I see so much similarity between the lead/reverse stick punch and the lead/reverse bare knuckle mechanics. The orientation of the fist is different but the use of the drop step and some other body mechanics as well. You can really see many of the concepts that Lee lifted in developin Jeet Kune Do with his strong side forward and the lead hand striking. Interesting material for sure.
@James Smith Yeah, he became very enamored with old school boxing. If you haven't, you should read Teri Tom's "The Straight Lead" it goes into great detail of his (Lee) analysis of the strong side forward and the mechanics of his understanding of the old style straight lead. Teri Tom was a long time private student of Ted Wong. It is a great read.
Yesterday I purchased the Intro Irish Stick Fighting Classroom material. After having a browse through the content and liking what see/watched, I decided to take the plunge and ordered Intro-Intermediate Irish Stick Fighting Classroom. There is plenty of material to keep me going. 🙂
