Sifu Al Dacascos

This is a shot of Sifu Al Dacascos immediately after kicking me about a dozen times in the legs. Let me give you the word bubbles here:

Sifu Al: “And each of those hurt, right?”
Wally: “Yes, sifu.”
Sifu Al: “That’s it. Don’t waste any moves. Hit all the time.”
Wally: “Yes, sifu.”

We had the opportunity to take a seminar today, led by Sifu Al Dacascos and his student Si-Hing Kevin Jackson.

What did we learn? Well, I learned that Sifu Al knows how to make a heel kick work. I also learned a (I kid you not) 15 strike combination that I think I’ll be able to remember until tomorrow if I practice it about a dozen times. I’m sure you’ll see me stealing it (or at least pieces of it) soon in some of my classes. And finally, we learned that elbows can do just about anything.
