Combat Technique Number Six

Attacker attacks with Roundhouse kick. Sifu Croy steps towards roundhouse smoothering the power of the kick with his elbows of both arms. If you do not know how to do this block, yes you can have broken arms especially if you are blocking someone with world class kicks. However if you know how to use this block, it does not matter if the kicker is the best kicker in the world, you are taking him down.

As soon as you block his kick, flip your leg up and over his leg, sink your weight, which will bring him down to the ground. As you can see even when we grapple, we stay on our feet. This is the Chinese Methods of Grappling, we do not lie on the ground in some way holding onto our attacker with all limbs being used. If one does this, you can be dead very fast. That is another reason why we will not train martial sports like the Octagon, as long as those fighters are not kidding themselves thinking what they do is going to work for real. Yes it might against those who know nothing at all, but then again, ten guys standing around you, you take the first one down to the ground, holding onto him with two arms and two legs, and you have nine guys left to stab you every where in the body. Now is that stupid, or is that stupid. no that is sports.

After the technique, you can reach over, pull his head backwards against the grain of the hiar, and he will not try to wiggle out any more. You could hold him there for the police, but best to jump onto your feet fast and make sure no one else is around you, Even though we always keep one foot flat on the ground at all times.

Always listen to your teacher, he or she knows best, they have done it longer then you have, they have experience.

If you talk you cannot learn, if you listen, you will always learn.
