Secrets of the Internal Force Masters -- Part 3
KICKS AND FELLING TECHNIQUES IN SEQUENCE SPARRING
Using "Striking Tiger Poise", Grandmaster Wong dodges a kick from Luis
This series of video clips show the lessons where the abridged Combat Sequences 2 and 3 are learnt. These sequences concern kicking and felling.
Students learn how to employ the tactic of pressing attacks on an opponent. One effective counter against pressing attacks, as shown in Sequence 2, is to kick as an opponent presses in. An excellent defence against any kicks is "Striking Tiger Poise". If an opponent dodges your kick, you may follow up with another kick.
The pattern "Carry Tiger Back to Mountain" is used to fell and opponent in Sequence 3. The counter is "Breeze Sways Lotus Leaves", which is a whirlwind kick.
All the three combat sequences learnt are then reviewed in solo practice.
