also, i would like to ask any practitioners who know the cantonese name for a technique we train a lot in 7* mantis. it is the drill which appears in yee lo yare yeu kuen often. the drill is:-

right hand block with left hand straight punch, right drilling punch, righ rolling back fist, right toe kick with ward off palms in tiger riding stance.

we train this drill often as it trains closing the gap on your opponent while encorporating the high-low theory. just wondering the chinese term for the drill?

cheers

Greetings Steve7mantis

Thanks for the heads up. I have always enjoyed Sifu Lee Kam Wing’s material.

I think the drill you mentioned is a piece from Beng Da Bi Men. Sifu Carl Albright has this on his site I believe. May be Brendan could give you the name for this as well.

This can also be found in the end of first road of Meihua Lu. I also think this appears in Wuchui in TJPM, TJMHPM, etc… as the numerous postures practice.

It basically is Diao Da, Bu Chui, Beng Chui, and Bi Men Jiao combination. As far as I know, you can drill this 2 ways. One is Beng Da Bi Men and the other I have seen Tainan drilled it but I don’t recall the name for the drill. The main difference is the kick. The Beng Da Bi Men is harder to kick to the grion because the counter side is in an opposite side lead (left side forward while you are in right side forward). This also sets up his block Di Chin (lower carry) and followup with a fanche. Tainan’s way would allow the kick right into the groin because of the same side lead. But the counterside doesn’t use Di Chin to block. It would break off and re-engage after the kick. No Fanche is used. Both ways are like 2 sides of the same coin.

Best regards
