That would not be correct. To my knowledge, we do not use the term deng ta at all. Confining the opponents leg as in using the 7* stance falls under kau fa or locking methods.

Would it be accurate to state the following (in your school)?

Deng Pu (Tun Ta?): Sweeping/displacing opponents leg to throw opponent

Kau Fa: Confining opponents leg to throw opponent

Do you use the term Deng Pu?

I'm just trying to understand the categories of the these 2 types of throws/takedowns. There is a difference conceptually between sweeping your opponents leg, and confining it.
