Grandmaster Wong demonstrates a deadly counter using a kick against an opponent executing a side-kick

---

For many people, kicks are quite formidable. They are at a loss as what to do when opponents kick them. This video series shows a variety of counters against kicks, some of which are quite deadly. If you have practiced these counters well, as soon an opponent executes a kick, you can readily defeat him.

There are also deadly techniques to grip an opponent’s head, especially if he attempts to take you down with a shoot. You would also learn how to counter if an opponent grips your head or throw knee jabs at you.

Spiritual Dragon Rises to the Sky

Dr Damian asks about the pattern “Spiritual Dragon Rises to Sky” from the Five-Animal Set. Grandmaster Wong says that he will retell a story about Grandmaster Ho concerning this pattern. Many members of our Shaolin Wahnam Family would have heard about this story of Grandmaster Ho using this pattern to throw a three-time international Muay Thai champion out of the door when he came for a challenge.

Contrast with Dark Dragon Draws Water

Grandmaster Wong contrasts this pattern “Spiritual Dragon Rises to Sky” with another pattern “Dark Dragon Draws Water”. If we use this “Rising Dragon” pattern against an opponent throwing a punch, we must be careful of his Horse-Back-Kick.

Bail Moon from Sea Bottom

We may also use this “Spiritual Dragon Rises to Sky” against a kick, in which case the risk of an opponent countering with a Horse-Back-Kick is minimal. But Grandmaster Wong suggests that we could use “Bail Moon from Sea Bottom” instead.

Golden Cockerel Stands Solitarily

What combat functions do the elbows serve in the pattern “Golden Cockerel Stands Solitarily” as performed in the Five-Animal Set? Grandmaster Wong provides an example. After executing a kick, an opponent jumps in to grab your neck and throws knee jabs at you, as many Muay Thai fighters do. “Golden Cockerel” with the elbows extended will be a good counter.
