In this first volume of the two-volume series “Foundation of Striking”, instructor Vasilis Stamatiou introduces the STORM methodology of teaching and learning the basic skills of hand striking for bare knuckle fighting and self defense. The STORM approach evolves almost exclusively around biomechanics and power generation, presenting the “3 Lines of Attack” principle: the Outward, Lateral and Diagonal lines, along and around which all hand strikes occur, following these fundamental three mechanical patterns.
“Foundation of Striking vol. 1” covers the Outward and Lateral lines of attack and includes lots of mechanical explanations, strike applications, instructions on how and when to use closed fists and/or other tools, ways to generate explosiveness and power, basic footwork, tactics and drills, as well as self defense tips and exercises for strength and solo training.
Chapters include:
1) The closed fist issue
2) Strengthening the grip and wrist
3) Knuckle conditioning
4) Fist placement
5) Power generation
6) The fighting stance
7) The 3 Lines of Attack
8) The Outward Line of Attack and the straight punch
9) The mechanics of the straight punch
10) Putting the Outward Line of Attack into tactical use
11) Conceptual drills for straight punching
12) The “two straight strikes” combination
13) Stepping and moving forward with straight strikes
14) Palm strikes
15) The folkloric straight punch
16) Strength, conditioning and mechanics with the use of tools for the outward line of attack
17) The Lateral Line of Attack
18) The circular punch
19) Exercises and tools to increase your lateral biomechanical ability
20) Weight placement
21) Moving forward with the lateral line of attack
22) Combining lines of attack and strikes
23) Combining the lateral line of attack with sidestepping
24) The lateral palm strike
25) Sidestepping for self defense
26) Striking with the wrist bone and the forearm
27) Countering with the lateral line of attack
28) Lateral line of attack drills
29) Lateral elbows
30) The lateral backfist
