Platon Razumov Overall: As usual great syllabus knowledge Platon! Nice body movement and blocks from white to yellow senior. However your blocks on gold, gold senior and orange weren’t correct - remember how you block your back fist and that you must keep your hands closed! The reason we block is to completely move those punches/ kicks in the opposite direction so always need a strong block to do that - Below I’ll go through what you can do to improve next time… Your gold belt block was from a back fist so use a double forearm block in future, in your video you used an open hand catch sort of thing. Your gold senior block was fine but your hands were fully open to keep them closed! Orange again you need a double forearm block to block a backfist, catching it with your hand is a very risky business and most likely won’t work in real life! On your orange senior your block was much better with a closed fist, but don’t hold onto anything, remove contact as soon as possible and counter attack. Your green was very good! Lovely explanation, step forward and very nice counter attack. I’m passing you as I’ve seen you do those double forearm blocks and others very well in class, and I’m very impressed with your syllabus knowledge and memory of all your defence drills given the circumstances. My comments might seem harsh but as you move up the ranks instructors will get more picky as students begin make less obvious mistakes like you might’ve as a white belt, and more little ones. Well done for communicating with me and uploading all your videos to youtube. Good job to mum too she did some nice kicks! Overall I’m pleased, keep it up and hope you’re enjoying the videos!
