Re: Question on Parting Wings
hey all, been a while..
anyway.. you commented on changing his height zone while on the inside...
remember.. the upper part of the human body bends at the waist, at the midsection and the neck. Now... if stepping back into a left neutral bow while deflecting both incoming arms.. shifting into a forward bow delivering a blow to the small ribs. Some have described it as a chop... humm not how I would describe it..
As you step back and deflect the push let your right hand continue into a small orbit (thus not having to stop and start your movement) intercepting your opponent at the small ribs folding them at the mid section with a heel palm. The combination of your strike with the forward bow and their forward momentum is more than enough to change their height zone at the midsection.
If your attacker does not commit to the push (which could happen on the street) or you step back too far... whatever.. if you find you are out of range.. remember, you can always step drag forward back into range.
just my two coppers..
thoughts?
