With the emphasis on 6-NGK-3A one might think that 6-NGK-3B is not as important. Yet to any true blue NGK practitioner 6-NGK-3B is a bread and butter technique, full of F.O.G. to those who got a taste of it.

Our 2nd video lesson today is on the basics of 6-NGK-3B as follows :-

Exercise 1 – understanding the basics of using the rolling block which we can use the lesson of the three ways to step using two-shift stepping and index finger pointing as an aid to learning this.

When you learn the rolling block you can see the importance of stepping. If you don’t step quickly, you will have difficulty in using the rolling block.

But get the stepping part correctly you will end up in the position to apply the rolling block. At this point you learn how to do the rolling block by using the imagery of the steering wheel to understand the biomechanics.

Exercise 2 – we can use a simple exercise built on the analogy of the steering wheel to learn how to move the arms properly. This lesson is so simple that you can grasp it in like a minute.

Exercise 3 – put Exercise 1 and 2 together and that’s your basic rolling block and strike. That’s it. Its really that simple. What would be more difficult is to do the rolling block using the left arm with your right leg leading.

This is why the focus here is to do the rolling block with same hand, same leg leading since we can pick this up faster. But if you catch the lesson of Exercise 2 then you will find that you can just as easily do right hand rolling block and left hand rolling block with the same leading leg.

To be able to use the left hand rolling block with right leading leg study Exercise 1 carefully since the same principles apply.
