Trapping and Sticking Techniques

Trapping and sticking techniques are usually thought to have come only from Wing Chun, but in truth, many styles and systems use these types of techniques. I will come back and write more on this topic. However for now, here are some pictures of the guys doing some of these techniques.

As the first punch came in, you catch his wrist, waiting for his second punch, use a open inside block

As his punch reaches it's furthest thrust, is when you jerk his hand down very hard and fast. This traps his other arm, underneath, same time pushing his arm tight on top of his other arm. With a quick snap, center punch into cheek bone.

Steps in to punch you, slide forwards to side with right leg, open inside block to punch

Second punch attacks, block again using same type block, only make sure to grab first punch by wrist right after block. Again with second block grab wrist, and slam it down on top of his first punch which you still have,, trap his hands, and center punch to point of chin. Or cheek bone, or temple area, all depends on which way his head is as to where you will aim your punch.

As you can see your attacker traps himself.

Sifu Dee

Much more to come

Steps back on step, as he blocks first punch downwards in circle motion. As second punch comes in, keep circle going from first punch

As second punch comes into range for you to block, it should be exactly one circle motion round to block second punch. Also with second punch you stood firm, and did not take another step backwards, this to draw your attacker in. Also as third punch comes in, again you make a circle block motion, only this time, you have your second punch caught in your mantis claw, this will allow you to bring his second punch around in one circle motion, trapping his own third punch as he tries to hit you again.

Both Sifu Charles Croy and Sifu Larry Klentz are very experienced in sparing together, this comes only from years of free style push hands. Once two partners are used to training together for years, it is as if you can read each others motions, and when this happens, it is amazing how fast both of you will increase in speed and strength of technique.
