Now add all above elements together trying not to repeat a motion until all have been done, shadow boxing in short. Do both left and right leads.

Now do that again but add a knife to the free hand. Be sure to switch stick and knife leads.

Now put down stick and do shadow boxing with just knife.

Put down knife and shadow box empty hand.

Jab cross and hook.

Finally add leg strikes to this drill. Knees, teeps, obleeks, scoops, etc.

A Kicking Drill

• A simple fuete toe kick to the inner thigh
• Shin kick to inner thigh
• Right fuete to inner thigh followed by left shin kick to outer thigh
• Right shin kick to inner thigh followed by left fuete to outer thigh

The main difference by the two previous kicks is the spacial relationship.

Where you put your leg down after first kick measures range and will change lead of second leg from rear to lead.

• Right shin kick to inside followed by left bong tek driving forward to thigh, top of hip or gut
• Right bong tek followed by outside left shin kick
• Right fuete followed by left bong tek

These drills will take you from kicking range (fuete) through boxing range (shin kick) to trapping range (bong tek)
