Written Summary:
This video is an
introduction to the empty hand fighting system developed by Mr. Hock Hochheim of
Lewisville, Texas. And brother, let me tell you, I am impressed. The material presented
on this video is the required learning material for Level I ( yellow belt ) students
of Mr. Hochheim and there was more practical combat training material on this one
level than one will find in the first 4 to 5 levels of some other systems. The yellow
belts in this system ( if they learn what is on this video ) will have more fighting
skill and savvy than students of much greater rank in many other systems. Once again,
I emphasize PRACTICAL. No gi’s, no kata, no bare feet. But very, very practical.
Mr.
Hochheim begins the video by contrasting the difference between dojo falling and
falling for real outside on the asphalt/gravel/cement surfaces. Open hand strikes
are discussed with some training drills shown as well as the use of the lead hand
jab and front kick. There are several very intensive looks at the Standing Center
Lock and the Head Twist Takedown with detailed explanations as well as 5 to 6 combat
applications of each move as well as counters to these two moves. This is NOT a bunch
of guys in a studio ripping through a bunch of moves and leaving the viewer to sort
everything out. This is detailed explanation of how to correctly perform various
moves and how to avoid pitfalls that might short circuit the techniques. Finally,
there is an excellent section of combat trapping hands for Level I students. Real
combat trapping hands too, and not a bunch of complex, impossible to pull off in
a real fight moves.
If this material is typical of what Mr. Hochheim expects
from beginning students, then I cannot wait to see what is on the more advanced videos.
I strongly recommend this video to anyone interested in learning how to defend themselves
on the street. Even though this material is technically designated as beginning level
material, fighters/martial artists of any experience level will find the material
on this video extremely useful.
