Defences

[Void Boxing]

What types of defences do you guys use? What types of defences are there? What kind of footwork do you guys use? If you could answer these as best you can i would be grateful please. Im trying to study and find the best of things and talking to people is part of my study. Thank you for your help.

Mobility (footwork - moving into and outof the different ranges...)

Offense (5 ways of attack and the many ranges)

[Mechanical] Defense: deflections (like pak, cover, salute....), things like catching jabs, shoulder rolls, ducks, bobs, weaves, slips, bong saus, using your elbows and an active guard to fend off randomness... etc ... knowledge of body mechanics and zoning your opponents limbs...

Conditioning (being tuff...)

Knowledge

Expierence (Sparr and find out.)

:eek:

Chi sao
Equipment work.
These i will use for sure.

I already have a list, ill share this with you now. Some feed back would be great. It is a piece taken from my book, im looking to expand and improve upon things, hence why im asking. Thank you for your help.

Tools are:

These on their own, are defence.
Combined with hitting – they are counter attack
Defence is counter attack.
Refer to counter book for defence tactics.

Forearm guards high.
- High outside.
- High inside.
Stop hit medium.
- Medium outside.
- Medium inside.
Stop hits:
- Stop hit/kick – launched before and in attack – refer to counter chart. Counter hitting all arts – research and apply counter tool to them.
- Jab
- Finger jab
- Front kick
Leg block knee up low.
- Uses a step that combines the burst and pendulum step.
- Low inside.
- Low outside.
- Low front.
Evasiveness
- Slipping
- Weaving
Ground defence:
- Break fall – side, flat on back.
- Grappling.
Parries
- Can attack simultaneously with strike and without it.
- Pak
- Larp
- Gum
- Guan
- Kan
- Quarn
- Bil

Definately think that exericse is a big thing, make your body like a suit of armour!!!

"Forearm guards high.
- High outside.
- High inside."

High inside is more restrictive than using the palm heel thumb down.

"Ground defence:
- Break fall – side, flat on back.
- Grappling."

For defense you might prefer to strike from the ground as well as move on/along the ground.

[No_Know]

I No_Know what defensebefore, during nor after, perhaps.

No preparation seems to improve my appriate actions' reaction time.

One might say I use Awareness as defense.

[No_Know]

There seems to be: absence of awareness, block, deflection, avoiding, yielding and ignorance.-2

These are the types of defenses.

absence of awareness
When some are waiting to attack, they wait for you to become aware. If you walk by and are not alerted they do not attack, perhaps.

block
Stop, jam, inhibit by getting in the direct line of motion~.

deflection
Bump, nudge the object in motion or a connected directly related part. Causing deviation in path of motion.

avoiding
Deliberate not getting hit

yielding
Accepting force with slightly less than equal force and maintaining that differential until the force balance equalizes at zero or some-such. Continuously regulating resistance to defend to the point of emptying the attack of energy.~ -ish

ignorance
Being humble, kao taoing, bowing your head, lowering your gaze...recognizing the other as superior in some way or rank, satiating the other's whatever for respect or acknowledgement of position/rank/power...acknowledging that you are less than them they don't bother hurting you because it is a waste of effort/ you are not worth it. Ignore that they are there and it is taken as fear/submission and you are comparitively left alone.

These seem to be a decent coverage of defense types.

I have one bit of advice for you, Void Boxing.

Get into a ring and SPAR. Find a grappling guy to go against.

The answers to your questions will come after you get beat up a bit.
