3 Count Sombrada

Hi Guys,

Because it's difficult to catch the movements mid flow, here's a few stills illustrating each position of the 3 Count Sombrada.

 I inside sweep against the angle 1 attack, I will follow it with an angle 4 strike

 My partner retreats his leg, with a palm down drop stick to counter my angle 4

I roof block another angle 1 he hits with after his drop stick defense

 I attack with the angle 1 and my partner defends with the inside sweep and angle 4

I counter his angle 4 with a palm up drop stick, notice I don't have to retreat the leg in this variation

My partner roof blocks my angle 1 attack

Sombrada drills are flowing and continuous, much like a circle it becomes difficult to determine where it starts and ends. As you can see from these stills there are a few attack and counter attacks that repeat in a loop. Once you understand each shape and position it becomes easy to flow and determine how you can start a Sombrada drill as there is more than one way.

See you in class guys, Oss!
