Thats Self Defence For You!
Saw this pic on the Ministry of Defence website, the caption below the photographs read…
Power punch: Girls participating in a Self-Defence Training Workshop for women organised by AFWWA (Regional) at Senior NCOs Mess, HQ Western Air Command, Subroto Park, Delhi. Inaugurated by Mrs Priya Singh, President, AFWWA (Regional), the 15-day workshop was conducted by two instructors from Crime Against Women Cell of the Delhi Police
If you call that a power punch, be prepared to attend to a broken wrist!
A few things I could not help but notice…
1) Look at the red circles I have marked, that’s not at all the right position in Karate, looks more like a half hearted effort.
2) If this was a 15 day workshop, then I would assume the girls would be in a proper Karate dress, and not in fancy jeans and t-shirts.
3) If the instructions are so bad, I can only imagine how bad the instructors are considering that the instructors are from Delhi Police. Which explains a lot!
The thumb should never be curled in…also the knuckles point skywards..they should be straight..the fore finger knuckle and ring finger knuckle would transmit a karate blow…just that two inces of bone comes in contact…forget about the punch …what about the basic stance..Heiko dachi… feet should be shoulder level distance apart
