Sifu Rolland uses "Great Sage Looks at Way" to deflect an opponent's attack and simultaneously strike him

---

The patterns “Great Showing of Majesty” and “Great Sage Looks at Way” from the Monkey Set are similar in appearance. But do they have different combat applications?

They must have, otherwise they won’t be different patterns. Nick and Sifu Rolland demonstrate some combat applications of these two patterns. You may, for example, use “Great Showing of Majesty” to kick an opponent as he kicks.

Some interesting applications of “Great Sage Looks at Way” are demonstrated. They include deflecting an opponent’s attack and simultaneously striking him, and preventing an opponent from moving away as you kick him.
