Dear Ostad Jalilzadeh thanks to you!!

TO'A!

Dear Ostad Jalilzadeh, first of all thank you again for Suto kung fu ka lessons!

I have two questions about it.

What is striking of this mumay is the low position which I was already told, and the Chinos. Why are they so open? The fists are high as the shoulders, and elbows 135 degrees more or less and not to the 45 degrees but more open. The left hand seems to be at 10 hours and the right at 2 hours. What am I doing? Am I defending from someone coming from the sides, or is it just for a reason of balance? The front of my body is completely open.

Second question, also this about Chino. You said at the beginning that we hit to the middle front and open to the side. It seems I am hitting with the back of the fist and opening the guard of the opponent. May it be?

Thank you!

Hello,
As you know the main function of Chino is to divide the power and make the body ready for the next move.
On Suto mumaiy, we have bigger and wider Ratos. So, for making stable balance during the Suto techniques we are going to need bigger and higher Chino.
By the way, all Chinos in Suto mumaiy are in the strike position, either open hand or fist. When we make a Chino with the fists, both hands strike up side down with two knuckles in the middle of the body then open to the side at 45 degrees. (elbow position is 135 degrees)
Don't forget twist and turn when you making Chino.

Dear Ostad you have been perfectly clear. Thank you!

Dear Ostad Jalilzadeh, I have some questions about the last Suto lesson....

The first one, is just to make sure I got it properly. When we hit Waima Duma defense with the right arm, and at the same time with the left arm we make an Afma technique, Waima Duma hits at 5 hours, a little to the back, correct? I mean, if at 12 hour is my point of start, I don't have to hit at 3 hour, but at 5, which is in line with the leg, correct?I think that if it would hit to 3 hours also my right leg should be more to the side, and not as a big rato. Did I got it?

Konjma technique: this technique hits with the corner of the hand. What am I doing? is it a defence? or am I hitting as an offense technique? and what am I hitting, what part of the body of the opponent?

"Hapkibato": this kia is difficoult to say! Does it has some meaning?

Thank you!

Hi dear Patrizia,
1- You are correct, we have a big Rato and Weiyma Duma as a defence blocking the incoming kick. The defence has to continue to cover the area which it is defending.
2- Konjma always is an offence technique. Here, it is a short offensive technique. That is why we should use the opposite shoulder as a reaction. Because the opponent is too close, there is not enough room and time to make a regular punch or move. usually this type of technique hits the stomach area like an uppercut in boxing.
3- "Hapkibato" means the opposite of "Bato". In "Bato" we want the unification and gathering to be together. In "Hapkibato" we want to put away all the bad and negative things around us. We want to clean ourselves from evil thoughts and evil people.

Hitting a low kick is never a good technique (Haney Keyeto), that's why the end of the low kick in Suto we kia "Hapkibato" for people with a bad personality, we also use a low kick.
