Grandmaster Wong reveals a secret that enables you to fell opponents bigger and stronger than you

---

In many other martial arts, if your opponent is bigger and stronger, you will have little chance of felling him. But not in Shaolin Kungfu. You will learn the secret in this video series.

You will also learn how to use patterns that are not normally associated with felling, to fell your opponents. You would probably associate “Hungry Tiger Catches Goat” with gripping, “Z-Shaped Butterfly Palms” with striking, and “Bar the Big Boss” with intercepting a whirlwind kick. But in this video series you can use them for felling.

You will also learn an interesting technique. You can use the same pattern your opponent uses to fell you, to fell your opponent instead! Let us say your opponent uses “Hungry Tiger Catches Goat” to fell you. Just when he thinks he has succeeded felling you, he finds himself fallen on the ground instead. To top it all, he is felled by your “Hungry Tiger Catches Coat”!

Z-Shaped Butterfly Palms

Grandmaster Wong shows Andy how to use the transitional Unicorn Step to avoid Steve’s stepping attack, and then fell Steve onto the ground. This pattern is called “Z-Shaped Butterfly Palms”, and is found in the Dragon-Tiger Set.

Four Ounces against a Thousand Tons

Grandmaster Wong illustrates the fine points of the footwork and spacing involved in this counter using the Unicorn Step. By moving from the Bow-Arrow to the Unicorn Step, you can not only avoid the attack, even without using your hands, but also deflect any powerful momentum coming straight at you, applying the principle of “four ounces against a thousand tons”.

Countering with the Same Pattern

Andy attempts to fell Steve using the pattern “Z-Shaped Butterfly Palms”. Interestingly, Steve uses the same pattern to fell Andy. But in this case, Steve pushes Andy away instead of felling him. Do you remember Sifu Innes using the same pattern Sifu Eugene uses, “Hungry Tiger Catches Goat” to fell him?

Bar the Big Boss

Grandmaster Wong demonstrates the fine points involved in deflecting an opponent’s hands at the Unicorn Step. To enhance the effectiveness of the felling attack, Grandmaster Wong changes from using a push or a sweep with the Butterfly Palms to using a downward elbow strike, with the opponent landing on Grandmaster Wong’s knee as he falls. This pattern is “Bar the Big Boss”.

Off-Balance an Opponent Before Felling Him

Grandmaster Wong shares another secret. To fell an opponent effectively, you must first of all off-balance him. You don’t wrestle with him. Notice that Grandmaster Wong has the opponent under full control. How would you escape or counter if you were caught in a situation as Andy?

The Richness of Shaolin Kungfu

Steve applies the technique just shown by Grandmaster Wong. The pattern used is “Bar the Big Boss”. Incidentally this application also shows the richness of Shaolin Kungfu. In that “Bar the Big Boss” has more combat functions than what many people may think.
