Key Coaching Themes

Side Step and Counter

Grand Master Daher demonstrates how an efficient side step can open the door for a clean counter-attack without rushing or over-reaching. Footwork timing is emphasised as the foundation of effective sparring.

Body & Head Position

Correct posture influences balance, reach and defensive structure. Master Daher repeatedly highlights how small positional changes make a major difference in both offence and defence.

Putting It into Practice

Students are guided to test the concepts immediately through controlled partner work, ensuring each adjustment is felt rather than just discussed. This “learn-by-doing” method keeps the session energetic and highly practical.

Don’t Waste Your Time

One of the strong messages from the class: focus your training energy on drills and habits that genuinely improve performance. Grand Master Daher encourages students to cut out unnecessary motion that doesn’t contribute to speed, balance or accuracy.

Side Kick → Reverse Hooking

The transition from side kick to reverse hooking kick is explored as a fluid combination, built around balance recovery and hip control. This sequence offers a useful way to pressure an opponent while staying structurally sound.
