computer-icons-punch-hand-punch-xSu4xGL9MAkvSbvtNYCvWwuAK-600x419.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ouch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like movement our brains are wired to chase feeling. When you are happy you chase that feeling to be happy again. Your body will move to you brains command. The inverse is also true though when we are hit the feeling of pain or ouchie commands our brains processing. For example If I were to throw a punch and then get hit before I could land the punch my brain would immediately think of the pain vs trying to execute the next attack. Another great example of this is thinking in the negative our brains are not capable of it. Dont think of a purple elephant. What do you do you think of a purple elephant&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default wp-block-gallery-16 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"2162\" data-src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/ouch.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2162 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/ouch.jpg 800w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/ouch-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/ouch-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/ouch-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/ouch-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/ouch-100x100.jpg 100w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/800;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"2162\" src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/ouch.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/ouch.jpg 800w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/ouch-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/ouch-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/ouch-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/ouch-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/ouch-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"230\" height=\"219\" data-id=\"2163\" data-src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/images-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2163 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 230px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 230\/219;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"230\" height=\"219\" data-id=\"2163\" src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/images-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2163\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hip Throws<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throws have been one of the most difficult things to describe and teach. One can not tell someone how to do a hip throw. There are so many elements at play that the brain just can not focus. Instead one has to listen to thoughts and create their own metaphor \/ interpitation of how to complete the movement. Only then will you be successful in your throws. With throws you must elevate your opponent any pull down will kill the throw. When you practice think of it as dancing but you are leading them to their tipping point. Like the images below we are stars with mass and that mass has a non zero gravitational pull. This pull allows us to pull in our opponent and then throw them off like bouncing off of each other but also like how stars pull into each other in a downward spiral so is your throw. Once they are airborne the downward accelerate delivers the true force. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/STScI-01FXX5R697FX02Z65P30FPCG9A-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2164 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/STScI-01FXX5R697FX02Z65P30FPCG9A-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/STScI-01FXX5R697FX02Z65P30FPCG9A-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/STScI-01FXX5R697FX02Z65P30FPCG9A-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/STScI-01FXX5R697FX02Z65P30FPCG9A-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/STScI-01FXX5R697FX02Z65P30FPCG9A-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/STScI-01FXX5R697FX02Z65P30FPCG9A-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/zcombat.com\/mnt\/share\/2025\/12\/STScI-01FXX5R697FX02Z65P30FPCG9A.png 1200w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px;
