Interesting version...I'll have to try that out. It looks very similar to the way I learned it with the exception of a few "insertions."

Thanks for the post!

1. LH- Grabs his left wrist And Pins both of his hands to your chest
LF- Steps back to 6:00 into a Right Neutral Bow stance
RH- Executes a right roundhouse punch to his right triceps

We do this pretty much the same but instead of a roundhouse puch we do a horizontal rising forearm strike.

2. LF- Steps up the circle to 5:00 into a Right Neutral Bow stance
RH- Executes an Outward Diagonal Hammer-fist to his solar plexus

The same with the exception of using a outward raking backknuckle.

3. LH- Executes and Outward Palm-Heel Claw to the left side of the
face
RH- Positions by your right ear

This isn't in our version I like it though.

4. RH- Executes and Inward Diagonal Forearm strike to his arms to
clear them
LH- Is a positional check at shoulder level

In the version I learned we strike with a right handsword to the neck after the inward diagonal forearm strike and then it ends. We learned this on the Purple belt card. Where is it taught in the AKKI? Thanks for posting!

It is a purple belt requirement.

Yeah, this is a little different from the one I learned as well. Tracy has a variation on this called Kimono Grab, I will try to find and post the one I learned.

"3. LH- Executes and Outward Palm-Heel Claw to the left side of the

you can actually insert a raking back knuckle to their left tricept, or ulnar nerve (not fun) on the way to the check/chamber by your ear .. sneaky sneaky, sir!

filling empty space and using the same pathway of action at the same time is fun

I learned the rising forearm strike version myself.

If you look up Mr. Mills on youtube; you would notice he mentions Mr. Parker personally taught that it was not a "hammer fist", but, rather a back-knuckle. Turning the hammer fist to a b.k. gives the strike added torque.
Seems GM Mills not only witnessed, but internalized what SGM Parker knew and taught.

I've been trying to picture this...
I like the idea, but I'm having a hard time seeing it without risking bringing their left arm toward your own head.
?Am I just not picturing it well?
thanks

Thank you.

Brother John,
Think of it as an outward extended block for the strike to the right arm. I think Mr. Mills has demonstrated it in one of his first CD's, the one with Mr. Jacob on the patio at the house of pain. Its out of context, but the same strike.

[madeku]

yes.. an extended outward block, modified for a back knuckle rake.. thanks crl.. tho im not sure of the clip in the house of pain vid you're talking about, it sounds like its what im thinking of

[CRL]

Hey madeku,
I had the wrong CD, either that or I saw it at Mr. Mills and its not out. The clip that I found for the outward extended is on the AKKI Las Vegas Camp Clips, Vol. One in the Euro section at 1:14 on the counter. Have had it demo'd on me, hurts like a bugger. LOL
