[QUOTE=-N-;1230856]Get a volunteer and demo the difference between classical form and application, and explain how to make the translation between the two.
That way you can do something interesting while making your point.[/QUOTE]
That will be a good suggestion. I don’t remember I have seen any demo like this as you have suggested? Most demo are just form after form.
If you can use equipment, demo something impressive on the equipment. I remember seeing a WC demo where at the end the Sifu (forgive me for lapsing on his name at the moment) broke the arms off the dummy and broke the dummy off of the frame.
Maybe you could bring a throwing dummy on stage and then do a couple very violent and powerful throws?
thats a good idea. throw the dummy onto its head so people cringe thinking about their necks.

I like N’s idea a lot, but if that doesn’t work out then I suggest you get a few of your worst enemies together and beat the sh!t out of them in front of the crowd. Of course that last part is sarcasm.
I do have an idea to contribute… Maybe a cutting/chopping demo with your favorite sword. I love to take mine out back and thin out the bamboo so maybe you could get a few of those mats that you roll up on stands and hack away.
Good luck with the demo!

I used the word “sh!t” in another forum and I was banned for almost a week (not allowed to get on that form until 12 pm 5/20). :o

We explain application like this in class to give students additional insight.
My sihing and I have demo’d like that while our teacher explained to the audience. But the explanation didn’t go into a lot of detail. People mostly just enjoyed seeing the action.

Good idea.
Demo some equipment training.
Throwing dummy, pole with weight at one end, the weighted cloth thing you guys use for snapping, belt cracking… bring a post and demo tree hanging.
Invite some from audience to try.

I had created the following SC form about 30 years ago.

I have seen an old book, by an ex-head of the British Judo Federation (I think), lots of black and white pictures, and there were some kind of solo drills or kata in it, though these were mainly related to hip, hand and leg position when on the ground. I’m not sure if these were originally part of judo, but looked useful training anyway for grappling on the ground.
depending on the crowd or audience.
give a talk
show a hand or two.
There are solo drills in Judo, which are different from gym to gym. There is also the Judo Taiso, developed by Kenji Tomiki, which is practiced in some dojos, but also widely adopted in Shodokan Aikido as as Unsoku and Tagatana Dosa. They also make horrible demonstrations. Good exercise, but boring to watch.
Since you can’t punch or throw an audience, to use audience to demo some “enter strategies” may be proper.

If you can get about six volunteers, you can pair them up and do like a mini seminar on a few techniques.
Let them walk through the basic movements and apply carefully on each other.
Then get one of the better volunteers and you can demo a little more realistically.
Then teach them some counters to the original techniques. Have them demo.
Then you demo again.
Greetings,
I agree with Golden Arms with the use of equipment.
Why not demo the training kungs associated with Shuai Chiao?
You can start with the stationary: The Tai Po
And finish with the dynamic: Belt cracking, sand bag grabbing/tossing, long sack with ball bearings, etc. :you choose.
You can always tie it in with an upcoming dvd that will go into those areas in greater detail.
