2. ONE-STEP GUARD-CLEARING TECHNIQUES

There are a number of techniques in sticky-hand fighting that are called one-step guard-clearing techniques. Typically, these techniques involve one deflection or angle-altering hand move, with a follow-up attack. The taun sao and punch/palm-strike is the simplest of these.

From a taun sao with the inside hand, turn out the opponent’s outer hand, and strike through the opening. Or alternatively, perform this move, but fake a strike, and attack instead with the opposite hand. Another good technique is to alter the angles of the opponent’s defense, so that an opening materializes. For example, in the rolling hands, when you rotate from bong sao/fook sao to taun sao/punch, with your left hand in bong sao, try applying a slight circular force to the motion forming the taun sao so that your opponent’s hands both move to the left. At that split second, a free path opens up for an attack.

Apart from these techniques, there are many other one-step guard-clearing techniques. You may push a hand out of the way or lift it up; a hand may be cleared by the downward force of the jut sao, or a bil jee strike may be forced through using the piercing-hands technique from the Chum Kil form. The opponent’s hands may also be drawn downward, so that they come together (constituting a partial trap) and a strike made through the opening to the hand which is then created.
