Traveling Dragon Spear – Part 2
THE FORMIDABLE CIRCLING AND SHOOTING TECHNIQUES OF THE SPEAR
The circling and the shooting techniques are often used together
The spear shoot is considered by many kungfu practitioners as the most formidable weapon attack because it is technically the most difficult to defend. As the spear is light and long, it is easy for the spearman to pull back the spear after each shoot, thus making it difficult for the opponent to dodge or to move in to counter-attack.
The spear shoot is enhanced by the circling technique. Even if an opponent successfully defects a spear shoot and moves in to counter-attack, the spearman can negate the opponent’s moves by circling the spear round the opponent’s weapon. The circling may be clockwise or antic-clockwise. The circling and shooting are often used together, making the combined movement a highly effective way for both attack and defence.
