Seabrook
Black Belt
When I was with the WKKA back in 1995-1997, I remember and have video footage of this technique being taught to Brown/Black Belts to initially step to 2 o'clock as you pop the elbow.
I now teach it to step right to 12 o'clock as you do the break, and continue on with the technique. I found the step to 2 o'clock was too far and slowed down the speed of the technique, not to mention giving the opponent more time to hit you.
Does everyone else teach the technique by stepping directly to 12 o'clock? I know Mr. Tatum does but I would like to hear the views of others on this move.
