I will share a few more 1.5 tempo techniques this week. 1.5 tempo is for the intermediate practitioners which is faster (as a tempo) than 2.0 tempo (aka one two) techniques .

In short, in 1.5 tempo, you block and counter using the same arm or leg. Using a leg to do this is much more advanced and I will share only using the arm at this time.

As I have explained many times before, stepping straight back is the last option and you want to avoid it if possible. I recommend to the intermediate practitioners to step back in angle (i.e. 45 degrees and more).

I demonstrated two situations: Chudan oizuki and Mae geri.

For Chudan oizuki, as soon as you execute Uchi uke, deliver Urazuki without stopping the motion. The target can be any of Jodan, Chudan and Gedan. The key point is the timing.

For Mae geri, execute Gedan nagashi uke (not Gedan barai), then continue the semi circular motion of the arm to deliver Jun zuki or Kizami zuki to any of the target. The block/counter arm will make a full circle in this technique.

As I stated above, the timing is critical. Block and counter must be executed in single and smooth motion. This technique is kinesiologically faster than "one two" (2.0) techniques that are popularly practiced in Shotokan training.

You may feel that Kizami zuki is not powerful enough to knock the opponent down. In that case, you can always deliver the second attack such as Gyaku zuki, Gyaku haito uchi, etc.

The whole point of this technique is to learn how to move your arm so it can do multiple (2 and possibly more) tasks smoothly and effectively, instead of performing only one task.
