| Had few light sparring matches with 2 Shan Shou guys. Glad to see my Crazy Monkey defense working well.Generally there is not much difference in their offensive tools such as the jab and cross but they do like to block punches by extending their forearm out or simply covering up their head with both arms (not sure if this is a technique or just a reaction).The more experience guy, Ooi likes to jab, cross then disengage (by stepping back). When I crash the line to unload, sometimes he simply turn his back when overwhelmed. He told me that in Shan Shou competition, contestants are not allowed to hit anyone who turn his back. I find this kind of approach and rule might expose a person to dangerous risks in a self defense situation. You certainly do not want to turn your back on someone attacking you for real, esp. when he's armed.I'll need to brush up my offensive tools vs. someone who hit and run. Too bad we didn't try clinching. It was a great experience for me and I made a few new friends.The Net is real slow these few weeks due to the broken links in Taiwan. Will be updating the website once speed has been restored.Happy New Year folks!! |
