Cantonese names for Kam La techs?

[yutyeesam]

Are there Cantonese names for the various Kam La techniques?
If so, what would it be for the Armbar?

In Japanese (Aikido), there is Ikyo, Nikyo, Sankyo, Kotegashi, and Shiho-nage. I know what these techniques literally mean, but they are commonly used to refer to specific locks.

Are there specific Cantonese names for each of these basic joint lock positions?

Thanks,

I don't Cantonese but here's one in Mandarin translation:

Tui Sa Ya A Ra Ma

[yutyeesam]

Thanks Fu-Pow. Do you know which lock-technique that's a Mandarin translation for?

You've said the problem in your intitial post . Even in Aikido many of the names describe the nature of the movement rather than a specific hold, it's just that the technique that is commonly used to demonstrate that principle picks up the name as well. This is also true with Kung Fu, certainly with CLF. It's the movement described and the energy expressed that is important (also remember that most will have an explicit move from forms associated with them), so they're just Poon Kiu, Lok Kiu, Jap Sau etc

jap sau?

can you please explain?

according to a chan family site there are 12 bridges.

with all the branches, are there any more than 12 out there that we know of?

[hasayfu]

What are the Chan's 12 bridges?

Hung Gar also has 12 bridges. They are not specific to Kum La but cover the possiblities when there is contact.

chuin kiu, poon kiu, gong kiu, kuan kiu, gort kiu, yong kiu, dom kiu, lok kiu, chum kiu, lau kiu, chee kiu, and lap kiu.

Hey 123, it was joke, albeit a very poor one.....

.... Tui Sa Ya Ra Ma =Twist Your Arm :p

lol! Dang I'm fooled easily! Good thing I don't get random Chinese characters tattooed on my body.

Is there a Cantonese word for "technique"?

Faat=Method.

Fu Pow:

You beat me to it. Generally you will hear terms like girk faat (kicking or leg techniques), kwun faat (staff techniques), etc...

Thanks guys. Any ideas for the Cantonese names for inside and outside crescent kicks? Hooking kicks?

Thanks!

[CLFNole]

Inside Crescent - Loi Bi Leen Toi
Outside Crescent - Oi Bi Leen Toi
Hook - Ou Girk

[yutyeesam]

Thanks CLFNole...foolish question: is "bi" pronounced "bye" or "bee" or "bay"?

[CLFNole]

Pronounced "bye".

[Wong Ying Home]

Ngoi (oi) Cum Sau - Outside grabing hand
Loi Cum Sau - Inside Grabbing hand

Palm down, circle hand outwards or inwards

Ngau Cum Sau - Hook grabbing hand

[CLFNole]

The question was about kicks not punches. :D
