Other styles claimed to have originated some of these kicks but had only employed them after seeing a Yaw-Yan practitioner execute them (if "Stealing from Yaw-Yan" is not the proper choice of words). Some possible Kicking Combinations (Offensive Techniques): 1) Right mountain storm, continue turning and execute left Circular kick. 2) Right mountain storm, right scorpion kick. 3) Sliding lead left frontal thrust, right mountain storm 4) Automatic Roundhouse - Left and Right 5) Left Side Snap, Right Side Thrust, Left Straight Back Kick. 6) Right mountain storm, slide right stomping, left straight back kick. 7) Right Roundhouse, left Yaw-Yan back kick, right outside slicer. 8) Left Yaw-Yan frontal side snap, turn left Yaw-Yan back kick. 9) Left outside slicer snap, right forward scooping, left Yaw-Yan back kick. 10) Automatic Scorpion left and right. 11) Triple Kick (same leg) side slash snap, scooping or hooking roundhouse. 12) Right frontal thrust, left straight back kick, right circular kick. 13) Left hooking, right circular, left roundhouse. Yaw-Yan Jump kicks although taught as part of training curriculum, was not included on the lists above as they have not been required for advanced disciple. Yaw-Yan Jump kicks were normally employed only on exhibition, although Yaw-Yan fighters have been seen successfully executing them on full contact fights. It has to be seen to be admired, when executed by a trained disciple, behind its awesome acrobatic and cinematic move is it's blindingly fast deadly precision. Grandmaster Nap advised that although Yaw-Yan jump kicks are very powerful, any jump kicks by nature leaves a fighter susceptible to damaging counter as soon as he is off the ground. Speed, timing, precision, and constant application in training, are the essential part in enhancing confidence to properly employ these kicks. --__--__-- Message: 2 From: Bakbakan@aol.com Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2002 09:45:22 EDT To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: [Eskrima] KALI ILUSTRISIMO Workshop Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Dear Filipino Martial Arts Enthusiasts: I will be conducting a workshop on KALI ILUSTRISIMO in Ellicott City, Maryland on October 5,2002.
