转环崩(Zhuan Huan Beng) - Circular Beng Chuan

[YouKnowWho]

In spear fight, when you stab your spear at your opponent's chest, your opponent can use his spear to make a small circle to deflect your spear head away from his chest. You can pull your spear back and stab again, or you can borrow your opponent's spinning force, spin your spear along with your opponent's spear, and still stab at his chest.

When you make a straight punch, your opponent can block (deflect) your punch from all different directions. If you can use your arm like a spear, spin your arm with your opponent's block (deflect), you can still continue your striking. To make your "straight" punch circular and to make your "circular" punch straight will require a lot of training.

Old Chinese saying said, "崩拳有九(Beng Quan You Jiu) - A straight punch can be changed into 9 different ways". If your opponent blocks (deflects) your leading arm, you can change your straight punch into:

- hook punch,
- back fist,
- spiral punch,
- elbow strike,
- ...

If the statement "崩拳有九(Beng Quan You Jiu) - A straight punch can be changed into 9 different ways" is true, what do you think the other changes may be?

If the statement "崩拳有九(Beng Quan You Jiu) - A straight punch can be changed into 9 different ways" is true, what do you think the other changes may be?

Downward strike? Upward corkscrew punch? Punch changes to finer strike as it pushes through a block? Punch changes to a circular palm strike? Punch changes to a grab when blocked?

Just a few ideas....:)

we call it jow sao-running hand. It requires a live hand in order to listen and respond.
The permutations are endless.

Many Many Changes,

Sticking to the fist though, a change i like is 'Xia Ya Quan'

It means downwards pressure fist.

You change your vertical fist to the upside down position (turning to the inside) so the big knuckles are at the bottom with a corkscrew motion, often (but not necesserily) with a downwards trajectory. In this case the elbow is above the height of the fist which allows you to apply a lot of downwards pressure. The downwards pressure can allow you to go 'through' his intercepting hand.
