FELLING TREE WITH ROOTS
Normally it is not advisable for a smaller size exponent to throw a bigger-sized opponent. But here Grandmaster Wong purposely chooses Michael Ubel, who towers above him like a giant, to act as the opponent so as to demonstrate the effectiveness of the throwing technique called “Felling Tree Together with Roots”.
Grandmaster Wong highlights the importance of ensuring the opponent cannot hit him (Grandmaster Wong) while he throws the opponent. He also demonstrate that a successful throw is not due to superior strength, but a skillful application of technique.
