Yes, he did it wrong...





Just in case you don't know, the RNC is the most successful technique in MMA, with the highest chance of ending a fight.

And it is so easy to do... that you better be ready to survive it, right? Because you could be tangled up in one in a street fight too.





First, the first one:





What? You didn't like it?

I learnt it from a 11th Dan Master!!





Never mind...





Let's try option 2:





Better?





The sequence is:

cover your neck

bump your behind forward

roll to one side

rotate to the other side and put the inside shoulder on the floor

stiff-arm the leg

jump over and finish him! Easy!













So, how does this relate to Kanku kata?

Well, option 2 can be done while standing:





bring your hands up

lower your body

rotate to the side

strike! Can you find it?

































Well, just before the nidan tobi geri.





Yes, I know!! A bit of a stretch! But now I am getting fun of the inverse process: instead of finding a meaning of a sequence of kata I try to find sequences of kata that match with the moves I do in MMA. Sometimes you discover a treasure that opens up other kata...
