Straight Punch from Broken Range
Very similar to the straight punch from contact the stepping and Hau Pak will happen virtually at the same time from there the rest of the exercises the same as far as getting control of the back shoulder and transitioning to the back.
Straight Punch from Contact
Hau Pak is used here to maintain contact with the attacking arm by soft hand contact on the 3rd centreline of the arm (refer to the centrelines video for further clarity) whilst simultaneously stepping offline creating an advantageous position for the defender to strike without the attacker of being able to strike back so easily. Footwork is designed to help break the centre line of the opponent by crushing through their balance.
Uppercut from Contact
Defending an uppercut from contact is about connecting low elbow pressure of the shape jum sau. Jum looks to intercept the attacking arm (ideally sitting in the crook of the inside elbow) with a pressing downwards elbow. In this example we are using gentle rotation of the hip to pivot our attacker’s centre away from us.
Straight Punch to Belly from Broken Range
Using 3rd centreline connection and off-line step to pivot away from the attacking line, creating an opportunity to take the balance and get to the back.
Hook from Contact
It is important to maintain for fresher and fill the gaps that present themselves to you. The idea of expansion is quite prevalent within Cheung and in this attack expansion will prevent the attacker from dealing additional punches. if the expansion of the arms is complimented with good footwork, you can use this to overpower and off-balance your attacker.
Swing from Broken Range
With the swing defence it is important to step into the punch if you have the opportunity to anticipate the attack. Dealing with the punch from a position of lateness may require to yield position to get to the outside by passing over or under depending on whether it’s a higher or lower attack. Assuming you have intercepted the attack in good timing. This will put you in a good place to transition to the back or crash through to the back shoulder.
Low Swing to Belly from Broken Range
With the swing defence it is important to step into the punch if you have the opportunity to anticipate the attack. Dealing with the punch from a position of lateness may require to yield position to get to the outside by passing over or under depending on whether it’s a higher or lower attack. Assuming you have intercepted the attack in good timing. This will put you in a good place to transition to the back or crash through to the back shoulder.
Two Straight Punches from Broken Range
This defence combines ideas from straight punch broken range and straight punch from contact.
Uppercut followed by Straight Punch
Combining the Jum Sao technique with Li Sau for elongating the arm. Jum Sau is used just like in the single uppercut exercise shown before, however the second punch of the back hand is intercepted on the outside using Li to gently connect to the punching arm via the 3rd centreline, and extend the opponent’s arm.
Low Straight Punch followed by high Straight Punch
Combining both defence aspects of high and low straight punches starting from broken range finishing in contact.
Low Swing followed by High Swing from Broken Range
Combining low swing defence and transitioning to high swing defence. Maintaining forward pressure is essential to gaining advantage and leverage over your opponent.
Two high Swings from Broken Range
Defence from multiple swing attacks requires good contact and forward pressure, if the defence is late the defender has the option to pass the guide and get to the back quickly negating the second punch. if the defender is able to intercept the first swing in good timing, the attack may throw a second punch following the early sequence rather than navigating to the back after the first.
Hau Pak
Lat Sau drill
This drill helps to train the fundamentals of connecting to the third centre line and deflection from the first centre simultaneously practising coordination and timing and accuracy of connection when changing gates
Pressuring the Guard, practicing broken range into Chi Sao with footwork
This is a coordination and sensitivity drill aimed at understanding the fundamental principle of the hand connecting before the body reacting. In other words we seek using the hands and then the body responds accordingly depending to what we feel.
