This video clip shows students practicing how to throw opponents using the Shaolin pattern “Uprooting Tree with Roots”. Some of the students are beginning students. Hence you may notice that their movements may not be skilful – yet. But their techniques are excellent. The attackers have good stance, and unbalance the opponents before felling them – two conditions necessary for effective felling. Their partners also have good techniques in their falling, which enable them to be unhurt. Notice especially that they hit the ground with their palm last. Had their tried to stop the fall with their palm first, they may be injured.
