STICKY-HAND FIGHTING SKILLS

1. BASIC HAND TRAP

The idea behind hand trapping is to use one of your hands to cut an opponent’s arm down upon his other arm, so that it is pressed upon his body and is momentarily dead. This situation occurs when one of your hands is on top of your opponent’s hand. At that instant, an opening for a strike to the head exists. Repeated hits can be performed while maintaining the trap by alternating the hands that respectively hold and punch.

Another form of trapping hands involves using the opponent’s own body to cut off his attack. This occurs when the attacker gets into an opponent’s side and, with one of his arms, locks up the opponent’s upper arm, forcing it onto the opponent’s chest. Once again, a clear shot at the face is possible, and again, repeated hits involve maintaining the trap and alternating the hands that respectively hold and punch.

The cut-and-punch trap can be countered by moving your bottom hand out of the cut and using the internal close-body taun sao, deflecting the punch and immediately counter-attacking. The side trap must be evaded by footwork, moving to release the pressure on the upper arm, parrying the pressing arm, and countering with a bil jee, back fist, or side hammer-punch.
