KICKS AND FELLING TECHNIQUES IN SEQUENCE SPARRING
Using "Striking Tiger Poise" to dodges a kick
This series of video clips show the lessons where the abridged Combat Sequences 2 and 3 were learnt. These sequences concern kicking and felling.
Students learned how to employ the tactic of pressing attacks on an opponent. One effective counter against pressing attacks, as shown in Sequence 2, was to kick as an opponent presses in. An excellent defence against any kicks is "Striking Tiger Poise". If an opponent dodges your kick, you may follow up with another kick.
The pattern "Carry Tiger Back to Mountain" was used to fell an opponent in Sequence 3. The counter was "Breeze Sways Lotus Leaves", which is a whirlwind kick.
All the three combat sequences learnt were then reviewed in solo practice.
