5 Basic Combinations (Renzoku Waza)

Here is a brief breakdown of the first 5 combination techniques (Renzoku Waza) that we have been covering in recent training sessions. These are great training drills that can be used to increase your endurance as well as see where individual techniques need improvement.
I first learned these in the mid-1980's from my Tang Soo Do teacher, Grandmaster Andy Ah Po. I am deeply grateful as always to him for sharing these with me as well as allowing me to share them with my friends and family in Karate-do. Thanks also to Price, Soke for seeing the value in these techniques and encouraging me to teach them in Chikubu-Kai.
There are some minor changes to these techniques, compared to how I learned them (eliminating the knee strike preceding the side kick in Combination #2, for instance), and I did not adequately explain the breathing used in the techniques. This is an aspect of training that gives me the most trouble. Despite my mistakes, I hope this will be of some help to anyone interested.
