What branches (if that is the correct terminology) of Kenpo practice slap checks? Since my instructor has more than one influence in his training history we are exposed to more than one set ideology. I?ve seen threads here and other places that talked about slap checks some seem to use them and some don?t.
Myself I am learning them and I seem to be bruising myself pretty good. Seems the harder I throw a punch, chop, hammer fist, block, parry, what ever the harder I tend to hit myself. I like the way the rebounding speeds me up but I have yet to figure out how to not nail the crap out of myself. Is it effective to work reps of this movement slowly and try and build muscle memory first, then work on speed and timing? Will that help to curve the hard slam checks to myself? How did those of you that use them get past this issue?
