From that 1995 clinic with Sherman Harrill in 1996 I
just captured 87 screen prints from one small section of the clinic. It was
where he was describing different methods of striking (in part) and he went
through instance after instance during that explaination.
But one of them sticks out to me. It was probably
only seconds of that time, but it was also revealing why I felt an affinity to
what Sherman was showing us.
Back in 1978, walking one morning when I was a new
black belt, I remember trying to work out what karate striking could contain.
One of the things I came up with was that a strike
could be harder if you held onto the person at the same time you struck.
Here Sherman was showing that. Of course if you
blinked you missed it, for there was much, much more that day.
Just a brief moment in time, one that also has great
value.
