The crosses on the wall have nothing to do with our religious views yay or nay it was a place who held church on Sunday and let us use the area (free) to teach class. Here is #9 from my book, hope this helps some to learn more about San Soo. Lesson #9
Opponent punches with his left hand toward your head…
Step into opponent with a right front horse (in front of his left foot) as you deliver a double down windmill, blocking the top of his fist or arm, moving it down. What is meant by a “Double Down Windmill” is the same type of windmill you use in your windmill practice. Like two propellers rotating but in synchronization – one passes the center shortly after the other has just passed. This is very important as the right hand blocks his left hand down, followed by your left down windmill passing in front of his face, taking his attention which is the set-up for your next strike.
The follow up is a right upward palm to his nose. Use caution on this type of strike as it could cause him to hemorrhage and result in death. You may change your target to the jaw or chin, if you wish. The strike after the windmill appears to be one continuous movement.
Left open web hand to his throat.
Right hammer to his left jaw.
Right backhand to his throat.
Left roundhouse one-knuckle fist to the right side of his neck.
In this lesson you will learn…
This technique contains many subtle superior fighting techniques.
Suppose your opponent strikes with a left punch followed up by a right punch. You will be protected by a double down windmill unless your opponent uses “Broken Rhythm”, which is highly unlikely. The synchronization of that windmill is almost exactly the speed an attacker will throw two punches. When the left is blocked down by your right his right hand fires. Your left hand blocks that punch down as you right palm to his face. Try it with a partner – it works.
The other benefit previously discussed is deception and the application of the element of surprise.
This is the first time any strike travels up the “Blind Spot”. He watches your left hand as you down windmill. The palm travels up the middle line of his body and he can’t see if he is looking straight ahead.
Try this before you begin the lesson: Look straight ahead and touch your stomach and then raise that hand to your chin – can’t see it, can you? You have just found a blind area. This is the reason to keep his eyes busy with the left down windmill as the palm hand moves up the blind spot to strike him in the nose.
