    Wink Martial Trickery

    Hi guys,

    Do the internal arts place as much an emphasis on martial trickery as some of the weijia do?

    Any little information would be appreciated.

    I agree!

    So true..you can say that again!
    The Flow is relentless like a raging ocean with crashing waves devasting anything in its path.

    "Kick Like Thunder, Strike Like Lighting, Fist Hard as Stones."

    "Wing Chun flows around overwhelming force and finds openings with its constant flow of forward energy."

    "Always Attack, Be Aggressive always Attack first, Be Relentless. Continue with out ceasing. Flow Like Water, Move like the wind, Attack Like Fire. Consume and overwhelm your Adversary until he is No More"

    Here is a yellow one doing the tricking, in theory he sends the Qi to the throat to break the chopsticks, but look at 0:21, he subtly bend the chopsticks with the front two hands by pressing them downward, before breaking them.

    A similar "trick" is used in the Internal arts, bend the vertical alignment of your opponent, so he loses his gravitational strength, thus upsetting his balance before sending him flying.

    So, how much are you making per trick?

    This is an excellent question. I was trained in martial trickery by my senpai, Nicky Flude, who emphasized it above everything else. I suppose traditional Ninjutsu made most obvious use of these skills.

    more asshattery from fools.
    Mouth Boxers have not the testicular nor the spinal fortitude to be known.
    Hence they hide rather than be known as adults.

    Well, I guess if you don't have any real skill , you have no other choice.

    But what constitutes a trick?

    I would say, what is not a trick, would be skill , if I told you what I was going to do and you still could not counter or stop it, that is one aspect of skill, if I even did it slowly, that's is even higher aspect of skill.

    wai jia stresses speed and power

    so strike first or arrive first.

    nei jia stresses passive offensive

    so strike later but still arrive first.

    paths vary but destination the same.

    In all seriousness, feinting, drawing, leading are all 'trickery'. A women useing her feminine wiles would be a stratagy based on trickery. feining weakness or injury. Distraction/ attack on the blind spot. Hidden weopons.

    Martial trickery is equal to physical skill and ability. True martial trickery requires great imagination as well as great skill to pull off. I consider it to be a very necessary skill in any form of combat. Parlor tricks aside, because they are parlor tricks and worthless for the most part, trickery will give you momentary superiority in an advantage over your opponent.
