share - Tin Yat Dragon Fist Combat Application Explains (full)

[David Jamieson]

I do not fish for hands and I do not chase arms.
I raise my shield, and thrust my lance.

Cutting an incoming jab is very low percentage, a hand pat (pak) works fast, a sideways cut works better when someone has a hand on you than on a thrown punch.

think of the short and to the target motion that a jab is.

To meet that, you must be even shorter and to the point.

Apparently we are talking about "Tin Yat Dragon Fist" here which is a very baby beginner form, and just explaining what is in the form. So if there aren't any sideway cut or soemthing in the form, then it's not in the form. Too bad~ haha!

Cutting an incoming jab is not that hard, the hardest part is because people don't know how to "see" the distance and know how to react.

BTW, it's also just about the "style" as well. Like you cannot compare the fighting style in wingchun and taichi much like that side to side. They are different but you do get effective techniques in both as well. Just that some can get used to this and some get used to that.
