Lama boxing uppercut
The "Lion's Roar" lineages (Lama Paai, Bak Hok Paai, Hap Ga Kyuhn, etc.,) have a basic principle of "keeping the hands away from the body." Since we obviously cannot always choose the range we must use there are also short range tactics for when we are force to fight in a da men position.
A common method for face-to-face situations is to respond with a series of johng uppercuts with the elbows close to the body. The waist rolls with each strike and the legs help generate force. The head is angled forward to take blows on the thicker parts of the skull.
The continuous uppercuts allow you to clinch at will. They can be combined with hooks and overhands to find more open targets.
But it also means you can be put into a clinch yourself if you fail to dominate the center.
Any thoughts on this as a tactic? Commonalities with methods in other Southern styles?
